ABOUT PETE FULLY,
At Carolina we have an Honor System. This Honor System is
more valuable than all of our marble columns, more valuable
than all of the volumes in our library, and more valuable than
all the factual knowledge which we can acquire. Abiding by
.Li Tin Qttootyi ia nnf nlwavs ATI eaSV thine:. Cowards can not
mis nuuui ujron-iii u wv -v - -i
live under the Honor System, for often demands are made which
require more than ordinary courage.
Sometimes (often, in fact) a student can finish four years at
Carolina without facing the test; often a student can blind him
self to those definite evils which he sees, and fail to report them ;
perhaps there are some people who can accept personal honor
without demanding universal honor, but fortunately these per
sons do not dominate our ethical structure, or that structure
(and civilization with it) would crumble. V .
The question was raised Thursday night at the Student Party
caucus as to whether or not Pully is an honest man. All evidence,
except the latest, points squarely to the facMhat Pully abides
by the Honor System. , . . .
Chuck Heath, chairman of the Student Party, maintains that
Pully promised the Student Party that he would run on their
ticket for the presidency, and not on the ticket of any other party
if he ran at all. There are a large number of reliable witnesses
to testify that Pully made this agreement. r
At a rather dramatic moment Thursday night, a member of
the party rose to the floor and stated that there was a. rumor
that Pully had accepted the University Party nomination for
presidency of the student body. Heath re-stated the promise
which Pully had made to the Student Party, and saying, Pully
is an honorable man," denied the rumor.
Shortly thereafter the student legislature (of which Pully is
a member) adjourned, and Pully appeared in the lobby to an
nounce to Heath that he had accepted the University Party
nomination, and that he felt that it was right that he should
run on the University Party in preference to the Student Party.
The Student Party rose up in a fit of anger, and speeches against
Pully's integrity rolled from the rostrum. . .
Pully seems to maintain that he had not specifically agreedto
refuse the University Party nomination, for at the time Pully
had no belief that there was the remotest possibility of his nom
ination by the University Party., m
The situation approaches logomachy. There is a thin and
subtle difference between the statement "I will run on the Stu
dent Party ticket if I run at all" and the statement I wiU run
on the Student Party ticket and not on the University Party
ticket."
After a great deal of debate and conflicting opinions, Pully
has decided to run on the University Party ticket; (This report
was verified as page two went to press; the matter is sti 1 i quite
liquid, however, and may be reversed.) A wholesale attack may
be launched against him. Heath is undeniably correc m all of
his statements, and except for a very tricky piece of phraseology,
the fact that Pully made a mistake is evident.
The campus will have to decide as to whether Pully's mistake
was serious enough to disqualify him as president of the stu
dent bodv The mistake, if made in the ordinary matters which
confront men everyday, would J.
but this mistake was made n a matter which vitally concerns
five thousand or more men and women here at the University
of North Carolina. .
We want to say emphatically that from our personal acquaint
ance with Pete Pully we have found him to be very honest ana
very cabbie. We want to say that Heath and the Student Party
are perhaps over-emphasizing a point, but they are certainly
right in the statements they have made. In. regard to Unrver
sity Party Chairman Allan Pannll's refutation of the udent
Party charge, we think that he was sincere in regard to tne in
formation which he had, but that he was not fully acquainted
with the facts. . , . ' , .
The Student Party may push the matter of Pully s incon
sistency. Any student who is interested can read Pully's statement and
the other statements printed on these pages.
Leaders in student government know that Pully has an ex
cellent record, and Thursday's action was perhaps the first
thing he has done which could be interpreted as the slightest
infringement of the Honor System.
The campus will decide. B. M.

