Friday night German Club mem bers and their dates will settle back in Memorial Hall to listen to the barrelhouse and blues of Ray Char les, noted blues singer, pianist and jazz composer. German Club President Jona than Yardley said that the Club is presently negotiating with sing er Carmen Macltae for an Inter mission appearance, but that de finite arrangements have not yet been made. The Ray Charles story began sim ply enough twenty-eight years ago in Albany, Ga. Six years later the Charles family was living in Greens field, Fla. and the first tragedy struck - young Kay was blinded, completely and without hope for recovery. The 6-year-old youngster was sent to St. Augustine, Fla. where there was a school for blind children and there he grew up. Actually, Ray Charles only got to grow up to the age of fifteen before fate struck its next hard blow. That year both his parents died. Ray was blind, or phaned and without a relative in the world at fifteen. It is at this point that the fan- j tastie development ol the Itay Charles career began. He left the school and went out on his own. He had acquired some musical knowledge and right away he got jobs playing around Florida with a variety of bands. Within two years he had an enviable reputa tion as a sideman. Then at 17 the intrepid youngster decided the time had come to do something on his own and he organized his first trio with a bass and guitar to , blend with his piano and his sax. That trio got as far away from its Florida beginnings as Seattle, Wash., where Ray had what he de scribes today as his biggest thrill1 in the business. The radio show that the trio had was a regular one, and they were the very first Negro act to have a sponsored television show in the northwest. Although Ray Charles is dedicated io his music and is seldom far from it in his thoughts, he has a variety of other interests. Like everything he does, even his hobbies seem like amazing feats in view of his handi cap. He is an expert domino player and almost unbeatable at cards narticularly whist and dirty hearts, ilis sense of humor is completely .nfccUous and wherever he is, he's .ikely to be the life of the party. Another important sidelight .to the Ray Charles career is his de votion to spirituals. He listens to gospel songs incessantly on rec ord (he always travels with a sup ply), on tape, (he collects them on the spot in churches, etc.) and while touring from date-to-date on his car radio. Says Ray Char les, "I attract my soul from this music." "Ray Charles is one of the really reat talents in music today," Yard- ley said, "and should give a terri- ic concert." He added that there are onry a lew mas avauaDie io .ion-members. By DAVE JONES Last night the Student Legislature gave the Men's IDC $200 in its 1960 61 budget to aid its "best Dorm" competition. The appropriation was added to the $1980 already set aside for the IDC. The legislators specifically ear marked the money to be spent as follows: $100 to the winning dormi tory; $30 each to the second and third ranked dorms; one half of the sum to be spent on dorm itory improvements; on half to be spent on entertainment. In taking the action, the legisla ture felt that it was giving the dormitory men a specific goal towards which tney could work. The body recognized the limitations of a tropny which will only gather dust, and gave money as the incen tive to spur competetion. In other action of the budget, the legislature took the UNC-Toronto University exchange program com pletely out of the appropriation. The budget committee and the finance committee had set an appropriation of $180 up for the program. Objections to this amount were raised on the question of the true representation of the student body m such activities and on the ques tion of the submission of the plans for such programs to the legisla ture before they are undertaken. Also deleted from the budget be cause cf planning limitations was the item for the 1961 Senior Class. The budget called for $1100, but this sum was stricken with a re quest that the 1961 graduating class, through its president, present its complete plans to trie legislature. In this manner the legislature will be able to approve or disapprove the activities planned and the item chosen for a Class Given Gift. Also postponed, was the item for Student Government Yackety Yack space. The editor and the business manager were asked to appear be for the body Thursday night. At this time the item will be consi dered and certain questions in the minds of the legislators will be asked. Among these questions is one concerning the twenty dollar per page profit taken by the Yack on Student Government space.

