Is Under Consideration
new plan of organization featuring better communication and
representation between students
and the student governing body
has been presented to the SGA for
consideration.
The new system, as proposed by
the SGA Organizations Committee,
would entail a Senate consisting
of two members from each of the

this committee to study the present organization and functioning
of the SGA and recommend and
changes that would better it in
any way.
The results of this study. were
reported Monday night by Pete
Prrlman, chairman of the Organizations Committee. His committee

reported that they had found the
present system outmoded and unrepresentative of the majority of
the students.
Perlman stated that his committee, and the other organizations
they had worked with, felt that

representatives to the SGA should
have a tangible group to be responsible to. This Is not true of
the present representative system.
