The Student Legislature pass
ed the Honor Council Revision
bill with the necessary amend
ments last niht by a unanimous
voice vote.
By special orders the body
passed Ix-on Holt's (SP) bill in
structing the Flections Board to
conduct a campus wide referen
dum on the amendments to the
Student Constitution March 11.
These amendments, which
were incorporated into the.
Honor Council bill, will chang?
council jurisdiction so that all

Honor Code cases come before
a single Honor Council.
The body moved to return
Rosier Foushee's (SP) bills to re
vise the Student Council back
to the Ways and Means Commit
tee until action has been taken
on the Honor Council Revision
bill.
The wording of the Student
Council bill is directly related
to the type of Honor Council
being used, and so it was sug
gested to hold the bill until the
Honor Council revision had been
settled.
Speaking on the Honor Coun
cil bill, Kit Whitehurst, chair
man of the Women's Honor
Council, said the bill was "mov
ing too fast and expecting too
much."
She said that Sonny Hallford,
author of the bill, had consid
ered asking the Student Legis
lature to veto the section con
cerning the single council for
both men and women earlier
yesterday afternoon.
Asserting the jury was being
pushed into the background, she
claimed the students would not
know what they were voting for:
She said that she was very
worried that they would not be

ple whose cooperation was vital
in setting up the new judicial
system.

held certain personal reserva

Legislation
Georee Ragsdale. chairman of
the Men's Honor Council, yesterday
urged the student body to defeat
the proposed joint honor council
amendment.
The proposed constitutional change,
which would alter the present judic
ial jurisdiction into a joint council
system, must be approved by the
student body before it becomes law.
Ragsdale' criticism of the con
troversial bill came after the legisla
ture approved the proposal in a
session Thursday night.
The Honor Council chairman
t rmcd it the "frivilous whim of
idealistice reformers" . . . ." hasty
and ill conceived piece of legisla
tion." "The radicals have junked the
whole judicial establishment which
existed long before any of them
were born." he said "In place of
this, they have sought lo impose a
rather ridiculous substitute which
d'H"s not trtiarnntre the Justice
which the present system guarantees.
"The plan to mix men and women
i unwise .... we mast have two
councils , . . and justice for all."
ho concluded.
Ragsdale appealed to the student
body to take a "mote sober view
than taken by the proponents of
this bill." He mentioned the fact
that the only way the amendment

cerely believe that it could be
put into operation.
Urging caution, he said tha
bill would take a great deal of
work and it would be necessary
to "educate; educate all, man
and woman."
"I'm ready to fight for it," ha
said. Before it is over he stated
he hoped that Kit Whitehurst
and George Ragsdale, chairman
of the Men's Honor Council,
would join his side.
Gary Greer (SP) introduced a
bill which says that, 'The IFC
be directed by the President of
the Student Body through the
power hereby invested in him by
the Student Legislature, to set
the date of the formal 'rushing'
period at some convenient time
after the end of the fall semes
ter of each year."
The bill goes into effect im
mediately after its passage.
After Tog Sanders (UP") and
Al Lowenstein (guest) explain
ed the need of the Legislature
to concern itself with problems
related to the international stu
dent community, it passed an
appropriation of $250 to the Af
rican Medical Scholarship Trust
Fund.
The bill originally only called
for $125, but Gary Greer amend
ed the bill so that the figure
was doubled.
The Legislature passed bills
introduced by Pat Adams (SP)
to alter the composition of the
selections board for the Editor
of The Daily Tar Heel and to
limit an editorial candidate's
campaign expenses to $30.
Al Goldsmith's bill to give the
Senior Class $500 to be used in
the purchase of the class gift of
a trophy case for Woollen Gym
was passed.
Roger Foushee (SP) introduc
ed resolutions to ratify US Na
tional Students Association's
"policy on academic freedom"
and declaration of the student's
responsibilities and rights.

