' The scene was the north side of Battle-V3nce-Pettigrew where the 1964 Sidewalk Art Show was in progress. Some 70 artists had ca display over 500 paintings, prints and sculpture. Itfing askance in a rhododentron bush at the side on the stately fcuilding, a red-headed nude was sitting languously on a crooked checkerboard. Farther away, at the end of the walk, a pot-bellied stove with beri-beri was' standing with a drooping lower jaw staring stupidly at a fire-hydrant. The NBC Peacock had swallowed a stick of dynamite and had found himself in Iess-than-perfect condition smeared on a piece of black canvus. 'It's obviousty a symphony brass section," a fellow with a contemplative knit in his brow said to a companion. "I'm not so sure. I tbink it's a nickleodium. See, you put your money in here and this little gad jet over, here beats against that top-hat looking thing ..." Three, morose musicians sat with their legs entwined on the . canvus near the wall. Their heads were made of paraffin, or so it seemed, and their features ran together in the frame. "A birdcage," said a 3-year-old onlooker gazing towards the swinging mobil that fluttered in a tree. The birds hadn't been fed in quite a while. Just their bones were left. A purple Slinky Spring with an arrow on the end pointed directly to a madras pineapple burning to a cinder across the yard. "Please, lady, not on the head," said the gentleman in charge when grandmother had set her pocket book on the cement lady's round top in order to remove more easily the wrapper from a Mr. Goodbar. "Isn't this a pretty one," the lady in green slacks asked her baby daughter, pointing to a tiny framed oil painting. "I don't like it," was the child's reply. "That man has got his gats hanging out." The Four Horsemen of the Apocylypse rode down Franklin Street on a streak of terror and different colored horses. The shadows of a New York streetlight stood beside a milkmaid bathing her feet in the Wabash. There were pictures of the sky and of the sea, of green-eyed cats and red-tongued dogs. The on lookers soaked in fie colors and forms with the same delight that they soaked up the afternoon sun. Jeff Bayer, who organized the show said, "The artists get to keep the money they make. We did not charge an exhibit fee. "In the first four hours, we sold about $375 worth of stuff." Most of the exhibits were small prints and ink drawings. "We had more than an average percentage of oils, though," said Bayer. The average price for the large oils was $35. The prints sold for from $8 to $10. The show will continue on the BVP lawn from 1 p.m. 'til dusk tomorrow. Hays Attacks Referendum Bill By JOHN GREENBACKER Student Party Floor Leader Arthur Hays sharply attacked the boycott referendum bill passed by the Student Legislature Thurs day night. By charging the Legislature with ignoring the Student Constitution, Hays departed from the stands of Student Body President Bob Spearman, Vice President Don Carson and University Party Floor Leader Mai King. Spearman, Carson and King, in separate statements to the 'DTH, all urged the voters to attend the polls and vote as they see fit. "It was with some dismay," Hays statement read, "that I watched the Student Legislature -ft I 5 sjkui&I t . - J - - nr.. .. .-..r- a.j- iy y jWi'iifii iMi Show pass a referendum resolution which was so blatantly unconsti tutional as to force some of its supporters to shrug off the con stitutional question as a mere technicality." The bill calls for the Commu nications Committee to conduct a "poll" of the student's opinion on the boycott issue using the same procedure as in an official refer endum. The Student Constitution states that all referendums must be conducted by the Elections Board, but legislators chose to use the Communications Committee for the sake of time. "A referendum is still a refer endum no matter what else it's called." Hays said. 'The Com , y ' v r s. Iff rt ' - . A N V l:h !, I i i 's '- - ' ' " '! isr -Mr" - Poll JPreceden is Broken ' By Dramatic Vote By HUGH STEVENS Student Legislature was appar ently successful Thursday night in a last-ditch attempt to bring the controversial student boycott before the Student Body this spring. Calmly tossing technicalities and tradition aside, the body passed a precedent - shattering "Student Poll" resolution in a dramatic vote as the South Build ing bell rang out 10:45, the auto matic adjournment time. The resolution, which bypasses the Elections Board and other constitutional requirements for a "referendum" by substituting the word "poll," provides for a stu dent vote cn the racial question next Friday, May 15. The "poll" will be conducted by. the Communications Commit tee, with the cooperation of dor mitory, fraternity, and sorority officers. One article of the reso lution allows the Communications Committee to make use of the ballot boxes normally controlled by the Elections Board. Surprise Passage Passage of the "poll" resolu tion came as a surprise to many legislators and observers. On Wednesday the Ways and Means Committee had voted to hold up both of the referendum resolutions due for consideration because of an apparent lack of time in which to hold a referen dum this semester. The committee was told by Bob Spearman, Student Body presi dent, that a new Elections Board which conducts all elections and referendums could not be ap pointed and approved before May 14. Bill Aycock, past chairman of the Elections Board, indicated that this date would not give the munications Committee can not constitutionally conduct this ref erendum." Carson said he felt the ref erendum should have been con ducted during the spring elec tions, "but, upon re-examination of the Student Government statu tes involved, we discovered it was possible to conduct the referendum as a poll." Spearman used his statement to reiterate his intention to boy cott segregated business estab lishments, and urged his fellow students to do likewise. T urge every member of the student body," he added, "to consider this issue carefully and to participate in the poll."

