George Miller Is
State YDC Head
George Miller of Durham is the
new president of the North Caro
lina Young Democrats Club. Miller
was elected at the group’s annual
convention at the Hotel Sir Walter
in Raleigh this past weekend.
The new head of the State YDC
was reported to have the support
of the L. Richardson Preyer forces
while his opponent Doran Perry was
believed to be backed by Democrat
ic gubernatorial candidate Dan K.
Moore. Preyer was defeated in a
runoff in the Democratic primary
election last May by Moore.
The convention began Thursday
with an assemblage of authorized
college and county YDC units from
throughout the state.
Preyer supporters challenged the
authority of certain unchartered
clubs to be seated in the conven
tion hall resulting in several clubs
being denied participation in the
election. This was viewed as a di
rect attack by Perry on his chances
for winning the election.

LOS ANGELES — Fourteen of the
fifteen fraternities and sororities sus
pended at the University of Califor
nia for refusing to sign a non-dis
crimination pledge were stOl under
suspension last week.
One of the fraternities, Lambda
Chi Alpha, signed the pledge and
was returned to good standing last
week. Twelve sororities and two
fraternities at three of the Univer-
Fellowships
Are Available
Dr. Margaret Newton, professor
of chemistry, is the local campus
representative for the Danforth
Graduate Fellowships, which will
be awarded in March, 1965.
The Fellowships, offered by the
Danforth Foundation of St. Louis,
Mo., are open to men and women
who are seniors or recent gradu
ates of accredited colleges in the
United States, who have serious in
terest in college teaching as a ca
reer, and who plan to study for a
Ph.D. in a field common to the
undergraduate college. Applicants
may be single or married, must be
less than thirty years of age at the
time of application, and may not
have undertaken any graduate or
professional study beyond the bac
calaureate.
Approximately 120 Fellowships
will be awarded in March, 1965.
Candidates must be nominated by
Liaison Officers of their undergrad
uate institutions. The Foundation
does not accept direct applications
for the Fellowships.
sity’s campuses remain forbidden to
use the Universtiy of California’s
name or facilities. In addition, they
have been barred from many stu
dent-sponsored activities on their
campuses.
Eleven of the disciplined chapters
are at the Los Angeles campus.
Involved are one fraternity. Acacia,
and ten sororities. Alpha Delta Pi,
Alpha Gamma Delta, Delta Delta
Delta, Delta ZEta, Gamma Phi
Mu, Pi Beta Phi, Sigma Kappa, and
Beta Tau Alpha. The other three
chapters are Acadia, at the Berkeley
campus, and Sigma Kappa and Pi
Beta Phi, at the Davis branch.
The pledge, which chapter presi
dents must sign annually, reads as
fellows:
I hereby certify that members
(of my fraternity) are free to
choose and accept new members
without discrimination as to race,
religion or national origin.
Dean of Students Byron H. Atkin
son of the UCLA campus has ex
pressed the belief that many houses
will sign the pledge even though the
deadline has passed. Any house that
does sign will regain its lost privi
leges, he said.
Included among the Berkeley sign
ers was Pi Beta Phi, a sorority,
which, along with its sister chapter
on the UCLA campus, attempted to
have the California courts prelimi
narily enjoin the University Regents
from enforcing the deadline.
The University must now face the
problem of enforcement. Some soror
ities have indicated that in order
to enter traditional campus events,
they might attempt to skirt the
University policy by posing as ad
hoc student groups. Traditionally ad
hoc groups have had little trouble
entering campus activities.
sponsored dance held Friday eve
ning during which a small number
of participants caused a disturbance
resulting in a cut lip and several
flattened egos.
Authoritative sources claimcd the
disturbance was prompted by a
group- of late - arrivers who were
not students at ACX^ and who were
in a state of mild intoxication. The
dance had been opened to the public
and there were an estimated 500
persons present.
Lee was summoned to Bennett’s
office last Monday afternoon for a
discussion of the disturbance and
was informed by the Dean that the
Sophomore Class did not have the
authority to invite the public to a
class sponsored dance without the
approval of the Dean of Students’
office. Lee contended that he could
find no regulation forbidding him to
invite the public; consequently, he
felt he did not have to have approv
al from the Administration.
In a statement made before the
Executive Board of the Cooperative
Association on Monday night Ben
nett had this to say: “No adminis
trative action in the way of social
probation for the Sophomore Class,
or any of its members is contem
plated at this time. Any violations of
college regulations, written or un
written, apparently stemmed from
the lack of communications among
the various campus agencies, both
student and administrative. Steps
to prevent situations of this type
from arising in the future are al
ready underway; infact, these steps
were being considered prior to the
Sophomore Class dance.”
Bennett informed The Collegiate
late Monday that an investigation
is underway to deterine if the Board
of Trustees of the college has ever
stipulated in its minutes whether
or not the public may be invited to
a dance held on the AOC campus or
one in which a class is sponsoring.
The Dean added, “There will be
no official action taken by his of
fice to limit the activities of the
Sophomore Qass as a result of the
disturbance last Friday; however,
future plans and projects of the
class will be under closer observa
tion.”
Sophomore Class
Is Out Of Debt
Stuart Lee, President of the Sopho
more Class, has reported that the
Class is now out of debt due to the
success of the class sponsored dance
held on September 25.
Until the dance was held the
class had been $80 in debt. The
debt had been created as a result
of a dance held last spring At that
time the class finished the academic
year $80 in the red. At the begin
ning of this year the $80 debt had to
be subtracted from the class budg
et of $150, leaving a budget of
$70.
From the results of this year’s
dance a total profit of |265 was
made. By eliminating the final $80
debt the class now has a budget of
approximately $335.
