Gordon Will Give
Report On Audit
To Solons Tonight
Elections laws and the state of
campus finances will be the busi
ness of the Student Legislature
when it meets in its first ses
sion of the spring quarter to
night in'Di Hall.
A revised edition of the present
campus election code is expected
to be presented by the Elections
Committee of the body, and Act
ing Treasurer Dick Gordon will
make a report on the most recent
audit of student finances.
The elections bill, product of
two months work by the Elec
tions Committee, will be debated
on tonight, since it comes to the
Legislature from committee.
It is expected to be a revamped
copy of the present elections code,
which has been assailed by var-
campus leaders during the
past few years because of its
complexity.
The Elections Committee is
headed by Sheldon Plager.
With the Budget Committee
barely underway on its work on
the 1951 student budget, it is al
most certain the present Legis
lature will not get a crack at the
finance measure before it dies af
ter Tuesday's election.
The Budget body had hoped to
have the appropriation measure
ready for some consideration by
.the present. Legislature but., a
wait for results of the block fee
raise referendum, and the neces
sity for careful reviewing with a
view toward pruning various
budgets has thrown their work
back.
Speaker Ted Leonard said yes
terday that no special sessions of
the present Legislature are plan
ned. Next week's meeting will be
the last for the Eighth Legisla
ture, which began after the fall
election. Legislatures are num

As Being 'Unfair' I
Two campus financial lead-i
ers vesterdav repealed that;
student block fees probably
will not be raised for the 1950
51 fiscal year, and at the same
time branded the recent fee
referendum as a' "mistake."
Ben James, chairman of the
Legislature Finance Committee,
and Chuck Hauser, chairman of
the Publications Board, said the
Executive Committee of the
Board of Trustees, which must
approve any fee change, will not
meet in time to set up the new
fee structure "for smoothest op
erations next year."
The Legislature bill raising
the fees said the hike would go
into effect "contingent on ap
proval by the Executive Commit
tee." James and Hauser said the
measure did not state when the
question had to be placed before
the Trustees, so it was apparent
that student government would
indefinitely postpone any con
templated action this spring.
The two financiers said they
were formerly in favor of the
referendum "because it seemed
like a move to give the students a
fair chance to vote on something
which deeply concerned them,
but the 50 per cent requirement
was actually very unfair."
The Legislature bill setting up
the referendum required that at
least 50 per cent, of the student
body vote before the balloting
could have any effect. The elec
tion results were five to one
against the fee raise, but the to
tal vote was under 50 per cent,
so the raise stood unaltered.
"We both felt," James and
Hauser said in a joint statement,
"that more money was definitely
needed for next year's fiscal op
erations. We still feel that way,
but a large number of students
obivously do not want to raise
their taxes at the present time,
and we are glad the matter is
being put off fof the present."
The biggest problem ahead; the
two men added, is the work in
volved in slicing proposed bud
gets for 1950-51 to make them
fit in with estimated income.
"Publications, student govern
ment and all other organizations
under the budget will have to
take cuts," James and Hauser
pointed out. "But we are sure
that everyone will realize that
the cuts are necessary, and will
do the best they can under the
circumstances."

New Type Stunts
Being Advocated
By Yell Nominee
The promise of a new type of
football game stunts performed i
with reversible blue and white j
hats headed the platform released
yesterday by Joe Chambliss, one
of two candidates for head
cheerleader backed by the new
Nonpartisan Selection Board.
"According to the present
plan," Chambliss said, "the re
versible hats will be passed out
along with the cards for the card
stunts. Instead of making pic
tures, however, the hats will spell
out words."
Under each seat will be direc
tion cards for each of the two set&
of stunts. The card stunts will
still be used during .halftimc, and
the stunts will be used in con
nection with cheers.
Also on his p-latform Chambliss
promised a longer period for
choosing cheerleaders. His-idea is
to lengthen the period of tryouts'
from one week to two, thus giv
ing the candidates a chance to
learn the yells and to put more
feeling into them. They will then
be chosen on a basis of attend
ance at the practice sessions and
a willingness to work.
Chambliss also advocated
shorter pep rallies which will in
clude more cheering and singing,
more outdoor rallies and close co
operation with the University
Club to promote better spirit over
the entire campus.
"I shall try to find some means
of inserting into orientation
week plans a program for teach
ing our songs and yells to the
freshmen," Chambliss said. "And
this will include teaching the
principle of card stunts to the
freshmen."
Another of his plans, if elected,
is to appoint a manager in each
dormitory who will help publi
cize such events as pep rallies
and torchlight parades.
"Sometimes something comes
up that we want every student to
attend, but it is too late to noti
fy them through the Daily Tar
Heel. When this happens, the
dorm managers will be respon
sible for notifying residents of
their dorm about it." As an ex
ample Chambliss cited the Sun
day last fall when the football
team returned from the LSU
game.
"At 2 o'clock we found out that
the plane was due at the Raleigh
Durham Airport at 3 o'clock in
stead of at 4 o'clock. In that hour
a small group of students tried to
telephone every dormitory, so
rority and fraternity house to let
them know of the change."
More cheering at basketball
games, new yells for both foot
ball and cage games and shorter
yells to use between plays com
pleted Chambliss' platform.

Soys Program Is
Major Plank
Student Party presidential can
didate John Sanders yesterday
broached plans for i student
government officer-training pro
gram as a major plank in his
platform.
The plan, which Sanders as
serted he vas already working
on, would be in the form of a stu
dent government conference on a
weekend shortly after the in
auguration of student officers.
"Chief purpose of the confer
ence," Sander;; explained, "would
be for the men and women who
are to run student government
for the next year to examine,
evaluate, and restate the philoso
phy and objectives of student
government in general.
'Secondlyrit would enable stu
dent office-holders to get ac
quainted with the details of his
task, why his job is necessary and
in what way it ties in with stu
dent government as a whole, and
learn how such tasks can be car
ried out to the best interests of
the students," the candidate said.
Sanders said the need for such
a program could be seen in the
fact that "many students elected
and appointed to student gov
ernment posts lack any clear
conception of the nature and pur
pose of their jobs."
He said this was a major han
dicap in the effective operation
