Legislature Overhauls Constitution Eight Amendments .To Be Ratified On Elections Day The first step toward overhauling the student legislature's constitution was taken last night as all eight of speaker Bill Cochrane's proposed amendments passed unanimously at a special called session. The eight proposals, which would correct constitutional defects that cropped up during the past year, now have only to receive ratification by the student body on general elections day before they go into immediate ef fect. Presented by Cochrane Cochrane, who had drawn up the proposals himself, presented them to the legislature with brief explana tions. The most far-reaching amendment orders all legislature representatives to be elected in the spring and thus permits the assembly to dig in as soon as school opens without having to wait for several campus organizations to select their representatives. Second in importance is the amend ment which calls for the popular elec tion of all representatives and takes the selection out of the hands of the Interdormitory council. Another significant amendment provides for the election of six' hold over members from the outgoing leg islature to form a nucleus of exper ienced members to start the ball roll ing next fall. Election of Speaker A speaker pro-tem, mentioned in the present constitution, would be elected from the legislature1 at the be ginning of the school year, according to a fourth, amendment. A fifth - proposal eliminates th present ex-officio members of the leg islature the editor of the Tar Heel and the vice president of the Athletic association Another amendment for elimination would do away with the office of par liamentarian and leave the final de cisions on all parliamentary disputes to the speaker subject to overrule by See LEGISLATURE, page. 2. - Totten Refuses Comment on Cuts The faculty committee 4 on ab sences met yesterday under the chairmanship of Dr. H.
