Mackie, Leonard Deny Hebb Charges No Discrimination Was Shown, Say Duo; TMA, TGA Omitted To Streamline Law By Don Maynard Student body President Bill Mackie and Vice President Ted Leonard yesterday denied the accusation by former Town Men's Association President Ralph Hebb that the TMA and Town Girl's Association were being discriminated against Mackie, chairman of the Con-, atilUUollul ivevioiou C-uniiiilutC mu iconaru, a member oi inu ii -man group, sum in a pie partd JUieiuciU mat tne uni mission wui made to itu'iucr Aiicuiiwinc uie constitution and unit "no reaiuy or purpose nus ueen tah.cn irum tnem. inuisuay, iviiickic nad said nun. an unueiotanuing nau ueen leacned wun tnc legislature to tne tiiect tnat tnc wwn or ganizations wouid receive mem oei&mp tnrougn legislative ac tion as soon as tnc revamped constitution was auopted. "ine tact tnat tne name ot TMA nas been removed from the constitutional list of mem ber organizations to the Dance Committee, and tnat neither IMA nor TGA have been listed under the University Club, will not in any way prevent tnc continuance of their membership in these organizations," the state ment read. "The Committee on revision gave a new and specific author ity to the legislature to expand the Dance Committee and Uni versity Club memberships by law," it said. This power will eliminate the need for constitu tional amendment to add new memberships to the organiza tions the statement read. Both TMA and TGA received their scats in the organizations through constitutional amend ment last spring, but through the streamlining of the con stitution may gain representa tion through legislative action, an amendment being unneces sary. "The Committee had member ship from the leadership of both parties," the statement read, "in cluding leading candidates of both. And the Committee acted in unison on all charges, includ ing the TMA and TGA item." The reason the two groups had to have constitutional amendments to allow them to have membership in the UC and UDC was that "both the Dance Committee and University Club memberships were 'frozen" by the old constitution. "The basic purpose of the Con stitutional Revision Committee was to eliminate "the kinks which have caused amendment trouble in the past few years," the state ment read. " It was felt that the inclusion of organizations within the con stitution which were not estab lished in that document and the continuance of which depended not one whit on the wording of the constitution, but rather oh the activity and worthwhilcncss of the organizations would be to invite amendments and contra dictions," Mackie and Leonard continued. "The TMA and TGA have in effect, been relegated to the same position held by the Golden Fleece, any and all individual fraternities and sororities, the Dialectic Senate and South Building. Quaker Caravan To Present Show A Quaker Peace Caravan rep resenting four different nation alities will be present a program on world peace in the Roland Parker Lounge of Graham Me morial at 9:30 this morning.

James States Hebb's Move Is Immature TMA Hps Taken No Official Stand On Constitution Town Men's Association Presi dent uen j aines said yeoteruayj tnat the TMA nad taKen no ot- iicial stand on tne matter of its representation provided for in the revamped student constitu tion, declaring a move to defeat the" rewritten supreme law at the polls . Tuesday as "entirely impractical and immature." At the same time, Don Van Noppcn, University Party can didal lor the presidency of the student body, clarified his stand on the dispute, saying he was "cmphatipally in favor of pas sage of the constitution." However, he added, "the bra mission of TMA and TGA. from membership on the University Club and the Dance Committee, bodies on which all other stu dents arc represented, is a gross injustice." "I want to take any action possible to insure the righting of this unjust and unjustified sit uation," he declared. James' statement came on the heels of an appeal to the stu dent body yesterday by recently resigned TMA President Ralph Hebb and President Janet El lington of the TGA to vote down the proposed revision in the! present constitution because the change "discriminated against town students." Hebb yesterday said he had not intended the charges as of ficial action on the part of the TMA, but that it was his and a large part of the town students' personal feelings. James pointed out that he was opposed to any movement to de feat passage of the rewritten constitution. "He said the TMA "has been stepped on" and though he could not "admire the over bearing action f the members of the Revision Committe in this, the organization should take hold now and motivate legisla tion to gain its representation again, should the constitution be ratified."

