Unlike the Constitutional Convention of our American forefathers, COLLEGE INTERNSHIP PROGRAM MEMBERS the BSU Constitutional Convention was a model of efficiency and cooperation. Members of all three branches of student government amended the constitution to broaden the rights of part-time students. Part- time students will now be able to serve as senators-at-Iarge and committee members. The constitution was revised so each college will be represented by one senator and one senator-at-Iarge. Because both full-time and part-time students are effected equally by ASBSU regulations, the change allows for 50 percent representation in the student senate for part-time students. The recall process outlined in the constitution was simplified to

Sorry about that
We, the staff of The Arbiter, owe you, the campus community, an apology. . We are sorry the paper was late last week. But we also feel compelled to pass the buck, or at least offer an explanation. Our production schedule calls for us to have the paper to bed (that's news-speak for pasted-up and ready to be printed) by Monday afternoon at 5 p.rn. Our contract with the printers, Graphic Arts Publishing, states that if we meet our deadline, they'll have the fin- ished paper back to us within 24 hours. Well, we haven't missed a deadline yet this year. In fact, that's edi- tor Pat Schmaljohn's No. 1 rule. "If we have to put out an eight-page, black and white paper to get it out on time, we'll go back to doing that," Schmaljohn says. But the problem last week didn't happen down here in our basement. It happened i"nthe large printing facility owned and operated by Graphic Arts Publishing. According to Reed Hansen, president of GAP, the firm has been in the midst of retooling its presses to give its customers better quality, faster turnaround time and improved service. A noble intention, but when overhauling sensitive equipment, problems are bound to come up. And one came up last week. On Wednesday morning GAP told us the paper would be done by that afternoon. That afternoon they told us it would be ready the next morning. Thursday morning we learned that they had had more prob- UNFUND(D MANDAT(S lems Wednesday night and that we wouldn't get our paper until Friday morning.
