Martin as their leader and replace him wjih Charles A. Halleck of Indiana. The vote, taken in a secret ses sion on the eve of the new session, of Congress, was 74 for Halleck and 70 for tte Massachusetts congress-, man who has been the House GOP leader far 20 years. There was little or no question of conservative-vs-liberal attitudes, as has cropped up among Republicans in the senate. Martin and Halleck are both basically conservative. Martin's age, 74, was against hini. Halleck is 58 and a sharp-tongued partisan battler, whereas Martin by his own description is an apostle of the conciliatory way to get things done. , There were two votes. Tlie first was announced as 73 for Halleck, 71 for Martin and one spoiled ballot. Two members apparently abstained, since it was announced 143 were present out of the House Republican membership of 153. - In any event, the first ballot gave neither man a majority. The second, and clinching vote of 74-70 meant that four did not vote. The rebellion against Martin broke into the open only last night. when Halleck announced his can- tamed at the Stancell Motor : Co., 112 West Franklin SL, upon presea-1 clidacy. 1 'It spread fast, and Martin's de- tation of a renewal card.

The vote for a jsecret balloi was reported at 95-50. Elated, one Halleck supporter told newsmea then that many KepuDii caas cataloged as uncertain would vote for Halleck.

Serving the campus as a daily ex pression of the Methodist Church, it attracts 100 to 300 students each week. 1,730 STUDENTS i pproxlmately 1,750 UNC students list themselves as Methodists or as preferring the Methodist faith. "This represents the largest body of Methodist students on a North Carolina collegt campus," the Rev Mr. Johnson aid, "But we have no illusion of reaching all Methodist students. We want most to help the few who are interested in an honest examination of the Christian tradition." The Rev. Mr. Johnson believes that quanity is no substitute for quality. "The most significant thing we can do is to sincerely help sev eral students, rather than to just reach' 10,000." "Does the way we warship tell us what god we worship?" The Rev. Mr. Johnson asked. "Do we want a 'jag' out of our religion? An emo tional feeling? Are we worshiping the Christian God?" These are the questions that pose the biggest problem for campus re ligious leaders, he believes. Wor ship, lie said, is an ever-present problem on campus. SIX FOUNDATIONS IN STATE The Wesley Foundation is one of six such groups in the state. Others are at Cullowhee, Eastern Carolina, Appalachian, Raleigh and Winston Salem. Those in Raleigh and Win ston-Salem serve several colleges'. These groups are not subordinate J rustic barn. This is the worship cen to any one church, but are inde pendent units under the Methodist Church as a world organization. Wesley Foundations are established on independent, non-Methodist col lege campuses and state-supported colleges. The groups are supported primarily by the Methodist Church. SUNDAY SUPPER-FORUMS Here on the UNC campus, one phase of tht weekly program re gularly draws large numbers. It is the Sunday Supper-Forum, Crowds averaging around 200 in number gather each Sunday night for supper at 5:45 and to hear a prominent speaker at a 6:45 forum. Many stay for vesper services at 7:30. These Sunday evening meetings, as well as the Sunday Seminar at 10 a im. are held in the basement of the University Methodist Church. All other functions begin at the Wesley House, 214 Pittsboro St. 'next to the Tri Delt House). SERVICES IN A BARN Behind the Wesley House is a ter during the week. Vesper services aire held each afternoon at 5:30 Services are informal and last only 15 minutes. ine Wesley House itself was bought during the past year, and was first used by the group in Sep tember. Although it is only a tem porary buildirg, it presently serves as the recreeation, study and ad ministrative center of the founda tion. NEW BUILDING PLANNED "A new $310,000 unit is planned for completion by the fall semester of 1951," the Rev. Mr. Johnson said "In the new building will be a chap el a religions library, seminar 9 rooms and a full size basement. "We also hope to have a residen tial area for about 20 men. . "The highlight of the coming year will be the Wesley Lectures," he said.
