Three-Party Rally
Draws Big Crowi
Band Leads Large Group in Parade;
Top Candidates Speak at Meeting
By Charles McCorkle
A lethargic campus showed some signs of life Thursday
evening m the form of a goqd, old-fashioned, knock-down
and drag-out political rally and torchlight parade attended
by some 500 students.
xnt duuit-nif iu memorial nail-
heard short speeches by the can-1
didates for president, vice-president,
secretary-treasurer and Tar
nation editor, highlighted by Cam
pus party vice-presidenital candi
date Bank's Talley, who branded
the present Student legislature as
"the most damnable, do-nothing
legislature that we have ever
had."
The rally was begun by a torch
light parade complete with the
University band, arranged by
the University club. The parade
took the usual fall pep rally route,
hitting its peak as it came down
Franklin street in the business
district. The marchers were led
by many political posters and
banners carried for parties and in
dividual candidates.
Elections board chairman Al
Winn presided over the meeting.
Winn introduced the candidates
in order of the importance of
their positions and alphabetically
in those categories.
The first speaker of the even-
ng was University party presi
dential candidate Dick Gordon,
who said that interest in student
government was at a low ebb.
Gordon pointed out two import
ant problems which affect stu
dents: (1) Registration, with its
long lines and hours of drop-add
waiting, and (2) The University
Veterans' clubhouse, which-may
be available in the future as a
dormitory recreation center.
Campus party presidential can
didate Charlie Long said the CP
was finding out what students
thought of student government,
and what they think should be
done. He pointed out that the
CP's primary aim is "government
not only by and of the students,
but government for the students.'
The Student party standard
bearer, Bill Mackie, spoke most
ly on the organization and prin
ciples of the SP. He said the SP
believes that student government
is "part of the educational life
of students. We believe the party
must stand for long-range prin
ciples and goals," Mackie added.
On the question of appellate
power, the candidate said, "The
SP majority on the Student coun
cil has worked to make the ap
peal work. Wc don't believe that
the court system is set up to
throw people out of school. But
the appeal should not mean a
chance for a person to have two
different trials."
Ted Leonard, University party
candidate for vice-president, de
scribed the legislature as "the
cornerstone of student govern
ment," while CP candidate Talley
made his remark about "the most
damnable, do-nothing legislature."
SP vice-presidential candidate Al
Lowenstein said that if office
holders paid more attention to
student government and less to
b'.-ing politicians, there would be

Solons Rush
Legislation
Through Mill
By Sam Whitehall
The Student legislature wasted
little time Thursday night in run
ning through a couple of bills
and revising a constitutional
amendment which it , had passed
at its last session.
The amendment in question
was one setting up the Greater
University Student council as a
constitutional body. The amend
ment passed previously and
scheduled to be thrown up to
the student body for ratification
next Tuesday carefully named
the members of the council who
would serve for the University.
Legislator Tom Kerr, who in
troduced the original amend
ment, moved Thursday night to
reconsider the constitutional
change, and then introduced an
amendment to it which stated
that the Student legislature
would have the power to name
the delegates on the council for
the University.
The legislature, after passing
the new amendment, passed a
bill which named the council
members. The bill is to go into
effect if the amendment is rati
fied. The bill said the University
delegation to the council' would
consist of the president of the
student body, the vice-president,
the attorney-general, the chair
man of the orientation commit
tee, the chairman of the Student
council, the chairman of the
Men's council, the chairman of
the Women's council and three
students at large to be chosen by
the president, one of which
would be a member of the Stu
dent legislature.
The solons also passed two
bills pertaining to the by-laws of
the legislature. One made all
committee meetings compulsory
and the other provided for the
appointing of assistant chairmen
for all standing committees.
The life of the. special com
mittee to investigate coed gov
crnment was extended one week.
The final action of the legislative
session was a motion to present a
gavel to Vice-President and
Speaker Jim Godwin for his work
in the legislature in the past year,

