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

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

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? Etc?(
What price "crime"? t

Sen. Rusty Burress voted to adjourn.

rose to declare the Senate should not a

Yet, it has not been able to become a

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.
