Council Defers Election Until Bylaws Adopted
BY BOB EVANS
Staff Writer
The University Council decided Monday night it will not hold a new election of representatives until its bylaws are adopted.
Meanwhile, it will double its efforts to develop its bylaws, which will probably change the council’s composition and alter the present system of representation.
THE DECISION reversed an earlier mandate of the council’s executive committee that would have required new elections for schools in which the election process during the spring had been inadequate.
At its meeting in the University Commons, the council decided it would be unwise to hold new’ elections if representation would subsequently have to be changed.
In addition to its regualr monthly meetings, the council agreed to hold an additional meeting each month for deliberation solely on bylaws proposals.

“We’ve been notified by the Department of WTater and Power that we may face a power shortage before the end of this year,” President John R. Hubbard said Monday.
In a brief message to the University "Council, Hubbard said that departments should begin conserving power or the university may have to take emergency measures.
“We may have to choose between the options of operating four days for eight hours, or five days for six hours,” he told the council.
“Like Lyndon Johnson, I feel like going around and turning off the lights.”
Members declined, however, to set a deadline for adoption of the bylaws.
Peter Scolney. * co-chairman of the Student Caucus, said that if the council is to maintain credibility with the students, it should move quickly to approve the bylaws.
BUT PRESIDENT John R. Hubbard suggested the council give the bylaws line-by-line study before adoption because it will be what he called “one of the most important documents in the history of the university.”
The council agreed with Hubbard and provided that if bylaws are not adopted by the last day of fall semester classes, the pending proposals agreed upon by them w ill become part of the council's interim rules.
Interim rules were adopted three months ago. so the council could begin carrying out its responsibility to advise the president on university affairs.
WHILE BYLAWS matters have taken much of the council's time, it has also been considering issues of concern to the univeristy.
In June. Hubbard told the council he would depend on it for guidance on “broad is-
sues of importance to the university at large.”
The council has been w orking in several areas that Hubbard specifically mentioned, including tuition rates, affirmative-action policy. centennial campaign planning, and the future of student governance.
At the same time, a task force has been developing bylaws proposals, which are now being revised into a sixth working draft.
LAST WEEK the council began holding a series of informal conferences, each concerning a specific bylaws topic.
The council decided Monday to continue the conferences in the hope that differences over specific issues can be resolved before the proposals are considered by the full council.
Participants in the first conference on representation on the council generally agreed that the council should have no few er than 50 and no more than 126 members.
They also agreed council membership should by 509c faculty, and 259c students and 259c deans and staff.

ARE USC professors playing collegiate football or can these student-held faculty permits be attributed to a giant loophole in the Office of Parking Operations?
According to the office, only faculty, staff and certain students with physical handicaps are allowed faculty parking stickers.
However, the side street between Bovard Field and the Physical Education Building is jammed w ith cars w hose athlete-ow ners are by no means handicapped or faculty members.
One football player in an interview said his faculty parking permit “had nothing to do w ith me being a football player.”
Another athlete commented that many athletes