T wish to make this statement.
Some weeks ago a representa
j.: Gf,oT,f Pnrtv asked
me to consider running for an
office in the coming elections. In
T told him that I had
v
not even considered such a pos
sibility but that I would check
on the length of time I must be
here in school to finish and at
the same time check on my aca
demic work and with my family
in order to eive a definite answer.
My answer was held up chiefly
because my Mother was out ot
the state and I could not contact
her except on long distance in
Arkansas. In the meantime
Chuck Heath of the Student
Party asked if I would say that
I would run only on the btudent
Party slate. To this I answered,
that I had not been approached
hv anv other parties so natural-
lv if I received his party's nom-
ination I would run on his party
ticket if I ran at all.
After checking of the items
aforementioned I told the Stu
dent Party that I could not pos
sibly run. However they urged
me to reconsider and, to me, the
matter was dead. Numerous
members of the Student Party
continued to approach me in an
effort to get me to change my
mind about running for some of
fice. Taking this interest to be a
cpnnine one and of this I am sure
that they were, I again contacted
my family and others who could
help me make an intelligent and
fair answer, to both the people
in the Student Party and to my
self.
Last Sunday my family came
through Chapel Hill to help me

knew that I would accept a nom-

It is xrue mat x leit uuugaieu
to the Student Party because
they had shown a sincere inter-

-
candidate for office. In fact it is
my understanding that I was
presented along with four or five
other candidates before their
steering committee as a possible
nominee for President 01 tne
Student Body. The party at no
time promised me a dennite nom
ination for it would have been
foolish on their part to commit
themselves.
Thursday afternoon of this
week the University Party of-
fered me a nomination of Presi-
dent of the Student Body.
Thursday night I was assured
by the Student Party that my
nomination was a definite thing.
During the Student Party meet
ing and before the Student Party
had reached any decision by vot
ing I spoke with Chuck Heath
and Allan Pannill together in
Memorial Hall. I knew that a
third and final decision must be
made. I made is at that time. It
was to accept the nomination of
the University Party. This step
was not taken lightly because I
knew of the good faith which had
been expressed so often by mem
bers of both parties and I knew
regardless of what my answer
was, somebody was going to be
very upset and possibly bitter.'
I believe that Chuck Heath has
been hurt and unjustly so. He
has fostered me before his group
for some time and he has in
terpreted my third decision as a
"stab in the back." I am sure
that Chuck is sincere in his be
liefs. If I were a politician, 1 am sure
this entire affair in which two

The Rebel
Court Justice
Dear Editor:
It certainly looks like the lead
ers in this growing village in
which we go to school are going
to get their faces washed. They
have been sitting around just a
little too long. They wait until
the fire is burned out before they
put on water. Then it's a little
late. A number of them will
soon have some very pertinent
j questions to answer.
I If I misrht. I would like to in
sert two items here that they
and the University officials also
might ponder over:
lWhy is a man being allow
ed to live in a University-owned
house who has no visible means
of support? except bootleg
ging! other than two daught
ers working as waitresses!
Now my intention is not to
harm the man whatsoever, be
cause a good bootlegger here and
there seems to be a necessity in
our American economic system.
But I do know that the police
are familiar with him and his il
licit business, and as employees
of the University, they should
have long ago reported him to
the proper authorities assum
ing that they are ignorant of the
fact???

would be very helpful to every

exactly what the student body is

sometimes very revealing. I am
certain that it is not likely that

MANY think the curriculum

Hassell Hits Koral
To the Editor:
I take exception to that por
tion of the editorial by Dick
Koral appearing in DTH issue
of 30 April entitled "Majority
Problems Minority Participa
tion," quoted below. It is too
bad that an otherwise commend
able editorial should be ruined
by such illconsidered and illogical
argument.
The statement that a person
who does not participate in "extra-curricular
activities will
graduate a bore, unfit to partici
pate during his life with the in
tellectuals of the country, con
demned to the stulifying com
pany of the poker players, . . .
the respectable drunkards," is so
absurd any comment wrould give
it more dignity than it deserves.
This statement defeated the en
tire purpose of 'the article and
beclouded the issue.
