Magill Favors
Proposed Plan
For Legislature
Students Will Have Say In
School Policies, Fees,
Budgets
President of the Student Body Bob
Magill takes a definite stand in favor
of the proposed legislature plan to be
voted on today at Graham Memorial:
"A legislature representing student
opinion will give the student body a
chance to influence administrative
policy on such matters as athletic reg
ulations, business service and equip
ment, and the arrangement of holi
days. Student Interest
"The whole field of curricular prob
lems could well be opened to student
interest. Why shouldn't we have
something to say about the most im
portant things concerning the cam
pus? Student opinion might be re
flected through the legislature on
such matters as grades, comprehen
sives, and examinations.
"To give a legislature the power to
pass on the budgets of fee-collecting
organizations will give students, now
being taxed without representation, a
chance to say for themselves whether
or not they want to continue those
fees.
"Fees and budgets for debating,
athletics, publications, student entertainments,-
Graham Memorial, and
student government can be re-evaluated
each year. The student body will
be further given the opportunity, if
the legislature is adopted, to realize
the necessity of financing student af
fairs by paying student fees.
"In a general way, the legislature
would formally integrate the" student
body on firmer ground."

join the union, before they will be
considered as applicants for the va
cancies caused by graduation this
spring.
In announcing the plan, union
chairman Alex Heard said that it is
an entirely new system which is
being inaugurated mainly to do away
with the long interviews that have
previously been necessary. The fac
tual questions, which have previously
been asked the individual applicant,
are all included on the mimeographed
application form. Among the ques
tions asked are: what is your name,
your class, your address, your politi
cal affiliations, your campus activi
ties, are you a male student, and have
you previously applied for member
ship to the union.

few winks before initiating last min
ute drives for votes today.
Campus interest focused on the
quest for votes of University party's
Bud Hudson and Student party's Jim
Joyner for presidency of the student
body. A few paces behind in dormi
tory and fraternity bull sessions was
the struggle for editor of the Daily
Tar Heel being waged between Allen
Merrill, staff choice and Universitv
party nominee, and Voit Gilmore,
Student party selection.
Usually placid YMCA elections
took another surprising twist yester
day when DeWitt Barnett withdrew
his nomination for presidency, assur
ing the office for Brooks Patten. Bar
nett and Patten were both in the field
for presidency, the aspirant receiving
the lesser number of votes to be vice
president. YMCA leaders will select
a vice-president later in the quarter.
Calm Sleep
Five aspirants slept calmly last
night, certain of election. Unopposed
and backed by both political organiza
tions were Bill Hendrix, for student
body vice-presidency; Carl Pugh, for
editor of the Bucanneer; Rutherford
Yeates, for editor of the Yackety
Yack; Gene Turner, for recording
secretary of the YMCA; and Tommy
Holmes, for treasurer of the YMCA.
Perhaps more momentous to the
University than selection of next
year's campus leaders are the four
proposed alterations in student gov
ernment. Chief of these is the plan for a stu
dent legislature, submitted by Presi
dent Bob Maeill and the student
council and endorsed by a committee
of 10 campus leaders, the interf rater-
nity and interdormitory councils.
Another issue proposed by the stu
dent council is creation of a new cam
pus office, secretary-treasurer of the
student council, to give added honor
and responsibility to the present of
fice of student council secretarv-
treasurer. Students will also vote on
