Allen is best known on the college scene for his film debut both as actor and screenwriter in "What's New, Pussycat?" The 27-year-old comedian has been hailed as "the most refreshing comic in many months . . . one who thinks funny, says it funny in most literate style . . . the best young American new-wave co median" by critics from coast to coast. He has written ad libs for Sid Caesar, Art Carney, Gar ry Moore, Peter Lind Hayes, Herb Shriner, Pat Boone and Hermione Gingold. "Now I'm writing them for myself . . . and hope some day to be able to afford it," Allen says. "The Platters" made their UNC debut last spring at Jubi lee and drew a demand for two encore numbers. "Oldies but goodies" such as, "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes" and "The Great Pretender" received a standing ovation from the massive student con gregation at Polk Place.

How important is that letter from someone back on the home front? Apparently it pretty important. A letter arrived at Student Government offices yesterday from six marines who are fighting in Viet Nam asking for coed pen-pals. The letter read: "Hi Folks! There are six of us sitting here around four candles on the doorstep of our beautiful little cloth mansion in Viet Nam. "We were engaged in an 'in tellectual' conversation, and the name of your college pop ped up. One of the guys lives in North Carolina, and he says all southern girls are 'nice and friendly.' "Now for our brainstorm. We thought it would be a good idea to converse in letters with a few of you people. Please don't get us wrong this is not to be any of this lonely hearts junk. We just think it is a good idea and that it might turn out to be a lot of fun. "You people don't realize how hard it is to write one let ter to an entire college. So we'll cut this off, hoping the idea is across. "Enclosed are the names and a few characteristics of the people in our mortar section who would like to play along."

According to Dean of Men William G. Long, complica tions developed on the way to the operating room. Doctors tried resuscitation for 45 min utes, but to no avial. Davis was trapped in the wrecked vehicle until the driv er of the ambulance put a splint on his leg and lifted him free. Davis was conscious at that time.

Student Body President Paul Dickson contacted in Raleigh said, "I am humbly and sin cerely saddened by Roger's death. He was a fine person and a hard worker. He was devoted to this University and to Student Government. "Roger spent many long hours here at Carolina working to improve resident hall life. I knew him personally and this loss of a friend hurts me very much." Brit Gordon, vice president of the Student Body said: "On behalf of all of us who have worked so closely with Roger, I wish to express our deepest grief at the loss of a friend, a devoted servant of Student Government and of the Uni versity.

J LOIS SHEPHERD Alpha Delta Pi HI!! Election By JOHN GREENBACKER DTH Political Writer University Party Vice -Chairman David Broadhurst charged Student Body Presi dent Paul Dickson yesterday with "usurping the powers of Student Legislature" by per sonally setting the date of the presidential recall election. Dickson announced Monday the recall election for student body president will be held Nov. 9, the same date as the fall elections, if the recall pe tition proves valid. Broadhurst quoted a section of the Student Constitution which states, "The dates of all elections shall be established by an act of the Student Leg islature." He said he was prompted to speak to Dickson about the matter after a Student Pary official told him the University Party had to submit to the board the name of a candidate for the recall by tonight. "How can they ask us to do that," Broadhurst said, "When the legislature hasn't set a date for the recall?" "I think the manner in which Dickson has handled this thing has been most improp er," Broadhurst said. "I don't want to see this thing lowered to take the form of a party squabble," he said. "This is an important campus wide issue." Dickson said yesterday he had set the time of the date after reading a section of the constitution which empowers P.M.

Dickson said he would have to speak to his advisors before making further decision. Recall Petition Elections Board Chairman Alvin Tyndall said yesterday 158 names on the presidential recall petition have not been checked for validity by the board. When these signatures have been checked, the board's in vestigation will be complete, according to Tyndall. The board has already dis qualified 18 names on the pe tition, and 90 names are cur rently in question. The recall petition, to be suc cessful, needs 1,863 valid sig natures on it. It currently has a total of 1,917 signatures. The 90 questionable signa tures, most of which are illegi ble, will be sent to the Consti tutional Council tomorrow for ruling. "This investigation has rack ed the Elections Board physi cally, mentally and academic ally," Tyndall said. "At least five board mem bers have worked on the peti tion every day for a week," he said. "Sometimes we have worked from two in the after noon until eleven at night." Tyndall said the Elections Board would be finished with its phase of the investigation by early this afternoon. rick, Spencer Hall; Patti Fields, Maverick House; Lois Shepherd, Alpha Delta Pi; Emily Cathey, Chi Psi; Peach Pearce, Joyner Hall; Mary King, Maverick House; Judy Dudley, Parker Hall; Sharon Finch, Morrison College; Toni Greenwood, Ehringhaus; and Peg McQueen, Sigma Chi. i MARY KING Maverick House DTH Photo by Andy Myers Population Center Gets $800,000 Grants to the Population Center at the University were increased to more than $1 million Tuesday with an $800,000 grant from the Ford Foundation.
