candidate for
the students of East Carolina and
with the coming of this years elec-
tion the staff feels that the students
should obtain a short sketch of its
purpose and workings.
The Legislature is an organization
which is undertaken completely by
students and is very similar in na-
ture to our state form of govern-
nnit. Through this organization par-
ticipating students loam much about
the procedure used in formulating
our state laws and other kinds of
sigiskurrm "In the past East Caro-
ina College has not been as active
as we probably would like to have
been stated Jim Speight, president
the SGA, "due to unforeseen cir-
cumstances. However, East Carolina
did have a successful delegation at
the li60 December meeting
The meetings of the state Student
Legislature are conducted at the
North Carolina State Capital in Ra-
leigh. The organization uses both the
House and Senate chambers. Partici-
bers and Senate members, according
to the number of members allocated
in each house.
At the beginning of each regular
meeting the speaker of the house,
.speaker of the senate and speaker
protem of each house, are elected.
Parliamentarian of each house are
appointed. This year East Carolina's
Barney West was elected to the posi-
tion of a eaker Protem of the Senate
and Raymond Gillikin received the
appointment of Parliamentarian of
the House of Representatives
Participating schools draw up vari-
i as bills and resolutions to present
first in the House which then goes
to the Senate in the same manner as
in our state and national govern-
ments.
At ETC delegates who are con-
sidered capable are sent to these
meetings. "They are the caliber of
people who will not only contribute
to the meetings, but will bring back
the information learned at these
meetings explained Mr. Speight.
Raymond Gillikin, a business ma-
jor from Beaufort, is also running
for the presidency of the S.G.A. Ray-
mond is historian of the Kappa Al-
pha Order and a member of the Oan-
tebury Club.
If elected Rayirnond will strive for
the following revisions and imnrove-
mjents for EC:
1. Recognition of honor students.
"I am looking into the possibilities
of having more honorary fraterni-
ties, such as Phi Beta Kappa, which
will indicate to the honor students
that steps are being taken to provide
for the recognition due them. We are
proud of our honor students and
wish to create incentive to have more
of them
2. More student representation on
the Enturtainiment Committee. "In
that the Entertainment committee is
to provide entertainment especially
for the students I don't see why
more students aren't representative
of the committee. Ait present, I feel
is if the entertainment series is too
representative of one group. Maybe
a poll could be taken to find out the
entertainment that the students want
and will enjoy
3. Revision of the Student Gov-
ernment Constitution. "Not only are
there several unclear and contra-
dictory statements, but there are
phases not adequately covered by the
constitution
4. Discount for students from down
town merchants. "Knowing the large
expense involved in attending col-
lege, I don't see why some system
couldn't be set up whereby the stu-
dents would receive a discount for
purchases from the merchants, even
though it be small
5. Later hours for girls on spe-
cial occasions.
6. Drive-in mail deposits placed at
strategic locations on campus.
7. More telephones in the womens
dormitories.
8. Publicize all elections on cam-
pus more highly.
Since coming to EC Raymond has
held various .positions of importance,
:uch as Freshman and Sophomore
Class President, Parliamentarian of
the Senate, EC's representative at

WOODY SHEPHERD
In an effort to arouse the Stu-
dent Body's interest in the cur-
rent election and SGA activities,
the Association of Student Po-
lemics is sponsoring a debate on
campaign issues to be aired over
campus radio tonight beginning at
7 KM) p.m. This is part of a ASP
program to formulate a well-
informed Student Body.
J. Alfred Willis, who will be
one of the ASP panel members,
stated, "The debate would aid
in defining the issues of the cam-
paign so as to give the student
a choice between the candidates.
The ASP is of the opinion that
an ill-informed Student Body
makes for an apathetic student
government since student pres-
sure groups and student opinions
cannot be brought to bear on the
SGA. This leaves the student
government to the devices and
self-interest of its executives and
its legislators.
B. Telson Willis, Jr. and David
Smith, who will also participate
on behalf of the ASP, stressed,
"It is up to the students to evoke
a conscientious SGA. We nrge
co-operation by mailing questions
to box 1527 ECC or contacting
either one of us, and, most of
all, listen to the debate tonight

Debate Fever Hits
In Midst Of Spring
College Elections
(UPS)-The "Great Debate" fevor
has hit several campuses in the midst
o student body elections this spring.
At the University of North Caro-
'ina, the possibility of having a "Se-
vier-Hwrriss" television debate simi-
rr to the Nixon-Kennedy debates is
"asing much comment among sru-
lent (politicians. Sevier and Harriss
re candidates for student body pres-
ident.
While not yet at the television
stage, the University of Texas held
its "Great Debate" last Tuesday in
a University auditorium. The debate
between the three candidates for
president of the Student Association
opened with statements by each, fol-
lowed by cross-examination by each
of the other two. A period of ques-
tions from the audience followed.
Commenting on the possibility of
using television debates on the cam-
pus, the North Carolina Daily Tar
Heel states: "The television format
has its limitations, of course. It en-
courages glibness instead of concen-
trated thought, and it imposes a
timelimitation that often cuts short
debate before it has really begun to
make sense
But, says the paper, television is
capable of reaching every student on
campus at the same time. The editor-
ial suggested that television debates
could be used to discuss major cam-
pus problems where all students need
to hear outspoken discussion.

