Ringling Brothers Are Small Fry Compared To Convention By WAYNE KING Kids go to circuses. Grown-ups go to political conventions. Sometimes you can't tell which L which. Admittedcdly there was no- saw dust on the floor and the dust-filled air cf the circus ring was .substi tuted for by the smoke-filled air of the eaucius room, but the flavor was there. : Purple foil draped the podium and red, white and blue Hags .shook in the rafteis a delegai.es blasted fcr.h with cheers, Governor Hod- i ges popped the whip as he-made! il clear that as far as he was con-1 ceiv.ed, he and the rest of the Demo- cratic elephant tamers would bring em back alive. There was no flying trapeze eith er. But the ring-master made it NSA Appropriation Approved; Legislature Calls Secret Meet By BOB SEVIER In perhaps the most efficient and productive session of this As sembly, the Student Legislature Thursday night took significant action on several matters. During the debate on budget ap propriations, the legislators voted to crinsert the $1,025 National Student Association allocation in the budget. This action means that the pro posed campus-wide referendum on the NSA question is now cancell ed. The fove to reconsider the earlier move to strike the NSA appropriation, subject to the ref erendum, passed by more than the required two thirds majority, jitirl the final voice vote on the matter was also clearly in favor of the NSA appropriation. This item of the budget and those concerning the Orientation Committee, Legislature, Women's Residence Council, Honor System Commission, Student Council, Men and Women's Honor Councils, Car olina Forum, UNC Debate Squad, and the State Student Legislature were discussed. Earlier the body had approved five appointments made by th:; President of the Student Body, including vade Hargrove, chair man of the Campus Affairs Boand; Johnny Clinard, chairman of the International Students' Board; Davis Young, chairman of the State Affairs Committee; Jim Scott, chairman of the Academic Affairs Committee; and Bob Bay nes, attorney general of the stu- ' dent body The Baynes appointment had been challenged and a special leg islative committee investigating the matter for several weeks. The clear that plenty of political flips would be turned before this conven tion folded its tent and put away its banners. Delegates bobbed about the floor in Hawaiian leis and party hats that would make Barnum aad Bailey lock pallid by comparison. But circuses are for fun, and the tension in the air made it clear that these people weren't just waiting icr somebody to dive into a tub of flaming water or make a rabbii disappear they were waiting to commit them.1-. elves to a candidate who will perhaps assume a role that all the three ring circuses can't match for an audience: Pres- ' ident of the United States. You can have Ringling Brothers. I I'll take a convention. report of this committee was made to the body last week and was discussed at length in a closed session .Since the challenge had since been made known to the student body through The Daily Tar Heel, the body did not meet in closed session Thursday night. The right to approve or reject presidential appointments is one of the major powers of the Leg islature, and the consideration of this challenged appointment was one of the most important tasks completed by the body in quite s-ome time. The legislators are to be commended for the care and dignity with which they investi gated and debated the matter and for the apparent thought they gave before reaching a decision. Due to the fact that action on the budget and several other im portant bills mutt be completed by the legislature at least two weeks prior to examinations, a special session of Legislature has been called for 7:30 p.m. Monday night in the Phi Hall. UNC Doctor Invited To Address Mexico Confab Dr. Warfield Garson of the Uni-' versify of North Carolina School of Public Health has been invited to address the 35th Anniversary Congress of the Pan American Medical Association.

Dr. Garson also will represent the Venereal Disease Program of the U. S. Public Health Service while in attendenee at this congress. SMILING BROADLY and refusing to comment on the current gubernatorial race, Governor Luther H. Hodges delivered the wel coming address at yesterday's opening session of the convention.

Chairmanship Fight; Keynoter Edmondson Highlight Convention An unsuccessful attempt to unseat Chairman Norman B.

The Democratic Party fought all the; tyranny's with "vigorous and imaginative action, and restored Inc nation to business and indus trial health, renewed its hope and confidence and brought a new dig nity and security to American people in all walks of life," said Edmondson. "Neverless," he continued, "we lost the election of 1952 lost it to a great war hero who is still loved! by millions of American people, despite the clear and convincing evi dence, which is present on every hand, that the forces of tyranny haveJtnown a new birth of, power in the seven years and four months of his administration." "The issue in 19G0 is public in terest, versus private interest, in the opration of our federal govern ment, " he said.
