Council Meets Tonight to Fix Key's Charter

Special Public Council Meeting Takes Up Plans to Overhand Membership, Voting in Key

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The undivided attention of the Council will be turned onto the question of the Crimson Key, in a special public meeting at 7:15 p.m. tonight in the Leverett House Junior Common Room.

The Key's constitution is due for some major revisions, but exactly what will be revised, and how, is the subject under discussion tonight.

Proposed Changes

The Cabinet of the Key, after several months of discussion with members of the Council and others, has come up with a proposed new charter.

The main trouble with the Key constitution as it stands now is that its Executive Board is composed of representatives from extra-curricular organizations, athletic committee, etc. to the extent of 37 members. This group is divided in its interests and, in most cases, unable or unwilling to do much of the every-day practical work of the Key.

"Candidates"

For this reason much of the meeting of visiting teams and so fourth has been done by a group of so-called "candidates" who are not provided for by the constitution.

The major proposition, therefore, by the Key is that these working members be increased to 32 to balance a reduced Representative Body, and given equal vote. The Cabinet, in line with increased efficiency, would be reduced from nine to seven members.
