UNC Follows
Salary Lead
For Nurses
The University's new hospital
isn't driving nursing salaries up
with its own pay scale, merely fol
lowing the rates of comparable hos
pitals, Dr. Robert Cadmus, direc
tor of Memorial Hospital, said yes
terday. Furthermore, the director added,
he hoped the Chapel Hill hospital
could increase its salaries from
$220 to $240 a month if the Gen
eral Assembly appropriates the in
stitution's budget requests.
So far, every hospital request has
gone through committee uncut.
This includes $823,190 recommend
ed by the Advisory Budget Com
mission and an additional $713,765
recommended by the appropria
tions subcommittee in the legisla
ture. However, the hospital's $716,765
emergency request was sharply
questioned in committee this week.
Rep. Ed. O'Herron of Mecklenburg
said the Chapel Hill hospital is
working nurses shorter hours at
higher wages. University hospital
nurses get $220 a month compared
to $210 at Charlotte Memorial, he
asserted.

The local chapter f o Phi Delta Theta will not take any formal
action on the stand of the Williams College house which has pledged
a Jew despite a "white Aryan" clause in the national constitution.
Phi Delt President -Bert E. Harrell of Morganton said yesterday
his group here would not vote be-$-
cause "we fell like it'd be a lost
cause a year and a half ahead of
(convention time." Phi Delta Theta
will hold its biennial national con
vention in 1954 and at that time
the constitution could be changed.
"Right now," Harrell added,
"we're standing by the constitution
as written."
A Phi Delt spokesman at Oxford,
Ohio, the fraternity's national
headquarters and founding place,
said there is a feeling among many
members that the constitution
should be amended. However, any
suspensions incurred by local chap
ters Williams was suspended
will have to remain in force until
the 1954 convention.
Meanwhile, at Brown University
in Providence, R. I., Phi Delt Presi
dent Robert Jacobsen said his
chapter plans to pledge several
Jewish students. Several other
chapters already have given the
Williams branch their moral sup
port. Phi Delta Theta, one of the larg
est social fraternities in existance,
has 115 chapters in 43 states and
six Canadian provinces.

Purpose of the programs,
which" were successful last quar

entertainment not otherwise
available ot the viewing public in
this area," according to Bill Roth,
Graham Memorial Director. This
is a non-profit division of SUAB
and operates on funds obtained
from series membership.
"This organization was created
in response to repeated requests
for this type entertainment,"
added Roth. He urged students
to obtain their tickets now at
Graham Memorial "for the low
series price of $1.50."
Lowet Knocks
Independents
Who Left SP
Henry Lowet, unsuccessful can
didate for the Student Party vice-
presidential nomination, took a
swing at independent candidates
Wade Matthews and Bill Brown
yesterday.
"The two independent candidates
who have tossed their hats into the
political ring sought refuge in the
'rank and file,' as they state, 'of
the student body.' Wade Matthews
and Bill Brown are persons well
versed in student politics who lost
in the race for the vice-presidential
nomination in the Student Party.
"Upon learning of their defeats,
both Matthews and Brown vowed
their continued support of the Par
ty's program and candidates. With
in ten days both had filed as in
dependent candidates for top posts,
denouncing the party which they
had pledged to support. Yet Brown
and Matthews had fought hard to
win a party nomination and were
exceptionally willing to accept an
endorsement.
"This sort of action seems pe
culiar to juniors who have an ap
petite for becoming, 'campus dig
nitaries' in their senior year. They
are willing to sacrifice everything
to fulfill their desires, even if it
means attacking their former as
sociates to provide meat for an
'independent' campaign."
Lowet, , Matthews and Brown
were defeated in their bids for the
SP vice-presidential backing. A
runoff between Lowet and Baxter
Miller gave Miller a 27-22 victory.

Offers Platform
With 9 Planks,
Attacks Parties
By Louis Kraar
Tommy Sumner, a senior and
former Student Party treasurer,
announced his candidacy for pres
ident yesterday making the field
four strong in the race for the
campus' top post.
Sumner is the second indepen
dent candidate to file for the post.
He is from Asheville and a chem
istry and mathematics major. Wade
Matthews is the other independent
in the race. The two party candi
dates are Bob Gorham (UP) and
Ken Penegar (SP).
"As the campus political parties
are constituted, they actually rep
resent no one but themselves,"
said Sumner. "Their' opinions are
not made subject to the scrutiny
of the student body as a whole
unless the matter is at issue dur
ing an election," he added,
i He cited President Horton's han
jdling of the Saturday class fight
as an example of a job well done
"despite the uncalled for, adverse
comments of one of his political
enemies." He did not mention who
the enemy was.
The 23-year-old independent
opened his campaign with a nine
point platform. The platform prom
ised:
1. To reflect student opinion.
2. To find a nation wide student
voice, NSA or another.
.3. To revise the system of pay
ing for Student Entertainment pro
grams by establishing a subscrip
tion plan or presenting more than
one " performance of a giveri""pro
gram.. 4. To establish a more liberal
class cut policy.
5. To submit to the students the
present plan of voting districts "so
that it may be written into the
constitution and removed from the
constant partisan juggling of the
past."
6. To take action to "stop abuse
by students of the privilege of
keeping automobiles at the Uni
versity" in order to prevent Trus
tee action which would prohibit
student cars.

Survey Job
Of University
Is Continuing
A Northern firm of management
engineers is entering its fifth week
of surveying the administrative or
ganization and financial operations
of the three institutions of the Con
solidated University.
"The overall purpose of the sur
vey," President Gordon explained
recently, "is to assist the Woman's
College, State College and the Uni
versity in Chapel Hill in insuring
the most productive and beneficial
use of all its resources. The survey
is not being made with any idea of
retrenchment."
"The adequacy of its staff, build
ings and equipment and other fac
tors involved inits ability to per
form its mission will be consider
ed." Gray said, "and it will include
consideration of the long-range
plans of the University, as well as
its current operations."
The study will not be concerned
with classroom instruction or con
tent of courses offered at the three
institutions.
Gray, Controller W. D. Carmich
ael Jr. and Chancellors Harrelson,
Graham and House of the three
branches recommended the study
last September to the Executive
Committee of the Board of Trus
tees, which approved it.
The survey is being financed par
tially by the Fund for the Ad
vancement of Education, establish
ed by the Ford Foundation in con
junction with a program to assist
colleges and universities in many
sections of the country in strength
ening their administrative struc
tures and organizational proce
dures. The survey is being made by
Cresap, McCormick and Paget,
management engineers, with offi
cers in New York and Chicago.
Eldon C. Shoup, a partner in the
firm, and two associates, Walter
Vieh and Paul Gillen, arrived four
weeks ago to begin work on the
project.
Shoup, who has returned to the
North, said the firm in recent years
has made similar studies in a num
ber of colleges and universities,
preparatory schools and hospitals,
lege of Columbia University, Vas
including Davidson, Barnard Col
sar, Wellesley, Oberlin, Vanderbilt,
Yale, Rutgers, Syracuse and Colgate.
