Hunt Now Chairman Of U CP;
Party Adopts 'Convention
As System For Nominations
Third-party politics received new impetus yesterday with the
announcement by the United Carolina Party that Douglass Hunt,
Speaker of the Student Legislature, had been named party chair
man.
Members of the UCP. meeting only
three days after the announcement of
the formation of the party, named
Hunt to the position of temporary
chairman with a unanimous vote, and
simuntaneously chose a temporary
executive committee to lay the ground
work for immediate party organiza'
tion. Members of the executive com
mittee are: Hunt, chairman, Walt
Brinkley, Margaret Woodhouse, Pete
Pully, Lib Schpfield, Jimmy Wallace,
and Al Lowenstein.
Breaking precedent in Carolina po
litical history, the new third party
has adopted a convention system for
the selection of candidates who . will
run for office upon the UCP platform
and program for student government
Until the membership of the party
rises above 100 students, all candi
dates will be named by this group in
meeting assembled. However, when
the party membership exceeds 100 stu
dents, delegate system will be employ
ed whereby a true cross-section of the
campus will be secured. This conven
tion of delegates will make the nomi
nations for the party's candidates. AH
such nominating conventions will be
open to observation by the entire stu
dent body, thus "giving everyone the
cpportunity to see how democratical
ly a political party can work if it
wishes to do so."
Statement Adopted
A statement of principle, enlarging
upon the one which was printed in the
Tuesday edition of the Tar Heel, was
adopted at the party meeting, thus
paving the way for a membership cam
paign to be conducted throughout the
student body. Copies pi this state
ment are being mimeographed and will
be ready for circulation by Tar Heel
press time. "Students wishing to join
the UCP or wishing to ask questions
about it should see any member of the
executive committee or the member
ship committee," Chairman Hunt said.
The membership committee, named at
the meeting, include: Walt Brinkley,
chairman; Herbert Weber, Connie
Hendren, Frank Meadows, and Dot
Churchill.
Students desiring to join the party
will be asked to subscribe to the
mimeographed statement of principle
and will, upon signing, be given a
membership card. All memberships so
granted will be subject to review by
the membership committee, but the
decision of this group may be appealed
directly to the party.
Organized to "restore and revitalize
student government on the campus,"
the United Carolina Party asserts that
its chief interest is in "student gov
ernment rather than in student poli
tics." In the statement of principle,
the party pledges itself to uphold stu
dent government in order "that we
may not lose for those who come af
ter us what those who went before, us
fought so hard to win"
The pledge of the party includes the

To meet a growing need for an or
ganization to discuss and act upon
student issues Tar Heel editors Jack
Lackey and Howard Merry have ac
cepted an appointment by Editor-in-Chief
Bob Morrison to a committee to
re-organize the Assembly of the Phi
lanthropic Literary Society, which ex
isted on the campus for almost 150
year.
Merry, acting as spokesman for the
committee, which will be a special
committee of the staff of the Tar Heel,
declared, '"We see a great need for a
place where students can voice their
opinions about all matters which are
vital to them. In the great tradition
of the Philanthropic Assembly there
is a firm foundation for a student
group dedicated to the increased un
derstanding of the things which con
cern the student body."
During the last collegiate year, the
student legislature, the Debate Coun
cil, and the Dialectic Senate all dis
cussed the possibilty of the revival of
the Philanthropic Assembly, common
ly called the "Phi" for many years
The legislature favored the proposal
and appointed a committee to reorgan
lze the Phi. The committee never
functioned; and after an editorial plea
in the Tar Heel, another committee
was appointed, but the second com
mittee did not function. .The Dialec-f
tic Senate favored the re-organization,
but felt that action should come
from members outside the Senate,
which is the Phi's sister organization.
The Debate Council never reached a
decision.
It is felt that today there is such a
need for the Phi that it will receive
the support of a large number of stu
dents. The purpose of the committee
will be to inform the students of the
nature and possibilities of the Phi, to
prepare the Phi Chamber on the fourth
floor of New East Building, and to
tentatively set up a constitution and
rules of order.
The Phi and Di were organized in
1795 by 31 students who were inter
ested in f orensics. Later the two so
cieties became the governing body of
the students and regulated all stu

