William A. Groll '80, chairman of a convention subcommittee to study student governments at other schools, said establishment of minimum restrictions on voter turnout is "unprecedented."
Members of the Constitutional Convention debated last night the number of students who must vote to ratify the proposed student assembly before the assembly can consider itself the legitimate voice of student opinion.
A motion to stipulate that the constitution be ratified by a canvass of three-fifths of undergraduates, with two-thirds of those voting approving, was postponed until convention delegates could talk to students about the issue.
The main objection many students have with the rough draft of the constitution released this week is the low limit on voter turnout in the draft, convention members said last night.
Convention delegates plan to hold meetings in every House in the next two weeks to inform students about the convention's aims and to allow them to read and comment on the rough draft of the constitution.
