Three Juniors

Peete, Tillett,
Thorp Eligible
The Yackety Yack, last campus pub
lication to toss its hat into the politi
cal ring; will meet today at li30 in
the YY office to select the staff nom
inee for editor of next year's annual.
The usual undercurrent of politi
cal pressure among staff members is
lacking as Charlie Tillett, editorial
editor, John Thorp, engraving edi
tor, and Billy Peete, divisional editor,
arise as logical candidates for the
staff nomination. All three candi
dates are juniors and have been out
standing staff members for three
years. .
Beginning work on the Yackety
Yack as a freshman, Tillett was pro
moted to editor of the senior section
of the annual his sophomore year, and
has since become editorial director.
In addition to his YY work, Tillett is
treasurer of the CPU.
John Thorp, who is from Fries, Vir
ginia and a member of Zeta Psi, also
began work on the annual as a fresh
man, later becoming' editor of the extra-curricular
section. At present he
is engraving editor. Thorp is vice
president of his fraternity, and has
recently been appointed junior mem
ber of the- interfraternity council.

Snyder To Run
For PU Board
On UP Ticket
By Bucky Harward
The University party last night
threw its unanimous support to Louis
Harris, staff nominee for the editor
ship of the Daily Tab Heel, . and
named Ben Snyder for representative-at-large
to the Publications Union
board. ,
Only a few minutes after the Stu
dent party adjourned from nominating
Orville Campbell for editor, the UP by
acclamation named Harris as its can
didate. This throws Harris for the second
time in a race with Campbell, from
whom he won the staff nomination
last Tuesday by a vote of 20 to 11.
Harris, a junior, has worked for the
past three years on the Tar Heel
staff. A reporter on the news staff his
freshman and sophomore years, he
switched last spring to the editorial
board and since has written daily
editorials and his column, "Lend an
Ear."
For the past year, Harris has also
been on the editorial staff of the
Carolina Mag to which he has con
tributed five articles. Adrian Spies,
who resigned his editorship for a
northern newspaper job, appointed
him editor of this month's issue which
comes out April 22.
Other writing experience includes
four years of professional reporting
on the New Haven Register and
technical work for King Features
syndicate.

Fish Worley, director of Graham

be used for showing films at the stu

general campus use.
Graham Memorial has a number of
vocational films that may be used, by
any campus organization. A port
able screen goes with the compact
projector which is packed in two read
ily portable carying cases. Worley
said that an operator will be furnish

Honor Council
To Investigate
Coed Elections
Twenty Illegal
Ballots Found
After Election
Following a stormy session involv
ing the honor council's recommenda
tion on alleged inefficiency in the coed
elections Tuesday, the Woman's asso
ciation voted to accept the decision to
hold reelections for the YWCA presi
dency and the president of the Wom
an's Athletic association only after
further investigation by the council.
Jane McMaster, president ' of the
Woman's association, announced yes
terday that 274 votes were cast for the
presidency of the association and May
Queen but only 254 names were
marked off in the student directory
used to check voters at the poll.
In 'the YWCA presidential election
it was found that a number of coeds
voted who were not members of that
organization.
The honor council, in an investiga
tion of the election, accounted for 16
of the unlisted voters and recom
mended to the coeds that there be
new elections for the Woman's Ath
letic association and YWCA.
After heated debate, the coeds re
fused to accept this recommendation
of the Honor council, but to abide by
its decision after complete investiga
tion. Letters From Candidates
Letters from Jean Hahn and Mary
Caldwell, rival candidates for the j
presidency of the Woman's association
in the recent election, were read indi- J
eating that Miss Caldwell desired a
new election, while Miss Hahn wished
to accept the result cd Tuesday's elec
tion in which she was defeated.

Not Marrying
To Dodge Draft
Presenting facts that she had culled

terday, "it appears young people are
not marrying hastily to avoid the

"There was a great increase in

then," she said at today's session of
the seventh annual Conference on
Conservation of Marriage and the
Family being held at the University

"Naturally the draft is speeding up

Proposal Would Block

By Paul Komisaruk
Proposals completely reorganizing: the disposition of apj ;u J
mately $55,000annually in student fees were received by the 'rays
and means committee of the student legislature last night ar i will
be introduced on the legislative floor Monday night, it was learned
yesterday.
"Drafted by a special nine-man student committee after more
than two weeks study, the recommendations would block funds
paid by students into one lump sum to be placed under complete administra
tion of the student legislature.
All previous student activity fees, most of which have been unchanged for
many years and have been automatically collected and disposed of by the
University administration, would be abolished with the exception of the ath-

letic fee, which was not included
in
revision plans.
Any campus organization, including
those at present not receiving revenue
from student fees, would be entitled
to appear before the legislature and
submit requests for appropriations.
The legislature would act on annual
budgets of each fee-spending organ
ization and also would be empowered
to make special dispositions during the
year.
A special appropriations committee
of the legislature would be s :t up to
allot and administer the funds, sub
ject to the approval of the entire body.
The committee would be composed of
a chairman elected by the legislature,
the speaker of the legislature as an
ex-ofiicio member, and five members
appointed by the speaker.
Purpose of the proposals, according
to Bill Allen who served as chairman
of the special committee, is to relieve
the administrat'on from handling the
funds and to advance the sope of stu
dent government, as well as provide
more efficient and flexible allocation of
funds on. the basis of current -needV-
and conditions.
Before being installed, the plan
will have to be approved by the stu
dent legislature Monday night and by
the campus at large in April 22 elec
tions. Then an OK from the Univer
sity business administration will be
required, and, finally, the trustees will
have to approve.
A salient feature of the plan is that
the legislature would absorb into its
general student activity fund any sur
pluses left at the end of the fiscal year
by any of the fee-spending organiza
tions. The legislature also would have
the right to take over any reserves
existing 'when the act goes' into effect,
if it thought the reserves unnecessary.

UNCGW Debaters
Argue Coalition
With Britain
In an informal round table discus
sion last night, the debaters from
George Washington and Carolina ar
gued the question of a union between
the United States and the British
Commonwealth of Nations.
Presided over by Professor Edward.
A. Ross, the question, "Resolved, that
this house look with favor on' an
eventual union of the United States
and the British Commonwealth of
Nations," was defended by Carolina
and opposed by George Washington.
Dewey Dorsett, opening speaker for
the affirmative, contended that since
the United States has already aligned
herself with Great Britain in this war,
she would avoid the mistakes of 1918
and 1919 by uniting with England.
Edward Butler, opening speaker
for George Washington, maintained
that the commercial and geographical
interests of the United States and
Great Britain were not parallel, and
such a union would bring only disad
vantages to the United States.
Elsie Lyon, concluding speaker for
Carolina, stressed that such a union,
along the lines of the present British
Commonwealth, would enable the
United States to bring more effective
pressure on England than she is able
to do at present.
Edgar Baker, last speaker for
George Washington, stated "The only
parallel interests of the United States
and Great Britain are in" maintaining
peace because they are the great 'have
nations'." He stressed that history
showed the conflicting interests of the
two nations.
