Di Surveys Campus Elections;
Senators Swap Verbal Blows
Thompson, White
Parry On Floor
Dissatisfaction with campaign and
voting practices in the general campus
election of April 5 was loudly voiced
Wednesday night when the Dialectic
Senate debated a bill which proposed
the abolition of political parties in
student government activities.
The discussion, as might have been
expected, soon centered on the pre-
voting political activities on the Stu
dent and University parties. Members
of both parties and a large number
of professed independent voters took
the floor to present both sides of this
question of current interest.
The University Party stand on the
issue was ably presented by Winkie
White who, after a few general re
marks, announced that she would yield
the floor for questions from members
of the opposition party and from in
dependent voters. Student Party lead
ers on the floor directed a number of
leading questions by which they hoped
to establish the point that the Univers
ity Party is dominated by a small
group of fraternities and sororities
and that it does not adequately repre
sent students who do not belong to these
organizations. A summary of the an
swers to these questions would indi
cate tnat tne university .rarty is a
very necessary part of student govern
ment and that it represents the stu
dent body as a whole rather than cer
tain small groups as was implied by
the opposition.
Student Party Discussed
' 'The Student Party was represented
in the Di roster by Senator Roy Thomp
son with the assistance from the floor
of Senators Gloria Chapman and Bill
Crisp. After presenting the Student
Party side of 'the question, Senator
1 hompson threw the floor open toques-
j ri i t . i T-k i I
uons concerning atuaent -arry pon-.
cies, organization, and activities dur
ing the past election. Leading ques
tions directed by Winkie White and
Miles Smith , of the University Party
were designed to establish the point
that the Student Party is controlled
by a small group and does not repre
sent the opinion of the majority of stu
dents. Answers to these questions seem
ed to indicate that the Student Party
is also a very important part of stu
dent government activities and that the
speaker believed that it does represent
the student body interests rather than
the interest of a small group of poli-

Valkyries Back
Local Singfest
Groups Invited
To Participate
If you're a bathtub soloist or if you
annoy the neighbors by harmonizing
with your friends on gay nineties
favorites, you will be interested in the
Valkyrie plans for a competitive cam

theatre.
Letters have been sent out to all
fraternities, sororities and campus
organizations announcing the sing.

Hendren Mourns Bed Clothes
Campus Politicians Dirtied
By Nancy Helm
Chapel Hill has partially conquered
the wanderlust of the new Carolina
Mag editor, Connie Hendren. Daugh
ter of a Rear Admiral now seeing ac
tive duty in the Pacific, "Continental'
Hendren has lived in Chapel Hill for
two years, which is the longest time
that she has remained in any one place
But that is easy to understand be
cause of her interest in a million and
one things from making the Dean's
list, which she says is impossible, to
how she is going to recover her once
beautiful white sheets that were ap
propriated by the University party, for
a political rally.
When her interviewer walked in,
Connie, experienced and talented in
the art of making people talk about
themselves, laid aside a folder of New

Reporting that elections for a va
cant Honor Council position would
take place on Monday, April 23, Chair
man of the Elections Committee Walt
Brinkley announced a Friday com
mittee meeting in which the knotty
problem of Freshman elections would
be taken up.
Brinkley said that the delay in these
run-offs has been due to the difficulty
in making out accurate lists of eli
gible voters. The earlier disputed
elections had been thrown out because
of ineligibility charges.
Review Regulations
Rules Committee Chairman Charles
Warren reviewed the regulations on
attendance iQ(f legislature members,
making clear to the legislators pre
cisly what to do if they were absent or
wished to give a vote by proxy to an
other person. The point arose that
proxies can be given only to other mem
bers of the legislature, not to an out
sider, and in discussing whether a
proxy allows voting on all issues or
just in specific ones in which the ab
sent legislator has expressed his opin
ion in writing, it was generally agreed
that a "blanket" proxy is correct un
der the rules.
A bill requiring the recording of all
acts of the legislature was introduced
by Mary Elizabeth Barwick and refer
red to the Ways and Means Committee.
Under the bill, a book must be pre
pared by the clerk and must contain
all acts of past sessions in numbered
order. As new acts are passed they
are also to be included, after being
certified by the clerk and the Speak
er. The bill provided that a copy of
