Battle- Park Cleanup Day, Picnic Is Set The campus will march out to Battle Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock, led by Alpha Phi Omega, the Order of the Grail, YW and YMCA, Monogram Club, and the Valkyries, to begin operation cleanup. Under the supervision of APO and sponsored by the other or ganizations, cleanup day has been set aside to rid Battle Park of accumulated refuse and marks the climax of an APQ project to renovate the park. That same day, a picnic will be held at 5:30, after the work has been completed. Lists are posted in all men's and women's dormi tories for the convenience of those who plan to join in the project and picnic. It is necessary to sign these lists now, the YWCA picnic committee said, so that arrange ments may be completed. Part of APO's campaign to lift the weather-scarred face of the park, the program has the support of the University Buildings and Grounds committee which con tributed lumber and other ma terials necessary to accomplish the repairs planned. s Small work groups will be formed from those who volunteer and will repair park bridges, clean the picnic areas and build a rock dam for a small pond. Members of the service fraternity will be scattered among the groups to direct and assist in the work. Treatment has opened the door. The first step hoped for here is a better test for this disease. The Wasser mans and Kahns show only blood conditions, many of which lead to false diagnoses, and then con siderable time and expense to "straighten out. In the unpub lished records are cases where' syphilis was diagnosed in syphilis campaign leaders who never had the disease. . In spite of the powerful new tools available for the treatment of syphilis, there were still 231,000 cases reported in the United States last year, more than any other reportable "communicable disease except measles.

Fox re ported yesterday that progress in the campaign was "satisfactory." . Fox said that although less than 10 per cent of the 150 solicitors working in the dormitories and fraternities had turned in reports, contributions had on the whole been good. However, Chest officials yester day emphasized the fact that this is the only drive of the year and urged, students to give "heartily" in order to make it a success. Last year the Chest took in $4,500. There is no definite goal set for this year's drive, but of ficials are hoping to take in even more. The drop in enrollment presents a sesious problem, how ever, and solicitors are working harder to cover the whole cam pus. Chest Coordinator Bob Payne asserted yesterday that "if the campaign is to be a success, stu dents must give heartily and so licitors must do their best to get to every member of the student body." (See CHEST, page 4) Films Shown Today In GM Three documentary films will be the main feature of the Ren dezvous Room's Operation Four O'clock in Graham Memorial this afternoon.

"Passport to Nowhere," ,is the third film. - problem still remains a large one, and the search continues for new tools to -aid in its solution. The search aims at discovering the chemical substance in syphilis germs which cause the disease. That substance is unknown. To find it requires growing the, syphi lis germ, the spirochete, ir test tubes. That never has been done. At present these germs must be taken from tissues of people with the disease, and that source is not enough. Test tube growing is ne cessary to get enough to make the search. If the infective substance is found, it might be used for a skin patch test which would be spe 1951 United Party Also Names Senior By Charles McCorkle Daily Tar Heel Assistant Sports Editor Frank Allston, Jr., was given' a unanimous nod by the University Party last night to run for the editorship of the campus daily. The party followed that. up by naming Allan Tate its candidate for(sec-retary-treasurer of the student body in a close vote. Allston's name was the only one to go"on the floor in the two-hour UP meeting in the Kap pa Sigma fraternity house.t Two other potential candidates, pre sent Editor Roy Parker, Jr., and former Managing Editor Rolfe Neill, were dropped as possibili ties when it was discovered they were academically ineligible un der a recent elections law. Tate had. a little harder time getting his nomination. Opposing him were Jake Froelich, presi dent of the German Club, and Jim Mclntyre, the Student Party candidate for the post. No runoff was necessary to put Tate in, but a switch of one vote would have thrown it into a se cond ballot. The vote was Tate 13, Froelich 10, Mclntyre 2. In other business for the even ing, the party chose Anne Gowan to run for secretary of the senior class. She received. 13 votes to Leneve Hodges' 12. Allen Donald was named by ac clamation to run for treasurer of the senior class. For co-senior social chairmen, the UP picked Gene Hardin and Miss Hodges on a runoff vote. Adair Beasley was eliminated on the first ballot, and Betty Bowles was knocked outin thd second vote. Daily Tar Heel candidate AU fton is secretary of the Fublica tions Board, was editor of the YMCA Student Handbook, a member of the Grail, senior class social committee, and has served as a varsity track manager.

Furthermore, if this substance is is'olated it will almost certainly be used to try to make a syphilis vaccine. The laboratory is working also on a new test recently devised by Doctors R. A. Nelson and M. M. Mayer at Johns Hopkins Univer sity. This detects "false posi tives," the medical term for the errors of standard syphilis tests. The Johns Hopkins test requires expensive laboratory work. It is under intensive study here in hopes of finding clues for a quick, sure and inexpensive test that any doctor can use.

NUMBER 103 U LZ3LZJ it it it e a surer Law Also Puts Two Potentials Out Of Picture Legislature OK'd New Election Bill Only Last Week By Chuck Hauser An academic requirement to run for office buried in a Stu dent Legislature bill less than a week old turned up yester day to disqualify two candi dates for major offices in spring elections and eliminate at least two potential candi dates for top campus jobs. Disqualified' were Bill Prince, nominated by the Student Party Monday night for the presi dency of the student body, and Daily Tar Heel Editor Roy Park er, Jr., named by the SP Monday to run for a second term. Potential candidates knocked off party nominating lists were Dalton Ruffin, considered a strong possibility for the presidential nomination of the University Party, and Rolfe Neill, a Daily Tar Heel editorship candidate un der consideration by both parties. The rule affecting the candi dates was passed by the Legisla ture last Thursday in an omnibus elections bill presented to the body by Elections Board Chair man Julian Mason. The portion of the bill concern ing academic requirements for office holders demanded 40 hours of passing work in the past three quarters and an overall "C" av erage in the same three quarters. The old elections law required only 35 hours of passing work with, 20 hours of Cs or better in three quarters preceding the elec tion. The two campus political par ties immediately began seaching for fresh material for the spring elections battle. The elimination of Ruffin boosted the stock in Ben James' candidacy for president on the University Party ticket. James, long considered a candidate, had apparently withdrawn from the race recently, but within the last day petitions have appealed in dormitories backing him for the job. ,In the Student Party ranks, the job of president is wide open. Two possibilities for the post, Student Council Chairman Larry Botto and Henry Bowers, declined to have their names placed in nomination Monday night. It is understood, however, that Botto is the stronger potential candidate if he consents to run. With many candidates pre viously groqmed for office elimi nated by the draft and service enlistments, ' the disqualification:-; yesterday came as a hard blow to student government. Apparently they weren't to bo the last. Rumored as disqualified was Allman Beaman, Universiry Party candidate for head cheer leader. ' The Legislature law will definitely hit many other stu dents being considered for minor offices. ' SP Committee The Student Party Policy Committee will meet in the Grail Room of Graham Me morial at 4:15 this afternoon. Chairman Peggy Warren said yesterday. Vice Chairman Dick Murphy will lead the group in discus sion of the parly platform for the spring elections.
