When It Rains (Continued from page 7) nd on. All it takes to find a job self-confidence and persistence. Travel is always a big item for ummer's past-time. "Far away laces" are annually drawing more nd more American tourists, and large percent of these are col ?ge students. Most people go to ourope - what a wonderful time hat must be! - and most go on ours. Many of tne summer tours re constructed with young people ni mind, and the travelers seem o enjoy themselves. Have you ver read Our Hearts Were Young nd Gay by Cornelia Otis Skinner .nd Emily Kimborough? Well, lear reader, for amusing reading bou two girls loose in Europe, it s. isn't it? Perhaps this is why )arents of today send their chil Iren on tours. Europe is not the mnly place to draw tourists. Caro ina students are going all over 3ou'h America and the U.

CHOICE OF EN'TRI CHaRCoa ou BUTTERED BUN, FRENCH IN TOWN THAT 1111 LADY STREET TODD WILSON Student Senate Seeks Approval On New Constitution Last week we presented our Student Senators a copy :f the proposal for our new student body constitution. At the time we asked each of them to study very carefully the various points and to evaluate each of them as thoroughly as possible. Each is to present viewpoints to strengthen the document and to make it as clear as possible. Already we have received several suggestions, some of which are quite good. We anticipate many more. Let me urge each of you to read through the proposal and let us know of any suggestions that you may have, either before or at the Constitutional Convention which will be held in the very near future. Let me repeat that this is by far the most important issue to be presented to the student body in quite some time. It is definitely a step in the right direc tion. In last week's paper I attempted to present you with some of the more important issues and to explain a little about each of the.m. Most of all, this new proposal opens the way to a more efficient student government as it divides and clarifies the duties of the various officers and establishes channels of operations. These are sorely lacking at the pres ent time. Anyone desiring a copy of the old constitution is wel come to one if he or she will see me at any time during the week. There is considerable change. and we shall be happy to explain the reasons for each. Since considerable comment has already been made con cerning the judicial system of this new proposal, perhaps it would be beneficial if I explained the reasons for making it as it is. The Board of Trustees of the University have dele gated all disciplinary matters to the Disciplinary Committee (faculty members with one student). This body, in turn, has delegated the minor offenses to the Dean of Students who delegates them to the Dean of 'Men or Women as the case may be. Any matter which is punishable by suspension can be handled only by the disciplinary committee; all others may be handled through the office of the Dean of Students. We at Carolina have never actually had any form of judicial power outside of the honor system to my knowledge. We cannot expect miracles and take over in one year. First, we must prove that we are responsible to handle such matters. It is only then that we can pave the way for a more effective system. Under the proposed plan, the members of the bodies shall be appointed by the Dean of Students, after consultation with the President of the Student Body. (This is as the Discipline Committee wished it for a beginning.) Generally the Presidents of the classes shall be on the men's council (provided the class president is not a girl) and the president" of the various girls' dormitories shall usually serve on the women's council. In the past these officers have not functioned and have served in name only. Now they will have responsibility, and all of us can benefit from this addition. It is certainly needed. The bodies will serve as advisors to the proper Dean of Men or Women with an actual recommendation for a punishment if someone is found guilty. It is our opinion that students oftentimes have an in sight into a number of violations that faculty members can never know. The appeals are included mer-ely as "due process 3f law." Every school is subject to this type of provision and it is indeed necessary. I hope that this clears up a number of your questions, but I am sure that there are some more, and we welcome them. This judicial proposal, in my mind, is not the ideal situation, but it is a compromise which is best for us at the present time. We must prove our ability to have responsibility be tore any other steps can be taken. This is a natural process and can be speeded more by our willingness to accept this challenge. In conclusion, let .me once again say that quite a bit of hard work has gone into the proposal, and we really believe it to be the best thing for our student body and student government as a whole. I am confident there will be tmor changes before election day, but the framework will remain as you see it printed. Read it carefully; make suggestions; but more than any other thing, give it your full support to influence your friends who have the good of Carolina at heart; and then finally go out and vote "yes" for the new proposal.
