In that brief interim between the mindless grogginess of Fall and Spring Semesters - not unlike seeing the light of day between tunnels on a car trip a thought struck us: the SBA Election Committee was to sponsor a student referendum on the proposed Rules of Conduct for Examinations “shortly after the Thanksgiving break.” What happened? For that matter, the SBA House of Delegates was to vote, on November 30, on a number of proposed amendments to their Constitution - to date, no results have been forthcoming on that vote. A closer inspection of the Constitution (Section 1 103) reveals that the House of Delegates has the sole power for ratification of any amendment, and the only ratification power that students at large have is by petition, in opposition to any House-ratified amendment - by at least 150 of them - to force a general referendum on the question - hardly a fulfillment of the concept of “consent of the governed.” Indeed, the only “student” copy of the Constitution available for perusal is “on file” in the Student Activities Office. aJeez... It is George! There goes the neighborhood!” An ostensibly “student” government, with an operative budget running into thousands of dollars, should certainly — hold itself to higher standards of accountability and try t6e £dit
