    New Constitutional Drafting Committee
    (1960-03-30)
    "The scanty attendance at Monday evening's Community Meeting may be rationalized. The majority of the Community was perhaps persuaded that the Community Council's proposal, after ample or excessive discussion, would be adopted and a slate of nominees for the New Constitutional Drafting Committee subsequently prepared."
  • Item
    New Constitutional Revision Committee
    (1960-03-25)
    "On the agenda for the Community Meeting scheduled for Monday night is the establishment of a new Constitutional Revision Committee. It will be the responsibility of this body to review the work of last term's Committee and to draft a Constitution serving the long-range, deliberate interests of the majority of the Community. This draft will then be submitted to the Community for adoption, hopefully before June."

    Fluid Government Structure
    (1960-04-06)
    "More than one writer in Galley has recently pointed out the shaky nature of the Community's rather fluid governmental structure. It is hoped that a new or possibly two or more new, constitutions will remedy this. But that is not the worst of it. We simply cannot wait. There is pending right now an issue which will illuminate the cracks in the machinery of democratic self government at Bennington the issue of which may well be to deprive students of all freedom, making them subservient to the unfortunately all too efficient operations of a well-oiled faculty."
