KENNEDY ! I i rax Says Vote Ought Pick SSL Agents The State Student Legisla-ture drew fire yesterday from Univers ity Party Chairman Harry Brax ton, who called for either aboli tion or popular election of UNC's delegation to the mock assembly. Following on the heels of state wide criticism of the students' ac tion in passing bills favoring legal ized prostitution and inter-racial marriages, Braxton predicted the possibility of UP-sponsored legis lation aimed at revamping the method of choosing SSL delegates. He predicted that the UP might sponsor a bill "either to stop send ing UXC delegates to the SSL or to have representatives elected by the student body." Braxton said he did not think that "students should be sent from this campus who do not represent clearly the campus views and are not chosen by the student body." "These people (the SSL dele gates) are chosen by a small group and merely reflect their own persoal opinions," he said. "However, they are publicized across the state as giving the opin ions of the student body as a whole." - ' Rraxton. who said he was not TIOT EMS m Hits Method Of S : . . . 1 1 T4 t I lJ LJ LJ A 11 ji ry . 7XhW $ t SmlY ' - UNC GERMAN TABLE FORMED One of the several UNC activities aimed at closer association, of foreign students and teachers with their American hosts is the "German Table," above, where speakers of German of all nationalities are welcome.

The bill was passed by the Student Legislature October 31. Evans said his delay in approv ing the bill resulted from his at tempts to meet with various stu-j dents in an effort to resolve dif ferences of opinion on the proper tate of the legislation. "I have witheld my signature from the bill in an effort to meet with both parties and everyone who was concerned to get the facts." he said. The discussion has ranged around precedent and moral obligation. Evans summed up the history of the warmly-contested bill as follows: is important that this not be con sidered as a precedent. "The Legislature is a free agent in things of this sort and must in vestigate the validity of each situa tion and act on them in an indivi dual manners."
