This group was more ah oratorical so ciety which meet annually for de bate than a legislative assembly In the fall of 1947 the fraternity announced that it had dissolved itself and the legislative assembly. fThis act resulted in action on the part of the Debate Council herr at Chapel Hill in making an all out effort to revive the group. After long discussions, repre sentatives from State, Meredith, WC and UNC decided to continue the assembly. In November this and elected Earl Fitzgerald of Carolina, president. Members to this year's assembly were chosen on the basis of per sonal interviews with the selection board. This selection board was head- j ed by Carolina's two members of j the Interim Council, Joel Fleish J man and Sue Fink, Hon Fleishman To Ask Council About Verdict The Election Board de clared yesterday that the Town Men's I Legislature race was valid, , and Student Party Chairman Joel Fleish man appealed the decision to. the Student Council. The controversy, which re-! suited from what the Election Bs(ard called a printer's error, arose Tuesday when it was learned that Colin McMillian, a University Party legislative i candidate, had been omitted from the ballqt; ' The Election Board, in announc ing its decision yesterday,!' said that since McMillian did not; wish a re-vote, the election was valid. Fleishman, in contesting ; ; the Election Board decision, contend ed that Election Board Chairman Graham Rights had told him early Tuesday;the race would be invalid. "We would have worked to get the vote out. But- since Graham told us the election wasn't valid, we didn't" Fleishman said. Rights said that he did tell Fleishman that, but . later , learned it was a mistake. APPEAL TODAY Theft Student Council will hear Fleishman's appearl today at 4 o'clock- Fleishman, however, said he would not be able to attend himself and would have to send a representative , ' i " ' McMillian told Rights Tuesday morning that he would ask for a re-vote, according to ; the Election Board chairman. Then, after the votes were counted, he changed his mind, Rights said. "The UP won four of the five seafs open in Town Men!s I in "the election? thus party leaders 'have' no desire to re-run'' the election. On the other hand, the SP is eager to gain:. a re-vote because it could mean more seats, . . In "making, its decision, the Elec tion Board declared: "Due to a printer's error in the ballot for the Legislature in Town Men's I, Colin McMillian's (UP) name was omitted. This error was not discovered until yesterday's election. This left the election in that district open for contestion (sic) by the candidate whose name was left off the ballot. McMillian said that he did not want to con test the election, and if there was a re-vote in that district, he would withdraw his name from the slate. "However, i since there was no contestion' (sic) bv the candidate in question (McMillian), the Elec tion Board decided' by a unani mous decision that the ballot in Tuesday's election, .in Town Men's t be . considered valid and that there were no grounds for a re vote to be held in. that district."

J IT "T THE HORACE WILLIAMS HOUSE ' ... even now, it lives Horace Williams House Is An 8-Sided Shrine . By BARBARA WILLARD "We don't live in a house, we live in a shrine," Dean Fred Weaver said of his home. It is listed in the phone book as simply 611 E. Frank lin St.., but it is listed in dozens of other books as a place of historical significance. This "shrine" once was the home of Horace Williams, who came to Carolina in 1891 as a professor ; ' He. i had been here as a student and native North Carolinian many times before. Williams returned to his old alma mater to take cha rge of philosophy and psychology, a brand new field of instruction at the Tar Heel University. At this time, George T. Winston was president and also occupant of the house that Williams was to make famous. The house, according to Robert W Winston, Williams' biographer, was built n 1840 and known for a time as the old Hildreth Smith place. Here Hoke Smith, Secretary of the Interior under Wilson, sp ent his early days. It is also said by some that a man named Hedrick built it in 1840. Each person has a different story to tell about the origin. In her Letters, Mrs. Cornelius Phil lips Spencer says the house was first built in the shape of a hexa gon, but Dean Weaver, being very familar with the house, says that it was in the shape of an octagon, the reason for this supposedly be ing that the man who built the house thought that bees were the most advanced civilization, and a symbol of the bee hive should be the strongest form of structure. Each room was built so as to have a fireplace and an outside door. To appreciate the signifigance of the house, one must first ap preciate Williams.

