Allen is also chairman of the Duke endowment, whose " philan thropy mado possible the new classroom-administration building. In presenting the keys to Duke President Hollis Edens, he said, "Tor many years I have longed to see a suitable building erected on this spot, completing the original plan for the main quadrangle. It is my fervent hope that you will occupy this building for many, many years." t The new building, last structure in the quadrangle, was included in the original plans for the famous West Campus. The new addition completes the gothc quadrangle.

Long's undergraduate po litical life at Louisiana State University was unprecedented in, that southern college. Running for president of the student body, young Russell did every thing from painting his name on the backs of coeds when they went swimming to dropping pamphlets from airplanes. He kept his political promises. Long experienced political bat tles even before his college, days. As a youngster in Shreveport, he frequently had to undertake fist fights with children who bitterly criticized his political actions. Today, he still takes up for his father, who was governor of Louisiana when young Long was in high school. "I would not be in politics if his (Long's father) enemies, in cluding the press, had given him credit for the good things he did. 1 am going to carry out some of his ideals, and if I can't do it, I shall help someone else who can," Russell Long once declared early in his ca reer as a senator. Thus, the campus politico who championed the cause of non fraternity men as a student at LSU, even though he was a mem ber of Delta Kappa Epsilon fra ternity, is likewise standing up Treasurer Gill Will Address Y DC Tonight Edwin w Gill, incumbent State Treasurer, will present some of his views on existing political con troversies in a speech at 8 o'clock tonight in Gerrard Hall.

Kerr Scott spoke here two weeks ago to inaugurate the series. Scott is a candidate for a seat in the U. S. Senate in the Democratic primary in May. Alton Lennon, Scott's opponent, will be brought here, in April. ,: . ... Before holding his present, of fice, GUI was U. S. Collector of Internal, 'Revenue. He has ; also served as Commissioner of Paroles and Commissioner of Revenue.. Gill's only opposition in . the Democratic primary this, year is Josh James of Raleigh. However, there, is still time for more oppo nents to enter the race for Treas urer., , A dinner at the Pines at 6 p.m. will precede Gill's talk, according to Al House, YDC president. House pointed out that all Democrats in terested should make reservations for this dinner. V $ lY wL EDWIN GILL Phi Assembly Defeats S. C. Nullification Bill The Phi Assembly defeated "a bill supporting the principal of nullification of an act of Congress as practiced by the State of South Carolina," by a margin of 5 votes last Tuesday night. Dick Iobst was awarded the title of "Speaker of the Evening" by the critic. In a business meeting proceed ing the debate, the assembly elected Frank Roberts to succeed Syd Shuford as temporary speaker. At Politics for his late father's political reputation. Although he entered the Sen ate in 1948 as the youngest sen ator at that time, his profession al political experience has been full. After a stretch in the Navy which earned him four battle stars, Long helped his uncle Earl Long stump for the gov ernorship of Louisiana. Later, he himself was elected to finish out the term left open in the Senate by the ceath of John Overton. The new senator's first speech was against changing the Sen ate rule on fillibustering. Later, he drew up the Federal pay reclassificiation bill that passed in 1948. It included proposals to inspire workers to economy. Xong has consistently advo cated major reductions of spend ing in foreign aid programs. He did support the bills for increas ing funds for the Voice of Amer ica broadcasts, aid to Yugo slavia, and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. He favors extension of educa tion for Negroes rather than legislation to "prevent preju dice." He has supported minimum-wage legislation, public housing legislation, expansion of social security, increased old age pensions, and federal aid to public welfare programs. ' ' ,4 LIV' 3 Win --.

