Red Cross Authorities Set Quota at $6,000 For Local Drive Opening Here Next Friday The annual Red Cross Fund Drive for the University com munity, including both Chapel Hill and Carrboro, has been sche duled for March 1-8, it was an nounced yesterday by chairman R. M. Grumman, and the local quota has been set for $6,000. This will be divided half and half between the local and na tional chapters, it was saidLast year, when the war was still on, the local took only one-third and the national received two-thirds. Quota Modest "We feel that our local quota is very modest," Mr. Grumman commented today. "The end of the war has added many duties to the Red Cross in addition to all its services on the home front. And its new battle is just be ginning for our men overseas, for our veterans in hospitals, for our veterans back home, and for the millions of victims of war." The 1945 quota here was $12,300, but the local drive soared far over the top with $15,821. This left, a surplus of approximately $3,000, which permitted the local chapter to reduce its 1946 quota to $6,000, and still keep its 1945 budget for local services the same as last year. Everybody Give "Our quota for this year is thus only half of last year," Mr. Grumman pointed out, "but this does not mean that we will go over the top again if everybody gives only half of what he gave during the war. "The local chapter lost two of its largest sources of revenue when the Pre-Flight School and the Munitions Plant here dis banded," he explained. "Chapel Hill has never failed to meet its quota, and then some," Mr. Grumman declared. "We know that everyone here will support the Red Cross again to his utmost so that it may con tinue to serve our men overseas, our hospitalized servicemen, our veterans, and our own people, adequately." Collections Started Although the actual campaign will not come until March 1-8, Mr. Grumman said, anyone who wishes to make his contribution beforehand may send it to Har vey Bennett, treasurer, or to the Bank of Chapel Hill. He also inyited anyone who wishes to volunteer his assist ance in the coming campaign to get in touch with the chairmen of the various divisions. These are Mrs. J. B. Linker, residential Rev. Kelly Barnett, business ; Walter Spearman, cam pus ; Dwight Ray, Carrboro ; Miss Lib Henderson, students; Floyd t). Turnage, rural, and Mrs. Hu bert Robinson, colored.

Vote Declared Null And Void By Legislature Wallace Initiates Election Motion The student legislature last night voted to declare the elec tion of Bob Stockton as secretary-treasurer of the student body null and void. The motion as amended by Jimmie Wallace who introduced it last week calls for another election in the near future. Assuming the floor when old business was called for, due to the fact that he had held the floor when last week's meeting was adjourned for lack of a quorum, Wallace stated that he originally made the motion "to see the re action of the legislature." He further stated that it was the duty of the legislature to pass intelligent laws and to see that they were enforced. Wallace charged that there was no mass meeting of the can didates and their publicity man agers with the election board be fore the election; that no stu dent council representative sat with the elections committee; that there was electioneering within fifty feet of the polls ; and that the students in the infirmary did not have a chance to vote. Chairman of the elections committee, Walt Brinkley, ad mitted; not having carried out some of the provisions of the elections bill but stated that the infirmary students would have had an opportunity to vote if they had requested it. Jack Lackey warned the legis lature that it already had made itself look foolish enough with out invalidating an election on such minor grounds. His motion to table Wallace's bill lost by a vote of 16 to 10. After some discussion during which Jack Hester spoke in favor of the bill and Wally Murchison spoke against it, the bill was car ried by a vote of 26 to 8.
