Legislature
Not Sure Of
Efficiency
legislators got tangled up on
the question of whether members
were "dead wood" or not, and fin
ally decided some members were
by voting 24-19 to whittle down
the present number of seats from
5 Oto 35. The bill will be present
ed to students in spring elections
in Constitutional amendment
form.
The move was made to become
"more efficient" but in another
instance, the solons figured they
could be just as efficient without
creating five at-large seats (they
voted down such a proposal 27-17).
Believing that a combined com
position - redisricting bill was
too much of a mouthful, the ways
and means committee had halved
a bill introduced by David Ker
ley last week. Kerley reintroduc
ed his redisricting proposal in a
separate form, still calling for re
apportionment of town districts
to let over "1000" unrepresented
men vote.
The 15-seat cut vote came after
over an hour of haggling along
party lines and increased; by the
presence of Ham' Horton and
Sheldon Plager, both University
Party men. Chief topic of debate
was who was to blame for a lack
of interest in student government
and how to increase the . interest

The Student Legislature is at
present considering a bill to af
filiate with the University of

"Give Once Serve All is the
new slogan for the Campus Chest
drive this year," Allen Tate,
cnairman, said yesterday.
"Chest office will open Monday
afternoon in the Y probably and
remain open every afternoon until
and after the drive," Tate added,
which opens on March 4 and
ends March 7."
Gina Campbell was named to
head the faculty solicitations
group and Jimmy Grimes, APO

Gun powder exploded in the wrong direction Wednesday
night for an Alexander dorm resident as the Interdonnitoiy
Court dealt out one of its heaviest decisions suspension of
dormitory residence for one quarter to a known user of fire
crackers. The crackdown on the cracker-user was the first attempt
to halt the continued and illegal
use of pyrotechnics on campus.
Dick Gamble, court chairman
and junior from Summerfield,
warned-that the suspension fine
will be used again for known vio
lators who show "gross inconsid
eration" for fellow dorm residents.
The strongest fine the court can
give is permanent suspension with
$376 Given University In Escheats
The State of North Carolina
recently turned over $376.50 in
unclaimed income tax refund
money to the escheats fund of
the Consolidated University.
The money represented un
cashed refund checks mailed 1 o
35 persons between July 1, 1943
and June 30, 1945. . v
Under the State constitution,
most unclaimed monies lying,
dormant within the State for
five years or more are turned
over to the University's escheats
fund. The fund, in turn, is used
to assist worthy students.
Next Spring, according to
Chief Auditor H. O. Clark of
the State Auditor's office, an
other lump sum representing
unclaimed refunds for the year
from July 1, 1945 to June 30,
1946, probably will be turned
over to the escheats fund.

yesterday that entries may be

recommendation that the offender
never be reinstated.
Gamble pointed out that the
penalty was nothing unusual for
such a case but should prove to
serve .as an example to possible
future violators.
The court decision came on the
heels -of an announcement that a
special "trouble-shooting" com
mittee had been set up by the In
terdorm council to find out who
the "culprits" are and how to ap
prehend them. President Boh
Creed appointed Ray Bond, Jim
Parker and Roy Corderman to
serve with him on the committee
at last Monday night's meeting.
Residents have complained of
the increasing-use of such explos
ives as topedo-type firecrackers,
"bombs," "dynamite caps," and
fuze-type powders. One council
member reported that an explos
ive has been thrown into his win
dow, breaking through the screen
and bursting with such force that
the window broke into hundreds
of splinters.
Bits of glass sprayed him on the
head, but he was uninjured.
Already, the council has re
ceived protests on the firecrackers
hazard. "I'm moving out," said
John Harris, of Grimes dorm ,in
a letter to Dean of Student Fred
Weaver. "I am sick of dorm life,"
he added.
Other students are reported to
have moved, out, since Grimes
seems to be particularly affected
by the firecrackers.
The court has the power to give
probations and suspensions for vi
olations of dormitory rules. State
law prohibits possession or use of
firecrackers. Last year, after sev
eral cases, the IDC sent out letters
advising students to give up the
i explosive weapons.
Other noisemakers" who have
repeatedly "made studying im
possible will be fined depending
upon the individual cases, Gambia
said. A rash of general noisemak
ing caused the IDC recently t
