Student cou nciI The Student Council held a meeting recently to discuss and decide upon the new amendmerits which the committee for the revision of the Tech constitution proposed. The first amendment discussed was the one on raising the student activity fee to $20.00. This would mean an additional $5.00 a semester. The main reasons for this is so that there can be more big name entertainment brought .into Butte .sponsored by the Associated Students of Montana Tech and so that there can be more dances with live music sponsored in the Student Union Building. Associated students of Western Montana College in Dillon and Carroll College in Helena have discussed with the Associated Students of Montana Tech a plan for jointly sponsoring a big - name entertainer in the spr.ing at the Civic Center in Butte. Other minor changes had to be made in the constitution such as changing the title and all terms which refer to the School of Mines to read Montana Tech. Most of the other changes which are proposed' are simply to further clarify the document. The revisions are 'being proposed to avoid a chance of the constitution being misinterpreted. It was decided by the council that an election to vote on these amendments will be held on January 24. Each amendment will be voted on separately. It will take two thirds of the students voting to vote "yes" on any amendment before it can be passed.
