AVC Disowns Principles
Of Fascist, Red Parties
Local Chapter Votes Not to Accept Men
Who Are Members of Communist Movements
In a lengthy special session Tuesday night, 65 members of the
local AVC chapter reconsidered and passed the AVC National
Planning Committee's resolutions disowning the principles of,
and membership in fascist organzations, and the Communist
Party.
The main objection to the resolu--
tion condemning Communism as sent
down from New York as given by
several AVC members was that it
contained too much superfluous and
contradictory material. They added
that they agreed with the principle of
the resolution, but would rather ap-
j prove of one drawn up in a
'more
riogicai manner." After much debate

resolution was

up stating srnply that as the aims

Fiery Feud Forms over Unposed Photograph

By Jo Pugh
Whether "it" was a ground
puppy, a surface minnow, Harry
S. Truman, or "dat little colored
man dat don't wear nuttin' but
hippings" is the subject of a cur-
rent debate in the University s
journalism department. "It" was the
result of a picture shot by one of
Sechriest's news photography stu

O. J. Coffin, department head, for the
rookie photographers in his class who
were attempting to make their final
picture of the term, the results insti
gated a feud.
Unprepared for Shot
Skipper, as Professor Coffin is
known to his many students, posed un

the professor to be patient, John Mill

the big shot. But when the flash bulb
finally exploded, Skipper was unpre

Nearly 1500 students signed the ticket list in Gerrard hall yes
terday to indicate their intentions of watching the Carolina Tar

would like to buy more than one du
cat. However, the distribtuion commit
tee composed . of Dewey Dorsett,
Charles Warren, Johnny Jones, Ray
Jeffries, Pete Pully, and Fran Golden
will meet today to devise a fair
method of distribution. The commit
tee will announce its decision in to
morrow's issue of the Daily Tar Heel.

According to information received
from Dorsett there is a chance that
more tickets will be allotted to the
University. In that, event the addi
tional assignment will be divided
equally between students and alumni,
as was the first allocation of 3500.
Assistant Director of Athletics, C.
P. Erickson left for New Orleans last
night to. make arrangements there for
the football squad. Armed with the
1500 name Gerrard lists to prove the
heavy student demand for tickets here
he will ask the Sugar Bowl commis.
sion for more tickets for the Univer

Auto Lists
Lists are still posted in the YMCA
information office today for registra
tion of students who are driving cars
to the game, and have, fooni for, pas

names at the Y.
If enough interest is shown, special
busses will be chartered for the New
Orleans trip. A check with- the
Greensboro office, of the Southern rail
road got information that because of
the coal strike no special trains can
