Passed
enate
A resolution to dissolve the
Coed Senate passed the Senate ;
Tuesday night ; with" several abs
tentions but no unfavorable votes.
The, Senate's consideration-" of
moves to disband the organiza
tion, formerly the women's gov
erning body, was initiated by a
resolution introduced last week
by Ruth Conner, president of
Kenan Dormitory. The act which
passed the Senate was. a,, substi
tute resolution introduced by
x Pellen Speck, chairman of women
advisors in the fall Orientation
"program and a member, of. Coed
' Senate. . v v
'-for the establishment of a Wo
men's Residence Council. The pro
posed Council would be made up
,of the presidents of each women's
dormitory and, the house mana
gers of each sorority house, plus
one additional representative from
the dormitories. The Council
would handle problems of wo
men's rules, dormitories and inter-
' dormitory . affairs, and would
.elect a chairman of women's
orientation,
The chairman of the Council
would be elected from and by
the entire, coed population in. a
spring election. '
The resolution for the aboli
tion of Senate will probably be
introduced in the Student Leg
islature tonight through the
Chairman " of the Coed Affairs
Committee. Action by ' the Leg
islature is necessary as dissolu
tion of the Senate requires amend
ment to the Student Constitution.
A second measure introduced
by Miss Speck and also passed
without dissenting vote was a bill
providing for the election of " a
yice-preaident in - the women's
dormitories.
"Though it is not unconstitu
tional, it is bad government" to
have a single official serving in
legislative, judicial and executive
capacities, Miss Speck proposed
that - the vice-president should
have the duty of presiding over
the dormitory councils.
The duties of the house pres
idents under the new plan will be
confined to executive and advi
sory functions and also to serve
in a legislative capacity through
their '- membership on the pro
posed Women's Residence Coun
cil. - ' " T ;; " , - ;; ;

Action Is First
Exercise Of Veto
In a dramatic move yesterday
afternoon,. President Henry Bow
ers vetoed the Fall Elections Bill
as amended by the legislature
last week It was his first exer
cise of his prerogative to reject
an act of the legislature.
There were three reasons for
his action, according to a lettep
sent yesterday evening to R. F.
"Bunny" Davis, speaker of the
Student Legislature.
(1) Under the dates set by the
bill, elections on November 15
and runoffs on November 20, the
Bi-Partisan Selections - Board
would be unable to submit its
nominations to the Elections
Board in the time required by
law.
(2) The Chairman of the Elec
tions Board would-be unable to
s"bmit her elections , report as re
quired by law.
(3) "It is necessary," Bowers
wrote, "that all nominees b
given more time than is allowed
under this bill in order that they
may conduct a proper campaign
and present their views to the
student body."
Bowers recommended that the
dates of the election and runoff
be set for November 20 and No
vember 29 respectively. These are
the dates suggested in the flec
tions Board's original schedule
which was amended by the legis
lature : last week to change the
dates to November 15 and 20.
In-4iis letter to Speaker Davis,
the president also urged that the
Legislature study the- elections
date situation and "make the
necessary changes so that fall
elections may be held at times
