Requirements Requirements for the first Women M Campus Must .Ratify Bill To Change Amendment By Helen High water At its regular weekly meeting last night, the student legisla ture entertained and unanimously passed an amendment to its constitution which would give the legislature the power to amend its constitution without the ratification of the student body. To go into effect, the bill must now be ratified by the student body and will be voted on by them in the immediate future. At ; least 25 percent of the students T OL m To Be Named After Alumna A merchant ship to be named for Mrs. Cornelia Phillips Spen cer," "the most celebrated woman in the history of Chapel Hill," is to be lanched at ceremonies in Wilmington Saturday, April 24, at 2:15. The ship has just been comple ted by the North Carolina Ship building Company which has speeded up its production sche dule to such an extend that only 27 days are now required from keel laying to launching. Farrer Mrs. P. C. Farrar, president of the Chapel Hill Community Club, was recently notified by the Maritime Commission that the ship was to be named for Mrs. Spencer. Mrs. Farrar's son, Byng, is a member of the staff supervising construction of the ship. A number of Chapel Hill peo ple will attend the launching. Miss Cornelia Love of the Uni versity Library, a granddaugh ter of Mrs. Spencer, has been named sponsor.

Important Features The amendment as passed by the legislature would give it the power to amend its constitution with the exception that it may in no way impair the student body's right to initiative refer endum. It also limited the juris diction of the bill to the dura tion of the emergency. Legislator Gus Johnson out lined the necessity for such a bill commenting, "with the stu dent body rapidly being decen tralized it is necessary for the legislature to act quickly and ef ficiently. Particularly must they take steps to reapportion repre sentation to the body since many students are moving into town and the present rules of appor tionment are unfair. To change this and other pressing matters which may come up soon, it is necessary to have a vote of the student body which is exceed ingly difficult as they are be coming more 'decentralized.
