All delegates to the party's conven tion will be elected this week. Dormi tory representatives will be elected by residents of each dormitory tonight at 10:30, Britt, who served as chairman of the party for two years prior to Nisbet's term and has been connected with the party for four of its five years of exist ence, said that he will serve as leader only until a party convention can elect a permanent chairman. "Really Democratic" Organization Party leaders claimed yesterday that their efforts toward a "really demo cratic way of choosing candidates" is not a camouflage. "What tonight's election of conven tion delegates and you will find that they are on the up and up;'" they said. Following is Britt's statement which accompanied his announcement of ac ceptance of the temporary chairman ship: "Since its organization in 1936 the Student party has tried several ideas in efforts to find a really democratic method of selecting good candidates ior student offices. First it was mass meetings, then large elected conven tions. Both methods, though potential ly in the hands of the student body, were capable of being controlled by a minority. "This year we are retaining the se lected convention, but are making it See STUDENT PARTY, page 2. Senate Favors Existing Party Systei m in South The Di senate last night defeated by a close majority a measure en titled, "Resolved, that the one-party system now existing in the South is detrimental to this region." Arthur Link began the discussion "by pointing out that the South has need for a strong Republican party, because the one-party system is op posed to the democratic idea of gov ernment and because the South has little influence in Washington, since there is no doubt as to the loyalty of southern Democrats. Link went on , to say that "the Democratic party has failed to do the main thing that would accomplish the most benefit for the South, and that is to equalize the freight rate differential between goods going north and goods going south." Mallison Favors Bill Muriel Mallison spoke in favor of the bill, stating that the South does not need to worry about unfair po litical reprisals as long as the present system continues. She said that the South has benefited greatly by pre senting a solid front in Congress. Carrington Gretter expressed the "belief that if the South could show the nation that she could break away from the traditional trend of politics in this section she would receive many con See SENATE, page 4. Dusky Warriors Battle Friday In Chocolate Bowl Grid Classic Game Sponsored by YMCA Social Service Commission Color will run rampant Friday aft ernoon on Fetzer field at 2 o'clock when the Dusky Devastators from the Orange County Training School of Chapel Hill meet the Ebony Eleven of the W. S. Creecy School of Rich Square in the classic of classics, the Chocolate Bowl. Undaunted by the let-down in foot ball enthusiasm since the fall of the taunted Duke eleven last Saturday, the YMCA social service commission which is sponsoring the event, ex pects to draw a crowd of monstrous proportions to witness the only cap ped sample of a Hitler blitzkrieg. Scalpers will be at a minimum at 41s first Bowl game of the season for Converted Luncheonette Provides Students New Campus Social Center fVin xroveA uiw a, vuupus social cen ter, the University dining hall cafe teria launched last night its plan to provide students a place for light re freshments and dancing every week night. Dim red and blue lights and an auto matic phonograph were installed yes terday afternoon in the cafeteria. Ac cording to the plan, dinner music was played from 5 until 8 o'clock. Then the center of the floor was cleared for dancing until 11 o'clock. Dance Today Starting Ithils afternoon, students who wish may dance any time up un til 5 o'clock when the dinner music be gins.

Pointing out that all expenses of the trip were legal and that uncontroll ed extravagance was the worst term that could be applied, he recommended hat, to prevent a recurrence of such extravagance, expenses for trips be estimated ahead of time and limits be set on each type of expenditure. He added that it "might be a good idea" to require that receipted bills be turned in with accounts of the trip. Total Expenses . v The total expense reported was $438.83. Classified totals from the itemized account of the trip include valet ser vice, cleaning, pressing; and laundry totalling $21.20; tips, $25.55; meals $88.49; parlor car,drawing room, and pullman car surcharges, $31.05; hotel bills, $60.00; taxi fares, $19.80; rail road, bus and automobile transporta- ion. $173.83: uhone calls and tele- - j T grams, $5.71. The statement in the Legislature ses sion that a shoe-shine and shoe re pair item was included in the record was a mistake resulting from misread- mg. The four debaters who made the trip were Phil Ellis, who served as trip treasurer, Walter Kleeman, Joe Daw son, and Ed Maner. Maner, the only one of the four who is on the campus this year, declined to comment last night. Every entry for meals and hotel bills specified that the amount was for four people. However, Maner was not with the other three throughout the trip, having remained in Boston an extra day and having spent one of the two nights in Washington with kinpeople. Maner explained that when he check ed out of the hotel in Washington to stay with his people, the hotel manage ment claimed he was top late to receive credit for that part of the bill. He said that his stay in Boston was paid for out of council funds and that he could not understand why a sep arate item for this, expense was not included in the accounts. He could not explain why the records indicated that he stayed at the Edison hotel in New York the night that he really stayed at the Statler in Boston, but that he was "sure it was all right," although See SHAW, page U. the admission is only one-fourth of a dollar, twenty-five cents.

