CHUCK HAUSER Requirements; For Old Well Made By 300 Society To Hear Eligibles Next; 1 Not To Take AH By Wuff Newell Approximately 300 juniors and seniors will receive cards next week informing them that they have met the activities require ments for membership in the Or der of the Old Well. These ; students will then be interviewed by the executive committee of. the organization, and sometime in April the Order of thft Old Well will hold its se cond annual initiation ceremony. Although 300 students will be asked to fill out" the Order's ac tivity sheets, all of them will not be eligible to join the organiza tion, for its members must qual ify not only on the basis of the part they take in campus activi ties but also oh the basis of grades and character. "We are not limited as to the number of students we may . in vite to join," Pete Gerns, presi dent, said yesterday, "but "only those students who arc rated high in activities, character and scho larship may become members. Last year the Order initiated 72 members." The point system on which membership is based covers every activity in which a student has participated during his residence on campus Points are given for membership in an organization, scholarship, student government activities, sports, musical and dramatic activities and self help WOrk. - - Only a certain number of points may be received in any one cate gory, however. As th Order was founded only last year, it is stll in the organ izational stage, and, according to Gems, it may have overlooked some students who arc eligible. "If a student thinks he belongs to enough activities to be con sidered for membership in the Order of the Old Well but has not received a card, he should contact Dean Ernest Mackie arid see if a mistake has been made," Gerns said. Dean Mackie will be in his of fice, next week from 9:15 until 10:45 every . morning and from 3 o'clock to 5 o'clock each after- Sanders VanNoppen, Selby Refuse Race Issue Campaign t . By Roy Parker, Jr. Three- student body presiden tial candidates yesterday turned hands down on a fourth's at tempt to inject the question of Negro admittance into the cam pus political battle. Y Candidates John Sanders, Don VanNoppen, and Toby Selby, in a joint statement, asserted they refused' 'to enter into an argu ment -on the racial discrimina tion issue with candidate Joe Borelio. Borello, in a platform released yesterday, said he would, if elect ed, work for the immediate ad mittance of Negroes to Univer sity graduate and professional schools. - Bringing the question of admis sion of Negroes would result in "stands being taken and divisions being made on a political basis, and not on the basis -of reason, logic,' or the recognition , of ob vious facts," the statement said. "We therefor refuse to enter into-argument over the issue, for we believe such a controversy would be to the detriment of the University, student government, and the cause of better race re- Candidates Say Borello Promise Is Inadvisable lations in North Carolina," the candidates declared. "Recognizing the full impor tance of this matter," the candi dates asserted, "we are equally convinced that it is an issue which must be kept out of stu dent politics. "The entrance upon the Caro lina scene of Negro students and the problems which could con ceivably result from this action merits thoughtful consideration fey every student on campus, and particularly those of us in stu dent government," the candidates avowed, "however, the question of such admittance is not one which can or will be decided by student opinion or action, one way or the other. "Thus decision will be made by the federal courts," they de clared. - ' In their statement, the candi dates outlined the history of the Negro admittance problem in four other southern states and de clared, "North Carolina must al so recognize the fact that we can no longer legally or logically deny any group of citizens or taxpayers the full and equal1 use of all public institutions and services. : ' "We believe that this step will be along the road of progress and achievement in the field of race relations," they asserted. A "great responsibility" will rest, on student government, "once the courts decide that Negro students may attend the University,"- tficy concurred. "It will be up to it to do all within its power to insure their integration into campus life as smoothly and uneventfully as possible," the nominees declared. An action is now pending in Middle District court in Durham in which several North Carolina College law students seek in junctions against the University, asking that they be allowed ad mittance. It is expected to be heard sometime next month. Inauguration Of Long Set By Di Tonight Charles O. Long will be sworn in as president of the Dialectic Senate tonight at 0 o'clock in the Di Hall.

The two plaster of paris molds of the greek statues, Venus de Milo and Apollo Belvedere, tra veled rather poorly for renowned personages, however. They made the brief trip up Cameron Ave nue in sections, cradled in the arms of several husky employees of the Building and Grounds de partment, on a truck. They were really not at their best for traveling, cither, being dust covei'ed, and chipped, and even missing fingers and toes. Venus had a hole in her chin, as well as chips one place and an other. Apollo had lost a wholte arm, his' bow arm, at that, al though the hand still valiantly clutching the bow was found ly ing on the floor beside him. Before their retirement to the storage room over the adminis tration pffices, the, statues, .to gether with one of "Minerva, had a long and eventful history. with the busts of people like Cic- When the class of 1900 came to Professor Abin Alexander, of the Greek Department, former U. S. minister to Greece, and then Dean of the School of Arts and Sciences, in search of ideas for a class gift; he suggested to them that they buy a greek statue for the library, which was then lo cated in what is now the Play makers Theater. Venus was settled upon, and set up in state in the library. The classes of, 1901, arid 1902 brought her company in the forms of Apollo and Minerva. The three, statues moved with the library to Hill Hall in 1929, when that was built to be the new library. Dr. L. R. Wilson, of the school of Library Science describes them there, "Venus up on a pedestal, and Apollo stand ing in another corner always looking as though he was going to shoot me. This other girl . . (Minerva) I never paid any at tention to her. They were in ero, Cacser and flato. Dr. Wilson thinks the statues may have been in the new library for a time before being retired to South Building's attic with the old records, and discarded play- maker wigs. The statues will be in Hill only long enough to take part in the opera being presented there this weekend. The opera is Gluck's story of Orpheus, who was helped in saving his wife from death by the goddes of love. Ed Bryant, an art student, ,who is designing the sets for the per formance, "found the statues, and decided to make use of them as background. Orpheus will be presented in Hill Hall Saturday and Sunday at 8:30, with Barbara Young, John Bridges, and Betty Lou Ball singing the parts of "the three principals. Then Venus and Apollo will rejoin Minerva and and the beaver hats, the wigs, and files behind the locked door of South Building's attic.

C. B. Eringhaus, told members of the Phi Assem bly last night that he is backing Willis Smith for the Senate be cause Smith was "against FEPC and for an economy based on a balanced budget." Speaking at the inauguration of new Phi spring quarter offi cers, Eringhaus claimed that the Negro 'race in North Carolina is better off without FEPC and that 'the country has "gone too far in deficit spending." The new otiicers installed were Granam Jones, speaker; George iouman, speaker pro-tempore; Mary bpamhour, cierk; Walter Montgomery, treasurer; Otis Mc Coiium, seargeant-at-arms; Carl Williams, critic; and Pete Gerns, parliamentarian. "I regard the opporunity of the negro to learn in North Carolina superior to the opportunity of the wnites. The Negro race has ad anced under a philosophy of seg regation much further than" it could under non-segregation." He pointed out that the Negro law school at Durham, with 28 students, received half the ap propriation of the University's law school which has 228 students. "Remove the incentive to try to get ahead and you remove the means for the Negroes to ad vance," - Eringhaus said. ; "At some place along the line, and in some legislature, we must stop . deficit spending and start backing up. In the dark, days of '33, Willis Smith was one of the courageous few who asked for an economy cut and made it possible for North Carolina to pay off her $17 million debt."
