Nominees In Doubt
As To Function Of
Mew Legislature ,
11 Of 16 Named By
Interdorm Council
Want Explanation
Eleven of the 16 nominees of
the Interdormitory council . for
positions on the student legisla
ture said in interviews yester
day that they were unable to
offer any definite platform to the
campus because they did not
understand the function or
powers of the legislature.
All of those nominated expressed a
vague idea as to what the function of
the assembly would be, but the ma
jority asked to have its major powers
and principles explained to them be
fore the election tonight.
Foremost among those who refused
to state any platform, was Billy
Broadfoot, who stated that anyone
would be "sticking his neck out" if
he set a definite platform, particular
ly if he did not understand the work
ings of the legislature. Broadfoot
stated however that he will stand be
hind the legislature if it will benefit
the campus as a whole.
STANDING IN DOUBT
. Among others who stand in doubt
are Mitchell Britt and Bill Pearson
of Everett. Both expressed desires to
take an active part in anything that
would prove beneficial to the students,
and that would allow a larger part of
the student body to have a say in its
.government. Both believed that the
student legislature had great possi
bilities but that they would like to
have its policies and powers explained
to them in detail. .
Herb Langsam of Graham and "Wal
ter Kleeman of Pettigrew are both in
favor of the power of the legislature
to regulate student fees, but Lang
sam believes that the other powers
that the body will exercise should be
clarified. Both favored the idea as a
whole, and believed that it is a neces
sary part of the student government.
ALSO NEED KNOWLEDGE
President of Grimes Jack Vin
cent and Bob Milner and John
Singletary expressed the beliefs that
this is the most democratic step ever
taken on the campus, and that it is
due time for something of this sort
to be organized. They also pointed out
though, that they do not know exactly
what the function would be, and that
they would like to have it explained to
the council.
Wingate Upton of Old East says
that he is in favor of any body that
will prove itself to be a place for the
thrashing out of any ideas that may
be brought up on the campus. He is in
doubt as to what the full purpose is
to be, and would like to have it clari
fied. Stancil Stroud of Ruffin follows
with the general trend of ideas, and
states that he favors anything that
will be beneficial to the students. He
believes that there are certain points
about the legislature that should be
explained however. .

No Action Will Be
Taken Till Next
. Year, Rogerson Says
. The administration has ap
proved the recommendation ; of
the Student advisory committee
concerning straight line tele
phones in the dormitories, L. B.
Rogerson announced late yes
terday afternoon. Action, how
ever, will not be taken until next
year. J
In his statement, Rogerson. stated
that the administration was in favor
of the single party lines, but that the
action will have to be delayed for
several reasons. One of these is that
new telephone directories have just
been published and distributed, iand
this action would only cause trouble
and confusion. :
PARTY LINE ;
At present, two campus dotmi-
tories are on the same line, causing
much inconvenience in calls to and
from the buildings. The recommenda
tion was presented Monday to Roger
son, assistant controller, by the
Student advisory committee com
posed of Bill Cole, Ned Hamilton, and
Vaughn Winborne.
The new system, which will be
ready for use for next year's all
quarter, will have a minimum " in
crease in cost of 50 cents and a maxi
mum increase of $2.25 for each tele
phone per month. -STUDENT
CODE FRAMED
Privacy of telephone conversations
was recognized as desirable by the
administration, and therefore tele
phone booths will also be installed, for
next year. These will have to be
limited to certain dormitories because
of lack-of-space in- some-and- as -yet
it is not known which will be affect
ed. The cost of installing booths will
be 50 dollars each."
Framed student codes will be placed
in all rooms on the campus at the
expense of the University provided

body, started the move for distribu
tion of student codes, and payment
