University Party Approves Changes By DEE DANIELS The University Farty passed un animously last night "sweeping changes" in its method of nominat ing candidates for campus elections. During the spring nominating con ventions, each dormitory, fraternity, sorority and Town Men's IV shall be represented by five delegates and a sufficient number of alter nates, all registered UP members, selected at caucuses by each group. It is the responsibility of the delegates and alternates to screen all possible candidates of the resi dence or membership in order to determine those to be nominated by the delegation. Each delegation, whose delegates must be present to vote, shall hav? only the number of votes equal to the number of delegates present. In case one of the delegates is up for nomination, an alternate will take his place at the convention. Voting will be done by secret bal lot and the chairman of each dele gation will submit the votes to the convention chairman. Delegation chairmen are to be chosen by and from the delegation. Caucuses at which the delegates and alternates will be chosen will be presided over by a volunteer registrar from each fraternity, sor ority and dormitory.

S. UNC students may now borrow money from a new $25,303 loan fund that includes a big hunk from the federal government. Chancellor William B. Aycock has announced that the University accepted $22,777 from the national government for student loans. To this amount has been added $2, 531 as UNC's contribution in meet ing conditions of the federal grant under the National Defense Edu cation Act. The grant was the University's portion of $6 million allocated and universities all over the nation. The total value of the present University student loan fund is slightly more than $975,000. Over half a million of this amount is in notes receivable, leaving about $450,000 for potential future lend ing purposes. This fund is separate from the $22,777 granted by the federal government and adminis tered by the U. S. Office of Edu cation. The federal loans will be ad ministered by the University through the same faculty and ad ministrative officials who handle the regular loan funds. The applicant for a loan must be an enrolled student who has academic promise and who can justify need for educational ex penses. Effective Feb. 1, 1959, the rules governing maximum amount and terms of student loans have been made more favorable for r V SPEAKER Dr. D. W.

UNCLE SAM CHIPS IN $22,777 Boosts UNC Loan those who meet the tests of eli gibility for a loan. Slight differences in the criteria for lending money under the fed eral program and under other University loan funds at Chapel Hill were specified toy Dr. C. O. Cathey, chairman of the faculty committee on Student Scholars and Harold Weaver, manager of the loan fund. , The rules for administration of the loan funds are the same for University and federal loans, ex cept for certain University loan funds with restrictions set by the donor which conflict with these rules. A substantial amount, ap proximately half, of University loan funds have restrictions re quiring interest payment while in school and requiring sureties. Conditions governing loans which apply to both the federal funds and some of the other loan funds in the University include: 1. Funds are available to stu dents enrolled in the University who can show genuine need for financial help with their college expenses and who have "academic promise." 2. Borrowed funds may be used for tuition and fees, cost of books, instructional material and equip ment, cost of room and board; transportation and necessary meals for commuters; reasinable expen ditures for living quarters and for married students; other "rea ..if;..jf iff-i-fl t Studen isapp y u By NORMAN B. SMITH The omission of a long-needed new student union from the recommendations of the Advisory Commission to the N. C. General Assembly was disappointing to many administra- lve ana student leaders. In hopes that the student budget by legislative action later resident Don Furtado asserted, 'The case for the student union is still valid and as each day passes showing our present union to be more inadequate, the need becomes more obvious." Severe blows were dealt the Uni versity operating budget also. In creased appropriations for faculty pay, library acquisitions and and re search aid were drasticially cut. PICKED B' BUDGET CEAN "They picked the B budget (sec tion dealing with enrichment and compensation for inflation) as clean as a supermarket chicken," said James Godfrey, dean of the faculty and academic affairs budgetary of ficer. The Commissions' recommenda tions submitted to the General As sembly Monday represented a suc cessful attempt to balance the state budget. This has resulted in sub stantial cuts to budgets submitted by most of the agencies supported by the state. Institutions of higher education suffered especially be cause all of them asked for large increases to meet the needs of sky rocketing enrollments expected in the next decade. Only a IV2 per cent increase was granted to the University operating budget (excluding Health Affairs) which meant that $1,173,857 had to be chopped from University re quests. LIBRARY SUFFERING The program suffering most acute ly from the cuts appears to be the Louis Round Wilson Library. The Commission recommended that none of the additional funds for acquisi tion of new books be granted. This leaves expenditure for new volumes on a low level, Librarian Jerald Orne said. "In general we can't maintain our status under these con ditions. We are in considerable clan ger of being passed by other insti tutions," Orne said. The University library is now ranked third among the libraries of Southeastern uni versities and 24th among the 41 members of the Association of Re search Libraries. completely omitted also was a request to add $20,000 per annum to the aid to faculty research pro gram.

A loan for an individual stu dent may reach, but not exceed, $1,000 in any calendar year, or $5,000 for four years or more. The amount of loan extended is based on the amount of need for educa tional expenses. 4. Loans shall bear interest rate of three per cent on the unpaid balance. 5. Interest is not charged while the borrower is in school on a full-time basis. 6. Students over 21 and com petent to execute a legal contract may borrow without security and without endorsers. Students under 21 require sureties. 7. Loans are to be repaid ac cording to regular, systematic re payment plans effected by mutual agreement between the borrower and the loan fund manager. The borrower is expected to submit a plan of repayment at the time; he leaves school regardless of the maturity date of his note. The special "differences" be tween the federal loans and the University loans are: 1. University loans are avail able the year around. Those en rolled for the summer session on ly are not eligible for federal loans. 2.

