BE CH0SEN
Polls Open In
YMCA At 10:30
This Morning:
Members of the junior" and senior
classes will vote on the leaders for
the Junior-Senior dances this morn
ing at-chapel period in the YMCA
lobby.
From a list of 22 senior and 36
junior nominees chosen by the class
officers and executive committees, the
classes as a whole will have the op
portunity to choose six from each
class. '
Figure
Those picked will take part in the
figures at the dances along with their
class officers and dance committee.
President Joe Patterson in arrang
ing the senior ballot had had three
blanks placed at the bottom so that
anyone wishing to vote a name not on
the ballot will have a chance to do so.
This was done to make sure no name
had been overlooked. However, only
six names may be voted.
Heretofore the leaders have been se
lected at the time of regular campus
elections. However, earlier deadlines
for the Yackety-Yack require that the
list be completed earlier than in the
past. . ,
Mtt Is
George Nethercutt
Is Candidate For
Student Council
. Mitchell Britt, who has been serv
ing as vice-chairman, yesterday took
over the chairmanship of the Student
party following Bill Cole's resigna
tion Tuesday night.
Cole resigned to accept the party's
nomination to run for the presidency
of the senior class. During the past
year in addition to serving as head
of the party which he organized two
years ago, Cole is now a member of
the campus cabinet and the student
welfare board.
Senior Repriesentatives
One candidate not mentioned in
yesterdayfs report of the Student
party nominations was George Neth
ercutt who was picked for the senior
class representative on the student
council. In addition to various other
campus -activities, Nethercutt is catch
er on the varsity baseball team.
Britt will call a meeting of the Stu
dent party members to night at 7:30
in the Phi hall, New East, to consider
a candidate for the newly proposed
office of secretary and treasurer of
the student body. A candidate for
vice-presidency of the athletic asso
ciation will also be discussed.
More Activities
Cole, in addition to the above men
tioned activities, is a member of the
Carolina Political union, was a mem
ber of the Freshman Friendship coun
cil, the interdormitory council, for
merly worked on the Daily Tar Heel,
Yackety-Yack, Buccaneer, and i3
chairman of the junior dance com
mittee. Cole formed the Student party two
years ago with the purpose of a
"fairer representation of the student
body as a whole in campus politics."
In the Student party he has endeav
ored to keep a ratio-of one-fourth
fraternity representation to three
fourths non-fraternity. This is ap-
proximately the ratio of the campus
population. He has stated that it was
never his policy not to have fraternity
representation in the party. "A par
ty," he says, "without fraternity rep
resentation would not present a
cross-section of the campus, such as
we have endeavored to maintain. This
is the policy we carried put last year
and are continuing this year."

SMITH PRAISES
INDUSTRIAL
WORKERS
V
Urges Support Of
Worker's Right
To Organize
"No group since the modern indus
trial system began has more faith
fully and fearlessly advocated the
widening and deepening of the demo
cratic process than the industrial
workers," National Labor Relations
Board member Edwin S. Smith said,
in opening his address in Memorial
hall last night.
The Carolina Political union speak
er was introduced by Dr. H. D. Wolfe
of the University Economics depart
ment. He spoke on the general sub
ject of "National Labor Relations Act
Guardian of Democracy."
Worker's Right
Less than 200 persons heard Smith's
speech, in which he urged support of
the worker's right to organize freely,
economically and politically, by those
who would support democracy.
Smith was accompanied on his trip
here by Judge Charles M. Feidelson,
regional director of the NLRB with
headquarters in Atlanta, and Benja
min Schaufflen of Baltimore, who is
the NLRB's regional director in that
district.
Hostile Amendments
"One thing which the defender of
American democracy who recognizes
the vital importance of the organized
labor movement in the democratic
scheme can and must do is to oppose
hostile amendments to the Wagner
act," the speaker said. "It behooves

BALLET GROUP
WILL PRESENT
SATIRE TONIGHT
Entertainment
Series to Open
With Trudi Schoop
Considered by critics as one of the
leading ballet groups of today, Trudi
Schoop and her comedians will open
the student entertainment series to
night in Memorial hall at 8:30 o'clock.
Miss Schoop, known as the Swiss
Puck of Pantomime, observing that
love manifests itself in many complex
ways, has made a composite picture
of the roles it plays in all the spheres
of life. With her mimes and dancers
she runs the gamut from the deep
rooted devotion of a mother to the
gaudy musical-comedy revue concept.
Vice-Versa
It is in these latter scenes that the
musical comedy and other dance forms
are burlesqued by the ballet, that clas
sical form which has so often been
ridiculed on the music hall stage.
With a musical background by Lo
thar Perl, "All for Love" starts off
with an ascetic preacher competing
with the roaring heedless city for the
ears of the hurrying passers-by. The
episodes depict with cinematic speed
the plight of mother-love stealing for
its children; a schoolgirl throwing a
classroom, the teacher and the board
of education into a furore by inject
ing love into the day's lesson; a jeal
ous husband being transformed into
a bar-fly.
Satire
This and more are the features in
this landscape of love that spreads
out and culminates in a broadly hu
morous satire of the super-terrific
musical revues that use love for their
central theme.

Magill Outlines
New Plan For
Legislature
Suggestion May- Be
Submitted to Campus In
Spring Elections
By Charles Barrett
Sweeping reorganization of the stu
dent council so as to invest it with
legislative powers and make it more
representative of the student body
was proposed last night by President
Bob Magill at an unofficial meeting
of 10 campus leaders.
If further discussion by this group
proves favorable, a definite plan will
be drafted and submitted to a joint
session of the interdormitory and in
terfraternity councils. If these coun
cils approve, the proposal will be sub
mitted to a campus vote in the gen
eral spring elections April 12.
Opinion Reflector
Endorsed by the student council at
its meeting Tuesday night, Magill's
tentative proposal was that the four
class honor councils convene jointly
with the student council as a legisla
tive body. - This group would make
campus laws and serve as a reflector
of campus opinion on important is
sues. Aims of the new body, as suggested
by Magill, would be to come to grips
with the responsibility of maintenance
of the honor system, or "it will soon
reach a stage of complete dormancy,"
to settle petty disputes among paral
lel governing groups and eliminate
future disputes, to instigate a down
ward change in student fees by pass
ing on budgets of all fee collecting
organizations, to form more clearly
rules of campus living concerning haz
ing, gabling -etc., and to - provide a "
group which is representative enough
of the student body to speak for the
campus on questions of general in
terest, y
Not Representative
The leading campus officer assert
ed that the present student council is
not representative enough and does
not have authority to instigate mat
ters of this sort or similar ones.
The council now consists of 10 stu
dents, as follows: Representatives
from the three upper classes, one rep
resentative each from the law. medi
cal, and pharmacy schools, two mem
bers at large elected from previous
council members, and the president
and vice president of the student
body.
Proposed Office
The council recently proposed addi
tion of a new office, secretaryrtreas
urer of the student body, which will
also be voted upon in the spring elec
tions. A slightly similar move, proposing
setting up of an official campus leg
islature to be selected by a complex
system of representation from cam
pus organizations, was defeated in a
general election last spring.
Concerning this plan, Magill said,
"Our simple solution need not involve
complicated and fundamental changes.
