Not Quitting
Friendly Spirit,
Horton Replies
President Ham Horton yesterday
said that "no one was quitting or
trying" about the Consolidated
University Student Council.
Reacting to an editorial yester
day in The Daily Tar Heel called
'Quitters and Crybabies," the
chief executive of the student body
clarified his stand on the contro
versy over the three school group
"No one is quitting or crying
unless our not wanting to sell
Carolina's student body down the
river can be termed quitting or
crying," said Horton.
'We are working now to sub
stitute a plan of student consolf-
dation which will bring the stu
dent .bodies together voluntarily
rather than forcibly. We must have
unity instead of uniformity," he
added
The editorial Horton criticized
said that both Horton and Jim
Adams were 'quitters" for drop
ping out of the CUSC. It said that
improvements from within the
group would accomplish more than
quitting.
The CUSC consists of delegates
from Carolina, State and Woman's
College who meet quarterly to act
as a liaison between the student
body and the administration of the
Consolidated University.
Adams, president of the Carolina
GUSC delegation, quit the group
last month. Horton said he wasn t
going to appoint anyone to fill his
seat because he "is inclined to
lagree with the things said in his
i-esignation." The resignation tag
ged the CUSC a "gag for student
opinion."
Yesterday Horton explained that

Hiss May Testify Soon
On Communists In UN
By Alice Chapman
If you found salt in the sugar
bowl this morning or heard
screams of "April Fool," you
merely were partaking in a cus
tom centuries old. The origin of
All Fool's Day is obscured in tales
of the past but many find the
source in mythology.
The Romans celebrated Cerealia
each year on the first day of April.
The occasion was to the memory
of Prosperina's kidnapping by
Pluto. Legend says that Prospermia
was picking daffodils when Pluto
found her and carried her scream
ing to the underworld. Ceres, her
mother heard echoes of th
screams but her search was like
a fool's errand for she could not
find the echoes
For centuries the Feast of Huli
occurred in India on March 31
People were sent on foolish er
rands for the 24 hours until April
.arrived.
April first began as a fool's day
when Charles IX reformed the
calendar in 1564. A number of
conservatives objected to the
change
year's calls and exchanging gifts on
April first which had previously
been New Year's Day, the objec
tors sent mock gifts. Anyone re
ceiving a gift was labeled, "Pois-
son d'Avril," April fish.
The April fooling practice be
came common in England at the
beginning of the 18th century.
Settlers to the new country
brought the custom to America.
Scots labeled April fools as April
gowks for the Scott gowk is a
cukoo.
This custom proved disturbing
to the Aquarium and Zoological
Garden in New York a few years
ago. Offices all over the city were
telling their desk men that Mr.
Camel or Mr. Fish at number so-
and-so wanted them to call. The
Garden has since started discon
necting its phones on April first.
History has been changed by
this yearly farce. Francis, Duke
of Lorraine, and wife escaped ac
tivity from Nantes on April first,
Pressed -.as peasants the couple
started past the sentries when they
were recognized. The guards ahead
were alerted but the laughing
Duke shouted "Poisson d'Avril,"
and the couple passed out the
gates to freedom.
Victims of practical jokes find
comfort in the fact the after April
first any joker can be ridiculed by
this delightful diddy:
"April fool is gone and past
You're the biggest fool at last."

Seven seats are to be filled in the
Spring election 'on April 15. Three
are coed seats, : one is to be filled
by a man and the other three are
at large seats, one of which is to
be filled by a graduate student.
There are no specific require
ments for Student Council except
that each student be at least a junior.
The Selection Board is a result
of a bill passed this quarter in the
Legislature. The board picks stu
dents it considers qualified and
their names appear on the ballot.
Student voters choose from among
those listed by the board as well
as any independents who may have
declared.

The coed is selected on a basis of
leadership, service, character and
scholarship. A selection commit
tee composed of six representatives
makes the selection. Representa-;
sorority, Dean of Women's office,
Dean of Student's office, dean of
awards and a non-student group.
Last year the award went to Mel
Stribbling of Clarksdale, Miss. The
award is presented by the Dean of
Women Katherine K. Carmichael.
Tapping for the Order of the
Golden Fleece is generally held at
the Sing, but will be later this
year.
ROMANTIC MEXICO was the
aim of 10-year-old Anne Marie
Dulas when she attempted to
pawn a set of china and a wrist
watch in order to obtain money
for the trip. The pawn-shop's
owner called police, and then
"bargained" with Anne until
they arrived. The girl finally
agreed to wait until she could
save up more money. Her wor
ried parents agreed that might
be a good idea. NEA Telephoto.

Some university or other located at West Durham recently boast
ed of giving 1,008 pints of blood to the Red Cross for use by the
Armed Forces. That record will be attacked next week by Caro
lina students, faculty members and townspeople.
The familiar cry of "Beat Dook" will inspire the blood drive and
a goal of 1,009 has been set by campaign pushers. A Red Cross
Bloodmobile will be at Graham Memorial on Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday of next week. Donors may schedule appointments on
those days between 11 a.m. and 4:40 p.m.
Bill Roth, co-chairman of the blood program, said yesterday per
sons interested in donating should phone 5611 or 9-1881 or stop by
the Graham Memorial office
The blood collected through the drive will be used for two pur
poses: Most will go overseas to the Armed Forces, while some will
be kept in this country for immediate use in combating polio epi
demics. Prizes will be given for blood donated during this drive. The
organization with less than 100 members which contributes the most
will receive passes to the Varsity Theater. The group with more
than 100 members will be awarded a trophy.
Donors should not eat any fatty foods within three hours of "their
appointment. Single minors (under 20 years and six months of age)

TOKYO A wary United Nations
Command told the Communists yes
terday to get down to business if
their startling new offers to end
the Korean fighting are sincere.
Gen. Mark Clark, U. N. Far East
commander, said he would agree
to reopen the suspended armistice
talks if the Reds agree to details of
exchanging sick and wounded war
prisoners. Meanwhile, Red China's
offer to settle the prisoner of war
issue was delivered formally to
U. N. General Assembly President
Lester R. Pearson. He said at first
glance the message appeared to be
similar to Chou's message.
MOSCOW The Soviet Union can
be expected to give its full support
at the United Nations to the new
Korean prisoner of war offer by
Chinese Premier Chou En-lai. So
viet chief delegate Andrei Y. Vish
insky has just returned to the U. N.
Assembly meeting in New York
after consultations here with the
new Russian leadership. Optimism
has soared in diplomatic circles
here since it is believed that the
chances for peace are better now
than at any time since the Korean
truce talks began.
BERLIN Russia yesterday sug
gested an early four-power confer
ence to write a peace treaty for de
feated and divided Germany and to
reunite the nation now split by the
Iron Curtain. The proposal was
made by the Soviet military com
mander for Germany, Gen. Vassily
I. Chuikov. who also heads the Rus

Mary was buried yesterday beside
her husband, King George V, while
Queen Elizabeth H and the Duke
of Windsor wept openly at the cof
fin. The 85-year-old queen who died
last Tuesday was buried in simple
family ceremonies in St. George's
Chapel within the walls of Windsor
Castle, seat of Britain's rulers from
the time of William the Conqueror.
Remnants of Europe's dwindling
royalty many related by blood to
the house of Windsor gathered for
the second time in little more than
a year to mourn the passing f a
royal Briton. .George VI was buried
in the family vault in February,
1952.
