The UP last year came up on the short end in fall elections. But Lou Wolfsheimer, chairman of the UP, voiced the opinion that the UP would take the fall elec tions. "I think we have one of the most terrific- slates of candTuates the UP has ever had the good for tune to acquire," he said. "With these candidates, I don't see how the voters can deny us." The SP has a one seat majority in Legislature and must capture all but one of the vacant seats in fall elections to maintain a ma jority. The SP Monday night nominated men to fill four of the vacant seats in Legislature. Don Geiger and Gene Cook will run for seats in Dorm Men's District I (Cobb). Geiger will be running for re election and Cook will run for the seat now filled by Bill Brown (Independent), who will graduate in January.

Both parties will continue nom inations for two more weeks. The elections board has not yet re leased a list of all seats open in legislature. Treaty-Making Authority Okay Where It is, Says Di Senate After what Critic Joel Fleishman called "one of the best debates in some time," members of the Dialectic Senate this week defeated a bill calling for the adoption of the Bricker Amendment. The defeat came on a 17-10 roll call vote and followed a two-hour session which included an indicf- in-jment of the policies of President Franklin D. Roosevelt and a charge that the amendment's sponsors were seeking to wreck the United States Constitution. The victorious opponents of the bill to limit the president's treaty making powers called it " an at tack on the Constitution," while proponents argued that it was an effort to prevent "further abuses" of such power. Clyde Smith, speaking for the bill, said critics of the Ohio sena tor's proposed constitutional (See DI SENATE, page 4) o,.- rhatham KJ 1 utth Pa. v. - " I I t i ' - L Bans ..:-::. -- afciMaMMi-''-'-'-''Ma ACTOR GEORGE SANDERS has announced from Hollywood that he will seek a divorce from his wife, beautiful screen star Zsa Zsa Gabor.

Continuing his studies with Karl Elmendorff in Lisbon and Marious Francois Gaillard in Paris, he made his debut at Porto Alegre, Brazil, in 1945, singing the role of Don Bartolo in "The Marriage of Figaro." As a concert singer, Mariz has performed in most of the Euro pean capitals and in 1952 he made a successful tour of the cities of Brazil. Dr. Mariz has also achieved international recognition with his "Hector Villa-Lobos," the first I book (1949) written about that Brazilian composer. Other works which he has written on the mu- I sic of Brazil are: "Brazilian Con temporary Composers," "The Art Song in Brazil " "Vida Musical" j and "Dictionary Bio-bibliograpSic ' l' T I ?

However, the Wadesboro Trustee promised The Daily Tar Heel that he would clarify the committee's report on "merchandising policies and practices and regulations for grant-in-aid awards" by mail. The Trustee report doesn't men tion the word "scholarship," but refers to financial aid to students as "grants-in-aid." Asked if there is any difference between "scholarships" and "grants-in-aid," Taylor said, "It would seem to me that they are I both the same thing. We just called them grants-in-aid." He added that there was "no special reason" for calling them thusly. Administration officials here commonly refer to athletic grants as "grants-in-aid" and other stu dent grants as "scholarships." "This thing is a closed issue as far as I'm concerned," declared Taylor. He said any "further in terpretations" are up to adminis trative officials. Later, he prom ised to "clarify" several points in the report Reexamination, of the . report came about yesterday when it was announced that $40,000 in campus store profits are being turned back into student grants-in-aid with $10,000 of that amount specifically earmarked for athletic grants.

Each athlete who requests help f ASnnMnnrt I the legislative committee which decided to ask for the action by Legislature, said, "I think it is very important that the bill pass since it provides that funds will go into the hands of the Legisla ture, and since the Publications Board is under the jurisdiction of the Legislature." On the other hand, Joe Raff, chairman of the Publications Board, said, "I'm not convinced that the decision of the committee is a wjse one portion of in the student body coffers." The committee which Forester heads was set up "to effect more harmonious relationships between the Publications Board and the Legislature." The committee met earlier this week with a number of people connected with campus publications. Forester reported that the "majority" of these were in accordance with the committee's decision. Present at the meeting were Raff, Ed Starnes, treasurer of the Publications Board; Rolfe Nefll, editor of The Daily Tar Heel;; Rnss Cowell, business manager of the Yackety-Yack; Jim Schenck, busi ness manager of The Daily Tar Heel, and Syd Shufford, assistant business manager of The Daily Tar Heel. "We don't want to hamper the Publications Board by cutting off too much of their surplus," said Forester. The $17,000 dollars which will be taken from the board if the bill passes is in government securities, associated mortgages, and building and loan. The Legis lature will, if the bill passes, ap propriate $5,000 in cash back to the board, leaving it with $15,000 operating capital. Raff said earlier this week that he thought that the Legislature had done a "wise" thing by "at last" appointing a committee to work for better relationships be tween the Legislature and the Publications Board. "I think this is the beginning of a proper, har monious and necessary relation ship between the Publications Board and stuoent Legislature. Such liason was needed long ago. "The Legislature is the final governing body, and I think they will come to a sage decision." Also on the Legislative agenda will be the consideration of a bill providing for revising the general elections laws; a bill providing that fall elections be held De cember 8, with run-offs December 15; a bill providing for the plac ing of all excess funds from stu dent fees into the Legislature's unappropriated balance; a bill to appropriate $300 to the University Club for its program for the rest of the fall semester and a bill providing for the appropriation of $27.50 for CUSC space in the Yackety-Yack.
