requirement of stu dent body approval moore ex plained this change will not take any rights from the stu dents and will simplify arca dia's procedure the constitution itself which now includes measures approved by the students subsequent to its original publication in 1947 will still require the approval of the student body for amendments a four-fifths ma jority in arcadia will be necessary
