The custom, begun last year, is de
signed, Interdorm and Interfrat of
ficials assert, to promote closer rela
tions between fraternity and non-fraternity
men.
The twelve fraternities and dormitor
ies that they will entertain are: Phi
Delta Theta, Lewis dorm; Alpha Tau
Omega, Stacy dorm; Delta Kappa Ep
silon, Alexander dorm; Kappa Sigma',
Mangum dorm; Chi Phi; Graham dorm;
Lambda Chi, Manly dorm; Sigma Chi,
Aycock dorm; Sigma Nu, Ruff in dorm;
Zeta Psi, Steele dorm ; and Phi Gamma
Delta, Grimes dorm. Sigma Alpha Ep
silon and Pi Kappa Alpha, will jointly
entertain Everett dormitory at both
chapter houses because of the large
crowd occasioned by the dorm house
party of that residence.
Old East, Old West and Battle,
Vance, Pettigrew dorms have been in
vited by each of the twelve fraternities
because of the large percentage of fra
ternity men that they house.
Urging all dormitory men to bring
dates for the informal affairs, Idol
specifically requested the non-f rat men
to visit the houses to which they were
invited before attending functions at
other houses. Dorm presidents will
canvass respective residences to esti
mate the number of men and dates
planning to attend.

early opening of political activity
on the campus, the Daily Tar Heel
requests the cooperation of party
leaders and nominees in regard to
the following rules concerning re
lease of political news: .

Dance Committee
To Meet Tonight
There will be a meeting of the Jun
ior-Senior dance committee at 8:30 in
the YMCA Country Club room to
night.
In a desperate attempt to have the
1941-42 sophomore budget approved,
a novel plan instituted by class presi
dent Dotson Palmer goes into effect
today.
.. A mimeographed copy of the new
budget now thoroughly antiquated has
been given to members of the sopho
more executive committee in all dorms
and fraternities who will take the copy
around to each member of that dorm
or fraternity for approval.
The sophomores will either merely
sign their name as a token of approv
al or state any objections they may
have to the bill.
The plan went into effect yesterday
and will continue until 5 o'clock today
when all executive committee members
will turn in their sheets at Tempe
Newsome's office in the YMCA.
All sophomores living in town are
asked to leave their votes with Frank
Alspaugh in the YMCA sometime dur
ing the day if they have not already
signed one of the budget sheets.
Palmer urged that "the class coop
erate in' this matter and approve the
budget now so that plans for sopho
more activities in this quarter and
next quarter will not be delayed any
longer."
Members of the class honor council
are asked.to meet this afternoon in the
YMCA at 5 o'clock in order to count
the votes, Palmer requested.
At a meeting last night of the ex
ecutive committee. Wiley Jbong, a
member of the class dance committee,
was named as a sophomore legislator
to succeed Marshall Chambers.

For RunningMate

By Ernie Frankel
The University party sped-up
Carolina's election machinery last
night, nominating Frank Al
spaugh, student leader and mem
ber of the cheerleading squad, as
head cheerleader and George
Paine, basketball star, to run on
its slate for. the vice-presidency of the
Athletic association.
Named by the party steering com
mittee at a representative meeting last
night, Alspaugh, upsetting, pre-cam-
paign dope, , was aouDiy endorsed as
both campus groups came out with his
nomination. Unless an Independent
announces' for the job, the two-party
selection virtually assures Alspaugh's
election in the Spring.
Last Minute
The last-minute announcement of the
UP's choice was confirmed by party
leaders, but Alspaugh could not be
reached last night to find out whether
or not he would accept.

arbitrators on human relationships'
and that he felt there were "no abso

were filtered through other bodies.

talked about failure of democracy so
much,, that youth wonders if we have
ever had success." In his interpretation
of democracy Woodhouse stressed that
it was a "pooling of our wisdom to com
mon concern,
Regarding belief s of the rest of the
world he. said, "That's not our business.
Let dictatorship Russia and the South
American oligarchies alone as long as
they behave decently in the sosiety of
