By Charles Barrett The student council'lasf. nioiit endorsed petitions circulating on the campus requesting' the government to raise NYA funds Dack to their former level, and authorized a delegation Washington during the spring holidays to reinforce the request. Asserting that the nrpsonf aate is unusually stratee-io that student initiative should in fluence the national administra tion, council members urged all students to give the text of the petition their full consideration. Congress "Congress will soon consider NYA appropriations for next year," said President Bob Ma gill. 'This, along with the fact that the National Youth confer ence will send a large body to Washington on March 10. 11 J and 12 to urge support to NYA, makes the petition very appro priate. "I have recently learned that one of the major reasons offered by congressmen for cutting the NYA funds from $75,000,000 to $50,000,000 last year was that the students themselves seemed to show little interest. Petitions such as this one should herefore bear much weight." Delegation Theu counciL- delegation to Washington will be joined by representatives from the Uni versity YMCA. The petition will aim to secure part of the $25,000,000 reduc tion in NYA funds back for this year's spring quarter, and to set next year's quota at $75,000,000, the same amount allotted in the school year 1936-37. It will be sent to C. E. Mcintosh, director of the NYA for North Carolina, and then to national headquar ters. Citing the drastic need for in creased funds on the campus, Harry F. Comer, chairman of the self-help committee, recently revealed that over 1,000 k more (Continued on page two)1 Cash Prize Will Be Awarded For Title For Dance To Be Given By Student-Faculty Day Dance Committee For Costume Ball The Student-Faculty day dance committee yesterday an nounced that it is offering a cash prize of one dollar for the best idea for a title for the costume ball which will be in the Tin Can the night of April 5.

"He would have been a splendid president for the sophomores, and we regret that he was forced to withdraw because of frater nity affiliations." " ' - McRae, in explaining his with drawal, said he had not realized his fraternity brothers were all supporters of the University party, and that, in accepting the Student party's nomination, he was working in opposition to them. Under such circumstances he felt that the proper thing for him to do was withdraw entirely from the political scene. An additional factor which' caused McRae's withdrawal ; from the Student party was that the University party had pre viously considered him as a member and had nominated hinv to an office. Although he had not accepted the University par ty's nomination, McRae felt he had placed himself in an awk ward situation in accepting the Student party's nomination. No final decision was made at the Friday night meeting. This will take place at a general , meeting of the Student party im mediately after spring holidays, when candidates for the senior -class, athletic association, and Publications Union board will be chosen. Candidates for the editorships of the Carolina Magazine, the Buccaneer, and the Yackety Yack will not be selected until after staff nominations, Cole stated. Except for the editors of the four publications and for the " Publications Union board mem- bers, the University party has completed its slate. At present the Student party has selected : Jim Joyner for president of the student body against the University party's Bud Hudson ; endorsed Bill Hen drix, the University party's can didate for vice-president; and picked Cy Jones for president of the junior class; Benny Hunter for treasurer; Mac Nesbit, sec retary; Jack Fairley, as junior councilman ; and Lucy Jane Hunter, secretary of the senior , class.
