Such a revision is necessary if Stetson students are to participate more fully in management of their own affairs. If this is to be achieved, then several revisions need to be made. The two most significant reforms, coi<2ern the executive committee membership and the monetary powers of the SGA. The key revision)— the executive committee membership will give "all" class presidents a vote in the SGA high- echelon. This executive committee presently includes five representatives who are Presidents of Liberal Arts, Business, and Music colleges, and the President of the Senior Class. The new revision, if and when it occurs, would allow each class president to have an equal vote in controversal matters.
