The UP platform deals mainly with issues much discussed cur rently and in the past. It agrees, in fact, with four of these which were included the Student Party's platform released last week. UP and SP planks in agreement are: cigaret and candy machines in dormitories, a new student union huilding, visiting privileges for women in men's dorms, and im provements in the advisor system. The UP platform carries the statement, "You have made these suggestions; we pledge to carry them out!" And listed beneath are the 15 planks. FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla.

Today is the final day in the current UNC drive. There was hope that UNC would beat Duke University in the number of pints given, but a drive official said yesterday it would be im possible unless more students turn out today. The blood donations are being taken in the main lounge of Graham Memorial. It is de scribed as a painless process that requires only about 30 minutes. Appointments may be made by calling 9-1881 or 5611. The lounge will be open at 11 o'clock this morning and close at 5 p.m. Starting salaries for much-sought June graduates is estimated about Charles Billings of Dudley, Ken $25, or five to 10 percent better tnan last year or any year previous,.

The winner in the election, which is a penny-a-vote contest, wilj be presented at the carnival on April 17. The deadline for entering con testants will be Saturday and a pic ture of each aspirant must be turn ed in to Bob Skillen at the Theta Chi house before that date. No make-up may be used in the pictures; only natural photographs and natural distortions of the face will be acceptable. ID cards may be used. Placement officers of some bU colleges and universities across the country estimated starting salaries for June graduates will average well over $300 a month, and some specially trained students are con sidering "bids" as high as $600. There are plenty opportunities for non-specialized liberal arts graduates, although engineers, ac countants, sales personnel and . a . t a ai l:.i teacners appear to neau iue i for job opportunities. Although it is estimated that 50 to 85 percent of the male class of 1953 will be working for Uncle Sam before the year is out, the University of Tennessee reported 95 percent of business and indus try recruiters are willing to hire young men for whatever training period is possible before their draft numbers come up, counting on their return to the job after dis charge. Estimates on the demand for en gineering graduates ranged from a conservative two jobs for every graduate at Carnegie Institute of Technology to a frantic report from Kansas State College where 80 firms are battling for 24 June graduates in mechanical engineer ing.

Lowet listed the following ex perience and qualifications: UN Committee chairman, dormitory manager, student legislature, State student legislature, Di Senate, Ar nold Air Society and Orientation Counsellor.

Greensboro Dance Girls Skits Students Lose If Move Made, Erickson Says The athletic department sawed part of the Student Party's plat form out from under it yesterday with an explanation on athletic fees. "That is the most ridiculous sug gestion I have ever heard of," com mented Director of Athletics C. P. (Chuck) Erickson on one of the leading campaign promises. The controversial issue was a pledge by the SP to abolish pay ment of fees to the Athletic Asso ciation. The campus political party wants abolition of both the $10 gym fee and the $3.33 Carolina Athletic Association fee which all students pay each quarter. On the $3.33 fee Erickson said, "The students alone would lose by such a move." Then he went on to explain the uses of the Athletic Association fee. The fee entitles the student, in part, to admission to UNC athletic events, use of outdoor facilities, provides for the upkeep of facili ties, salaries of coaches, pays for athletic equipment and makes up the loss incurred by every Carolina sport, except football. As for the $10 gym fee, the ath letic director said, "The fee was instituted by the students them selves, and the Athletic Association has never raised it. The fee is $10 and gives each student at least $90 a year in benefits." The $10 fee pays for all gym ex penses, including janitorial service and approximately $12,000 yearly to pay the bond issue originally floated to build the gym. Student Party politicians have been particularly keen on this plat form idea, and have stressed it throughout the campaign as one of their leading issues. Gordon For ester, SP treasurer candidate, has deplored the fact that students who don't participate in the athletic program have to pay the fee. Vernon Crook, Athletic Associa tion business manager, recently finished a report to Gordon Gray, president of the Consolidated Uni versity. It deals with the fees, along with other matters. The re port also touches on the history of the fee. In 1876 the students banded to gether and taxed themselves to support the physical education pro gram, which includes all athletics, according to Crook's report. In 1913 a petition; signed by 551 of approximately 800 students en rolled in the University, requested that the Board of Trustees origin ate a fee not less than $2.50 nor more than $3 per quarter. It is still rather ambiguous just how the fee went up the extra 33 cents, accord ing to the report. Student fees comprise about one- eighth of the athletic fund. In the fall quarter, a student may see over $18 worth of football games as a member of the Athletic Association. "The Athletic Association would make more money without the stu dent fund plan, but we have never tampered with it because the stu dents provided for it," Erickson said. "We are in favor of the fee plan because it gives each student a part in Carolina Athletics. If a student is a member, he will be more prone to participate. The teams need sup port from the student body, and a student body with spirit is a great asset to the University as a whole. If the students didn't pay the fee, fewer would participate," Erickson added. Students now have a voice in the Athletic Association through three student members on the Athletic Council. The student members of the Council are the president of the student body, Monogram Club president and Carolina Athletic As sociation president.
