"First," said the release, "and this change will be made-the day I take over the editor's responsi bilities the comic strips will be moved off the news and sports pages, on to the editorial page, in order to provide more room on the sports and news pages." Powledge promised, if he is elec ted, to give "complete attention and coverage to Carolina athletics n all-levels." He said be will not fill up the sports page with ma terial that is neither interesting nor informative. NEWS PAGES "The policy for the news page's which I shall establish for my managing editor will not be the same which has been established for me as managing editor during the past two years," said Powledge. Complete and accurate coverage to every campus organization, without exclusion, was guaranteed in the statement. Front page coverage on the ma jor Carolina sports events, includ ing intramural championships was spring, possibly in May, at about 20 centers tnrougnoui xne M.aic, Dr. Purks explained. D. Hiden Ramsey of Asheville, board chairman, said the tests will be on a preliminary basis and wll not be binding on students this year. Next year, however, admiss ion to the three units of the Uni versity will depend upon the grades applicants made on the entrance examinations. Dr. Purk, pointing out that fa cilities of the colleges are taxed to capacity, said that instead of having the student enter on a first come, first served basis, the en trance exams will determine those "best qualified." William Womble of Winston-c-,im o hnard member, aid the exams will give "a clearer picture as to who is ready" for the college work Dr. John D. Messick, president of East Carolina College, proposed j uniform entrance examinations of state -supported schools of higher learnmg. plans to give the off-campus exams next year. Dr. Messick said today West Carolina College and Appa lachian have indicated they want to join the. plan. Ramsey said the University has estimated it would cost approxi mately $14,000 to put the program into operation. If all the state-supported colleges join the plan, it was estimated the program would cost $20,000, he added. Ramsey pointed, out that coi ,egT"nrollments are at capacity Students could take the en trance exams given by the Uni (See BOARD, Page -4) If: N also promised in the release. STAFFS "My fourth proposal for the im provement of the students' news paper concerns the news, editorial and. sports staffs," said Powledge. Revision and expansion of the staffs wil be the order to meet the ever-increasing needs of the news paper, according to the statement. New posts wil be created if Powledge is elected. One of these will be that of "Campus Editor" who will be responsible for com piling an accurate daily calendar Bf cantpus 'meetings and events.'- Another staff member will be assigned the duty of taking any circulation complaints, according to Powledge. This person will have specified hours for receiving complaints. In the case of newspapers' not being delivered, this staffer will be re sponsible for seeing that complain ers get their papers promptly and cheerfully, added Powledge. Thursday night Powledge spoke before the members of the Mono gram Club. His speech was concerned with big-time athletics in particular. "As far as big-time athletics go, I am in favor of the present athletic set-up here," he said. A rumor that Powledge has dropped out of the running is false, the candidate reported yes terday. The mistake, said Powledge, was due to a headline in Thursday morning's paper saying "Powledge Resigns ..." The article carried the news of Powledge's resignation from the position of Managing Edi tor. Powledge said he resigned in order that he might more effec tively and fairly carry on his cam paign for editor. CandidafesJo Be Honored At Fashion Shov Candidates in the spring elec tions will be the honored guests at a fashion show and reception sponsored by the Independent Women's Council and slated for March 21.

Robins and Town and Campus, they will model outfits suitable for every phase of campus life. Something new and exciting in formal wear is expected to be shown according to Bob Simpson, coordinator from Town Campus. Coed fashions are being coordi nated by Miss Betsy Fowler. Miss peg Humphrey will commentate the show. Miss Martha Stogner, IDC presi dent, hopes the occasion will en able students to meet and become better acquainted 'with the candidates.

The debate will be with a new debating society at Women's Col lege. The Di and the Phi will not meet at their regular time Tuesday. Proponents of the bill are ex pected to argue that each state possesses certain unalienable rights, among which is the power to interpose its own authority be tween the Federal Government and the people when the Federal Gov ernment exceeds its Constitutional limitations. They are also expected to ar gue that the Federal Government intends to extend its control over our educational system until it can control the curriculum through out the country on a uniform bas is.

