LawI SENATE, From Page 1 the author of the bill. Everytime something comes up concern ing laws, he said, a person must go to the Supreme Court. "Why is this? Because there are no places where a student can go to look up these laws and read them with understanding." Take the Student Senate for example, Manning added, the senators spend time arguing over this and that because they don't know the laws and they don't know where to go to look for them. "I,know that the codification will not solve all the problems of the university," Manning said, "but it will help a great deal and I feel that we need this codification as soon as possible. This could eliminate problems such as election disputes." Sen. Allen Lawhead speaking in agreement with President Spinazzolo said, "What I want to know is why hasn't the Senate done anything about this them GAME The Gamecock is published twice a ing the fall and spring semesters witt and exam periods.

We (the student senators) have just as much right to do this as anybody else. Why is it that student senators are competent to make laws, but are not competent to codify them?" "The Senate has neglected its responsibilities," Lawhead said. What would happen if a University Senate (a combina tion of faculty, students and administration officials in one body) is formed, there goes the codification. "Why do students have to elect senators to pay somebody else to run the government," he said. "I think the student gov ernment can do the codification maybe with help from some law students." References were made about the USC Constitution stating that it was a duty of the student body secretary to codify the laws of the University and how this was not being done.

I think the student government can do it without paying any law stu dents." The bill was then voted on and the necessary two-thirds majority voted in favor of over riding Spinazzolo's veto. Tim McConnell, senate presi dent, announced that it has been planned for the installation of officers to be held at 5 p.m. Monday. The senate election results were ratified by the Student Senate after hearing a report from Tony Daniels, elections commission chairman. A resolution designed to pro hibit the Student Supreme Court from interfering with the Elections Commission was defeated at the meeting.

B. MANNING Chinese Influence China's aid programs exert extreme influence in Africa and especially in Tanzania, Prof. August Nimtz of the University of Min nesota said Tuesday. Nimtz spoke on the East African country of Tanzania to an Interna tional Studies class and interested faculty members and students at 2 p.m. in Flinn Hall. He said, "Through China's very generous aid program improve ments have been made in Tan zania." The country became "f riendly" with Eastern powers (China and Russia) when Tanzanian President Julius Nyerere was invited to China in 1965 as a rep resentative of the East Africar Union. During this time, Nimtz said, Chou En-lai stated that Africa was "ripe for revolution." liege ollege schol cidental fees of $100.00, citing fringe lities ALLAN WARD id Exerts In Africa "The fact that China is one of the main contributors to the liberation movement in Africa would explain this friendship between the countries, Nimtz said. He said Nyerere and Tanzania felt they could aid China by provid ing contact with the country when Western powers were trying to isolate China. He said when Western powers rejected African equests to invest in an East African railroad China gave the country a $400 million interest-free loan, the largest loan it had ever made. Britain, however, is the chief con tributor in terms of money loaned since the country's independence in 1961, Nimtz said. The United States has aided Tan zania in building highways, he said, but has few ties with the country. "There's a coolness toward Tan zania from the United States, Nimtz said. The United States Pace Corp Program was discontinued in 1969. He said this country could have been a power in Africa, but Presi dent Woodrow Wilson decided rather casually that the country "wasn't interested." Nimtz explained that Tanzania has a one-party governmental sys tem which was implemented on the basis of an opinion survey of the population. The chief means of deci sion making is the National Party Congress, while the government and the administration of foreign affairs implement their decisions. Nimtz said the party's responsi bility was stated in 1941 as imple menting policies of the massess. Nimtz visited the University as a guest of the Department of Govern ment and International Studies on Monday and Tuesday. He lectured to a Monday morning class and spoke to a group Monday night on the black political struggle in America. Easy To Opeir Gamecock Charge Account *100 (LUmit) BRITTON S