Store to Continue
In Victory Village
. The Victory Village Co-op
has met its pledged goal of $1,
200 in stock subscriptions and
wil continue in operation,
Frank Kottke, member of the
board of directors, said yester
day. It was announced last month
that the store faced a possible
close down next year if addi
tional stock was hot sold to
offset a deficiency of funds re
sulting from withdrawals by
students leaving Chapel Hill.
Kottke asked some 125: per
sons who pledged to purchase
stock this month to do so dur
ing the next 0 .days at the
store.
The store is, operating now on
$4477 worth of stock outstand
ing, but' the board estimated
that student withdrawals would
have rriade. it impossible to con
tinue profitably the operation
of the stPle..;
Kottke explained yesterday
that 10 per cent of the co-op's
profits' must be placed in sur
plus and two per cent must
be Used to distribute informa
tion on how the store operates.
He added that the remaining
profits are used to pay a five
per cent dividend on stock and
to pay rebates to customers.
The co-op was formed when
veterans living in Victory Vil
lage joined together in order
that they might get grocery
materials at the cheapest prices
available. The stock holders
have found it an easy way to
save money which would other
wise have been spent.
Change Needed,
Laski Tells Group
At Local Speech
"As slavery gave way to feu
dalism, as feudalism gave way
to capitalism, so must capitalism
give way to a new order," said
Dr. lHarold J. Laski, professor of
economics and political science
in the University of London, in
a public lecture in Hill hall.
Since the end of the First
World War, Laski said, the status
of the trade-unions has been
changing, usually for the better.
In the United States this im
provement in the status of labor
unions has been most notable
since the elections 01 1942, he
said. "The elections of 1932 saw
the end of laissez fa ire in America,
and its replacement by something
better," Laski said. ! "- 1
Speaking ' on "The"' Structure
and Function of Trade-unionism
in America," Laski said that .the
unions have a definite function
in reiauon 10 caucaiion oi mcn
bers to participate in civil gqv
ernment 'The trade-unions must
also realize that they have to be
technical and scientific minded
in the sense that they must carry
on research," he asserted.
"The way to root out commun
ism in trade-unions," he continu
ed, "is to attend meetings of your
unions. If you aren't willing to
give this service to the organic
zations you have created then
you deserve to have Communist
take over. I am in favor of ma
jority rule. . '
"We. have got to stop 'witch
hunting.' Witch hunting makes
us incapable of reasoning and
when ' we lose the power to rea
son wc become the image of the
witch of which we are afraid,
he concluded. '
Education Graduates
Will, Ease Shortage
The bchool 01 Education an
nounced today that if the surg
ing upswing in education ma
jors continues the acute teacher
shortage will be alleviated. In
1947 there were only 70 Uni
versity graduates who had pre
pared themselves for public
school teaching. In 1948 the num
ber had increased to an even 100
and this year there are almost
150 graduates who will go into
the teaching field.

on the
Political
On the Subject of Misplaced Posters
EVEN THE POLITICIANS GET MIXED UP sometimes, if
you wander through the halls of the upper quad dorms you
can probably spot the posters put up there by the University
candidates for legislature from the town district! And down
in Alexander dorm, a certain enterprising candidate named
Hugh Johnson, running on the CP ticket, has his posters up
for vice-president of the yenior class. It seems that Hugh didn't
realize that Alexander is a freshman dormitory.
Here's the latest word on two rumors running around, both
of them favorable to CP presidential candidate Charlie Long.
One of 'em says that Ernie House, University alumnus .now
living in Marion, is supporting Long in his race.' House, as
most of us should know,: is a highly-respected man around
.campus. He served a term as vice-president of the Univers
ity party and spent a couple of years doing a splendid job -on
the legislature Finance committee. The other rumor, which
seems pretty definite, is that Wayne Brcnengan, who was almost
an independent candidate for president this year, is support
ing Long.
And on the Subject of the Triply Club
Spring elections this year see several new members to the
Triply club, an exclusive little group of people who have had
the honor of being triply-endorsed in their politicaal races by
all three campus political parties. The four members running
at present are Dick Jenrette, for editor of the Daily Tar
Heel; Norm Sper, re-election as head cheerleader; Bill Clay
brook, for editor of the Yackety Yack; and Tom 'Wharton,
for senior member to the Publications board.
Past members of the Triply club are Ed Joyner, present
editor of the Daily Tar Heel; Bill Moffitt, who was elected
editor of the Yackety Yack and then had to withdraw for
academic reasons; and Chuck Hauser, who was running for
Daily Tar Heel editor, and ran into some of Moffitt's trouble.
Dr. Donald P. Costello
ment since 1947, Dr. Costello, re
ceived, his B.A. degree from the
College of Detroit and his Ph.D.
from the University of Pennsyl
vania. After teaching there for
five years, Dr. Costello came to
the University in 1935.
Each summer since 1939, Dr.
Costello has done distinguished
work, as instructor at the Woods
Hole laboratories in Massachu
setts. Kenan professorships are
awarded for distinguished ser
vice over a period of years and
carry , with them an increase in
salary. The Kenan professorships
and Endowment and Reserve
fund, which makes such appoint
ments possible, was established
at the University in 1917 by the
will of the late Mrs. Mary Lily
Kenan Bingham.
Nyimicz, Ward

