VOLUME LXII NUMBER 20 CHAPEL HILL, N. C. TUESDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1953 FOUR PAGES TODAY Yeah, Well You're One Too-tSP, UP Cook Gives Gorham Verbal Swat; Prexy Swings Right Back By Charlie Kuralt Student Party Chairman Gene Cook and Student President Bob Gorham, (University Party), squared off yesterday in the year's first big exchange of political The main issue was the selec tion of orientation conselors, which Cook charged was "irregular and grossly unfair." Fraternities, Cook declared in a prepared statement, were given an "allotment" of orientation counselors, and Gor ham, he said, has instituted "a re gime that is of, by, and for the fraternities." In addition, Cook charged Gor ham with trying to "sabotage" the National Students Association on the campus and with having an "apathetic attitude toward the many problems facing the student body." 'Tantastic," rejoined President Gorham. He called Cook's state ment, "an attempt by the SP to split the campus for political ex pediency." "Fraternity membership," Gor ham insisted, "had nothing to do with the selection of orientation counselors. Those men were select ed on the basis of capability alone." The Student Party meeting last night unanimously backed Cook's statement, giving loud aproval to the sharpest criticism of the Gor ham administration issued to date. The opposing statements sharp ly contradicted each onther on most points. Cook's statement for the SP on the selection of counselors: "Gor ham has taken the position that what is good for the fraternities is good for the campus. Ninety per cent of the orientation counselors chosen by his committee were fra ternity men, and each fraternity was given an allotment of coun selors." Gorham's rebuttal: "We posted in dorms notices that counselors were being chosen. Many more fraternity men applied for the positions. 40 percent of the dor mitory men who applied were chosen. 42 percent of the frater nity men who applied were chosen. We have tried to be fair ... No allotments' were made to any fraternity Gorham said, "No one has come j xi - f Tr1itim1 to my office, regaruieaa w or social affiliation, has been turned don for a job. When I asked two SP men to serve on committees recently, they refused." The Student Party statement pointed out that Gorham and his "cohorts" were absent from .the National Students Association Con-, gress last August, and accused him of neglect of the organiza tion. Gorham said he appointed two( ttp HAWates who "could not at-; "could not at-! m00tinff He oointed to his State of the Campus speech last week in which he defended fXe POLITICS, Page 4) ...I j.uui mm wmmmmm mm 11 If l.f -f -' 1 " Z ; r j r --x,C J- rK&th v:. i JL " 1 -.autThinTON JAMES (lop left).

A spokesman for the bill to be presented by Senator David Reid of Asheville stated that a reducec " tariff would allow other nations to stabilize their economies by earn ing American dollars. He also said that such a policy would spur foreign nations to pay up their debts to this country. Opponents of hte bill believe any lowering in tariff rates would endanger American economy to the extent of possibly throwing millions out of work.
