U. S.-Foreign SchooDorsey's Band (.... 8 > .) Tomorrow - (See page 5) UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA -------- CROWING FOR A GREATER CAROLINA . XLVI, No. 2 COLUMBIA, SOUTH CAROLINA9 FEBRUARY 2& 1958 .. "Council 1 ExecutivE Student Council at its meeting Monday afternoon passed the first reading of the proposals for the executive branch of goveiiment under the new constitution with out changing a word. Much debate was held, however, before council passed the proposals. In addition to having the first .reading of the proposals 'for the executive branch, council completed the first reading of the proposals for the legislative branch which had extended over several meet ings. The proposals for the executive branch are as follows: The Executive Section 1. The executive department shall consist of the president, vice-presi dent, secretary and treasurer of the student body, the cabinet, and specifically appointed committee chairmen. Section 2. The duties and powers of the president are: He shall act as official represen tative of the student body in all matters pertaining to the students. He shall be responsible for the presentation of all bills and reso. lutions to the legislature which are proposed by any executive agency. He may participate in debate in the legislature but will not be allowed to vote. He may call special meetings of the legislature. He may appoint any person to act as a non-voting ex-efficio member of any legislative com mittee. He may call and preside over meetings of the student body. He may veto any bills passed by the legislature. He may cause to be issued by the treasurer any check which shall not exceed ten dollars ($10.00) which he may require in the per formance of courtesies in the name of the Student Body Government, and he shall present a statement of all such checks for post-approval by the legislature. He may choose an advisory cabi net consisting of as many officers with suitable titles as he sees fit. The members of the cabinet must be approved by the legislature but shall hold office at the discretion of the president. He shall address the legislature at least once each semester on stu Stunt 1N Fraternities Disappoint Reviewer By NOB TALBERT Staff Writer I could have stayed home on' Tuesday night and watched tele vision. Instead I went to the fraternity Stunt Night and saw a television of sorts. It was in livid color, live from Drayton Hall. There was no program, no mas ter of ceremonies until after the Intermission, no timing and very little talent or originality. There were no commercials, but they Would have been something to kill the dead pauses between skits. You ea take only so many cigarette The IPC sponsored this show. I don't know why, but they did. It was very evident the $50 fine for failure to put on a skit weighed heavily on the fraternities. For tome, $50 would have been a cheap Price to pay for saving face. For four hours, fraternity Stunt ight commte suicide. The bad Paffr is .hey made the audience Last year'8 winner--Sigma Nu decided not to kick a winner. So tey draped almost an entire chap teni costumes and paraded them, nehed them and stood them all *Over the stage in a skit entitled Balboa. Last year their skit was Xellent, well-plotted and ar )ebates i Branch dent affairs and may recommend legislation that he deems necessary. The two sections of the proposals for the legislative branch of gov ernment which were not passed at previous meetings were approved in council Monday. They read as follows: Section 11. All officers of the Student Body Government charged with non feasance, gross misfeasance or malfeasance in their offical ca pacities may be impeached and if found guilty of such charge shall be removed from office. Furthermore, if a student body officer is guilty of any crime or found to be guilty of any conduct which would reflect dishonor upon the University, he may be removed by impeachment proceedings. Impeachment proceedings may be started by any student by filing complaint with the secretary of the Student Body Government specifying the charge, and signed by the complainant. The secretary must refer the complaint to the legislature at its next meeting. A special committee of respresenta tives shall be appointed to investi gate and to be responsible for the prosecution. During impeachment proceedings, the legislature shall act as a court to try the accused. An affirmative vote of three-quar ters of the full membership of the legislature shall be necessary for the removal of any officer so im peached. Section 18. Any student organization with the exception of Inter-Fraternity Council, Pan-Hellenic Council, na tional or local social fraternities and sororities, and those organiza tions which are chartered by the State of South Carolina, must be granted a charter by the Studeit Legislature in order to function at the University. * * * The provision in Section 18 of the Legislative proposals providing the exemption of those organiza tions chartered by the State of South Carolina thereby exempts the Euphradian Society and the Clariosophic Literary Society. All the sections which were passed on the first reading are subject to change in the second and third readings of the Consti tution. tl Fight Lii of people, but why? Sigma Chi decided to do a parody on the sorority drop-in. It was supposed to ridicule the campus social life. For a time it succeeded, but it was a short time. It did manage to wind up ridiculing the performers and laughing at those in the audience who were laughing at those on the stage they knew. Some sort of parody was next about the cotton gin of George Washington Carver. The Kappa Sigmas did this skit. The curtain was closed for a full two minutes before they got started. It should have closed a full three minutes before they were through. Phi Epsilon P1 . produced some jazz on Shakespeare's Julius Cae sar. I wonder If the Shakespearean actors read their lines, also? Well, they killed Caesar and about every thing else they could find. I hope the burial is pretty. Sigma Phi Epsilon attempted to parody a poem by Mr. Vachell Lindsey. They succeeded in using the word nigguh approxImately 20 times. The word nigguh is only funny once and then sometimes It 1sn't. This time It wasn't. I don't think Mr. Lindsey was kidding when he wrote The Congo. The, SPE's were when they rewrote it. Kid ding themselves. The Chi Psi group came up with a take-off on the television show To Tell The Truth. It ripped one Mr. Blackie Kincaid apart. This was a timely skit, but bad as Kin caid's housing rules seem, they weren't worth an entire show. This was still one of the better shows. Graduation A GOOF SMELLED . . . Typical of the entries in Fraternity S above from the Chi Psi stunt. It was a take-off on the television entitled "To Smell The Goof." The panel consisted of four persor the three "contestants" was actually Blackie Kinkhead. After mf voted unanimously that the middle contestant was the right one, wrong for the gentleman on the far right was the true Blackie K review of Fraternity Stunt Night can he found on this page.

Virginia Program During his years as president of the University of Virginia, Mr. Darden has worked to enlarge its physical plant and to strengthen its program for teaching and re search. His aim has been to estab lish the University of Virginia even more firmly in the place where its founder, Thomas Jeffer son, wanted it to be: as the cap ,stone of the public education in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
