Student body cards will be required for identification at the polls, and no books will be taken into tne voting area.
Unanimous appproval was given by Senate representatives Friday of a constitutional amendment that will give the right of initiative legislation to the student body. This proposal will be on Tuesday’s ballot.
As approved, any initiative measure desired by the students would be voted on in four possible election periods. These times are at the general election in May, the freshman election in October, in the third week of the spring semester, and at any special election deemed necessary.
George Bermant and George Woolery led the complicated debate cn the issue as counter amendments on counter amendments piled up on the senators.
ONE WEEK STUDY
When initiative legislation is be-i gun by the students the petition will be held by the Senate Rules committee for one week for study and extensive university publication. It will then be presented at the listed dates for voter action if not acted upon within 30 days by the Senate.
Heated debate centered around the time limit in the holding procedure and the possible elections at which the students would be able to vote on the proposed measures.
Bill Gray, rules committee mem-i ber. said the holding of the petitions should be “for publication and technical clearance only.” Bermant hinted that political maneuvering might develop in the one week delaying action. Gray’s statement was incorporated into the wording of the constitutional amendment.
REVISED SECTION
The controversial section of the amendment now reads “if no action is taken upon it by the ASSC Senate within said thirty days from the time it is received by the ASSC Senate, the ASSC Rules committee will submit it to the student body for appproval at the next ensuing election. If at the end of the fall semester, initiative is still pending, the president must call an election by the end of the third school week of the spring semester.”

English Honorary Discusses Novels
“Fifty Years of the American Novel” was discussed at a roundtable by members of Epsilon Phi. English honorary, Friday evening at the home of Dr. Lionel Stevenson, bead of the English department.

Climaxing the 40th semiannual Philosophy Forum will be a lecture-on “James Ware—Anti-naturalist” presented by Raul R. Helsel, professor of philosophy.
Meeting tomorrow at 4:15 p.m. in Bowne nail, the Philosophy Forum will end its spring semester’s series of talks on “Philosophers Everybody Should Know” by probing into the ideas of the psychologist. James Ward.
Ward has been neglected by American psychologists, stated Professor Helsel, though the British psychologists have not entirely forgotten the man who came up with a different approach to the idea of psychology.
In fact, though brought up under Calvinistic authority and ordained a minister, Ward renounced both Calvinism and his patronage and gave up the craving for “something proved” in exchange for the awareness that the conclusions of
reason can only be hypothetical,” said Professor Helzel.
F. H. Bradley's idea that “in the beginning, there is nothing beyond what is presented; there are no relations and no feelings, only feeling,” was opposed by Ward.
“Objects and activity are implied in the very conception of physical existence,” he said.
Bradley believed ‘therefore’ that one is bom with nothing but the capacity for feeling. Ward countered that a mental consciousness must exist in the beginning to go through the process of learning, for how can nothing learn something
According to Ward psychological data contained something more than physical data. This additional something obliged psychology to over-reach the confines of science and to recognize an idealistic dual unity of subject and object within the human consciousness.
University Officials Ponder Greater U. Parking Motions
Administration and student government officials were still tussling mightily with the parking problem Friday.
Allen A. Arthur, Greater University committee vice-chairman, said university officials are considering the committee proposal that area behind the new Commons building be blacktopped and opened to parking.
Elton D. Phillips, university business manager, said he was again inquiring into the possibility of getting Coliseum parking space for schoolday use by students.
Similar negotiations last year were not successful. The university was not willing to operate the lots on a commercial basis for Coliseum and museum events. An arrangement whereby students would have weekday use of the areas while private operators would operate them for park events was request- 1
ed. The State was unwilling to accept such an arrangement.
“We are still unwilling to go into the parking business commercially,” Phillips said. “We have asked state officials to reconsider the same proposal we suggested a year ago.”
He said he had serious doubts about the university’s legal right to operate the parking space on a commercial basis, even if it desired to do so.
Phillips said an alternative arrangement with the lot operators was being studied. Since most of the parking space would not be used on weekdays, it might be possible to get low rates for students. The rates might be as low as 5 or 10 cents a car.
He said the administration was .nafcpg evtry effort to secure more student parking but that the problem was tremendous. The campu-area itself, he admitted, could prc vide little additional space.
