, A plan to set up a non-partisan
Cheerieading Board which
will review candidates lor the
head cheerleader position and
recommend its choices to the
student body in the general elec
tions received full approval of
both campus political parties this
week.
The proposal was presented to
the parties by Norm Sper, pres
ent head cheerleader, and was
passed unanimously in open
meetings- by both the University
and Student Parties. The SP
passed on the plan Monday
night with the stipulation that
the UP must also approve and the
University Party Steering Com
mittee voiced its approval yes
terday.
Sper's plan calls for a five
man board to review candidates
for the position and recommend
two of them to the student body
at election time. This board will
be composed of the president" of
the' University Club, president!
of the Monogram Club, president!
of WWA, president of the Card
Board and the retiring head
cheerleader.
In case a head cheerleader
wishes to run for reelection, his
position on the board would go
temporarily to the president of
the student body.
"I feel the job should not be
based strictly on vote-getting
ability personality," Sper said.
"Similar programs such as I have
suggested have worked else
where." Open meetings of the Cheer
leading Board will be held March
22-25. The selections will be an
nounced in time for other can
didates to file their intentions of
seeking the position after the
board makes its recommenda
tions.

Selby Lashes Politicos,
Promises 'Democracy'
Independent presidential candidate Toby Selby opened
his campaign for election in the. spring balloting yesterday
as he tongue-lashed "the small group of campus politicos
that have passed themselves off as representatives of this
University."
Selby, former Campus Party
member, entered the fight for the
top campus job yesterday, after
he said "numerous demands" by
friends had convinced him that
the move was necessary.
"I assure you that, if elected,
I will introduce an impetus that
hasn't been seen on the campus
since the formation of the student
constitution," Selby promised.
Selby challenged the presence
of "real democracy" in cither the

committee of 25 student who rep
resent, almost exclusively, the
fraternity faction on campus." ,
Commenting on his decision, to
enter the presidential fight un
endorsed by anyarty, Selby as
serted that he was "answering
the call of friends and other stu
dents who have become sick of
the manifold political blunders
and stagnant administration of
the past few years."
Such a demand, he asserted, "is
an encouraging sign on the part
of students who have overridden
the apathy that has been brought
on by the status-quo administra
tions of the past and have sought
to give their support to a fellow
student who will be their repre
sentative as president of the stu
dent body."

Third Best In Nationals Distinction Of Campus
By Charlie Brewer
. "The distinction of being the
third most beautiful campus in
the country is certainly a feather
in our cap," R. J. M. Hobbs,
chairman of the eight-member
Committee of Buildings and
Grounds, said yesterday.
Lewis Mumford, noted author
and critic, made the statement in
his visit to the campus last year.
In his opinion, the three top
ranking university campuses in
the nation are the University of
Virginia, Stanford University in
California and the University of
North Carolina. ' ' "
"Our committee feels ' happy
indeed that ' the administration
has done so much to improve ihe
grounds through walls,' walks,
trees and shrubbery, Hobbs con
tinued. "We realize that the campus
has been, and will continue to be
torn-up a good bit, due to the
expansion construction," he sakL
However, the chairman pointed
out, this construction is "very
badly needed" to expand the fa
cilities of the University, former
ly of 4500 students, to accommo
date the increased enrollment.
Hobbs pointed out that there
are eight sizable projects in
construction or discussion stages.
Now in the building stage arc the
addition to Manning, addition to
the library and the new hospital
and clinic.
The new men's dorm is prac
tically ready for bids, while the
three building commerce unit, the
addition to Venable, TB Hospital
and Dentistry School will all be
built in the near future.
Upon completion of the esti
mated $18. million expansion
program," generously voted by
the State Legislature, "there will
still be additional needed facili
ties at the University to keep
pace with the growing demand
for education, said Hobbs, but
"we will have a school of which
our students can be justly
proud."
"It would be the recommenda
tion of the Buildings and Grounds
Committee that just as soon as
the temporary structures are not
needed, they should come down,'
the chairman concluded.
Consideration
New Supreme Law
Being Presented
By Revision Body
By Roy Parker. Jr.
A revamped, streamlined
student Constitution will go
to the floor of the Student
Legislature tonight, product
of six months work by Presi
dent Bill Mackic's Constitu
tional Revision Committee.
The Legislature will be asked
lo sit as a constitutional conven
tion, and pass the new campus
supreme law in sections. The new
constitution's ratification article
provides that the work will be
come law if a simple majority of
the -Student Legislature, sitting
as a convention, and a simple
majority of the students voting in
the spring election April 4, ap
prove it.
The revised work has no strik
ing changes from the present
Constitution, except provisions
for a summer school student gov
ernment, but is designed to iron
out kinks in the present law, and
put into law some governmental
practices that have grown from
usage and legislative action.
The present student Constitu
tion was ratified in the spring of
1946. It was written by a conven
tion called especially for the pur
pose. The summer school govern
ment provision sets up a sum
mer council with all administra
tive and legislative functions,
and with judicial power to hear
appeals from Men's and Women's
Honor Councils. . It follows the
line of the unofficial setup used
last summer.
A revamped article on the
campus courts sets forth, for the
first time, the jurisdiction of the
various campus judicial bodies. It
also sets the composition of the
Law and Medical School courts,
adds three new members to the
Men's Honor Council, and does
away with dormitory judicial
councils.
The streamlined constitution
will leave fixing of spring and
fall election dates up to the Stu
dent Legislature. For the past
two years, this has been a major
headache, since the dates in the
present constitution have invar
bly come in on or near vacation
periods.
Changes in the student body
President's powers and duties in
clude allowing him to appoint to
fill vacancies in any elective of
fice. The office of Attorney-General,
to be chief assistant to the
president, is Authorized. Both of
these provisions are codifications
of practices, that have grown
from usage.
Among other student govern
ment agencies, the new constitu
tion would:
(1) Provide for a 15-man Ori
entation Board, with at least five
coeds. This is a codification of the
present Legislature - established
Board and combines the now sep
a rate men and coed boards.
(2) Give the Legislature tha
power to set the membership of
the. Dance Committee and the
University Club. Since the mem
bership is now set by the consti
tution itself, this would do away
