Grimsley Cites SP's Status In Opening Campaign Release "The Student Party has been rebuilt and returned to the status which carried its can didates to major offices in past years," Chairman Swag Grim sley said yesterday. In a statement prepared for the DTH, Grimsley noted that "the SP has endorsed student body officer candidates whose abilities and experience equal or surpass former executive of ficers." "We are a campus-wide party which represents no particular interest group," Grimsley noted, "but have pledged to represent the students wherever they may live." "Our candidate for president, Bill Harriss, has gained a firm grasp of the organization of Stu dent Government. He has prov ed a skillful organizer and com petent administrator by being primarily responsible for the new status of the Student Par ty. His numerous activities have given him an understand ing of the problems which face Student Government now. An excellent speaker, an indus trious student, and a student who is vitally concerned with other students' problems, Bill Harriss is the latest in a long line of top-flight Student Party candidates for Student Body President. Grimsley stated that "Student Party candidates for vice-presi dent, secretary, and treasurer are also qualified candidates. Each has the ability, has given the service, and gained the re spect necessary for these high oiiices. "Hank Patterson has (.worked as hard in Student Government Nikita Khrvshchty as any other person," the chair-1 man said. "Mary Townsend has worked consistently and well on the Student Government j Secretarist. Her other activi- j ties on the Campus Affairs! Board and as Chairman of En- tertainment Committee for the Campus Chest reveal her inter ests about the campus." We are happy to have a form er Student Party member ac cept our endorsement for Trea surer," Grimsley noted," "for we feel Pete Thompson to be the best equipped person to seek this office in many years." "Although the Student Party has been out of office the past two years, Student Party lead ers have contributed note worthy achievements- in high appointive positions," its chair man declared, citing the Acad emic Affairs program, State Af fairs, NSA programs, , and other activities. "The Presidential Assistant's position came into its own un der Jim Crownover and present ly Bill Whichard, both former officers of the Student Party. We feel that the success of the past two administrations has de pended heavily on Student Par ty help," Grimsley remarked. "In the coming year the. leg islators endorsed by the Student Party are pledged to make the Student Legislature the true forum for student 1 expression In the past session the Student Party legislators introduced - 24 of 30, bills and resolutions. This is the usual contrast between the amount of legislation introduced by the Student Party over its opposition legislators. We feel .For Wote On Goods I 1 $3 .

Mash Reviews UP Candidates; Calls Them 'Well Qualified9 "The University Party has nominated an exceptionally well-qualified slate of candi dates for the executive offices of Student Government," UP Chairman Dennis Rash said yesterday. Rash pointed out that "for Student Government to func- that the lack of discussion evi dent in our present legislature has made the Legislature the least respected of the tnree branches of Student Govern ment. We intend to take direct action in enforcing attendance regulations and by running com petent legislators. "The Student Party is run ning a slate of candidates which reflects the camDus-wide nature of the party," according to the chairman. "One lives m a tra- ternity house, another in town, and one each in a girls and bov's dorm. Our sincere inter est in dormitories has continu ally brought us a substantial vote. But we do not seek the dorm vote alone, for to repre sent the entire campus, we seek votes from every residence. "All members of the Student Party come in as individuals, and the votes we are seeking must come from each individual who votes. We can only ask in the coming election that no coercive authority cause any block voting; block voting is good only when all voters make their own decisions, and then decide to vote together. After all, the ballot is secret and un signed," he noted. "All the candidates endorsed by the Student Party have work ed hard to earn the privilege of seeking office," according to Grimsley. "They will continue to work hard if elected. Stu dent Party has been the symbol of progress in Student Govern ment for a long time; now is the time to give the Student Party its chance to lead again in the 1960's," the chairman appealed. ectorafe Goes AT ANNUAL CAMPUS ervices.

"Bob Sevier combines this experience with an intelligent and dynamic approach to the office of President," Rash said. Through his experience in representing the University at the National Student Associa tion Convention, as well as State Legislature and the To ronto Exchange Program, Bob has been able to meet with other leaders and broaden his ideas on campus aaffirs. "As Vice-President, Sevier has worked closely with Presi dent Friday, Chancellor Aycock, and many members of the facul ty. This association will enable him to bring about a closer student-faculty-administration re lationship in the coming year," the chairman explained. Rash noted that "Sevier has served on the President's Cabi net for two years and has gained additional insight into the execuftive problems of Stu dent Government.

