Constitution: Now-Then The Constitution for the Woman's 3tudent Govemmenl Association has been passed by the Legislative Board and is awaiting student ratification. This constitution, is extremely well suited to Lonpwood's student Goverment. There are some very pood changes in this new constitution over the old one: The treasurer of the Legislative Board is a member of the Student Activities Fees Committee (Article II. Section I, d.). The secretary of Judicial Board Is to be elected! by the student body instead of by the board from its members: thus, allowing the class representatives to give their full attention to the case (Art. II, Sec. II). The chairman of the Judicial Board is to execute! and enforce the laws (Art. Ill, Sec. Ill, a.). She will act much like the president of the United States in that she will have the duty of enforcing the laws The vice chairman's duty is -'to prosecute violations of the law." She will read the charges, ask the questions, and generally direct the prosecution. When a person is charged, it is the vice chairman who will prove the charges are true by using evidence and question-. This is infinitely more just, in theory, than our present system. The way the Hoard now works || similar to having a whole tribunal of prosecuting attorneys judging the defendent. That the person who accuses and prosecutes the defendent is separate from the judge Is a well established principle of justice. A judge should hear the facts, state what the law (rule) is on the matter and pronounce punishment (sentence). Our informal system at Longwood would not preclude the judges' (members of the Judicial Board) asking questions, but the main question should come nun the vice-chairman (prosecutor). This system insures a much fairer hearing to each B than the method of representatives acting as prosecutors and judges at the same time. Not stated in the constitution, but implied is that the chairman, because she executes, and the vicechairman, because she prosecutes the laws, shall have no vote in the decision. If either of them votes, the whole system breaks down, and the benefits of having a prosecutor are lost. Article III, Section VII is one of the greatest parts of this constitution. It guarantees certain rights to the accused: the accused shall not be denied the right ". . . of counsel, ... to know the nature of all charges brought against her. ... to have witnesses in her behalf." Tin si' rights are basic! The new nomination procedures are much more democratic than in the old system. This new method is described In Article V. The person running for an office will have to think about her future responsibilities Lei ore she is elected. This new constitution is the product of the labors of several people. Mr. John Allen of the- Public Relations Office and Dr. Richard Barron, Professor of Political Science, each wrote constitutions for the Legislative Board to work with. Originally the Legistive Board under Annice Bailey worked on the constitution. The document that has been passed is a product of the editing efforts of Bonnie Ramey and Dana Brewer. Bonnie is presently a representative to the Legislative Hoard. Dana was a member of Annice Bailey's Legislative Board. Our thanks should go to all of these people for their efforts and interest.

MODERN DANCE Member* of Orchesis and modern dance classes perform during recent assembly
held In Jarman Auditorium. Orchesis is honorary modern dance society on campus.
Modern Dance Students Show Dance Potentials The assembly presented by the students of modern dance will long be remembered. The production presented on April 30, was wedged between the Faculty Follies and the annual May Day, but still had a satisfying effect for many students. It was simply a demonstration-program showing the potential for dance In everyday life, and an intent by Orchesis to carry on toward a more realistic approach to understanding dance as an art form. It Is an example of the blending naturally of the curricular with the extracurricular, i.e. three units combining for one goal — understanding. Judging from comments of students, one could visualize for herself tn two of the events as the program unfolded the traditions of college life as the student "feels" It. Others, when
questioned, would answer "four times." What does this say? 0M hves his traditions although he isn't aware of it until it is bared in some manner. Most students, according to un-polled opinion, liked Autumn Leaves. When asked to close their eyes, and visualize an appropriate color, the majority of students thought of red while others saw yellow. Why the tree melted into the background was another question, which can be explained as an unfinished problem of staging to be clarified in next year's program. In the yellow leaf group, one was wearing red because another yellow outfit was not available It was Important for everyone in the classes to be participating. Orchesis wants to thank the student body for Its response to the program of dance. And for everyone participating — kudos.

We tried to buy something else to eat before leaving the town, but there was nothing. The citizens didn't have enough for themselves. Eventually we got on board a train to City Point. The coaches were so old they threatened to collapse any moment. Ours was filled with Northern soldiers, resplendent in epaulets,; stars, and gold braid.

The nominations of important committee chairmen for the committees under Student Government were made at the April 30 meeting of the Legislative Board. The Activities, Calendar, and Assembly Chairmen must be approved by the Student Body. Karen Diederick and Joyce Powell will be in charge of the Southern Intercollegiate Association of Student Governments' convention which will be held at Longwood in the Spring of 1964. Filling the post of Assembly Chairman, Betty Ann Atkinson will work with her committee, the student body, and the faculty and administration to prepare worthwhile assembly programs for the 1963-64 school year Eva Moore is the new calendar chairman, and her duties will be to keep a record of events, meetings, and such and to post these so that students and faculty may have a reference when they wish to know what is happening when. This is not be to confused with the calendar across from the business office. It is, instead, a more complete one, that will list all class and club meetings. The Co-Chairmen of the study group set up to evaluate May Day will be headed by Suzanne Briel and Ann Cordle. Dana Brewer end Anne Downey are chairman and co-chairman respectively of the Activities Committee for next year Representatives from each class will be chosen to complete this committee. It is probable that a class in parliamentary order will be offered next Fall to heads of organizations and to their parliamentarians. It is felt that the class would be beneficial to most organizations. The Board welcomes your opinions concerning this. The judicial Board will join us on the Student Government picnic May 8 at Longwood Estate Nancy Morefield and Linda Bassford will make the arrangements. Consider the proposed new constitution for the Student Government Association We think it's quite concise and that it meets the students' needs and clarifies matters that have been ambiguous in the past. Note the changes in procedures and consult your class representative-' This is a big step, and it is up to you to point the direction. Evelyn Gray Nancy Morefield
