This incident could easily have resulted in serious in jury to several people. "It is time for thc students of this campus to realize the serious ness of thc careless and immature throwing of snowballs. Snowball fights in restricted areas and among thc students are fine; how ever, Student Government will start taking disciplinary action a gainst those students who insist on making public nuisances in re- Grigg Pushes Intellectual Atmosphere The following statement is issued by David Grigg, candidate for Pres ident of the UNC Student Body: It is important that students con cern themselves with academic af fairs and the intellectual atmos phere in our university community. We all realize the atomic age and the shock, of Soviet superiority in certain scientific areas. Moreover, this emphasis in recent years has been evident here at Carolina. We have seen this in the rising admission and academic standards. We have also seen it in the increas ing emphasis on grades, intentioal I or uintentional as the case may be. Thus, since out academic environ ment is so important to the stu dents of the university, student government must take an active in terest in this area. This year the Academic Affairs Committee under the Norman B. Smith has done an outstanding job in taking initiative in this area. They have taken interest in a way that students and student govern ment have never done before. Many of these projects which have been started must be continued lest they fall short of being completed. It is my hope to continue and expand this program next year. I would like to mention briefly .some of the specific areas we should be interested in: First of all, student government .must do all that it can toward bet tering the over-all intellectual at mosphere on campus. This year student government started the "Last Lecture Series" which has been quite successful. This series will give Carolina students and townspeople a chance to take ad vantage of the intellectual talent and achievement we have among our faculty. In addiion, I would like to work with and encourage the administra tion to continue their program of advanced and seminar courses. It is essential that we expand this (See GRIGG, page 3) Edwards Notes Past, Future Honor System Phil Edwards, Student Party-endorsed independent candidate for the presidency of the student body said yesterday that, "The Honor System has been the most impor tant issue of the past year and promises to continue as an issue. I would like to be very specific about the honor system and recall cme of its recent history. "A high standard of individual in tegrity and responsibility coupled with mature handling of discipline problems has been a tradition at the University of North Carolina. "During recent years, however, in creased size of the University com bined with other factors to create a situation in which the Honor Council was controlled almost ex clusively by fraternities, frequently by one or two houses. As a result of the dogmatic 'and inconsistent handling of cases ad absolute resis tance to criticism by the Council, ; the confidence of most students in the Honor System reached a low level. "Efforts by the Student Party to remedy these ills, such as the bill providing open trials for those who requested them, were stifled by the entrenched fraternity interests and the veto of the Student Body Presi dent Charlie Gray. When the Leg islature was finally successful in get ting the amendments before the student body, they were all ap proved. Since that time the opposi tion has resorted to all means to prevent the wishes of the student body from .taking effect. This in cludes the speech of President las4 week. The opposition has talked about everything except the plain and simple facts of the situation. "First, we are no longer con cerned with the question of whether we will have certain reforms; the student body decided that in the re ferendum. Those who are blocking measures designed to put the re forms into practice are denying the validity ofthe democratic process.

Chairman David Grigg opened lengthy debate saying that this bill was "one of the most important j pieces of legislation this year." j Th seven page bill moved along in spurts. Closely concerned legis lators stopped section after section on questions of phrasing and ter miology. This on bill donunated the session. An article outlining reasons that a trial may be ended received great est attention. This article is aimed at protecting a reported offender from mistrial. If such a miscar riage occured, then the trial would be postponed. Also getting close attention was one sentence pertaining to the ap propriateness of opening a trial with a prayer. Parliamentarian Gary Greer questioned the use of the prayer, Norman B. Smith defended it, and finally the body adopted an Wednesday, March 1G: sororities in It. P II, 2-4 p.m.; town girls, It. P.

These individual budgets are de termined by the business man agers and business staff of each organization. After completion, the two proposed budgets are then submitted to the Budget commit tee for final approval. f W 1 Free Flicks This week's Free Flicks have two things in common: they have west em settings and are cinema mas terpieces.

