II Elected
President
'"Ed Borden, president of Kappa
Sigma Fraternity and chairman of
the Student Entertainment Com-,
mittee, was recently elected pres
ident of the Interfraternity Coun
cil, according to a report from
the group.
Borden was allegedly elected
president for the 1955 1956
academic year. The report said
Borden has been "active in IFC
affairs for the past two years,"
and that he has served on the
Andrew Bershak Scholarship Com
mittee. The report said Borden "plans
for the Council to continue the
tradition of IFC's coordinating
fraternity activities and affairs
in the best interest of the entire
student body as a whole.
"The IFC sponsoring of one
campus-wide event is in store for
next year," the report said.
Borden was said to replace Hen
ry Issacson as IFC chief.
According to the report, other
officers elected were Ed Hudgins,
SAE, vice-president; Bob Hornik,
ZBT, secretary and Dave Connor,
Phi Gam, treasurer.
The Daily Tar Heel was barred
frorri meetings of the Interfratern
ity Council last Sept. 20. At the
Sept. 20 meeting, the IFC heard
Daily Tar Heel Editor Charles
Kuralt explain why he thought
the meeting should be open and
reported to the student body. The
council voted against open meet
ings. Henry Issacson was presi
dent of the IFC at that time.

"By 1970 there will be a 40 per
cent increase in the college-age
population of North Carolina,"
said Director of Admissions Roy
Armstrong in a talk, titled "The
Impending Tidal Wave of Stu
dents" to the Faculty Club, yes
terday. '
Armstrong emphasized the fact
that the University must begin
preparations now for the tremen
dous increase in the college age
population.
"We can't get the Legislature
to do anything until we are way
down in the dumps," said Arm
strong. "But, in order to meet the
needs of these coming students
we are going to need classroom
buildings, housing facilities, addi
tional library space and increased
student union facilities."
Armstrong especially empha
sized the need for housing for
married students. At present, he ,
said, "there are 150 couples on
the waiting list for Victory Vil

married and come here looking

man. A band concert, reception by
the faculty and possibly, a special
Planetarium show are on sched

will be sent to several parents,
"but it is impossible . to contact
them all. We will have to rely on
the students to invite their pa

Another problem facing the
University, said. Armstrong, is
"upholding our standards" in face
of the increased burden- on the
faculty. The graduate schools are
not turning out enough qualified
graduates to meet the need, ex
plained Armstrong.
Armstrongs explained present
admissions policies. "You," he
said to the faculty, "never see
the ones we reject; therefore you
think that we accept everybody."

Two Cuts
Levied On
Early birds
Students who left for home or
the beach yesterday, or who will
leave early today, and who fail
ed to have adequate excuse, will
be charged with two unxecused
absences, according to the new
cut system voted into effect by
the faculty.
The system, initiated with the
beginning of the spring semes
ter, states "an absence during a
two-day period immediately be
fore or immediately after Uni
versity holidays will be counted
two absences."
the rule replaces the old one
of charging students $2.50 "for
each absence immediately before
and after a holiday."
(President Tom Creasy, in
March, said he had talked wilh
the faculty Committee on Attend
ance Regulations and that the
committee had agreed to change
wording of the new system to
read "any excused absence dur
ing the two-day period" before
and after holidays. The rule for
merly read "an absence.")
Excuses are available only from
the University Infirmary or from
a student's dean.
More than three unexcused ab
sences will fail a student.
According t0 the University
Record, spring recess will start
today at 6 p.m. and will end Mon
day at 6 p.m. Classes will start
again next Tuesday morning.
Final exams for the spring se
mester, according to a schedule
issued yesterday from the Cen
tral Office of Records, will be
given May 24 through June 1.
Quizzes, said the schedule, must
not be given on or after Mon
day, May 16.
Joyner Dorm Has Beach . . .
Coke bottles, imported sand and rows upon rows of bare
backs that's what one is likely to see at the first beach ever
opened on the campus of a North Carolina institution. UNC, ac
cording to the founders of this recreational, spot, now boasts such
a beach. '
It's on the lawn, on the sidewalk, in the street and in var
ious nooks and crannies of the terrain surrounding Joyner Dorm
itory. To control the users of the Joyner facilities certain of the
founding fathers formulated a constitution that contains, in gist,
the following amendments:
1) No profanity uttered on the beach except at law en
forcement officers or any other males who mumble, think or
orate any cutting remarks;
3) No spreading by University employees of "horse, cow or
elephant fertilizer" on the grounds of the beach;"
4) Invitations will be verbally expressed to females regard
less of size, shape or other qualifications.
5) No studying on the beach except The Daily Worker and
The Carolina Quarterback.
According to the found fathers of the waterless beach, the.
constitution was written in the interest of bettering relations with
that "all imporant instution" Carolina Coeds.

