That's a good point, John. Does anyone know any lawyers? I'm contacting Jed Wartman, the head of the Student Activities Office, for advice.<br><br>Please read through the Covenant, as well as the bylaws. We'll have to sign the Covenant too, but we can't make any changes to it. Also, keep in mind that we can change the bylaws - they just can't conflict with the Covenant.<br>

If anyone has a parent or friend that is a lawyer, I recommend that we<br>
ask them to comb through this document very carefully. A contract<br>
like this can make or break our organization. There can easily be<br>
some legalese in there that we don't agree with but don't understand<br>
enough to counter.<br>
