Wee Solons Pass Bill Favoring Dorm Visiting Also Change Date Of Spring Voting; Amendment OK'd By Chuck Hauser The Student Legislature last night overwhelmingly passed a resolution favoring the granting of visiting privileges in men's dormitory social rooms to coeds, after breezing through a consti tutional amendment and chang ing the date of spring elections. The resolution, introduced by Ben James, inspired more discus sion than the other two bills, but passed almost unanimously. There were only two dissenting votes. There was only one dissenting vote against Election Board Chair man Julian Mason's bill to change the date of the spring general election from Thursday, April 12, to Wednesday, April 11. The reason for the switch was the un availibility of Gerrard Hall as a polling place on the 12th. The latest elections law requires Ger rard to be used. The constitutional amendment, which passed unanimously, pro vides for three members of the Student Council to be elected during fall elections, rather than elect all nine members of the highest campus court in the spring. James' resolution read: "Whereas: Fraternities are al lowed to . have unchaprroned women students in their houses, and "Whereas: A similar visiting agreement could easily be applied to dormitory social rooms . . . "Therefore: . . . The Legislature goes on record as favoring the granting of permission to the women students to visit dormi tory social rooms, on the basis of a visiting agreement similar to that now in effect in fraternities." Author James, Mason and Jim Lamm were named by Speaker Herb Mitchell as a committee to take copies of the resolution to administration authorities and "explain it in the proper manner." In other business, the Legisla ture approved the presidential appointment of Charlie Brewer to replace Sol Kimerling on the Student Entertainment Commit tee, and heard Coed Senate Speaker Kash Davis explain that the Women's Association fund of approximately $2,400 is collected yearly in a separate coed fee from the block fee, and should not be considered a surplus. She said there was some confusion about coed finances resulting from an incorrect statement m The Daily Tar Heel last week. The Legislature session was the last until after elections, when legislator Bunny Davis, unoppos ed in his vice presidential race, replaces Mitchell as speaker.
