Executive Committee of the Freshman Council be reinstated.
If the proposed amendment had passed, "all

President, Vice President, Treasurer, Secretary, and
Executive Liaison who shall comprise the Executive
Committee of Freshman Council." The President and
Vice President would be elected by the majority of the
members of the Council at their second meeting.
