Daily Tar Heel editorial candidates Charles Kuralt and Tom Peacock will swap stands oh the issues at 7:30. ' From the looks of things, it seems that the DTH editorship race will be one of the most lively. For some days now, both Peacock and Kuralt have been firing away at each other in written statements. Tonight they'll face each other. The voters on election day will be the referees in this three-week political match. Uh, Uh Don't Touch That Second Hand The University Party broke two records the other night during nominations. The UP nominated three major officers president, secretary, and treasurer by acclamation. That was the first time since 1936 that three major nominations were made by acclamation. Another record, set by the UP last year when nominating Bob Gorhain. was also busted. It took the UP oVer 30 seconds to nomi nate Gorhsm last year, while Tom Creasy was nominated in a mere 20 seconds. Thus, the UP broke its own speed record. UP Chairman Jack Stevens explained the rapidity as an "indica tion of the complete recognition by the party of the unmatched qualities of our candidates." We'd chalk it up to a big back room and unity among party leaders An OM Tune With Nsvv Words The first poster of the spring political season went up yesterday. Tom Peacock, independent DTH editorial candidate, has a big one ver the Y soda fountain "Beat The Politicians" Peacock's poster says.

"Phin Horton has lied," Peacock said. "The co-manager for Charles Kuralt, he continued, "said in a prepared statement that I said any stand of the editor which contra dicted the University administra tion endangered the freedom of The Daily Tar Heel. (This is not true. "I said 'any irresponsible, un warranted, and malicious stand' of The DTH endangered its freedom, and cited the anti-athletic handling an example." Peacock also had an answer for a statement made by Kuralt on Wednesday. Kuralt said the real issues of the campaign are "the literacy and experience and quah- fications of the candidates Peacock: "I am at least as liter ate as my opponent. I am unde niably more experienced and more qualified, since my opponent does not even have a year's experience on the paper he wishes to edit."

Kuralt said The Daily Tar Heel could, "through news reports and editorial assistance, aid their at tempts to organize a veterans' club m Chapel Hill." Peacock said he was interested in seeing the old Vets Club behind Lenoir Hall re-opened. The Club, a popular campus night spot, was closed several years ago when the veteran population here declined.

Oi(CAI1PUS SEEN Phi Approves Hawaiian Bill For Statehood The Phi Assembly, at its meet ing Tuesday night, approved by a vote of 10 to 2, a bill under which Hawaii would be admitted into the Union as a. state. A" similar bill is now being considered by Congress. In debate on the bill, Represent ative Ham Horton, one of the op ponents of the bill, argued that Hawaii is "manifestly deficient" in certain qualifications for state hood. The Carolina law student compared admitting a new ' state with choosing a wife, pointing out that since both will be around a long time, the decision to add either must be carefully consid ered. Proponents of the bill countered by saying that American-Asiatic relations, would be greatly en hanced by Hawaiian statehood, and that at the present there are no good reasons for not admitting Hawaii. In other action, the Phi tabled a bill which advocated that cap tured U.S. military personnel not be held responsible for confessions extorted under Communist tor ture. This issue is presently in the limelight with Marine Colonel Frank Schwable undergoing court marital on charges that he con fessed to germ warfare during the Korean war. An amendment was introduced by Representative Wade Matthews to extend statehood to Alaska, but the proposal was defeated by a slim margin. 'Large Issues Involved' Branch Baptist Probers Meet All Day; Statement Seen This Morning ' GREENSBORO, March 17 IP) The formal statement promised following today's meeting here of an investigative committee of the Baptist State Convention studying "liberalism" among Baptist Student Union leaders failed to materialize when the day-long session broke up in late afternoon. Dr. Perry Crouch, pastor of Asheville's First Baptist Church and chairman of the committee, de- clined any comment on the meet ing and said he hoped to have a statement readied by sometime to morrow morning. The Rev. Doug- laT Branch, president of the State Convention and present in an ex- of ficio capacity, also - declined comment but expressed regret for the delay in making a public state ment of the committee's actions. "There are," he said, "large issues involved." The committee met in the First Baptist Church here and the pro ceedings, according to members' comments, extended considerably longer than anticipated.

