Byrnes, Truman,
Taft Discussed
By YWCA Group
Jimmy Byrnes, Harry Truman
and Robert Taft were discussed
as possible presidential candi
dates by the YWCA Public Af
fairs committee at its meeting
Monday.
In discussing ( Jimmy Byrnes,
Anne Wells spoke of his family
background, his political career,
and the possibility of his becom
ing the next president of the
United States.
She told the group that he was
not being considered as a candi
date, but that he would be cap
able of the job. His age, his one
time affiliation with the Catholic
church, and his birthplace were
the three main barriers between
Byrnes and the White House the
speaker pointed out. She also con
sidered Byrnes disappointment
in not getting the nomination for
vice-president in 1944 as a reason
why he would not accept the
nomination were he offered it.
She concluded that there was
no doubt of Byrnes capability in
view of the fact that he had 38
years of experience behind him,
but that she did not think he
would be seriously considered for
the Democratic nominee for
president.
A discussion of Truman was
next on the agenda. Jean Mc
Keithen considered all phases of
his political, civilian, and military
life. She enumerated Truman's
many vocations before he stepped
into the White House. And she
pointed out that the now famous
Truman committee was directly
connected with his nomination to
the vice-presidency in 1944.
In discussing Truman's career,
Jean considered his choice of
cabinet members and his infla
tionary tendencies. Truman hopes
to adopt a middle road, she con
tinued, between the Republican
Taft and the third party man,
Wallace. She also mentioned his
tendency to change his mind on
many matters, but she thought
this showed that he was thinking
through things. However sne ma

Last Legislature
To Decide Fate of
By Herb Nachman
Tonight the Student Legislature will go into its last reg
ular session of the spring quarter with the problem of solving
the current $4,667.85 budget deficit still on its hands.
Tuesday, the Finance commit -
tee under Jack Girard announc
ed that a cut of $3,197 is neces
sary if student activities are "to
be able to operate on a sound
financial basis."
The Montague bill, which pro
vided for the Finance committee
to decide on necessary action to
relieve the deficit, was introduced
at last Thursday's meeting and
will be re-introduced tonight a
long with the amendments which
came out of the committee.
Cuts Provided For
If the bill passes the Legislature
tonight, the following cuts will
go into effect: Publications, $3,-
000; Carolina Quarterly, $2,000
(their total appropriation); class
organizations, $500; Men's Coun
cil, $375; student entertainment,
$250; and Student Legislature,
$72.
The original bill, introduced
last week by Tag Montague,
speaker pro tern of the Legisla
ture, provided that the Finance
committee recommend such leg
islation deemed necessary by the
group to relieve the deficit. A
provision of the bill however,
was that in the event that the
necessary funds were obtained by
action of the Board of Trustees
that the bill would become in
valid. Montague introduced hi.;
bill following the closed meeting
of the Legislature in which the
group killed the proposal that
would have raised the block fee
structure to cover the deficit.
Dcdmond Comments
Jess Dedmond, president of the
student body, commented yes
terday regarding action the Leg
islature may take on the bill. "I
do not expect to stand in the way
of the Legislature's decision on
the matter," he said.
Phi Gubernatorial
Hears No Vote Due
The Phi assembly met Tues
day night for a hot discussion of
gubernatorial candidates. How
ever, at 10 o'clock the meeting
was adjourned following a roll
call showing a lack of a quorum.
Gran Childress, a visitor to the
group, summed up the candidates
saying, "There is one man who
is a dreamer; one who is a ma

Graham Jones, in speaking for
Mayne Albright said, "We lag
behind in many things. Only the
naive would say fhat our state
has gone as far as it should. I
believe Albright has the qualifi-
cations necessary to lead our
state." Jones then reviewed his
(previous record, mentioning the
fact that Albright was an excell
