2. Its Election, Constitution And Workings
In order to overcome the objection of certain of the women of the college that, with only one College of Electors, the women on the executive would probably be placed there by the votes of the men representatives, the Executive intends placing before the students at the next special general meeting for their verdict, the scheme outlined as follows.
There shall be two Colleges of Electors, the Women's College and the General College.
| (a) | To elect both the officers and men committee members of the executive. |
| (b) | To consider the annual report and balance sheet before they are forwarded to the annual general meeting for adoption. |
| (c) | To consider, motions of no confidence in the whole or individual members of the executive. This does not limit a general meeting's powers in this respect. |
| (d) | To investigate and sanction the borrowing of monies on behalf of the Association. |
| (e) | To investigate and sanction the spending by the Executive of sums exceeding £25. |

Method of Electing the Executive.—Nominations for positions on the executive will be called for, as they are under the old system, and the iist of those nominated will be posted immediately nominations close. The right of individual students to nominate candidates is thus in no way interfered with. Club committees, who are the representatives of the students interested in the particular branch of College life, will then proceed to consider these nominations and advise their delegates what nominees they consider are best suited to hold the various offices on the executive.
Meetings are then held, first by the Women's College who proceed to discuss the qualifications of the various women nominees and then to elect the women committee members of the executive; and second by the General College who proceed in a similar manner to elect the others and men committee members.
If a club so desires it may bind its representative to vote for particular nominees but in the interests of a good executive it is advisable to inform the representative only of the committee's preference, otherwise unknown qualifications or detractions that a candidate may possess and which are made evident by a frank discussion of a candidate's qualifications will not be used to the greatest degree in the selection of the new committee.
Other Activities of College of Electors.—By having three meetings of this body, one in each session, it is hoped to keep clubs in touch with executive activities. It also provides a means for the executive to submit questions on matters on which they desire the opinion of representatives of the students of the College.
