If the constituency is campus-wide, the petition to recall shall be handed to the president of the student body and shall not be valid unless it ontains the sig natures of at least 10 percent of the qualified voters. . . . The president shall, if he de termines the petition to be in good order, within the limitations of this constitution, direct the Elec tions Board to conduct an elec tion for the office in question, in which the officer in question shall have the right to be a candidate. The incumbent shall continue in office until the election returns shall be officially announced. THE PETITION By E. L. Nance We, the undersigned students, under Art. 8, provision 1, of the crfnnt restitution, request the president of the student body to direct the Elections Board to con duct a recall election for the posi tion of editor-in-chief of The Daily Tar Heel as provided under Art 8. provision 1. of the student Con stitution. TThe RnUW News and Observer Maybe such an election will nnrnose. The issue serve a themselves in the recall election not as a stand on whether they agree or disagree -with the editors in regard to 'professionalism,' but rather that they express them selves in regard to whether or not they feel the1 editors qualified to do their job as the students feel it should be done. (Editors Kraar and Yoder) have flagrantly violated these limits (on the freedom of the press) to meet their personal satisfaction . .. every student enrolled at the Uni versity is a publisher of this news paper and has rights as such. I dare say you will not find any commercial newspaper where the publishers will give complete con trol to the editors - to take any stand they so desire. . Factors which have prompt ed this reasoning: (Nance lists the editors' policy of not printing news from the Interfraternity Council and the Pan-Hellenic Council be cause reporters were not allowed to attend the groups' meetings. The policy w a s shortly afterward eginning By CHARLIE JOHNSON t The recall election, the current topic of discussion on the campus, had its beginning indirectly with Jhe editorials in The Daily Tar Heel criticizing, the hiring of Jim Tatum as head football coach. Editors Louis Kraar and Ed Yo der had been criticized earlier for other editorial stands they had taken last year. The editors said in - their editorials that the hiring of Tatum would bring "professional ism" to the University and would lower UNC's academic standards. TIME Time Magazine carried an article about the hiring of Tatum in which it quoted certain parts of the edi torial. Some students say the Time article implied that the whole stu- l dent body was against the hiring of Tatum. However, the editors later made it known that they had sent a note along with the editorial to Time stating that under no circum sancej was the editorial the opin ion of all Carolina students. It was then that E. L. (Junior) LNance started circulating .the peti tions to recall the editors. Nance said he started the petitions be cause he was dissatisfied with the way the editors were performing their duties. COUNCIL A few days after the circulation of the recall petitions began, Jlich ard Fowler started organizing the Council for Better Student Govern ment to fight the recall of the edi tors. The council also started cir- ! culating petitions to give students with opposing opinions a chance to express their opinions on the L-sue of the recall. These petitions had no legal force, but. only gave students a chance to express their opinion. Atty. Gen. Dave Rcid was ac cused of being the main influence behind the recall petitions. He de- nied the charge several" times, how ever. It is believed by some obser vers that Reid wished to have the editors removed hpran.f nf priifm. Please do whar you can to call ial stands that had been Uken against him and President Don Fowler.

Burch, Chapel Hill Building inspector, has reported. Section 4 of the document says, "When the accumulation of garbage and refuse. . .is of. sufficient volume to require ad ditional garbage and reruse sior age facilities, the occupants (of fraternities, soritics and public eating and rooming houses) shall provide additional storage. . .as may be required by the Town Manager and the Health Offi cer." Garbage Houses were estab lished as being the additional storage facilities, and fraterni ties and sororities were ordered , to build them. The garbage houses cost as much as $300. According to Burch, the fraternities and soro rities were not the only ones hit by the order. He said none of t h e restaurants had adequate storage facilities for waste prior to the ordinance. Dr. David Garvin, district health officer, said the eating places had been worked with before and arrangements have been made to enable them to H carry out the order. Garvin explained that Danzig er's Old World Restaurant and the Carolina Pharmacy do not have room to construct garbage houses. He mentioned several other establishments on the al ley in the same situation. cum in a quartet for flute and strings, K. 285.
