By Preside Editor's Note: Student Body President Bob McNair answered the following questions submitted by students during the last week concerning the proposed consti tution which the student body will vote on today. Question: If the student body ratifies the constitution, will this be the final approval needed? Answer: The constitution, if ratified by the student body, will then be presented to the faculty at its next meeting for their ap proval. If approved by the faculty, the constitutional will then be in force. Q.: What will happen to the Honor Principle (presently it ap plies only to the classroom)? A.: Once the constitution has been approved, the Carolina honor principle will be abolished. How ever, if the student body desires to have' its coverage extended, legislation can be introduced to that effect. Or students can also incorporate the present system per se. Q.: What will happen to the status of the Disciplinary Com mittee? A.: It will remain unchanged since the constitution provides that the jurisdiction of the Su preme Court shall extend only to those areas approved by the Ad ministration. The Administration has not approved the student jurisdiction in disciplinary cases and will not do so in the near future. However, the framework to handle disciplinary cases has been provided for in the consti tution. Q.: The new constitution has been said to closely resemble the federal and state governments. A.: No, the system has proved itself to be highly effective at TASTED STEAK PEfTE YOU TRY OUR OWN PAMOUS - STE grees r798 for' their Bachelor of Science degrees in Pharmacy. Qne student has applied for his Fine Arts certificates and 40 have applied for their certificates In Secretarial Science. Six applications for a Master of Arts degree, 23 applications for a Master of Education degree, and five applications for a Master of Science degree are listed. Five students have applied for a Doctor of Philosophy degree. DUSSED Answered nt McNair other universities of comparable size and disposition. We also feel that it is a means of familiarizing the student with the working of his government on state and fed eral levels. Q.: What powers under the new constitution can student govern ment exercise which would di rectly effect other campus organ izations ? A.: Two major powers of stu dent government will be to allo cate student activities fees pand grant charters to organizations in order that they function on campus. (With exception of IFC, Pan Hellenic, National or local social fraternities and sororities, and those organizations chartered by the state.) Q.: By creating a speaker of the legislature (elected from legislature by representatives) will the powers of the President of the student body be lessened? A.: We feel that the president of the student body is an executive position. Under the new constitu tion the president will be free to exercise his powers and duties without being burdened by many routine matters. * * * It is the opinion of student council that this proposed struc tural change and the addition of specific powers is direly needed in order to further the aims of S. G. and allow it to progress with the University. A tremendous amount of effort has been expended and much re search has been done in order to formulate this document. We sin cerely hope that each student will give his utmost consideration to this constitution and cast his vote. We, the members of your student council, urge the ratification of this constitution.

Among these is the opening date of the new Library. It is scheduled to be completed by March 1, 1959, and should be available to stu dents in order that they may study for their final exams in the luxurious comfort of this air-con ditioned library.

This team will compete in the West Point National 'lournament against 31 other- 'teams. Thirteen debate teams partic ipated in the preliminaries. Those teams had been selected as- the best, in District 6, which includes nine southeastern states. The top four teams of the district were selected and these will go to West Point for the national finals on April 24, 25, and 26. At the tour nament the first three places were determined in three rounds of debating; three other rounds were then required to break a five-place tie for fourth place. Only one other tournament has been placed on 'the agenda of' the debate team before the West Point Finals. This is the national Tau Kappa Alpha Tournament, which will take place at the University of Kentucky, with the same two debaters from the University par ticipating.
