Analysis Of Election Shows Reasons Why UP Lost Again By Chuck Hauser The oldest political party on campus showed its age in Wednesday's general election run off. Split in a dozen different ways in the last campaign, the UP, with its strong grip on the town fraternity vote broken, seemed to be on the way out, most campus political observers believed. The party failed to place a single major candidate in office in a competitive race, al though it could claim credit for having been the first to nominate Bunny Davis for vice president and Sue Lindsey for Yackety Yack editor. Both went into office unopposed. In the presidential race and also The Daily Tar Heel editorship election, the UP candidates were eliminated on the first ballot, while in dependents and a Student Party nominee went on to fight it out in the runoff. Here are a few of the reasons why the UP lost: ' 1. Its strongest potential candidate for the presidency Ben James was refused the nom- ination, and ran as an independent to drain 011 mucn oi tne ur vote. 2. A member of one of 'the ternities in the nucleus of the party organi zation Henry Bowers was running for pres ident on the opposition ticket. 3. The vice-chairman of the party Archie Myatt was refused the nomination as pres ident of the senior class, and ran as an in- Losers, Winners Have Last Verbal Soundbff Participants in the spring gen eral election campaign for ma jor campus offices had their final say as candidates yesterday victorious and defeated. Henry Bowers, president-elect of the student body, commented: "With the deepest sincerity I wish to thank the students for iheir confidence in me and to express my gratification to those who worked so diligently for me in this election. I only hope that I shall be able to ful fill the great responsibility placed upon me and to help make stu dent government the kind of gov ernment the students need and deserve." Ben James, who ran indepen dently against Student Party-endorsed Bowers, had this to say: "Student government, or stu dent interest! in self government, has been in weak position for some time nojw. In Henry Bowers the Carolina student body has a president who can, with efficiency and a proper association of the presidency with the students, pull student government free from its present straits. "I congratulate Henry, and to him offer every bit of assistance that I can give in working always for better student government. I wish to extend my heartiest thanks to the hundreds of stu dents who backed me in the cam paign." Glenn Harden, coed who won the editorship of The Daily Tar Famous Prof To Talk Here Dr. L. L.

Grey Distinguished Service Pro fessor of Psychology of the Uni versity of Chicago since 1938 and a past president of the American Psychological Association, 'will deliver several lectures here next week.

A mandate means an order. I feci that the vote's represent orders orders to de liver to the students the best Daily Tar Heel possible six days a week as soon as possible." Don Maynard, who also ran as an independent for the editor ship, said: "My congratulations to Miss Harden on her victory. Her hard work in the past campaign made her well deserving of the honor. I shall continue to work under her leadership as long as my ser vices arc wanted and I am in school. "The voters who supported -me in the runoff and the wonderful faith they had in my reasons for running for the editorship make me feel very humble. To them, my deepest thanks." Straw Hats, Parties Set For Juniors Straw Hat Day will be cele brated next Friday, for all jun iors followed by the Junior Jam boree, a picnic-party, Saturday afternoon. The traditional Junior spring festivities will feature straw hats with "52," and a picnic at Hogan's Lake after the Blue-White game with skits, entertainment, and refreshments provided. A small band will supply the music for the affair. Hats for all Juniors will be sold starting Monday in the Y Court. With each hat sold will go a ticket number. A duplicate of this number should be kept for door prize drawings during the afternoon's picnic. About 15 numbers will be drawn. Included in the planning com mittees are Gene Harden, hats; Al Tate, food; Floyd McLean and Kathy Oates, door prizes; Frank Allston, publicity; Archie Myatt, transportation, Le Neve Hodges, Betty Ann Pullen, Betty Bowles, Rosalee Brake, and Dalt Ruffin. dependent, winning in the runoff over his UP opposition. 4. The University Party did almost no cam paign work in the dormitories, and as usual the Student Party bloc faithfully turned out at the polls. The UP was founded in the Roaring Twenties, and . became so strong that it held up through war, depression, and campus lethargy. But its history in the past few years has been a history of decline. Selfishness in vying for nominations in the party has probably done more than anything else to weaken the group. Last year the UP turned down a man for its presidential nom ination who -was generally acclaimed a sure winner if he ran for the office. That was Ted Leonard, at present a law student and president of the Interdormitory Council. The year before last, the UP nominated an other "dark horse" rather than popular Wayne Brenengan, who sought the nomination. Since the 1945-46 academic year, the UP has not had a president in office by itself. That year the man was J. Dewey Dorsett, who won as an independent, but won with full UP sup port and considered himself a UP president. The next year the Campus Party was formed, and the decline of the UP began. Tom Eller won the presidency on an SP-CP ticket. He was followed by Jess Dedmond, who required CP and UP support to win. Since then we have seen three SP presidents in a row Bill Mackie, John Sanders, and Bowers. - i IFC Elects Robison, KA, To Top Post John Robison, rising senior from Salisbury ana a member of Kappa Alpha Fraternity has been elected president of the Inter fraternity Council.

