Devils Trail, 31-19,
At Half, Drive
Through To Win
By SHELLEY ROLFE
Leading off in the first half at an
amazing rate of speed, the White
Phantoms closely resembled something
the cat would not drag in respectable
company tne second and dropped a
50-44 decision to Duke - at Woollen
gym last night before 5,500 customers
The result dropped Carolina out of
a first class place Southern confer
ence tie, putting the Blue Devils in
front with nine wins and one loss.
The defeat caused much consterna
tion among the Carolina faithful and
left many in a. profound "can such
things be" feeling. Such things can
be and were. Duke, behind 31-19 at
the start of the second period and ap
parently in as much danger of win
ning as it was overthrowing the gov
ernment, suddenly came to life. The
Phantoms dropped dead during the
period, collected 13 points while Duke
was making 31 and could do nothing
while the Devils were staging a finish
drive that saw matters settled once
and for all in the last two minutes
of the game with a seven point rush,
What made it worse from the local
point of- view was that Duke won
without the services of Glen Price,
Chick Holley and Cy Vasalek. Mr
Price, outstanding performer in the
Duke cast, had a bad foot and played
no more than several minutes. Holley,
who made life miserable for Glamack
the second .period, fouled out with
12 minutes left. Valasek was hurt
fouling Severin and had to leave the
game midway during the half.
Even with these handicaps, the Lit-

GROUP TO FORM
ENTERTAINMENT
CLUB TODAY
Name To Be Chosen
At 2 O'clock Meet
In Graham Memorial
Students interested in forming i
campus entertainment club will meet
this afternoon at 2 o'clock on the sec
ond floor of Graham Memorial for i
brief organizational meeting at which
the name of the new club will be se
lected, and plans for a spring show
will be discussed, Carroll McGaughey,
director of the recent Student-Faculty
day jamboree, announced yesterday.
McGaughey yesterday was enthus
iastic about the new club. "A lot of
us here on the campus have wanted
some sort of organization that would
be equipped to produce regular shows
using only campus talent. We got
off to a good start with our jamboree
program, and now we ..want to take
advantage of it by forming a perma
nent club," he said.
PLANS
Already planned for production is
a spring musical comedy to be pre
sented in early May. McGaughey
urged everyone interested in any
phase of show production to attend
this afternoon's meeting.
"We'll need everything from script
writers to stage hands," he said, "and
students needn't be afraid to come
out because they haven't had exper
ience. At least three quarters of the
cast in the jamboree show had never
been on a stage before, but they had
a darn good time and are among the
most enthusiastic boosters of the new
group."

GROUP MAY CALL
PRIMARY BILL
FROM COMMITTEE
Changes Expected
In Final Draft
Of Constitution
Two topics, the newly proposed
Student legislature constitution and
an attempt to bring a bill calling for
campus primaries to the floor of the
body, will share the limelight tomor
row night in Gerrard hall at 9 o'clock
at a special meeting of the legisla
ture. The proposed constitution was in
troduced to the legislature last week
by. a specially appointed committee,
but because of lack of sufficient time
to discuss it, and also because there
was controversy concerning the
clause m tne constitution wmcn re-.-
quires a two-thirds majority of the
body's entire membership instead of
the required quorum now in force in
order to ratify it.
Discussion by the entire body will
continue through the entire constitu
tion. Last week several changes werej
made in the first draft, the most im
portant of which was one changing
the representation from 48 to 50 mem
bers the editor of the Daily Tar
Heel, and an additional town student
increasing, the number. Mitchell
Britt suggested that the "Powers"- di
vision of "the document be "referred "to
the ways and means committee for
deliberation, but the matter was kill
ed, and thus many changes are yet to
be discussed by the legislature as ad
ditional points are taken up.
The other important topic to come
up will be action to be brought up by
Chuck Kline. Last week Kline intro
duced a bill, and according to legis
lature rules it was referred to the
ways and means committee for de
liberation. ' Friday the committee
voted down the bill by a vote of 3 to
2. This action automatically keeps

Outside of that, there wasn't a sin

or voice of Al Donahue's vocalist to
mar the excellent impression she made
with the band at the Interdormitory
Grail dances yesterday. Her husband,
incidentally, is named Harold Nich

year, one month and 11 days ago and
he is one of the Modernaries in Paul

ACTION REPORTED
PENDING OUTCOME
OF PRIMARY BILL
Move Might Split
Dorm Vote; U.P., SJY
LeacJers Disapprove
By CHARLES BARRETT
A third campus party is looming on
Carolina's political horizon, state
ments from Preston Nisbet, chairman
of the Student party, and Bob Sumner,
chairman of the University party, in
dicated yesterday.
Nisbet said he had heard reliable
reports that such a party would be or
ganized if the campus primary bill is
not forced from the ways and means
committee and passed at tomorrow
night's session of the student legisla
ture. He said he believed the thiro! party
would use the elections bill, introduced
by Chuck Kline, as the basis of its
program, but that in reality it would
be a movement to split Student party
support among the dormitories.
'The Student party has always been
recognized as an organization aimed at
giving dormitory men a proportionate
voice in campus affairs," he said. "It
is highly possible that realization of
this fact could lead to an effort to split
Student party support among the dor
mitories. "This is even more likely since pass
age last quarter of an elections pre
cinct bill will place ballot boxes in one
of the quadrangle dormitories."
SUMNER
Sumner said he had heard 'very in
definite" reports of a thjrd jparty but
that he saw absolutely no need for one.
He expressed satisfaction that the pres
ent two-party method has given the
