Randall Challenges Board
Selection Of Yearbook Editor
Former SL Parliamentarian-' Says
Correct Procedure Not Followed
By BILL IIOBBS
Former Student Legislature par
liamentarian John Randall yester
day formally challenged the ap
pointment of Louis Legum as edi
tor of next year's "Yackety Yaek"
yearbook on the grounds that the
Publications Board "did not follow
correct procedure" in appointing
Legum Thursday afternoon.
Randall's challenge will be heard
by the Constitutional Council next
Wednesday afternoon.
The challenge is based on Ran
dall's contention that "The pro
visions of Article 2. section 2 of the
law governing the Publications
Board were not followed." He
said specifically that the Board did
not give enough publicity to the
fact that it was selecting an edi
tor for the Yack.
'Publicity Lack'
Randall charges that this "lack
of publicity" may have kept some
students from applying for the job
because they did not know it was
open. The law states - that the
Board must "publicly announce"
vacancies. on the Yack and other
publications.
The second point of his challenge,
also rising from the law concern
ing the Publications Board, is that
the Board "followed improper vot
ing procedures" in the actual sel
ection of the new editor.
The law establishing the proce
dure of the Pub Board, Student
Legislature bill No. B. W. 31-31,
says th3t "The Selections Board
(which appoints the Yack editor)
shall be composed- of - all - voting
members of the Publications Board
excluding the editors and business
managers." Randall .claims this

provision was violated.
Members of the Publications
Board present at the selections
meeting said Thursday that the
Board had suspended its By-Laws
for the voting on Legum's appoint
ment. Randall charged that the
by-laws, since they were establish
ed by the student legislature, could
not be suspended or changed except
by the legislature.
"I have nothing against Legum,
and do not mean this to be any
reflection on him," Randall said.
"To the best of my knowledge, he
is qualified, anc will be appointed
again when the Board follows the
proper procedure if the Constitu
tional Council rules in my favor."
Randall explained that his inter
est in the case stemmed from the
fact that he had been the author
of the legislation which changed
the position of Yack editor from a
campus-wide elective post to one
appointed by the Publications
Board. That legislation, passed
this year, is now in effect, and
Legum's appointment is the first
of its kind.
Editors Appointed
The Pub Board has for many
years appointed the editors of the
Carolina Quarterly and the Caro
lina Handbook.
Randall, who was a representa
tive from Dorm Men's II (lower
Quad) at the time he introduced
the bill concerning Publications
Board selection of the Yack editor,
has figured in challenging Student
Government actions before.
Last fall he discovered the error
in the General Elections Law which
eventually led to the Constitutional
Council's invalidating the entire
elections law and forcing the fall
class officer election to be postpon
ed a week.
Legum and members of the Pub
lications Board were not available
for comment on Randall's chal
lenge. w' 'X" K '

TO CUT DOWN A TREE AROUND HERE:
6It Almost
By CimiS BELL
"It just about takes an Act of
Congress to take a tree down
around here."
Joe Hedgepath looked over at his
two companions working on a brok
en down saw, took a drag on his
cigarette, and talked about the
problems of cutting down trees on
the campus.
Joe and his co-workers. Jim
Simpson and Howard Haule, have
been working for the last two days
cutting down the big ash tree in
back of the Old Well. All three
are employed by the Armstrong
Tree Service of Chapel Hill.
"They're taking down more trees
than ever before," Joe said. "I
guess they're getting scared of
them.
"Our boss, Mr. Armstrong, comes
over and examines the trees on
the campus. He then tells the Uni
versity which ones should be cut
down. The University then de
cides.
Legislature To Consider SG Appointments

was one of nine students appointed
to head student Government com
mittees by newly elected president
Inman Allen. Wheeles was nam
ed chairman of the State Affairs
Committee.
His appointment, like that of the
eight other proposed committee
heads, must be approved by the
student legislature. The appoint
ments were submitted to the legis
lature Thursday night in a message
from Allen.
Scott Summers, chairman of the
legislature's Ways and Means Com
mittee, said his committee would
investigate the proposed appoint
ments this week. The legislature
is expected to act on the appoint
ments next Thursday.
No 'Rubber Stamp
Rummers said. "In the past, ap
proval of appointments has been
too much of a rubber stamp ai
fair. We hope this year to set a
precedent of more careful scrut
iny of presidential appointments.
The Ways and Means committee
hopes to take an active part in in
vestigating these appointments."

working silently on the chain saw

Faculty Council
Gives Authority
To Subcommittee
By GARRY BLANCIIARD
The Faculty Council yesterday
delegated authority to suspend the
"80 per cent" rule, together with
the right to reimpose it, to the
Faculty Committee on Fraternities
and Sororities.
The action was tantamount to
suspending the rul as of the end
of this semester in favor of Intra
Fraternity Council regulation 0f
fraternity academic standards.
As Dr. Clifton H. Kreps, Jr.,
chairman of the Committee on fra
ternities and sororities, put it, "the
probability is overwhelming that
we'll vote to suspend the rule on
Tuesday.
"The specific purpose of our
meeting is to discuss and act on
the question. We would never have
gone to the Faculty Council if we
hadn't proposed to act on it once
we had the opportunity."
But should the rule not be sus
pended Tuesday, Kreps said, "it
probably won't be done at all."
IFC President Jim Dillashaw,
meanwhile, pledged his group will
do its utmost "to justify the con
fidence which the faculty has
placed in us," but said, "we feel
it would be better if we could have
the matter placed entirely in our
hands in sort of a trial period, rath
er than having it hanging over our
heads."
The Faculty Council, meeting as
usual in executive session, took
nearly an hour to pass the meas
ure. "It was very thoroughly discuss
ed," said council secretary Dr. A.
C. Howell. "Many people spoke
to request information."
Although the motion passed by
a clear majority, he said, "there
was a scattering of no.'s."
Assessing the action, Dr. Kreps
said:
"What it amounts to is this: The
Faculty Council has told us, 'you ;
can suspend the 80 per cent rule.
If it doesn't work out, you can put
k back into effect.'
"Now, our feeling is that we're

perfectly willing to give the IFC
the opportunity to demonstrate they
can enforce the regulations they've
set up. They've committed them
selves to impose standards of acad
emic performance on fraternity
members that in my judgment are
more strenuous than the 80 per
cent rule.
"In a sense, what we've got here
is a trial marriage. We'll be work
ing with the IFC very closely to
see that they carry out their regu
lations.
"Basically, we're hoping that the
Carolina student government tra
dition will be effective in this area,
as it's been in others. It's much
better for students to regulate
themselves than have the faculty
do it."
The "80 per cent" rule provides
that a fraternity lose its rushing
privileges should 80 per cent of its
members not make a C average
two semesters in succession.
The IFC regulations designed to
replace the rule, basically require
that individual fraternity members
must be deactivated unless they
maintain a C average ever a two
semester period.
The Faculty Council motion pass
ed yesterday read: "By action of
the Faculty Council at its May 4th
meeting, authority was granted to
the Committee on Fraternities and
Sororities to suspend the univer
sity's present fraternity - sorority
scholarship regulation the so-called
80 per cent rule as of the end
of this spring, 1962, together with
the right to reimpose it should
such action subsequently seem
wise."
