Phi Assembly
Favors WGA
Amalgamation
Inefficiency Charges
Answered by Vance
By Mary Hill Gaston
Two and a half hours of heat
ed discussion at the Phi Assem
bly Wednesday night resulted in
a 21-18 vote from the audience
favoring the amalgamation of
men's and women's student gov
ernment proposed in the forth
coming campus constitution.
Approximately 10 members of
the Phi were present at voting
time, falling far short of a quor
um and discounting their separ
ate vote. The audience was com
posed mostly of coeds, many of
whom left before the vote was
taken, though they indicated
their disapproval of amalgama
tion by applause all during the
session.
Main Speakers
Principal sneakers were Lib
Schofield and Ruth Duncan, both
against the measure, and Bob
Morrison and Roy Thompson,
who favored it. Seven other
speakers addressed the assem
bly, including Charlie Vance,
Jack Lackey, Charlie Britt and
Sybil Goerch.
Misses Duncan and Schofield's
principal objections centered on
setting up a single honor coun
cil for both sexes, abolition of
the Women's Interdorm Council
and a separate WGA budget, and
charges that men's government
falls far short of the efficiency
reached in WGA. Asked Miss
Schofield, "Why should women
be asked to give up what they
have to form something not as
good?"
Morrison spoke of the inef
ficiency and uncoordmation of

manding officer.
"No self-respecting college en
courages mass production, but
earnestly tries to help the in
dividual develop his own high
est potentialities. It encourages
free and vital self-expression in
contrast to the inevitable repres
sion of the Army."
Therefore, the authors con
clude, "transition from the 'you-
will-study' atmosphere of a high
school to the college's attitude of
'study if you will' is a difficult
period of wing-stretching for
many young people. When some
four or five years of Army life
intervene, the problem may be-
come infinitely more serious,
since in that time close super
vision has been continued with
a squad corporal or a platoon
sergeant or a company com
mander substituted for the for
mer school teacher."
To many veterans, the article
continues, a year at college or
four years, will provide a period
of readjustment to civilian life-
borrowed, yet well-earned time.
If the adjustment is successful
and the veteran's life is enriched
by his time at college, neither his

'Lawyers' Seek Any Port in Storm
As Pannill Brands Them 'Fouled Up'
By Bob Levin
Student Government at the University submarined to a new
low last night when 25 legislators barely a quorum voted 20 to
5 to nullify the decision passed on the first Secretary-Treasurer
election, disregarded the problems posed by the second election
Wednesday, and gave the highly coveted position to Bobby Stock
ton through political sleight of hand.
Chairmen
Urged to Make
Final Report
Chairmen of the various divi-
sionst of the Chapel Hill Red
Cross drive were urged yester
day by Chairman Russell M.
Grumman to have their reports
in not later than this morning,
March 8, the final day of the
campaign.
The local quota is $6,000, less
than half of last year's quota.
"Chapel Hill soared over the top
with $15,821, and we hope this
year's quota will be far exceed
ed," Mr. Grumman said. "Chapel
Hill has never failed to meet its
quota." .
The funds raised will be di
vided half and half between the
local and national chapters.
Committee chairmen feel that
the campaign is progressing
nicely at this point, and it is
hoped that all workers will be
ready to make their final reports
this morning.
Chairmen of the various divi-
sions are: Mrs. J. . L.mKer,
residential; Rev. Kelley Bar
nett, business; Walter Spear
man, campus; Liwignt Kay,
Carrboro; Miss Lib Henderson,
students; Floyd D. Turnage,
rural, and Mrs. Hubert Robin
son, colored.
time nor the government's money
will be wasted."
College No Vacation
Mr. Spearman and Mr. Brown
warn the veteran who yearns for
a year's vacation or a rest cure
not to go to college. "A college
worth the name is not a free
clinic or a health resort, and
education is not a shot in the
arm. The veteran who expects
the GI Bill to provide him a free
ride on an educational merry-go-round
will be disappointed in
college, and the college will be
disappointed in him."
They also warn that studying
is going to be hard after life in
the Army and on the battle-
fronts "If the veteran wants
to learn he must not go to col
lege with the attitude that he
knows it all already. No other
college generation has ever had
as wide a background of travel,
of experience in many fields, of
personal knowledge of strange
places and people and events.
But the wise veteran will not
allow this wealth of experience
to inflate his ego-to such an ex-'
tent that he thinks the college
professor has nothing new to ;
teach him."

long-standing decisions shovel
ed over a still-warm bill passed
by them two weeks previous
which declared the first election
null and void when Stockton was
reported to have campaigned
within 50 feet of the polls.
Stockton miscued again on Wed
nesday when he failed to turn
in-an itemized account of his ex
penses before the 7 :30 deadline.
Stockton was pushed into of
fice after a well-delivered speech
by Allen Pannill in which he
branded the Legislature as a
"fouled up group of lawyers who
were in a great hurry going no
where." He pointed out that
they were in great danger of
being "laughed at by the entire
campu3" if they failed to take
decisive action tonight." Claim
ing that the eventual winner had
barely 21 school days in office be
fore regular Spring elections,
Pannill demanded action. He
was assisted in his pleas by
Charlie Fulton of the Student
Council who bemoaned the poor
"state of our records" and
pleaded for someone to be voted
into office.
Although Stockton ran unop
posed on Wednesday's ballot, he
faced competition from a group
of campus leaders headed by Bob
Morrison, Buddy Glenn, Bill
Thomas, and Dick Stern who at
tempted to write in A. B. Smith
on a non-party ticket. Smith
garnered nine votes which would
have qualified him for a runoff
against Fred Bauder who re
ceived three votes and Blount
Stewart, once-defeated candi
date, who was given six tallies.
Numerous other singleton bal
lots were cast in the farce elec
tion which saw an apathetic
campus vote for a Lower Quad
janitor and Kilroy of war fame.
