One cf his chief hobbies was collecting rare old books, letters and manu cripts, valuable and unique first editions, many of which are now in the Whitaker Collection of the Rare Book Room of the Louis R.

These coeds include, "commit tee members, whose time and attention is perhaps to be occu pied until after 1:00 and voting delegates, who ought not to leave the Convention until it has ended and it possibly will not have ended until after 1:00." The notice from Dean Car- michaael stated that women stu dents under these categories are to sign out specially for this event and they will be expect ed to return immediately after the convention ends. They are to be in their dormitory by or before 2 a.m., depending upon the time that the Convention ends. In the event the Convention breaks up by 1 p.m., the coeds are expected to return to their dormitory or sorority by the normal closing hour. "I hope that men attending the Convention will see to it that these young ladies do not have to go across the campus by themselves at a late hour," said Dean Carmichael. Parents To Visit UNC During The Weekend Students and Alpha Phi Omega service fraternity will play host to families and friends when the 10th annual Parents' Day is observed Sunday on the campus here.

However, before the Convention actually opens, there will he a parade through downtown Chapel Hill at 1:30 p.m. Parade Manager Bob Wilkinson said about 30 units have entered plus "a whole herd" of donkeys. After Governor Hodges' speech, there will be Committer reports and the session will b adjourned at 5:30 p.m. "Of course, most of these times are approximate," said Chairman Norman B. Smith, "Because there's no telling what might happen to throw the whole thing off sche dule. There have been rumors that things might get a little out of hand." Smith refused to say what sort of rumors he has heard. The main order of business to tonight when the second session opens will be the keynote address by Congressman Ed Edmondson at 9 p.m. The platform will be adopted tonight, also. "We feel that the platform adoption will be one of .the more interesting things in the Convention, next to the ballot ing for President and Vice- Movement Started To Recall Mock Convention Chairman By MARY ALICE ROWLETTE A movement has started on cam-! pus to recall Norman B. Smith as Chairman of the Mock Democratic Convention tomorrow because he is a Republican, according to Bob Fu trelle, president of the UNC Young Democratic Club. In a statement issued yesterday Futrelle said, "As I understand it, the Mock Democratic Convention is seeking to pattern itself after the National Democratic Convention as nearly as possible." "One of the most realistic things it could do, therefore, would be to remove by recall the confessed Taft Republican that is its chair man. Despite his good works the Democrats on this campus should not permit Norman B. Smith to continue after their first chance to get rid of him. "We have enough good Democrats on this campus to handle our con ventions without help from the GOP,' Futrelle concluded. He said yesterday afterrfoon that he felt sure that the YDC would adopt his A.

The second session should li adjourn ed by W.'.'.O p.m., aeeonling to Smith. Tomorrow's first session will he gin at 2:30 p.m. Most of the ses sion wL'l be the nominating speeches for the Presidency. Smith said he had no idea how many of these speeches would be made, since there are several favorite son candidates. "These speeches are reported to be very colorful," said Smith, "Although all the pressure groups are keeping them pretty secret." Senator Albert Gore from Ten nessee will give the Party Unity Address at 8 p.m. Immediately after the address the balloting for candidates will begin. After the presidential candidate has been selected the Vice-Presidential bal loting will begin. "We have Saturday night's ses sion scheduled to end at 1 a.m.," said Smith, "But it's possible that it may last longer."

'Mr. Smith is confused," said Jchrson. "IIe jut thinks he is a Republican and, actually, he is not registered with any pnlnical party and, since his work with the Mock Democratic onvention, I feel sure he thinks of himself as more of a Democrat than Republican." Johnson went on to note Smith's long, hard work on the Convention for early a year and his value to the Convention.
