olons May OK Shake-Up Plan

Any revision plan passed now :uld become effective in the iring. 1951. The legislators will I we a choice between the muti- ' ted Blue Key “Little Hoover" j »mmission proposals and Bill ray’s revision plan.
Deletion last week of the mem--rship-siasliing clause in the Blue "ion leaves only minor changes |
to be passed on. Adoption of the Blue Key proposals would make the ASSC secretary’s position appointive md would take away her vote, it would remove the vice-president as so: ial chairman and make that position appointive. The plan also would set up a coordination committee for student activities.
Approval of the Gray amendments would mean sweeping changes in the executive department. The president would no longer serve as chairman of the Senate, but would become the head
of a cabinet, which could assist him in his executive duties.
The Senate would choose its own chairman, a plan which Gray says would effect greater harmony.
The president would be given veto power, requiring a two-thirds vote to override. He also would be able to introduce legislation, something which he now has to leave to his party men.