(Editor's noteNSA is an organi-
zation with which ooir student gov-
ernment has been associated in the
past in presenting the following facts
and questions concerning NSA, we
hope to enlighten the student body
to the pros and cons of belonging
to this confederation.)
The United States National Stu-
dent Association is a confederation
of student governments from schools
across the United States. The organi-
zation benefits the member schools
in many ways, the most helpful of
which is the mutual exchange of
ideas between member schools. This
is brought about by services provided
in the NSA framework. One ex
aiiniple of this is the University Press
Service, which works much on the
order of a wire service except that
the news is only collegiate news from
member schools. It is sent out daily
in mimeographed form to each mem-
ber school's newspaper at a very low
(.ost. Most of the expenses are paid
by N&A
Through NSA colleges and uni-
versities receive information to
strengthen their individual student
governments and also receive sup-
port from NSA should a college take
1 stand against a local issue or prob-
lem involving the college or univer-
sity?
Many people have asked the ques-
tion "Why isn't E.C.C. a member of
NSA at the present time?"
There has been talk lately of E.C.C.
joining NSA again. But before we do
there are questions that should be
answered. We were a member at one
time. Why did we dop c? Other
large schools have dropped out. What
were their reasons? What enefit did
East Carolina College receive by be-
ing a member of NSA? How much
does it cost to be a member? If we
joined again what could we expect
to gain in the future?
The NSA members share ideas in
regional and in national conferences.
They pay expenses for students to
study problems which are common
to all schools. They sponsor confer-
ences such as the Foreign affairs
conference which was held in New
York recently in conjunction with
the overseas press club. At this
particular conference student editors

the North State Conference. Its pur-
pose originally was to cope with
problems concerning only the schools
in the North State Conference. Soon
adlter its beginning other schools
outside the conference, who had en-
rollments similar to schools that were
already members, were invited to at-
tend the meetings, although they
were without full voting powers on
legislation. Finally, many of the out-
side schools and some of the confer-
ence member schools felt that mem-
bership with full voting powers
should be extended to other schools
outside the conference. There were
numerous questions and debates re-
garding extended membership be-
cause many of the schools felt that
the organization would be dominated
by the larger schools, and this would
also leave the door wide open for any
school to join, whether the organi-
zation wanted them or not. It was
felt, too, that the name NSSGA
would have to be changed because it
would no longer include just the
schools in the North State Confer-
ence. However, the change was made,
and the problems were worked out.
The organization still retained the
name of NSSGA and allows member-
ships outside the conference with full
voting powers. Schools applying for
membership are left to the discre-
tion of the organization.
"East Carolina College was very
much concerned with the problem of

Lenoir Rhyne College.
"In the future the NSSGA will
probably grow into a much stronger
organization to serve as a meeting

ciation said Speight, adding, "stu-
dents will exchange ideas to streng-

time learn a great deal about local

In reference to the oncoming elec-
tions Jim Speight, SGA president,
stated this week, "I feel that we
have people running for key offices
this year that are well aware of the
responsibilities that will be facing
them in 1961-62. Mr. Gillikin and
Mr. Strother are well versed and
both have shown enthusiastic inter-
est in the past, concerning student
pi'ob.ems. Their leadership abaWty
lhas been exemplified through their
participation in campus activities and
both did an outstanding job this
year at the State Student Legislature.
I feel confident that either of these
men will be able to shoulder the re-
sponsibilities of the office
Jim further commented One of
the big problems that I feel will con-
front the next administration is our
SGA constitution which needs re-
vision. Part of the constitution has
been amended and revised this past
year.
This past year the student hand-
book was taken from the By Laws of
the SGA constitution and placed un-
der the publications board. The
Handbook committee was deleted
from the bylaws of our constitution.
It was decided that, because of the
tremendous growth of our student
body and increasing complexity of
the handbook, an editorship was need-
ed. "The SGA felt that a respon-
sible editor would have more incen-
tive to get the job done than an ap-
pointed handbook chairman noted
Speight
This year an amendment provid-
ing for the right of appeal of judi-
cial decisions was passed by the Sen-
ate and student body.

coming was carried out with the
