The "National Commiltee" of the Mock Convention has planned sev eral of these programs to acquaint those who are taking part in the Convention with questions of plat form policy and the organization of the Democratic Parly. He explained that as editor his Ideas ifor improving the paper could not be carried out without an adequate and responsible staff. "If I am elected editor, I shall keep the present staff and try to enlarge it through personal con tacts and staff aid," the former co-news editor stated. In addition to his basic plat form of more campus news and editorials, Riner listed distribu tion as another area in his all around improvement program. "As editor I would conduct a circulation survey in order to de termine better distribution of the paper. Too many papers are being wasted now because of poor dis tribution. Each student is entitled to a Tar Heel, and there should be no excuse- for his -wt 'receiving one each day," Riner stated. Riner also listed several sug gestions for internal improvement of the paper. These include "week- j ed. "1 am ly staff meetings for constructive j thoughtless that he would like to install a weekly "gripe" column for the opinions of students who feel that they are not. being given a chance to do so. "This suggestion was given me while I was talking in the dorms," Yardley said, "and I think it has a great deal of validity. Students are hesitant aoout bringing letters to the Daily Tar Heel, and I'd like to encourage them to do just hat. We seem to have lost perspective on the paper, and to have forgot ten that it belongs first and fore most to the students." Yardley said that many students have asked him about the editori al policies which he might em brace, and commented: "It would not be fair of me to say that I am for this or against that, be cause a person's views depend on the particular situation. ""I would like to say, bowevec, that I am most interested in get ting the facts about a situation before I comment on it," he add- not a proponent of or unkind slander. In Student Government By HENRY MAYER A conference between administration and student leaders was held at noon yesterday to consider Governor Luther Hodges' request that heads of state-supported colleges use their influence to bring tc an end the current series of sit-down demonstrations. Atteding the meeting with Chan cellor William B. Ayccck were Dean of Student Affairs Fred H. Weaver, Assistant Dean William G. Lcng, Student Bodv President Charlie Gray and Daily Tar Ibel Edi'.cr Davis B. Young. At the conclusion of the meet'ng Chancellor Ayc: ;k expressed his confidence in student government "to insure that good judgement pre vails if any crisis should develop in connection with the subject dealt with in the Governor's letter." At his weekly ne-s conference Wednesday, Hodges said that he was primarily concerned with a possi ble breakdown cf law and order in connection with the strikes. criticism of the week's papers; and it is not knowing the facts (See RINER, Page 3) (See YARDLEY, Page 3) The Governor cited a speech by Woman's College Chancellor Gor don W. Black well- as evidence of the type of influence he wanted oth er administrators to use. Blackwell urged the WC student bedy "to weigh carefully the prob able consequences to youself, to j the College, and to the commur.i y j cf any action that you may con-1 template. More specifically," Black-1 well concluded, "I advise each of j you to refrain from any pub ic .demonstration in connection with the issue now before the commu nity." In connection with the Chancel lor's statement, bc.h Gray and Ycung issued prepared statements, giving their positions on the matter. i I 4 r liiiiiMnilnHili-intiin-linrr-f,J'"1lii ininrm ini ir r - n LUTHER Valkyries Honor Nine Coeds In Tapping Ceremonies Friday Nine undergraduate women tarped into Carolina's highest honorary organization for wo men, the Order of the Valkyries, in a secret predawn ceremony Friday morning. Recognized were Miss Mary Scott Blackwell. Ruffin, North Carolina; Miss Kay Margaret Roortz. Council Bluffs. Iowa; ,"' v ,- s ? .

Florida; Miss Nancy Mar garet Faison, Rockingham, North Carolin;:: Miss Alice May Forester, Winston-Salem, North Carolina; Miss Cynthia G. Grant, Orlando, Florida; Miss Rita Patricia Jester, Yardley, Pennsylvania; Miss Maxine Lorraine Lee, Bethesda, Maryland; and Miss Linda Rehm. Sturgis. Michigan. The Valkyries began their candlelight march at 1:30 a m. in their customary black robes and hoods. As the march proceeded through the women's residence halls, the sound of the golden gong called forth those women who were recognized for the Valkyrie ideals of scholarship, leadership, character, and service. Following the secret ceremonies, a special breakfast was serv ed at 6 a.m. in honor of the new members. Former members of the Order were also present for this conclusion of the ceremonies. The Order of the Valkyries was begun on the Carolina campus in 1942 so that outstanding women students might be given special recognition for their services. The name of the organization is taken from an ancient Norwegian legend centered around the war rior god Odin, who represents Thought and Memory and who was mankind's benefactor. Odin had nine select maiden attendants, the Valkyries, who were daughters of the gods and yet were mortals as well. These attendent maidens waited on the tables in Asgarri, but their chief task was to go to the battlefield and decide at Odin's bidding who should wirt and who should die, an then to carry the brave dead to Valhalla, the hall of fame. It was considered a great honor to belong to this chosen group because they shared the glorious com panionship of departed heroes. The purpose of the Order as stated in the Valkyrie Creed is: "As a Valkyrie I will strive to accomplish gladly and quietly the tasks which lie before us, to be unaffected by success and undaunt ed by failure, to have an active interest in the welfare of my fellow students; to act always with a spirit of helpfulness and to try to inspire co-operation in others; to be sincere and considerate on all occasions, to work toward a tolerant and sympathetic understanding of others, and yet to stand staunchly by my own convictions; to be above pettiness in all my dealings and to direct my thoughts and actions persistently toward the highest purposes. As a Valkyrie I will strive constanly toward those ideals of character, scholarship, leadership and service for which our organization stands. The citations read to the tappees were: Miss Lee . . . "one who has willingly shared the beauty of her own life with others. Her quiet and effective leadership has given spirit to her dormitory, which she serves as President. Miss Lee's work on Women's Council has exemplified conscientious thought and a steadfast adherence to her own beliefs. She has continually shown herself to loe "above pettiness in all her dealings."

President Gray, although "being a person who wants to see racial equality become a reality," stated Jiat he "stands against the con tinuance of student sit-down strikes because of the sensationalism con nected wLh the cemonstratiens." Gray stated that a conference has been arranged for Monday with the Clupel Hill Merchants Association in an attempt to reach some agree ment, on .he issue. "I hope through these means that Chapel Hill can set a peaceful example for the rest of .he Sou.h," he concluded. EcILor Young declared that "as long as th? demonstrations remain pe-ctful. I consider them an ef iective means of communicating certain ' inequalities' which exist in j this state." However, Young em ! phasized that "there is a fine line be. ween a peaceful demonstration and violence." In outlining The Daily Tar Heel's 1 position, its editor declared that "we are behinj law and order and i progress and opposed to violence in ; any form." Young aLso urged Governor Hod- ges to hold a conference with the s.udents concerned, so rhat some of .he difticulties might be resolved j 'in tho calm atmosphere of a con- ference." j The full texts of both Young's ! and Gray's statements are printed ! oelovv.
