A six-member costitutional revi

vising and streamlining the student
body constitution, had its first meet

The meeting was just a prelimi

rest of this quarter and some of the
next to get a new document ready to
present to the Studnt Senate, said
Bob Hurley, a spokesman for the
commission.
In its Oct 29 meeting, the* Senate

“I want to go on record stating what

Dr. Griffith, at a Tuesday evening

The Georgia administration, while
in no position to take a stand on the is

with the Moratorium committee in an
effort to allow free thought and dissent
while maintaining the University's

There were some insturctors who

Tne Student Senate last night ref
used to endorse* either side of the Viet
nam moratorium controversy, but
urged independent thought and free
speech concerning the war.
In the same meeting, the Senate
requested that Gov. Claude Kirk of
Florida publicly and formally apolo
gize" for his reported statement con
cerning Georgia students being in
volved in the theft of $500 from the
Florida team s locker room at last
Saturday’s Georg ia-Florida football
game.
The proposal, made by Joe Belew.
was passed unanimously
JIM SHERIFF (Graduate School)
introduced a resolution asking that the
Student Government Association "let
the world know that we stand squarely
behind our elected president in his ef
forts to secure a just and lasting
peace " with a copy of the resolution to
be sent to President Nixon
Senators debated the question of
whether the Senate had the right to
decide either for or against morato
rium activities.
Sunny Dodson (Arts and Sciences)
said that the Senate had no right to
support either Nixon's policy or the
moratorium. Shi* said that the decision
was up to the individual and “com
pletely out of order for the Senate."
PAUL McBRIDE (Graduate) ques
tioned exactly what the president's pol
ices regarding a just and lasting peace
were He stated that he felt that sena
tors should not want to endorse "some
thing so fuzzy. "
In support of Sheriff's resolution.
Vickie Van Vleck (Education) said. "1
think that we need to support our presi
dent in something."
On a roll call vote, the resolution
was defeated with 17 for and 52 against
Another resolution encouraging "the
participation of the University com
munity in the programs sponsored by
the Moratorium Committee." was in
troduced by Barbara Bowen
(Education).
This proposal, which originated in
the Senate academic affairs commit
tee. received much of the same criti
cism as the previous resolution.
RITA POETTER (Arts and Sci
ences) proposed an amendment to
Miss Bowen's resolution deleting all
references to the* moratorium and sup
porting discussion and independent
thought on the war
