The Cadre, Feb. 3, I976, Page 2 dove 'mocroo "editorial" ¥ ‘ Sunday's Council meeting passed what is surely the most important item to come up before it this year, a ' proposal to totally re-stru— cture the Student Union. The proposal which passed at Council is surely a laud— able one for it should make Council more academically n Di‘re .N’eéd ofMajor Changes." " oriented and streamline the { Executive. . Unfortunately though, it so typically was not a tho— rough examination of changes which need to be made in the constitution. As it stands ' the Constitution is a self— contradictory, wordy, at times almost laughable piece of contraining dogma. It contains within it 7 such brilliant sentences as "Council elections shall be held on the last Wednesday in February. The exact date to be decided by Council in December". Exactly why the 'Council has to decide which day the last Wednesday in February is, I'm not Sure; maybe instead we could dele— gate an official calendar ' watcher. Another example: The Personnel Board is in all cases subject to Council approval" however later on it says that"only the Perso— Lost Last Thursday evening .

Aside from self—contra- diction such as these it ma— nages to concern itself with such vital matters as the Order of Agenda of the Gen— eral Meetings and the number of bank accounts which the Student Union will have. It 'further cites what will hap-g pen at meetings of the vari—. ous committees of the Stud- ent Union and who shall be present. In order to avoid . this mOSt committees don't have meetings, they rather have infomal rap sessions. More importantly, because the Constitution is such a uselessly wordy document it is unreadable by the major— ity of students. It should not be moe than a few 4 es- sential — pages written in time. Those Of us who are hockey players or basket- ball players and don't like belonging to me were removed getting in to the number one social event of the year which just happened to be a ball held on the night which is usually reserved for tearing had a smashing good time. Those of us who tried to eat at the cafete—, ria anytime nearly dropped our cookies and those of us who enjoy paying two doll— ars on a Saturday night to listen to.a couple of amp- lifiers making horrifying noises probably got smashed. I don’t think that the few of us who helped in the preparation Can be blamed but those of us who didn't but could have aren't en- tirelt to blame either.. Could it possibly be the , fault of those who make the ~rules and dish them out(and incidently, love money). . Hmmm? Many of us who saw old friends and/or new fri- ends and/or got totally inebriated at home did have a pretty good time. Cheers! clear consise English. What purpose does it have if most students will refuse to read it? Or is that why it is so wordy? ‘ g All that needs to.be7in it are the duties of the Executive, the duties of the Council(s), and their manner of election, plus a,method for ammending the Constitu- tion. Anything else is more properly contained in by— -laws of Council. These COuld be made easier to change, for example by two—thirds vote of Council or by a gen- eral meeting without a lower quorum. ' By doing so, not only would we make the Constitu— tion more workable but also gain a chance of having it perhaps actually read by a significant percentage of students, or, at any rate, of Councillors.