Last Minute Confusion Robs Chessman Of Half-Hour Stay SAN FRANCISCO (AP) Time ran out for Caryl Chessman Mon day in the chambers of a federal judge who said he would Have granted him a 30-minute delay if there had been time. Obviously irked over the hectic finale, U. S. District Judge Louis E. Goodman lashed out at Chessman's lawyers George Davis and Miss Rosalie Asher. "I don't know what was wrong with those lawyers," Goodman told newsmen. "One of them at least should have been here earlier." The clock was nearing the 10 a.m. hour of execution in San Quentin's gas chamber, 20 miles away, when Chessman's lawyers, having waited out three adverse decisions in California Supreme Court, rushed over to the Federal Building six blocks distant to again petition in Federal Court. They filed their petition at 9:55 a.m. and spent a few minutes explaning the status of the case. Judge Goodman ordered a secre tary. Celeste Hickey, to telephone the warden's office. She took the number GL 4-1460 from a court clerk and dialed, but left out the first 4. Perhaps 30 seconds elapsed before she put in the call correctly. By then the cyanide pellets had been dropped. Wren the call from Judge Goodman's office came the prison told the secretary "it's too late." 1960 Pulitzer Prize Winners Named NEW YORK (AP) Allen Drury. a Washington newspaper cor respondent for 17 years, today w3n the 1960 Pulitzer Prize in fic tion with the first novel he ever wrote, "Advise And Consent." It is a story of politics in the nation's capital. The award for drama went to "Fiorello!" the first musical to gain Pulitzer recognition since "South Pacific" in 1950. The Los Angeles Times won the Gold Medal for Meritorious Public Service for its successful newspaper campaign to cut down narcotics smuggling into this country from Mexico. Vance Trimble of the Scripps-Howard Newspaper alliance won the 1960 prize for national reporting, as a result of an expose of nepotism on congressional payrolls. The accolade for international reporting went to A. M. Rosen thal of the New York Times for perceptive and authoritative re porting from Poland. The Polish government ousted him from the country because of the stories that brought him the Pulitzer award. Lenoir Chambers of the Norfolk Virginian-Pilot brought that newspaper its second Pulitzer prize for editorial writing, with edi torials on school segregation problems in Virginia. The newspaper last was cited in that category in 1929. , There was no award this year in the newspaper cartoon field. Kennedy, Nixon Vie In Indiana INDIANAPOLIS (AP) A vote-drawing contest of national sig nificance between Sen. John F. Kennedy and Vice President Rich ard M. Nixon, plus nomination of Congressional, legislative and county candidates, is expected to draw more than 700,000 voters in Indiana's primary today. The Presidential preference vote, in which neither the Massa chusetts Democrat nor Nixon has major opposition, binds national convention delegates for the first ballot only. But if Kennedy out polls Nixon it will add considerable steam to his drive for the Democratic Presidential nomination. Nixon, alone in the field for the GOP nomination, might be fac ed with renewed talk of a movement to draft someone else like Gov. Nelson A- Rockefeller of New York if he doesn't make a good showing against Kennedy. South Korean Riots Pose Test SEOUL (AP) New student demonstrations rolling up in the south confronted South Korea's caretaker government with its first possible test Monday. Seoul was quiet, but it was recalled the demonstrations that un seated President Syngman Rhee's regime also began in the south and spread to the capital. The demonstrators in the south central city of Taegu and the southeast port of Pusan Monday defied martial law. They carried placards reading: "Dissolve the National Assembly. This is the order of the people." The Assembly, still dominated by Rhee's Liberal Party, showed no inclination to comply. First it elected an opposition Democrat as speaker to succeed the late Lee- Ki Poong, Vice President-elect who died in a suicide pact with all his fainilv. Dems Give Gym Back To Basketballers Basketball can return to Wool len Gym now. Carolina's first Mock Democratic National Convention officially ad journed at 1:24 a.m. Sunday, and by early Monday the last cigarette butt and campaign poster had been swept up. The gym, however, still echoed with calls to "poll the dele gation" and "all the way with Adlai." Certain portions of Saturday night's session took on the ap pearance of an old-fashioned re vival meeting. Dr. Earl Wallace, permanent honorary chairman, in formed the assemblage that Nor man B. Smith, the guiding spirit of the convention who had been criticized for his GOP affiliation, had seen the light. When pressed for details, the chairman reported that earlier in the afternoon Norman B. had con verted and registered for the May 26 primary as a Democrat! After the cheers and cries of "speech! , speech!" had resolved into a dull roar, the new recruit stepped forward to address his brethren. "I don't know what hap pened," the lanky senior drawled. "I'm . a Democrat now, and ex tremely happy." The rest of his remarks were'nt audible above the din. Chalk up one more vote in No vember, folks! andidaie Two Ballots Needed To Pick Adlai As Convention Closes Students at the Mock Democratic Convention needed only two ballots to nominate Adali Stevenson as their can didate for President of the United States in the early hours of Sunday morning. Then they immediately selected Sen. John V. Kennedy as his running-mate. Neither of the nominations was un anamous, however. If prizes had been given out for most outstanding delegate, un doubtedly Lee Shaffer, Jr.,J infant son of Carolina's AU-American basketballcr, would have won hands down. A member of Puerto Rico's dele gation, young Shaffer cast his one half vote independently, favoring Senator Symington, instead of his daddy's choice, Adlai Stevenson. Incidentally, the elder Shaffer's seconding speech for the party standard-bearer was one of the convention's highlights. Stevenson, whose campus pressure group was headed by 'Bob Haskell and Randy Mack -was losing to Lyn don B. Johnson, his closest competi tor, early in the second ballot. However, when it became obvious that the race was between these two, supporters of other candidates began changing their votes before the roll could be called for a third ballot. Stevenson finally collected 1001 votes. Contributing factors in the former nimois Governor's win were an ex cellent, hard-working organization and the candidate, himself, accord ing the Bob Haskell. "I think nearly everybody realized, in the final analysis, that he was the best quali fied man for the nomination," he said. "Actually," he continued, "that's all it could be. We had no money and no promises we could make (you can't offer a Cabinet post" or anything like that at a .Mock Con vention). Stevenson has twice been the choice of the Democratic Party and, although he is , not officially in the running, many people feel he may be drafted this summer in Los How about the caucus quarter back, DBY, casting his delegation's votes for "the great atomic waste land of Nevada." This bit of praise (?) was equaled by the Canal Zone's vote for Governor Luther H.

