He stepped off his plane at Raleigh-Durham Airport wearing an old blue suit and looking tired, but . with a big grin for the Tar Heel partisans who met him. Carolina students, members of the Young Democrats uud, maoe up a big part of the crowd of 20OJ who cheered for the 1952 Demo cratic presidential candidate. Ste- venson is in the state for a 10- day rest at the Southern Pines home of his sister, Mrs. Ernest Ives. Stevenson faced a big banner held aloft by UNC Young Demo crats proclaiming him "Next Pres ident of the United States!" He talked to reporters for a few min utes in the jovial manner of a cand"ae Someone asked him if his speech in Charlotte April 2 is to be a "major" speech. "I don't know," Stevenson answered. And he added he didn't yet know what he would say there. Would he answer Sena tor McCarthy's 20 charges of "trea son"? He said he would not Southern Pines, a reporter re minded him, is a golf resort. Would he be planning to get in shape for '56? That brought the reply, "Well, I think he (President Eisenhower) has a head start on me Would he be trying to make some Democratic converts in Char lotte, which went for Eisenhower in 1952? "I am always interested in the redemption of sin," Steven son said. Then Stevenson moved through the crowd to the waiting official car of Governor Umstead. if -HI :7m Cobb Dormitory Gets Picture On Benefactor Collier Cobb By Ernest Castillo Collier Cobb Jr. presented a photograph of his father, for whom Cobb Dormitory was named, to the dorm Sunday aft ernoon ai 2 o'clock in the main social room. Below the photograph, which is 24 by 36 inches with a gold leaf frame, is a smal plaque that has a condensed biography writ ten by Chancellor R. B. House. It states that "Cobb was a suc cessful newspaper editor and publisher at the early age of ten." Before coming to the Univer sity as Assistant Professor of Ge ology in 1891, he was an instruc tor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The following year he became the first head of the Department of Geology, and after forty years of service, he made it distinguished in Amer ica. ! ' ' -i When Collier Cobb ; Jr.T pre sented the picture, he read an "Good News" Cast's Energy Variety Show's Main Feature By Stan Smith "I want to tell everybody how great it's going to be, but we don't have enough time!" ', . . Bo Benardin, a director in blue jeans, sat cross-legged on the flut tered Memorial Hall stage. She wanted to talk about the Campus Chest Variety Show, 'Good News,' which goes on tomorrow night. "Everybody's doing a little bit of everything . . . painting, putting sets together, rehearsing. It's re ally wonderful!" She stopped, run ning her hand through her hair. One of the cast started hammer ing on a backdrop.' "Last Thursday, nobody knew a line, not a song," she continued. 'That night, about half of the cast showed aip. We didn't even have a piano. "Everybody iust sat around talking. Lew was telling us we only had a week," (she nodded to Lew Sherman, chairman of the Campus Chest.) "We wondered if it were possible at all to put on a show. 'TThen one of the kids said 'What are we waiting for? Let's get go ing!' That started . everybody off." The show, put on entirely with student talent, will have eighteen different skits, many of the per formers appearing in nearly every scene. Miss Benardin designed the costumes and sets. "The enthusiasm is tremendous," spoke up Lew Sherman. "Why, if these kids didn't know one word or one tune, they'd put on a whale of a show!" ."We've practiced every night," broke in director Benardin, "and day gunday R,s 24 hours . . . want -to eive the audience something they'll re member. "And we're going to do just that, you can bet your bottom nickel on it!" Tickets for the show will be on sale in Y-Court today and tomor row, night. Admission is one dol lar. Student Nurses To Give Fashion Show Tonight The latest word in fashion will be spoken tonight at the School of Nursing Fashion Show, slated to begin this evening at 7:15 in the Institute of Pharmacy Building. Two presentations are sched uled for tonight, the first begin ning at 7:15, and the second at 8:30. The shows will feature models from both the School of Nursing and the School of Dental Hygiene. Models for the Fashion Show in clude the following: Naomi Tate, Natalie Salter, Sally Smith, Nancy Keck, Jerry Snider, Joy Smith, Marian Mevin, Dorothy Herring, Jackie Van Hook, Sarah McCarter, Mary ou Norwood and Noel Keck. A collection will be taken dur ing the show to help send repre sentatives of the UNC School of Nursing to the national convention article he had discovered while collecting material about