THE FOUR FRESHMEN SSL Canceled For the second straight year, the North Carolina. State Student Legislature has been called off due to weather conditions. It was to have met yesterday, to day and tomorrow. No new date has been set for the meeting. WHO, ME? This handsome young man has just learned that he is a prime contender for the esteemed title of Ugliest Man on Campus. Do you know somebody uglier? If so, cast your vote next week. UMOC Entry Deadline Put Up Until Monday These individual budgets are de termined on the basis of the year's expenses and income. In many in stances, the determined amount or an account is an educated conjecture. The principal purpose of the budget is to give the organization a gujde for their income and ex penditures. If the budget cannot provide this function to an ade quate degree, then it is virtually useless. I mention this for the following reasons: In the past, business man agers and treasurers trying to stay within their rigid budget would shift funds from an account which didn't need them to an account which would be over spent. An other method was to code the ex penses to wrong accounts. In other words, instead of cod ing the expense to the right ac count and exceed their approved budget, they would code the ex pense to an account which could handle it and stay within the bud get. The fallacy in these actions is that when the time comes to de termine the budgets, it is more difficult for the business managers and treasurers to make an accur ate estimate, and thereby set up a proposed budget which is ade quate for the coming year. This problem has been dealt Lwith by legislature, and at present i i i j i eacn Dusiness manager ana treas urer of an organization whose ap propriations are governed by the student legislature must submit a monthly financial statement to the Budget Committee. This in effect provides some means of regula tion and control over the condi tion of the budget of the organisation. By SUSAN LEWIS There are so many ugly people on this campus that the Ugly Man on Campus contest deadline has been extended to Monday. This means that all you ugly peo ple can still enter the UMOC race and become famous in your own right. After all, being THAT ugly is a distinction of sorts. Maybe you don't realize you're ugly. Try this simple test: Look in a mirror, ask a coed if you resemble Rock Hudson or Bo ris Karloff, check your calendar to see if you've had a date lately; or, if all else fails, compare your coun tenance with that of the cartoon UMOC or last year's winner, Dirt Farmer. amendment changing the word "will" to "may." The bill's 18 articles provide for standard procdeure during all phases of reporting an offender, bringing him to trial, provided de fense and witnesses, and motions for a new trial. Conduct of the trial and cf the jury covers over a page. As this edition went to press de bate on the bill continued and its passage was expected. There was some discussion in private groups that the bill might be tabled. After a brief intermission Bill Miller, SP representative, called, for a quorum saying that he be lieved the bill was of great enough significance to merit closer atten tion than he felt was being given. As debate drew out, one legis lator in the rear of the hall could be seen bent over a table studying for a chemistry quiz. Many ether bills await presenta tion, among them one to designate November 3 as John Motley More head day. This bill is expected to enliven the next session. Also await ing discussion is a measure giving iegskture support to the student sit-down strikes being held through cut the country. A preliminary count predicts that this bill will be defeated. Bill Miller also raised the point ;hat a list of specific offenses or a "criminal code" should be estab lished before any trial could be conducted or an appeal made. So, you see, you are ugly after all. Since you have to live with your ugliness, you might as well capi talize on it. Just send three 5x7 pictures of yourself in all your gruesome glory to Allan Spader, 109 Lewis, or Don Marshburn, 212 Mangum. Enclose $1 to show that you're really interested and sit back and relax until your picture appears in Y Court, the Scuttlebutt and Len oir Hall. Then the fun begins. Every pen ny is a vote, and with a large amount of friends who agree that you are the best choice for UMOC (enough so to add enough pennies to the cause) you just might find yourself the winner. Symposium Will Feature New Seminar This year the Carolina Symposi um expanded the scope of its pro giam beyond the campus through Quads Turn Out To Welcome Passersby With Snow Attack By HENRY HANK The Upper and Lower Quads, traditional centers of insurrection and unrest, once again exploded into violence Thursday afternoon, as militant Carolina Gentlemen bomlbarded passing cars with snowballs. Although the crowd had been enjoying some good-natured frol icking, trouble quickly developed when a stray missile cracked the windshield of a woman's car. The woman ouicklv summoned the campus police, who promptly ar rived on the scene only to be greeted by jeers, catcalls and a few stray cheers. However, the disturbed driver was determined to avenge the act. without police assistance, so she jumped out of her car and pur sued her attacker, whom she could only identify as wearing a tan coat. The strains of "Peter Gunn's" theme blared forth from a second story window, as the triumphant lady cornered the gent in the tan coat and led him to the waiting officers. The chase itself was an excit ing one with the woman charging through several large snow drifts into a group of boys wearing tan coats, picking out her victim, and chasing" him around Mangum dorm before grabbing him by his tan coated shoulder. Mr. Tan Coat was duly charged with assault (throwing snowballs at people or vehicles is a criminal offense), as the crowd alternately hissed and cheered. Absentee Votes To Be Granted Absentee ballots for the campus-wide elections to be held Tuesday, March 22, will be grant ed to voters submitting a written request for such to Ben Lenhardt, Elections Board chairman, prior to Friday, March 18, 5 p.m. , .

Any student who is unable to vote at the proper polling place for one of the following reasons will be granted an absentee bal- i :he addi-icn of a special Intercol legiate Seminar, an educatonal ven ture promote the development and exchange of ideas between rep resentatives of different colleges. The Intercollegiate Seminar will bring approximately 25 academi cally superior students from a wide diversity of institutions to the Uni versity for the first three days of the Symposium program in order to discuss the Symposium topic of the position of man in the modern world wth the Symposium speakers. Seminar participants will spend the mornings examining the previ ous night's program in a thoroughly planned, closed temnar moderated by Dr. Warren Ashby, professor of ethics at Woman's College. Daring the afternoons, seminar delegates will attend the regularly scheduled Symposium student semi nars, where they will have a chance to hear and contribute to the com- again merits of a more heterogenous group. In the evening, the Intercollegi ate Seminar will attend the regular Symposium lecture. The students who will attend this seminar will be chosen by the Sym posium Committee. So far, appli cations have been received from Mount Holycke College, Brandeis University, Randolph-Macon Col lege, the University of Virginia, Mary Washington, Brooklyn College, Davidson, University of Texas. Any UNC student interested in applying to participate in the In tercollegiate Semnar may obtain application blanks from the Sym pesium office or the Graham Me morial information desk.

(2) absence from Chapel Hill, or (3) any other reason approved by the Board. Requests may be made to Len hardt at 211 Lewis or to Elaine I Livas at the Alpha Gamma Delta house. The Board has decided that all votes cast in the spring elections will not be counted until March 23, due to the impossibility of completing the counting in one night. They will start the process on Wednesday at 1 p.m. and hope to have the final tally by midnight. Roberf Frosf To Entertain At UNC Again Robert 'Frost will come ag, to Chapel Hill. For the fourteenth consecutive time, Frost will pro vide a relaxed evening of enter tainment through a wide selection of his renowned poetry.
