houses with only a small
stylistic change. The
delegation again proved
highly effective in assisting
other schools in rewriting
their bills. They also worked
with Methodist College and
the University of North
Carolina at Chapel Hill to
combine similar bills from all
three schools attempting to
change the state statutes
concerning fornication. This
bill, sponsored jointly by all

honorable mention in the

"What was most
amazing," LaiKtttrr said,
"was the radical change in
the status UNC-G had. The
student body can take a
great deal of pride in the
opinion held of this
delegation. With another
year of experience behind us
(only four seniors were on
this year's delegation),
UNC-G stands all sorts of
chances in its participation
next year."
Lancaster emphasized
that much of what UNC-G
did at the statewide meeting
occured off the floor. "We
caucaused every night to
discuss the material that
would be coming up the
next day," he said. 'We
worked closely with
delegations from other
schools on their legislation.
We would often raise
questions during debate on
the floor."
UNC-G also sponsored a
resolution that would set up
