Ficklen Says UP WiUStay uut ut lntertrat Election; Council Will Meet Tonight Party Has No Connection With Any "Frame-Ups" The University party will be strictly out of the picture when annual elections for the Inter fraternity council are held to night, Chairman Studie Ficklen said yesterday in answer to a story m the Daily Tar Heel which revealed an alleged line up of rival fraternity factions. First Statement 44 J J J 1 f 1 contrary to me article m yesterday's paper, the Univer sity party takes no part in In- terfraternity council elections," Ficklen said in his first public statment since his election as chairman following the recent political campaign. "Frame-Ups" The article occasioning Fick len's response exposed two al leged "frame-ups," one compos ed of Kappa Alpha, Zeta Psi, Chi Psi, Phi Kappa Sigma, Sigma Nu, Beta Theta Pi, and Sigma Chi; and the other made up of Phi Delta Theta, Alpha Tau Omega, Phi Gamma Delta, "and possibly Delta Kappa Epsilon and Sigma Alpha Epsilon." Removed From Party If such line-ups do exist, Fick len viewed them as being entire ly removed from party political lines. "It is evident that we have no part in these elections be cause the party's fraternities are almost evenly divided between the two so-called 'frame-ups1 mentioned," he declared. UP Fraternities University party fraternities whose names anneared in the "line-ups" are Kappa Alpha, 2eta Psi, Phi Kappa Sigma, Sig ma Nu, and Beta Theta Pi in the first clique, and Phi Delta Theta, Alpha Tai Omega, Phi Gamma Delta, and Delta Kappa Epsilon in the second group. Independent Groups "Any fraternities who are in these alleged "frame-ups" are acting independently of the Uni versity party," Ficklen's state ment continued. "It has always been the policy of the Univer sity party to keep out of these elections and we shall stick to that policy this year." 77 Chapel Hill Choral Club Announces Final Concert "The Requiem Mass" To Be Presented On Baccalaureate Day The Chapel Hill Choral club will present as its second con jert of the year "The Requiem Mass" at 8 :30 on Baccalaureate Sunday night, June 5, in Hill Music hall.

Dances Under the direction of Lynn Gault and Mrs. Ora Mae Davis, a group of 25 dancers practice spins and turns of the 14 cen tury English folk dances that are to be given before, after, and during the play. The num ber in the last act is an original interpretation by Mrs. Davis. A heavily padded torso, yard length sleeves, and intricate buckram head dress, are a few of the many costume problems that Mrs. Davis has confronted in preparation for this production. The torso is to thicken the girth of lusty Falstaff, played by Bob Nachtmann who is appearing in his last Playmaker production.
