o Tabled Motion
 Motion to amend Article I, Section i, Subsection 2 of the
Constitution to read as follows
 Hall councils shall be made up of six (6) elected officers.
However, in the case of Letts-Clark-Roper, because each of
the halls is completely separate of each other, each hall shall
be granted one (1) General Assemblyman.
 Point of Information
 The reason Clark and Roper don’t have specific
representation is because they were new halls.
 Clark and Roper each have 59
 Question
 What happens for elections? What if Letts wins all 6
positions?
 Point of Information
 Wouldn’t Tenley have to have a similar rule?
 Point of Information
 Could we look at this another way? Maybe give Clark and
Roper residents access to Letts hall? We shouldn’t push
people out of the elections because they aren’t from other
halls
 Motion to move this to the Advocacy Roundtable
 Seconded, passed
