The Carolinian Volume XXXXIX University of North Carolina at Greensboro Tuesday, November 11, 1»69 Numbw 15 Legislature Votes On Cabinet, Considers Reading Day Change Production Manager of WBHL, the atudent radio etatlon of UNC-G discusses with a DJ a special program to be aired.' Legislature will meat tomorrow night at 7:00 in the Claxton Room. They will consider vote on the proposed elimination of Freshman Cabinet and will consider by-law changes to delete the presidential appointment to legislative committees and vice-presidential appointment to executive committee. The student representatives will also consider changes in the handbook committee and the clarification that only undergraduate students will be members of the Student Government Association. There will also be a resolution Introduced by Mies Ada Fisher to change reading day to Monday rather than the Saturday it is now scheduled for. The rational* behind the by-laws change to limit presidential and vice-presidential power in the legislative and executive branch respectively is sponsored by Harry Alexander. The rationale behind it is that "the concept of separation of power calls for division of power between the executive and legislative branches of government. The President, as chief executive, should appoint executive committees and the Vice President, as chairman of Legislature, should appoint Legislative committees." Miss Fisher's resolution reads as follows: Whereas reading day is scheduled for Saturday, January 17, 1970 And, whereas Saturday's are not considered a full day in the normal operation of the university, And, whereas reading days are considered essential to the preparation for examinations and therefore require a minimum of one full academic day, Therefore, be it resolved that reading day be established on the following Monday, January 19, 1970 and all exams moved back one day. Students Petition For Improvements Legislature Considers Cabinet Elimination Over 2200 signatures were gathered by commissioners of the four classes in a recent petition drive originated by the officers of the senior class, Kim Ketchum announced. The petition asked for a cooperative effort of the administration and students to alleviate what was fonildered four ggjigg campus //, ^i to raise the needed revenue. College Drive from Spring Garden street to Elliott Hall will also be widened to provide additional on campus parking. Property on Gladwyn Court has been acquired and the lots are being cleared to meet with future parking requirements. Although H.L. Ferguson Jr., Business Msnager, had previously dismissed the idea of speed control mouldings on Gray Drive, he did promise to re-review his findings in lieu of the student support requesting this. The often treacherous condition of the path through Peabody Park which many students travel was bought to the attention of Dean Smyth by the student committee. The committee suggested steps to be strstegically placed on the path with gravel or crushed stone to provide a firm walking base. Admitting that he was unaware of the extent of this problem Dean Smyth promised his support in attempting to provide the requests of the committee. According to Ketchum, in the final analysis the student committee snd petition drive didn't directly initiate action by the sdministrstion on lighting and parking, as it was slready being worked oat. it did make them aware of student feelings and did provide the answers which we were entitled to know. Legislature is now considering an elimination of the Freshman Cabinet. There was considerable debate in last week's session of legislature concerning the proposed elimination of the Freshman Cabinet from the By-Laws of the Student Government Association. Erskine Walther, who sponsored the bill, spoke in favor of its passage, saying that the Cabinet was "outdated," and that its stated purpose of introducing freshmen to various functions of 8GA could be fulfilled by the recently approved Student Orientation Committee. Other speakers felt that there was an additional purpose behind Freshman Cabinet—that of training future student leaders. The Cabinet, as outlined in the student handbook, is composed of 60 members of the Freshman class although last year's Cabinet had 100 members selected by interviews of the coordinators. Debate also brought gut the fact that the Cabinet offered an intensive attention to fewer persons, while a plan under the Orientation Committee would reach more persons. Deb Bowen, a freshman reporter for THE CAROLINIAN researched the proposed elimination from the viewpoint of how it would affect the Freshman class. Her report follows: Upperclassmen, familiar with the Cabinet, viewed it as an excellent means of orienting the new Student to Student Government and other aspects of the University. Yet it failed by limiting its membership and (Continued on page 2) Million To March Against Death in D. C. Kitr Ketchum, Senior Class President. problems. Dean Smyth, Dean of Students, acted as liaison between a student committee and administirial hierarchy in obtaining at least some semblance of an answer to these requests. It was learned that the contract for improved campus lighting has been awarded and the plans are now on the desk of the architect for design and review. September 1970 is the deadline for the lights to be installed and in operating condition. Depending on the Universitys' right to exercise its' privilege of emminent domain in acquiring property, a 600 car parking lot will be stationed behind the new classroom building on Spring Garden street. This is also anticipated to be ready by September 1970. A minimum $18.00 assessment fee per car is anticipated in order By NANCY MOORE News Editor Thursday, an approximated 1,000,000 persons will begin to March Against Death in Washington, D.C. and another 1,000,000 will march in San Francisco. The March Against Desth and the Mass March scheduled for Saturday are sponsored by the New Mobilization Committee to end the war in Vietnam, the old Mobe being on trial in Chicago. This march is not under the auspices of the Vietnam Moratorium Committee who prefer a more community oriented approach. But they share the same goal—American troop withdrawal from Vietnam. Many of the ones marching will be those who participated in the Moratorium observation in October and who will be participating in the Moratorium this month on November 13-14. Many UNC-G students will be "working for Peace," as the Moratorium puts it. Many students plan to go to Washington. The NSA office on campus is sponsoring a bus to leave Thursday at 5:00. Although the Mobilization officials are emphasizing peaceful and legal, many feel that there is the threat of violence, especially in the Saturday march, which Washington officials and Mobilization leaders cannot agree on a route. Many observers were amazed at the October peace demonstration, partially because of its extensive reaches, but also because of its truly peaceful conduct. It is hoped that this month's observation, from both groups and all factions, will be as peaceful and as effective. UNC-G atudent, under N8A direction and sponsor, plan to go to Washington to "march against desth." Linda Richardson, NSA Chairman, is seated in the far right.
