Student Legislature Has
Many Functions At UNC
By Walt Dear
Last night, over 40 students met
in the Di Hall, third floor" New
West, for a weekly meeting of
the Student Legislature.
Members of the Legislature,
who represent the student body,
were elected twice a year, in the
fall and spring, in town arid dorm
itory districts.
The Legislature is all powerful.
It. handles student fees, allocating
money to different student organ
izations. It can override a presi
"dential "veto arid impeach any
campus elected official.
Through its committees, the
Legislature can investigate stu
dents, organizations and problems
affecting students. A committee
report is given to the Solons and
then, if needed, a resolution or
bill is enacted.
In the last few years, the Uni
versity Party has dominated seats
on the Legislature because of its
ability to get out a large . town
vote each J all. The Student Party
has complained about the UP-
dominated legislatures, charging
the UP as being a "do-nothnig
majority party. SP members feel
the UP doesn't introduce any bills
The UP counters that they are so

Light Ballot
Wants
By Vardy Buckalew
Seventy-nine students voted to
day in DTH Editor Glenn Harden's
special election, 55-24 in favor of
a tabloid size Daily Tar Heel. The
election came out in favor of the
tabloid although the ballot stated
erroneously that the standard-
size newspaper would be daily.
The question of the size of the
Daily Tar Heel has been kicked
around ever since the Publications
Board' voted on Tuesday to re
turn the paper to its original size.
This action was prompted by an
increase in the expected size of
enrollment, and pending an addi
tional appropriation of $4,000 from
the Student Legislature.
Miss Harden has received sev
eral interesting comments from
students on the state of the Tar
Heel in general.
One aspiring poet wrote the
following:
'It isn't the size,
It isn't the space,
It's that damn staff
That's losing face.".
The poem was signed, "Lord
Byron."
. One student took a crack at the
Daily Tar Heel circulation depart
ment by saying, "I have never
received a DTH."
Frank Allston signed his ballot,
"Chairman of the misinformed
Publications Board." .
Another student feels that the
whole thing is useless and we
should all give up in despair by
saying, "I would rather not see
any newspaper published. It
isn't worth it."

Ground breaking ceremonies
were held yesterday morning for
the final unit of the University's
gigantic medical center now un
der construction. This unit will
be the Gravely Sanatorium, a 100
bed chest disease unit. It will be
named after the man whose ef
forts were largely responsible for
the promotion of the unit, L. Lee
Gravely, chairman of . the Board
of Directors of the North Carolina
Sanatoria.
The ceremony, - held, u n d e r
cloudless skies and in the shadow
of the other parts of the medical
center now nearing completion,
was opened by an invocation
from the Rev. W. M. Howard, Jr.,
pastor of the University Method
ist Church. Carl C. Council, chair
man of the Hospital Building
Committee presided.
After, the invocation David S.
Coltrane, assistant director of the
budget, related the difficulties
that were encountered in secur
ing the money for the sanatorium.
It is being built at a cost of ap
proximately $1 million.
William D. Carmichael, vice
president and controller of the
University then presented the
deed to Gravely for the 5 acre
tract on which the unit is being
built. Dr. H. S. Willis, superin
tendent of the North Carolina
Tuberculosis Sanatoria, dedicated
the sanatorium to the unceasing
efforts.tf Mr. Gravely and to the
inspiration which he received
from his late wife, who fought
a losing battle against tuberculo
sis for ten years..
Gravely, himself in bad health
from his long years of work, ac
cepted the dedication in an hum
ble sense and said, T regard this
as the greatest honor that has
ever come to me or mine."
The Honorable W. Kerr Scott,
governor of North Carolina made
a speech on behalf of the people
of North Carolina, for whom the
service of the Sanitorium is dedi
cated! He also paid tribute to the
aid which was given! to the state

The Student Legislature passed
a budget bill by a vote of 24-7
last night but the bill was called
unconstitutional by Attorney
General Bob Evans in an un
official opinion shortly after the
Gene Cook, SP . legislator, in
troduced a motion to rescind the
budget in a move to strike out a
stipulation witn tne $4uuu uany
Tar Heel appropriation that the
paper go standard.
The solons bickered over an
hour on whether to leave the
stipulation in the budget bill. A
majority .vote making the pro
vision stick settled the issue.
- Editor Glenn Harden, Publica
tions Chairman Frank Allston,
and other students took the stand
on the hotlv debated Question.
; , The center of. controversy was
the stipulation in the budget
committee's request ' that the
$4000 be used solely on convert
ing the present paper to a stan
dard size. Z -
Ben James, UP legislator re
placing Don Carroll, moved to de
lete the section in nuestinn -
saying, "the Student . Legislature
does not dictate, precisely what a
sum of money should go for."

favor of including the stipulating

our money. I can see- no reason
why we should put it down that
bottomless pit . . ,
All five student members of the
Publications Board were at the
meeting. r! ; v :
Editor Glenn Harden, in speak
ing against the stipulation, asked
the legislature "not to put the
Daily Tar. Heel in a position
where it will have to xnake dis
astrous cuts in the. ipririg. In re
ply to a question by Bob, Gorham,
Miss Harden declared "We will
give you the best paper possible
for your money." .
Paul Barwick, columnist, came
out for a . standard size paper,
but did not favor the stipulating
clause.1 "Give ' the money to ' the
Publications Board and let them
stipulate as they see fit," Bar
wick said. r -
Harry Snook, another colum
nist, also advocated a standard
size over the tabloid form;
