Or.e of the major points of the discussion centered around the action of the board in appointing the sports editor of the Daily Tar Ed Rankin, president of. the PU$ board, explained that it had never be r-ecessary before, but that thi3 year there was a difference of opinion between the editor and the managing editcr as to who should receive the apptiTitraent, and the board felt 'it necessary to act. - Eskin then referred the group to the constitution of the Publications union, by which the board is empow ered to take such steps. Under the section entitled "Duties and Powers of the Eoard," the constitution reads: "In o-eneral, to promote cooperation be tween the various publications . . . through the exercise of general super vision over all student publications which are now or may be brought under the supervision of the Board." This "general supervision' clause grit s the board the broad powers srhich had earlier brought forth ques tioning from Bob Magill, director of Graham Memorial. More Than Financial , Msgill said he believed such power -was nore than simply "financial direc tion," for which purpose the board was originally created, and suggested that action be taken to strike this clause from the constitution. Kankin was also questioned as to investments made by the board, and as to losses which these investments had incurred. He read a list of the common stocks of which the board owr.s shares and said these were se lected with the advise of faculty ex pert?. Asked about a past investment in certain Chapel Hill businesses which had brpught loss, the board members were unable to give any in formation.