Lawmakers Get Budget
Calling For Fee Hike
A recent . recommendation by
the Budget Committee that a ref
erendum be held to determine if
the student body wanted a $5 raise
in fees was given the temporary
axe last night.
The committee's recommenda
tion, which had been figured in
to the 1955-56 student government
budget, was shelved on. the advice
of legislative speaker" Martin Jor
dan. Of the proposed raise, $5 per
student per year, $3 was to go to
Graham Memorial and $2 to stu
dent government.
With the raise, the income of
student government next year
would have been $131,599.70, $7,
711.68 more than was necessary
to carry out the budget's approp
riations' as it stood. .
Without the raise, the student
government budget will have an
increase of $102,507.20. Thus the
Budget. Committee will have to
revise the budget to keep out of
the red.

Winner Never
Lost His Lead
By NEIL BASS
Independent candidate Don Fowler was elected presi
dent of the student body in yesterday's run-off election.
Fowler was picked over University P.arty nominee Ed
. McCurry by a 1,641-1,459 count.
According to unofficial reports, this is the first time
since the two-party system was started at UNC in 1923
that an independent candidate has captured the chief
executive's post.
Fowler said after he received the news of his selection,
"It's the most wonderful feeling that I've ever had in
my life and I thank everybody everywhere on the cam
pus." Fowler 'took the lead early in the vote tabulating as
returns came in from the dorm mpn's districts, and he
never lost his lead.
After the early tabulation was announced, it became a
question as to whether or not the UP stronghold the
Scuttlebutt would swing McCurry into the lead.
All other returns were in and Fowler had about a 400
vote majority. The majority lay in the hands of the
Scuttlebutt. When the vote came in, it was heavily in
favor of McCurry, to the tune of 413 to 167, but even this
heavy margin couldn't turn the tide.
Although the proposed raise
was shoved down the drain tem
porarily, Jordan suggested that the
incoming Legislature might de
bate the raise if a constitutional
amendment was introduced to the
body.
The session at which the shelv
ing took place was not an official
meeting of the Legislature, due
to the lack of a quorum.
Resolution
RALEIGH, April 5. The
House today unanimously adopt
ed a resolution declaring that
the Legislature is opposed to
mixing of the races in public

The Wednesday meeting will
start at 4 p.m., at which time the

emphasis on the difference be

Blood Factor
Is Discovered
By UNC Man
A new blood factor which "ap
pears to slow the rate of blood
clotting" was described by Dr.
Robert II. Wagner, research asso
ciate in pathology and biochemis
try, at the University's monthly
Medical Research Conference
Other research projects on which
reports were made were studies
of certain characteristics of
"Group A" streptococcal cells, by
Dr. John H. Schwab, instructor in
bacteriology, and studies on nu
tritional and metabolic actions of
histidine and glutamic acid, by Dr.
John E. Wilson, assistant profes
sor of biochemistry and nutrition.
The last research conference
was the fifth in a yearly series, at
which different UNC medical staff
members discussed their, current
projects.
Dr. Wagner said the 'new blood
factor has been called "anticon
vertin" because it destroys the ac
tivity of "convertin," which has a
powerful action in accelerating
blood clotting.
Experimentation on this factor
was carried out with dog plasma,
Dr. Wagner explained. He noted
the similarity of anticonvertin to
another clotting regulator, "anti
thrombin." Dr. Schwab discussed the produc
tion by the streptococcal cells of
(See BLOOD, page 4)
enterprises recommended by the
committee.
It is a further step in the co
operative library program that
has been in operation since the
1930's. For more than 20 j-ears
the libraries of Duke and the Con
solidated University have main
tained a union card catalog of
holdings on the respective cam
puses. During this period the four li
braries have freely exchanged
books and periodicals by means of
a truck driven three days each
week from the library here to the
Duke University Library.
Faculty members and graduate
students on both campuses need
ing materials for research from
either library can get it within
one or two days.
