Students Legislature Approves
Constitutional Amendments
By SAM SCOTT
Constitutional Amendments V
and VI were introduced by Jo'hn
Scott (SP) at the March 8, Stu
dent Legislature meeting. The
amendments deal with a separa
tion of power between the execu
tive branch and the legislative
branch of the Student Government.
Amendment V allows the President
of the Student Government As
sociation to assume several new
duties and powers in addition to
those enumerated in Article III,
Section 6 of the Constitution.
Among these is the power to veto
acts of the Student Legislature,
provided he shall exercise such
power within ten school days after
the bill is placed in the executive
offiices. However, Amendment VI
stoles thait a presidential veto may
be overridden by a two-thirds (2|3)
majority of those Student Legisla
tors present. If passed, the amend
ments will act as a check and
balance system for the executive

A MANDATE, drafted and intro
duced by Gus Psomadakis (SP),
was read to the Student Legisla
ture on March 8, 1965. The Man
date voiced the opinion that there
is considerable question as to the
procedure involved in the formal
contracting of Andrew Dawes, the
Canadian violinist who performed
at the Charlolite Woman’s Club on
March 9, 1965. The Mandate went
on to state: "There is also con
siderable question, on the part of
these executive officers, as to the
legal role and responsibility of tihe
Director of the College Union in the
area of contraofcing entertainment
to be sponsored by the College
Union." The Student Legislature
officially directed the Student Af
fairs Commititee to conduct a full
invesltigation of the methods, roles
of individuals, and procedures in
volved in the contracting of An
drew Dawes. The findings of the
Student Affairs CommitJtee will be
reported to the Student Legislature

When You're In love
A LETTER with an enclosed re
solution was sent to Dr. Cone and
several other high administrative
officials by John Scott (SP) and
Gus Psomadakis (SP), co-authors
of the resolution. The resolution,
adopted by the Student Legislature
on February 22, 1965, recommend
ed a reduction in the Student Acti
vity Fee for night school students.
Due to the fact that the majority of
cultural and entertainment func
tions .sponsored by the college are
held during the day school hours
and are not generally accessible to
the night school students, the Stu
dent Legislature recommends to
the College Administration that the
Student Adtivi.ty Fee for night
school students be reduced from
$13.00 to $10.00 for the Fall Semes
ter (1965) and from $7.00 to $5.00
for the Spring Semester (1966). Be
fore a reduction of fees can be
made, however, it must be approv
ed by the (Allege Administration
and the Board of Trustees. As of
now, no official reply to the re
solution has been received.
DAN HUSTON was unanimously
voted Student Government Associa
tion Treasurer by the Student Leg
islature of March 8, 1965. The va
cancy in office was created by the
resignation of Sid Llewellyn. Dan,
a junior majoring in Business Ad
ministration, will complete the
term started by Sid.

Speak To YR(ers
The CbarloUte College Young Re
publican Club held its regular bi
monthly meeting on Monday night,
March 1. Mr. Alan Newcomb of
WBTV debated Mr. William Jack
son of the Charlolite College faculty
on the role of goveniment in the
economy of the United States.
Mr. Jackson stated, “A large role
for the federal government in the
United States economy is both
necessary and proper in the mid-
twentieth century.” Mr. Newcomb
took the opposite stand by saying
tbalt he felt Chat the government
interfered too much in private
enterprise.
The nest meeitiing will be held
Wednesday, night, March 17, in the
College Union building. Room 206
ait 8 p.m. Election of officers will
be held. All memtoers, old and new,
are urged to be present.

guilts that load to suffering in the
form of neuroses and other dis
eases involving the mind.
Too, it should be brought out that
the top authority in the world, the
widely traveled and renowned Dr. j
Kinsey found that coupres who had
pre-marital experience were con
vinced that pre-marital relations
actually strengthened their mar
riages.
In closing, I would like to say
that in reading biography written
by distinguished intellectuals one
very important criterion for eval
uating the life and work of noted
people was how early they had ex
perienced the love relationship. Ex
perience expedites maturity.