He lived; along alone after his wife died. He was a crank, a character. "When he lived in the house it was a dungeon, but not now. It has all the drawbacks of an aid house, but we love it." "NIGHTMARE" Winston, in his sons "The one-J story, stuccoed house was old and misshapen, a rambling, inconven ient affair on the side of a steep incline. At the bottom of the hill was the famous Roaring Fountain, a spring distant two or three hun- j f"uuiB cna repruduuns jvu. dred yards from the house. From, ; GADFLY'S HOME this spring and up that long in-! This is the gadfly's home, a re cline water for the home must be proach to comfort in his day, a toted.

I important thing, and a thing that In truth it must be said of the old j place that for the inconvenience nc I' i. p of housekeeping it had no parall el except perhaps the habitation of an eastern Yogi. . .Mrs. Wil liams made some improvements in the house. On the south side she arranged a study. She like wise changed the vestibule into an inviting studie. But even with these additions the place- was so old and poorly arranged that it is a nightmare." Improvements have been made .i i . i l a. . i . : u i L iiuunsumc mare was mucn visited even them. Dean Weaver once visited Williams in his home. "I consider ed him a great teacher," he said. "It never entered my mind I'd live in his home." When Horace Williams died he j left everything that he had to the University, including his Jiome place, with its vast yards and big old oak trees. When Hurricane Hazel visited Chapel Hill recently she blew over the biggest of the oak trees and supposedly the larg est tree in Chapel Hill. It was es timated at 300 years old. There j was a slight damage to the house, j Another interesting aspect of ; the house is the fact listed in ' many reference books, including the British reference book, there is one room in the house that hasj 14 sides. i The house has a nistory; from j the man Smith who had a political: i record or if Hedrick built ti, he; , Tr... r was run out of Chapel Hill for pro-1 , A . i slavery views.

And Chuck Hauser, former managing editor of The Daily Tar Heel and author of the handbill, accused Reid of displaying "poor sportsmanship" over the defeat, of his leniency bill." After the elections in which his leniency bill was defeated Tuesday night, Reid said that "one of the most disappointing features of this election was the conduct of some of our opponents on the Honor Council." He said he was "sorry that they felt it necessary at the 11th hour to lower the tenor of the' previous ly high level campaign." Said Hauser, "As long as this is his attitude, let him attack me and not the Honor Councils for the anti-leniency bill poster which was circulated the night before elections." 'PERSONAL OPINIONS' Hauser said that the handbill "expressed the personal opinions of myself and other individuals campaigning against the bill" and that it . 'contained no "negative slander and fabrication." Browne indicated that he had carried on a personal campaign against Reid's bill for leniency in the case of first offense vio lators of the Honor System. It was known yesterday that Gordon For ester and several other members . of the Men's and Women's Honor" Councils had carried on similar campaigns. "I think that the most important point," said Browne, "is that the Honor Council had nothing to do with putting out the poster." Browne also thought the hand bill contained no "negative slan der and fabrication." According to reports from Hau ser and President Tom Creasy, Hauser wrote the handbill and Cre asy approved it. Ed McCurry was instrumental in distributing cop- ies about campus. Hauser had asked interested in dividuals to ( help pay for print ing costs. Browne said yesterday that he has been asked to contrib ute, but that he had "not decided" yet whether he would or not. He said that if he did it would be as "an individual and not aj Chairman of the Men's Honor Council." Following is the text of the handbill: "Don't undermine the Honor System; don't approve a 'free cheat' law which will encourage students to take a chance on the first offense; don't vote for a pol icy which would let cheaters know thev could cet away with it the first timc; donl tear down the Carolina way of life by permitting persons wh0 have lied, cheated or stolen to go unpunished, vote no on the referendum for first of- fense honor violations." Prof. Wells Will Lecture Prof. William Wells of the Eng lish Department will deliver the Faculty Lecture in the Humanities for the fall term in Gerrard Hall at 8 p.m. next Tuesday. His topic will be "Erasmus and the Praise of Wisdom." Professor Wells has been a member of the UNTC English De partment since 1935, when he came from a teaching appointment at the University of Southern Cali fornia. From 1943 until 1945 he was Academic Co-ordinator of the Navy V-12 program in the Univer sity, and from 1946 to 1952 he was Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. At present he is chair man of the University faculty. id
