JERRY COOK, WHO SAYS HE BELIEVES in originality, came up with this handbill for voters this
week. "Campaigns have almost got to the point of boredom," Cook said. "I just had to think of some
thing original." The Student Party, his opposition, didn't like the handbill because it "promoted a
lack of respect for student government." As for student reaction, it seemed to be summed up by one
fellow in Old West. "Now the politicians are getting on the ball," said the voter with a smile.
Ogden Nash's Doggerel
rnpresses Crowd Here
By J. D. Wright
Reciting and commenting on the background of his more than 8,000
light poems, Ogden Nash, delighted a Memorial Hall audience Tuesday
night. Some 600 people were present.
Giving a brief review of how he became a writer of humorous
poetry, Nash said he had beenS
writing since childhood, and wrote
his first poem when his sister was
about to get married: "Beautiful
Spring at last is here,' taking my
sister atjast I fear." This went on
for some 14 verses until he discov
ered his sister wa getting married
in January.
After a year at Harvard, Nash
said, "I developed good taste in
poetry and stopped , writing."
He then went to work for a pub
lishing house where he became
fascinated with bad poetry
thought it pathetic and wondered
what would happen if someone
Who knew the rules of poetry
wrote bad poetry consciously.
He discovered it paid off when
one day while in his office he
wrote, "You sit in your office at
242 Madison Avenue, and think you
have an important position haven't
you."
Having discovered what he terms
"a leak in the dike of the English
language," he sold the verse and
soon received a request for more.
Referring to himself as the
.''Candy is dandy, but liquor is
quicker" man, Nash said he had
never understood exactly what the
phrase means.
"An Evening with Ogden Nash"
was the last of a series of presen
tations for this school year by the
Student Entertainment Committee.
Aid Seekers
This Summer
Have Ti! May 1
The deadline for receiving appli
cations on Summer School scholar
ships has been extended to May 1,
Dean Guy B. Phillips said yester
day. "A few scholarships are still
open," Dean Phillips said yester
day, "and we . are ready to make
these available to qualified teach
ers if prompt application is made."
"They will cover the tuition and
expenses incurred during one of
the six-week summer terms, and
represent an unusual opportunity
for working teachers to extend
their professional study at no cost
to themselves," he said.
Application blanks may be se
cured by writing to Dean Phillips
office. The applications will be
reviewed by the Scholarship Com
mittee and the winners will be
notified promptly.
Previous college record, success
in teaching, and evidence of con
tribution to educational 'progress
in the local community will be
considered in the awards.

PANMUNJOM The Communists
offered yesterday to return some
600 ailing United Nations prison
ers possibly including only 100
Americans but the Allies protest
ed and asked for a recount. In
contrast to the Reds' offer, the
Allies proposed to turn over 5,800
ailing Communist prisoners, includ
ing 5,100 North Koreans and 700
Chinese. The Communists said they
would take the U. N. request under
consideration and junior officers
for both sides met after yesterday's
main meeting to work out the me
chanics of the exchange of the
sick and wounded.
UNITED NATIONS, N. Y
Russia's Andrei Y. Vishinsky ap
pealed to the West yesterday to
meet the Soviet Union "halfway"
on world disarmament proposals.
The General Assembly, however,
adopted a Western plan for dis-
armament talks despite the strong
appeal by the Russian Ambassador
to modify it in the interest of East-
West harmony. The vote was 52
to 5 Soviet block with three ab-
stentions.
WASHINGTON Senate investi
gators spoke somewhat warily
I yesterday of how far they intend
j to go in following up sworn tes
timony linking five Boston minis
ters to the Communist under
ground. Chairman Jenner (R-Ind)
said the Senate Internal Secuprity
subcommittee has made no decision
on the extent, if any, to which
its probe for Red influences in
education will branch out to en
compass the clergy. Sen. Hend
rickson (R-NJ), another subcom
mittee member, called it "a deli
cate matter" requiring careful con
sideration. SEOUL. United Nations infan
trymen yesterday turned back a
Chinese Communist drive for key
positions they apparently wanted
to hold during an armistice in Ko
rea. Allied troops along the battle
front smashed Red assaults on
Bunker Hill and other key U. N.
outposts while B-26 bombers drop
ped tons of explosives on a creep
ing convoy of 300 Red trucks. U.
N. bombers also blasted three rail
bridges and knocked out a Com

A Legal Loophole
No CUSC
j&nyrnore
riorfon
By Louis Kraar
The Consolidated University Stu
dent Council actually doesn't exist
anymore, President Ham Horton
said yesterday. ?-
He went on to explain his state
ment, "There can be no Carolina
CUSC committee because there is
no one to call a meeting." Horton
referred to the fact that Jim
Adams, head of Carolina's delega
tion to the three-school student
government group, quit last month.
"And there can be no CUSC,"
Horton continued, "because by the
very nature of the organization it
has to be made up of the entire
Consolidated University."
Horton quit the group also, say
ing that he thinks it is the only
way to revise the group. "If there
were any other way to revise the
CUSC, I would not have quit," Hor
ton said yesterday.
President Horton said he was
digging out the legal loopholes just
to prove a point that the problems
of the three schools are different
and must be dealt with differently.
In an effort : to iron out the
problems, Horton said he and other
CUSC officials were meeting with
William Friday, assistant to Presi
dent Gray, to work out another
plan of consolidated student gov
ernment.
. Meantime, observers are wonder
ing what's going to happen Satur
day morning at Greensboro when
the CUSC meets. Carolina will be
represented unofficially by a Con
solidated University Day commit
tee, said Horton; On - the other
hand, some of the remaining CUSC
committee said they were going to
do the representing.
Horton said that no one would
represent Carolina officially at the
meeting. He said the CU day com
mittee was only representing Car
olina as far as participation in the
day's program was concerned.

