By LEONARD LOBRED F the first time since 1926 when Carolina won the 'conference track meet with 23 points on Emerson field, the. Southern conference track and field . championships will be held on Fetzer field, opening with the trials today at 3:30 and ending tomorrow 'with what is expected to be the classi est finals in years. Carolina and Maryland, both unde feated this spring, and Duke are the strongest threats for the team title in the l?th annual meet. Undefeated in indoor and outdoor competition since they won the con ference crown at Durham last spring, the Tar Heels are slight favorites over Maryland because of better balance in all events. The. Terrapins, with a second place in the indoor games and a tie with Dartmouth on their record, should be Carolina's toughest oppon ents, not only for the team title but also for individual honors. Duke's Blue Devils, having been beaten by Princeton and Carolina this spring, rate - third but may do better if the breaks fall their way..

NENTZOW Whether you local tennis fans know it or not, there are three unfinished tennis courts hereabouts that $1200 would develop into first-class clay courts. Since 1933, while class after class of undergraduates bravely stroked away on uninviting cement and as phalt surfaces, this deserted area has rested on the far easterly end of the stretch of hard-surfaced courts, await ing completion. Beneath the compar atively level clearing is a complete drainage system; four catA basins mark off the width of the embryo courts, surrounding fence posts are ready for heavy mesh wire.

More important, though, I want to stress that, con trary to the opinions of several stu dents and the letters received by the Daily Tar Heel, I had absolutely no intention of tearing down either the University, the fraternities or the coeds in general to the outside world.

'V ' - "'" The signed column was written in' the Wednesday, April 19, issue of the Daily Tar Heel by Louis Harris, re porter. : Its title was "The Vindica-, tors", the name of a nationalistic and; patriotic organization frequently as- sociated wth fascist movements, and in; it: Harris denounced the junior North; Carolina senator" for misrepresenting sentiment in this state. Horace Richter, Harris fraternity brother, sent a copy of the paper to Drew Pearson sand Robert S. Allen, co authors of the Washington Merry-Go-Round column, which is nationally syndicated. NON-SUPPORTERS In an accompanying letter, Richter stated : "When I looked over a copy of Senator Reynold's publication, the American Vindicator, and later read the enclosed article The Vindicators, I thought it would be a good thing if the sort of fascist propaganda which appears in the former could be given Thousand More Copies Of Annual Are Ready One thousand more copies of the Yackety Yack are ready for dis tribution today from 4 to 6 o'clock in the small lounge of Graham Me morial, it was announced yesterday.

Al though he did not obtain a hit he was (Continued on page 4, column 1) as much critical publicity as possible. It is important that we let the people know just what "Our Bob" is doing. And not only North Carolinians but everybody throughout the country should be told AGAIN AND AGAIN that we are not behind Reynolds and what he stands for." Five days later, on April 29, Richter received this reply from Columnist 'Allen: "It certainly is heart warming that the Tar Heel has the courage and intelligence to publish an article as penetrating and able as Mr. Harris'. Both are fo be heartily congratulated. Comment by us on an out-of-town pub lication is a bifout of our line. How ever, I'm all for helping the good work along, and will try to work in a. line about the piece at the first opportu nity." - - BEGINNING Shortly thereafter, the fireworks be gan. On May 4 the capital columnist de voted several hundred words, to Nazi "activity and pulled no punches in their 'expose.

To Hold Further Study Of Problems Foregoing his scheduled formal ad dress, Dr. Frank Graham led an en thusiastic open forum discussion ? of the problems of student government last night at . a banquet in Graham Memorial, thus concluding the Cam pus Government conference. As a followup to a three-day con clave which was only able to scratch the surface of the subject, (Student Government), the conference ended its final session by moving that its plan ning committee in the near future pro vide for the study and improvement of the major problems in student gov ernment. The committee was empow ered to appoint a group which should work over the summer to get at, the basic problems of student government, to clarify the issues, and t6 work next year toward discovering what can be done about solving the problems. FIRM BELIEF Expressing his firm belief in stu- . dent government, Dr. Graham said . that the test of one's belief in some thing is shown by what he does about it "when the storm is on." He ex pressed the belief that student gov ernment has great value for both the leader and the follower and that the latter, living in an atmosphere of free dom, often shows his development, by coming to the front when a crisis arises. Touching on the subject of his pro posed address, "Student Government (Continued on page 4, column S) ;-" ' SUMMER SOCIAL PLANS DISCLOSED Wood And Orchestra To Be Official Band The summer school social committee through its chairman, Harry F.

Other Activities Cause Resignation Of Rising Senior Bert Premo, recently-elected chair man of the Student party, yesterday resigned "in favor of someone who can devote more time and effort-to the du ties that the job requires." It was announced that Mitchell Britt, party head during the past cam paign, would take over the chairman ship again until next fall. Premo, rising senior who has been an active worker in the party for three years and was publicity director dur ing the past year, declared: "Due to my other activities I find that it will be impossible for me to retain the chair manship of the party. In all fairness to the organization I think it best to resign in favor of someone who can devote more time and effort to the du ties that the job requires.' Britt, who-led the party to one of its most successful elections - this spring, said "The student party, has accepted Premq's resignation and real izes that the chairmanship, combined with his other activities would, be, too much work for him." , . . . f ' i s i i i ii .It 5 ' t . t r ! ;" t 1
