Rules, points, club constitutions,
and elections all came into the
spotlight' in the recent legislature!
meetings, with a number of
changes being adapted by that
body.
The NSA Council was consider-ed
at the April 8 meeting, with
further discussion on whether or
not NSA Chairman nominees
should be required to have at
least one year's experience on the
NSA Council. The motion was
defeated, as was a motion that a
committee be set up to study the
methods of electing NSA mem-bers
for a Pre-School Conference
report A motion provided that
any rising senior interested in
running for NSA Chairman file her
own petition.
The new constitution of the
Consolidated University Student
Council was approved upon recom-mendation
of Chairman Jane
Sarsfleld, after discussion con-cerning
the authority of the
executive committee. Jane ex-1
plained that this committee, which
Is advisory and legislative, is
needed to obtain continuity which
is not obtainable among the large
group which meets so seldom. A
slate of officers were nominees
for CUSC members was presented
and approved.
Commercials won their petition
for expanded social privileges
when Legislature accepted the
proposal that "beginning with the
second semester, one year com-mercials
shall be allowed sopho-more
privileges."
Completing the agenda for the
April 8 meeting was a report from
the Southern Intercollegiate Asso-ciation
of Student Government
Conference, which June Rainey,
H.-ity Bullard. and Trilby Boerner
recently attended. It was from
Ideas exchanged at this conference
that Trilby derived the plan to
Include an underclassman repre-sentative
to Judicial Board. She
presented this plan in the form
of a motion, and also asked for a
provision that the Secretary act as
president of Judicial Board in the
absence of the president. These
changes are constitutional changes,
and at the April 17 meeting. It
was decided to present them to
the student body at the next Mass
Meeting.
The April 17 session, after
carrying Trilby's motion concern-ing
the new Judicial Board regu-lations,
heard a report from Anne
Whittingdon, chairman of Points
Committee, on points revisions
Among the measures approved by
Legislature were the following:

than one presidency, one treasurer- j
ship, two secretaryships, or serve;
on more than two publications at
one time, with the exception of
specified honorary organizations.
There were also several changes
made in the point value of offices
These will be listed correctly in
the 1952-53 Handbook.
Helen Hawfield then presented
a report from Rules Committee.
The wording of several rules was
modified, and the sectioning of
some regulations was changed
Among the more important re-visions
was the clarification of the
section "For Freshmen Only.."
