10        Whereas: The duties of each student government official have increased.

11                   

12        Whereas: The current stipends were put in place when the ASLCSC Constitution            

13                        was ratified January 28, 1997.

14                       

15        Whereas:  Requiring a Constitutional Amendment to increase or decrease stipend

16                         amounts could force current members of the ASLCSC running for

17                         ASLCSC Governmental positions to abstain and thus fail the

18                         Resolution and make increases or decreases in stipend amounts nearly

19                         impossible.

20       

21        Whereas: The ASLCSC does not wish to take the student out of the decision

22                        process that would increase or decrease stipends.

23                        

24        THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED BY THE ASLCSC SENATE:

25       

26        Section 1: Article VII be removed from the ASLCSC Constitution.

40        Section 3: Any future proposed By-Law amendment that would increase or

41                        decrease ASLCSC stipend amounts made public in the school

42                         newspaper at least 3 weeks before a vote could be taken in the

43                         ASLCSC Senate, so as to allow the students time to voice their

44                         opinions.                                               

45       

46        Section 4: This resolution will pass upon a two-thirds (2/3) vote of the
