Three brothers— Marty Glickman '80, Dave Brackman ''81, Tom Minick '82--were chosen to serve on this subcommittee by the Dean of Students and the SAC. This is a considerable achievement considering the fact that a total of only seven members were selected from a l i s t of campus-wide applicants. After three and one-half months of hard work, the final draft of the constitution has been prepared and approved by the SAC. Basically, the proposed constitution re-establishes a student Senate, composed of 25 to 35 representatives elected by housing districts. Student government, as such, has been defunct at Knox for the past decade, and Phi Gam committee members feel very strongly that this reform is essential to encourage and facilitate more student participation in the formulation of College policy.
