C, Stockton, Stewart Nominated For Secretary- Treasurer Post Hunt Resigns Chairmanship Of UCP Party Positions Filled At Party Caucus The United Carolina Party nominated Blount Stewart for secretary-treasurer of the stud ont body yesterday afternoon at a party caucus. The UCP had re- ceived a request from the Uni-J versity Party to double-endorse; Pat Kelly, student council mem ber now performing the duties of the office, but a motion to sup port Kelly died for lack of a se cond. ; Douglass Hunt, who has ser- veu as chairman ot trie party; handed in his resignation last week and was replaced yester day Jby Sara Tillett,- a junior from Charlotte. Lib Schofield, vice-chairman of the party, pre sided over the session. Three vacancies on the execu tive council were filled by the election of Bill Jernigan, Donald Shropshire and Lorena Dawson. Miss Dawson was elected secre tary of the party. The other members of the executive coun- cil are Miss Schofield, Pete Pul ley, Walt Brinkley, Jimmy Wal lace, Art Adams and Al Lowen stein. Heated Discussion Hunt launched a heated argu ment which took up most of the session when he "moved that the discussion of A. B. Smith's eli gibility be made a special order. It was argued that Smith had broken the party's principles by engaging in a political deal and employing foul election practices in the last general election, when Bill Walker, nominated by Smith and Roy Thompson, received more votes for the presidency of the student body than did Brink ley, nominated by the UCP. Hunt moved that Smith "be expelled from the party, but the motion was tabled. Hunt later repeated his motion, but the party adjourned without passing the measure.

Sociology Major Becomes Old Miser For Two Nights By Elaine Patton It is hard to imagine Andy Griff eth, tall, curly headed blonde, as an old miser but that is what we will see Friday and Saturday when he plays the part of Gaspard in the "Chimes of Normandy" ; and no one who saw him play the part of the Grand inquisitor in "Gondoliers" last year doubts his ability to give an excellent portrayal. Although he is majoring in sociology, Andy's chief talent lies in music; and in his home town of Mount Airy, he . played var ious instruments including -bass horn and bass drum for the Mo ravian Church Band. Since he has been at Carolina he has sung in the Methodist Church choir and the First Presbyterian Church in Durham, as well as the Duke-chapel choir.

He ,is fond of movies, football and colorful novels. He detests dry text books but finds history or books with historical settings and Greek very interesting. He is fond of animals, but his favor ite animals are "Carolina Dolls" (Yep, all men are alike ! regard less of talent!) Although we think his ami ability and the ease with which he makes friends indicate suc cess in the field of sociology, when we see him transform himself from an interesting and active student to a wizened, neurotic old miser in "Chimes of Norman dy," we feel confident that he might be quite successful in the field of drama. 66i Veteran Gets Full Support Of UP Party Mallard Resignation Causes New Election The University Party has an nounced the nomination of Bob Stockton for the office of secretary-treasurer of the student body in next Tuesday's election.

La Sociedad Espanola will meet tonight at 7:30 o'clock in Roland Parker Lounge. UCP Boss Quits Sound and Fury Show Building Plans' NUMBER 3 Dr. Graham Traces Origin Of Sciences President Speaks To Student Body By Mary Hill Gaston An audience almost entirely filling Memorial Hall yesterday morning heard Dr. Frank P. Graham, president of the Uni versity, trace the origin and in fluence of universities and scien tific mechanisms in great his toric transitions, from the inven tion of the compass to the advent of the atomic bomb. Dr. Graham's address was the feature of the first University a j t i i convocation to De neia nere in a number of years and marked a revival of the pre-war student faculty convocations. The meet ing was called at the joint re quest of Dr. O. K. Rice, presi dent of the Association of Caro lina Scientists, and Charlie Vance, president of the student body. Said President Graham, "Uni versities have been in the cen ter of every great transition from the Middle Ages to the coming new era, which is just around an obscure corner. So have scientific mechanisms been at work changing the structure of the world." Describes Changes He described the changes wrought on human life by the inventions of the compass and the power engine, terming the former the center of the Com mercial Revolution and the lat ter the pulsing heart of the In dustrial Revolution. Mankind, he said, has lacked the social in telligence to master these and subsequent great mechanisms and has used them not for peace, but for war. "Man doesn't have the social mastery and spiritual motiva tion necessary to control the in ventions of his mind, and he may be destroyed by such power as the atomic bomb if he doesn't gain these qualities," Dr. Gra ham warned. He said that Uni versities have given students only fragmentary views of them selves and their responsibilities, that they are a part of the social lag " dominantly scientific, re luctantly social-minded, apolo getically philosophical and spiritual-minded." Dr. Graham closed with the statement that America, the home of the modern revolution in science, stands at the cross roads of human destiny. "She has the power for self-destruction or for productive achieve ment, freedom and peace beyond all , dreams. America with her universities and mechanisms must not by her choice fail man kind in this tragic hour." IRC Contributes Books The International Relations Club today announced that it has given to the extension Li brary a collection of forty books dealing with international af fairs.
