This new As sembly, he said, will be the one to resolve the question of the survival of this form of govern ment. The loss of prestige. Julius said, was caused by the fact that Assemblymen did not con duct their own research on is sues. "They just came, listened and voted," he said.

I This would make it unnecessary to set up a Senate-House confer-j ence to compromise the differ-j ences, most of which are relative-! ly minor. j Senate passage of the bill came over bitter opposition of Southern members, who lost 70-18 a last ditch effort to send it back to the! Judiciary Committee for more hearings. The final vote capped a struggle that began Feb. 15 and! was featured by more than a! week of record-smashing around-! the-clock sessions. Southern senators denounced the bill to the end as an uncon stitutional invasion of states' rights. Some of their Northern Democratic colleagues called it a weak, watered down bill—a sham. But Democratic Leader Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas and Repub lican Leader Everett M. Dirksen of Illinois, who worked in tandem to steer the bill through the Sen ate, said it marked a forward step. Dirksen said last Tuesday that President Eisenhower was "quite happy" with it, even though the bill does not carry out some of the administra tion's major civil rights pro posals. The heart of the measure is de signed to assure Negroes and oth er minority groups the right to register and vote without discrim ination because of race or color.

Originally, a student could not apply for his parents if he was not going to apply for himself also. However, Julius explained, a student may only make applica tions for his parents, wife (or hus band), or children who have the same permanent address as the student.
