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

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.

‘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.
