At the conclusion of the last Dusiness, smitn will turn over the gavel to newly-elected leader Terrell Webster. At the same time, the other new members will take over the seats and votes of the retiring legislature. Surveyal of plans and necessi ty for freezing student govern ment will first be considered by a committee which Webster is expected to. appoint as one of his first official acts. This issue, boosted to added importance by its inclusion in the program of the final Men's Officer Training School and recent Army-Navy moves, has been classified as the most "important problem facing the wartime campus." Webster promised that the legislature committee would get the facts on it and present group and the campus at large as well as his organization. Stepping-down of Smith and the majority of his Legislature marks the departure of Caro lina's first student government run under complete war condi tions. In previous meetings of the OTS, Smith and Webster thoroughly discussed the many problems that the 1942-43 Leg islature faced and solved, prob lems occasioned by the unnatur al state of the country and the campus. In freezing, the Webster com mittee will have the hottest ches nut yet to come out of the politi cal fire. Campus leaders have been unable to agree on the ad visability or necessity of this drastic step and many look to the action of the Legislature to point the way to a final settlement.
