SP Raises
Brows At
UP's Move
By Louis Kraar
Student Party leaders were skep
tical yesterday. .
Commenting on the University
Party move, which would virtually
turn the fraternity dominated party
over to dorm dwellers, key SP
members were somewhat doubt
ful. SP Chairman Lew Southern said,
"This is something they CUP) have
done every year since I've been
here. It will probably fizzle out
like it always has."
Floor Leader Joel Fleishman (SP)
declared with raised eyebrows,
"This is an example of an old pol
itical trick that the UP brings out
every year about this time. In
stead of proposing continually to
give the dorm man representation
why not do something concrete
about it?"
Fleishman added, "It's far cry
from democratic political words
to democratic political actuality
from theory to practicality from
the UP's present indifference to
the ordinary students to the real
concern of working to improve the
situation."
Ken Barton, SP's presidential
candidate last year, said, "I think
that if the plan worked it would
be a great aid to the political situ
ation on campus. But if past ex
perience is any criteria, I doubt
sincerely that the move will mean
much more than similar moves in
the past."
"If UP wants equitable dorm rep
resentation, why don't they do
away with the organizational re
presentatives and allow individual
membership in .the party?" com
mented Ken Penegar,. long time
Student Party Member;' K -
Meantime, University Party
workers were visiting dormitory
presidents in order to get dormi
tory representatives for their meet
ing next week. Walt McFalL UP
chairman, called it an effort "to
fill Roland Parker lounge with as
many dorm representatives as pos
sible Tuesday night."
The reorganizational move by
UP provides that every dormitory,
sorority and fraternity would have
one representative on the party's
steering committee. The steering
committee is the governing body in
the party and makes all nomina
tions, handles all publicity, and
regulates finances.
In addition to the one repre
sentative for each residence house,
there will be additional ones for
every 25 students.
Announcing the revamping move
as the ' "first major structural
change in 28 years UP leaders
made it clear they were trying to
make the party lose fraternity dom
ination. If the plan is carried out,
there will be more dormitory rep
resentatives in he party than fra
ternity and sorority representativ
es. UP has, however, made structural
changes in the past of a similar
nature to foster dormitory interest
in the nartv. This rhanffe does dif
fer slightly from those in the past
in that it provides at least one def
inite seat for every dormitory. :'
Former Student Party floorlead
er Gene Cook commented doubt
fully on the change too. He said,
"Just wait and see who their
candidates will be this spring.
Student Party supporters hinted
that the UP plan may set off ear
lier campaigning in the battle for
spring elections.
A MISUNDERSTANDING

'There seems to be a misunder
standing regarding the pictures
to be used in this years' Yackety

Involved, there can be no more
changes in pictures or layouts.
The book is now behind schedule
and must go in as it is now.

Reports "on the' progress of the
polio campaign, pouring in from
all sections of the state gave state
headquarters here a big lift yester
day. However, Mrs. Phillips Russell,
state director of organization, cau
tioned volunteer workers against
a let-up.
"The campaign is nearing a close
and this is the time to put forth
our best effort," she urged. Cam
paign workers should be sure that
every person is given a chance to
contribute, she said.
State Campaign Chairman Thad
Eure, Raleigh, who spent several
hours at state campaign headquar
ters here Wednesday, stressed the
fact that - a' -successful ' vaccine
against polio appears to be in sight.
This, he said, "should provide an
added incentive to all our citizens
to make a special effort to assure
success of this year's campaign."
He expressed confidence that
this year's record state quota of
$1,250,000 will be met "provided
the volunteer campaign workers
put forth their best efforts during
the few remaining days of the
campaign."
"With a signal victory over this
dread disease, which strikes more
victims each year, apparently not
far away, we cannot afford to
falter in our efforts at this stage
Chairman Eure said.
One of the most unusual activi
ties reported so far, Mrs. Russell
said,-was a massive parade in Rob
binsville in which some 1500 school
children marched. Also in the pa
rade, riding in convertibles, were
local children who had been strick
en with polio. The polio victims
were escorted by the Girl Scouts to
places -of- honor during 'a short
ceremony, according to Dr:" Nettie
Parrette,. chairman of the Graham
county drive. ; ; "
Dr. Riley Jordan, Raef ord, chair
man for Hoke county, reports that
various activities, including bene
fit suppers, a beauty contest, and
a Mothers' March have been held.
Caldwell county has scheduled-a
Mother's March tonight (Thursday).
Kearney C. Pearce, Lenoir, county
Mnn chairman, reports that this
is the "'Big" week in Caldwell coun
ty, with schools, industrial and mer
chants divisions to wind up their
drives."
A Mother's March is planned in
Ahoskie and Murfreesboro tonight
according to L. K. Overton, Hert
ford county chairman.

Study Grants
Three outstanding UNC seniors
out of a field of 58, have been
nominated for consideration for
1953 - 54 Morehead Scholarship
awards - .
"..The, -three ft are James-. Andrew
Bell , Jr., -' Greensboro; ;r Hamilton.
Cowles Horton 'Jr.-, Winston-Salem,
and Robert Chandler Vaughan Sr.,
also of Winston-Salem. These sUr
dents will appear before the Cen
tral Committee in Chapel Hill along
with nominees from other institu
tions on March 2 or 3.
The value of a Morehead Gradu
ate Scholarship is $1,500 a year.
The value of a Morehead Under
graduate Scholarship is $1,250 a
year. The tenure of a Morehead
Scholarship is dependent upon the
maintenance by the scholar of a
standard of work and conduct
which, in the opinion of the trus
tees, justifies his scholarship.
In making the appointments,
nominating committees regarded
the qualities laid down by 'J. M

