A UiOJLli.X, FEBRUARY aiion j u Orientation Chairman Ken Bar ton, a former acting-president of the Student Body, last night became the Student Party's can didate for President in the ap proaching t early-April elections. The Elizabeth, N. J., junior was nominated by Ken Pennegar and received the bid by acclamation. In accepting the nomination Barton expressed his "personal desire to serve the students and to make student government their tool. I am convinced that through positive action this can be done, even on a large campus such as this one' he asserted. "A candidate, "Barton explain ed, "should not seek office in stu dent government without having a real reason for doing so. His term in office could not be suc cessful without a positive purpose and program. "I am looking forward,' he said, "to talking with the students of the campus in the coming cam paign in an effort to bring about a student government which is personal to them and which is based upon their needs. Student government is inadequate unless it serves every individual." He told the Student Party that "there is a need for a reaffirma tion of party principles if we are going to continue to serve the campus-and put in action the plat form which our name carries' Barton administered campus student government last summer a3 acting president during the first summer school term.

Legislature A special session of the Student Legislature has been called for tonight at 7:15 in the Di hall, third floor New West. They will set a new election date for the constitutional amendments.

The Student Council ruled the date void. Six days pubile notice must be given before an election can be held on an election concerning constitutional amendments ac- cording to the constitution.

"' ' ' -' " Wil ffempf eeting GUSC Gives John Clark Another Slap RALEIGH The student coun cil of the Consolidated University at a meeting here this weekend called upon the" University Board of Trustees to "take steps to pra vent recurrence of further at tempts to suppress the free ex pression of student opinion. The resolution, passed unani mously by the 33-member coun cil, was a slap at Trustee John W Clark of Greensboro. Clark has written letters to home town officials, as well as the Dialectic Senate in Chapel Hill, seeking information on Uni versity students opposed to seg regation. Student newsnanprs at both Womans College in Greens boro and the University in Chapel Hill, have charged him with trying to intimidate campus leaders with "Gestapo Tactcs." The Daily Tar Heel has also charged that Clark was trying to be a self-appointed censor of stu dent opinion. Eleven representatives from each of the three Greater Uni versity units attended the meet ing here which passed the resolu tion. Text of the resolution: "Where as: A certain alumni andor members of the Board of Trustees and others of the Consolidated University of North Carolina have attempted to influence student opinion through outside pressure and by a direct request to col lege administrators, and TirU T A A 1 of secrecy has continuously sur rounded the j handling of certain college funds. "Therefore; be it resolved that the student council of the Con solidated University of North Carolina take steps to prevent the recurrence of: further attempts to suppress the r free expression of sudent opinion, and "Article 2: That the Board of Trustees require tne publication of all information concerning the disbursements of student fundsv including the profits of all State controlled businesses patronized by the students. The portion of the resolution calling fr the publication of in formation concerning the use of student funds came as one of results of a lengthy battle at State College , this year; Student leaders at State demanded that figures showing the net profits of campus student supply stores be published. The figures were rpapers and a student mass meet ing.
