Therefore, in view of these and the number and quality of the ar ticles he has written for the Maga zine, the Carolina Party feels justified in breaking the custom of waiting for the staff nominations to name a can didate." Roof began work on the Magazine in his freshman year and is now a member of the editorial board. To date he has had 21 contributions; pub lished as compared to eight by the next highest staff member.

Collegiate Interest In Grand Old Party Steadily Increases ' (By ACP) With Republican clubs springing up on many college and university ' cam puses in all sections of the nation, in terest in the Grand Old Party's future is growing steadily among U. S. col legians. . Although seemingly anxious to see the Republicans come but on top in the coming battle of ballots, collegiate editorial writers do not like the meth ods or the men that are being pro posed as weapons for the war. Here is a review of collegiate comment on the party's activities: " - From the University of Iowa Daily Iowan: "Because the split in the Demo cratic ranks would be an unfortunate upheaval distress jng in times when there are important problems to solve, we are hopeful that the concerted ef forts to revive the full strength of the GOP will be a success. The normal functioning of our party system, with out the split in Democratic ranks, should res'ult when the Republicans succeed finally, as they appear to be doing, in their revival." From the Auburn Polytechnic In stitute Plainsman: "Out of all the presidential boomlets for favorite sons, dark horses, and duds, one clear cut fact emerges. The Democrats have no one except Roosevelt. The Repub licans have no one. Dewey is the only Republican who isn't as colorless as a ue?u " P"- j i i i i i fj. a v; iiucai eyeteeun yeu HELL, HIGH WATER From the Washburn College Re view: "William Allen White, hell, or high water notwithstanding, nobody has ever been genius enough to recon cile the Republican party with liberal ism. Not even Teddy Roosevelt could do that. The Republican party has no political crutch to stand on except con servatism." N From the University of Oklahoma Daily: "While he (Republican Joseph W. Martin) condemns the Roosevelt ' ded wearily through the dark, mourn (Continued on page f, column 2) ' ing her song, "I Ain't Got No-Baby."

J Drawing its entire slate nearer , to completion, the University party 'yes terday announced the nomination of Bill Shuf ord, rising-senior from Ashe ville, for secretary-treasurer of the student body and Tom Long and Ed Maner for debate council. Shuf ord's nomination marks the second candi date that the campus' oldest political faction has named for the chief student body offices, Bill Dees, two year student councilman, having been nominated for president of the stu dent body last month. Shuford has been active in student government while at the University. During the past year he was voted to represent Grimes dormitory in the University club, and 'was later elected secretary of the organization. Shuford was also elected vice-president of Grimes dormitory, and is a member of "the Interdormitory cuncil. Last Spring he was named to the ju nior class executive committee. MANER AND LONG Both Maner and Long, candidates for the debate council, have led ac tive careers in campus public speak ing. A senior entering law school, Long has been prominent in Phi debating and was formerly vice-president of the campus Young Demo cratic club. While in the Phi, he held the office of sergeant-at-arms. He is also treasurer of the Interf raternity council. Maner, who lives " in Savannah, Georgia, has-been one of the leading debaters on the University team this year. Yesterday, he was one of a squad of five selected to take the an (Continued on page 2, column S) STUDENT UNION SPONSORS PIANIST Lindemann To Give Recital On Sunday - Miss- Baldura Lindemann, Minnea polis pianist, will present a concert in the main lounge of Graham Memorial Sunday afternoon at 5 o'clock, mark ing the final student union concert of the winter quarter.

"I ain't got no baby," mournfully wailed coed Jeanne Connell of 316 Spencer last night when she discov ered that "Baby," her very recently acquired white goat, had disappear ed, even taking along his harness and chain, from his corral in back of Spencer hall. Jeanne had personally caged and caught the goat yesterday afternoon at the farm of Jake Cole who lives seven miles out of Chapel Hill. She . told the pres3 and special investiga tors that "Baby? has "two little horns, is pure white, and is a twin of another little goat that Mr. Cole still has." , And far into last night Jeanne con tinued her search for "Baby," stop ping everyone she met and asking in formation concerning her goat.