' The "Third Herd" . along with their boss opened up late but hot and stayed that way for two solid hours of "big band jazz." At five minutes after four Woody stepped out on the stage of he Hall, which was rapidly filling, and said, "about seven of my boys in one of the cars have been stopped by a North Carolina state patrolman. As soon as we can scrape up bail money we will get started." And about ten minutes later they did. The concert opened with one of Woody's old favorites "Woodchop pers' Ball" with the old master ris ing to new heights on his "red hot licorice stick." The band didn't even get through the first chorus before the audience was lifting the roof with waves of applause. They were still applauding at 6:15 when the final curtain closed. Back stage at intermission there were a lot of students standing around talking to Woody and "his boys." Woody reminisced a little about his trip to Carolina in the winter of 1950 for a German's dance. "The Third Herd had just been formed then," he said. Several - Carolina males - - were crowded around the band's cute vocalist Dolly Houston getting au tographs and just talking. Earlier she had stopped the show with her renditions of ''Lover Come Back to Me" and "Happiness Is Just a Thing Called Joe." When asked about plans for the future, Woody said that the group was scheduled to play for a dance in Norfolk tonight and then go to the University of Maryland for a jazz concert similar to the one here yesterday. The "Herd" leaves for a - five-week Europan tour April 1. Woody's aggregation is made up of fifteen pieces: four saxes, five trumpets, three trombones, piano, bass, and drums. The majority of the "boys" are just college-age and several of them played with the famous Stan Kenton group. The jazz concert was presented through the auspices of Graham Memorial Student Union.

Dog, Man's Best Friend, Is Threat To Grid Team The coming of Spring has long been fabled for its effects on human beings. Now, it seems, not only men but dogs, too, are strangely influenced by the balmy breezes. One Chapel Hill dog in par ticular has taken to. biting foot ball players and town citizens. Sonny Ridenhour, halfback from Winston-Salem, was bitten Monday while strolling across campus. The dog has also bitten two Chapel HUlians. The dog is described as being short, reddish-brown, and with a long, bushy tail. Coach Barclay could not be reached for comment on this new threat to Carolina's pigskin fortunes. - ew Tarnation Editor s , - x- i i REUBEN LEONARD Criticizes Ex ok- policy of the stores. He said that he will make a request before the committee that the Book Exchange operate used books sales on a non profit basis. They Book Exchange currently pays half of the original price to students for used books, and then it makes 50 percent profit on the resale of each used book, accord ing to Gorham. President Gorham said the op erating margin of the Book Ex change last year was 14 percent. "This means the Book Ex makes 36 percent profit when they re- sell a once used book. And that's too much." The student chief executive also said he will urge the Campus Stores Committee to turn profits from dormitory vending machines back to dorms. At present, the profits go into a scholarship fund along with other Campus Store profits. The Gorham recommendations will be made to a committee that was established by Trustee order to "advise" the management of the stores. The committee consists of both faculty and student members, and meets any time two members request it to do so. In last week's meetings, the com mittee passed two resolutions pro posed by President Gorham. One resolution urged that the manage ment of the campus stores "pre pare a statement setting forth the price policy and price policies" of the store. Another resolution passed asked for "closer co-operation" be tween. Jaculty. and the Book Ex change in regard to changing new text books. Prexy Upholds UP Resolution On Restriction "I am definitely opposed to any form of postponed rushing for freshmen," declared President Bob Gorham yesterday. Referring to a resolution due to come up before the student Legis lature tonight, Gorham said he doesn't "think the Legislature should dictate to the Inter-Fra ternity Council concerning rush ing." The resolution, introduced by Bill Sanders (UP) provides for the student lawmaking body to go on record as not favoring restrictions on freshman fraternity rushing. In other words, it supports the pres ent system and opposes so-called delayed rusning. There seemed to be some ques tion yesterday among legislators whether the resolution opposing delayed rushing would pass. The Student Party, holding the pres ent legislative majority, went on record early last fall as favoring delayed rushing.
