News and Views Of Student Council by Kim Bawden The newly elected officers of the ASSOCiatedStudents of Montana Tech Were installed in their offices at the Student Council meeting held May 10, 1972. John McCarthy is the new president; John Likarish vice president: Coleen Ward, secretary; Tad Dale, delegat~ A; Tom Hohn, delegate B; Mark Bossard, justice A; and Gary Munson, justice B. Tad Dale was selected to be the sergeant at arms for the council meetings, while Tom Hohn was selected as the parliamentarian. Among other business taken care of before the installation, was the acceptance of the final draft presented by the business office which will assume the handling of student funds for 1972-1973. For this service, the Student Council will pay the business office $600.00 per year. The constitutional amendment voted on in the MDay elections was passed with 214 votes for and only 13 against. , The golf team requested that $100.00 be taken from the baseball fund so that the team could attend a tournament. The Stdent Council approved this measure; furthermore, it appropriated the additional $32.50 from the general fund to make up the balance needed for the tournament. The next order of business was the banquet for out- . going Student Council officers. The banquet, held Monday, May 22, 1972, was held at the Acoma. Montana's proposed constitution was the next subject for discussion. A request that the Student Council urge the students at Tech to support the new constitution was revised so that the Council is only urging all students to read and consider the proposed constitution and to make an effort to vote on June 6. The M..Day election was contested by Wayne O'Brien. :rhe reasons for his contestation were that the polls were not opened during the hours stated in the Constitution, and that the polls were moved during the noon hour. The justices rules that these changes had no effect on the election.