his fa ther. The article, which he thought would be of interest, was one that had caused much dis cussion in the late nineteenth century. It was an item that concerned having Saturday classes and the issue was to be debated by the Dialectic Senate. Cobb then added that his father had quit his job at M.I.T. and had come to Carolina for half the salary he was receiving be cause of his love for the Univer sity. , fThe picture was received by Charlie Hyatt, president of Cobb Dorm. In accepting the photo graph, Hyatt said, "On behalf of Cobb Dormitory, I wish to thank you, and I am sure that the pic ture will serve as an inspiration to the boys of this dorm." Hyatt later added that he thought that all buildings should have a pic ture of the person for. whom they are named. Mo Mti Frtic Faculty Evaluation cheduled To By Taylor Durham Faculty evaluation starts today. The first concrete evidences of the program will be seen in the Y and at Graham Memorial this morning. ; Rating forms for town students will be avail able in both the Y and GM from 9 o'clock this morning until closing time at the two buildings. The forms should be returned to either place no later than noon tomorrow. Sponsored by Student Government, the rating program is the first attempt of its kind in eight years. The program was one of the major planks in the campaign platform of Student Government President Bob Gorham last Spring. Gorham said yesterday, "Faculty evaluation is a project that has been talked about for four years. Finally, we have set up a system that is going into effect If the project Is to accomplish SP, UP "Heads Select Kuralt 'Better Man7 i Both campus political party chairmen agreed yesterday that Daily Tar Heel editorial candidate Charles Kuralt "is the better man for the job in a political sense, since he ;is the doubly-endorsed hopeful." :rv" -- " - University Party Chairman Jack Stevens and Student Party Chair man Henry Lowet in a joint state ment, declared that they felt Kur alt "will not lean toward either of the two parties we represent since each of the parties has se lected him as its candidate. "Seldom do our two parties agree on any poli tidal matter, but in this case we and our parties are backing -the same man, Charles Kuralt, for the editor's job. "All he has promised to either party is that he will be 'scrupu lously fair' in dealing with the parties as in all other affairs, in the pages of The Daily Tar Heel," the two party leaders said. "We chairmen urge the mem bers of our respective parties to support the candidate nominated by both the UP and the SP," Stev ens and Lowet concluded. Kuralt is running against Tom Peacock, who sought the UP nom ination and later went independ ent.

IDC To Elect New Officers The Interdormitory Council meets tonight at 7 o'clock in 203 Alumni Hall to elect its officers for the coming scholastic year. Walt Gurley, present head of the IDC, said yesterday that to night's meeting of the Council would be the last over which he would preside. When asked what he thought had been the most important ac complishments of the IDC during his tenure of office, Gurley said that he thought the Council had made "definite progress" on the problem of establishing a better coed visiting agreement for the dorms. He pointed out that additional vending machines have been placed in some dorms. Lack of funds, he noted, was the reason that cigarette machines have not as yet been installed. on the Political Front The Cliche Mill Breaks Down At political party meetings on campus we occasionally hear words that rise above the clack of the cliche mill and say something that is pensive and true. The Student Party had such a speech the other night, but we're sure most of its members weren't too receptive to it. It wasn't a com pliment to the SP. But it did seem to ma&e up a challenge to student government, one that it'll have to meet in ordier to survive and win respect from students. Electability Vs. Ability Norwood Bryan, an SP member who doesn't always give1 speeches, had just nominated Joel Fleishman. Everyone knew that Fleishman would refuse, as he did the presidency. Bryan chided the party for "speaking too much about electability and not enough about ability." "... We havte rarely sought; t& pick a good-lookin, mediocre', but very electable person to run for office," Bryan said to the SP's ap parent agitation. "We havle not done this because we know that it is a kjnd of fraud perpetrated- upon a tudent body which is not always in a position to know whom- the best candidate should be . . . " And What About The Morning After? We're not down on the SP, or anyone else for that maty?r. But