Nets n C ompus Di Members Defeat Tax In Decision Poll-Tax Debate Ends in 20-4 Vote A decisive condemnation of the poll-tax was the first meas ure debated and passed by the Dialectic senate this quarter. In a meeting Wednesday night presided over by Don Shrop shire, its recently elected speak er, the Di, campus forensic clan, voted 20 to 4 in favor of .the North Carolina congressional del egation's introducing an amend ment to the U. S. Constitution making the payment of the poll tax as a pre-requisite for voting illegal. There was lengthy discussion on the Senate floor about the bill, both pro and con. Among the Senators endorsing the pro posal was Dickson McLean, who said that a poll tax discriminates against poor whites as well as Negroes and that such voting pre-requisites were responsible for the fact that the turn-out' at Southern polls was always even more disgracefully light than in Northern elections. Other Di members speaking for the bill included Sam Man ning, Horton, and Gus Graham. Manning, author of the bill, re called the Civil Rights promises of both the Democratic and the Republican platforms in the re cent national election. Horton considered the right to vote as "the fundamental law of democ racy." Opposition to the bill was led by Harold Dardcn, who insisted that it was wise to disqualify anyone who was too ignorant to vote intelligently from coming to the polls in the first place. Darden referred to the Crump administration in Tennessee as an example of an inefficient ma chine's staying in office by regi menting the unlearned block voters of poll taxes. The Di also met Wednesday earlier in a brief executive ses sion at 8: 15 prior to the open meeting at 9 o'clock. In execu tive status, the Di membership conducted, according to Presi dent Shropshire, important busi ness for an active forthcoming quarter of more constructive forensic debate."

Investigation Report Heard By Legislature By Sam Whitehall Edie Knight, chairman of the special Investigating Com mittee on Coed Affairs, gave her first official report to a lameduck Student legislature last night and made certain recommendations intended to clear up the coed govern mental troubles. Miss Knight told the assembly that each member of the commit tee has "shown real concern for the problems involved and has worked with the same goal be fore him, or her, that of putting the women's branch of the gov ernment on an even keel and correlating' their - activities with those of the rest of the campus." The six-page speech gave a break-down as to the method used by the committee in ap proaching the problem of coed government. The report indicated that the committee had checked into every intricate detail of the present coed set-up and then drew conclusions as to how they could be bettered. Major recommendations, as giv en in Miss Knight's report, are: 1. That a format and orien tation pamphlet be drawn up for treasurers, explaining in detail the function of a budget, what an organization can spend mon ey for, depending on its source of income. 2. That the importance of the job of treasurer be stressed. 3. That added care be taken in selecting a treasurer. . .

The motion to endorse the can didates, introduced by Charlie Long, unsuccessful CP president ial candidates, was passed by a 15 to 9 vote. The endorsement met opposition from several sides, however, be fore it was passed. Dortch War riner attempted to introduce a substitute motion to allow each party member to support and vote for his individual choice. A ruling from parliamentarian Jim Southerland called the mo tion out of order. Southerland later reported that, he had attended an SP meeting previous to the CP, and that the SP had indicated that they would not endorse any candidates in the run-off. "They said," he con tinued, "that the differences be tween the Campus and Student parties make, it impossible for them to endorse any CP candi dates." Leonard, who attended the meeting along with Al Lowen stein, SP vice-presidential can didate and Gordon, stated that "the UP will probably endorse any CP candidates who are not running against UP in the runoff." "I personally feel," he said, "that besides the UP candidates, the CP men are the most quali fied." A call for the question on the issue of endorsing Gordon and Leonard was defeated the first time. When the discussion went back to the floor, party members again took up Warrincr's fight to allow each member to support his own choice. Long urged the members to make their own decisions, but expressed a belief that any can didates the CP endorsed should be supported by all members. Ellis Hall stated that party mem bers were bound by the party-by-laws to support any candi dates the party nominated or en dorsed. Bob Smith introduced a sub stitute motion, replacing Gordon and Leonard's names with Bill Mackie, SP presidential candi date, and Lowenstein. However, when Smith .took the floor to dis cuss his motion, he urged the party members to support no can dates. The party then voted un animously against endorsing the SP men. Long stressed in his talk to the members that he was suporting the UP candidates for "the good of student government and the welfare of the Campus party." A motion stating that the CP would not endorse any other can didates in the runoff, also intro duced by Long, was passed ' by unanimous consent of the group. After the meeting, Charlie Gib son stated that he would leave the party because of the action. He said, however, that he would not join any other party. Gibson and Page Dees were two of the supporters of Warriner's action to avoid endorsing any candidates.
