Donald Shaw, .Jerry Shields, A committee of IFC and IDC members to improve fraternity dormitory relations was proposed by University Party presidential cani didate Charlie Gray in a statement released Saturday. This proposed committee is one aspect of a program outlined by Gray to improve conditions for dor mitory men on this campus. Prefacing his suggcsied improve ments for dorm men, Gray said his party, the UP, does not work against the interests of the dorm, as has been charged. He named the Student Party as having "succeeded in building up a psychological barrier between fraternity and non-fratcr-uity men." Speaking from his own experi ence, Gray said. "The first thing that any freshman hears when he comes to Carolina is that the Uni versity Party is not interested in the dormitory men." This accusation, he said, is "pure ly political propaganda, used sel fishly by a party to place its candi dates in office." Gray further charged, "The Stu dent Party has used this device successfully in the past and, I dare say, will attempt to capitalize on it again this year.

Smith, Student Party candidate for student body presi dent, announced Saturday the ap pointment of Charlie Huntington as his campaign adviser. Smith said the campaign adviser would be "the number one posi- ion" on his campaign staff. Huntington has previously scrv- d in Student legislature and was enairman ot the Honor council Commission. He is president of Chi si fratcrntiy and is a member of he Grail. In his selection of Huntington i i t 1 1 . is ms campaign auviscr, rmnui said, "Charlie Huntington is a per son in whom I have the fullest confidence. He has been selected, not. to fill the traditional carbon copy campaign manager role, but was asked to take the position be cause he will be able to lend sound advice and well supported opinions to my campaign." Smith further commented that his campaign and the type admin istration he would run are based on using advice from others. "There will always be room for good thinking, and minds will nev or be kent closed to the views of any sincere person," he said "From the opinions offered by every interested group, every in dividual, conclusions will be for mulatcd to the best of my ability with the primary objective being the selection of policies 'which wil be the most beneficial to the larg est number of students." "I hope the students will finally see the ridiculousness of this ac cusation and realize it is only pro moting a split in relations between different residents on campus. I don't see how the students can vote for a party that deliberately splits the campus purely for political gains." Gray said he would work to rep resent equally all phases of cam pus life. To improve the relations between fraternities and dormitories, Gray's proposed committee of IDC and IFC members would sponsor such acti vities as the Grail Mural Jamboree. With bettered relations established, Gray would then attempt to solve tho "big weakness in dorms- the lack of social facilities." In improving social facilities, Gray said he would begin by with expanding the activities of the IDC. "In my opinion the IDC is prob ably the outstanding organization under student government. In the pest it has been hindered by lack of funds, hut, if elected, I will see that the IDC has sufficient funds to promote an adequate social pro gram for all dormitories." Gray made several specific recom mendations for improving social fa cilities. "As a temporary relief to the lack of facilities, I hope to be able to convert the basement of either Manly or Mangum into social rooms for dating couples," he said. The rooms in these two dorms are being used for storage at the pres ent time, but could be converted i'ito social rooms, Gray commented. Through a combined effort of the IDC, student government and the University administration, Gray said the problem of inadequate social fa cilities in dorms could be alleviated until a new student union is built. Regarding a new student union, Gray pledged that he would work See GRAY, page 3 ty - Fifth Fleece Tapping To Precede Valkyrie Sing Argonauts Stalk Isles For Members I ' .
