Orientation Applicants Have Another Chance For Jobs This Week Interviews for men's orientation counselors are being held through Sunday, Chairman Rollie Tillman said yesterday. Any person interested in being a second floor of Graham Memorial tonight or tomorrow night from 7 o'clock to 9:30 or Sunday after noon from 2 to 4 o'clock. "More counselors are needed for the Orientation Week next fall," Tillman said. "At least 100 coun selors must be chosen. "The work of the counselor con sists of leading the freshmen at Carolina in their opening days here. They conduct discussion groups on campus life, lead cam pus tours, and help the newcom ers through registration. The counselors therefore play a most important part in the successful adjustment of the new student to UNC." Tillman expressed a hope that every student interested in orien tation work would be interviewed during the remaining days. "There is no limit to those who may apply from each dormitory or house the only limitations are those im posed by lack of interest," he said. ."There, is, no real way to meas ure the contribution of the coun selor to the University. It is one sure way to do something tangible toward combating student apathy and toward promoting and instill ing in the new student a sincere and unshakable pride in the Uni versity." Elections Board Releases Text On Fountain The Elections Board yesterday released its official version of the grade law interprtation which per mitted Jim Fountain to become head cheerleader. Fountain, appointed to the post by President-elect Tom Creasy, was ineligible to run for the job and his name appeared on the ballot by mistake. The Elections Board, rul ing this week, said Fountain was eligible. The board ruled that to be eligible to run for campus of fice a candidate must have an average of C for the length of his college residence here. Under the previous system the one used un til the board's interpretation Mon daya candidate was required to have a C average for the two se mesters . preceding the one in .which he runs for office. The board's statement: "The Elections Board met at 2 p.m. Monday to deliberate a ques tion of the interpretation of Article VII, Section 3, subsection 1 of the campus election law in regard to grade qualifications for a nominee. The law reads ... 'he (the nom inee) shall have passed a minimum of 27 hours in the 2 semesters im mediately prior to that semester in which' he is nominated, (which shall be accompanied by an over all grade of C or higher.) This section has previously been inter preted as requiring a C average for only the 2 semesters prior to the semester in which he is nom inated. "After due consideration the Elections Board ruled that the pre vious interpretation was erroneous and that the correct interpretation is that a nominee must possess an overall C average during bis entire University residence. "The Elections Board would like to point out that this ruling is not a physical change of the law but is the correction of a previous mis interpretation. We recommend in order to prevent any further mis interpretation that the Student Legislature change the wording of Article VII, Section 3, sub-section 1 of the campus election laws to read as follows ... 'in which he is rominated. The said student shall possess an overall C average or higher for his entire University residence.' "The Elections Board reached its decisions by unanimous vote." The Elections Board is the of ficial student government agency for conducting elections. It also draws up the elections laws which are passed on by the Legislature. open counselor is asked to come to the Alumni Gather At Inn Today To Nominate University alumni will nom inate candidates for officers in the General Alumni Association at today's general Alumni As sembly here.

South Building But c?s Journalist Tells Student Leaders Campus Is Excellent Democratic Proving Grounds sibility and duty to put the fra ternity houses off limits because of their (fraternities') new policy. "... It is a heartening and commendable sign to see on the University of North Carolina cam pus a new and thrilling attitude assumed by the fraternities to promote and advance the cher ished precepts of democracy," Ivey said. "They are at least 836 years ahead of tReir time." Ivey, associate editor of the Winston-Salem Sentinel and mem ber of UNC's class of 1935, spoke at the annual student government banquet last night in Lenoir Hall, which approximately 175 people attended. His subject was "What Price Eggsheads?" or, "Big Wheels and Flying Saucers," an examina tion of democracy on the Carolina campus. The "... 836 years ahead of their time" referred to the Uni versity of Bologna, a school found ed in 426 A.D. and, Ivey said, the only university in existence that has ever been totally run by the students. Eight hundred and 26 years later, he said, enrollment Vote On Liquor, Repeal Secrecy Law James Joshua S. James, candidate for state treasurer, called for a repeal of the "so-called secrecy bill enacted by the last Legislature" and for a state-wide liquor referendum in an address here last night. .

Keen Oliver Wins Award For Mademoiselle Article Keen Oliver, a senior in dramat ic art from Chatham, Va., was one of 10 winners in national writing competition for Mademoiselle, co ed fashion magazine. Miss Oliver won $10 as one of the nine runnersup. There also was a grand prize. She is one of 700 girls from all over the United States who will do three assignments' for the mag i 1 if Svey increased to more than 10,000 stu dents. , Ivey lauded the "... practice in self-government ..." in uni versity life. "If our (national) democracy is based on principles of liberty, . freedom, and equality under the law," he said, "and if our schools are to continue to serve as a dynamo of democratic society, it follows . that the more practice in self-government our undergraduates get, so much the better will the spirit of democracy be advanced and assured overall." Ivey said "... the conditions for development of democracy . . . find much more fertile ground in a campus community than in our modern competitive society out side campus life," explaining that distinctions between classes, ex tremes between " ... rich and poor, the criminal and the law abiding," are- hot found here as they are found , outside campus life. "... At Chapel Hill," he said, " . . we live together and come to understand one another under (See GOVERNMENT, page 4) crat Clubs. Al House, Hobgood, president of the University YDC, presided. Bob Windsor, Winston Salem, vice-president of the Uni versity YDC, introduced the speaker. James, who was formerly with the State Utilities Commission, said that the "secrecy bill enacted by the last Legislature should be repealed promptly at the next session; that an open door policy for the transaction of public busi ness is the only safe course to pursue in order to avoid evil and maintain the, confidence of the people in our representative form of government." He declared that the next ses sion of the General Assembly also should provide for a liquor refer endum which he said has "long been demanded by a substantial portion of citizens throughout the state." He said that three issues should be submitted in order for the peo ple to decide whether they want state-wide prohibition, state-wide legal sale, or local option. James asserted again that now is not the time to discuss the mer its of each but that the important question now is whether the peo ple should be permitted .to speak on a major issue of long standing and state-wide importance. In the event a state-wide vote resulted in prohibition, James said he believes it is possible to have effective enforcement and if such a vote resulted in the approval of legal sales, he stated that he would then be in favor of attemping to induce the distilling industry to locate plants in the state as a part of the present program for addi tional industries here.
