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.

An effeetive stu- dent opinion poll would be important in determining student interest on new plans that will affect us all 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 Trogden, Summers Seek VP Office KEN TROGDEN Ken Trogden, a psychology major from Hope Mills, is running for the position of vice pvessxssBst of the SGA. Ken was a sophomore class Sena- tor, and he also served on the elec- tions committee, and was on the ihomecoming committee. He has held the position of vice president of Theta Chi Fraternity for the past years, and hag been a representative to the ICC. Ken has also been a member of the EC swimming team for two years. While in high school he was the president of the junior and sen- ior classes. Merle Summers, a Business Major from Raleigh, N. C, is also vieing for the office of vice president of the SGA. Merle has served as reporter for the SGA, and he worked as publicity chairman for the 1960 Homecoming MERI.E SIMMERS Committee. He has served on various J-GA Committees and was a State Vfcudent Legislature Representative to Raleigh this year. He served on the ring committee, and has worked closely with Jim Speight this year.

Foils will be open from 9 until 4:80 p.m. .tomorrow. 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.

MARCH Presiaent Speight Reviews Past Year's Accomplishments Organization Aids Members; Senate Seeks Entrance (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 Candidates Aware Of Responsibilities Key Problem Next Year; SGA Constitution BARBARA SCHWAB . . .unopposed DON GRAZIANO . . unopposed for DOUG ROBINSON a candidate for chairman of the Women's Judi- the position of chairman of the Men's for the position of vice chairman of iary- Judiciary. the Men's Judiciary.

She at- 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 tended the last meeting this year at Lenoir Rhyne College. "In the future the NSSGA will probably grow into a much stronger organization to serve as a meeting place to bring colleges closer to- gether and a place where students can present problems concerning their own Student Government Asso- ciation said Speight, adding, "stu- dents will exchange ideas to streng- then their own SGA and at the same time learn a great deal about local and State Government This organization gives the stu- dent a chance to get on his feet and pxpress himself. This is valuable training for the student and should be considered as an integral part of the students education concluded Speight. were given the opportunity to dis membershiP tside the conference cuss problems with the top news analysts in the nation. NSA is pres- enty planning to sponsor a confer- ence in Washington soon to discuss the Kennedy Peace Corps. NSA was organized believing that this large body of people known as students had a common bond. Through NSlA the STUDENTS can voice their opin- ions, in political, social, and other as- pects NSA assists individual schools in such projects as communications, cur- riculum study and discount service.

A Berkshire Typewriter Paper BATON PAPER CORPORATION SIS. PITT9FIELO, MASS. 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. For the first time, this year, home- coming was carried out with the theme, "Let's go To Homecoming on TV Rules and regulations were set up for which floats and dorm dec- orations would be judged. These were mailed out to each organization.
