Breaks Precedent
For, probably the first time in
the history of the famous "Caro
lina politics," a representative
of the Daily Tar Heel will at-
tenp, ine . meeting of the Univer
sity, party steering committee "in
ordrl report its .proceedings
ior publication when the party
holds its next conclave of lead
ers. '
-Joe Murnick, president of the
party, revealed yesterday that
Donald Bishop, Daily Tar Heel
freshman reporter, had been se
lected by the steering committee
of 25 to cover all future meet
ings. Never Before
Murnick said that so far as he
knew, no press representative
had ever attended such a meet
ing in that capacity.
The steering committee's ac
tion followed another recent lib
eral move in the party which
saw non-fraternity men gain a
numerical advantage in the tra
ditional "fraternity party."
Reorganization
Under the reorganization set
up, non-fraternity men hold 13
of the steering committee jobs
and 12 fraternities have repre
sentatives. Last year the party periodi
cally released news stories for
the Daily Tar Heel, but in pre-
vious years most of its proceed
ings had been a dark secret un
til the stories had lost their
news value.

NUMBER 110
Rule
Defines Nature Of Vote
Required To Raise
Student Fees
Rule Badly Needed
By Bob Perkins
Last night the student council
passed a rule defining the na
ture of the jvote necessary to
raise student fees.
"No organization collecting
compulsory fees shall increase
its fee without the favorable
vote of a majority of 50 per cejit
of its membership," the rule
reads.
Recommendation
Although the Student Welfare
board, acting on the suggestion
of a faculty fee committee, rec
ommended such a ruling last
year,' it had never been passed
by any legislative body on the
campus. i
However it had been general
ly discussed and adopted as a
theoretical policy by the council.
Explanation:
In explaining the council's ac
tion President Bob Magill said:
"The council feels that this
ruling is called for because stu
dent taxes should not , be in
creased under any circum
stances, in view of their present
level, without the positive sanc
tion of a large per cent of the
student body.
'If the new function that a
proposed increase calls for is
