SERIALS DEPT CHAPEL'. HILL, U, 8431-49 VI EWS Columnists Harry Snook and Chuck Hauser give some inter-, esting views on the MacArthur question. See page 2. VOLUME LIX ORVILLE CAMPBELL JIMMY CAPPS PB Releases New Policy On Posters The Publications Board yes terday released a statement of policy regarding a political pos ter made up in a miniature for mat of The Daily Tar Heel used in the recent campaign by Don Maynaid. The Board said it considered Maynard's use of a miniature Daily Tar Heel "flag," or front page name-label, as "highly un ethical." The Board condemned such practices and said it was request ing an opinion from the Student Council on the matter, "urging that such conduct be made, an Honor Code violation in the fu ture." An answer from the court as sured the Board that such a mat ter could not be considered an Honor Code offense, since it did not involve lying, cheating or stealing in any way. The Board's statement con tinued, "The Board feels that Maynard took unfair advantage of his four opponents in publish ing the newspaper and that he had absolutely no right to use the exact format of The Daily Tar Heel without authorization by the Board." Managing Editor Chuck Hauser pointed out yesterday that May nard's political poster was "far from an exact format of The Daily Tar 'Heel." Hauser added that Maynard had "full author ization" to use the "flag" from Editor Roy Parker. Speaks Sunday Rev. Richard L.

Co it tAt Cornerstone Is Laid Amid Noise ; Of Work Building Debris Is Not Deterrent To Masonic Rites By Mac White The cornerstone of the new Medical School teaching hospital was laid late yesterday afternoon according to Masonic rites re vised for the occasion and to the tune of grinding construction ele vators. Some 200 persons attended the event. The Masonic ceremony, which ! requires tnat a Duuaing De no Vi i V - v .tUnn V i yiiirnmTtnn n ' 1 1 ! the time of its laying, was altered I for this occasion, since the hos-1 pital is nearly completed. A gaping hole was left near the ' base of the northwest corner of ! the main building, and into this the stone was slipped after due i ceremony. The formal 'ceremony began after a procession of the Masons was led by North Carolina Grani Master W. E. .Caldwell through brick piles, Vnobile cranes, and construction workers to a tempor ary platform. The platform, decked in green burlap and perched on top of a gravel pile, was large enough to hold the 18 or so Masonic dig nitaries. Documents telling of the fight to get the hospital were sealed up in the stone. The stone, after be ing tested by ceremonial squares and levels for its perfectness, and after being blessed by the Grand Chaplain, was ready for inspec tion by the Grand Marshall. Sure of the stone's soundness, the Grand Marshall proceeded to douse it with wine, oil and shell ed corn ' as symblomatic assur ances of happiness, peace and plenty. Complete with all these fixings, the four by one-and-a-half by two-foot stone was hoisted into place. The approximately 75 Masons on hand for the ceremony sport ed loincloth-like Masonic aprons. The aprons of the higher Masons were blue and white gold-fringed velvet, while those of the less important were plain white. R. B. House, Chancellor of the University, acting as -master of ceremonies, called the occasion "actually and symbolically the beginning of a new era." He com pared the occasion to the Old East cornerstone laying in 1793 which was presided over by W. R. Davie, the founder of the University.

Independent coed candi date Glenn Harden swamped independent Don Maynard with a two-to-one majority for the editorship of The Daily Tar Heel. ' Bowers captured 1,360 votes to 823 for his independent opponent as 2,224 students cast their ballots to choose officers for the 1951-52 academic, year. Harden received 1,421 votes to Maynard's 712 a margin of 709. Other offices filled in yesterday's sunny balloting included: For president of the senior class: Archie Myatt (Ind.) with 433 votes over Bill Bostic (University Party) with 248. tov senior vice president: Al House (Ind.) with 346 over Jack Owen (UP) with 310.

One seat on the Woman's Hon or Council went to Betty Ann Reese with 127 votes. Eliminated were Caroline Hassinger with 119 and Eleanor Martens with 80. All elected officers will be in augurated next Wednesday night. Harden carried every district in her race, while Bowers lost in only the two men's town districts, and those by extremely close margins. In the men's dormitory districts both Bowers and Harden re ceived twice the votes of their opponents. In the men's town district:-; James was only 11 votes ahead of Bowers 10 ahead in one district and a single vote ahead in the other.

The $125 figure came about from $75 collected in fines and the rest in a saving from the bud get appropriation of $301. Mason, the chairman, only requested $280 for the group next year. It was granted by the Student Legisla ture in the new budget. In totaling up expenses for the year, it was discovered much to the surprise of both Mason and Secretary-Treasurer Banks Talley that last fall's special election, regular fall election, this spring's election, and all runoffs cost only $260. At 5:30 yesterday afternoon, one half hour before time for the polls to close, Mason said two persons had not turned in expense ac counts. Nancy Burgess, society editor of The Daily Tar Heel, and WEATHER Continued fair and warm to day and tomorrow.

The quirk, however, is that they went into this runoff because their opponent, Betty Lou Worth ington, was disquaJified in the regular election for the same thing, Mason explained. Asked whether a big vote was expected, Mason said those who had been campaigning in the dormitories reported most people out of their rooms or "too fed up with politics to vote." Mason added, "Spring is here. Maybe we should allow the squirrels to vote." New Deadline The deadline fo rentries for the University Club Carnival has been extended to tomorrow, Qarnival Chairman Erline Grif fin said yesterday. All organizations wishing to enter booths should contact her at 201 Spencer Dormitory, she said. - I r""-i,""i I r r f( I o SfrascjiTi
