IN FOUR YEAR DRIVE: Masons Student Union Plans Are At By EDITH MACKINNON Continuing in a four year long drive to acquire funds for a new i Student Union, the Graham Mem orial Student Union committee has arrived at another standstill. A plan which had been propos ed to finance ths $2 million pro-' ject by a program of self-liquida- tion has been vetoed by a coun cil of the Division of Student Af fairs. It was reported by the Student j Union Committee that Consolidat ed University President William Friday had stated this was "not the time" for such a self-liquidation program. In a Thursday meeting of the GM Board of Directors, Joel Fleishman, chairman of the new student union committee, an nounced permission had been de nied to borrow the necessary money. At the same time Fleish man stated William D. Carmichael, University vice-president and fin ance officer, had endorsed the stu dent union program and promised to lend his support in getting a high priority for the issue on the list of Consolidated University re quests of the 1959 session of the N. C. advisory budget committee. Recent discussions among stu VOTE COMES NEXT WEEK Bill Introduced Establishing Group To Investigate UNC Constitution By NEIL BASS . The most far reaching measure introduced at Thursday night's stu dent Legislature session was a biil creating a committee to "examine" the student Constitution. The bill was introduced by Stu dent Party chairman-floorleader Sonny Hallford upon the sugges tion of Attorney General Sam Wells. According to Wells, it is the com mittee's intention to make the con stitution more "fluid." Wells said the present Consti tution was too specific and en tailed tco much red tape for change. "We should have a state ment of general principles. . . with specifics in individual sta tutes," Wells said. Talent Show Is To Present Repeat Performance At WC By GRAHAM SNYDER A talent show which began as the combination of two ideas and two show. will travel to Woman's College on Feb. 26 to stage a re peat performance of its original j shew. The Carolina Cavalcade of Tal ent, branching out from its perfor mance here December 13, will pre sent the entire show at 7:30 p.m. in Elliott Hall at WC. . In March the talent shew will make a third appearance when it presents an hour-long show here on WUNC-TV. Initiated from suggestions by G C." Piidgeri, the Cavalcade's co director, the WC show will be held in of unction with GMAB and El liott Hall, WC's student union of activities. JOHN YOUNG In co-operation with John Young, I WUNC-TV assistant Director, the university's educational station will present the hour-long presentation of the show on March 8, from 8:30 -9:30 p.m. Young will direct the television performance. Pridgen said that the Caval cade will be presented as a com plete variety show, instead of in its original inception as a collec tion of talent acts. The number of acts to be uyed in the WC show will be a tentative j 14 to 16, according to Pridgen. The ) co-director said that one or two members of the original show may 'not be able to make the trip. AUDITION I At the same time Pridgen an- dent leaders and administrative officials, particularly Director of Student Affairs Sam Magill and President Friday,1 have seemed to re-emphasize the fast growing need for a new Student union building, adequate in size and central in location. Tvvo alternatives were drawn up by the committee to study needs of new student union to acquire funds for the project. Plan one proposed an appropria tion from the 1957 session of the N. C. General Assembly. This plan failed to be brought up be fore the 1957 session. The second alternative was to receive permission to borrow the necessary money. When the plan was vetoed by the council of the Division of Student Affairs, Pres ident Friday maintained the new student union was an integral part of the University and should be within the province of the state legislature. Opposition was also brought up by President Friday to the sug gestion the project be financed by a private gift. It is felt by the Student union committee the new union should be located in the vicinity of Emer son Field. The $2 million project would be able to accomodate a needs for a new union, and possi As for specific changes which Wells and his four-man committee plan to make, the attorney general had no comment. The committee's composition will consist of Wells, chairmen of the two political parties and two leg islators appointed by the student body president. WELCOME The Legislature's passage of Spe cial Orders to enable passage of a welcoming resolution to visiting University of Florida student body president Fletcher Fleming was significant. Fleming told representatives he was honored by the warm "hos pitality" which he had been shown during his stay here. The U. F. student president will i mmm . ..J H....II .. ..-.. I IIIJ.H I...

