S. Senator Frank P. Gra ham, whom he appointed to the Senate and who is receiving the Go'ernor's active support, would have five or : six opponents in his campaign for the Democratic Senatorial nomination. Candidates already in the field include former U. S. Senator Robert Rice Reynolds, Olla Ray Boyd of Pinetown and Manley Dunnaway of Charlotte. Super ior Court Judge Henry L. Stev ens of Warsaw has said he is thinking of entering the race. Reynolds, said Scott, "would get more votes if he were the only man running against Gra ham." The Governor also said he did not think Stevens would reduce Graham's vote greatly if he enters the race. Then the governor commented: the territory between here and Alabama looking for work. He was charged with carry ing a concealed weapon when he was picked up by police on the outskirts of Chapel Hill. Too scared to speak out in court, he later said he carried the weapon, a .33 caliber re volver, for protection on , his long hike. The benevolent students covering the court for class, passed the hat and raised the necessary $20.80 to give John ny his freedom. But there is more to the story than the freeing of John ny since Judge John Manning pointed out to the students that the police w-ill have to j pick him up for vagrancy if he doesn't find a job. For the present, Johnny is .staying at the home of a min ister in Carrboro.

If he becomes doubly - nominated, Woodhouse will be the second such unop posed candidate to seek the post in as many years. The endorsee is a member of . Kappa . Sigma fraternity. "Senator Groham has a lot of folks who believe in him, that don't believe in me. "On the other hand, there are a good many folks who supported me who won't support Graham." 'He -predicted "that "there are people who voted for me who will vote for Reynolds," and he explained that '"a lot of folks voted for me just for the hell of it and they'll do the same with Reynolds." Scott said he believed many voters would cast their ballots for Graham because "they've heard propaganda he is a Com munist." "A fellow might say, 'I don't believe that' " and 'although I don't like Graham, I'm going to vote for him.' " The Governor again warned the Graham forces against over- conficV'-nce, saying: "The most dangerous state ment you can make is that you can't be beat. Folks don't like a man to say he is all-powerful."

Van Noppen Wants Chance At Presidency Mitchell Running; Warriner After Vice-Presidency By - Chuck Hauser A three-cornered battle for the two highest posts in stu dent government seemed to be shaping up ior the Uni-versitj- Party steering com mittee meeting in Graham Memorial at 2 o'clock this af ternoon. The UP will nominate its can didates for president and vice president for spring elections April 4 before the afternoon is over, according to Chairman Paul Roth. Herb Mitchell, the heir-apparent to the UP presidential candi dacy, has run into last-minute opposition in" the form of Don Van Noppen, senior from Morganton. Mitchell is a junior from Ashe ville. Dortch Warriner, senior from Lawrenceviile, Va., has entered in ' the race for the vice-presidency apparently by himself. But indications are that he will Jiave to oppose Mitchell if Van Nop pen captures the top nomination. The winner of the r,umhpr one post will fight the battle of the ballot boxes against John San ders, graduate student from Four Oaks, who was nominated last week by the Student Party as their spring standard-bearer. The SP vice-presidential can didate will not be chosen until next Monday. The party hit a vote deadlock this week between Bill Prince of Rochester, . N. Y., and Dick Murphy of Baltimore, Md., for the position. One thing seems certain. With the defunct Campus Party out of the political picture for this spring, the UP and SP will not , be doing much, if anj-, double- endorsing of candidates. There are apparently plenty to go around on all sides.

The Campus Chest Board of Directors set as a goal 101) per I cent contribution, but by the original Friday deadline, only I two-fifths of the students on cam : pus ' had been solicited. Fusseli explained that the I board ."took this to mean that j there had not been sufficient time (for the solicitors to get around to everyone, ' not' that three-fifths of the students did not want to contribute."
