Fraternity Political Situation Quiet After Editor Nominations Party Leaders Await Ratification Of Constitution in Tuesday's Vote After a short burst of nominations for publications heads both the University and Student Parties are taking a short rest while everyone waits to see what the student body will do when the long awaited constitution is presented for ratification Tuesday. . Carolina's annual spring elec - tion is slated for Tuesday May 14. Just a little more than two weeks remain for the usual po litical rallies, campus coverage by campaign literature and man-to-man back-slapping. Leaders of both parties are anxious to get on with the nominations and start their pleas for student support-Constitutional Vote At present there is little more that can be done. Some posts which have been filled in the past in general campus elec tions will not be filled in that way if the new constitution meets with the student approval needed for its ratification. Other student officers will find themselves with very different duties under the new document. Leaders of both parties have de cided to postpone the nominat ing of these leaders until it is known just what their duties in UNITED PRESS Officials Say Found for Liquor Charge Mayor and Chancellor Make Statements Denying Allegations Against University Officials of the University of North Carolina -and the town of Chapel Hill said today they had not found any evidence to support charges made by Thomas A.

Gregg Cherry, that certain members of the State Highway UVA Supports Cause of OPA Group Petitions Names for Protest The University Veterans As sociation began circulating a pe tition Friday protesting con gressional action which might lift OPA control. "The lifting of OPA will bring about inflation and will de feat the purpose for which the GI bill was created under Fran klin D. Roosevelt's administra tion and which was revised as of the first of this year by con gress" said Blount Stewart, President of the UVA. The petition which the UVA hopes will be signed by towns people, faculty members, and all students, veteran or otherwise, will be circulated in Lenoir Hall, the YMCA, the Carolina' Inn, Graham Memorial and at a regu lar business meeting of the UVA Tuesday at 7 :30 in Gerrard Hall. The petition, which is already underway and has been signed by more than a 1000 people, is hoped to have gained at least 3000 signatures before being taken by representatives of the University Veterans Associa tion to the offices of Senators Hoey and Bailey in Washing ton. . Joining with the UVA in cir culating this petition protesting See UVA Page U wiU be" In the meantime the fight goes on for the constitution. Members of both parties are throwing their support behind it and hop ing that the student body will get out and vote for it when the polls are opened. Months of re search, debate, fights and com promises have gone into the new constitution. Student legislators have spent several nights of every week for the past month in getting it ready for ratifica tion. Student needs have been studied carefully, and framers of the constitution believe they have produced a greatly-improv ed plan for student government. Members of both parties worked hard and long to .prepare the new constitution. Now most of them are working hard again, trying to make a student body, traditionally uninterested in po litics, to take five minutes to vote for their own welfare. Thornhill Concert Carolina Victory Political Chaff No Basis Patrol in this section and Chapel Hill police were involved in il licit liquor operations. Henry, who resigned as lo cal prosecutor under pressure after being convicted of reck less driving in Durham Record er's Court last year and who now has charges of drunken driving pending against him in the Orange County Superior Court, had also charged that the Uni versity was being used as a "front" in the alleged liquor ope rations since it was making an annual contribution to the town government for police and fire protection. House Gets Letter Chancellor Robert B. House said that Governor Cherry had forwarded Henry's letter to the University about a month ago, that a careful investigation was made at the time, and that no evidence was found to substanti ate Henry's charges., r' . " Mayor R. W. Macfry said he and the Board of Aldermen had read Henry's letter and had not found in it any evidence to sup port Henry's charges. As for the allegation about the University being a "front", such a charge seems "ridicu lous", Mayor Madry said. Un der an agreement in existence for 25 years, to my personal knowledge, and probably much longer that that, the Universi ty has made a small contribution annually to the town government for police and fire protection." Sgt. R. S. Harris of Durham, District chief of the State High way Patrol in this area, said the charges indicated Henry was seeking "revenge" for the two arrests made by highway patrol- men.
