Function Continues
Under the statute the Senate will continue to function as it does now. Betinis’ amendment would have placed the legislative power in his hands while a convention met. Under the new law he will serve only as chairman.
The statute does not require a constitutional change to be put in effect and it will become a law if passed by the ASSC Executive Cabinet next week.
However, Betinis said he would consider the statute with his cabinet and that he hoped to make a few changes in it to make it more workable. It would then be sent back to the Senate for approval.

not the committee had the power to make a statute out of an amendment. After considerable time spent in debate, the Senate decided it did.
Before the Senate voted, Betinis pointed out that he felt that the addition of the 15 organizations might effect the balance between Row and non-Row representation in student government.
The Row seemed to have more representation under the statute, he said.
He also questioned the advisability of the clause which says the purpose of the convention would be to consider recommendations from the subcommittee of the University Ad Hoc Committee concerning constitutional changes
