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

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.