Top seeding for the Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament March
3-8 will be at stake tonight in puke Indoor Stadium when Carolina's
defending national cage champions and Duke's veteran Blue Devils
?lose out their regular season. Tipoff time is set for 8 o'clock.
A capacity crowd of 8,800 is assured for the traditional battle be
tween the ancient Big Four and ACC rivals. The two clubs come into
the contest bearing identical 10-3 records in conference competition
and the winner of this one will clinch the regular season title, thus
putting it in the supposedly weaker bracket of the tournament which
will decide the ACC's NCAA representative.

ed off Hal Bradley's veteran hard
wood club, 70-68 in three over
times. Carolina knocked off Mary
land, 66-59 in its last outing Satur
day. This is the rubber game in a
three-game series between Caro
lina, and Duke. The Tar Heels
clipped the Devils, 76-62 in the
semi-finals of the Dixie Classic,
but the Dukers came back with a
resounding 91-75 victory in Chapel
Hill during their winning streak.
The Tar Heels need a win to
night to assure them of at least
a breakeven mark with every team
in the conference. Their confer
ence losses have been to Duke,
Maryland and N.C. State. The Blue
Devils have lost to Maryland, South
Carolina and Virginia during the
regular season.
Allen Uncertain
The big question mark for the
Blue Devils tonight is senior guard
Bucky Allen, team's second lead
ing scorer with a 12.3 average. Al
len has missed Duke's last two en
j counters due to illness and his
status tonight is undetermined.
Should Allen be available, the
Devils will put five starters on
the floor who are hitting in the
double figures. Jim Newcome . eads
;the club with a 13.9 average, fol
lowed by Paul Schmidt (12.1). Bob
Vernon (12) and Bobby Joe Harris
j (10.7). If Allen is not ready he'll
jbe replaced by either Jack Boyd or
j Jerry Robertson.
Brennan Tops
Carolina will be paced by senior
forward Pete Brennan, whose 21.3
average and 269 rebound? gives
him the league lead in both de
partments and makes an almost
sure bet for All-American honors.
Right behind Brennan will be
driving Tommy Kearns who has a
15.5 average, good for' third place
in the ACC. Aside from these two
seniors, Frank McGuire will go
with either senior Bob Cunning-
jham (5.5) or sophomore Lee Shaf
fer (12.2) and sophomores Harvey

ook-X Removes Tax
On Bibles; Offers Refunds To Students
If you have recently purchased a
Holy Bible front the University
operated Bookcteria, you're in line
fur an l&ccnt refund on your total
purchase price of $".18.
That was revealed here Thurs
day upon receipt of an Attorney
General's ruling that the Bibles,
Uopite (he fact that they are text
books, are exempt from an 18-cent
Mate sales tax.
All Bibles Exempt
Book Stores Manager H. It.
Ritchie announced the ruling after
notification from the University
Administration that the Attorney
General's office in Raleigh had
termed all Bibles exempt from
the three per cent sales tax.
"The Attorney General's office
advised us that Bibles sold at the
Book-X are tax exempt," Ritchie
said.
Investigation
An investigation into alleged viol
ations of the state sales tax laws
was begun two weeks ago today
when The Daily Tar Heel ques
tioned the three-per cent levy on
Bibles sold through book stores
at the University.
At the time. The Daily Tar
Heel based a story on exemptions
listed in "The Sales and Use Tax
Report," an official state docu
ment which excludes, among
other thing, fertilizer, coffins and
Bibles from the sales tax.
With his announcement today,
Ritchie said any student who pur
chased a Bible at the Booketeria
and wants the 18-cent refund
should bring the Bible to the book
store.
Honor System Basis
Refunds will be made on an
"honor system basis" each stu
dent is "on his honor" to sign
for the refund only when he has
purchased a Bible and the tax
paid to the state by the Booketer
ia will later be recalled, Ritchie
said.
However, he noted, if requests
for refund surpass the amount
paid in tax to the Department of
Revenue it will become necessary
for the Booketeria to check rolls
in religion courses to determine
who should receive the kickbacks.
Removes Tax
Thursday, when notice of the
exemption was received, Ritchie
instructed the book department
"to take all taxes off Bibles, as
such."
He said his office had had a
former ruling "that all text books
were taxable, and that is why we
taxed Bibles."
"However," he added, "since
this ruling, we will not tax any
further. I think this points out a
fine move on the part of The
Daily Tar Heel to examine things
on campus and help to keep all
things straight."
