F. Bradshaw, as town religious leaders continued their criticism of the maga zine. Dean Bradshaw said the University would take no action regarding the humor publication, and offered his suggestions for its improvement only after inquiries. "Because the Buccaneer has a sub sidized monopoly of publication in a field where tastes and mores are in volved rather than freedom of inquiry and discussion, it . does seem to con stitute a special kind of journalistic problem," he said. FORMER ARRANGEMENT "It might be well for the editor to revive a former arrangement whereby the material submitted was criticized before publication by a representative group of students acting in an ad visory capacity. "Such an arrangement should not be confused by the label of 'censor w he (Wpd.

No press or institution on the campus or in the world outside is an end in itself. Each is a means to a general end of social health and advancement in truth, and justice. An institution that refuses to limit itself to the general welfare claims freedom that it destroys." - , MORE CRITICISM - -Meanwhilc.two more religious lead ers added their voice of disapproval to the criticism already launched by Dr. Donald Stewart, Presbyterian minister. .- . - Harry F.

WHITE PHANTOMS END SIX GAME LOSING STREAK Glamack Leads Carolina Scoring With 24 Points : - By SHELLEY ROLFE (Special to the Daily Tar Heel) WAKE FOREST, Jan. 31. The most disappointing basketball team i& the Southern, conference hauled down the flaunting banner of Wake Foiv est's Southern conference champions ship aspirations tonight and casually brazenly used it to end a six game losing streak. : . j No more than guinea pigs in an ex periment intended to prove that Wake WAKE FOREST, Jan. 31 Jim mie Howard, Carolina guard, was taken to Watts hospital, Durham," tonight suffering from a brain' concussion suffered at the end of tonight's regulation game when he collided with Bill SweeL Forest was mightiest of mighty confer ence teams, the Carolina Tar Heels blandly appropriated the scalpel, for-: ced the Deacons to do their bidding, and won in an extra period, 56-54 on Bill Watson's twisting field goal with 53 seconds to go in the over-time. GLAMACK George Glamack was the chief pro tagonist in the overthrow. of the Dea cons, scoring 24 points on 11 field goals and two fouls. He was most ef fective in the first-half when 'in the first few minutes of play he clicked with three rapid fire pivot shots to keep the Tar Heels tied with the Dea cons, while Wake Forest was trying to find out what it was all about. Jim Waller scored 19 points to lead a desperate Wako Forest team which was' behind 35-25 at the half and seemed hopelessly out of the game. But Waller kept the Deacons in the running and in a position to tie the game."

M'CALLISTER PUTS UNC AT TOP IN EXTENSION WORK Chicago Director Says Grumman Has Fine Service Jaere "The University of North Carolina certainly rates at the top in the ex tension service it is providing for the adults in this state," said Ralph Mc Callister, Director of the Adult Educa tion Council in Chicago which includes 18 colleges and universities. On a three months leave from Chi cago, McCallister is visiting outstand ing extension divisions in the mid west and eastern states. After a few days in Chapel Hill last week he went to Virginia. He will also visit Wash ington and New York before return ing to Chicago. PRAISE McCallister praised the informal way in which the people in the State are reached. "Especially important is the work which I notice the Univer sity library is accomplishing," he added, "by sending out bulletins and other printed matter on various sub jects." - WR. M. Grumman is doing a fine piece of work here at the University," he commented. "In Chicago we are hampered because a private institu tion's activities are limited. I am glad to see a state university taking ad vantage of its opportunities to edu cate the adults in the state in the way the University of North Carolina does." GROWTH He pointed out that extension work by colleges is growing both in scope and importance. More than thirty mil lion people are now taking advantage of this service. Club women are especially active in securing the pam phlets and distributing them among the members of the clubs. Mrs. Chamberlain Will Speak At Bull's Head "This.

Political Pots Boi After S iiFBrise Campus politicos were taken by surprise last night when both political factions the Student and University parties gave stu dent politics its earliest official start in history by announcing their nominations of Jim Davis, popular junior track man, for president of the student body. The Student party made its choice in its opening convention, held last night in Phi assembly hall. Learning of the Student party action, University party officials announced their steering com mittee had on the previous night also nominated Davis, but had withheld announcement. T?r nnwAin rTC?rrrr Close on the heels of announcement by the Student party last night that it had nominated Jim Davis for presi dency of the student body, the Uni versity party announced it had on Monday night unanimously chosen Davis as its standard bearer. Due to the early date of its choice, and in hope that some arrangement could be worked out whereby both par ties would announce all candidacies simultaneously at a later date, the University party steering committee decided to delay announcement of its choice of Davis. "We are very glad that the Student rarty has seen fit to duplicate our nomination of Davis," Chairman Stu die Ficklen of the University party declared. "He is the logical man for the office as is evidenced by both parties nominating him." Ficklen went on to point out that Davis won an overwhelming victory for vioe-presidency of the junior class last spring on the University party ticket. "In view of this demonstration by his class of- faith in his ability," the chairman said, "the University party unhesitatingly turned to him to lead its ticket in the approaching spring elections. "We were afraid that formal an nouncement of Davis as our candi date at such an early date might in terfere with his studies and track work, but now that the Student party has endorsed him, public announce ment can be made." The University party steering com mittee, composed of 23 members, 11 of them representatives of as many fraternities and 12 non-fraternity men representing almost every phase of campus life, has begun holding meet ings to discuss prospective candidates for other offices. Last year under the same sort of arrangement of steering committee a non-fraternity majority of one on the group University party candi dates won 23 out of 30 campus and class offices.

Starts By CARROLL McGAUGHEY The Student party last night threw a bombshell into campus politics when the first session of the party conven tion unanimously nominated Jin Davis to the presidency of the student body in the coming spring elections. The move came as a surprise to campus politicians who had not ex pected a nomination for an important campus position to come for some time. Mitchell Britt, chairman of the party, spoke for the group and explained the reasons for the action. "Since the convention was a group selected on the basis of proportional representation from the whole cam pus, and as tne convention voted unanimously to nominate Davis, we saw no reason to withhold the an nouncement." Davis, prominent junior track man, could not be contacted last night to learn whether or not he would ac cept the nomination. ACTIVITIES - The nominee is a member of the Order of the Grail, Order of the Shieks, president of the University club, vice-president of the junior class, member of the Monogram club, and star miler on the University track team. The rest of the Student party slate will not be selected for some time, (Continued en last page) Student Council Suspends Three Following a. hectic three fcoer and a half session last night, Jha Joyner, president of the student body, announced that as the result of a meeting of the Student Council, three boys were suspended from school fer violation of the Campus code. It is believed that one student was suspended for the remainder of the quarter and another was suspended for one year. Ballet Star, Who Gave First Dance On Playmaker Stage, Returns For Concert By SANFORD STEIN "All my life! had swum, fenced, and played football. But when I fin ished with these sports, I felt I wanted something more in physical activity, something thatwould also provide an emotional and mental outlet. I found all that in dancing." Foster Fitz-Simons, Carolina alum nus who last night gave a dance re cital with Miss Miriam Winslow at the Playmaker theater, gave this as one of his reasons for entering the field of ballet. Fitz-Simons was born in Atlanta, Ga., and went for two years to Emory university. Transferring to Carolina in 1933, he met Pheobe Barr, who had danced with the Denis-Shawn troupe and whose husband was doing gradu ate work in physics at the University. Until then, he had never done any interpretive dancing in his life. "But I asked Mrs. Barr," said Fitz Simons, "to give me some lessons, and she s said she. would if I could get v .
