The Legislature, sitting as a constitutional convention, thus ended three nights of considera tion on the 37-page work of the Constitutional Revision Commit tee. A simple majority of the students voting in the spring election will be necessary to ratify the reworked supreme law, John Sanders, who headed the Revision Committee, moved for adoption of the entire Constitu tion at 11 o'clock. The Legisla ture had debated and voted on the work section by section. The summer school student government articles, only major change in the streamlined Con stitution, were passed with only J four minor amendments. The provision to require a freshman to sit on the Men's Honor Council, which had been the main point of controversy during both the other constitu tional sessions of the Legislature, caused the major conflict at the final session, but a roll call vote of 15-13 defeated for the third time an amendment,! presented by Sheldon Plager, that would have killed the, freshman member section.

DTH Article Graham Jones, Student Party floor leader in the Legislature and leading opponent of the raise in block fees, yesterday took a crack at Chuck Hauser, Daily Tar Heel managing editor and chairman of the Publications Board.

Hauser, a staff-backed candi date for the editorship of the paper on the University Party ticket in spring elections, re plied merely that Jones' charges "are not worth answering."

"For several years the judicial : councils of student government have been in serious need of careful, conscientious study and revision," Sanders asserted. The present weaknesses in the judiciary, Sanders admitted, were understandable in that the pres ent setup "came about because of the response to needs of a stu dent body of ha.lf the present size." . The candidate, who headed the Constitutional Revision Commit tee which wrote the student Con stitution now before the Student Legislature, listed the weakness es as the fact that the councils serve as investigator, prosecutor, judge and jury, and the fact that there is no definite procedure set jjp for the judicial councils. Sanders proposes that the com mission work out procedure to put the investigating and prelim inary judicial procedure into the hands of a staff outside the coun cil's membership. The committee would also study and evaluate curre'nt pro cedures, practices, and general operation of all nine campus ju dicial councils.

Fox, who i3 seeking the Stu-. dent Party nomination, Tuesday stated he would begin his cam paign without party backing when the SP posponed senior class nominations until after the spring holidays. He added that i he would run independently if he failed to get the SP nomination and that in any case, he was "still running." Formerly sergeant-at-arms for the Student Legislature and at present a member of the Men's Honor Council, Fox said his plans for the senior class were aimed at an effort to "leave something tangible and useful here at the University from mon - ies appropriated plus other mon ies gained by group action of the senior class." He said he wished to see the class of '51 have something tan gible and useful left behind "for the University and the class to remember." As examples, Fox suggested the class leave to the University a scholarship fund, a loan fund, or any one of "many other possibilities." "My belief is," Fox asserted, "that the senior class in working toward such a goal as their class gift will achieve greater class unity and further the Carolina spirit."