dency and vice-presidency re
spectively of the Carolina Ath-

Turns Thumbs
Down on Idea
Declares Trustees
vVYould Not Approve
j'.John , W. Umstead yesterday
turned . thumbs down on the
movement to draft George C.
Marshall as president of the con
solidated University, declaring
that "it is a bunch of foolish
ness." Umstead, a member of the
Executive committee of the
Board of Trustees, declared that
Marshall "would get it over my
protest." He then said that he
thought he knew the Board well
enough to say that none of them
would consider Marshall as pres
ident to succeed Senator Graham.
Umstead, who represents
Chapel Hill in the House of Rep
resentatives, declared that the
University needs a "young man
with vision who is a real edu
cator." "Just because a man has
made a success in one field
doesn't mean that he will suc
ceed in another," he said. He
pointed out that it was not good
business to call a man off one job
in which he is succeeding and
put him on another.
' Umstead also suggested that
General Marshall was too old for
the position as president of the
Greater University. The retire
ment age is 70, he said," and only
with the unanimous consent of
the Board is a man allowed to
continue work after that age.
When questioned about other
Washington officials, Umstead
said that the Board would not
consider them. He again stressed
the advisability of selecting a
young man, who could be trained
and who would be in the service
of the University for a long time.
Governor Scott said he will not
appoint the trustee's committee
to select the next University
president until the legislature
elects new members of the board
to succeed those whose terms are
now expiring. The legislature is
expected to elect new members
next week.
Umstead said that some people
who were being ; considered by
Scott a, members of the special
committee- to appoint a new. pres
ident .were not now members of

Move Said 'Hasty'
By Jess Dcdmond
A movement to draft Gen.
George C. Marshall as president
of the Greater University to suc
ceed Senator Frank P. Graham
was termed by student body
president Jess Dedmond yester
day as "hasty" after he learned
of the impetus the move had
gained. '
A number of petitions have
been circulated by three Uni
versity students, Banks Shep
herd, senior from Laurinburg;
Jerry Pence, junior from Wa
gram and Tom Mayfield, fresh
man from New Orleans, La.
Dedmond's statement con
demned the movement which has
snowballed throughout the cam
pus. He said, "I do not feel at
this time that it is desirable for
students to concentrate on indi
viduals. I believe it is more im
portant that we consider the
qualities that we as students
would like to see in our -new
president.
Dedmond went on to say that
several student government lead
ers are now formulating a list of
desirable candidates for the pres
idency, and that the list will be
released as soon as it is fully
compiled.
The petitions first appeared
yesterday morning in the lobby
of the Y, where nearly 400 signa
tures were secured by noon. Sev
eral hundred additional names
were obtained by 6tudents cir
culating petitions throughout the
campus, Shepherd said.
"We intend to collect' 1,000 or
more names," Shepherd contin
ued, "but we won't stop at that
number if we can get more." It
is intended to present the com
pleted petitions to the committee
Governor Scott will appoint to
consider a new president. Shep
herd said he is trying to have the
University Veteran's association
endorse the Marshall movement.
