IVORTH CAROLIl\A STUDENT LEGISLATURE WILL MEET IN RALEIGH ON DECEMRER 1 On Thursday night, Decem ber 1, North Carolina college students will take over the Capi tol building and will conduct a mock “legislature” in its House and Senate chambers for the re maining two days of the week. The student legislature is con ducted just as the regular North Carolina Assembly is carried out, sometimes with more ac curate form and better debating than is heard by the actual Sen ators and Representatives. Mere dith is one of the schools that is most active in the legislature, presenting bills and sending delegates who are chosen by the Student League of Women Voters and voted upon by the student body. The State Student Legislature had its beginning in 1936 when members of the Pi Kappa Delta forensic fraternity at State Col lege sponsored the first assembly. At that time the Legislature was little more than an oratorical so ciety. Since then the body has grown, though not without diffi culties, and sometimes was even striving for mere existence. Per haps the most eventful meas ure was the admission of Negro delegates into the Assembly. This change came as a result of the Glenn Resolution to admit Negro delegates, which after much controversy was victori ous. The Legislature in its pres ent form includes most of the colleges of North Carolina send ing proportionate representa tives to the House of Repre sentatives and an equal number, three from each school, of Sena tors. Last year the Legislature was composed of 119 delegates and other alternates and observers and it is expected that a larger number will convene this year at the early December meeting. Meredith has always had mem bers in the Interim Council of the Legislature which makes ar rangements for the carrying out of the sessions. Girls who have held this position in the past are Fran Thompson who was secre tary-treasurer and Elsie Corbett. At present Emily Pool is on the WILNONT CLEANERS 3015 Hillsboro Street DEPENDABLE DRY CLEANING Prompt Courteous Service Dial 2-2071 Interim Council which is making preparations for the forthcoming Legislature. In addition to being on the council Meredith girls have held offices in the House and Senate. Last year Elsie Corbett was Recording Clerk of the Senate and Emily Pool was Reading Clerk of the Senate. This year’s Legislature promises to be one of interest both from the standpoint of the Student Representation, and also because of the varied agenda of bills to be considered. There will be labor bills, segregation bills, social bills and election bills. The session opens Thurs day night, December 1, with an address by Governor Scott and the election of the officers for the Interim Council and for the House and Senate. Observers are welcome in the balconies to view the Legislature of tomor row in action. Meredith person nel might also remember the boost it will give your Senators and Representatives to see you at the Capitol, interested in what they are trying to do in repre senting you.

MORRISETTE ESSO SERVICE 2812 Hillsboro Street Raleigh, N. C. PHONE 9241 o ‘Our Care Saves Wear” Although the Colton English Club has not been in the public notice very much yet, we have been functioning, nevertheless. Our general theme for the year is “The Relation of Literature to the Arts,” which includes such topics as opera, folk ballads, choral reading, sculpture, and other such related topics. So far the programs have been well re ceived by a large number of girls. The December meeting is to be something of a high light of the year because at this time we will receive the sophomores who show special interest in English into the club. We receive new members from the sophomore class each year in this way. In honor of these sophomore mem bers we are having a social hour after the meeting in December. A.A.
