UVA President in Grail, Is Regional By Chuck Hauser Johnny Clampitt, veteran hand at the student govern ment game, has received the University party nomination for vice-president of the stu dent body, it was disclosed j yesterday by UP spokesmen With qualifications - ranging i from experience on the Student Legislature to dozens of positions on unpublicized branches of stu dent government and campus or- i ganizations, the Saint Petersburg, i Florida, senior is the third candi-! date to be nominated , to run for i a major campus . office in the ! spring general elections. The heavy-set, light-haired nominee is the present president of the University Veterans asso ciation, members of the Coalition council, treasurer of the Grail, and regional treasurer of the Na tional Students association. Previous Orientation chairman, Dance committee member, and chairman of the Legislature Elections and Fact-finding com mittees, Clampitt was planning to graduate this June with an A.B. degree in journalism, but is con tinuing at the University for an other year to receive his degree in English.

Speaker-pro-tem John Giles charged that UMT was another factor in the "balance of power theory which has led to the de struction of every nation that has attempted to use it." Assert ing that the present condition of England was due to an attempt to rule by military power, Giles stated that he opposed the adop tion of UMT until certain fac tors, such as the present "battle of Germany", were decided. In an effort to push the bill through, members of the assemb ly argued that world peace could be achieved only through the use of the Marshall plan backed by a strong fighting force. Pointing out the fact that strong nation discourages aggres sion. Rep. Peter Gerns asserted that Japan probably would not have attacked the United Stales if UMT had been a standard poli cy in this country before Pearl Harbor. Citing the results of a recent Gallup poll which shows' that (jfj per cent of the American peop le favor UMT Rep. Bob Coulter asserted that the United States must support universal military training and the Marshall plan until Russia adopts a more co operative policy in the United Nations organization. Attacks by the opposition bloc on the training, discipline, and courts martial system of the army were answered by debators who maintained that through the ex perimental group (UMTee) at Fort Knox, Kentucky, the army had succeeded in removing many of the objectional factors to army life, and now provides for the moral and religious education of trainees.

The members of the commit tee, Coline Smith, Allen Moore, Pete Moore, and Charlie Long have scheduled the meet for Tuesday night at 7:30. It will be held in the Di senate hall on the third floor of New West. Subjects set for discussion at this first meeting include the drafting of a statement of policy, election of officers, and the ap pointment of committees. "We feel," the organizing group stated yesterday, "that the time has come for Republicans in the South and especially at this university to organize and provide the machinery necessary if we are to further the aims of the party and make them known to the people of the state." The committee said that the Carolina chapter will work with the one at Duke, which has been functioning for more than a year, and will enjoy the full co-operation of the state Republican or ganization. Their eventual goal, as outlined yesterday, is a state wide network of college chapters of the organization.

The constitutional amendment will probably touch off a barrage of pro and con fire, since it con terns the touchy subject of switching the powers of the Stu dent, Men's and Women's Honor councils. Division of Powers In one article and five sections, it proposes: "1. The Student council shall have jurisdiction in all cases involving violations of the honor code, the campus law. and in all cases involving ques tions of constitutionality; 2. The Men's council shall have juris diction in all cases of violation of the campus code involving male students; 3.- The ' Women's council shall have jurisdiction in all cases of violation of the cam pus code involving women students. "4. The Student Legislature shall have authority to create machinery for the speedy deter mination of questions of juris diction privided that it shall not infringe in the exercise of such authority on the rights of the judicial bodies; 5. All provisions of this constitution not nullified by this amendment shall remain in full force." Agenda Order The 10 bills will probably come to the floor in the following or der: 1. Bill to establish a fund for the purpose of financing class activities; 2. Bill providing for the University's joining the Regional National Student as sociation; 3. Bill to establish a speaker's . fund of $600 and to cancel future appropriations to the IRC, the CPU, CCUN, Di and Phi. 4. Bill to protest against horn blowing in dormitory areas; 5. Bill to adopt an official oath for new members of the Student Legislature; 6. Bill to establish standard travel procedure for students at the . University; 7.

So spoke the harried chairman of the Carolina Political union yesterday after hi amasedly read the following headline story in yesterday's Daily Tar Heel: "Close on the heels of the announcement that Carroll Reece. . .would be unable lo speak. Chairman Bill Kemp, Socialist parly head, has staled that he will definilery speak Tuesday evening, Feb ruary 10. . .against Universal Military Training." End quote! Kerrjp didn't know how the story got twisted, and ventured that Norman Thomas, real Socialist party chief might not be too happy over his DTH made successor. But he said Thomas, not Kemp, would definitely make the speech. "And by Ihe way, what was that other DTH headline about "First Campus Clothing Todsy," Kemp bewilderedly questioned. mmb liw:: si U a A a record number of concerts are to be given this spring.
