SENATOR HUMPHREY Senator Humphrey is expected Muntzing Scores Cost Of Tickets For Dates Presidential candidate Man ning Muntzing yesterday said "one constant source of Irritation" to the students is the "cost of date tickets to Carolina football games. Muntzing, a Student Party can didate, said his conclusion came after "the past week of campaign ing throughout the campus." "I, along with the vast majority of students, feel that the regular gate price is too much to charge for tickets for the dates," said Muntzing. "In talking with officials con Truman Notifies Gray He Won't Speak Here Harry Truman, former President of the United States, has notified UNC President Gordon Gray that he will be unable to deliver the Weil Lectures here this spring. Gray had invited Truman to de liver the lectures in April or May. Truman said he was in the midst of reading proof on his memoirs for' publication in a national week ly magazine. He said conditions had arisen which would prevent him from "doing the necessary work on the lectures." "We are also just about to start construction on the library in In dependence," said the former U. A head cheerleader, almost anybody will agree, should have a sense of humor. All three candidates for head cheerleader ("Pepper" Tice, Lewis Brumfield and "Collie" Collison) have a sense of humor, and are accept ed among their associates as wits. But politics have entered into the running for head cheerlead er. Last Wednesday, the Student Party endorsed Lewis Brumfield for the position. Monday night, the University Party endorsed "Collie" Collison. The UP move was obviously an answer to Brumfield's endorsement. This year's head cheerleader, Jim Fountain (who made several Kenan Stadium appearances atop the guest box and who was haggling with the U. S. Army for a helicopter ride onto the turf one Saturday), doesn't like the idea of mixing politics and cheers. Fountain said, after Brumfield's endorsement, that he "will not accept" such an endorsement. Fountain was speaking in the position of head of the Selection Bsard, which endorsed Brum field and Tice. The Selection Board is set up as a bipartisan affair. . , . ; the Ballot Box - Fey, to speak on United States foreign policy.

In the field of foreign affairs, Senator Humphrey has been an active supporter and sponsor of Point Four program, Reciprocal cerned with this problem," said Muntzing, "I have found them exr tremely cooperative and in sym pathy with our problem. Frankly, however, I find it impossible at this time to state that I can secure free date passes for students. "It is a financial impossibility. However, because of the new Fed eral reduction on amusement taxes, I have high hopes that some plan in the near future may be worked out for a reasonable reduction in ticket prices. I shall work to the fullest extent of my abilities for this reduction." S. President, "and the cataloging of material that goes into the li brary plus (work on) the book will take all of my time for the next few months." He told a reporter that his hos pitalization at Kansas City for three months last summer set him 'back in his work. He requested a "raincheck" on the invitation "un til next year when I hope to have more time." The lectures, ' endowed by the families of Henry and Sol Weil, are delivered on American citizenship. William Howard Taft delivered the first series of lectures in 1914. But the UP, not to be outdone by SP, endorsed Collison for head cheerleader. The office wonderer wonders if next fall's halftimes will be given over to political addresses. A little mud has started to be slung. One presidential candi date's man claims another presi dential candidate has been "un fair" to the Monogram Club Scholarship Fund. With only six days left until election day, and no ferocious charges made yet, the campaign seems tame com pared to national, state and other campus elections. Human minds, typewriters, night editors, proofreaders and printers get mixed up, especial ly at this time of year, when all things are promised all people by all candidates. LEAVE FRATS TO IDC, SAYS CANDIDATE FOWLER, said the headline. Somewhere along the line, IFC (meaning Interfrater nity Council) got changed to IDC (meaning Interdormitory Coun cil). To set the record straight, Candidate Fowler's statement said he was in favor of putting "overall control" of UNC frater nities into the hands of the In- u Trade policy, Mutual Security and North Atlantic Treaty and the Marshall Plan. , JUSTICE DOUGLAS Justice Douglas was born in Maine, Minn., in 1898. He re ceived his AB degree from Whitman Col lege, Walla Walla in 1920, and his LLB - from Colum- bia School of Law in 1925. Douglas was a member of , the faculty of f W. O.

Gray To Talk At UCLA Fete Next Friday President Gordon Gray will be the guest speaker at the Univer sity of California at Los Angeles, Calif., Friday. President Gray will be the Uni versity's Charter Day speaker for the celebration of its 87th birth day. He will speak twice in con nection with the Charter Day cele bration. The first time will be at 10:30 a.m. (PST) at a special con vocation for alumni and students. His second address will be made at 7 p.m. (PST) at the annual UCLA Charter banquet to be held at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles. The banquet is being sponsored by the Alumni Association of UCLA for alumni and friends. The Charter celebration marks the beginning of UCLA on March 23, 1868, when Governor Henry H. Haight of California signed the en abling act creating the state uni versity. terfraternity Council (IFC). The headline was wrong, and The Daily Tar Heel is sorry. Campaign expenses, according to elections laws, run from $30 for presidential candidates to $12.50 for legislative and Honor Council nominees. Here's the way the law sets down expense maximums: President $30. Vice-president $25. Editors of campus publications $22.50. Secretary-treasurer $20. Head cheerleader $17.50 Student Council $15. All other offices $12.50. . While every other candidate is running around campaigning, co-editorial candidates for The Daily Tar Heel have an easy job. After David Mundy withdrew from the race for editor, Candi dates Louis Kraar and Ed Yoder have had no competition. Yoder has his duties as asso ciate editor as usual, and Kraar writes his daily column and works for The Chapel Hill Weekly. Nevertheless, says Candidate Kraar, he and Yoder aren't sit ting out the campaign. He said yesterday the combine is visiting "500 students." F-P.