The two other candidates in the running for the Democratic nomina tion, Stuart Symington and Hubert II.

However, both these big states were too late to- help Stevenson win the nomination. Thanks to changes from several smaller states, includ ing Tennessee, West Virginia, Ne vada and Missouri, he already had :he 761 votes needed to 'in. North Carolina nominated Gov. Luther II.

The question some others i They were backed up with iour are asking, however, is can he beat yolcs from lhe Canal Zone th Republican nominee? I think he can," said Haskell. "After all. he wouldn't be running against a fa ther image this time." Pennsylvania began the vote changing trend in the first ballot when they switched from a favor ite son to Stevenson. After that. Woollen Gym broke into near havoc as nine states changed votes on the first ballot rather than wait for the second. Finally, chairman Earl Wallace, of the poli'ical science department, refusing to recognize any more delegates, began the roll call for the second ballot. There was never much doubt, that Kennedy would win the vice-prcsi-dcntal nomination after it became ubvious that he was hardly in the ru.;.ing for President. However, several other candi dates, including Gov. Hodges, Harry S. Truman, Johnson and even Nel son Rockefeller, picked up a few votes. The Mock Convention adjourned aTtcr passing a motion by Jim Crownover to' invite both Stevenson and Kennedy to come to Chapel Hill to accept, the nomination in At this point, Stevenson had 3961 person. In the hubbub and confusion, a Saturday afternoon visitor went virtually unnoticed. Gubernatorial candidate Malcolm B. Seawell roamed about Convention Hall late Saturday afternoon, but delegates bent on demonstrating for their candidates were unaware of his presence. There were as many demonstra tions as candidates nominated and all had one thing in common a blue and white sign advocating Adison Hewlett for U.S. Senate carried by the UNC candidate for Mr. Democrat, Dewey B. Sheffield.

Humphrey and Stuart Symington combined. The New York delegation, rep resented by Cobb Dormitory, add ed a lot of color to the conven tion by: supporting DeSapio. Near ly all delegates were wearing trench coats and shades. Swag Grimsley had added a toy (we hope) machine gun to his attire with which he encouraged cheers for DeSapio: Infirmary List Those students frolicking in the infirmary yesterday included Mar tha Pierce, Mary Parks, James Mil ler, Arthur Miller, Robert Morrison, Kenneth Baucom, Robert Burnett, Eddie Powell, John Barefoot, Char les Vaughan, Cecile Farrell, Thom as Davis and Donald Hearn.
