battles which were on the menu o
bad to withstand the tortures of

LEGISLATIVE PROP(
Student 4
First Cor
Student Council in two meetings
this past week* nearly completed
the first reading of the proposals I
for the legislative branch of gov- I
ernment in the new constitution. I
Council worked on the proposals
at its regular 'meeting at 5 p.m.
on Monday as well as at a special
meeting on Wednesday night at
7:80 in addition to its other bus
mess.
The sections of the constitution
which were passed lart week were
published in the previous issue of I
The Gamecock. This, however, is i
the first reading and all sections I
are subject to change during the <
second and third readings. I
Those sections passed during the t
last week read as follows:
Section 8
Only elected delegates of the
Student Legislature will be al
lowed to serve in the legislature.
No proxys, substitutes or alter
nates may act in the place of a
delegate.
Section 9
If passed by a majority of the I
legislature, signed by the student I
body president, and not vetoed by
the president of the University 6
within ten working days after pas
sage, a bill becomes law.
In order for a bill to become a
law over the veto of the student
body president, it is necessary for
the legislature to pass it by a two
thirds majority.

Following a request by Student
Council, the administration has

Shortening the graduation exer'- t
Cites by having the graduates stand
at their chair to be recognized in- t
Stead of the old system of having1
each graduate receive his degreei
on~ the platform.
Student President Bob McNair
ini his weekly talk with Acting r
Pesaident Robert L. Sumwalt had I
Rplained the student opiniorn on I
the matter and Dr. Sumwalt re- r
Ported to him that the student re- t
qu~est wouldj be granted.
President McNair reported that I
the administration was seriously
COensidering allowing students in r
adIanced courses to have unlim- I
it5d absences. Dr. Sumwalt told
lNair that the issue would be e
eO~ upon at a meeting of the a

ure. The original request which is
generally more than the Budget

lows was cut down to its present
figure of slightly over three mil
lion by the Budget and Control
Board.
The present figure has been ap

bers from the House and three

year the state has appropriated
$628 per student attending the
University. Student tuition is ap
proximately $310 a year or almost
