Group to Consider Joint Sponsorship With Other Schools By Barron Mills The Student Legislature last night steam-rolled through an ammendment to refer to a com mittee the possibilities of spon- apitoi. .However tins year a letter from a faculty member of State col lege to Bob Morrison, speaker of the Phi Assembly, stated that there was not need for such an assembly this year and therefore the college would not sponsor it. Wallace Gives Reason Legislator Jimmy Wallace stated that this decision was reached by the State college group because last year the Student State Legislature voted to include representatives from Negro colleges in the state against the wish of some of its State College delegates. The passed ammendment for spon soring the State Student Legislature included that the committee would make investigation of all possibilities of sponsoring the legislature jointly with several nearby Universities so that there would be less dissention be tween this university and State Col lege. Wallace stated that President Graham suggested the joint sponsor ship. ' Committee' Will Plan The investigating committee will al so allot the number of delegates each university may send, make arrange ments wltn the administration, and send letters to the various schools. The original bill for the conference called for representative delegates from the various student organiza tions on campus. Don Shropshire stated that the delegates should not be selected in this manner since the main purpose of an assembly of this type was mainly for "actual participa tion in parliamentary procedure and that every organization on campus was not interested in this. He advocated that it should be up to the Debate Council to select the delegates as in former years. Shropshire's statement brought a howl from many of the legislators and his attempt to get the selection in the hands of the Debate council was de feated. Winston Broadfoot, chairman of the rules committee, proposed an addi tion to the by-laws of the legislature. His proposal, a statement also in the constitution, was to require all legis lators to be a resident of the district from which they were elected. It was pointed out that there are now eight delegates in the legislature who do not live in the districts from which they were elected. The proposal was adop ted.