bers, Tom Creacy, who indicated

Gray Silent
On Student
As Trustee
President Gray had no comment
yesterday on the proposal to in
clude a student on the Board of
Trustees.
At a press conference held in
his office, the president said Trus
tee elections are not in the realm
of administration affairs, hence his
no comment. Anyway, he noted
students already are able to have
their opinions brought before the
Trustees. Students may be extend
ed privileges of the floor at the
Trustee meetings or have their
views voiced for them by a Trus
tee.
Commenting on the Consolidated
University Student Council, Gray
said that ."there are very few.
problems that are universal" for
Carolina, State and WC. The Con
solidated University president does
not expect the council to present
a united student viewpoint. He
does think, however, that the coun
cil should do much to forward un
derstanding and spirit among the
three schools.
The question of student automo
biles is under study, as a result
of Trustee and faculty requests,
Gray reported. The University now
sends out to parents of prospective
freshmen and transfers letters re
questing that students not bring
cars to the campus. Gray said that
no plan has been adopted to take
more strenuous action. WC students
do not have cars on their campus.
In the past, Gray .has raised the
question of student automobiles be
fore CUSC meetings, indicating that
they pose a serious problem to
the University.
Gray also announced that his
office will take direct action on
the findings of the faculty confer
ence as soon as he receives cor
rected and final reports from con
ference committee chairmen.

AFROTC Men
Are Visiting
Pope AF Base
Approximately 70 University
AFROTC Cadets are visiting Pope
Air Force Base today under the
guidance of Major Joe O. Young,
assistant professor of Air Science
and Tactics here.
The students are seniors, mem
bers of the Air Science rv Flight
Operations classes and of the Ar
nold Air Society.
During their visit, which is de
scribed as a routine orientation
tour, the cadets will observe the
facilities and functions of the Car
olina Air Base, visit Tactical Air
Command Operation Center, and
the Base Flight Operations Center,
and will witness a Tactical demon
stration of paratroop operations
performed by the famed 82nd Air
borne Division.
The cadets will have luncheon
at the Pope Field Base and will
dine in the evening at Pope Air
Force Base Officer's Club.
Blood Drive
Fails Goal
The campus blood drive fell 282
pints short of its 1,009-pint goal
yesterday.
Blood contributions yesterday
brought the total number of pints
given in the current drive to 727.
NROTC won the cup which is
presented each year to the organi
zation of over 100 members having
the best percentage of blood don
ors. The NROTC unit percentage
was 60.2 as compared with 13.1
per cent for the AROTC.
Red Cross officials said the num
ber of pints of blood given here
was not as large as expected in
view of the drive made for donors
made by campus organizations.

s
ment of the unjust athletic tax.
Anything that might rock their
boat of financial security will al
ways be labeled 'absurd'," Pene
gar continued.
"Why is it that that department
cannot go to the General Assembly
with requests for sufficient funds
to maintain the building (Woollen
Gym) and to pay for its construc
tion? Why should the students have
to pay your salaries and your mort
gages? That is the responsibility
of the state of North Carolina,"
Penegar declared.
The mortgages he referred to
amount to $12,000 yearly paid on
the bond issue originally floated
to help build the gym.
"The students here in 1876," con
tinued Penegar, "may have voted
to support the athletic department
with their taxes, but that was be
fore the time of active support
by the state. Neither does action
then have to bind the students
today.
"Furthermore, I don't believe
that the students want to continue
this burden today. This is a state
institution and education should
be provided at lowest possible cost
to the student.
"Let's see what the students
want on April 15th. In addition
to the general will of the students
that will be expressed in the elec
tion, I am proposing a referendum
on this particular issue, so that
the students can say whether they
want to continue subsidizing the
Athletic Department and Woollen
Gym to the tune of $40 a year."
Wednesday's Daily Tar Heel
story erroneously stated that the
SP wants to abolish all athletic
fees. The campus political party
wants payment of the fees put on
a voluntary basis.
Students pay $10 for gym fees
and $3.33 to the Carolina Athletic
Association a quarter.
SP officials said that many stu
dents have to pay the fees who
don't get to take advantage of its
benefits. 1
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 As
sociation. Students have a voice in the
Athletic Association through three
student members on the Athletic
Council. The student members of
the council are the student body
president, Monogram Club presi
dent and Carolina Athletic Associa
tion president.

'Big 5' Views

statement:
1. For or against UNC in NSA?
I am definitely in favor of Caro
lina's continued leadership in the
only American student organization
that represents student opinion on
a national and inter-national ba
sis. I think, however, that the stu
dents themselves should say what
Carolina should do."
2. Consolidated University Stu
dent Council. "I think the students
at the three institutions have a
responsibility to make consolida
tion work. Horton threw a monkey
wrench into that cooperation."
3. Student Entertainment Com
mittee. "Several plans have been
put forth. There seems to be no
agreement on these, but I do think
that some equitable plan could be
