Circulation: 9886 TIE IS BROKEN; DURE TAKES LEAD IN CONFERENCE Devils Trail, 31-19, At Half, Drive Through To Win By SHELLEY ROLFE Leading off in the first half at an amazing rate of speed, the White Phantoms closely resembled something the cat would not drag in respectable company tne second and dropped a 50-44 decision to Duke - at Woollen gym last night before 5,500 customers The result dropped Carolina out of a first class place Southern confer ence tie, putting the Blue Devils in front with nine wins and one loss. The defeat caused much consterna tion among the Carolina faithful and left many in a. profound "can such things be" feeling. Such things can be and were. Duke, behind 31-19 at the start of the second period and ap parently in as much danger of win ning as it was overthrowing the gov ernment, suddenly came to life. The Phantoms dropped dead during the period, collected 13 points while Duke was making 31 and could do nothing while the Devils were staging a finish drive that saw matters settled once and for all in the last two minutes of the game with a seven point rush, What made it worse from the local point of- view was that Duke won without the services of Glen Price, Chick Holley and Cy Vasalek. Mr Price, outstanding performer in the Duke cast, had a bad foot and played no more than several minutes. Holley, who made life miserable for Glamack the second .period, fouled out with 12 minutes left. Valasek was hurt fouling Severin and had to leave the game midway during the half.

McGaughey yesterday was enthus iastic about the new club. "A lot of us here on the campus have wanted some sort of organization that would be equipped to produce regular shows using only campus talent. We got off to a good start with our jamboree program, and now we ..want to take advantage of it by forming a perma nent club," he said. PLANS Already planned for production is a spring musical comedy to be pre sented in early May. McGaughey urged everyone interested in any phase of show production to attend this afternoon's meeting. "We'll need everything from script writers to stage hands," he said, "and students needn't be afraid to come out because they haven't had exper ience. At least three quarters of the cast in the jamboree show had never been on a stage before, but they had a darn good time and are among the most enthusiastic boosters of the new group."

Editorial: 4356, Newt: 4351, Night: 6906 GROUP MAY CALL PRIMARY BILL FROM COMMITTEE Changes Expected In Final Draft Of Constitution Two topics, the newly proposed Student legislature constitution and an attempt to bring a bill calling for campus primaries to the floor of the body, will share the limelight tomor row night in Gerrard hall at 9 o'clock at a special meeting of the legisla ture. The proposed constitution was in troduced to the legislature last week by. a specially appointed committee, but because of lack of sufficient time to discuss it, and also because there was controversy concerning the clause m tne constitution wmcn re-.- quires a two-thirds majority of the body's entire membership instead of the required quorum now in force in order to ratify it. Discussion by the entire body will continue through the entire constitu tion. Last week several changes werej made in the first draft, the most im portant of which was one changing the representation from 48 to 50 mem bers the editor of the Daily Tar Heel, and an additional town student increasing, the number. Mitchell Britt suggested that the "Powers"- di vision of "the document be "referred "to the ways and means committee for deliberation, but the matter was kill ed, and thus many changes are yet to be discussed by the legislature as ad ditional points are taken up. The other important topic to come up will be action to be brought up by Chuck Kline. Last week Kline intro duced a bill, and according to legis lature rules it was referred to the ways and means committee for de liberation. ' Friday the committee voted down the bill by a vote of 3 to 2. This action automatically keeps ( Continued on page 2, column S) .

ACTION REPORTED PENDING OUTCOME OF PRIMARY BILL Move Might Split Dorm Vote; U.P., SJY LeacJers Disapprove By CHARLES BARRETT A third campus party is looming on Carolina's political horizon, state ments from Preston Nisbet, chairman of the Student party, and Bob Sumner, chairman of the University party, in dicated yesterday. Nisbet said he had heard reliable reports that such a party would be or ganized if the campus primary bill is not forced from the ways and means committee and passed at tomorrow night's session of the student legisla ture. He said he believed the thiro! party would use the elections bill, introduced by Chuck Kline, as the basis of its program, but that in reality it would be a movement to split Student party support among the dormitories. 'The Student party has always been recognized as an organization aimed at giving dormitory men a proportionate voice in campus affairs," he said. "It is highly possible that realization of this fact could lead to an effort to split Student party support among the dor mitories. "This is even more likely since pass age last quarter of an elections pre cinct bill will place ballot boxes in one of the quadrangle dormitories." SUMNER Sumner said he had heard 'very in definite" reports of a thjrd jparty but that he saw absolutely no need for one. He expressed satisfaction that the pres ent two-party method has given the (Continued on page 4, column 2) TAR HEEL EDITOR WILL SPEAK HERE Jonathan Daniels To Appear Tuesday Jonathan Daniels, noted North Car olina author and editor, will speaK on "New England in Passing," at 8 o'clock Tuesday evening in Gerrard hall under the auspices of the Caro lina Arts group, chairman Simons Roof, announced yesterday.
