After consultation with his advisor, who signs the cards, the student fills out each card with a course. The cards are taken to the respective department desks, where they are exchanged for course cards, that are tallied with the master card, A similar method is used by pre-registered students that are going through drop-add. The new system, which was prompted by a survey taken last January, is experimental, and Brooks wUl contact the aca demic deans to discover their reaction in the coming weeks. About the first registration using the new system, Brooks stated, "When aU else falls, students should read the instructions. A majority of the problems were caused by failure of the participants to read intructions."

Harling, a senior finance major from Laurinburg. will act as prosecutor in the new system. The prosecutor wUl investigate and prosecute all violations of university regulations in accordance with the statutes of the SGA constitution. The attorney General wiU be assisted by a staff of five to seven people to be appointed by Harling at the beginning of Fall quarter.

Gheen, a senior history major, wUl act as Public Defender for all students who request his assistance. He states that his office wUl not only protect the rights of students under the new constitution, but wUl also guarantee an investigation of all cases requesting defense.

Lockamy, who was made a member of the Board of Trustees by the North Carolina General Assembly as school closed for the regular session, attended his first meeting on May 27. The new member was pleased that the first Item he voted upon was for approval of the constitution that Student Government has spent a year revising and considering. The Board of Trustees at the meeting also endorsed the majority report of the Warren Commission, approved a new bachelor of science degree in social welfare and recreation leadership, and approved the issuance of $442,000 in revenue bonds for faculty housing. "I was received by Dr. Hyde very weU," Lockamy said. "He was glad we had a voting member now as a student." Lockamy said that Board Chairman Wallace Hyde asked for some remarks about his new position as a member of the board. "The decision between acting for the Board of Trustees or for the students wUl put me in a bind," he said. "I*U have to decide what is best for the entire university. What is not best for the students right now might be good for them a year from now, or three years from now. That's what I'll have to decide upon." the first item on the agenda was the revised Student Government Association Constitution. Lockamy stated that after reports from himself, vice-Pres- ident for Student Development Herb Reinhard, University Attorney Bill Scott, and others, there was only one question about the constitution before it passed unanimously. "I wanted to move that we accept the constitution," he said, "but I didn't get a chance to. I think that it's ironic that the first thing I voted on was the constitution." As part of his new duties aa a Board member, Lockamy went to Raleigh in support of Board Chairman Wallace Hyde who spoke to the legislature yesterday concerning the recommendation by the Warren Commission to replace the Board of Higher Education and the Board of the Consolidated University with a single Board of Regents. "Few students here realize how much the deconsolidation of UNC will help them, Lockamy said. "We hope that our support will help sway some votes. If we can get just one legislator to vote our way, that may doit."
