"The student : Legislature . has
been the scene of confusion and
logjams. In short, it has done lit
tle of real value. The basic rea
son for this has been the con-:
stant bickering between the two
parties on the floor of the Legis

has been ineffective as a result of
petty, party politics. This must
cease! -
'"The first step, to take toward
making the Legislature a truly ef ?

speaker who owes his election to
neither party.' He must, be free to

"When a bill is proposed in the
Legislature the vice-president
must be able to guarantee a fair

function. First it seeks to "further
cooperation and friendly relations
among the three student bodies

affecting the students.
Outstanding among these activi
ties are the annual Fall and Win

joint social events on one of the

on the date of the State-Carolina
football game.
In the winter State College

the "council promotes other joint
social and extra-cirricular activi
