REORGANIZATION BILL;
TVA PROBE; SILVER CUT
Washington, March 29. A special
louse committee today decided to re
vamp four government reorganiza
tion measures they had previously
okayed and ask the house to consider
them in place of the reorganization
till passed by the senate yesterday.
The four house bills generally par
allel the senate measure except that
the general accounting office and
comptroller general clauses are treat
ed in a different way.
Two of the four measures had been
passed by the house. The procedure
agreed upon will necessitate house
.action on those two again as part of
a general reorganization bill.
"' The house rules committee agreed
today to accept the senate's sugges
tion of a joint, senate-house investiga
tion of the Tennessee Valley author
ity. Chairman O'Connor (D., N. Y.)
said he expected the bill to be brought
up for a house vote tomorrow. A spe
cial clause provided for the inquiry
into actions of power companies which
have brought suit against the TVA.
Another amendment would require
the committee of 10 men to submit a
report by next January 3.
The treasury department deducted
another cent today from its price for
foreign silver and brought the price
lown to 43 cents per ounce.
The cut in price followed a similar
reduction yesterday, the first in more
than two years.
Many observers believe the govern
ment has taken such action in retalia
tion to the seizure of American oil
properties in Mexico. The cut in price
of silver will make it much more dif
ficult for Mexico to 'sell its silver
abroad, since the treasury has stopped
the monthly buying of 5,000,000
ounces of Mexican silver.
LOYALISTS MEET ATTACK;
REBEL HELP PUBLICIZED
Hendaye, France (on Spanish Fron
tier), March 29. Rebel General Fran
cisco franco met his first serious
counter-attack from government
forces today.
The Spanish government forces
moved to the battle front today to
check the insurgent sweep into Cata
lonia. Foreign aids moved into the
defending positions to reinforce Span
ish troops in their death stand to pre

fensive to conclude the civil war, Gen
ial Franco attempted consolidation
of insurgent forces in this sector for
another drive toward the provisional

Campus Suicide

Mutt's Death Was Not
Result of Psychology
Experiment W. K. Spelt, of the psychology
department, yesterday stated
that "Mutt" did not die as the
result of a psychology experi
ment. This checks the rumor which
had spread over the campus
that students may suffer for
psychology, but dogs die for it.
The story as first reported
was that "Mutt," who was being
subjected to , a painful experi
ment by members of the psychol
ogy department, broke loose from
them, and in a terrified attempt
to escape, leaped from a second
floor window of New West to his
death on the walk below.

INTERFRATERNITY
COUNCIL SETS
HAZING RULING
Group Endorses
Student-Faculty
Day Preparations
Five resolutions regarding frater
nity initiations and an endorsement
of support for Student-Faculty day
were passed at the Interfraternity
council meeting last night.
The council went on record as sun-
porting the "Student-Faculty day to
the best of its ability, and cooperat
ing in every way possible to make
the day a success."
As was the case last year the fra
ternities will entertain faculty mem
bers at luncheons, and will hold open
houses during the afternoon.
Resolutions
The resolutions regarding frater
nity initiations were: "Be it resolved
that: foregoing rules have been drawn
up, approved, and adopted by the In
terfraternity council in a spirit of co
operation between the University ad
ministration, the freshman pledges of
fraternities and the fraternities them
selves. 1. No portion of any fraternity ini
tiation shall be of the character so as
to conflicts with the freshman aca
demic work as regards attendance of
classes and to impair the initiates'
hours of study.
Dumb Animals
2. Dumb animals shall not be e-m-
ployed in fraternity initiations so as
to cause torture, suffering, or any
physical injury to them.
3. No measures shall be taken by
any fraternity in their initiation
whereby any person shall be mentally
or physically tortured or harmed, or
to cause anyone to suffer any severe
embarrassment.
4. All fraternity initiations shall be
carried on in compliance with the haz
mg statute of the statutes of the
state.
5. That the executive committee of
the Interfraternity council shall have
the power to hear all cases of any
breach of these rules and shall have
the power to punish the guilty parties
by fine or other penalties that may be
deemed wise and feasible by them.
The action of the executive committee
shall be subject to the judgment of
the Student council.