King Advocates Increasing DTH Campus Coverage "Increased campus coverage is a vital necessity the DTH is the only really efficient means of communication between ad ministration, campus organiza tions such as student govern ment and the student," Wayne King, candidate for the editor ship of the Daily Tar Heel, said yesterday. "Schedules, announcements, news of student interest these are the core of the campus newspaper's obligation to the students it serves," King stated. Commenting on state, nation al, and world news coverage, the candidate stated that he felt "campus news to be of primary concern to college paper," but added that "state national and international news cannot be neglected. ' Cannot Be Uninformed "College students cannot af ford to be uninformed about the world outside the classroom and off the football field. The DTH would.be neglect ing a vital part of its duty were it suddenly to push non-cam pus news off its pages. "Student problems are not confined to the classroom a stu dent newspaper cannot confine itself to the campus." King em phasized that he felt that cam pus coverage "certainly did not need to suffer because of in clusion of off -campus events. 'It is1 not by any means an impossible task to strike a bal ance between the two. News Occurs "When news of great interna tional importance , occurs at the same time that an important campus event occurs, both can be played to their maximum value. ' "Two multi-column headlines at the top of the page should be the rule rather than the excep tion in the DTH. A campus oriented item can receive maxi mum play at the same time that a non-campus item does." Editorial Comment Moving to the editorial page, King said, "an editor's job is just what the title implies he edits and passes judgment on paper policy, he acts as ah ad ministrator, and is responsible for making the paper a vital and worthwhile enterprise. (Continued on Page 3) Polls Referenda Honor Syste. BY HENRY MAYER Voting will take place from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. today on the proposed judicial amendment to the Student Consti tution. Described by Student Body President David Grigg as a "major reform and step forward in our judicial pro cedure," the measure, as submitted by Rep. Davis B. Young, was passed unanimously by the Student Legisla ture last month. The amendment has two major purposes: tho establishment- of more efficient and workable judicial pro cedure, and the consolidation of the right of the defendant into one bill, which will provide a fair trial to every defendant. Among these rights are in cluded a 72 hour notice prior to the hearing, and provisions for extension of this period up to a week; the right to face the ac cuser; the strengthening of the position of the defense counsel; the right to disqualify members of the judicial body ' who might be prejudiced in the hearing of the case; the right to a public trial, defined, as .meaning the presence of two representatives of the student newspaper; and the right to apply for an appeal hearing. To meet the second major ob jective of the measure, the establishment of a more effec tive . judicial process, several major revisions have been made in the present system. L The bill provides' for two councils, JVTt'zi'ij and . Women's, ORIENTATION Twenty-six members of the Orientation Committee were named yesterday by Chairman Al Pollard.

Liz Taylor Given Trans f us io BY ROBERT MUSEL United Press International LONDON Film star Eliza beth Taylor, in constant pain, received a blood transfusion Monday night to strengthen her for the crucial 24-hour "crisis period" ahead in her battle against pneumonia. Her husband, crooner Eddie Fisher, and her British parents clustered around the hospital bedside of the 29-year-old Hol lywood beauty as six physicians, led by Queen Elizabeth's doc tor, Lord Moran, struggled to restore her health. A "barnet ventilator," a box like breathing apparatus, was hooked by tube to a plastic pipe in Miss Taylor's throat to help her breathe. But her own lungs are being made to work. The machine merely forces her to take deeper breaths. Needle In Ankle A needle inserted in her ankle was used for a blood transfu sion. Lord : Evans supervised the transfusion. She is being fed intravenously. Because she must help the machine by consciously breath ing, the physicians cannot keep her under sedation. rrri n ' Chmnime which will be empowered to try violations of both the Honor and Campus Codes. In effect, his provision abolishes the Stu dent Council, which in the past has caused a great deal of over- apping and confusion in ad ministration. The Legislature will be em powered to expand the mem bership of each council in order to meet the increased work load. This expanded council will be gin operating in the fall, but all other provisions of the amend ment will be effective immedi ately. Geographical apportionment of council representatives will also be established by the Legislature. The councils will be instruct ed to determine guilt or inno cence of each defendant, and in the case of the verdict of guilty, on oil council shall set tlie ex propriate penalty.. A two--thirds vote of the coun cil will be required for a con viction, and a penalty of sus pension will also need the ap proval of two-thirds of the council. Enlargement of the councils will also mean that each group may split up into two evenly divided bodies for the purposes of handling a greater number of cases more quickly. Granting the councils the power to determine guilt or innocence means that there will be no provision for a system of student jurors. However, President Grigg and Men's Honor Council Chairman Bill Sayers have pointed out that the jury system has proved too cumbersome and ineffective, and that an elected, representa tive judiciary body is equally competent to render a fair and impartial judgment. Dorm residents will vote in their respective units, except for Kenan, (votes in Mclver) and Connor (votes in Winston). Town Men's I voters will cast ballots at the Naval Armory and the Carolina Inn; Town Men's II, Scuttlebutt; Town Men's III and IV and Town Women will all vote at Gerrard Hall. Gaining, tri "She is in some pain all the time," said Suzanne Cardoza, a spokesman for' the actress as she left the sickroom. Miss Cardoza said she heard the doctors mention anemia but that she understood the transfu sion was "basically to aid her fight against the pneumonia" which struck Saturday morn ing. Conscious, but unable to speak, Miss Taylor completed the first 24 hours of the 43-hour "crisis period" and entered the second stretch. Reported Improved Dr. Carl Heinz Goldman, her personal physician, reported her improved but "there is a Ions road to go before we can say she is out of danger." Fisher and Miss Cardoza both said the actress was bearing up amazingly well emotionally and seemed to be worried more about her three children than about her illness. "I've never seen anything like the way she thinks of everyone but herself," said Miss Car doza. Miss Taylor's main worry ap peared to be that her eldest children, Mike, 8, and Chris, 6, would learn of her illness, mAffecm
