Stilwell Asks To Remain As UP Chairman Jack Stilwell, defeated Univer sity Party vice-presidential candi date last spring, last night asked his party if he could remain chair man. . Some question arose at the opening UP meeting over whether Stilwell could be party chairman and UP floorleader in Legislature too. The quesetion will be settled at the UP meeting next week.

HA-x FOUR PAGES TODAY ive State Toni Defends Party Stand On NSA Representation President Will Not Bring Up Drinking Controversy Tonight President Bob Gorham will pre sent his state - of - the - cmapus speech to the student Legislature at 8 o'clock tonight in Phi Hall of New East. - Gorham will evaluate the first two months of his administration, telling what the administration has accomplished and where he thinks it has fallen down. He will discuss NSA, the effect which the administration wants it to have here and its importance. Commenting on an editorial in The Daily Tar Heel yesterday which pointed out that all five of Carolina's delegates to the NSA congress at Ohio State University this summer, were members of the Student Party, Gorham said, "There are no grounds for com f plaint by anybody. The delegates were representatives of the Uni versity of North Carolina and not of any political party." According to the editorial the University Party was "supposed to have sent three delegates to the congress. Absent from the speech will be any" mention of the administra tion's recent refusal of a student proposed fraternity visiting house agreement which would have set lip identical rules for coeds and imports concerning drinking in fraternity houses. The next move on that question is up to the TFC, Gorham said yesterday. Bills for appropriations totaling more than $3,000 will be up for approval by the Legislature to night and in succeeding meetings. The bills include requests from the Graham Memorial Student Union for $2,000; the Carolina Handbook, $200; the Carolina Quarterly, $600; and the Consoli dated University Student Council, $275 annually for dues. Y DC Leader Says GOP Is 'Falling Down' Campus Young Democrats, meet ing last night in Gerrard Hall, heard their state president urge them to take a more active part in party work. William B. "Billy" Harrison also took a mild slap at Republicans, Dixiecrats, and "self:styled Inde pendents." "The Democratic Party," Har rison said, "needs the br-M politi cal approach and the new ideas of college students. The Young Demo cratic Clubs can be an effective sounding board for the things about the party that are best" Harrison said the time is ripe for the Carolina club to add new. members and to begin work for the 1954 elections. He said there is a growing awareness that, "the Republicans are falling down on the job." He dismissed Dixiecrats as "ex tremists wno would wreck the party," and drew applause by naming Governor James Byrnes of South Carolina as, "a man we De mocrats nave no use for." And in dependent voters, he said, are voters who "haven't learned that under our two-party system, you must align yourself with one party or another." Harrison, a University graduate who lives with his family of three children in Rocky Mount, (you can be a "Young Democrat" until you are forty), said the recent meeting of Democrats in Chicago was dis tinguished by the enthusiasm of the young delegates present. Prior to Harrison's speech, the club elected delegates to Satur day's Young Democratic Clubs con vention in Raleigh. They are John Sanders, Bob Pace, Gene Cook, Ken Penegar, Al House, Al Adams, and - Lindsay Tate. am
