FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1947 NUMBER 123 NEWS BRIEFS Senators Halt White Primary With Filibuster Talmadge Bill 'Makes Very Little Headway Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 13 (UP) -A filibuster against Governor Herman Talmadge's white primary bill forced the Georgia Senate to adjourn for the week-end this afternoon without passage of the key measure. Led by Senator Everett Millican, who had stacked fruit and crackers on his desk for an all-night stand if necessary, implacable foes of the Tal-madge-version of the 50-section bill plunged the Senate into wearisome consideration of each section. But whether the filibuster is con tinued or not, it appears that the pri mary bill cannot get final approval before next Tuesday at the earliest Herman himself tonight says he fears the measure might not win passage before March 1st.

By Bookie Jabine After wandering through the evening's business like men in a mist, the Student Legislature , last night finally set its sights 'cn the traget and passed John- ny Clampitt's bill providing for i four additional ballot boxes to be piacea on tne campus. The measure which creates polling places in Lower Quadrangle, Mclver, Lenoir hall, Carolina inn, and Ger rard hall was approved by a vote of 17-10. However it was an amend ment introduced by Jimmy Wallace and Tom Eller that started the big fuss. Wallace, upon Eller's recommenda tion, said the bill should be changed to make it necessary for voters to show their I.D. cards and have thera punched before casting their ballots. Lashing out at the bill, Wallace said that it "showed lack of foresight and mature thought." Then the fur began to fly, as John ny Clampitt, head of the elections com- n,ittee, rose to defend the proposal which he' affirmed, "had been care fully thought out by the committee." The committee chairman accused Wallace of "conceit," that he "should hope to amend the bill on the floor after it had been so carefully con sidered by the election group." Said Clampitt of Wallace's action, "It's the height of something or oth er." Debate Rages On Thedebate raged on as Wallace " scathed the bill on the basis that it would prevent no one from voting more than once. Clampitt's . stand against the I.D. card system was based on faith in the honor system. Wallace called the bill "stupid," and assertea that election fraud would run rampant." At last the body got around to vot ing on the I.D. card amendment and defeated it, 17-16. There was also a motion to recommit the bill by Bob Stockton who claimed that such' a system of voting would lead to "noth ing but confusion." This motion was defeated. And the Legislature then passed the original resolution by a 17-10 count. Charlie Long introduced a bill to authorize organization of freshmen and sophomore classes, specifying that the board of election shall conduct lower class elections on February 20. The method in which this bill was handled drew severe criticism from cloakroom observers. Before the proposal was brought up, a motion had been passed to ad journ at 9:30 o'clock. Then the dis cussion became so involved that a motion was passed to extend the time to 10 o'clock. It was at this point that Tag Montague, who had con ducted the disputed elections stomp ed out of Gerrard hall, thus eliminat ing a quorum, and the meeting stood adjourned. Charlie Warren bawled out "the un cooperative members" for their "poor spirit." The whole conduct of the as sembly was disordely, and several members expressed comment on what they termed the "fatious manner of answering roll calls, and walking in and out of the hall." Dance for Married Students Will Feature 'Stardusters' The popular Candlelight room "Stardusters" will furnish music for the married students Valentine dance sponsored by Graham Me morial, in the main lounge of the of the student union tonight from 9:30 until midnight. Dress will be optional and bids may be picked up at the Graham Memorial office to day and tonight. The "Stardusters" have become favorites with students by their reg ular Friday night appearances in the .student union's night club, the Candlelight room. Members of the instrumental quintet also contri bute to Johnny Jones' floorshow. Harry Shipman heads the five star combo with his sax-and-clar-inet playing. Jack Burney plays pi ano, Harry Hinson is bull fiddler, Clifford Doll plays trumpet and Norman Delancy i3 trombonist.
