They are bad for him for several reasons. One of the reasons is that Marvin Lurch is clumsy and he keeps stepping into puddles, and when he steps into puddles he curses, and when he curses he gets dirty looks from coeds. Another reason is that Marvin Lurch is six-feet, four-inches tall, which makes him just the right height to get poked in the eye by the tips of umbrella ribs. But worst of all is the fact that on rainy days Marvin Lurch gets wetter than any other student here because he has to walk further to class than any other student here. Marvin Lurch, you see, can not drive a car on campus since he has not had a 2.0 average during the entire three years he's been here, does not have one now and probably never will have one. Therefore, Marvin Lurch has to park his car off campus so the Dean of Men won't find out that he has a car here. Too Big A Chance Now, Marvin Lurch, if he wanted to, could very simply register his car and lie about having a 2.0. There is a chance that no one would check. But with a name like Marvin Lurch, that is an awfully big chance to take. And anyway, Marvin Lurch does not believe in lying. This is not to say that Marvin Lurch is a com pletely honest man. He is not. It is just that Marvin Lurch figures that it is easier to get caught at lying than at doing most anything else. This makes lying a foolish thing to do, since there is, he figures, abso lutely no reason to do it. There is no way, you see, for the campus cops to trace Marvin Lurch's car to him even during their occasional off -campus forays. This is because Marvin Lurch does not have any special car of his own. In stead, he has for the past several years been drawing from the many and varied selection of cars in Or- ange, Durham and Wake Counties whose owners leave cheerily as he does his usual 47 push the keys in them overnight. ups and then gulps his morning ration , -of Tiger's Milk. . , t,.. V t.. dui iviai vm Liurcn is nut a car imei. in iaci, Mar vin Lurch gets quite insulted if anybody calls him a thief. Like the time a car's ed yelling "thief, thief" as Marvin slammed the car tires for a half-block backing up to the guy's drive way. Then he got out and hit him. He kept hitting the guy until he stopped yelling thief. The reason he stop ped yelling, maybe, was that he was unconscious. Marvin always returns the cars he uses more or less returns them, anyway which makes him not a thief. He parks them in places where they'll be easily found, like in the middle of 15-501, and hitch hikes to somewhere to borrow another car for the next few days. Most times, he even washes them for the people he borrowed them from. It's his way of showing ap preciation. But on rainy days like Monday, Marvin Lurch can't even wash the cars. This hurts Marvin Lurch. It makes him feel like a selfish ingrate, which is al most as bad as being a thief.

By a 53-41 roll call vote, the Senate rejected Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield's mo tion to halt debate and force action on the House - approv er bill. The tally was 10-vot-es short of the two - thirds backing needed to invoke clo ture. Immediately following the vote, Mansfield said the tally ences, exposed himself to stu dent and faculty flak at col leges from coast to coast, and plans tours this spring through Canada and the South (where he is scheduled to become Viet Nam's first honorary Chero kee chief)," Time said.

That amounted to 2,000. copies, more than three times as many as ever sold before. "We attribute the fast sell to two things," Paull said, "An outstanding advertising campaign and the exceptional quality of writing in this fall's Quarterly." The issue featured some of the better known North Caro lina writers, many of them students, or former students of Carolina. "We're realizing the great amount of talent that can be found in this state." Paull said, "In the future we hone to take more advantage of this state's writers." A short story by Myles Eric Ludwig which won the Thomas Wolfe Memorial Writ ing Award is featured in the issue, along with a poem by Carolina Enlish Professor O. B. Hardison.

House Award for the most outstanding UNC frat Change Requested In Campus Code By LYTT STAMPS DTH Staff Writer Student Body President Bob Powell and two former stu dent body presidents called for a reform of the Campus Code at the Student Party meeting Sunday night. Calling the present code a "catch - all," Powell said, "Anything that has happen ed in a student's past could be called up against him." Powell said a student who was convicted of an offense during the summer and had settled the offense with local officials where the offense oc curred could be tried for a Campus Code violation when he returned to Chapel Hill in the fall. Speaking with Powell were last year's president, Paul Dickson, and the president three years ago, Mike Lawler. Dickson said the weakness of the Campus Code is that "lady" or "gentleman" is not defined. "Campus Code offenses need to be specified in clear, bold-face type," Dickson said. "Now, it applies as long as you are a student no matter where you are. "I feel the Campus Code should set the standards on campus." Dickson said that under the present system, a student could be tried three times for one offense: on a federal charge, on a state charge and finally on a charge of a campus code violation. Lawler said the University too often makes its rules as a reaction to "what will the state of North Carolina say about this." Dickson and Lawler each discussed how his adminis tration handled controversy Chie court official or law enforce ment officer. Davis said, "We have dis cussed the order and I've ask ed everyone to adhere to it. I left the mechanics of its en forcement up to the three department divisions. Meanwhile, Police Chief A. R.

Powell said the recent drug cass have caused him con cern about the Honor System. He said, "there were two reaspns that student courts did not handle the cases: "Dex is a common thing and its possession has not been considered an offense in the past. "Federal laws against its possession should cover the case in-tQad of studpnt law." Powell said he had tried to express to the administration he felt it would be bad if any one but student government tried those charged in dex cases. Powell asked. "Are our de cisions binding? "The administration's action appears to be giving us first crack and then if they don't like our decision they handle the cmestion some other way," Powell said. I feel that no one but the federal courts should try those accused in the dex cases." MRt Announces Men's Residence Council is considering starting a student-to-student tutoring program. "We hope to get it started as soon as possible," said Lew Brown, head of MRC, "but everything's still in the planning stage." A separate program will be organized in each of the nine men's residence colleges, said Brown. If the service materializes, it will be the first all-student program on campus.

Mrs. Lowry explained that the program ran into a lit tle trouble during summer school. "The VA did a real good job in sptting up to han dle the work," she said, "But they had to hire a lot of new people and there was some delay." "A few students counted on the checks and were disap pointed, but I don't think anyone had to - drop out of school or were unable to get by until the checks came," she said.

For the first time this year the . award also includes points given for community and Univ ersity service projects. In presenting the awards at the first IFC meeting of the year, Bob Kepner, assistant to the Dean of men, said, "Both fraternities have made fine con tributions during the past year to the University community." The most improved frater nity academically during the past year was Pi Lambda Phi which advanced 10 places from 22 out of 23 to 12 out of 24. Second was Kappa Alpha which moved up five places from 1 9 to 14. Kepner point out that ZBT had achieved a great deal of its strengh in the contest because of its academic record and its ranking first in scholarship last year. "DU showed over-all streng th throughout all of the cate gories to tie for first place," Kepner said. Also announced was the close runner-up of Chi Psi fraternity which ran closest to tying winners. The award "seeks to recog nize those fraternities on t h e University campus which best exhibit work that is in keeping with the general ideals of frat ernity." The award is determined on a point system of 100.
