Stud On ents Will Be Observers President-Picking Group By Sam McKeel Six Greater University Stud ent Council members yesterday were appointed by Chairman Dcrtch Warriner to sit as observ ers at the next meeting of the Selection Committee of the Uni versity of North Carolina Board of Trustees to hear the names and biographical abstracts of the 12 people remaining on the list of presidential candidates for the Greater University. This will mark the second time that these names have been di vulged to anyone. Preceeding the meeting with the students ' the Committee will m'.et the Joint Faculty Committee for the same purpose. At the same time the Council heard a report from O. Max Gardner, Jr., University law stud ent and member of the Board of Trustees and the Selection Com mittee. Gardner briefly gave the council some background infor mat ion nn the members of the Selection Committee and then explained how the Committee went about screening the large number of candidates it had started with clown to the present 12. Named to represent the Coun cil at the meeting with the Coun cil were two people from each student body, Nancy Porter of the Woman's College with Neil Jones: IIovlc Adams of N. C. State with Preston Andrews; and Bill Mackie of Carolina with Jesi Dtdmond. The action to allow stundents to sit as observers on the Com mittee came after a request was made by the Council to Governor Kerr Scott. Governor Scott re ferred the request to the Com mittee by-way-of Gardner asking for favorable action. Gardner told the Council that at the first meeting of the Com mittc they had only 36 names. At the second meeting, he said, the Committee received letters from members of the Board of Trustees naming candidates, and that they also had representa tives from the Woman's College, both students and faculty. At this meeting the list grew to 69 names At the third meeting the Com mittee had interviews from inte rested people, saw State College and Carolina students, and had the Joint Faculty Committe pre sent some 93 names, some which included duplication of names they already had. The list grew this time to 176 names, and was then broken down to 66 names. By the time the fourth meeting rolled around the list had again grown to large proportions. A total of 225 names appeared. Here the Committee asked help in getting biographical abstracts of the Joint Faculty . Committee of the complete list. During the course of this meeting 185 names were screened and laid aside. Not discarded, because at any time any name which has been up for consideration and has been laid aside came be re-nominated and brought up for further dis cussion. Forty names then re mained. The fifth meeting saw the list cut to 25 names and the sixth saw it take the tumble to the present 12. It is this list that the repre sentatives of the Council wil hear, in an informal discussion. The meeting, the third of the year for the Council, saw the Council take positive action on intra-mural sports between the three schools, the exchange of lecturers and faculty radio round table discussions, and the ex change of student leaders during orientation.

Newest Tarnation Will Hit Campus Tomorrow A black and blue covered Tar nation will make its appearance on campus today, the second 64-page vest-pocket issue pub lished this fall. Containing 16 pages devoted to a New York guide and a list ing of important reminders" for those heading north for the Notre Dame weekend, tnis "So You Like Football" issue will be dis tributed to every point on the circulation lists of The Daily Tar Heel, Editor Tom Kerr said yesterday. "There will be enough Tar nations circulated Wednesday for everyone," Kerr emphasized, "If every student doesn't get a copy, it is because someone has picked up an additional copy to which they are not entitled."

The reversal of the original de cision to exchange the coupons at Yankee Stadium the morning oi the game is in order to give students more tune and freedom in New York, Vernon Crook, Athletic ticket office manager, said yesterday. In announcing the revised plan, Crook said that it would be more convenient for the students to pick up their tickets in Chapel Hill, rather than having to stand in line in New York on Nov. 12. The new plan, which will en able students to know immediate ly where they will be sitting at the game, will put the tickets in the hands of the students and i eliminate the necessity of having to set up special booths and to hire extra personnel to distribute the tickets in New York. The primary purpose of the original plan was to keep the tickets out of the hands of scalp ers as long as possible. Crook said: - - :-r University officials expressed the desire that students with card section tickets hold those tickets and not let them get into the hands of persons not acquainted with the halftime card displays, they pointed out that the Uni versity has absorbed the differ ence in price because ' officials felt that students participating in the halftime card display were a part of the halftime show and deserved a reduced rate. Tickets in the card section, lo cated in the open stands betwen the 20 and 40-yard lines, were sold for $3.00. Tickets outside the card section were sold at the regular price of $4.80. With the announcement of the new ticket distribution plan came a warning that it is a federal of fense to sell the tickets at more than face value and that violators will be prosecuted. However, Crook said that the new plan would be more favor able to students who had good intentions of making the trip, but later found that it would be impossible to do so. Students who have tickets, but who are unable to go to New York for the game, may sell their tickets back to the Athletic Association at the price they paid for them. Students desiring to sit with friends at the game should go to the ticket office together and President To Veto New Law On Infirmary Balloting Setup By Roy Parker, Jr. Student Body President Bill Mackie will exercise his veto power for the first time during his tenure today when he puts his presidential "kiss of death" on the Infirmary ballot law pased at Thursday night's Legis lature session, The bill doing away with the Election Board's responsibility for providing infirmary patients with election ballots is the legis lation slated for presidential dis approval.

Al Winn Jt-)t chairman of the Legislature's Elections Commit tee and author of tne bill, in all probability will lead a "floor fight to override the veto. He conferred with Mackie and Elections Board head Jim Gwynn on the matter yesterday, and although no det inue statements were issued, Winn said he still stood by his guns on the advisibility of the bill. Mackie had asserted before the bill went to Legislature Thurs day that it was "unwise." Winn said on the floor that the bill was necessary because "the pres ent (now past) law is continu ally violated," and has said since that he believes the bill to be the best solution. The bill received strong op position at Thursday's Legisla ture session from legislators Dave Sharpe (UP) and John Sanders (SP). Nat Williams (UP)' and Sheldon Plager (UP) spoke in favor of the legislation. It pro vides for friends to bring ballots to infirmary voters. Late yesterday, the Tar Heel staff had not fully determined the infirmary's policy in this proposed gesture which might interfere with a busy hospital routine. Unless a motion to override Mackie's veto comes up in to night's meeting of the Student Legislature, the body will have little business. The scholastic re quirements for campus office holders bilL recommitted to Elec tions Committee Thursday night, is still in the committee.

(See DODO, page 4) PARIS, Nov. 7 (JP) A full scale revolt broke out tonight among members of the European Consultative Assembly against limitations placed on their work by the Foreign Ministers Com-! mittee, upper house of the Euro pean Council. A sizeable bloc led by France's Paul Reynaud held that the min isters are gagging the Assembly and with it all hope of European unity. Reynaud declared that if this continues, he and many others will bolt the Assembly, said per sons who attended a firey session of the Assembly's Permanent Steering Committee. Reynaud, reliable sources re ported, was virulent in his at tacks on the Ministers Commit tee for its decision to refer all Assembly resolutions on econom ic matters to the Marshall Plan's European Economic Cooperation Organization.
