Skaaren com- mented that he had contacted a lawyer who would be willing to work with the Senate on this project. No decision was reached con- cerning the exact structure of the executive, because no gen- eral consensus could be reached. There is no argument against the three vice-presidents, but the role which would be held by a president remains unsolved under those conditions. No class requirements The major changes in the new document include the fol- lowing: The classes as voting units have been abolished, with the exception of the freshman class which will be enfranchised to elect its representative to the Senate in the fall. With this, there will be no class require- ments for any Student Asso- ciation offices. The composition of the Sen- ate as a body will include the college presidents, one senator from each c<#lege, and a sena- tor-at-large, in addition to the existing officers.