Cavalcade's winners nounced that a single audition will be held Feb. 18 from 7-10 p.m. in the Rendezvous Room of GM. Prid gen said that at that time new talent which failed to audition for j the original show may do so at this one opportunity. As a result of this hearing Pridgen said there is a pos sibility that one or two new actj may be included in the show. The WC presentation will include such performers as the winners of the show, Miss Mary "PeeWec Batten, Hoke Simpson, and Bruno's Combo. bly a suggested architectural plan. student body of from 8,500-10,000. Suggested facilities would in clude offices for student govern ment and official student activities, meeting roams for campus organ izations, informal lounges and a TV room, a, ballroom usable for banquets, bowling alleys, and a campus night club. With Carmichael's help, the drive for building funds is now hoped to go through the Com mittee on student union and local j administration to the N. C. ad visory budget committee. A deadline of April, 1958 has been set for the presentation of the student union committee's re-j port to the local administration. Providing this report is approved locally, it will then appear before the N. C. advisory budget commit tee in July, 1959. Until that deadline, a perman ent student union committee, con sisting of Fleishman, Sonny Evans. John Brooks, Don Furtado, and Dr. G. A. Barrett, has been set up to plan a prospectus to present ' be fore administrative officals. Included in that prospectus will be pictures of other student unions, both external and intern al features, statements of past and present student leaders and ad ministration leaders, statistics on return to the campus Mar. 1, to study Carolina student government and the integration situatipn here. Financial bills still are the top heavy item on the legislative doc ket, and Thursday night's session was no exception. $189 was ap propriated from student govern ment's general surplus. Absent from the session were: Frank Farrell (SP), Andy Mil nor (SP), Ben Peele (SP), Bill Rob bins (University Party), Leo Ward rup (SP). The Legislature will reconvene next Thursday night at 7:30 on the fourth floor of New East Build ing. All representatives, according to Speaker Sonny Evans, are urged to attend. The music for the Cavalcade will be provided by Don Jefferson and theEmbers. Cecil Hartsoe will be the pianist fcr the show. Both the WC and the televis ion shows will be equipped with a new master of ceremonies, Frank Crcwther. In conjunction with the idea of the trip, Pridgen said that "the show will not be presented for the purpose of making money. We hope (See TALENT SHOW Page 3) Standstill In reviewing the chances for the new student union, Chairman Fleishman made this statement: j "The committee was deeply dis-1 appointed in the lack of admin-! istrative support in our efforts to ! secure for the University a new f union building through appropria-; tion, self-liquation, or donation. However, we have been greatly j heartened by the many offers of assistance from various officers of the University," he said. "As was pointed out by Mr. Carmichael, who re-affirmed his support fcr our efforts to secure appropriated funds for a new structure, the planning during the next two years should be painstakingly and meticulously done. The Committee can lead the driv? for a student union, but it will take active assistance by those who are most vitally con cerned in this project the UNC students in bringing to the at tention of their representative; to th3 N. C. general assembly our desperate need in this regard. "We welcome and will be seek ing the active aid and advice of the students, the faculty, the admini stration, and interested alumni in planning and carrying through to fruition this vital project," Fleish man said. jiYfeg Terme 1 K FLETCHER FLEMING . . . fronyi Florida news in Israeli Sanctions Asked UNITED NATIONS, N.Y.

Perhaps the most noteworthy is the growing number of dances and parties each weekend. . . Back in the fall when one step ped out in evening attire, it wasn't hard for others to guess where the party or dance was. But now when evening clothes are the order of the day one cannot merely a-k where the party is, but which dance is the friend attending. Last weekend offered three big events for party-goers plus num erous other socials sufficient enough to leave the dorms and frat houses vacant and put most party attire in use. TO START OFF their weekend the Kappa Sigs opened the pro gram with a banquet Friday night at the house.
