Bell, in a pre pared speech, cited a number of reasons why the Carolina Student Council should withdraw from the N. S. A. He cited the fact that council pays $100 in dues to the NSA each year and has received no tangible results this year except a visit from one person who offered "trips to Europe at a rate which can be gotten anywhere else." He cited the fact that council spent $400 to sponsori delegates to their convention at Ann Arbor, Michigan, and that no tangible re sults have been obtained from that trip. He cited three resolutions which were passed at that national con vention, urging integration in the nation's colleges and denouncing segregation as being unconstitu tional, and urging steps to be taken to bring more control of fra ternities and sororities under the auspices of the NSA. For these and other reasons which Bell cited in his speech, he moved that the University should withdraw from-the N. S. A. De bate will begin at Monday's meet ing. President's Inauguration Council was informed that for mal inauguration of student coun cil presidents will henceforth be held at a Spring Presidents' Ban quet sponsored by the Omicron Delta Kappa, honorary leadership fraternity. The banquet will be held this year at the end of April or the first of May. hedule4 Russell House dining room at the University and a reception is planned for 6 p.m. tonight at the Columbia Hotel. A panel discussion on practical problems in evidence will be held Saturday morning. J.

Loan Fund Sinclair Lewis, council member in charge of the Donald Russell Loan Fund, announced that con tributions to the fund have ex ceeded $250 and has been depos ited in the treasurer's office. A motion was passed by council several weeks ago that as soon as $200 was obtained that the loan fund should be put into effect. May Day Dance Carroll Teague, student chair man for the May Day Dance, an nounced that the dance will be held at the Memorial Youth Cen ter on May 6.

Founded 1908 Today 3 Majority "or Passage i students will vote for or w constitution which is being y by the Student Council will ive today on the ground floor , Is majority vote from the stu dent body is needed for ratifi cation. Once the constitution is ratified by the students it would then be submitted to the faculty for ap proval. If approved by the faculty, it would then go into effect on April 16. Whether or not the con stitution is ratified, elections will be held on the appointed date with run-offs on April 18. The new constitution provides that the jurisdiction of the Su preme Court, which would replace the Honor Board, shall extend only to those areas approved by the Administration; the student government would have no power over the Disciplinary Committee. The student government would, by this constitution, have two ma jor powers which would have di rect bearing on other campus or ganizations. The first of these is the allocation of student activities fees; the other, the power to grant charters to organizations to au thorize them to function on cam pus.