Fowler said the student body "will be asked to vote one one of the most important constitutional amendments in the history of stu dent government , . . the Stu dent Council revision, which I would like to heartily endorse and encourage the student body to vote in favor of." (The amendment would give the council one representative each from the Men's Council, Wo men's Council, Interdormitory Council Court, Interfraternity Council Court, Women's Residence Council Court, Law School Court, Medical School Court, Dental School Court and two representa-tives-at-large from the student body.) j Fowler, decides on constitutional questions and hears appeals from theology from Universities all over Europe.

"This would also relieve some of the councils which are already overworked from . being further burdened with appeals," added Fowler. ' .

Colbert Says He's Not Fowler Man After Ackerman Statement Bob Colbert, chairman of the Monogram Club program commit tee, yesterday said it was "un true" he is a sifpporter of Don Fowler for, president, that he is a supporter of Ed McCurry for president' and that Fowler forces have taken a "minor incident" and iblown it "up into a big issue." Colbert's reply came to a state ment Monday by Charles Acker iman, worker for Fowler, that Col Ibert had said "handbills given out by presidential candidate Ed Mc Curry were unfair to the Mono gram Club Scholarship Fund." Fowler, is an independent candi date for student government pres ident. McCurry is University Party candidate. They run against Man ning Muntzing in March 29 elec tions.

In addition to Ford, chairmen of delegations include Miss Harold Lee, Woman's College, and Eugene Pickler, State College in Raleigh. Ford said Saturday's event would be the last this year.

Mayer, a native of Hamburg, Germany, is a student here of Ed gar Alden. He is a member of the first violin section of the Univer sity Symphony Orchestra, and of Phi Eta Sigma Fraternity. George Thomas, Carthage, will accompany Mayer at the piano. "The McCurry handbills had the starting lineups on them and thus took away money from the fund which would have been gained through the sale of the official game programs." Colbert, in his statement yester day, said Ackerman and he dis cussed the presidential campaign "informally." . ' "I told him that McCurry sup porters had distributed handbills with starting lineups at the Blue White game Saturday, and that I thought they might have hurt sales of the official programs, proceeds of which go to the Monogram Club Scholarship Fund." Colbert said Ackerman request ed permission to quote him, and was granted it. Tuesday, said Col foert, he noted the story of his statement, "a very slanted slam on Candidates Present Platforms By ED MYERS All campus political candidates met last night in Memorial Hall, discussed election procedures and briefly presented their platforms. Patsy Daniels, chairman of the Election Board, presided over the meeting which heard speeches ranging from tieless cheerleader candidates to sophisticated presi dential nominees. Don Fowler, first of the presi dential aspirants to speak, said his non-affiliation with either po litical party would enable him to better serve the students. "I shall make appointments on the basis of merit instead of political af filiations," said Fowler. He added he would strengthen the voice of the students, be fil ling to "stand up" for them, and "would not have just 10 of 12 advisors but would listen to any one with a suggestion." Ed McCurry, UP president can didate, , spoke on his motto, "Achievement through coopera tion," emphasizing the need of co operation between student govern, ment and administration. "It is the student's government and not that of the leaders alone," McCur ry said. Elaborating, he said "Of course there will always be differences in ideas, purposes and procedures. There will always be the element of excessive personal pride and ambition on the part of some. There will be those seeking only selfish credit and desiring only to criticize." Manning Muntzing, the last of the presidential candidates to speak, proposed a "four-year-plan." saying "things are not ac complished overnight." Muntzing is SP candidate for president. The six points in Muntzing's plan were changes in classes, par ticularly Saturday classes; hous ing, better facilities for married coupies and a new fraternity row; new student union building; mora support to Carolina spirit; better deal for veterans, "do away with physicaj education and possibly hygiene" and help clear-up the car situation. Bob Harrington, SP candidate for vice-president, said "We should serve fellow constituents and make the student body a more responsible group." Jack Stevens, UP veep candi date, "underlined" service. Ife said the vice-presidency is the place "where real service can be rendered." Planetarium's Lights Are Visible In Carrboro The bright lights recently in stalled on the north side of More head Planetarium are no more powerful than those they replaced, according to Planetarium Manager A. F. Jenzano. The new lights, which can be seen as far away as Carrboro, have a more efficient reflector than the old ones and were acquired by Manager Jenzano from 'a surplus of old lamps on campus. Ed McCurry Colbert said the "only use of 'un fair' in the story is attributed to me. The headline, therefore, im plies I am a Fowler supporter." (The headline read FOWLER MAN CHARGES McCUPJIY ACT 'UN FAIR'.)" That is untrue. "I am a supporter of Ed McCur ry," said Colbert. "After discus sing this matter with Ed, I believe he has no intention of doing any thing detrimental to the Mono gram Club Scholarship Fund or any other good cause. "It is unfortunate," concluded Colbert, "that the Fowler forces have seen fit to take such a minor incident and try to blow it up into a big issue which might take the mphasis of the campaign- off choosing the most qualified candidate."