An increase in the student-faculty ratio from the present 13.1 to 13.7 (students per teacher) was sanc tioned by the Commission. Dr. God frey expressed the ideal ratio as being in the neighborhood of 10 stu dents to one faculty members. FACULTY PAY RAISES CUT One of the largest increases asked by UNC, a $909,666 schedule of faculty pay raises, was cut to $233,177. These increases are to be assigned on a merit basis with the purpose of retaining key teachers, rather than being employed in across-the-board raises. The administration here agreed that one bright spot in the Commis sion's recommendations was a grant of $735,089 (only slightly below re quests) to extension and public services. The previous General As sembly totally omitted the Exten sion Division from the budget, mak ing it necessary that that branch of the University rely on self-sup port and misc'ellaneous funds. Surprising to many people was the inclusion in capital requests of a $480,000 cafeteria which had been requested by the University for con sideration later in the decade rather than in the coming biennium.

Federal loans are avail able to entering students on the same basis as the University loans; however, in the case of federal loans to other enrolled under graduates and graduate students, students have "priority" if they have "superior" academic back ground and express a desire to teach in elementary and second ary schools, or if their academic background indicates a "superior" capacity or preparation in sci ence, mathematics, engineering or a modern foreign language. 3. Anyone who gets a federal loan must subscribe in writing to an oath or affirmation of his al legiance to the United States of America, and of his readiness to defend its Constitution against all enemies, and also sign an affidavit stating that he does not believe in, and is not a member of an organization that believes in or teaches, the overthrow of the United States Government by force or violence. Inquiries about loans for educa tion at UNC should be addressed to Harold Weaver, Manager Stu dent Loan Fund, 4 Steele Building. Provost Explains Program Absence iDr. Donald B. Anderson, Consoli dated University Provost, explain ed the absence of the regular Chet Huntley program this past Sunday night by saying that the University station wanted to give an unbiased presentation of all issues. The program Sunday dealt with he role of the NAACP in the race problem, and was arranged as an answer to a special program en titled "The Second Agony of At lanta," presented by Huntley dur ing last week. At the end of the program, Hunt ley, in suggesting methods of solv ing the integration problem in the South, pointed out that it would be beneficial if the extremists would get out and let the moderat es do the job. NAACP TECHNIQUES AGGRAVATING SITUATION He added that the NAACP's le gal technique's were not bring about the result intended and were aggravating rather than soothing the situation. This program, being a special' program, was not broadcast by WUNC-TV for lack of information about the programing content with particular emphasis on whether the program presented a definite point of view. Anderson pointed out that since WUNC-TV is a University station, he wanted to be clear that it was not presening anything but a docu coeds. All entries must be sub mitted to Alexander by midnight Friday, Feb. 13. The judging for the contest will be held Friday afternoon, Feb. 20, in the Rendezvous Room at 3 o'clock. Candidates have been re quested to wear party dresses or suits for the judging. Serving as hostesses for the dance Feb. 20 will be members of he Carolina Woman's Council. Chess Team Blanks Duke By 4-0 Score A four -board chess team from Chapel Hill defeated the Duke Uni versity team last Saturday 4-0. Scoring the clean sweep for UNC were Daniel Gallik, Henry Stock- hold, Albert Margolis and Wooten Lewis. The Duke team v s compos ed of David Deamer, James Con nelly, Lynn Buzzard and Walter Farkas. The match was the first of the year for the UNC team. Future matches are planned with such teams as the University of. Rich mond and the Raleigh Chess Club A local 30-30 tournament (30 moves in 30 minutes), which was planned to begin Wednesday even ing of this week, has been post poned until this or some future weekend, in order to permit more players to enter. INFIRMARY Students in the Infirmary yes terday included: Barbara Burkhardt, Dorris Blackwell Braxton, Donna Ly nette Gibbet, Sarah Louise Reese, Ellen Ray Smith, Thomas Kirkman Smith, John Carter Martin, John Barry Talbert, Ber ten Harris Kaplan, Antony Eden Rand, Geoffery Churchill, Joseph Jerry Weisenfeld, George Wil liam Rose, Ann Linn Tolton, Wodie Foltes Mikail, Fred Hicks Reed and Robert Edward Ktler. Mills Marshall Happer and James William Fvrr Jr, mented news presenation. He add ed that he was unable to get in formation about the program, so he did not authorize the station to use the program. WILKINS DEMANDED EQUAL TIME Following the program, Roy Wil kins, secretary of the NAACP, de manded equal time to reply to Huntley's assertions, and Huntley arranged his regular program Sun day night to include Wilkins. Anderson explained that this program was not used because it would have represented only one side of the argument and the sta tion's purpose was to be as im partial as possible. EDITOR ON PROGRAM However, also included on he program was Thomas R. Waring, editor of the Charleston, S. C. News and Courier and a segrega tionist was also on the program as an active participant. Waring was in favor of NAACP withdrawal and pointed'" to the original Huntley program and the massive resist ance program as evidence. Neither Dr. Anderson nor Elmer Oettinger, acting program manager of the University station, could re call any program carried by WUNC-TV that discussed racial is- sues. Oettinger said that he "knew of no reason" why one should not be carried on the station, but that to his knowledge, there had not been one. 3 Top Offices Now Open On GMAB The top offices of the Graham Memorial Activities Board will be filled by March 1 so as to give the new president, ivce president and secretary a chance to work for at least two months with old officers.
