Special Standing Rules

(These rules were adopted in the first session.)

. The chair shall see that the agenda is followed as

closely as possible.

. Resolutions of each floor committee shall be priori-

. tized by number and shall normally be presented in
the numerical sequence published in Today’s
Business.

. Each member of the convention, when recognized

. by the chair, shall state his name. He shall also
state the name of his District or of the administrative
unit (board, faculty) he represents.

. The 2-minute rule shall apply for all who speak from

the floor.
_ While any voting delegate may call-the question at

MINUTES OF THE CONVENTION 61

any time, after every 30 minutes of debate on any
one motion there shall be an automatic call of the
question by the chair.

_ Instead of only a voice vote on motions before the

convention, the chair shall ordinarily also call for
the raising of the right hand.

_ If a substitute motion is offered, the convention

shall first decide by majority vote whether or not to
consider the substitute. If the decision is in the
affirmative and the substitute motion is adopted,
the original motion falls; if the substitute motion
does not receive favorable action either to consider
or to adopt, the original motion is again before the
house. (This is the so-called “Behnken rule” for
dealing with substitute motions.)

. Questions of privilege shall be addressed in writing

to.the chair, or its appointee, instead of consuming
convention time.

_ Inthe sessions of the last 2 days the President shall

havethe privilege of calling up for action resolutions
which in his judgment must be acted upon by the
convention before adjournment.

Resolutions prepared by the floor committees which
are not acted upon by the convention before ad-
journment die. The subject matter may be rein-
troduced at the next convention by means of an
overture. ;
Minutes shall be distributed every morning in
Today’s Business. The first item of business in the
afternoon session shall be the formal approval of
these minutes. However, at that time only correc-
tions involving convention action shall be offered
from the floor for consideration. Simple editorial
corrections involving, for example, misspelling of
names and faulty titles and references shall be
submitted in writing to the Secretary for incorpora-
tion in the minutes after verification. (This standing
rule was introduced during the Milwaukee conven-
tion and has been in use since.)

The preface, preamble, and whereas sections shall
be considered an integral part of the resolution or
overture, and as such subject to the same serious
consideration and adoption in all its parts as the
main motion itself. . ,
Unless covered by these standing rules of the
convention, parliamentary procedure shall be
governed by Roberts Rules of Order, newly revised
(1970 edition).
