Policy Dispute
Causes Break
In SP Ranks
Warriner Leads
Faction Walkout
Eight members of the Student
party, including three legislators,
bolted from the party ranks dur
ing a stormy meeting in Graham
Memorial yesterday afternoon.
Following the defeat of a motion
introduced by Nelson Taylor,
president of the Town 'Men's as
sociation, which would have
bound all SP members to support
party nominees "without reserva
tion", Dortch Warriner, attorney
general of the student body, an
nounced his withdrawal from the
party. Joining Warriner in the
walkout were Tom Kerr, Ed Best,
and Jim Southerland, all mem
bers of. the Student legislature.
Also included in the bolt were
Toby Selby, Bob Fentres, and
Banks Mebane.
Securing the floor early in the
meeting, Taylor introduced his
resolution and called for the ac
tive support by party members
of all candidates nominated by
the party. The majority of the
party members held out for in
dividual rights to support any
candidate.
On the defeat of the motion
by a 21-12 vote, Warriner stated
that he could no longer remain
in a party which refused to sup
port its candidates unanimously
and led the walkout of the eight
members.
Commenting on the rift, which
has occurred twice within the
last two months, SP Chairman
Gran Childress said, "The per
sons who bolted today bolted be
cause they believed every mem
ber of the party should support
every candidate without reserva
tion. We are happy about the
bolt because those of us who re
main in the party disagree with
their political philosophy. The
split has unified the Student party
and no longer will we be defeated
on the proverbial 'divide and
conquer' theory," he continued.
"If we do lose we will have
lost fighting for a political philo
sophy in which we believe, and
of which we are not ashamed,"
Childress added.
Speaking for the bolting fac
tion, Tom Kerr stated yesterday,
"The 'right wing' broke with the
SP because of a basic disagree
ment on political theory. We feel
that any man flying a party ban
ner must support the decisions of
the majority of the party or get
out," he said. "We asked this
of others when we were a majori
ty and now we have acted upon
it when we are not in the ma
jority." Walk-Out Ready
PARIS, Jan. 18 (UP)

In the first case, a

testified before the council that
he had become "rattled" on an
exam and had copied another
student's paper with the consent
of the other student. The other
student admitted that he had
given the aid.
Since either giving or receiving
aid on a test is a violation of the
Honor code, both students were
suspended. However, the fact that
both students reported themselves
ternity, was chosen queen of the
campus charity drive by dime
balloting in the Y lobby. Close

Drawing Classes
Set For Tonight
Evening classes for instruction
in drawing and sketching will bo
held tonight from 7 to 10 o'clock
in Person hall and will continue
through March 9, the apartment
announced yesterday.
John Allcott, Kenneth Ness,
John Rcmbcrt, and a new mem
ber of the faculty, Emma Lu Da

signer, will be the instructors.
There is no fee for instruction,
but there will be a $5.00 ice to
cover materials used, model fees,
and lab assistant fees. Single
classes will be 75 cents each.
Interested persons are asked to
register for instruction in Person
hall or call Miss Warren at 8801.
.Another student was reported
for looking on another student's
paper during a final exam in
Latin. When questioned by the
council, the student readily ad
rnitted getting information from
the other student's paper. The
person from whom the informa
tion had been taken had given
the studerft a chance to report
himself, and on his failure to do
so, had reported it to the council.
The guilty student was suspended
from school.
nounced by auctioneers Norman
Cordon and Earl Wynn were
Feme Hughes, a senior from
Rainelle, West Virginia, sponsor
ed by Pi Lambda Phi; and Betsy
Ross, freshman from Chapel Hill
sponsored by Sigma Alpha Epsi
lon. The four finalists and the other
"Miss Pay-Off" entries were all"
presented with bouquets or cor
sages through the courtesy of
Chapel Hill florists. The queen
also received a specially engraved
bracelet.
After these coeds were sold as
dates and various faculty mem
bers were bonded into novel ser
vitude to the highest bidders
all for the international student
relief, recognition was also given
to outstanding door-to-door soli
citors. Gussie Young from Alder
man dormitory and Dick Fergu-
son from Kappa Alpha fraternity
I were lauded as outstanding can
vassers, Gussie having personally
' raised $103 and Dick having
solicited $100.06.
i Although all five campus sor
lorities contributed to WSSF only
i through the "Miss Pay-Off" con
test, tnere was a close race among
the men's dormitories to vie for
most charitable contribution. Al
most a three-way tie resulted be
tween Everett, where James Gil
bert solicited $37; Lewis, where
Lacy Beel raised $36.94; and "C"
dormitory, where Ed Beasel col
lected $36.35.
Five cartons of cigarettes were
also divided between Tinsley
Campbell and Sol Monsour, who
tied in the dime guessing contest
to predict the total score of the
Carolina-Washington & Lee bask
etball game last week. Although
predictions ranged from 74 to
138, no one hit the correct final
total of both teams' scores 121
points. However, both the win
ners missed that figure by mere
ly one point, Campbell predict
ing 120 and Monsour guessing 122.
Dick Gordon, WSSF drive fi
nance chairman, stated last night
that a total report of the funds
raised during the past week and
a half will be released tomorrow.
Communists Seek
Dismissal of Trial
NEW YORK, Jan. 18. (UP)
The 11 top Communists in the
United States sought dismissal of
federal charges against them to
day on grounds their trial jury
will be picked from the "silk
stocking" classes that have the
most to lose under a Communis
tic state.
The defense challenged the jury
system after William Z. Foster,
veteran chairman of the U. S.
Communist party, was judged too
ill to stand trial on the charges
of conspiracy to teach and advo
cate the violent overthrow of the
government.
Federal Judge Harold R. Me
dina severed Foster's trial from
that of the others over vigorous
defense objections that he was
the party's "flag bearer" and the
'indispensable" man in fighting a
government attempt to "execute
a major political party."
In attacking the jury system,
the Communist leaders charged
they were selected from the so
cial register, "Who's Who in New
York," financial directories and
telephone books which could be
scoured to make sure the major
ity came from the Park avenue
and Fifth avenue sections rather
than Harlem, Brooklyn or the
Lower East Side.
Up a Tree
Bill Wolf and Russ Twiford, a
pair of energetic ATO's. had a
possum on their hands yesterday
and didn't know what to do
with him.
They caught the animal, they
said, in a tree growing beside
Spencer dormitory. They spot
ted him there night before last.
They didn't offer a satisfac
tory explanation, however, of
just why they were looking in
the general direction of Spencer
when they first caught sight
of the varmint.
