Heated verbal action is expected tonight when the controversial issue on the extent of ASSC Senate control over the constitutions of member schools comes before the Senate for its second round.
The immediate problem to be decided is whether the Senate can rule on the legality of requirements established for presidency of school j councils.
Several sohools are attempting to make service on their councils a | prerequisite to eligibility for the | presidency of the council.
PADGETT SCORES Eob Padgett, veterans represen-1 tative, has scored the requirement j as “undemocratic” and “unconstitutional,” but the Rules committee has decided the Senate does not have the legal authority to abolish lit.
‘I plan to ask for a reinterpre-i tation of the constitution,” said ‘ Padgett. “If that fails, I’m going to submit a recommendation for an j amendment.”

CLARIFICATION ASKED Johnny Davis, ASSC president, has expressed the need for clarification of the constitution’s scope of authority on this issue.
“The constitution is particularly vague on this point, and I feel that legislative clarafication is necessary,” he said. “The Senate has {implied power to pass on all constitutions of member schools, but it should be definitely stated to

Parker shivered noticeably as he | talked about decorations for the j second annual informal dance.
“We're having a snow and snow- j man theme,” he said straddling a ! heater. “Tommy, a block SC, and j the school crest will be given a winter setting. Besides that, we’re
going to have icicles all over the place.”
Parker said that students who are fortunate enough to nail one of the 300 bids are promised a “hot” evening in the chilly atmosphere.
“Tommy Jones, hot trumpet footer, and his orchestra have been obtained for the evening. Jones also plays nice smooth danceable music for the older crowd,” he said.
Bids are $2.50 and will be on sale this week in front of the Administration building.

Jerry Geisler, noted criminal lawyer, used his own experiences Monday in illustrating the do’s and do not’s of the law profession to a capacity audience in the Law auditorium.
Speaking on "My Experi nces a. a Criminal Lawyer,” the prominent SC alumnus said he went to law chool because he wanted to en.er the ‘fa-cin?.ting f eld” of criminal law.
His interest in criminal law began when he played hookey from his truckdriving job to see Earl Rogers, “greatest trial lawyer in the west,” plead cases in Los Angeles courts, he said.
While attending school Geisler

“After I finished,” Geisler said, "the prosecutor complimented me cn the speeoh and told the court
had been reversed by the supreme court.”
He said his embarrassment in that incident should be a wamlBK to young lawyers to “follow ever point through, and when you cite a law, know it is a law.”
The short, pink-faced criminal attorney alternately shouted and whispered to his audi nee.
“Most of you are going to have to start frcm scratch.” ne said, “ar.d you're go ng .o have a tough time. If ycu don't love the law. I’m iorry for you.”
He warned them that while a lawyer should always retain the confidence of his client, “never tell him you're going to get him
