im Lock Haven State College Eve ^/MQ\. Wed. Oct. 13,1976 Twelve revisions proposed By PHILIP BURLINGAME News Editor Publicity has appeared in the Eagle Eye and on posters around campus in the past few weeks for a student referendum scheduled for October 19. Students will vote on whether or not to accept a package of revisions to the constitution of the Student Co-Operative Council: a pretty important decision when consideration is given to the fact that the SCC spends approximately $250,000 of student activity money and student owned funds every year. A list of recommended revisions have been posted on campus bulletin boards since late September but the actual proposed changes are somewhat masked by the reality that very few students have ever seen a copy of the SCC constitution. There are only 12 proposed revisions of article subsectioM listed on the posted recommendations. All of the recommendations were submitted by the SCC's Ad Hoc ("for that purpose" or temporary committee) Constitutional Revisions Committee and have been approved by the executive committee of the SCC. Perhaps the most functionally important proposed change is one that would specify a line of succession for executive committee officerselect. This would permanently eliminate last years election confusion when the presidentelect resigned before actually assuming his office. Nobody was sure who would replace Joe Eucalano as president when his term ran out, because the wording of the constitution was unclear and subject to misinterpretation. This revision would simply make the line of succession for officers apply equally to officers-elect. Another proposed revision would require executive committee candidates to obtain 200 student signatures on a petition before being eligible to run for office. A similar proposed would require senate candidates to obtain 50 signatures at least three days prior to the election.

The theme of the parade will be "Decades Past." Linda Kibbe, coordinator of the 1976 parade, expressed confidence about its success. "I think it will be a very nice parade. I'm very happy about the number of floats", stated Kibbe. The parade will start from the Keystone Vocational School in downtown Lock Haven at 11 am. From there it will proceed down Water Street to Jay Steet, come back up Main Street to Bellefonte, and then up Bellefonte to Spring Street. According to Kibbe, the parade should come through the Lock Haven State College campus at conf. on page 3 OCA plans additional student services By KEITH VERNON Staff Reporter The Off Campus Association (OCA), now in its second semester of existence, is attempting to assist and give a voice to Lock Haven State College students living off campus. The OCA, an SCC standing committee, assists off-campus students with problems unique to those not living in the dorms. The chairperson of the OCA, Jayne Bolduc, listed renters' rights, apartment pitfalls and the reputability of landlords as three of the most important issues tiat off-campus students ihould be informed about. All three of these issues are covered in the already completed housing booklet which the OCA plans to publish in the near future. "Too many students," said Bolduc, "are ignorant of their rights as renters. Also, most students have no way of knowing in advance which landlords they should try to avoid. The OCA will hopefully be able to educate current and future off-campus students in these and other areas." The OCA also hopes to assist non-dormers in the areas of nutrition and legal advice. "Not everybody knows how to plan their menu in order to get the nutrition they need, "stated Bolduc. "There have been cases in the past where people became sick because they weren't eating properly. Some people might say that eating properly just means staying out of the cafeteria. Nevertheless we plan to bring in speakers to educate off-campus students on what kind of things they should be eating." Other services that the OCA will try to provide are: public transportation to take students to Penn State and other places in the area, day care centers for students with children, a moving committee to assist students in moving heavy furniture, assistance in evacuation during floods, local business discounts and helpcon f. on page 4 page2 EAGLEEYE ^ • • Wed.

Irom page 1 election discrepencies the duties of the election committee would be expanded by the revisions. The election committee would be responsible for hecking every candidate to ensure that he is in good academic standing as determined by the Vice President of Academic Affairs and that he has paid his activity fee to become a general member of the SCC. Both of these requirements are strictly mandated by the present constitution but no mechanism presently exists for enforcement. The duties of the three of the seven officers in the SCC executive committee will also be changed if the referendum passes. The revisions would also require a V3 majority approval by the senate before the annual budget could be passed. Presently only a simple majority is required. Finally the revisions would change all uses of "his" or "chairman" to "his/her" and "chairperson" to remove all sexist stigmas and neuterize the constitution. An important footnote about these proposals is that they are only recommendations. Anj student who wishes to further revise the present constitution may submit ideas by attending an open sCC meeting to night at 7 pm in the PUB south lounge. All proposals submitted at that time will be debated and voted on by the SCC Senate. The final apporoved revisions will be offered to the student body for ratification on Tuesday, October 19. oca conf. Irom page 1 ing the off-campus students to have a voice in local government. Bolduc is urging all current and prospective off-campus students to get involved in the OCA. "It would be nice to see a lot of active members," said Bolduc, "those who would be involved in committees and would regularly attend OCA meetings. At the same time we'd also like to encourage those people who have a particular complaint, to come to the meetings without fearing any sort of obligation."
