MARTHA PARSHLEY Yes terday morning Martha Parshley was tapped by Valkyries, wom en's highest honorary organiza tion at Carolina. Through a mix up on the part of The Daily Tar Heel, another coed's picture was substituted for hers. The above picture is of Miss Parshley. The Student Legislature voted last nijlit to table an amendment to the Honor Council revision, bill which stated, "alleged honor violations which shall arise from a case be ing tried in the Women's Council shall remain in this coun cil"'! The bill, which was introduced by Al C.oldsmith (UP) and Pat Adams (SP). was to give clarification on cases where women violated the Honor Code during a social case trial. Goldsmith made the motion to table the bill indefinite ly. This action meant that the amendment could be taken off the table any time alter this meeting. C.oldsmith's motion came after Jerry Oppenheimer (UP) questioned the legality of the amendment to the bill. Oppen- j heimer argued that the amend-; ment was actually a matter of pro- cedure to be determined by the procedure committee. j "'I don't think there are more ; than three people who understand the question," he commented. Leo Wardrup (UF) charged that the amendment was 'strategically placed for-a political purpose." He claimed that the amendment would sway the women voters. Adams said that it was not right to charge expediency and that some Legislators were using every means possible against the amend- Student Body President Sonny vloiauons . . - .. . . . rasps in Kvans told tne Legislators to charge the move as politically ex pedient if they liked, but that the real reason behind the amendment was for clarification. He said that if the bill was tabled then the campus would re main confused. Goldsmith said that questions had arisen which he did not fore see when writing the amendment. He explained that the meeting had reached "a legal impasse." Before the discussion arouse over the tabling of the amend ment, the merits and faults of the bill were discussed. If it becomes necessary to alter the amendments to the Student Constitution, now before the stu dents for a campus wide vote on Tuesday, then the day of voting for the amendments can be chang ed until March 13. Bob Carter said. "I think we are attempting to define every conceivable point and in attempting to do so we are los ing sight of the general intent of the bill and becoming bogged down in legal questions." Don Furtado. Student Legislature Speaker, said.

Application blanks for this scholarship to study In Germany ! are available at the Student Gov ernment Office, the YMCA In , formation Office and the office of the Director of Student Activl 4 ties in South Builduig. Signed by the IFC Rush Commit tee and endorsed by the council, the statement contained several reasons against delayed rush. "First and most important," said the report, is the economic factor involved in the problem. "The house bills of each fraternity man would have to be raised in order for the house to break even under such men to drop out of fraternities.' According to the release, a more complete statement with supporting facts concerning this problem will be issued later. Dirty Rushing Dirty rushing "would be unstopp able" if the strict silence period were abolished, and active rushing would continue for an entire semes ter. The statement asked if this "would not greatly increase the frustration of the freshmen." The statement pointed out that nearly every freshman entering the University has some knowledge of fraternities and fraternity life. Last year a majority of the fraternity names of fraternities. "Very few cards were left blank." The possibilities of a three or four day rush period at the begin ning of the second semester is being considered by the Rush Com mittee, the statement said.
