GROUP REJECTS LIST SUGGESTED BY CLASS PREXY Senior Class Officer Sends Open Letter " To Daily Tar Heel Charging the University dance com mittee with "playing politics," rising senior class President Benny Hunter yesterday, in an open letter to the com mittee and the Daily Tar Heel, chal lenged the right of the committee to re ject, without adequate reason, the list of men submitted by him to the group, from which they were to select a senior- class representative. The senior class president alleges that the only grounds upon which the three men he named Buddy Nordan, Bert Premo, and Eric Laddey were rejected was that they were not the "type." In his letter Hunter pointed out that, since the correct "type" has not been defined, and as the three men are different, the political party affil iations of the men seems to be the only plausible reason for the committee's action. Inquiry revealed that the action of the committee is not unprecedented. Billy Robertson, former Interdormitory council president, Stated that last year, j under similar circumstances, he sub- ' nutted a list of six names which was refused by the committee "because they were not the type." Robertson says that he asked the committee what "type" of man would be suitable, and that when he submitted one of the names suggested by the committee, the man was promptly accepted. The text of Hunter's letter follows: University Dance Committee U.N.C., Chapel Hill Gentlemen: . - Three times you have turned down the-list of three men I offered you of which one was to be selected as the Senior class representative on the University dance committee. Your reason, gentlemen, is that none of these men is the type. You have not defined the type, and I feel that at least one of these, Nordan, Premo or Lad dey, should fit. So, until you do define for me and the Student body, since the dance com mittee appointments are of campus interest and effect, I charge the Uni versity dance committee with playing politics and challenge your right to turn down all of the men without ade quate reasons. This is an open letter, and I am send ing a copy to the Daily Tar Heel. Respectfully yours, (signed) Benny Hunter.

GREEN WILL TAKE PITCHER'S BOX AGAINST SENIORS Union Troubles Solved; Game Goes On At 4 Tomorrow Paul Green, Chapel Hill playwright, will toe the mound for the slugging ten of the faculty squad in a Softball game between the faculty and the senior sadists on Emerson field tomor row afternoon at 4 o'clock. Due to union difficulties in Kalamazoo, Mich., last week, the long-awaited-for game scheduled for last Thursday afternoon had to be postponed. Felix Markham announced last night that he had secured another Orange county band the Chapel Hill high school lads and lassies to be on hand in addition to the bands held over from last week. The other well known bands which will furnish music before the game and between the innings include Boss Hill and his Schniklefriez band, Satchelpuss Hargraves and his Hun gry Five, Effie O'Day and her E fiat (and is it flat!) Foot Floogies and Earl A. Slocum and his Musikers. As previously scheduled, Major Hoople will be the dark-horse umpire and the Chapel Hill star-to ters will furnish protection of the Major and his crew.

Yackety-Yacks All Yackety-Yacks received from the printers to date were distribut ed yesterday afternoon, Editor Ruth erford Yeates announced last night. Further distribution will not be made until later in the week when another shipment of the yearbooks is received. Yeates said that the date for distribution will be an nounced in the Daily Tar Heel. Class Votes At 10:30 On Individual Shots For Annual Next Year . Whether or not the rising sophomora class will have individual pictures in next year's Yackety-Yack will be de cided, when the second year men meet for the first time this morning at 10 :S0 in Memorial hall. President Bill Alex ander yesterday urged that a large number of present freshmen come to the meeting, since he wishes to hear their sentiments on the bill, and it is necessary to have a 50 per cent vote to pass the measure. Charley Wood and his band will play several numbers, while Alonzo Squires, blind freshman, will give several imitations. In past years, it has been the policy of the Yackety-Yack to take separate group pictures of members of both the freshman and - sophomore . classes. Rutherford Yeates and Jack Lynch, editors of the yearbook this year and next, respectively, have supported the proposed plan. A committee investi gating the matter recently favored in dividual pictures over group photos, pointing to the make-shift, non-representative group pictures in the Yackety-Yack, released yesterday, as being a weakness in the publication. STATEMENT Bill Alexander, in a recent state ment, said that both the sophomore and freshman classes at Wake Forest, Davidson, State College, . and Duke have individual photos in their year books. He also pointed xrat yesterday -that the Yackety-Yack "is an adver tisement for the University, and that individual pictures would add greatly to the neatness of the publication. At the present time the junior and senior classes both take individual pictures. But it has been predicted that a pass age of this morning's question would set a precedent for future freshman and sophomore classes. The cost of the new pictures would be included in the class dues. They would be paid in the following install ments: $1.45 in the first quarter, and $1.50 in the second quarter.
