Student Legislature
Will Gobi Off Tonight
By NEIL BASS
The student Legislature meets
tonight at 7:30 for a cooling off
session.
The comparatively mild atmos
phere will be the result of stu
dent politicians' catching their
breaths after steaming party nom
inations. More controversy and interest
were maintained at one of the
nomination sessions than the oth
er. The Student Party haggled
and deliberated for two hours be
fore it picked a nominee for the
presidency of the student , body.
' The University Party listened
to Rollie Tillman praise Ed Mc
Curry for four minutes, and then
shooed him in as their candidate
by acclamation. Three more min
utes .elapsed and the party had

hall, . listen to , Martin Jordan rap
his gavel commanding their at
tention, and probably hurriedly
dispose of the three bills to be
considered
According to Jack Stevens, UP
floorleader, and ; David ; Reid, SP
floorleader, none of the three
measures to be considerd promis
es to arouse much argument. The
bfil of the night, however, is one
asking for legislature endorse
ment of the revisd Interdormitory
Council bylaws.
The two major phanges to the
bylaws are: .
(1) The .removal of a clause in
the bylaws, and thus in the stu
dent Constitution, calling for "An
advisor appointed by the Univer-
sity" to sit On the Council from
each dorm (This vacancy has been
filled by an IDC representative
from each men's dorm) and,
(2) Provision for a summer
school IDC.
"If the Legislature approves these
bylaws, they will go to the stur
dent body in a referendum for
final okay. This bill is co-intro-
duced by the SP and UP.
Other bills to come up before
the body are: (1) A bill to pay
Tom Creasy's way to an integra
tion conference at Massachusetts
Institute of Technology, and
(2) A bill t0 give Carolina For
um a man on Debate Council.
Both of these ideas are intro
duced by the SP.
The tabulation for the year now
stands at 26 bills' passed by the
SP and 8 for the UP.

carry through. He explained that
although his faction was numeri
cally behind . the SP in passing
bills, the few that they had ram
med through were important and
workable enough to more than
compensate for the difference.
David Reid, SP leader, answered
the statement by saying, "The SP
has introduced and enacted mea
sures we felt were to the best
interest of the student body as a
whole. When officials of student
government are afraid to intro

Graham Memorial's director is

This was the second meeting of
the board, which has scheduled
meetings every other week. Mem

The Complaints Board was set
up to hear complaints from stu

ed over directly to the Executive
Committee of Legislature, which
decides the validity of the com
plaints. The student making the
complaint will receive a report
on his complaint from the Execu

Meetings of the Complaints
Board are not public unless the
student making the . complaint
wishes theni to be so. This policy
was adopted by the board to "pro

.Both the University Party and
the Student Party are represented
on the board. One legislative rep

from the women's towp district
and one from the women's dorm
district, make up the membership.

Assails Kraar-Yoder
Policies And Emphasis
David' Mundy, former columnist for The Daily Tar Heel,
yesterday made a statement in which he formally announced
his candidacy fori the editorship of the newspaper. .
Mundy is a sophomore from Black. Mountain. He is clerk
of the Dialectic Literary Society.- ; -
Mundy's statement read as fol
lows: "I had hoped to see in the race
for the editorship an opportunity
for the students to make some
decisions regarding conduct and
policies of The Daily Tar Heel.
Tthat the two othfcr candidates
would be in the race, I know.
It was only this weekend that I
belatedly learned , that they have
formed a corporation and decid
ed to run as candidates for a
proposed co-editorship.
"This likelihood of any oppor
tunity for the students by vote
to express their desires concern
ing the conduct of The Daily Tar
Heel, and the very unfortunate
present condition of the student
newspaper, have promptd my can
didacy. "The candidates for co-editor
have served as associate editors
Of The Daily Tar Heel. At the
risk of being accused of "a person
al attack, I must declare that they
are in part responsible for the
present condition of the paper.
'.The news function of the stu
dent newspaper has been largely
ignored by, the editors.
"I cannot in justice blame the
news staff for faulty and scanty
coverage. The staff is pitifully
small and composed chiefly of
first-year students The task' of
campus news coverage is simply
beyond their limitations. I com
mend them for as well as they
have done
"The two candidates, during
their period of responsibility this
year, have done little to main
tain a sizeable staff. I have seen
a great number of students come
up to The Daily Tar Heel offer
ing to 'help out.' They receive
no encouragement and leave. Their
nominal superiors, the news and
managing editors, simply have too
much to do themselves. Were it
plausible that the two candidates
reform, change their interests and
emphasis, and really work at the
job of publishing a paper, I would
not be a candidate.
"My candidacy is no part of
any plan to 'get' anyone. The pa
per needs whatever help that any
one can offer. Mr Kraar and Mr.
Yoder, both interesting writers,
are an asset to the paper as such.
It is their emphasis and manage
ment policies which give cause
for concern.
"It is n0 plot to 'capture' the
group. Were I editor, I would ex
pect to be much too busy in the
management and maintenance of
an effective staff. My own opinion
quite' definitely labeled as my
own, would be offered on such
subjects as I thought of importance
to the student body. All other
opinions, of whatever degree,
would be quite welcome.
"In short, I do not feel that
the duty of the editor is to stim
rlate opinion, challenge unjust
prejudices and make students re
alize why they think as they do.
The editor's, or the co-editors'
duty is instead' to 'get out' a pa
per' of interest and value to the
entire, student body.
"It is that for which I expect
to work, and for which end I
expect to be a , candidate f or the
SP endorsement next Monday."
