Parker Judge Parker Establishes Annual Award Student Government Leader to Receive Gold Medal Prize Dean R. B. House announced yes terday that a gold medal award has been established by Judge and Mrs. John J. Parker of Charlotte to be awarded annually to the student who has demonstrated most clearly "unique leadership in student government." - This award was set up by Judge Parker, former graduate of the Uni versity and now Judge of the US Cir cuit . Court of Appeals, to perpetuate the honor system and student govern ment in memory of his son, John J. Parker, Jr., who led these organiza tions through the most troublesome period of their existence. During his presidency the Univer sity was faced with the gigantic prob lem of restoring the Honor System to some semblance of its former pres tige and Parker is remembered for his untiring effort along these lines. Inspired by his son's work, Judge Parker established this medal in the hope that student leaders would keep both organizations from falling into a state of chaos as in 1937. The medal will be awarded by a special ' committee appointed by Dr. Frank Graham.

Requiring a petition endorsed by ten per cent of the student body to start the wheels of action turning, opposi tion forces .have circulated petitions for several days. "Already from S00 to 400 signatures have been obtained, and all the petitions have not been turned in," Jick Garland declared last night. The petition carries two" sections: (1) that the emergency act of the Stu dent legislature curtailing dance ex penditures is not representative of stu dent opinion in either content or meth od; and (zj that full control over dances given by students or student organizations should be exercised by the students or organizations paying for the dance in concordance with Uni versity dance regulations. Campus to Vote s Constitutional methods set up by the legislature requires that the peti tion, when it has been signed by ten per cent of the student body, be pre sented to the student body president.