To Fraternity Bill
After a lengthy discussion which

Wednesday night voted," with but one
dissenting ballot, in favor of a resolu
tion calling for the abolition of any
organization on the campus of the
University of North Carolina which
discriminates among applicants for
membership on the basis of religious
or political views, unless such ar. or
ganization is primarily a religious or
political group.
.The Di session, held in Gerrard Hall
to accommodate an overflow audience,
started with a discussion of jn bill to
abolish social fraternities at UNC,
but early in the evening the substitute
resolution came to the fore. During
the entire meeting not one voice was
raised in favor of a downright aboli
tion of fraternities, and, when Doug-!
lass Hunt offered an "anti-discrimination"
substitute, debate shifted to it.
Leading the proponents of the Hunt
proposal were Nina Guard and Don
Shropshire, with a host of others, in
cluding Jimmy Wallace, and Hunt
himself, in the van. There was some
talk about whether discriminatory
bans actually existed in fraternities,
which were considered most likely ton of the student body the follow

to pay to the Debate Council; a

University Party Plans
No Basic Policy Changes
Appearance Of UCP Does Not Affect
Platform Of Group, Chairman Says
The University Party plans no drastic changes in its policy due
to the emergence of another political party on the campus accord

Pannill said: "For many years in
the past, the University Party has Tff l tt

see no reason for a change in policy;

and have executed to the best of our
ability and the good of the students.
Possibly we have been accused of put

so, it might be interesting to note
that many of those comprising this
new party were put in office on the
University Party ticket.
All this has undoubtedly been
rather confusing to those who are
new at Carolina, and in order to let
them know how we stand, the Uni

spring election is being printed.
"We believe that alj that we have

In a poll of all the V-12 naval re
servists stationed at the University
of North Carolina, answers to sev
eral pertinent questions have been
solicited by the Tar Heel Institute of
Public Affairs,
The responses to the queries accu
rately reflect the opinion of Navy
men on the Carolina campus, since
time-tested methods of polling pub
lic opinion have been utilized by the
THIPA.
The poll shows that an overwhelm
ing majority, 71.1, do not wish to
make the Navy their career, as op
posed to 13.1 that do, and 15.8
who are undecided. These facts are
indicative of the peacetime path upon
which the nation has embarked. How
ever, it is a tribute to the Navy that
30 of the men polled have not
completely eliminated the possibility
of making the Navy their career.
This admiration and loyalty to the
Navy is further borne out in the an
swers to the next question, which
show that 57.7 of the men polled
would not accept an immediate dis
charge if it were offered to them.
Forty per cent of those polled would
take advantage of such a discharge,
and 2.3 are undecided on this score.
Will Seek , Jobs
In keeping' with " the accelerated
tempo of post-war America towards a
full degree of prosperity, 66.7 of
the naval personnel express their de
termination to secure jobs after their
discharge, and only 33.3 will take
time out for the vacation which they
have merited by their loyal service in
behalf of their country during World
War II.
That the Navy has prepared them
for their future civilian life ade
quately is testified to by the affirma
tive responses of 57.8, while 37.8
believe that they have not been suf
ficiently readied for their readjust
ment, and 4.4 remain undecided.
The results of the poll show that
a large percentage, 75.6, of the
men presently stationed here will re
turn to continue their education at
the University of North Carolina,
supplying negative responses were
16.3 and undecided were 18.1
on the question of whether these men
would return to Chapel Hill in mufti
instead of navy blue. This phase of
the poll bolsters the general reputa
tion of the University, portraying as
it does, the favorable impression
made by Chapel Hill upon these men
who came here on the wings of the
fortunes of war.
A marked trend toward the dis
crediting of the present discharge
system now in vogue is evident in
the figures which show that 44.4
of the pollees defend the system,
while 40 of those polled attack the
current regulations, and 15.6 are
undecided.
The seventh question posed this
problem: "A leading columnist tells
of a naval station paper that was
censored by the Captain of that sta
tion because the paper ran comments
of Naval Personnel that discredited
the present discharge system. Do you
think that this type of censorship is
warranted ? "
In reply to this query, 60 de
clared that the censorship was un
warranted, contrasted to 40 who
believed it ppstified. These figures are
valuable as -a guide to the way Navy
men are thinking. Apparently, these
men will be among the staunchest
defenders of civil liberties when tkey
return to their peacetime pursuits.
In the responses to the last question,
the V-12 contingents on the campus
made known their willingness to par
ticipate more in extra-curricular ac
tivities if bed check and study hours
were If ted by a percentage of 75.6
"Yes" replies and 19 "No" replies,
while 4.4 stayed on the fence.