cializes In theories aimed at ac
counting for the birth," evolution
and final destiny of the universe.
It is this branch of science that
forms the basis for the dramatic
production at the Morehead
Planetarium in February.
The magic of the great Zeiss
projector and numerous special
effects is used to present and
dramatize some of the most start

on Instructional Personnel, Chair
man Clifford P. Lyons said yester
day. His committee was told earli
er by Chancellor Robert House to
draw up a program for adding the
Saturday morning classes here.
It was pointed out yesterday that
this should not be considered a
move against the student program
opposing Saturday classes. A South
Building official reminded students
that "we following orders. The
Trustees didn't ask us if we want
ed them; they told us to put them
in." The Administration has op
posed Saturday classes. ,
The Executive Committee of (he
Board of Trustees voted Nov. 10,
1952 to put in the six-day system
here. (State and Woman's College
already have it). The Executive
Committee said it was concerned
over the number of students leav
ing the University on the week
ends.
Dean Lyons said yesterday that
his committee will make the fol
lowing recommendations to the
Faculty Council which will meet at
4 p.m. in the Manning Hall court
room: "1. That the Saturday class re
quirement be implemented by the
adoption of the semester system.
"."2- That the semesteV system be
gin ' with tie Fall term, 1953.
"3. That in converting from the
quarter to the semester system ad
justments be worked out at the
nearest possible equivalents: cours
es, curricular requirements, bud
gets and teaching loads.
"4. That the administration re
quire a balanced distribution in
class scheduling by departments
and schools of the M-W-F, T-Th-S,
sequences, and require a reasona
bly balanced registration by stu
dents in the two sequences.
"5. That the administration al
low deviation from the normal
calendar pattern which is adopted
to an extent clearly required by ex
ceptional circumstances in post
baccalaureate professional . pro
grams. -
"6. That, further, with respect to
'a more effective utilization of stu
dents' time throughout the week'
the excellent' suggestions made by
departments, schools and cblleges
be summarized and submitted, to
appropriate undergraduate facul
ties and boards for their considera
tion and action."
The University's plan will be pre
sented to the Executive "Committee
at its meeting Feb. 9 in Raleigh.

Solons Revise
Election Law
OK Six Bills
The legislature last night chang
ed the method of nominating Stu
dent Council members and breezed
through six other Student Party
sponsored bills in about an hour.
An impartial Selections Board
will be established under the new
law, to make nominations for the
Student Council. Proponents of . the
bill, primarily SP, indicated that
political feeling had prejudiced de
cisions of the Student Council in
the past. The move, according to
John Ammons- (SP) - who -introduced
the Uill; is to 1ake -tit highest
court our of politics ' "
Tom McDonald (UP), sitting in
as UP floor leader during .Jack
Stilwell's illness, voiced opposition
to the bill. He said the move was
not done by the political parties,
but it "snatched it away from them
without their consent." : -
The six other bills had little
or no opposition. The absence of
seven UP legislators gave the ma
jority SP an even greater edge,
and bills were passed rapidly.
Passed were moves to: 1 re
quire candidates for office to put
sample cigarettes and candy on
their expense accounts. 2 resolved
that dorms should be sound-proofed
and "at the earliest possible
moment funds must be appropri
ated under Permanent Plant Im
provement to be used for sound
proofing purposes." 3 established
a committee to work out coed vis
iting hours to dormitory social
rooms. 4 establish a committee to
"investigate the possibility of open
quiz files." 5 establish a commit
tee to work on better communica
tions in dormitories. 6 resolved a
more liberal cut policy and to ap
point a committee to confer with
the Administration on the mat
ter. Manning Muntzing (SP), speaking
on the bill advocating setting up
of coed visiting .hours in men's
dormitories, cited the significance
of the coed visiting agreement
worked out at Connor dormitory.
The bill was passed without op
position. During debate on the Student
Council bill, Gordon Battle (UP)
asked Gene Cook, former SP leg
islator who was speaking on the
bill, "Do you know of any issues
where the Student Council voted
strictly along party lines?"
"Yes," replied Cook. He explain
ed after the session that he was
referring specifically to election
issues last spring.
Absent legislators were Jack
Stilwell (UP), Caroll Brady (UP),
Sandy Dann (UP), R. B. Fitch (SP),
Bob Grimes (UP), Gerry McBrayer
(SP), Gordon Forrestor (SP), Jake
Rountree (UP), Al Salley (UP),
Charles Swain (SP), and Charles
I Yarborough (SP-UP).
Horton Sees
Semester As
Aid In Fight
Student President Ham Horton
hailed the proposed semester sys
tem as something that "may be
a strengthening point for our argu
ment against Saturday classes."
.His complete statement:
"The decision of the facility com
mittee was, of course, expected.
They received instructions from
the Trustees 'to utilize Saturday
time' and had no choice but to
carry put those instructions.
"Their preference for a semester
system may be a strengthening
point for our argument against
Saturday classes when we consider
that:
"1. Under a semester system
each piece of scientific etc. equip
ment is used only twice a year.
We now use the apparatus three
times a year, resulting in a def
inite saving to the University.
"2. Under a semester system we
could have only one session for
summer school. The two sessions
we now have under the quarter
system make it possible for N. C.
public school teachers, for example,
to get their MA in one summer.
"3. The Trustees are justly con
cerned with student-faculty rela
each student will have twice as
tions. Under a semester system
each student will have twice as
many teachers as he now has. Each
teacher could have twice as many
students to know."

tions for spring elections Monday
night, party chairman Lew Southern
said, yestedray. .
The party is slated to meet at

larceny charge and was found guil
ty by the court. A 90-day sentence
awarded Bernard was suspended
by the court in favor of restitution
