David Clark, Charlotte pub lisher and co-chairman of the North Carolina State's Rights Democrats, said it is "absolutely silly' to believe that Southern ers will return to the Democrat ic party fold. In a statement issued at party headqquarters here, he added: So vicious and so insulting have been the attacks upon the State's Rights Democrats by of ficeholders and certain news papers including that of Jona than Daniels, who aspired to Tru man's cabinet that a call has been issued for a Southwide con ference at Memphis, at which consideration is to be given to establishing the State's Rights Democrats as a permanent party."

He was a wartime aide to President Roose velt and has served as an unof ficial advisor on Mr. Truman's re cent campaign trips.

Stacy Freshmen Square Off For Political Shenanigans By Jim Dickinson Up-and-coming freshmen of Stacy dormitory brought their know-how in politics along with them when they entered the Uni versity this fall. With the quarter hardly begun the first-year Stacyites have al ready squared off against each other in one of the rip-roaringest political campaigns that ever whirlwinded its way across cam pus. The issue at hand is the election of dorm officers being held dur ing the first three days of this week. Every conceivable vote hiding stone having been upturn ed,, the men of Stacy are anxious ly awaiting the results of today's balloting. This souped-up political festiv ity got underway a couple weeks Almost immediately politics hit fever pitch in Stacy and has gain ed momentum every day since. Night and day each candidate at Stacy has left no job undone in letting his fellow dorm members know that he is just the man that the affairs of Stacy needs for a productive year to come. Holiest race over at Stacy is naturally the office of presidency, which office boasts a half-dozen workmanlike aspirants in Rod Nicol, Bobby Shuman, Charles Wolff, George Blackwelder, Buck Small and John Smitherman.

All veterans are invited to come and bring guests. Things got off to a good start when the Stacyites awoke one morning to find tied to every door a shipping tag with a penny sucker attached. The inscription read, "Don't be a sucker vote for Rod Nicol." The other candidates asked themselves en masse, "Who is dis guy Nicol to try and make monkeys out of us." Before night fall political fever had spread like wildfire. Every man in Stacy knew full well it would be nip-and-tuck right down to the finish line. The trio of Wolff for president, Cuthberson for vice-president and Wilson for secretary-treasurer wasted no time in organizing their S.O.T. (Stacy On Top) party, the main plank of their platform being the insurance of "laundry pickups at a more convenient hour."
