The fraternity has been locally operated for the past three years. During that time it has been a col ony, a group which has petitioned and is waiting for its charter. In its 118 year history, Delta Up slion has been conseryative in the admission of new chapters requir ing a local petitioning group to be of great strength. This policy has resulted in onl four chapters go ing inactive over the 118 years. No other fraternity has a comparable record, according to Delta officials. The 118th anual convention of the fraternity gave the power to grant a charter to the UNC peti tioning society to the board of dir ectors. H. Norris Harrison, national chairman of petitioning societies from Centreville, Md., conducted of ficial inspections of the group last August and again in January. Ex-U.S. President James A.

Jewish Music Will Highlight Hillel Festival Sundav 3:30 o.m. at Hill Hall the B'nai B'rith Hillel Foundation will present its third annual festival of Jewish music. A special feature of the program will be the synagacgal cantillation of Cantor Aaron Earl Miller. From most ancient times, worship serv ices have been chanted, and many of the earliest musical forms have come down to modern times in pure form. Cantor Miller will illustrate how readings from the Pentateuch and from other writings are chant ed today, and how the traditional tunes attempted to describe both the content of a book and the sea son during which it is read. In addition he will sing a se lection from the Sabbath prayer book, with the assistance of a chor al group of Jewish students from Duke. As an example of a far different tradition, Ernest Bloch's "Three Nocturnes" will be played by a trio comprising Dorothy Alden, violin, Lydia Bernstein, piano, and Mary Gray Clarke, cello. To complete the program, the Women's Glee Club under the di rection of Joel Carter, will sing four numbers typical of various aspect of Jewish music, as the con One is Israeli; a second interprets the 23rd Psalm; the third is a Hebrew poem put to music, while the last "Lift Thine Eyes" (from the Oratorio Elijah by Mendels sohn) represents not so much an (See HILLEL, page 4) Reception Today The Student-Faculty Committee of SUAB will sponsor a discus sion this afternoon led by Dr. W.

UP Nominates Sfilwell En Close V-P Balloting Ed Gross Edged Out, 26-22; McLeod, Yarborough Picked To Run For Class President Offices By Louis Kraar Jack Stilwell edged out Ed Gross last night for University Party Party vice-presidential nomination by four votes. The vote was 26 to 22. Jerry Cook "received immediate acclamation for secretary-treasurer nomination. The Stilwell-Gross contest, which had been brewing in the political pot for many weeks now, came to a close after the balloting, as Gross pledged to support his opponent, 'Stilwell. "No election is won easily," de clared Stilwell in his bid for the nomination. "We'll have to cam paign and campaign hard." The UP vice-presidential pick commented on student apathy, cit ing as its cause the pettiness of party politics and campaigning. The solution to the problem of apathy, he said, is a platform "with i meat in it." He added he thought the party had such a platform. Gross, who had hinted some weeks ago that he was very much interested in the post, said he thought the vice-president was "more than just the speaker of leg islature." "I think we have an opportunity to do the campus a service," said Cross. "That service is to raise stu dent government in the eyes of the students." Stilwell has-been a member of Legislature for six quarters. Now UP floor leader, he is a' member of President Horton's cabinet and be longs to the Publications Board. He is from Charleston, S. C. George McLeod was picked to run for senior class president. Other senior class nominees were Russ Cowell, vice-president; Ann Street, secretary; Gordon Battle, treasurer; and Claire Boone, social chairman. Charles Yarborough was nomin ated for sophomore class president. Other UP sophomore class choices were Bill Sanders, vice-president; Bev Webb, secretary; Gaither Wal ser, treasurer; and Landon Lewis, social chairman. Principal speaker for Stilwell was Sol Cherry. "He is willing to shake the hand of every student ' on campus, if necessary," declare d Cherry. Other speakers for Stilwell were Mary Helen Crain and George Mc Leod. Speaking for Gross, Dan Perry said, "If he was good enough to beat Ken Penegar last spring for secretary-treasurer, he can beat any ISP man running now."

