IN BUDGET DEBATE: So lows n unsia A fj n Amend mem Don Fowler Goes Over dminisf ration Work 4 By NEIL BASS President Don Fowler said yes terday the "biggest job" accomp lished under his administration was revision of the studenit Constitu tion. . Fowler made the statement as a part of a general review of his administrative reign. OTHER ACCOMPLISHMENTS The outgoing student body pre sident then went on to outline other achievements of bis adminis tration. EXECUTIVE SECRETARY "The establishment of an exe cutive secretary" was a milestone and prominent part "of ' my ad ministration," Fowler said. "It has added much continuity and order to student government," he told a reporter. DATE TICKETS Another action listed by Fow lers concerned the lowering of pri ces' for student date tickets. "It is possible that lower-priced date tickets will be a feature ;- of all home-games next year," he said. This is contingent on whether, or not- the plan is successful on an experimental basis according to Fowler!

Dallas Ammons testified that Gerns authorized sucb voting, but he was cleared1 of the charge.

"The establishment of a Traffic Com mittee to reduce excessive viola- , tion of traffic ordinances," Fowler' listed as the reason for his opti mistic attitude. CONSTITUTIONAL REVISION "The ironing-out of several handicaps in the student Constitu tion to make it more expedient, was the major accomplishment of his administration, according to Fowler. The Constitution was revised by a Constitutional Revisional Com mission set-up by the student Leg islature. SCHOLARSHIP The establishment of a $200 sc holarship for the freshman self help student with -highest acade mic average w?. another prize achievement of his administration, said Fowler. The scholarship was proposed by Larry McElroy and approved by the student Legislature. CUTS REGULATION The promulgation of a more-lenient cuts regulation by the Regu lation Study Commission was point ed to with pride by President Fow ler. : The new proposal would permit unlimited cuts by third and fourth students, if approved by--the- ad-; ministration. . ; GRAHAM MEMORIAL j A clear-cut policy , for Graham Memorial, and provision for a new director was another bright spot that Fowler emphasized as occur ring during his leadership. ! A delegation will soon leave for Purdue University to secure a new director, according to Fow ler. CARAVAN Instigation of plans for a cara van to next year's UNC-Virginia football game was also listed by Fowler as a prized accomplish ment.

By NEIL BASS As of press time last night, the student Legislature had approved some $16,000 of the total $103, 450.59 student budget for 195G-57. The most important action o the night dealt with an appropri ation to the University band. The Legislature, in effect, went over the head of an administration ruling. That is to say, the student body last fall approved a constitution al amendment appropriating 15c per student per semester to the University band by a vote of ap proximatey five to one. The administration which must acknowledge any raise in student fees refused to recognize the amendment. But the student Legislature last night voted to incorporate the administration-rejected amendment in the student government budget. Thus the band will get the $1,800 which the student body approved and the University rejected. Ac cording to several legislators, the bands appropriation was blocked by Dean Fred Weaver personally. Other appropriations approved by legislative action included: (1) $1,300 to student govern ment's executive secretary. (2) 325 to the Elections Board. (3) $956 to the Orientation Com mittee. (4) - $907 to the National Stu dent Association. (5) $510 to the Women's Resi dence Council. (6) $1001.50 to the Men's Inter dormitory Council. N (7) $1,725 to the Carolina For um. (8) $1,500 to the Debate Council. (9) ,$295 to the Independent Wo men's Council. (10) $500 to the Carolina-Goct-tingen Student Exchange Scholar ship Program. The budget request which drew the most debate from the legis lators, excluding the band's ap propriation, concerned the Debate Council. first Gilbert and Sullivan per formances. . The Basingstoke sextet was formed last year by a student in the University, John Ludwig. The group aims to produce excerpts from the Savoy operas in the same spirit and tradition in which they were produced in the last century, Ludwig said.

A contralto, her past experience includes work in North Carolina's outdoor productions. She will sing arias from "Pa tience", "The Yeoman- of the Guard", and "The Gondoliers." .The other-four members of. the group have sung with the1 sex tet before. They are Miss Jan Saxon, coloratura; Miss Susie Rob erts, mezzo soprano; James Pruitt, tenor; and James Chamblee, bari tone. ' Walter Golde will accompany the group.
