The exact date has not yet been decided to fill 12 open seats. Last spring's elections produced three candidates, Emmitt Calloway (KCC's past student service's chairperson) Alina Droz and Ronald Hutchins. Student services has 15 elected seats. A new. charter implemented in the fall of 1986 states: "there shall be one representative of each rec­ ognized active student club and one of each of two boards," and that "the variable number of stu-. dents be equal to the number of representatives from the (student) boards and clubs."
