YWCA Staffer To Speak Tonight
Anne Queen, of the YWCA staff, will address the Interna
tional Student Board tomight on her experiences during the Vienna
Youth Festival this past summer.
The Board will meet for supper at 6:30 p.m. upstairs in
Lenoir Hall.
Concerning her observations in Vienna this summer, Miss
Quecne says, 'I have returned with the clearest conviction that we
in America must become more articulate and sophisticated in our
understanding of our political tradition and the purposes embodied
in this tradition.
"In the kind of politically unstable world in which we
live, boasting about our material goods and outwittting our
opponents are not good enough."
Miss Queene's speech and the meeting itself will serve as a
"kicking off" point for the International Awareness Week, Nov.
30 to Dec.5, which the Board is sponsoring for the whole campus.
The purpose of the Aveek's observance is to stress the responsi
bility of students in the. area of international relations and to make
the student more aware of this responsibility.

RALEIGH (iD Atty. Gen. Mal
colm Seawell reiterated Monday
he plans to bring court action
against some oil companies unless
they cease price fixing operations
under the state's Fair Trade Law.
Seawell said he thought the
action would come within the
next week or 10 days "if they
don't quit fair trading."
Under the Fair Trade Law, sev
eral of the major oil companies
have oeen dictating to their deal
ers the minimum price at which
gasoline is to be sold at retail.
Gasoline prices in the state have
fluctuated violently up and down
in recent weeks.
Esso Standard Oil Co. announced
over the weekend that it was halt
ing its fair trade operations. An
other firm, Phillips Petroleum,
said it was considering the possi
bility of halting fair trading.
Seawell said in a speech at Dunn
several weeks ago that he was con
sidering going into the courts to
seek an injunction ordering the gas
I firms to cease fair trade opera
Election Ruled Out
As Reason For Move
By HENRY MAYER
Jey Deifell, chairman of the Elections Board, has announced that
he will resign shortly after the Thanksgiving holidays.
Deifell emphasized that he had been considering the move for
the past four weeks, and it was not in any way precipitated by last
week's election.
"I feel that I must devote more tim to my studies," DeifeH
stated, "as well as th two part-time jobs I currently hold."
SP Calls
For New
Election
By HARVE HARRIS
The Student Party called Monday
for a new election in those offices
in which contestants finished less
than 50 votes apart in last Tues
day's election.
In an appeal file with the Student
Council the party cited five irre
gularities in the elections:
1. Irregularity in the tabulation
of votes.
2. Insufficient number of bal
lots distributed.
3. Premature closing of polls
in Avery dormitory.
4. Improper listing of candidates
in ballots.
5. Failure to have two poll ten
ders at every poll. i
The appeal also requested the :
council to "ask the political sci
ence department of the University
of North Carolina to supervise the j Hp3rl cheerl;idr Charlie Gra

lion and the tabulation of votes ; attend tho nrn raiiv nn FmDr.n
cast .
Student Council chairman Erwin
Fuller stated that the appeal would
be reviewed in tonight's meeting
of the council.
In commenting on the anomilies
cited in the appeal. Elections Board
Chairman Jey Deifell made the
following statements:
"The Elections Board checked
previous records of elections against
the present enrollment at the Uni
versity. We felt that to print bal
lots tnat tallied 100 percent with
the number of students enrolled
would be a waste of money.
For example, this would have
wcciiu pnuuug some iouu ir esnman
ballots. As it turned out, only about
800 freshmen voted.
"The dormitory presidents had
designated to them a list of poll
tenders for Tuesday's elections,
in accordance with the elections
laws."
Deifell further declared that the
polls were opened and closed at
the proper times according to elec
tions laws.
At the tabulation of the votes last
Tuesday night, Deifell noted that
"things would go much faster if
we had a consistant number of
vote counters."
Likely' In Gas Cases
tion. He also said he would ask
the next legislature to repeal the
Fair Trade Law as contrary to the
public interest.
Seawell expressed the opinion
that the Fair Trade Act as ap
plied to gasoline would not
stand up if it were tested in the
courts.
A reporter asked Seawell if he
were engaged in a campaign to get
the oil companies to halt their price
dictating operations so that it
would not be necessary to go to
court.
"I wouldn't say that it is a cam
paign," said Seawell. "I made the
statement several weeks ago that
they could possibly expect court
action within three or four weeks.
But, he said, if the companies
halted their fair trade operations
"it would suit me fine."
Normally, the attorney general's
office operates on the principle
that a law enacted by the legisla
ture is constitutional until the
courts have ruled to the contrary.
That principle, Seawell said.
"When I was appointed to the
Legislature this fall. I discussed
the situation with Charlie Gray
and was asked to continue as board
chairman through the fall elec
tions. If, after the elections, I felt
that the combined responsibilities
of the Legislature and Election
Board were too great, I could re
sign." When questioned about his
successor, Deifell had no com
ment other than the fact that he
hoped the new chairman would
be appointed from the current
board.
Deifell announced that he would
issue a formal statement concern
ing his resignation and certain
recommendations on .election pro
cedure after the Thanksgiving re
cess. O

I Dr. Gibson Attending
L
Dr. J. Sullivan Gibson is partici
pating in the annual meeting of
the Southeastern Division of the
Assn. of American Geographers at
Gulfport, Miss., Nov. 22-24.
Dr. Gibson, associate professor
of geography, is presenting two
papers: "American Orcharding A
Multimillion Dollar Business' and
"Prince Edward Island Gem of
the Mantimes."
"has caused me some concern."
But, he added, if it should come,
"down to a question of challeng
ing a law when it is used as it is
being used by the oil companies,
I would have no compunction to
challenging it."
Ironically, the State Supreme
Court has ruled on the Fair Trad
Law only once in the 20 years
since it was enacted. Its opinion,
upholding the constitutionality of
the law. was written by Seawell's
father, the late Associate Justice
A. A. F. Seawell.
Seawell said it is quite possible
the courts could rule out price fix
ing by oil companies without rol
ling on the constitutionality Of the
jlaw because gasoline is not sold ia
containers bearing the firm's
brand name. He pointed out that
courts will rule on constitutional
questions only if they fail to find
other questions on which to rule.
He said an action brought by his
office "would ue on the grounds
that the fair trade law does not ap
ply ... the product not being con
tained." - . .4
