OF PROPOSED CO1
Student
Plans eft
Student Council at its meetin
Monday debated the proposals <
the Constitutional Revisions Con
mittee on the judicial branch c
government.
The proposal of the committe
of which John G. Altman, vic4
president of the student body, i
chairman is this: "The presider
shall appoint seven competent an
qualified students to the Studer
Court, thee of whom shall be froi
the Law School, including th
Chief Justice."
The point was raised that ther
was no provision in the proposs
for appointments to be confirme
by the legislative branch of go1
ernment.
Council voted that a two-third
vote of the legislative branch unde
the new government would b
needed for confirmation of aj
pointmnents.
The second proposal for the jr
dicial branch states that "Th
Court shall hear and determine a
matters of student discipline an
honor; which actions shall be ir
stituted by ~the Attorney General.
Questions were raised as to tt
power of the proposed Attorne
General and Mr. Altman made
plain. that the Attorney Genera
should serve only as a processor c
breaches of the honor principi
and not an arbiter who could pei
form special services for hi
friends.
Council voted to investigate sel
ting up a scholarship fund in merw
ory of past President and Mrn
Donald S. Russell. The ideas c
having their portraits painted an
of presenting them with some ma
terial token were rejected.
Council voted that the scholai
ship, if set up, should be a oni
year award instead of a four-yea
scholarship in order to be avail
able to more students.

a wish from the students of the
University by action of the Stu

"There are no words to tell the
Student Body of Carolina of our
appreciation for those magnificent
red roses and the card that tells
us that you miss us. Our hearts are
full to overflowing with gratitude
for all that the Student Body has
meant to us during these last six
years-six years that have been
the happiest of our lives and years
that will always live in our hearts
as our greatest blessing-giving
us the joy of living with you on the
Carolina campus. The card we are
framing. The thought is forever
in our hearts.
"We miss you-each of you. We
love you devotedly-and always
you are children dear to the Rus
sells."

Hunting Saga
To End All
Fish Stories
Storming the forest primeval
at Scape Ore Swamp in Lee
County this past Saturday, a
safari of Pi Kappa Phi's inad
vertently succeeded in returning
from a hunt loaded with game
even though they weren't hunt
ing.
Through employment of a
deadly weapon not often used
for the purposes of the hunt, one
brother managed to bag a deer
while his companions added one
squirrel, one fox and 19 quail to
the day's bag.
The "Deerslayer" wanted to
send a wire back to frat row
reading, "We have met the
enemy and they are ours; one
deer, one fox . . . ," but he was
overruled by his envious com
panions who claimed that it was
a clear case of "Stagicide."
Oh, yes! Maybe the reader is
wondering what instrument of
destruction was so effectively
employed. NO, it wasn't a gun,
slingshot, crossbow, bow and ar
row or even the leftovers from
the bologna and cheese lunch
that the hunters consumed the
day of the slaughter. What it
was, gentle readers, was one
little ol' cotton pickin' automo
bile which got a bit "shook up"
during the expedition.

The change will be effective
irn from Christmas vacation.
The new boxes will he perma
nent and they will be assigned
only to students living on campus.
Students are reminded to notify
all publishers and correspondents
of the change.
The notice explains that the
new boxes will be assigned in al
phabetical order rather than by
room assignments. The reason
for this, explains Joe Lawrence,
University postmaster, is that the
present system is inefficient in a
school the size of Carolina. Last
year representatives from the
University while visiting several
other schools to study their postal
systems adopted the present sys
tem.
Previous System
In January the University will
return to the system used in previ
ous years of listing the names in
alphabetical order. According to
Lawrence, the post office em
ployees will work during the
Christmas holidays to prepare for
the conversion.
Notices should have been re
ceived by all students including
their name, new and old box
numbers, and a card bearing the
new combination.
Any mistakes in combination, or
non-delivery of expected mail
should be reported to the post of
fice, Lawrence added.