Women's Place Is In Politics: Thad Eure "If they refuse to participate on the county, precinct, and state levels, then it is their fault." Thad Eure, North Carolina Secretary of State, emphasized last night the opportunities women have of par ticipating in political activitiesin North Carolina. Eure was speaking to the" Chap el Hill League "of Women Voters. He discussed political parties and voting in the state, pointing out in detail the opportunities North Carolina political parties have pro vided in their rules for the par ticipation of women. On the county level, for ex ample, either the chairman or the vice-chairman of the fexecutive committee must be a woman. Mr. Eure continued, each congression al district must elects members to the party's state executive com mittee, and one half of those must be women; so in North Carolina almost one-half of the 216 voting members of each party's state executive committee are women. The only difference is a" frac tional on at the precinct level, where only two of the five mem bers of its executive committee are women. Mr. Eure praised the League of Women Voters and said he wished that there were more units in North Carolina. There is noth ing more valuable to the state and the woman herself, he said, than an active interest in political affairs. Mr. Eure encouraged all wofen to take such an interest. Students Visit In Washington Six students from the Carolina YMCA are delegates to a Seminar for College Students on 'Foreign Policy and Public Opinion," in Washington, D. C, today through Saturday.

The Seminar is sponsored by the American Friends Service Com mittee. Prayer A short prayer service will be held tonight at 10 o'clock in Ger rard Hall sponsored by the UNC Student ACU Chapter. dys td 1 1 in gr Block Fee Increase Up For Vote Tonight By Fred Powledge Student Party Chairman Henry Lowet yesterday defended his par ty '. and its', appropriations bills against what he termed "name calling stalling tactics" by mem bers of the University, Party. Lowet was prompted by charges made by student government Pres ident Bob Gorham Tuesday night that Student Party legislators had become "irresponsible" and , are appropriating funds "indiscrimi nately." Gorham spoke to UP members at a kickoff meeting for the, spring campaign. Gorham said he didn't know what he . would do . with a recent $3,000 Victory Village appropria tions bill, recently passed by the student Legislature. He does have the power to veto it within 10 days after the bill is put on his desk by House Speaker Baxter Miller. The bill was Student Party-spoijr sored. Lowet safd yesterday: "The example used by several UP members to illustrate Gorham's words was the recent bill passed by the Legislature appropriating funds for Victory Village. "No portion of the campus has been more neglected by student government than Victory Village in the past several years. Conse quently, when funds became avail able for improving the Village, the exponents of 'Government by Neglect' raised the hue and cry that such appropriations are a 'payoff.' "This is an insult to the integrity and . good intentions of the resi dents of Victory Village who are seeking these improvements." Lowet said he thought Jack Stev ens, UP chairman, "and the en tire UP owes an apology to the Villagites for insinuating that these older, more mature, married students are being bribed to vote SP.'-' Several UP members said Tues day they thought the Victory Vill age appropriations bill was a "pay off" for Village support in last fall's and future elections. "Government by Neglect will probably continue its name-calling, stalling tactics until the stu dent body becomes aware that the UP has done little or absolute ly nothing during its administra tion," said Lowet. "Yes, the Good Deal program for the students is reaching a 'crisis,' as Gorham stated," added Lowest. "The question is whether or not the "President of the stu dent body will use his veto to prevent 'intelligent appropriations from going through to benefit the student body." President Gorham said last night, "I haven't yet decided" what to do with the bill. He said Speaker Miller had not yet placed the bill on his desk. Student Fee Raise A bill to raise student block fees $3 per student per year will come before the Legislature for voting tonight. The measure, co-introduced by Bob Farrell (UP) and Don Geiger (SP), passed the finance commit tee unanimously last week, and legislative sources say it will do as well tonight. The money received from the proposed $3 fee raise would be used by the Graham Memorial Student Union Board of Directors in the work of the student union. Other Bills Other bills introduced last week and sent to committee include an investigation of Victory Village j -jn-ui iuv.iij lio, a oiuuj ui tutu visiting; and a review of the rules of the University Dance Com mittee. The Victory Village bill would order an investigation of parking areas, sidewalks, telephone booths, street lights, street labeling and safety and caution signs in the Village. It went to the Victory Village Improvements Committee last week. The coed visiting study, intro duced by Gene Cook (SP), would urge the student : body president (See LOWET, page 4)