H icatsons Full Remarks Of Candidate Are Published Standard-Bearer Clarifies Stands In Board Dispute (Following is the statement released lo tlie Publications Board last night by John Sanders, Student Party piesi denlial candidate. It is being run as jully as possible at the request of Sanders and of the Board.) ' . "In Friday's Daily Tar . Heel there appeared a series of ques tions which I directed at Chuck f Hauscr, Chairman of the Publi cations Board. I made no state ments. . .but asked questions seeking information, in which I believed the students would be interested. "I did make one statement Friday to which the Publications Board objects. "My sources for some of the questions asked, such as that of salaries paid to publications staffs and the purchase of pub lications keys from student funds, are the student govern ment budget and the Student Activities Fund Office records "Some of the other jquestipns for which (the Board) has ask ed apologies were based on mat ters which have been discussed in the Budget Committee over the past few weeks. "With reference to the ques tions and statement. . .1 would like to say the following: ".1. On March 27, the Business Manager of the DTH told the Budget Committee that he had asked the Chairman of the Pub lications Board (Billy Car michael III) to be permitted to see copies of certain contracts under which the Daily Tar Heel operates, and that his request was refused. - . s "Several members of the Bud get Committee confirm my un derstanding of this testimony. Today the DTH eBusiness Manag er stated to me that he had asked (Carmichael) for copies of the contracts concerned, and had not received them. "My question was based on the testimony of the Business Man ager, whom I feel to be- a re sponsible person, despite the seeming inconsistency of his statements of Monday and today. "2. I accept the statement of the Chairman of the Publications Board, that no money is now be ing paid out by the Board to United Press as a result of the switch to Associated Press with out having terminated the UP contract. . . "3. I did not accuse the Pub lications Board of having used student funds to purchase capi tal equipment for Colonial Press. " . "I did ask the Board whether it was true that this had been done, inasmuch as the question had been raised in the Budget Committee at least, and it seem ed that the interests of the Pub lications Board would best be served by having the matter cleared up publicly. I accept the Board's reply of March 31, stat ing thatv no funds have been spent for such purposes. "4. With reference to a state ment which I did make, Mr. J. M. Lear informs me that he did not 'instruct Hauser to hand over the records of the Publica tions Board to the Budget Com mittee. This I shall accept. "Mr. Lear says that he in formed Hauser that it is " his own (Lear's) usual policy to allow responsible persons to use ( See SANDERS, page 4) From Editorship Seekers m Outline Platforms Jones Contends Paper Snould Be For All Students Graham Jones, independent candidate for editor of tne The Daily Tar Heel, yesterday re leased the major planks of his proposed policy for the campus daily if he is elected in Tuesday's voting. In stating his platform Jones said, "I don't pretend to know all there is to know about the newspaper business. If I did, I wouldnt be enrolled in the Journalism Department trying to prepare myself for a career in the paper business. "I am familiar with the opera tional set-up of. the Daily Tar Heel, having worked as a staff member for two years, and been employed by a commercial coun ty weekly, along with some ex perience in the Winston-balem public schools. "I promise," Jones continued, an editorial policy responsive and responsible to the student body a good, scrub, day-by-day publication that faces situations as they come. One .thing on which I take issue with Hauser is that service to the student body rather than experience is the first requisite of a good editor." A condensation of Jones' plat form: "1. The Daily Tar Heel belongs to the students and not to the Publications Board. The DTH should give as much attention as is humanly possible to the stu dents their activities, spoils (in- cludng intramurals), socials, and organizations. "2. Better student columns on the edit page and contribution of the features that meet with the approval of our readers. "3. A strictly objective front page that reports all the news, accurately and without bias. As influential an editorial policy as possible in view of the fact that the DTH is to student govern ment what a liver is to the stom ach." ; Annual Drama Festival Rocky Mount Student Wins Drama - Award .loannn Holt nf Rockv , Mount High School was awarded a $300 Parkway Playhouse Acting Scho larship at the closing session of the annual four-day Carolina Dramatic Association State Drama Fastival here last night.

Heel, yesterday drummed home a two-fold policy statement as spring elections on Tuesday moved close to actuality: "Experience is the first quali fication. Service is the first ob jective." Hauser is staff-endorsed and the nominee of the University Party for the editorship of The Daily Tar Heel. He is also double endorsed by the Student Party and UP for senior member to the Publications Board. The keynote of the campaign was tuned to experience, they said. "No other candidate can come near matching Hauser's length of journalistic -service, his ability, or comprehensive grasp of what the daily newspaper of this campus must do to serve the students who pay for it." Sports Editor Vaden pointed out: ' "Hauser's 30 votes, over the combined 10 ballots of the four other candidates in staff elections should be proof enough of his abilities. After all, it's the staff which has worked with him day in and day out; they know his qualifications. All have promised to stay and devote their fullest energies to the newspaper if Hauser is elected." . Maynard and Neill said: "Haus er's first objective, service, sim ply means this: He will work for a newspaper to represent the stu dents. Not only their actions through complete news pages, but their thoughts through more student columnists on the edito rial page.

' ers caress Was Maligned By Statement, Students Aver 'Questions' Are Factual Stands, Members State John Sanders, Student Par ty candidate lor president of the student body, last night delivered to the Publications Board an apology demanded for statements branded by student members of the Board as "complete falsehoods with no basis is fact whatsoever." The apology, stated at the end of a long explanation of Sanders' remarks about the Board, read: "If any question which I have asked or statement which I have made, based on misinformation, has reflected upon the character or integrity of the Board, such was not intentional and I regrec that such has been the case." The presidential candidate also said, "At no time have I in tentionally told a falsehood with regard to the Publications Board or any member of the Board." " The three student members of the Board, Chairman Chuck Hauser, Dick Jenrette and Tom Wharton, demanded the apology in a letter to Sanders yesterday which said that they felt "the character and integrity of the Board and of the individual mem bers thereof have been seriously maligned." The faculty members of the I Board, the students said, thought they should not interfere in the matter "which could be handled purely on a student level. They have told us however, that we may proceed as a unit of the Board in this matter which does not involve them directly." The other members of the Board are Gerald A. Barrett and John T. O'Neii of the Com merce School and Financial Ad viser J. M. Lear. The fourth stu dent member was Charlie Gib son vho graduated at the end of the winter quarter. The remarks in question were made by Sanders on the Memorial Hall speakers' platform Thursday night and in The Daily Tar Heel yesterday and Friday mornings. The Board members contend ed that Sanders' "Is it not true" comments were clearly intended as statements and not as ques- tions. They concerned Publica tions Board expenditures t and general policies of the Board. Two concerned expenditure of money for a wire service alleged ly never received and for capital equipment for a privately-owned commercial ' printing establish ment.