"With an effective FM relay sys tem available several more sta tions are expected to join the net work," according to John Young, manager of WUNC. Young and Jim Exum, chairman of the Sym posium's Committee on Broadcast Arrangements, have planned the state network. Young said there is a good pro spect of national coverage.

Ralph Casey, UNC physcal educa Easter In New York; What To Wear There? By PEG HUMPHREY r The campus is sizzling with expectation. . Eagerly awaiting Easter holi days, some students dream of baking on southern beaches , while others visualize themselves among the ranks of Fifth Avenue paraders. The question "what to wear" often poses a problem to the New York bound. Coeds vacation ing in the big city during spring holidays will discover that New Yorkers have a certain distinc tive style. Billowing, flowery print gowns and spotless white linen pumps so perfect for many southern communities are strik ingly wrong on Fifth Avenue ' and cause murmurs of "Tourist" among Manhattan dwellers. The masses in New York dress according to their environment which they frankly admit is full of soot. Therefore, they stamp taboo on pastel dresses and shoes which Seem to shriek welcome to the dust and other spot-making elements which prevail in their bustling city. Navy, black, and brown sheaths highlighted by polished patent lether or matte calf pumps and Legislature Roundup: Vote On By NEIL BASS Lawmakers cleared their agenda in a hurry Thursday night. Only two measures came up for consideration, and students legis lators got these out of the way in short order. One bill was a mere necessity concerning money appropriation to the Elections Board. The other, a report recommend ing liberalization of the present class cuts regulation, required only one question before representa tives gave it approval. It calls for the allowance of 'un limited class cuts" to students in their third and fourth years of school. UNLIMITED CUTS As for first and second year students, unexcused class cuts, ac cording to the report's provisions, would still be limited to three. The report, approved by the Leg islature, must now meet Universi ty, approval before it can go into effect The Faculty.

