Editorials ( Commentary Friday, October 27, 1967So Point Of Pers There were a group of student senators who wanted to accomplish something Wed nesday. They weren't allowed to do it. They weren't allowed to do it because some of their fellow legislators were not willing to continue their session long enough to accomplish their purpose as elected repre sentatives. Senate conducted itself w,ll for almost an hour and a half at this week's meeting. Then someone moved adjournment with four bills and a highly important committee appointment remaining on the calendar. Sen. Dick Goldie proposed an amendment to postpone adjournment for about 20 min utes. The amendment failed. But the motion to adjourn immediately received a majority vote. Then Sen. Bob Salane asked a roll call vote and received the necessary one-fifth vote to record each senator's ballot. When the legislators had to go on record as to which way they voted, a number semed to have an attack of conscience, for they changed their ballot to no. Adjourn ment failed. But the group who wanted to leave were not satisfied when their parliamentary maneuver was defeated. Once more adjourn ment was called. This time it passed. An hour had elapsed between the time the first adjournment was asked and the time Senate adjourned. We do not assert that every senator who voted yes on adjournment is unwilling to perform his duties, that he is unwilling to devote less than two hours per week to his part in Student Government. But we suggest that each senator who did vote yes take a look in the nearest mir ror and find out what his motives are as a student representative. We further suggest that each responsible member of the student body seek out his An Impor Wednesday will be an important (lay for all of Carolina--a day whose true signifi cance can only be recorded by future gen erations. Two men will make it important: Dr. Price Of Crime A Camolina male student has a soft dIrink bottle in his room. If dliscovered, he will be sent to studly hall. Hie may not have made his bed for the day (or night, if the counselor comes in at the wr)ng time) anid, if (discovered, he will be sen.t to study hiall. We fiad this ridiculous. It seems that at this instittio:n of higher learning, the price of "crime" is being reqluiredl to learn. Or at least make a pretense at studying for a given number of hours each week.t Would it not be more fitting if for a messy room a studlent were assigned to a cleaning (detail?

Sen. Rusty Burress voted to adjourn. few minutes later, when the question of a journment came around the second time, l rose to declare the Senate should not a journ because a resolution praising ti football team for their victory over Virgin was still on the calendar. However, the most important item business left on the calendar was to g Sen. Lorraine Wolfe approved as chairma of the General Welfare Committee. This committee has a number of impo tant bills before it for investigation now. Yet, it has not been able to become a effective body because it must first con plete its inner organization. Someone even thought of a way to get ti Appointment brought up before adjouri ment could pass. A rules suspension wa asked so that the appointment might I nmoved up on the calendar and considere immediately. But rules suspension requires unanimot onsent, and one senator objected. So another Senate meeting ended withot naximum effectiveness and with man senators thoroughly disgusted. Sen. Wolfe expressed her feeling on t me-hour wrangling on adjournment whe he asked to leave the chambers: "I ou trew circuses long ago." And, it cannot be denied, despite th iighly laudable efforts of presiding office Denny Royal to maintain order in chao: iVednesday's meeting resembled a circus a :oo much. There were some senators who wanted t iccomplish something. They initiated the chaos-for a commenn ible end. We wish they had taken mor rare to communicate their aims to the Ser ite at large. Perhaps it would have made lifference. Perhaps not. We can only hope each senator can fin :he resolve before the next meeting to c< )perate with his fellow legislators to achiev n effective Senate. tant Day :eese Berryhill, dean of the School of Med 'ine at the University of North Carolin, md I)r.