IN CAMPAIGN
Nominees Hear
Talks Urging
Clean Politics
By Donald Bishop
University party nominees and
campaign managers attended the
steering committee meeting of the
party iast night, heard explanations
of the set-up of the party, and were
admonished that the party will not
"stoop to mud-slinging" in the com
ing campaign.'
Albert Ellis, third-year law student
and long associated with campus poli
tics, Niles Bond, last year's senior
class president, and Bud Hudson,
party nominee for the student body
presidency, made short talks.
Fair Methods Ellis
"The All-Campus party went out of
existence a few years ago because of
mud-slinging," Ellis said, "and the
University party, because of its fair
methods, succeeded it as a permanent
successor."
Under its organization this year,
the University party has 13 non-fraternity
and 12 fraternity representa
tives on its steering committee, and
Ellis declared that this arrangement
is the most efficient, "presenting 25
different points of view, with each
point of view throwing a different
light upon the men under considera
tion for an office."
Policy Changes
Though he mentioned no names,
Ellis stated that "It strikes me as
funny that a certain party will en
tirely change its position on an issue
from one year to the next." This was
generally interpreted as an attack on
the policy of the Student party of vio
lently opposing fraternity rule in
politics last year while it this year
openly nurses fraternity support and
has on its ticket fraternity men.
Bond, now a student at Harvard,
said, '"I'm all for you, and after look
ing at the set-up for selecting candi
dates, I think the University party
has the best group of nominees and
should have a successful election."
Hudson's talk centered on a plea
for a clean campaign. He agreed with
Ellis that the University party cross
section ratio of 13 to 12 is more reli
able for selecting the best qualified
candidates and paid tribute to the
steering committee for its selection of
his running mates on the ticket.
Frosh Dance
Bids to the freshman dances
may be obtained tomorrow and
Friday at the YMCA. Through;

tions state that a dance will be

SENIOR CLASS
Completes Slate
In Wild Session
Late Last Night
By Bob Perkins
Bill Cole last night accepted the
Student Party nomination for presi
dent of the senior class and resigned
the chairmanship of the party which
he founded, and has directed for the
past two years.
Prior to the senior class nominations
the Student party completed its slate
of other officers for the coming elec
tions with the exception of vice-president
of the athletic association, and
editors of the Yackety-Yack and Ba
uaneer. Dissent Voiced
Following much dissent to his resig
nation Cole said he felt that for the
good of the party its chairman should
not-also be a candidate.
"Since the party has nominated me
for president of the senior class, I fell
obliged to resign my chairmanship,"
Cole said. "If elected I shall repre
sent not only one political party, but
the entire senior class."
Cole stated that he had planned for
some time to resign the chairmanship
of the party following elections.
Tom Meder's candidacy S or editor
ship of the Carolina Magazine was
officially announced. A contributor
to the Magazine during his sopho
more year, Meder, now a junior, is a
member of the Foreign Policy League,
and author of "Farm Tenancy in South
Atlantic State," an article in Nelson's
College Caravan, the freshman text
book in English.
Vice-President
Pete Williams, present secretary of
the junior class, was selected as can
didate for the vice-presidency of the
senior class.
Jim Hall was nominated for secre
tary of the class, but because of his
expressed desire following the meet
ing will run for the office of president
of the athletic association. This office
and the vice-presidency of the associa
tion had, by vote, been left up to a
nominating committee of the party.
Senior Secretary
Tom Fry, secretary of the interdor
mitory council and runner up for the
office of senior class secretary was
automatically made candidate for that
office.
Charlie Rider, tennis star and Sig
ma Chi, will be the candidate for
vice-president of the junior class.
Soph Candidates
Don Baker, freshman football and
track star, was nominated the presi
dency of the sophomore class. Sid

team, received the vice-presidency.

Tradition Broken -As
Miss Evans Is
- Named President
President David Kerley of the Dia
lectic senate last night, threw his or-,
ganization into a brief parliamentary
confusion that ended in a major break
of precedent when he tendered his
resignation from officeahd the senate
elected Senator Margaret Evans to
succeed him.
President Evans, when she takes '
the chair next Tuesday night, will be
come the first woman president of
the senate since its formation nearly
144 years ago. She has served since'
the fall quarter as its clerk, and was
elected chiefly because of her efficient
manner of discharging her duties. 1
Kerley found the action to be neces
sary as he has an evening class sched
uled that conflicts with the meeting
time of the senate and he would have
been unable to attend the meetings
for the remainder of the quarter.