Attired in this manner they are able to survive many hectic jammed subway ex presses or hike numberless blocks and emerge from it all as dazzling as they appeared at dawn. Heel heights on Fifth Avenue are practically lower. The IVz or 2 inch pump with a skinny heel providing the illusion of greater verticality is preferred by the majority. Handbags are notably larger and spark the simple undetailed sheaths. Huge pins dazzle on sleeves, necklines, purses, or hats, but only one per person. No matter how high the ther mometer soars, gloves are al ways worn. Parodixically these are often white, but within an elegant tote bag there is unsually a fresh pair. This year the Fifth Avenue set will probably be somewhat more colorful due to the Oriental influence and the spiraling pop : ularity of citrus colors. Easter Sunday will doubtless find many in orange, red, and vivacious blues.. d Cut Bill Slated Soon Jerry Martin, is slated to vote on the idea in April. The Legislature's next session, slated to convene next Thursday night at seven o'clock, will delib erate the recommendations of the Constitution Revisional Commis- sion concerning modification and clarification of the student Con stitution. fc The most important change which the Commission is recom mending concerns student govern ment's judicial branch. i It calls for the concentration of all apellate jurisdiction, in the hands of a proposed Faculty-Student Council. The recommendation, which must be approved by the student Legislature, the student body and then the Faculty Council would give the Faculty-Student Council full discretion concerning right of appeal. All specific rights of ap peal would be stricken from the Constitution. NEW COUNCIL The Student-Faculty Council By FRED POWLEDGE It was apparent here yesterday that Charles B. Childs, University student who posed as a communist- for the FBI, will testify at House Un-American Activities Commtttee hearings in Charlotte next week. The hearings will start Monday, and will deal with alleged com munist activities in North Caro lina. While Childs would say neither yes nor no when asked if he had been subpoenaed to appear at the hearings, a check of the Univer sity's Office of Central Records showed he had been excused from classes Monday, Tuesday and Wed nesday. The University declined to state the reason for Childs' ex cuses. However, it was understood that Childs had obtained the excuses so he can testify at the Charlotte hearings. Child's appearance at the trial of. Junius Scales, self-admitted Communist leader for the Caro linas, came as' a shock to Univer sity people last April 18. UNDERCOVER The 24-year-old mathematics student testified in the Smith Act trial he was an undercover agent for the Federal Bureau of Investi gation. He was a member of the Communist Party under Scales, he said, until August, 1952. Childs' testimony surprised many students and professors, even his closest friends. He was, and still is, a quiet, soft-spoken student. Many people on the UNC campus came to know Childs after that. The Daily Tar Heel termed the "Case of the Girl in the Yel low Raincoat" One rainy Saturday two years ago, the University, WToman's Col lege in Greensboro and N. C. State College in Raleigh held a tri-yearly "Consolidated University Day." Students from the three branches of the University came for an afternoon of socializing. Childs, walking across the camp us, was stopped by a pretty WC girl. She wore a yellow rain coat. The girl asked Childs the way to Graham Memorial. He pointed the way, and the two parted. Later, according to The Daily Tar Heel, Childs. began thinking about the girl. He searched for her all day, but couldn't find her. After the student newspaper heard of Childs' situation, a two campus search was started. WC girls and UNC students tried to find the girl, but couldn't. Childs, meanwhile, bemoaned his loss. He never found the girl. SCIENCE WRITER Later, he came to work for The Daily Tar Heel as a science writer. His editors said at the time he was one of the few students who could take a subject as the atomic bomb and explain it to the average stu dent. would be composed of the chair man of the Men's Honor Council, Women's Honor Council and Stu dent Council. The faculty would be represented by three members, one to serve as chairman. All other recommendations which the Commission has made must be approved only by the stu dent Legislature and the student, body. The Legislature will make its decision on the revisions next Thursday night Hutchinson Will Speak At Joint Y Conference Dr. John A. Hutchinson, chair man of the Religion Dept. of Co lumbia University, is the featured speaker for the joint YMCA-YWCA Conference which is being held at Bricks this weekend. . On Saturday students attending the conference will participate in discussion groups led by UNC students. There will also be wor ship and recreation periods. Elections Changes The Interdormitory Council rati fied certain changes in its by-laws at a Wednesday night meeting. The most important change will necessitate the election of dormi tory presidents and vice presidents before May 1 of each year. Currently all dormitory officers are elected in the fall; but this new change will necessitate the election of all dormitory officers except the top two executi"es in the fall. DORM OFFICERS The reason Jim Monteith, Rules Committee chairman, gave fur recommending this change con cerned "continuity." Under the old system, dormitory government could not operate dur ing the early stages of the fall semester because no dormitcry of ficers were in office to instigate proceedings. Under the new sys tem, dorm government will be able to begin with the advent of the fall semester. The reason given for not elect- ! ing all officers in the spring con cerned leaving available offices for incoming freshmen. Positions, other than the dorm presidency and vice presidency, will be open to freshmen competition. The only other major change to the IDC By-Laws created an ad ditional standing committee, the Dormitory Improvements Commit tee. This committee's main purpose, according to the by-laws is "to seek out . . . methods of improving and increasing dormitory facili ties." BLAZERS According to an announcement made at the session, a representa tive from Robert Rawlings Co. will be on campus next Thursday to fit coats for interested students. Fittings will be conducted in Gra ham Memorial's ltcndzvous Room. SOCIAL A social will be held after next Wednesday night week's session. Nominations for IDC officers for the coming year will also be rati fied or rejected at the meeting. Women's Press Institute To Be Held Here Advance reservations indicate that a large number of newspaper women will attend the third annual North Carolina Press Women's Spring Institute here next week, according to Frances Walker, chair man. Featured speakers at the two day session will be the noted fi nancial columnist, Sylvia Porter, and the woman's editor of NEA services, Jean Mooney. The Spring Institute will open with registration in the lobby of the Carolina Inn at 12 noon Sat urday. The opening session at 2:30 p.m. in Carroll Hall will feature a reader panel discussing "What We Read and Why." Serving on the panel are Chapel Hillians Dr. Guion G. Johnson, president of the N. C. Women's Council; Or ville Campbell, publisher and bus inessman; and Noel Houston, prominent novelist. Walter Spear man' of the UNC School of Journal ism will be the moderator. Jean Mooney will be heard later in the afternoon offering sugges tions and helps in improvement of women's pages. Miss Porter will speak at the banquet to be held Saturday.
