For Thi It rut: News: ORVILLE CAMPBELL Sports: FRED CAZEL CONSTITUTION Ratification On Thursday At the bottom of the front page this morning is an impor tant document. Last spring the campus vot ers approved a constitution for a riew student government body to be known as the student legis lature. After many wrangles and false starts, the legislature, got under way this past fall. But an antique, impractical constitu tion made the organization top- for upkeep, new equipment, and salary increments, was, of nth in o more than an WSU4Jl, nv"o empty promise. TViotq was. nn dollars and A 11VA V cents promise of an increased ap propriation. Naturally it is political strat egy to palm off as many general izations as possible on an unsus pecting public, to shoot out a statement like "adequate sup port" arid cover it up with some other platform plank. Mr. Maxwell's speech would have been much more interest ing and a much better vote-get- nOHIZQNTAL Answer to Prerlsss Pssla 15 He cccspcsed heavy and clumsy, and a com-terjf he had defined "ade mittee was put to work to draw up a new constitution that would give the University a balanced, democratic student group to take care of the legislative duties. The result of the deliberations by the committee and the legis lature is shown on page one. The committee submitted their draft to the legislature, and after much criticism, the document printed on ihe f rorit was passed. The Daily Tar Heel is pub lishing the constitution out of courtesy to the Student council quate." We daresay each and every one of the .ten gubernatorial candi dates would declare his support for adequate support of the Uni versity. Candidates were offering such a platform when the annual ap propriation was only $5,000.
