They added, "Our decision comes with much regret, not only for our selves, but for those who so faith fully stood behind us and worked for us." ; "We wish to sincerely apologize to everyone who supported us whether it was actively or passive ly." The pair continued. "We fully realize there are many who gave time and effort to our cause that tney really could not afford."

Crownover, Student Party candi date for vice president of the stu dent body, went on to say that these problems run from the need for a student union to a codification of judicial and financial policies. "1 can only promise that I will apply myself to the solution of the.se problems and the betterment of the student community with the same energy and interest that I have had in the past." he said. Crownover's student government experience includes dormitory pres ident and manager, .service on 10 executive committees and in Student L gislature and majority lloorleader I oi Legislature. ) "I would like to call to your at- tention," the candidate said, "sev jcral of the problems which 1 have i worked on during my inree years here and point out to you the im portance of being well-acquainted with the administration in solving these problems.

At present, jurors are selected by nterviews with applicants. Jim Crownover (SP) presented a resolution last session to declare student government policy in the area of enforcement of the drink ing rule. If sanctioned tonight, the legisla tors will declare that any display of ungentlemanly conduct due to exces sive drinking is a direct violation of the Campus Code. As such, subsidiary organizations and officers will be instructed to enforce the drinking rules, the Ori entation Committee will be directed to emphasize the above through pre sentation of the Campus Code and Honor Code, initial presentation will be publicized through dorm and chapter and pledge meetings and The Daily Tar Heel, and the prob lem will be emphasized throughout the year. By BEN TAYLOR The UNC Men's Glee Club left by bus this morning on a four-day tour which will feature them as the basic singing group for Wilmington's Azale.a Festival. The annual spring tour will take the 40-voiced choir on a quick swing through the Wilmington area and Cokei College in Hartsville, S. C. With the exception of today, the entire tour will center around the festivities of the Azalea Festival in the port city of Wilmington. The club's first stop will be made at S.anford, where they will per form before the assembly audience ef the Sanford High School. From there they will travel to Hartsville, S.

"One of the more informal, but important, duties ot the vice presi dent is to serve as student govern ment liason with the South Build ing administrators. 1 have worked closely in the solving of the pre viously stated problems with the business manager, director of oper ations, director of the University Book Stores, dean of student affairs, director of athletics, University physician and dean of women." Crownover asserted, "If elected, I pledge to you that I will continue to work hard and try to represent the best interests of each of you in your student government. I urge that you continue to ask questions and offer suggestions they are needed!" David Grigg, University Party candidate for vice president of the student body, said he was op posed to deferred rush and the combination of the Men's and Wo men's Honor Councils in a state ment released Wednesday. Grigg commented that he was opposed to deferred rush because of financial reasons primarily and he was opposed to a combining of the two councils "mainly because of the uncomfortable situation in which many of our women stu dents feel they would be placed." The candidate said he was in favor of a study of all phases of the Honor System. He is also urg ing a study of student finances to assure that the money is being spent to the benefit of the most possible students. Grigg also said he believes the only permanent answer to the lack of social facilities in the men's and women's dorms is a new and adequate student union. He stated his overall aim is "to give the entire campus my time and energy toward a progressive and realistic program in student government one which will be close to the students and will serve their best interests." In discussing the qualifications for the position he is seeking, Grigg s.aid, "I believe the major requirement for the vice president of the student body is to have not only legislative experience, but ex perience in a wide range of stu dent activity. "Because he presides over Stu dent Legislature, which deals with practically all student organiza tions at one time or other, I feel this general knowledge is essent ial to cary out his duties adequate ly."

Deferred rush, Gray said, would create three problems and possibly eliminate one problem. The three new problems are financial diffi culties, dirty rush and a possible decrease in the number of frater nities, he said. "The economic strain on fraterni ties would be terrific during a trans ition period. Many houses are in poor financial condition at the pres ent time and unless these houses can secure additional funds, many s.-rely will have to drop off cam pus," Gray said. He estimated the financial loss to most houses would be between $100,000 to $150,000. Dirty rush would be a real prob lem, Gray said, for both the IFC and freshmen. The freshmen would lose study time, and a silence pe riod for a long length of time would be "almost ridiculous," he said. The third problem created by de- He explained that "A fraternity that was attempting to improve its rating would almost have an im possible task, for the outstanding fraternities would receive the out standing pledges." Gray admitted that deferred rush might improve a freshman's aca demic adjustments, but "I think a compromise would be much more desirable than forcing deferred rush on the fraternities." Gray called for a trial period in which fraternities could prove they can be helpful to incoming students If this fails, he said, deferred rush might be feasible. If the Faculty Committee on Fra ternities makes a report for de ferred rush, Gray said he would continue to fight it "until all hope is lost." Then he would work to help assure the continued extistence of fraternities. He mentioned that he had been working on a plan to help fraternities if deferred rush cones, but would not release details of his plan. Ugly Man Contest Begins Candidates for UMOC, the Ug liest Man on Campus, are being chosen by campus dormitories, fraternities and organizations this week. Alpha Phi Omega, national ser vice fraternity, is sponsoring the contest which will be held from April 13 to the 18. The April 9 deadline for appli cations has been cited by newly elected APO president, Randal Ethridge. "We hope that the dorm itories, fraternities, and other or ganiaztions that wish to sponsor a contestant will turn in their ap plications soon if they have not already done so," Ethridge said. Each organization wishing to sponsor a candidate must submit three 5x7-inch prints of his picture and turn in or mail an application to the APO office, basement of Smith Drmitory. The office is open from 1 to 4 p.m. daily. The photographs may be obtain ed for approximately $2.50 from the Photo Lab or may be made elsewhere. , The contest is held annually at many universities and a plaque designed by L. G.

The contest will be decided through polls maintained at Y Court, the Pine Room and the Scutlebutt. Any student may vote for his choice for "UMOC" as many times as he chooses on the h::shi of a penny a vote. Refund Set For Defunct Publication Eias tri- Harken students! A wrong been righted.

"There is absolutely r.o doubt that had they chosen to stay in, they would have run a strong race and might very possibly hove won." Young concluded by saying, "Their courage and honesty in dealing with their problem, even at the cost of personal embarrassment, is to be commended." Middle East Crisis Looms In Broadcast WASHINGTON tfl Diplomatic officials reported Wednesday the Ir-raeli and Syrian radios have is sued a call for all military reserves to report to their units. Israeli government officials were said to have explained that the call did not mean general mobilization but only signalled normal military training for three units. A few hours later, reports reach ing here said, Radio Damascus in terrupted programs to order all mili tary personnel on leave to report immediately to their units. U. S. Government officials were perturbed by the broadcasts. They said it was difficult to say whether cr not they foreshadowed some military action in the Middle East. Radio Tel Aviv broadcast what it said was a call from the Israeli general staff calling on all Israelis tj report to their units. Military per sonnel were asked to listen for code names teiling them when and where to gather. Diplomatic authorities who have fcliowed Middle East developments say there have been no signs of any sudden dangerous increase in ten sions in the area. They were frank ly puzzled by the developments. The Damascus radio broadcast called on all soldiers on leave, as well as reserves, to report to units within 24 hours. t.Ajt i .OnHiili.il ial Hi ftuftajft 4 mm 0 A
