Bill Crisp, one of three University delegates to the Inter
collegiate Conference on the United Nations held in Chicago
March 24-26, reported on the actions of the mock assembly
to the last "lameduck" session of the Student Legislature
last night.
Sponsored by the University '
of Chicago, the conference was
attended by delegates from 51
colleges, each representing a
member of the UN. The Univer
sity delegation, John Stump, Ann
Wells, and Crisp represented
New Zealand.
Reporting on the assembly,
which he presided over as pres
ident, Crisp said that the mock
collegiate assembly 'was "uncan
nily realistic." The delegates
gained an impression of the ob
stacles confronting the UN and
the conflicts which come before
the General Assembly daily, he
asserted.
Russian Columbia
Crisp said that the actions of
the Columbia university delega
tion, which represented the Sov
iet Union, greatly added to the
realistic effect of the conference.
The "Soviet" delegation quickly
organized the delegations repre
senting the Slavic countries and
presented an united bloc on all
the issues that came before the
assembly.
Reporting on the actions of the
conference, Crisp explained that
the work was accomplished in
three main committees. The issue
of race relations came before the
Human Rights committee in the
form of a proposal that the "U
N" look into the racial issue in
the United States.
Objection Over-Ruled
Crisp, as president of the as
sembly, objected to the proposal
on the grounds that the problem
was not within their jurisdiction.
Over-ruling his objections, Crisp
said, the commif.ee reported out
a favorable bill recommending
that the UN recommend Tru
man's Civil Rights program to
the United States.
Official representatives of va
rious organizations also appeared
before the assembly, Crisp re
ported. He also stated that Wal
lacites and Communist mem
bers picketed the mock UN as
sembly for two days.
Only definite action taken by
the Legislature last night was
the passage of a bill to present
Speaker Jack Folger with a key
for his services as presiding of
ficer during the past year.

Melton Protests DTHE ditorship Election;
Charges Expense Account Filed Incomplete
An 800-word protest filed by Art Melton, defeated inde
pendent candidate for the editorship of the Daily Tar Heel,
has been reviewed by the Elections board. The protest con
cerns the election of Ed Joyner to the position.
Melton protested the election
on thp erounds that a classified
ad which appeared in the DTH
on the day of the general elec
tion, and signed by Bob Gold
water and Billy Carmichael III,
had not been included in Joy
ner's expense account as cam
paign publicity.
Al Winn, chairman of the Elec
tions board, said that the case
will come up before the Student
council at its next session. Winn
said Melton's statement was re
viewed by the board and the re
port which will be submitted to
the council will be unfavorable
to the protest.
Scotty Venable, attorney gen
eral for student government, will
be present at the council session.
Melton lodged his protest on
the grounds 'that the ad carried
the words, "Vote for Ed Joy
ner," and should therefore be
submitted as an expense;

laws if there is any doubt con
cerning a candidate's expense,
he must submit it -to the Elections
board for judgment. Melton
claims this was not complied
with.
2. Melton brough out that the

group has done jointly on cam

of the order.
A little younger .than the
twentieth century itself, the
Fleece was founded by Dr. Henry
Horace Williams,' Carolina's
famous philosopher-scholar, in
1903 with the initiation of eight
students, including Phillips
Russell, now a member of the
English department.
The Fleece was founded to
satisfy a definite campus need,
according to Dr. Williams. In an
editorial in the Daily Tar Heel

The legislature was begun in

During the 1945 meeting the
decision was made to admit re
presentatives the following year'