All other grill specialties, and meals will be served during the regular schedule of from 10 a.m. until 11 pin. . j. . ' Would Provide Hangout" . . The management of the dining hall explained yesterday that the purpose of the new program was "to eliminate the need for a convenient campus "hangout" place for the students." : "Before this,", they pointed' out "there has really been no place in town where students could go to dance." The automatic 'phonograph, which was borrowed from the Carolina Inn, will furnish music at no cost -to the students. If enough interest is shown in the plan, those in charge promise that one will be bought for the lunch eonette. . Trip Expenses i ; ; Debate Tryouts Next Tuesday!

Powe, Carr Triumph In Fresh UNC Spirit Prompts Dake Demonstration Carolina's school spirit as shown at the Duke-Carolina game Saturday touched off a bit of a demonstration on the Duke campus Monday evening. " The Duke freshman class, charg ing that upperclassmen lacked spirit and cooperation in cheering, pro tested the wearing of . freshman caps, which traditionally are re quired until Christmas if Duke loses to Carolina. - The demonstration followed a pep rally Monday night. Four hundred students took part and were quieted only by the appearance of the Deans. Speaking to the students, Dean Manchester said, "If we had had as much spirit Saturday afternoon as we had tonight we might have won the game. It was Carolina spirit that won the game for Carolina.

The Elisha Mitchell Scientific so ciety was meeting to hear the presen tation of a new geometrical interpre tation of Einstein's famous Relativity Theory. ; Now only a handful of scholars over the world are even supposed to under stand the Einstein Theory, much less offer new concepts thereto, and the co-proponents of this new slant stood at opposite ends of the age scale. Dr. Archibald Henderson, head of the University department of mathe matics, who is said to me one of the few authorities on relativity, is 63, and Professor C. H.

Elections Total of 355 Votes Cast In Run-Offs By Ernest Frankel The political duel for freshman of fices ended last night with the election of E. K. Powe as president and Mike Carr as secretary, after a week of in tense campaigning. Less than half the class voted de spite the interest keyed up in the run-off s. Powe won over Mac Sherman by an overwhelming majority, taking 260 of the 350 votes for the presi dency. Carr pulled away from Charles Clark with 186 ballots to his oppo nent's 159. . The winners, seemingly confident that they could live up to all their promises, offered plans for the future and denied that they had "hopped the band wagon to political oblivion." Will Begin Immediately Powe explained that "the reason so many former freshman officers have fallen by the wayside in later years is evident. They obviously did little or nothing to deserve the confidence of their classmates. I expect to get my plans under way as soon as possible. IH appoint committees immediately and turn to carrying out the planks of the platform which the freshmen have shown they wanted." Speaking of Sherman, Powe said, "Mac has been a fine boy to work against. Our campaigns have kept us apart, but I hope to get together with him and work out some way in which we can make all the freshman class join in building unity." Sherman Asks Unity Sherman, in answer to Powe's state ment, said, "I wish to congratulate E. K. on his fine success in the election. I would like ta thank those who sup ported me and it is my sincere hope that they will join me in giving all possible aid to Powe in the coming year." Carr congratulated his opponent for his "fair, frank, and honest cam paign" and thanked his class for electing him. "I will work in full co operation with the newly elected presi dent and I promise better cooperation in the freshman class.

Phi Debates United States' Aid to Nazis "If we send food and clothing to German-dominated countries will it not go to Germany, or indirectly help the Nazis through feeding Frenchmen who work in their factories ?" Speaker Pro Tem Jimmy Pittman said in the discussion in the Phi Assembly which ended in the defeat of a bill re solving that the United States should send food and clothing to German dominated countries in Europe. "It seems foolish to send food over there if the Germans are going to take it over," Representative Bill Webb continued in the same vein. The ensuing controversy brought forth Mac McLendon's opinion that, In no point am I able to find evidence that would keep us from attempting to send aid to these people." The bill was defeated by a vote of 18-10. Kathleen Lineback and Jim Loeb were initiated into the organization. Grice Speaks To Accountants T. N.
