C, TUESDAY, MAJfcCH 31, 1942 Editorial: Neat: XS1 ; Kitst: 94 NUMBER 130 Masaoy k To Lasla Axi Pre-Campaign Information Plan Stated Emergency Group, Gives Platform For Clean Politics The Emergency committee, spontan eous student-organized group to clean up campus politics, yesterday hit the season's candidates with an "action policy of aggressive enforcement of good politics." Announcing the steps in its program of pre-campaign student information, the committee put forward the follow ing projects in cooperation with other student organizations. CPU Debates 1. One week from today, April 7, the CPU will put candidates for the leading campus offices on the stump in Memorial hall. Candidates will be ex pected to appear and put forth a plat form "constructively" based on the committee's 12-point program. 2. The committee, in cooperation with the Daily Tar Heel, will print the platforms of opposing candidates for any office, if the candidates sub mit their platforms to the Tar Heel editorial offices soon enough. All plat forms should be turned in within a week. Qualifications Published 3. One or two days before elections, April 16, the Tar Heel, will print in condensed form the qualifications and platform of each candidate. "If the nominee has advocated nothing, has devoted all his time to shaking hands instead of trying to help the campus, his name will be conspiciously followed by a bold face comment no platform." A meeting of the Emergency commit tee has been-called for next Monday night, Henry Moll, chairman, an nounced yesterday. "It is expected that the qualifications of all candidates as well as their platforms will be discussed during this meeting. The committee will then interpret the ability of each,' said Moll. All candidates who served on the committee will automatically resign. Success Predicted In Drive for Funds For Child Cripples The annual Campaign for funds to aid the state's 10,000 crippled children, which will close Saturday, C. E. Mc intosh, Executive Secretary of the North Carolina League for Crippled Children said, every indication shows that 1943 will see the most successful campaign of this type in the history of the League. "There are several reasons for this,' he said. "Chiefly they are that every one is more keenly aware of the real meaning of Americanism now that the nation is at war and, second, the pub licity is the best the campaign has ever had. Referring to the publicity, he point ed out that the North Carolina Dra matic association had written a one- act play depicting the plight of crip pled children which is being produced in 54 different counties. . Records made by Kay Kyser boosting the campaign are being played daily over 26 radio stations. The state press is also co operating to the limit, he said. Money derived from the sale of Easter seals will go to aid the more than 10,000 crippled boys and girls in North Carolina, the executive secre tary explained. Of this number, less than half can be cared for by the funds allocated by the States to the two agencies which have been set up to care for such children, and to the State hospital at Gastonia. Town Girls Council To Meet Tonight The executive council of the Town Girls Association will meet tonight at 7:30 in the WGA room in Graham Memorial to make plans for the elec tion of new officers "for next year and to consider the possibility of a dance this weekend. This meeting is required for all council members but is open to all town girls, it was announced. Meeting Called Tonight On S&F Reorganization Reorganization of Sound and Fury, two-year old campus musical comedy group, will be effected to night at a special called meeting at 7 o'clock in the Banquet hall of Graham Memorial, President Randy Mebane stated late last night. It was indicated that a new con stitution would be drawn up and 'the office set-up rearranged. The execu tive committee, in a three-hour ses sion last nighi,' failed to arrive, at any decision on nominations for new officers. Miss Mebane stressed the imper ative necessity of all members at tending tonight's meeting to ex press their views and ideas in the renovation. New officers will be elected. Coeds Barred From Lodges Caldwell Releases New Regulations A new regulation governing coeds, which prohibits their entrance into even the parlour of any building, home or apartment in which men students are lodged, was announced last night by Mary Caldwell, chairman of the Woman's honor council. In an attempt to call the new regu lation to the attention of all coeds, fac ulty members, and men students liv ing in town homes, apartments or coop houses, Miss Caldwell explained that exception to the rule will be taken only is specific invitation to entertain a coed is made to her through her house mother, and is approved by the housemother. In such cases adequate chaperonage is necessary for parties, while signing out with her house mother is necessary for visiting faculty members in whose homes men students are living. "This rule and red tape seems un avoidable now that so many men stu dents are living out in town," stated Miss Caldwell. "At present it is the only way we see to keep other parties ana entertainment ot coeds on a par with those given in fraternity houses. An earnest effort on the part of all concerned to cooperate with this rule will lead to its revision in the future. We will try to cooperate with any or ganized houses wishing to take defi nite steps to secure the privilege of entertaining coeds." The new ruling does not apply to the social fraternity houses covered by the present Interfraternity Agree ment. All other residences, however, in which one or more boys are lodged, are now on the coeds "no admittance" list. This includes dormitories, coop houses, professional honorary frater nity houses, West house, Acacia cot tage, individual apartments, and pri vate homes in Chapel Hill in which men students live. A Cool Million Carolina Now To Win Ackland Art Suit Today Rollins College and Carolina out to discuss bitterly the circum- work side by side, . but tomorrow they'll be slugging it out. In the many-faceted suit for the Ackland art memorial million, Rollins and the University are ironically in harmony in the present hearings, so that the third party the Ackland heirscan be legally pushed out of he picture. But the minute that ex- pected move comes, both institutions' awyers will get down to work to give the other a TKO. The chances now are with us, in spite of the fact that Carolina's in- tervention was denied March 16. Rol- ins and UNC have a legal doctrine cy pres behind them, and internal wrangling among the relatives to strengthen their own side. And even if the relatives finally are awarded the fortune, they won't get the whole $1 395,400 anyway. At least 40 per cent will be deducted in inheritance the Duke Board of Trustees conven- taxes. ed to discuss the will. Just enough While attorneys for all three fac- of the trustees had been convinced tions labor away and the will's execu- that acceptance of the Ackland me tors pitch in, higher-ups take time See ACKLAND WILL, page b UP Nominates Johnson As Senior Legislator Second Coed Candidate on Party Slate Is Member of S&F, Cheerleading Squad By Billy Webb . The second coed to be nominated within a week by the University party, Pat Johnson was last night named as candidate for senior member to the student legislature. Attending Fairfax Hall as a college freshman, she later transferred to Meredith where she became a leader in the YWCA council and was appoint ed 'to the president's council because of outstanding achievement.

" The nomination of Miss Johnson follows last week's nomination' of Jinnette Hood for senior7 secretary, these two candidates being the only coeds thus far named in the spring elections. Ervin Bowie, chairman of the University party, stated last night that the party will probably complete its entire slate within the next wek'f Among the more outstanding candi dates which the University has nomi nated for campus offices are Bert Ben nett for president of the student body, Steve Peck, present head of the Uni versity club, for vice-president of the student body ; With the University party speeding up its nomination machinery to rush completion of the entire party sltte, Miss Johnson's nomination still leaves four vacancies in the senior bracket, the vice-president, treasurer, and two members of the legislature still to be named. OSCD Initiates Dorm Store Drive For Stamp Sales Student Office of Civilian Defense announced yesterday the start of a dorm store drive for the sale of defense stamps. All dormitory stores have been equipped with ten cent stamps and posters supplied by Washington. "This is the first opportunity that the student has had to place his spare nickles and dimes in the defense effort without inconvenience," said Louis Harris, student coordinator yesterday. The "Take Your Chanee in Stamus slogan will e the keynote of the new drive. "Dorm stores provide the ideal set-up for stamp sales to students. said Pat Winston, morale head. "Dorm sales are expected to boost defense con siderably on the campus," he added. the Favorite stances in which they got into the fight in the first place. , It was Duke's late president Wil- liam Preston Few who got everybody running in circles. First, the big men in the case will tell you, Few high- pressured old Mr. Ackland in getting him to will his money solely to Duke. When Ackland died, the will execu- tors had to comb the seaboard from Maine to Florida to get 70 friends of Ackland to testify that Ackland was sane just to prevent the Ackland relatives from successfully contesting the will's validity. Duke's architect, one Mr. Trom- baur, had completed blueprints for a magnificent memorial, built from Duke's own stone quarry. And then it happened. After the all-important turning point the death of President Few, Change Set Up For 'Hatch Act' Legislature Hears Changes Tomorrow Foremost on the docket for the Student legislature session tomorrow is the introduction of an amendment to the Political Expenditures Bill by Bucky Harward, chairman of the Elections committee. The amendment to be considered will propose the elevation of the ex penditure limit for the $7.50 group to $10, because the Daily Tar Heel has indicated that it cannot pay for the cuts in this category. Candidates for sophomore, junior and senior presi dent, and Student council representa tives are included within this group. Engraving Costs The cost of engraving regular sin- le column cuts is $2.50, so that this amendment will in reality leave the limit where it was. Postponement of the recurring question of magazine combination, abolition, , or continuation, was an nounced yesterday by the Ways and Means committee. The legislature dis cussion was originally scheduled for tomorrow night, but requests from publication editors for postponement until the March issues of both maga zines have been published. "The new est efforts of both staffs will thus be considered and the evaluation of each made more accurate," said Henry Moll, Carolina Magazine editor. The Hatch Act was first introduced last year and passed at that time by the Student Legislature. It represents a great advancement in student gov ernment in as much as it tends to clean up campus politics which be fore last year had been rather free in its regulations.
