Review the GRACS bylaws.

• GRACS Executive Committee is five people, three elected for Fall to Fall and two for Spring to Spring terms.

GRACS is an official UT registered student org. We need to keep this registration up-to-date. UT Student org. info: http://deanofstudents.utexas.edu/sald/studentorgs/