Gorham said Wolfsheimer will coordinate the activities of a group of students interested in his can didacy. Wolfsheimer is no newcomer to politics having managed Ted Frank- el's independent campaign for vice president last Spring, and he is now serving as president of the Junior Class. Gorham stated in appointing Wolfsheimer, "Lou is one of the most capable men I've met at Caro lina. His sincere interest in and knowledge of student affairs has prompted me to call upon him to coordinate my campaign." Gorham also said, "Student gov ernment is of immediate interest to every student. We must not cloud this interest with an avalanche of petty political issues. We shall go to the students and talk with them about their ideas. There are going to be no fancy political theories; instead we are going to emphasize the common sense approach to stu dent government."

Jones Fails To Mention Probe In Speech To Raleigh Church RALEIGH, March 3 (Special) The Rev. Charles M. Jones, who. last week was fired as pastor of the Chapel Hill Presbyterian Church, said here last night that "the church as an institution often becomes the denier of Christian freedom." Mr. Jones addressed an audience of 700 persons at the closing ses sion of the Institute of Religion at the United Church here, a South ern Presbyterian church. Purpose of the institute, which is sponsored and supported by the church, is to get open forum discussion of the vital religious, social and political issues in the light of Christian eth ics. To Solons viewed the show at the Tower Theater here, where it has played to capacity audiences for two weeks, apparently were aiming their blast at one of the songs in the show, rather than at the entire production. In amplifying their statement, Rep.

After his talk Mr. Jones was ask ed whether he thought that his lib eral views on race relations consti tuted the main reason for his dis missal. "I don't think it was the main is sue . . . Maybe some didn't like the way I part my hair." The - non-segregated audience heard Mr. Jones speak on "Some Problems of Religious Freedom".

"We are not supplying the es sential resources and yet are ex pecting our schools to turn out first-rate raw material for citizen ship," Griswold said. He spoke at a luncheon yesterday at the Caro lina Inn where participants in the State of the University conference gathered to hear him. Asserting that the nation would do well to return to the funda mental principles of its founders, President Griswold said "we are so distracted by other things that we have lost sight of the important roie our schools and colleges can j piay in the souls and minds of men."

"I'm asking you ... to help in ventory . . . the university," Gray said as he addressed the opening assembly of the first Conference on the State of the University. Gray added that he hoped the conference would-be an annual affair. Speaking in Carroll Hall, hand some; new central building of the Business Administration School, Gray concentrated his talk on a "point of departure" for the con ference which has brought together here nearly 20 professors from Woman's College, State College as well as Chapel Hill. Gray defined this point as "asking the question of whether we cannot . . . find a common purpose and identify a common goal?" Gray said he originally planned to talk on "The State of the Uni versity" but would entitle his talk "Some Observations on a Univers ity." Modesty, "not wholly false," laziness and insufficient knowledge of the subject for formal prepara tion made him switch topics, the Consolidated University president said. "My spirit of participation with you is really one of asking rather than telling," he told his audience. Gray said there must not be too much "breast beating" and pride in previous achievements but that we must "look to the heritage of the past for motivations, momen tum and momentous challenge." "I am prepared to acknowledge we live in an age of technology," he said with a grin, then added that his 12-year-old son reproached him for not knowing that flying saucers really exist because the magazine Boy's Life says so. "Must not university help us to maintain social and moral purpose in this technical age?" the presi dent asked. Indeed it must, ac cording to Gray, who said the uni versity must forge ahead forceful ly and "guide from within its own change while adjusting to outside change." Gray urged the professors go to into the conference seminars "with out inhibition . . . each of you par ticipating frankly, fully and criti cally where you are so motivated." In conclusion he said that he did not expect the conference to "solve everything . . . There will be plen ty of time in years to come to solve some of the problems we face ... I have high hopes; I think we have accomplished much by sim ply getting together." Dr. "Logan Wilson, recent aca demic provost here and now presi dent of the University of Texas, sent a letter which was read by Chairman Howard Odum. Dr. Wilson said in part: "(The conference is) one which very pro fitably might be carried on through out the country ... In my opinion it is high time that universities, es pecially state universities, redefine their fundamental objectives."
