New Constitution

Today the College Republicans ratified various amendments to our constitution. If you are interested in running for office next year, there are some things you should know:

1. The position of Speakers' Bureau Director no longer exists, as Hillsdale stopped holding an annual Speakers' Bureau some years ago. The job of coordinating speakers is now under the Events Director.

2. The position of Publicity Coordinator has been installed in place of the Speakers' Bureau Director. This officer is responsible for "produc[ing] and hang[ing] posters for all College Republicans Events as directed by the Executive Board, coordinat[ing] all on-campus publicity efforts as directed by the Executive Board, including dorm canvassing and representing College Republicans at The Source." (Article IV Section 8)

3. The position of Historian has been split into two separate jobs, Historian and Registrar. The Registrar holds custody of the Constitution and other CR documents. (Paraphrased from Article IV Section 10).

4. Candidates for Chair and Vice-Chair must have a GPA of at least 3.0. Candidates for Treasurer and Secretary must have a GPA of at least 2.5. If you are interested in any of these positions, you must submit a transcript (available on WebAdvisor) to a CR advisor by Monday. If you need the CR advisors' names, email me lady_liberty_86@hotmail.com and I will provide these for you. You may also submit a transcript to me at that address.

5. If you are a current board member and wish to run again this year, for your current office or any other, you must have attended a majority of E-board meetings in each semester of the past year. If you are unsure of your standing in this regard, please speak with Jessica who has recorded attendance in our minutes.

Our elections are this Wednesday at 11:30 on the patio behind the old snack bar. In case of inclement weather, we will move the elections inside the snack bar. Lunch will be provided and the elections should not take long. If you want to come, please give your Student ID number to CRs at the Student Union kiosks on Monday. If we do not have your ID number, we cannot feed you. And pay $3 dues at the election.

Hope to see you there!
