SP Completes Slate Tonight;
UP Endorses Moll For Editor
Legislature Speaker, Cheerleader,
T an' F Editor, to Be Named in Swoop
By Philip Carden ' " '
The Student party last night set off a spark in a heretofore listless political
season with the surprise announcement that it would complete its. entire slate
except for two publications editorships in an open convention tonight at 7:30
in Gerrard hall. r
The decision to finish nominations in one swoop was made in a business
convention ;last night 1 at which" Tommy Sparrow was named treasurer' to
handle $75 allowed in" the party budg-f
et by . the recently enacted campus
"Hatch bill.'" " ,
Ten ' candidacies remain unfilled
in the party slate, and two of these
are editorships for which staff nomi
nations have not yet been held.
Nine Offices to Be Nominated
The eight offices for which candi
dates will be chosen tonight are Tar
an' Feathers editor, speaker of the
Student legislr,tuie, cheerleader, ju
nior member of the PU board, senior
vice-president, treasurer and two se
nior legislature members.
Party men gave no indication last
night whether or not the party will
endorse Jak Armstrong who Tuesday
night was chosen staff nominee . for
editor of Tar an' Feathers. In past
years it has been the party's policy to
vote a blanket endorsement of all staff
nominees before staff nominations.
However, the early Mag 'nominations
this year forestalled this move if it
was contemplated and each editor
ship is being considered separately.
Possible Endorsements
None of the convention delegates
would comment on the possibility,
which some observers have predicted,
that the party would. give a .. double
nomination ,to - Terry Sanford and
Bucky Harward, UP candidates for
speaker of the legislature and junior
member of the PU board.
No hint whatever could be gleaned
about the cheerleadership. Because of
pending legislature action on pro
posals that the cheerleader . be re
moved from the campus ballot neither
party had discussed the post until the
proposals were killed Monday night. J

Drive To Begin

A concerted drive will be made to

only nine fraternities, reporting on

the total had "already soared well over
the $110 mark. It is expected that
the final fraternity number will al

Midnight Show
McMasters Defines
Coed Council Action
In-response to campus criticism of
the woman's honor council action re
calling the coed's privilege of attend
ing midnight shows, Jane McMaster,
president, yesterday explained the
reasons for the council's action. She
also announced that a committee had
been appointed to decide whether any
change in social regulations would be
necessary since the show privilege has
been abolished.
A Woman's association meeting for
action and discussion will be called
the first part of next week.
The council has been criticized on
these points : First, that it did not
have the right to remove the privilege
without a student vote; second, that
it is punishing the majority because
a few are abusing the privilege ; and
third, that, coeds ought to be allowed
to stay but later on Friday nights
anyway.
Answering these charges, Jane said,
"The privilege was created by the
honor council both the original
privilege of attending midnight shows
on dance nights, and the blanket late
show privilege granted last spring,
In both cases the provision was made J
that its misuse would result in its re
call. The coeds have been reminded of
this .regulation regularly in house
meetings. . ' "
"Recent council cases have made it
evident that the privilege -has been
subject to widespread abuse. There-

Harward Nominated
As Junior Member
Of PU Board
By Paul Komisarnk
The University party yesterday
took, its first move in publications
politics by endorsing Henry Moll for
editor of the Carolina Mag and nam
ing Bucky Harward for junior repre
sentative to the Publications Union
board.
: Moll's endorsement by the UP be
comes the first double nomination of
the current year and practically winds
up his political worries for the rest of
the spring melee.
Has Staff Nomination
Over a week ago he won the staff
nomination by a good majority and
then was na,med by the Student party
last Thursday. James Cox, only otherl
eligible competitor for the ( editorship
has not yet indicated whether or not
he will oppose Moll on April 22.
Moll, now art editor of the Mag, has
specialized for the past' three years in
cartoons for the Tar Heel, the' de
ceased Buccaneer and Tar an' Feath
ers. The first of his short stories was
published last Friday in the March
issue of the Mag and another will ap
pear in the April copy.
He learned technique in layout and
illustrating by working in the New
York studios of Paramount. Although
his home is in Puerto Rico, Moll has
lived in Chapel Hill for the past three
years.

and who lives in Ruffin dormitory, has

Hold Discussion
On Censorship
An informal round table debate on
the question "Resolved, that the civil
liberties (press and speech) should be
curtailed during times of crisis and
emergency," was held last night be
tween debate teams from New York
university and Carolina.
John Ball and Seymour Milstein,
representing NYU, upheld the nega
tive of the question in the discussion
which was carried on as a round-
table, rather than as a formal debate.
They argued that since existing
laws already take care of groups and
individuals that propose to overthrow.
the government, there is no need for
further curtailment of the civil liber
ties of 130 million Americans.
Elsie Lyon and Ed Maner, repre
senting Carolina, argued that foreign
groups operating in the United States
are a direct threat to our government
and should be more thoroughly cen
sored than they are at present;
Pete Burkheimer acted as chairman
for the discussion. The next "debate to
be sponsored by the Debate council
will be held tomorrow night between

Speaking of the implication con
cerning Hoey, he said "I know sev

strain myself with the observation
that it is not history." ''
Defends Party
Maxwell also went to great lengths
to defend the party against use of
the word "conservatism" in describ
ing the recent administrations. v
His second major protest was
against a paragraph in the profes
sors' book describing North Carolina!

Junior-Senior
Set To Feature
Pastor Band
Scheduled For
Final Dances
Tony Pastor and his orchestra hare
been signed for the annual set of Junior-Senior
dances on May 16 and 17,

will play for Finals on June 6 and 7,
it was announced yesterday by Herb
Hardy, president of the senior class,
and Tom Wright, dance chairman of
the German club.' Both bands will be
making their first appearance on the
Carolina campus.
Thus far this year Pastor and his
band have been billed as the outstand
ing musical organization of 1941. The
band just recently completed record
breaking successes at New York's
Lincoln hotel and Paramount theater.
They are currently on tour, and Caro
lina will be one of several college
campuses where the band will play.
Featured with the Pastor band is
Tony himself on the saxophone and
vocals; Dorsey Anderson and Johnny
McAfee, who both feature as vocal
ists, and Johnny Morris, who is con
sidered one of the best drummers in
the business today.
Hardy Recommends
Hardy announced that the Junior-
oenior aanee committee naa oeen
working for the past three months to
secure a band that would meet with
the approval of the student body.
"Pastor's orchestra was highly recom
mended to us, and we feel we have
made a good selection," Hardy stated.
Pastor's band will open the Junior
Senior set with arconcert- on Friday
afternoon in 'Memorial hall.' There
will be two tea dances, and two night
dances to complete the set.
Jimmy Dorsey 's orchestra is cur
rently appearing at the Hotel Penn
sylvania in New York City. His band
came to the front in 1940, and was se
lected as one of the five outstanding
recording bands in the country. At
present his Hotel Pennsylvania ap
pearance is breaking the all-time
record set there last year by Glenn
Miller.