in order to win respect as well as votes, any group that proports to lead must offer some candidates with leadership. While we're not criticiz ing the SP choice of candidates (it's their party), why ar e such obvi ous candidates like Fleishman left out? Winning any election is hard work. But after the flair of posters, din of slogans and whatnot is over, 'there's the job of settling down to do something for the students. And what we're wondering is whether the "good-looking, medio cre, but Very electable" candidate is the one who'll do the most work. We doubt it. womiimo Program oaay its aim of improving our teaching level, it is most important that we all think carefully, and be ex tremely objective in our ratings." "All precautions have been taken to eliminate pressure on both the instructor and the student," Gorham continued. Forms for dorms, sorority, and fraternity houses will be distributed around 8 o'clock tonight by the various dorm and house presidents. They will be picked up around 11 o'clock by the same persons who distributed them. Ed McCurry, chairman of Gorham's Evaluation Committee, said yesterday that he would "appre ciate the cooperation and support of every student on campus to make this project a success" he em phasized that it was extremely important for the president of every dorm, sorority, and fraternity to be present at the meeting in Gerrard Hall to morrow afternoon at 5 o'clock to receive their forms and be briefed on procedure. Peacock Hits UNC Politicos In Statement Tom Peacock, independent can didate for Daily Tar Heel editor, said yesterday that he , is "tired" of "pseudo-professional politicians" deciding what is best for him. In a prepared statement, Pea cock said that "campus politics in general accomplish little." He criticized what he called "the elite set. of 'pseudo-professional' politi cians that run" campus politics. Campus politicians, Peacock de clared, "direct their efforts not to wards accomplishing good for the University, but towards the game of politics like the 'big boys.' " 'There are a few outstanding exceptions," he added. "I am tired of these pseudo pro fessionals deciding what is best for me. Until they remember that the good of the students and of the campus is their prime concern, I believe that the students should elect a political amateur," Peacock said. The candidate cited as an exam ple of "hasty thought and irrespon sibility" a recent bill introduced to the student Legislature "de manding that athletes have an .all 'C average as do all other partici pants in extra-curricular activi ties." Peacock said that the "pseudo (See PEACOCK, page 4) with Louis Kraar fed Farrell Steps Down, Assails Student Party UP Floorleader Calls 'Dorm Improvements' SP Political Move By Louis Kraar Martin Jordan was acclaimed the University Party's choice for .vice-president last night as party floorleader Bob Farrell stepped out of the nomination race. Jordan, a junior from Concord, has been on the Orientation Com mittee for two years, and is in the Student Legislature. He is assist ant attorney-general to President Bob Gorham and has served on the presidential cabinet for two years. Jordan belongs to Kappa Alpha fraternity. Farrell told the 35 party mem bers present that . the rival SP would "do almost anything so long as it will get them a vote, or two." "The Student Party has a two thirds majority in the Legislature and hasn't done anything but spend money. I'm tired of seeing these political nymphomaniacs running around campus," Farrell said. The long-time UP legislator said he thought the "dorm improve ments" like television sets and Victory VLlage appropriations re cently granted were for political purposes. . He said an "organization other than a dorm'" asked the Legisla ture for some improvements re cently, and the SP-controlled body "just put it aside fcnd forgot about it." Farrell said he would like the vice-presidential post, but had to decline the nomination "for per sonal reasons." "Student government has a place on campus, but it apparently hasn't found that place," Farrell declared. He cited the need "for more people in student govern ment" McNutt Given Gardner Prize RALEIGH Dr. Franklin Hol brook McNutt, professor of educa tion and associate dean of the Graduate School of the Woman's College, was presented the sixth annual O. Max Gardner Award at impressive ceremonies at N. C. State College here Monday night. The award 1? made each spring to the faculty member of the Con solidated University who, in the judgment of the Trustees, during the current scholastic year, has made "the greatest contribution to the welfare of the human race."
