'Brigadoons' may be next big step 6 Of 19 Men's Are For Brigadoons Six of the men's dormitories dormitory Council's proposed The The dorms which have approved the measure are Stacy, on Nov. s 3, Lewis and Grimes, on Nov. 4, Alexander and Aycock, on Nov. 8, and Ruffin, on Nov. 11. j In addtion to these dorms, four i have voted to have a referendum 1 on The Brigadoons. These dorms are Old West, Mangum, Cobb and Connor. As the plans are set up now, if the measure passes, The Briga doons would sponsor a dance twi ce a year beginning in 1955 with a name band which is popular with the majority of the students. A professional floor show would also be planned. If at all possible, a stage or screen personalty will be present j to help with the entertainment, according to IDC spokesmen. The final details will have to be decided on by the Board of Dir ectors. CRITICISM Criticism of the idea has center ed about the contingency that dormitories be required to pay a proportionate share of the ex penses, according to the number of people in the dormitory. According to a ' spokesman for the IDC, the reason that the mat ter of expenses has been incorp orated into the by-laws is not be cause the IDC fears that it could not sell a sufficient number of tickets to sustain a loss, but be cause of tax laws. "In order for The Brigadoons to succeed, the wholehearted support of all 19 men's dormtories is need ed. Without their support it would not be advantageous to indorse the idea." BY LAWS The proposed by-laws of The Brigadoons are as follows: Article I. Name This organization shall be kn own as The Brigadoons.

If it passes, it will become a constitutional amendment. "It is my personal hope," said Creasy, "that the referendum will be defeated." The President's statement came after more than a month of argu- ment betwen Dave Reid, author and presenter of the bill, and Herb Browne, chairman of the Men's Honor Council. The Daily Tar Heel printed the text of the bill and extended state ments from Reid and Browne Sat urday. . Said Reid, "For the past 80 years the Honor Council has been a jury dispensing rather dubious justice. How superior will the i WnnnT- fnnnpil now hf nndpr a rg .vitalized tradition? The answer .g obvious: We wilI have a court f mercy as weU as one of justice. Said Browne. "It can not be as serted that the Honor System at Carolina operates to perfection, but the proposed changes in the j bill now before the students for J decision does not strike at these ; imperfections; instead they seem to do away with certain of these elements that in the past have contributed to the system's best effectiveness." Said Pope yesterday, "We hope that all of the organizations have already made plans for a float and have selected their candidates for queen. If not, now is the time to do so."

In a letter to the University president, Muntzing mentioned the fact that many of the anten nas installed by the Buildings j Department were damaged by Hurricane Hazel and stated that it is "our hope that the antennas damaged can be repaired by the University." Muntzing also said that since the antennas are fix tures of the building they are legally property of the University. In the event that the University I is unable to furnish monetry aid, Muntzing said the IDC would "ap preciate any arrangements the University could make in furnish ing labor in the repair of the an tennas."

As campaigning came to a vigorous close late yesterday, leaders from both parties predict-! ed a legislative victory. Twenty-nine of the Legislature's 50 seats are up for election today, 21 SP seats and eight University Party seats. ' Only seven of the- SP seats at stake in the election are in town districts the traditional U P stronghold. Thus UP leaders, aim ing at a legislative victory, predict ed a turnover of dorm seats. Dorm districts are traditionally the SP's strongest political grounds. iThe SP has 17 holdover seats in the Legislature and the UP has four. Thus to usurp the SP's leg islative majority, the UP would have to win a number of dorm seats. TURNOVER UNLIKELY However, a turnover in the con trol of the Legislature seemed un likely yesterday since even if the UP won reelections for its town seats and took the towns seats now held by the SP the SP would still hold a majority. UP leaders have been talking in terms of winning 20 seats. On the other hand, SP politicians said they expect to retain most of their powerful margin. HALF EXPECTED Election Board Chairman Gra ham Rights predicted that about half the campus would vote today.