Cancer Society Is Now Staging
Drive on Campus to Raise Funds
The American Cancer society is staging a drive this week
at the University to solicite funds to be used by the society
to combat the cancer menace. According to the society,
188,000 Americans, or one every three minutes, will die of
cancer this year. Cancer strikes,
oh the average, one out of every
two homes.
Johnny Clampitt, chairman of
the student drive, said yesterday
that he is contacting the dormi
tory presidents to ask that they
help collect money for this cause.
"I hope that each dormitory
president will appoint a man on
each floor to make the rounds to
get any amount the students feel
they can give. The dorm presi
dents that I have already con
tacted have been very coopera
tive," Clampitt said.
In the fraternities each presi
dent is urged to ask one of the
members to take charge of the
collections. . Any contributions
made are to be turned over to
Mr. Roy Armstrong on the sec
ond floor of South building or
to Johnny Clampitt at the Alpha
Tau Omega house.
The A.C.S. reports .that the
price of cancer to this nation runs
as high as $2,000,000,000 a year.
Cancer's toll means a cost of $14
for every man, woman, and child
in the United States.
An annual expenditure of 18
cents per person for research,
clinics, detection centers, public
education, and services to those
afflicted with cancer is made. Dur
ing World War II, which cost
each American $640 a year, can
cer killed more than twice as
many Americans as were killed
in combat, according to the A-C.S.
Sit Side by Side
cessive years the DTH as well as
the campus at large made a sport
of predicting the Fleece initiates
along with the football scores.
In recent years it has become
customary to honor sincere, prom
inent faculty members with mem
bership, one professor usually is
tapped along with each crop of
students.
Prior to the actual tapping
Monday evening, Dr. U. T. Hol
mes of the English department
will read the myth of Jason and
his search for the golden fleece,
symbolizing moral achievement.
After the tapping, the Valkyries,
coed honorary society, will pres
ent its annual Sing with frater
nities, sororities, and dormitories
competing for two loving 'cups.

Conservation, Wildlife Expert Will Lecture
Before Last of Series Offered by Bird Club
Alexander Sprunt, Jr., conservation and wildlife authority,
will speak at the last in the series of nature movie-lectures
Sponsored jointly by the Chapel HilJ Bird club and the Na
tional Audubon society, to be held in the Pick theater to
night at 8 o'clock.
"Our Living Earth," a color
film designed to show the mean
ing and importance of conserva
tion, also will be shown.
Sprunt, a native of Charles
ton, S. C. and a graduate of Da
vidson college, has long been ac
tive with the Audubon society.
For many years he supervised
the work of Audubon wardens
in the society's tremendous sanc
tuary areas. Vast colonies of
birds, among them the most
beautiful and spectacular in this
country, egrets, spoonbills, cranes
and herons of many kinds, have
been saved from complete ex
tinction by the protection the
sanctuaries afford.
Currently Sprunt is at work
preparing a book on the birds oi
South Carolina. He was awarded
a Guggenheim grant to nable
him to prepare the book. A col
lection of his scientific articles
and stories of the out-of-doors
has been published under the
title "Dwellers of the Silences."
Coed Officers
Are Installed .
By Candlelight
"Each coed officer, because she
is looked to for leadership by
fellow coeds has an obligation
to fulfill not only the duties of
her office but to set an example
in personal conduct," said Miss
Twig Branch in her charge to
new officers at the candlelight in
stallation ceremony at the Pres
byterian church Wednesday night;
Miss Branch pointed out further
that each girl has an obligation
to all other coed organizations as
well as her own, because one can
not function without the coopera
tion of all.
Donleen McDonald presided at
the candlelight ceremony, which
saw some 70 coeds installed as
campus leaders.
Retiring president of the var
ious coed associations lighted the
candle of the incoming president
who in turn lighted the candles
of the other officers. Following
the candlelighting the old presi
dent gave the oath of office to the
incoming officers.
Among those installed were
new leaders in the WAA, Legis
lature, Coed Senate, YWCA, Wo
mens Honor Council, and Inter-
dorm Council.
Teenie Royall, chairman of the
program committee said yester
day that the joint installation
would become an annual affair
with the purpose of helping coeds
realize their position as campui
leaders rather than merely heads
of single groups.

of the many different forces
which make the land into a liv
ing, productive organism. High
lights are the erosive effect of a
single rain drop, shown in slow
motion, time lapse studies of the
unfolding of flowers, and the pro