State Claims Negroes May Enter Here (Special To The Daily Tar Heel) RALEIGH, April 19 The State filed its answer today in which a Negro is suing for admission to the University of North Carolina Medical School. The answer said University Trustees had never adopted a policy of excluding Negroes from the Medical School, "as they had not been advised by the adminis trative officials of the University that any competitively qualified Negro students had applied for admission." Attorney General Harry Mc Mullan gave the State's answer in the suit of James Edward Thomas of Wilmington. The answer pointed out that the Trustees had approved on April 4 a policy under which "competitively qualified Negroes" may be admitted to graduate and professional schools of the Uni versity in cases where the State does not provide the courses they seek in Negro schools. , Atlantic Pact is Main Topic In Talk Here Korean Objective To Kill Commies, Reach Settlement By Rolfe Neill Soft-spoken Gen. Omar N. Bradley outlined our defense plans and progress under tha North Atlantic iJact m a speech here last night, then apologized during the open forum afterwards because he couldn't give direct answers to the hot political questions popped at nim. However, in a brief, to the point conversatoin laack stage with newsmen, the five-star Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff amplified one or two of his remarks. Asked about his state ment in Chicago Tuesday about Gen. Douglas MacArthur's advo cated policies "jeopardizing world peace," the Carolina Forum speaker replied: "I didn"t say they were my views. The speech was written three weeks before this MacAr thur question came up. It was to give our people the government's idea of what we're trying to do in Korea." He declined to further elaborate to reporters on a statement dur ing the question and answer per iod that General MacArthur's dis missal was "primarily political." Appearing here before some 2,000 students, faculty, and towns people who had filled Memorial Hall by 3 p.m., 30 minutes before his talk began, the -Missouri-born General Bradley tbld the aud ience the background and work ings of the Atlantic Pact. His generalizations on the Pact took up some 25 minutes. Thn he turned to the open forum, pre sided over by Chancellor Robert B. House. He .smiled as the first question er querried, "Would you care to comment on General MacArthur3 speech today?" The General re plied: "I listened to the speech I thought it wad a very good speech. I've not had a chance to study it. It would not be proper for me to discuss its pros and cons. I think General MacArthur's dismissal was primarily political and rny job is military." In his speech yesterday to Uk? Congress, General MacArthur claimed the Joint Chiefs of St;fT were behind him in every move. General Bradley's comment to a question: "The Joint Chiefs of Staff by law are military advisers to the president, Secretary of Defense, and National Security Council. We render our advice from a mil itary point of view, always realiz ing that military views are not necessarily the guiding ones. We feel our advice to them is con fidential unless they want to re lease it." The General declared our pres ent policy in Korea is "to stop the communists, kill as many as we can with a minimum loss to ourselves, and try to arrive at a condition which will permit us to work out some sort of settle ment and get out of Korea." He said he felt Europe's recov ery from World War II has hern such that the danger of "com (See BRADLEY, page 3) Old Well All persons who have not turn ed in theirOrder of the Old Well questionnaires should do so immediately.
