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.
The organization of a Student Traf
fic Court Investigation Staff was ap
oroved in a bill presented by Ed
Cox. The staff will assemble and
present pertinent information con
cerning a case to the Student Traf
fice Court, issue summons to stu
dent violators to appear before the
Court and be responsible for keep
ing records and files necessary to
the committee's operation.
A bill introduced by Bob Nobles
(SP) to establish a Traffic and Safe
ty Committee was authorized also.
Already established, but not recog
nized, the committee makes rules
and regulations concerning student
:ars and traffic and directs propos
als to the Chancellor for the ex
penditure of funds.

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."