It was against these obstacles that the Legislature staged its stand. Committee Discharged Before the issue could come to the floor, Legislature was requir ed to override the Ways and Means committee's wish to hold the bill. Dick Akers (SP), co-sponsor of one of the referendum resolu tions, moved first to discharge the committee from further con sideration of his measure (RW-37-3). He expressed his desire to have the bill considered in order to amend it to provide for the special "poll." Akers was strongly opposed by Arthur Hays (SP), who called the proposal "unconstitutional," and said the Elections Board was required to handle such campus-wide votes. Hays him self was the author of the other pending referendum resolution, RW-37-1, introduced by Bob Wil son (SP). He said he wanted to see a vote on the issue, but "a referendum is a referendum is a referen dum," and to buck the Student Constitution would be an error. Chuck Neely (SP), argued strongly for the "poll," saying "the study body is at present estranged from its Student Gov ernment, and this issue is one reason for their displeasure. They are clamoring for an opportunity to be heard on the civil rights issue." Bob Wilson (SP), joined Hays in opposition, referring again to the statements by Spearman and Aycock, both of whom had called a referendum "virtually impos sible." Akers agreed that a "referen dum" could not be held due to technicalities, but that a. "poll" could be administered by May 15. The vote to bring the bill to the floor was overwhelmingly in favor, 29-7. Akers Makes Proposals Akers submitted to the body a series of amendments to his res olution which, by substituting "poll" for referendum" in the wording would, he said, remove the issue from the Election Board's jurisdiction. He offered an amendment which would instruct President Spearman to call upon the Com munications Committee to con duct the special poll. Other types of polls on student opinion are commonly handled by this committee. Akers also asked that the bal lot boxes currently under the auspices of the Elections Board (Continued on Page 3) y?y 4 mmmmm Com FUN, Today is the day!

The 3 More Students Sentence For Falsifying Class Rolls Three more students received probation sentences for falsifying class rolls in Men's Honor Coun cil trials Thursday night. The case brought the total to seven convictions out of the same one class One student had been seen motivating friends to sign him in leading to the charging of six more students in volved in similar activities. In other trials Thursday, two students were suspended for one semester tor plagiarism in" two separate cases, and another stu dent was found innocent of a Campus Code charge.

The friend did so, not thinking that he was doing anything of any consequence. When the teacher called the roll orally at the end of the class trying to catch the man who had been seen earlier, the two students he had signed in were discovered to be absent. T.ie student went right away to the teacher to admit what he had done. He turned himself in to a former Honor Council mem ber afterwards. The other two students turned themselves in immediately after finding out what had happened.
