BOST'S ADDRESS
ENDS CONFERENCE
Chapel Hill Girl
Gets NCSPI Office
Ycrti tught to tell the truth," Tom
Bost, Capitol Hill corespondent for
the Greensboro Daily News, last night
told high school journalists in Gerrard
hall.
The address of Bost, often referred
to as "the dean of North Carolina
newspapermen, climaxed the two-day
meeting of the North Carolina Scho
lastic Press institute and dealt with
"The Fear of Words."
"You have got to use simple lan
guage in newspapers. There are many
words which arouse fear," he explained.
The veteran journalist gave examples
of what he was talking about and told
the delegates, "I am not use to talk
ing to intelligent people, I am used to
talking to newspapermen."
Thinks God Put Sense in World
"I don't mind seeing a man go nuts
about a woman, if they go , nuts the
right way," he said. "I am beginning
to think as I see each generation, that
it is God's effort to put a little sense in
the world."
He spoke of many words which are
coined to bring about fear. "We have
words to meet these things," he de
clared. "Kill off all the " phobias," he
concluded.
. The general sesion was highlighted
by the election of officers and a dis
cussion of future plans of the organi
zation. Marv McDonald, Chapel Hill
high school student, was elected to

Party Heads Say
Election Costs (
Are Unreasonable
. By Charles Barrett t
Declaring that unrecognized and
uncontrolled political activity tend! to
set a "price tag" on student govern
ment, Bob Sumner and Preston N.is
bet, chairmen of Carolina's major
parties, yesterday termed expendi
tures in campus elections "unreason
able" and joined in advocating some
type of regulation. 1
"We, through our experience tin
campus politics, , have become con
vinced unregulated expenditures are a
detriment to good government," they
said.
"We would like to propose vigor
ously that some maximum be plac ed
on campaign expenses, that candidates
t
be required to file them, and that
totals be published. ... . ,.
Conspicuous Consumption
"Parties and candidates spend ex
horbitant sums against their will, only
because they feel they have to keep
up with their opponents," they ex
plained. Informed that a survey by the
Daily Tar Heel indicates that nearly
$1,000 was spent in the last election,
Sumner and Nisbet said this figure
seemed accurate and that it "indi
cates clearly the foolishness candi
dates and parties indulge in."
Several other universities are known
to have regulations such as those ad
vocated by the two party titans at
Carolina.
Sumner, who led the University
party through the recent strenuous
campaign, and Nisbet, chieftain of the
Student party, said they believed poli
tics was generally over-emphasized at
Carolina.
Too Much Cash Spent '
"Elections and nominations are im
portant, but not to the extent many
students consider them," they said.
"It seems unbelievable at first that
boys are willing to spend almost

McKie Charges
Definite Injury

' - A......v.-mrr..V.S . . . -
By Bocky Harward
Charging that fraternities have shown themselves "to be a defi
nite injury on the campus Professor George McKie of the Uni
versity English department, yesterday announced his intention of
"taking some sort of action concern-
ing the fraternities" at a future faculty
meeting.
"Apparently the Interfraternity and
Student councils have been unable to
control the fraternities' malpractices,"
he asserted.
"Fraternities could definitely be an
agency for good here at Carolina," de
clared McKie, who recently resigned
from his own fraternity, the local
chapter of Pi Kappa Alpha. "They
have organization, attractive social
life and influence which they could use
for the good of the campus, but appar
ently they are on the other side."
Professor McKie made special men
tion of recent reports of hell week prac
tices which he considered "unworthy
of men anywhere and much more un
worthy here at Carolina."
Physical Indignities 'Are Brutal
"When physical indignities are prac
ticed on one's associates because of
power one has in numbers, it is noth
ing but brutality," he continued. "I
grant that some of the acts of initation
and induction may be very fine, but the
unsocial acts noted in the Tar Heel and
reported commonly on the campus are
certainly not."
McKie also spoke of "their former,
if not still existent practice of en
couraging cheating by keeping files
for term papers."
He emphasized throughout his state
ment that his information was derived
from common knowledge and not neces
sarily things that he himself had seen
in fraternities.
He granted that the "childish prac
tices of initation" . were not confined
to the fraternities alone but could be
found in a large number of campus -or
ganizations and that the whole student
body was careless, in that it frequently
misrepresented the real spirit" of the
University.
Student Responsibility
"The untidiness of the campus lawns,
for instance," he said, "is a student res
ponsibility. Also, if the student body

Cost Over $850
By Philip Carden .
Nearly $1,000 enough to send two
men to Carolina for a year was
spent on campaigning by the 107 can
didates in this year's election, it was
indicated in a Daily Tar Heel sur
vey concluded yesterday.
Over $850 was definitely found to
have been spent with local and Dur
ham business places printshops and
engravers and a conservative esti-
mato rr iin.rroceiih a PvnoTiriirnrpa
with firms which were not contacted
in the survey and for incidentals
would bring the approximate total to
$1,000. '
Of this amount the Student party
budget accounted for about $150, the
University party budget about $115,
and the Carolina party budget about
$65. Total expenditures by the three
parties was about $330, the remainder
being spent by individual candi
dates for extras not provided for by
the parties.
Parties Assessed Candidates
-The parties reported that they ob
tained their funds by. assessing can
didates. The Student party four, three
and two dollars according to the im
portance of the offices; the University
party charged three and two dollars;
and the Carolina party, straight two
dollars.
Candidates for several of the major
campus offices were asked for re
ports of their individual expenditures.
Most interesting result of this phase
of the survey was that Dave Morri
son and Bill Dees made reports of
their expenses in seeking the student
body presidency which were only two
cents- apart-i-Morrison, $40.02, - and
Dees, $40. Reddy Grubbs reported
$12.
Other individual candidates report
ing their expenses were: Byrd Mer
rill, $24, and Bill Broadfoot, $20, for
