Harriss was nominated at a February 27 SP convention, which also nominated Hank Patterson for vice-president and Pete Thompson for treasurer. Harriss's full statement fol lows: There is a vital area where student government has defin itely fallen down. I have always been told that student govern ment is for the students and rep resentative of the students. If this is so why do so few people know anything about the work ings of student government or about the opportunities for lead ership training that exist there? People are amazed when they hear that there are nearly 100 elective positions and even more appointive positions. The only information most students re ceive on student government is contained in a few pages of the Carolina Handbook which is is sued during freshman orienta tion, ..I feel that a situation exists here that needs correction. I am going to work to see that each student is better informed about his student government and that each student realizes the opportunities that are avail able for him. In order to do this I will set up a special committee which DIVIDENDS DOWN February dividend action took another downturn continuing the trend set earlier by the slump in corporate profits, Standard & Poor's Corp. report ed.

In the past students have only seen their student government leaders during political cam paigns or heard from them oc casionally through the Tar Heel. Important issues come before student government throughout the year. I believe that the president should carry issues to the stu dent body rather than just to the narrow confines of his cab inet. If elected I am going to make it a point to talk before various groups in order to inform them as to what student government is doing. In my campaign I am going to bring out issues that are per tinent to the student body. I will be coming around to the different living units to discuss my ideas with each student per sonally. Any suggestions or opinions concerning the cam paign or the issues will be wel comed.

His full statement follows: 1. The chief responsibility of student government should be to serve students at the cam pus level. Orientation, the stu dent legislature, the IDC, and similar organizations and pro grams were established for im proving our student environ ment academically, socially, and culturally. The greatest responsibility here lies in keeping the students concerned and in providing op portunities for service for those interested. Individuals are the key to every project. For example, dormitory resi dents in their interest, recom mendations, and willingness to assist should best decide what student government might do to improve their social and study facilities. 2. Further, student govern ment must inform the students ordered an oxygen tent. It was not immediately used, but her condition apparently worsened as the day wore on because la ter the tent was placed over her head. Richard Hanley, the actress' secretary, said she was not tak en to a hospital because she was "too ill to be moved. "She is very seriously ill, Hanley said. "The prognosis is not good." But her personal physician, Dr. Carl H. Goldman, said ear lier that "she is expected to re cover. "She has a very high tempera ture," Golden reported. Her husband, recovering from an appendectomy, was described as "too upset" to talk to news men. tring Tonight at eight Graham Me morial is presenting the Salem College Trio in a recital of chamber music.

Its entire program has not yet been announced, but will in clude Brahms' Trio in B major and a Beethoven number. Works of Mozart, Schubert, and Ravel are also featured in its reper toire. Eugene Jacobowsky, violinist, Charles Medlin, cellist, and Hans Heidemann, pianist, are mem bers of the Trio. Heidemann. who made his de but at Town Hall in New York, has performed in Britain and Paris. He received his Bachelor of Music from Salem College, a piano diploma from the Julliard School of Musisc, and studied at the Brooklyn Conservatory. Jacobowskv earned his Bache lor of Arts from Juilliard and his Masters from Columbia Uni versity. Medlin. a native of High Point, was a student at Carolina before attending Juilliard. He played with the Indianapolis Symphony eight years ago. cjiioes as to its immediate areas of con cern and its accomplishments therein. When properly handled, communications between the students and student govern ment become a . powerful factor in stimulating interest, exchange of ideas, and action. 3. Student-faculty-adminis tration relations is another im portant concern of student gov ernment. The administration is always willing to hear student requests and to respond, and students should be kept fully informed as to administrational sentiments and policies. 4. Student government is a continuous operation whose projects are often not completed in a year. It should continue next year the work underway toward faculty salary increases and1 an undergraduate library student union and toward estab lishing an all-campus entertain ment organization. 5. There are often opportuni ties for student government to extend beyond the campus. When it does, it should repre sent our students in a dignified, open-minded, and dynamic man ner. In expressing themselves, its officers should carefully dif ferentiate between personal feelings and expression of what they feel to be majority campus opinions. - These, I feel, constitute the principle responsibilities of stu dent government, and I will elaborate on them throughout the campaign. Student body of ficers are essentially co-ordin-ators for activities designed to meet these obligations, and X will present my ideas as to what I should like to do. These or any ideas, however, can become realities only through concern and co-operation among all of us next year.

A minister saved the Americans from violence by blocking the door of the tea shop and telling the demon strators: "Don't do anything silly. Get back. Leave these boys alone." The minister, The Rev. G. G. Kenyonn Wright of the Methodist Church, was one ofj the 1,500 demonstrators who massed here for a protest march to the U.S. Polaris submarine supply depot at nearby Holy Loch. Most of the demonstrators were members of the Scottish Council for Nuclear Disarma ment. At the Holy Loch they ran into a counter-demonstration by a little old lady from Kentucky waving an American flag. Proieus Crewmen The two sailors forced to run by the group of a dozen or more Constitutional Amendment Vote Comes Tuesday Students will . vote on a Stu dent Constitution amendment to alter the student judiciary system Tuesday in a general election. The amendment proposes sev eral major changes in the pres ent judiciary system.

Salem College String Trio ' o o demonstrators were among the 950 crewmen of the U.S. supply ship Proteus which ran a float ing picket line Friday to dock here and serve as base for Am erican submarines carrying Po laris nuclear missiles. After the Americans ducked into the shop The Rev. Wright guarded the door until the dem onstrators left to take part in the march to the banks of the Holy Loch where the U.S. ship was anchored. About 800 of the demonstrators arrived aboard a River Clyde steamer. The Rev. Wright was one of the marchers. He carried a ban ner reading, "Americans, we like you but not your Polaris." Other signs read: "Must Glas gow perish? Polaris go home." Bagpipes and a guitar jazz band led the marchers, some of whom sang a song aimed at local businessmen who might believe the basing of the Pro teus nearby would bring them more money. "Sing ding, dong dollar, ev erybody holler," the marchers sang. "You can't spend a dollar when you're dead." Demonstrators marched three miles from Dunoon to Holy Loch where they listened to speakers urge the British gov ernment to make the Americans go home.
