Student On Corporation

The Corporation of Providence College is the highest decision-making body in this institution's system of government. From this body emerge decisions which determine both the direction and the priorities which our college is to pursue. Recent changes such as co-education and the new curriculum reform may not have originated within the Corporation. However, they require the Corporation's approval before they can be implemented. The Cowl staff firmly believes that decisions which affect the entire college community can not be made wisely by a body which excludes from its membership the voice of what is the most vital element in any college community — The Student Body.

During the past two years, this governing body has undergone a restructuring process which has gone almost unnoticed by the community at large. This restructure, to the members of the Corporation, appears wide-sweeping and considerate of the various elements within and without the college.

Recently, the Alumni Association of Providence College was granted the right to elect a member to the Corporation for a four year term. The formal reason for this concession was that "The Alumni Association constitutes the only organized off-campus constituency." Concurrent with this logic, it would seem that the Corporation would grant the a permanent representative seat as the major organized on-campus con• stituency. If, on the other hand, the reason for accepting an alumni delegete was a purely financial one, it would appear that the corporation is again insincere in its supposed desire to change. Once again, has the Corporation done a superb job of disguising economic shrewdness as a "desire'''' for meaningful reform ?

The Cowl can understand and appreciate the great effort which accompanies such change. However, in the interest of the college and of the student body, we must object to what is apparently an inequitable system. The Cowl wants to believe that the Corporation is sincere in its desire to reform.

In June of 1971, three vacancies shall occur on the Corporation. These positions may be filled by either administrators, faculty, alumni, stu• dents, benefactors of the college, or members from the civic community. Each of these groups, except the student body, already has representation on the Corporation. Therefore, the Cowl proposes that one of these three vacancies be filled by a student (senior), elected by the student body. This senior representative would have full voice and vote on the Corpo• ration. With this senior, the student body would also elect a junior who would act as an "ex officio" member of the Corporation. He would subsequently become the student body representative on the Corpo• ration, thus easing the transition from year to year. The two remaining vacancies may be filled by individuals from the above mentioned groups.

If this proposal is adopted, The Cowl feels that a momentous step will have been taken towards making Providence College the outstanding - institution that it has the potential to be. Although one student may not have a monumental effect on the destiny of the College, the Corporation must at last recognize the Student body as the vital element of the College that it truly is.
