Applications for president must be in by April 3. Another amendment was passed to define active members. It classifies students who have served on union committees or the Executive Board for at least thirty days and members of the Board of Governors, constitutional officers, admi-istrative- assistants and committee chairmen as active union members. The decision came after one and a half month's discussion by the Union Excutive Board. At least four constitutional amendments were formerly proposed. The amendment which passed was proposed oy a Board of Governor's sub-committee set up to study all the proposals. Scottie Barnes, Union vice president and member of this sub committee, said, "We considered all the proposals and this combines two or three parts from different ones. We considered the proposals separately and then put this together.

House of epresentatives yesterday, only )n presidentj Senate By DON BABB Staff Writer Student Senate "strongly isagreed" Wednesday with the Jniversity Union's recently passed dan for internal selection of the Jnion president. Senate, meeting for over four iours, also overrode a presidential eto, expressed concern for better >olice protection around Bates louse, and considered portions of he proposed new student con titution. Late in the meeting Sen Eric Vyka asked for a chance to speak in an "unrelated but serious natter." Wyka directed his remarks igainst the decision by the Jniversity Union Board of lovernors to restrict the election of the Union president. The Board ias ruled that only "active nembers" of the Union will have he privilege to elect the president. Wyka, an active member, said hat. active membership included )nly fiose 'Union members who ;erve on one of the Union's com nittees. He charged that the Board >f Governors had exceeded its kuthority and that it is con emptuous of Student Government. -le urged the Senate to take action o counteract the Board's decision. SPEARS AGREES Vice President Mike Spears, presiding over the Senate, openly concurred with Wyka's and Neal's arguments.

The House bill, submitted by the Ways and Means Committee, al election scores week and told us we could come to the Board of Governors' meeting, Spears said. "That's like the Smithsonian Institute sending an invitation to the House of Representatives. We are the go' ernment. They are only a se -vice union. They should come to us." Sen. Chip Galloway then in troduced a motion which reads, "the Student Senate strongly disagrees with the internal selection of the Union President and the Student Senate condemns the Union Board for its decision. Sen. Neal offered an addition to the motion which reads, "the Student Senate will hold a referendum to determine the Student Body's choice before Student Elections." The addition was accepted wIthout opposition and the motion was passed unanimously. POLICE PROTECTION Another measure enacted was a a till ~ asking for more police protection in the Bates House area. "I dislike saying this as much as yot dislike hearing it, "Wyka said, "but unless immediate action is taker, by the University to insure more effective protection for these stud.nts, and their cars, the students may be forced to carry concealed weapons to insure their own safety--day and night." Wyka said that Bates House residents have been subject to numerous attacks and harassments.

One resident said he had been chased by "three colored kids with a knife." The other said that he had been robbed of $45 while crossing the intramural field." Both testified that it was unsafe to leave a car parked near Bates House or to go out alone at night. The Senate passea unanimously Wyka's bill and also passed unanimously another bill by Wyka calling for better lighting around campus. In another action, the Senate overrode President Barry Knobels veto of a bill granting senators a stipends of $50 a semester. The bill requires that senators remain in good standing and that they not miss more than two Senate meetings.

The Building and Grounds Committee will now pass the proposal on to the Board of Trustees at its meeting next Wednesday. onsider tation Miss Clotworthy said. "They are wonderful ambassadors and in terpret us to the rest of the state. Tlhey are kept informed by the president 's ottice on everything going on here." .-The board of women visitors met last semester to discuss giving no-curtew to all upperclassmen with pairental permission and approved the proposal.

Hiking student fees, however, rew fire from Student Senate, vhere a resolution was passed Wednesday opposing "the increase f student fees for the expansion of he football stadium." Authored by Sen. Jean Neal, the -esolution further urged that mother method of financing tadium enlargement be con idered. In addition, the Senate manimously okayed a bill calling or student referendums before tudent fee hikes. The bill contends that the mxisting system for raising student lees "constitutes collection without representation." As introduced by Sen. Brian Rines, it calls for "all changes in Student Fees to be submitted to the student body during the spring !ections for the purpose of an advisory referendum prior to the institution or collection of any student fee increase." At issue is a four-stage plan for increasing the seating capacity of Carolina Stadium. The University has offered a plan which would relieve state funds from the project by financing it through private contribution, ticket price increases and student fee assessments. 3 okays ing plea the fraternities made three requests and according to Harold Brunton, vice president for business affairs, two of these were approved. The other is to be referred to the Trustee-Student Liaison Committee. One of the two requests which received approval provide for use of the land bordered by Catawba Street on the north, Bull Street on the west, Heyward Street on the south and Sumter and Marion streets on the east, forming an L shaped area. The other request is for building houses on the property for fraternity use. The proposal which was not ruled on by the committee was a a request to allow fraternities to'rent off-campus housing in the interum period until the housing is ready. The Building and Grounds Com mittee said that this area involved students and not just housing and therefore it should be taken to the' Student-Trustee Liaison Coin imitt e T Ihe student- trustee committee was established this fall, according to Brunton. He said it considers such things as this and the open house proposals made by dorms and makes recommendations to the B4oard ol Trustees at its ineePings. -- auEt as.puebewe W eUse sponord by the Night Cub Student Union.
