By DEE DANIELS Jim Crownovei's (SP) defeated bill to require . meetings of legis lators with, their constituents reconsidered and amended by the Student Legislature last night. Jim Scott introduced an amend ment in the form of six articles to replace these in the original bill. Scott's change would require leg islators to visit each housing uni! in their respective districts, and to submit individual reports of actvi ties during the session to the Speak er of the Legislature. The reports would be available tr the campus political parties and the student body. Failure to submit one would be considered one of the un excused absences due each rep resentative during his term. The solons approved the amend ments and then sent the bill to the rules committee following a motion by Bob Nobles (SP) to that effect. They also sanctioned a amended bill, authored by Jack La wing UP), for amending the Legislature by laws to require the request of one legislator plus two seconds for a roll call vote. Originally the bill called for the request of one fifth of the legislators present, but the amendment propos ed by Bill Porter (SP) was approved and the bill was passed by the two thirds vote required for changing the by-laws. In discussion of the bill, Lawing pointed out that it would not be "tak ing away anybody's privilege," but would reduce the number of roll call votes, thereby making legislative meetings more expedient. A bill for the establishment of a Motor Vehicles Advisory Board, in troduced by Bob Thompson (SP), was passed. The Board will be res ponsible for investigating all traffic or related problems concerning the (University and will make recommen dations to the student body presi dent or University officials for al leviation of such problems.

SCOTLAND NECK A group of representative citizens of Halifax County has requested the members of the General Assembly to give adequate financial support to the Consolidated University of North Carolina even if it means an in crease in taxes. Letters to this effect have been sent to all members of the General Assembly and other state officials. These letters were mailed here Sat urday. The letters were signed by James L Pittman of Scotland , Neck. Un der Pittman's signature were listed 45 additional names of persons who had voted unanimously to urge the General Assembly to cover the fi nancial needs of the University for 1959-61 as presented by UNC Presi dent William C. Friday. The action came as the result of a meeting held in Scotland Neck on Thursday, April 16. At that time, the group of Halifax County citizens, with the help of Dr. Henry T. Clark Jr. of the UNC administration, re viewed the financial needs of the University for the coming two years. Following the discussion of the University's need, this group of 46 men and women voted to contact state officials and law makers and urge that funds over and above those recommended by the Advisory Bud get Commission be supplied the Uni versity. The ABC's recommendations were far below the amount re quested by President Friday. The full text of the letter follow: "I am writing to you in behalf of the Consolidated University of North Carolina as spokesman for some forty-six representative citizens of Halifax Couniy. "At a meeting held on April 16 in Scotland Neck, this group considered at some length the vital role which the University of North Carolina plays in the life of our State. With the help of Dr. Henry T. Clark Jr., from the University Administration, we reviewed the financial needs of the University tor the 1959-61 bien- nium. We do not think that the recommendations of the Advisory Budget Commission for 1959-61 are adequate to provide quality train ing for increasing numbers of North Carolina students and to hold and build strong faculties in a short supply market. "At the conclusion of a two-hour discussion, this group of forty-six men and women voted unanimously to urge the General Assembly to cover the financial needs of the Uni versity for 1959-61 as presented by President William Friday even if this means an increase in taxes."
