Di Demands
Bill Passage
Proposal JTo Limit
Campaign Expenses
The Di senate last night formally
demanded of the student legislature
that it pass a bill designed to limit
expendtitures by candidates for stu
dent offices.
The demand came in the form of a
resolution submitted by Manfred Rog
ers following the unanimous senate
approval .of a proposed campaign . ex
penditure bill which the Di recom
mended for passage by the legislature.
Quickly and with little hesitation
the Di senators voted, also unani
mously, in favor of Rogers' resolu
tion. In the discussion over the proposed
political spending bill Truman Hobbs,
Student party candidate for president
of the student body, came out in sup
port of the Di bill, saying, "I would
be satisfied if they would limit expend
itures to $5."
The measure, which does no more
than recommend that the legislature
pass legislation against excessive po
litical spending, would limit the can
didates for president, for editor of the
Daily Tar Heel, and for speaker of
the legislature to an expenditure dur
ing the campaign of $20.
Candidates for vice-president, edi
tor of Tar an' Feathers, editor of the
Carolina Magazine, and for the presi
dencies of the senior, junior and soph
omore classes, could not spend more
than $15.
Those running for any other office
would be limited to $10.
The bill provides that each candi
date shall, on the day following tht
election, submit to the clerk of the
legislature a detailed accounting of
his income and expenditures.
Also included is the provision that
"no person shall seek to persuade or
in any other way influence any other
person within 100 feet of the polls."

change in the pending lend-lease bill which might curtail all-out aid to Great

called "crippling" amendments one

the measure should be construed as

by Chairman David I. Walsh, Demo

Foreign Relations committee, which
would ban transfer of additional war
