He outlined four duties which he said he thought the vice-president should perform. The duties: 1. To serve as speaker of Legis lature as fairly as possible. 2. To consider it his duty to know what the students think in order to represent them. 3. To work in close harmony with the other branches of student government as an executive rep resentative of the students. 4. To report back to the stu dents about what Legislature and the other branches of student gov ernment are doing. Brown said that each side of Leg islature must have "the same op portunities to express their views." He added, ."Otherwise Legislature becomes a political battleground ; with the students supplying the military funds." Referring to the promise to re port back to the students, Brown declared, "Even in such an import ant thing as the student govern ment budget hasn't been distribut ed in the past. The students haven't even been told how their money is spent. "The vice-president, by perform ing these four duties, can be one of the most important student rep resentatives. Only in these ways will he be fulfilling the trust put in him by the students on election day."

Y., April 6 (Spe cial) Governor Dewey recently approved a bill making it an un fair educational practice for uni versities to accept any endowment or gift of money conditioned on the teaching of any racial super iority doctrine. Dewey said he was "fully in ac cord with the purpose of the pro- posal." He added that the measure had the support of the Associa-1 tion of Colleges and Universities of the State of New York. The aim of this measure is to avoid in New York a situation that has occurred frequently in several southern states. People have of fered large "gifts to small colleges if they would consent to teach the coctnne at -"wtute su premacy" in their classes. Governor Dewey emphasized that the new law would be in a section of the education law that could be enforced only if a com plaint was made by a person wish ing to enter a college or university. He suggested amending it next year to allow the state to move without having to wait for an in dividual protest.

However, no legal action was underway yesterday despite the failure; of houses to begin actual construction. This is in line with the local interpretation of the code to ' the code to the effect that "definite progress"' is indicated by the obtaining of estimates and let ting of bids. April 5 marked the close of a 0-day time limit set by Chapel Hill Building Inspector P. L. Burch back in January when big "Con demned" signs were tacked on the front doors of every Greek-letter house in town except one. The local officials acted under state law which requires all boarding houses to furnish two unobstruct ed means of egress for all occu pants above the first floor. In January, only one fraternity house, the Chi Psi Lodge, avoid ed being condemned. Greek-letter Fire Escape Chair man Julius Rousseau said yester day all houses were showing posi tive progress toward removing fire hazards. Apparently a ready liaison does not exist between the condemned houses and the building inspector, for Burch was of a different opin ion yesterday. He said only a few houses had shown any definite progress towards complying with the order. For those houses who don't act quickly, he said, he had no choice under the law but to turn the cases over to the town attorney for legal action. He ad vised .house presidents to "get on the ball right quick." Burch indicated town rooming houses would be required to meas ure up to the fire laws the same as fraternity and sorority houses. None has been condemned yet, he said, because the fire department has not completed its inspction of the many rooming houses in Chap el Hill. Most of the Greek-letter houses are bargaining as a group with three construction companies, seeking the lowest possible bid for the collective job. J.J.

But I can safely say that the smiling, square-jawed son of Mrs. Nettie Tilghman is the bravest man I've ever seen.

PANMUNJOM Peace hopes grew brighter yesterday as the United Nations told Communist negotiators they were ready to return 500 ailing Red soldiers daily within a week after agree ment was reached on a swap of sick and wounded prisoners. The UN offer was in a nine point program put before the Reds at a 48-minute opening talk on the exchange of ailing prison ers. The talks may lead to re sumption of armistice negotia tions. The UN negotiators said the "first Allied-Communist talks in T UN 'Makes Ofror Of Prisoner S Hopefuls Give Ideas As Campaigning Boils By Louis Kraar The campaigning that everyone has called so cool this quarter boiled over last night in Memorial Hall as political candidates laid their ideas on the line. The meeting was planned for the students to meet the candidates, but turned out for candidates to meet their opponents. Dusty Lam son prefaced the speeches by read ing the election laws. Then the political pyrotechnics commenced. "I'm not a professional politi cian," Bob Gorham, University Party presidential candidate, said. "I'm interested in the Carolina way of life and have certain ideals about this. I think the University jParty best represents these ideals. I want to be president, but I shall not be a politician to accomplish that." Next up to bat, on an independ ent team, was Wade Matthews, tured movements of a man on stilts. Yet he looked up from his wheelchair, and with hum ble gratefulness in his honest eyes, sent home his thanks for the blood that saved his life.

Both sides agreed to meet at 9 p.m. E.S.T. Monday. The Communists raised the possibility of sending some cate gories of sick and wounded pris oners to neutral countries for the duration of hostilities.

"I believe the election of president should be taken out of partisan politics," the former member of both, campus political parties said. He outlined his platform, emphasizing the need for "a sort of citizens' com mittee of students for better stu dent government." Ken Penegar, Student Party presidential candidate, launched an atomic blast on the UP admin istration. He said that Horton's ad ministration "is trying to wreck student government or just does n't give a damn." He ran down the year's issues, poking the op position in its executive ribs on each one and said he wanted "a little more action and a lot less reaction." Penegar concluded, "Let's ring down the curtain on this comic opera called 'Nothing to Do about Anything.' " Tommy Sumner, another inde pendent and the last one to enter the presidential race, said, "Party membership is a handicap to any elected official of our student gov ernment." Sumner introduced his campaign talk with a sharp blast at The Daily Tar Heel, declaring that his statement had previously been "badly cut up" by the pub lication. (A check of the files re vealed Sumner's statement ran almost in its entirety on March E9.) Next came the vice presidential hopefuls, starting with independ ent Bill Brown, who said that most students "think the vice president should keep independent of party politics." He said he would, if elected. Baxter Miller (SP) lingered on the question of student apathy. "Do you think it (student apathy) could possibly be caused by the do-nothingness of the president?" He paused dramatically. "Why, sure it is," he added emphatically. Jack Stilwell (UP) said the vice presidency was "not an easy job. I believe the vice president should be the right hand man to the pres ident." Stillwell said the UP went around to the students to get their platform planks, instead of "sit ting up in a smoke-filled room and 1 deciding for the students." 1 xtr tzzt if SEOUL American Marines bat tled with 200 Chinese early yes terday in no-man's-land close to the Panmuniom truce site, kill ing or wounding 63 Reds in a brief but bitter clash.

Homer Ferguson (R-Mich) asserted yes terday that bad planning by the Truman administration was a basic cause of ammunition shortage in Korea. Ferguson heads a Senate Military Appropriations subcom mittee which is investigating Gen. James A.

Fourth in the current series of nu clear explosions, yesterday's was the first this year to be triggered in daylight. The flash flared to the northwest at 7:30 a.m. (10:30 a.m. EST). As in last week's third test, no troops were in the field. Ob servers noted many planes in the air before the flash. The Air Force has said it might have as many as 74 craft aloft at one time.
