PROPOSED NEW CONSTITUTION 305 The important proposed changes in the Constitution can be summarized briefly as follows : Article I provides for the change of name. Article II covers the addition of the television art to the scope of the Society. Article III now covers "Meetings," formerly covered by Article VI, and is reworded to be more explicit. Article IV has been reworded for clarity. Article V assigns the executive duties of the President in his absence to the Executive Vice-President, instead of to the PastPresident, as is now the case, and has been further reworded for clarity. Article VI is new and defines "Sections." Article VII provides for twelve elected Governors, allowing the Atlantic Coast, Central, and Pacific Coast Sections each to be represented by four elected Governors. Previously, representation of the Central Section was not assured. Article VIII clarifies former Article VII and deals with amendment procedures. The work of the Committee on the revision of the Bylaws is not as yet complete; substantial progress has been made, however, and it is expected that the proposed revision will be printed as amendments to the Bylaws in the issue of the JOURNAL immediately preceding the 67th Semiannual Convention to be held at the Drake Hotel in Chicago, April 24-28, 1950, at which meeting formal action may then be taken on their proposals. It is suggested that all voting members who find it possible to attend the 66th Convention in Hollywood from October 10 to October 14 should do so and should be on hand for the Business Meeting at which these changes will be discussed.
