Mid' Winters Weekend Will Be Festive Occasion
Eloii Bill Is I
To Get First
(consideration
The mock bill of the Elon Col
lege delegation to the 1965 Session
of the State Student Legislature will
be the first order of business when
the mock legislature convenes at
the Old Capitol in Raleigh next Fri
day morning.
Mike Herbert, head of the Elon
delegation, will present the bill
which would require four years of
physical education in the public
high schools of North Carolina in
the Senate, and C. V. May, a stu
dent senior in the junior class, will
speak for the bill in the House
They will be backed in both chanib-
ers by Delegates Linda Johnston*
also a candidate for recording sec
retary; Jesse Weaver, and GaT,
Campbell, and Alternates Gwen
Hancock, John Harris, Chippy Moore
and Jim Torrance.
Much work has gone into the
planning of the bill and because the
delegation had its bill ready so far
in advance of the other school dele
gations, that the SSL officers de
aided to let Elon present its bill
first.
In past years when an Elon dele
gation had a bill, it was usually so
far down on the agenda that time
did not permit its presentation on
the floor.
During the three day session, the
delegation will be staying at the
Sir Walter Raleigh Hotel. The com
ing week will be spent in final prep
aration for the Elon bill and the
study of other bills to be presented
by other colleges.
About forty colleges and universi
ties from North Carolina will be
represen/ed at the mock legislature
