This is intended to strenghthen the role of the student legislative council as a co-ordinating body where the interests of the various faculties will be better ser­ ved. The decentralization pro­ cess is strongly emphasized in the proposed constitution with regard to representative expressing the interests of the students who have elected them. At the same time the over-all policy of the association will be stronger. If the constitution is given second reading at today’s coun­ cil meeting it will be read for the third and final time at the following meeting one week from today. A referendum will then be required for adoption. One of the new features of this constitution will be the power invested in individual faculties to levy additional fees as re­ quired. This will eliminate the necessity of the various facul­ ties receiving a budget as dic­ tated by the general students association. Tuesday's UGEQ demonstration in Quebec City attracted 2,500 students from all six universities in the province. 2 / the georgian, January 26, 1968 CO OH, W T 6 D I ®rr id o n t*njw I F J HAD* 6£/N<4 H)6AK,AND Classified S^NTV, flW ili^, OR WOULDN'T OgSlR^D 5V AU m ness... $ want RATES: Classified advertising rates are o 75c for one insertion and $1.25 fpr the A aoloCR AROUND M£. <o u STRONG/I same insertion in two consecutive issues. o The word limit is twenty (20).
