GOP BLOCKS GOLDWATER PROPOSAL WASHINGTON Leaders of the Republican party organ ization Friday rejected Sen. Barry Goldwater's proposal that the GOP stop trying to woo Negro and other minority voter blocs. This attitude was voiced by party spokesmen as a special GOP committee met in closed session to search for ways to cut Democratic majorities in big cities. Goldwater's suggestion was challenged directly by GOP State Chairman L. Judson Morhouse in a memorandum he presented as a member of the committee.

Sources here at the seat of the rebel government in exile and in Paris said the talks will be held in a week to 10 days, probably at the edge of Lake Geneva on the Swiss French border. . In Algiers, French officials ordered army reinforcements into the Algerian capital and into the port city of Oran to forestall possible violence by rightist French settlers opposed to any negotiations with the Moslem rebels. Circulars from a "union of resistance" urged white Al gerians to "get arms and ammunition ready." JUDGE BLASTS VOTING DISCRIMINATION MONTGOMERY, Ala.

Some reports said 20 men T7cre put to death. Veep Candidates k tAt Patterson Desires District Changes Student Party's Vice-Presidential candidate, Hank Patter son, yesterday discussed the possibilities of legislative redis ricting and having two campus-wide elections per year. In his DTH statement Patterson stated that - having bi yearly elections would give women and freshmen men a better chance to serve in Legislature. Patterson also pointed out the importance of haying legis lators "aware of constituent opinion." His statements follows: I would like to mention a number of innovations concern ing Student Legislature which I would support as Vice-President of the Student Body. A re-definition of Legislative dis tricts has been needed for several years, especially in the town areas. , This re-districting must be done, while at the same time insuring that the interests of Victory Village residents and independent town students continue to be represented, in the Legislature. Included in the redistricting should be a separate district created for Victory Village. This would be done in the hope of fostering Village unity and responsibility. There is also merit in creating a separate district for the .Nurse's dormitory. . I would advocate return to two elections per year, for Stu dent Legislature, as existed several years ago. This would provide junior girls and freshman men with an opportunity to assume positions of responsibility, which would aid in building future leadership for Student Govern ment. Bi-yearly elections would insure greater competition for scats and would help avert a Legislature dominated by political appointees of party chairman. -' - - I feel that more legislative committees should be estab lished to provide for a closer perusal of legislation. Student Legislators should be urged to keep in close con tact with their constituents, and campus political parties should - take on greater responsibility in insuring that this be done. : It is important that legislators be aware of constituent opinion and it is even more vital that students be informed of the work of Student Government through their legislators in dorm meetings, dormitory newspapers, or periodic visits. . ,-7 Nikita Khrushchvv Micks Declared Ineligible George Ricks, doubly-en dorsed and unopposed candidate for head cheerleader next year, has been declared ineligible to run for the position in the forth coming spring elections, accord ing to the Elections Board. Leon Barber, member of the board, announced yesterday that Ricks would be unable to remain a candidate because of an academic deficiency. All can didates for elective positions in the student body must have a "C" average. According to Barber, Ricks" name will be removed from all ballots to be used in Tuesday's elections. Ricks' ineligibility means that officially ; there is no candidate for head cheer leader and that the only way by which one can be elected is by a write-in vote. If there is no write-in vote, said Barber, the only remaining alternative for the appointment of someone to the position is a consensus among the rest of next year's cheerleaders for a leader. These cheerleaders will be se lected in auditions this spring. Valkyrie Sing Each organization taking part in the Valkyrie Sing must turn in a copy of its. script to Helen McCallum. 208 Carr Dormitory by 2 o'clock today. Secretarial Hopefuls Discuss Job tAt rfr MARY TOWNSEND Student Party candidate for Secretary of the student body Mary Townsend discussed the relationship between students and Student Government and student-faculty "relations in a DTH release yesterday. Her statement reads: The Student Party candidates pledge an Executive Committee in the Student Government, one function of this committee be ing to bring to all of our fellow students a clearer view of the policies and actions of our Stu dent Government committees. This committee would also re lay ideas and criticisms of the students back to the Student Government administrators. We feel that this can be done bet ter by having on it representa tives from the different seg ments of the campus. As secretary I will attend girl's dorm meetings to explain State Their Views it k & s Harrington States Mis Qualifications Tony Harrington, UP's Vice-Presidential candidate, dis cussed his "experience and general intentions" in yesterday's DTH release. His full statement follows: ... In my final campaign statement in the Daily Tar Heel, I would like to submit my experience and general intentions in seeking the office of Vice-President of the Student Body. During the past few weeks I have sought to have personal discussions with all possible students. I further invite anyone with whom I either have had previous personal contact or have not yet had the privilege of meeting to stop me on campus and ask any questions before or after the election on Tuesday. Talking with candidates is the only valid way to get to know them. I and each of my fellow candidates strongly desire to serve in the capacities of the offices which we seek. We each rely on experience as the foundation of our interest in student govern ment. , . . . The office of Vice-President involves somewhat of a dual role first, as Speaker of the Student Legislature and, second, as assistant to the President in his duties. My work as a repre sentative in the Student Legislature and as Sergcant-at-Arms and a member of the Finance Committee of the body has given me an insight into the functioning of the Legislature, which is necessary for one to preside well and properly co ordinate legislative activities. Beyond my experience in Legislature I have profited greatly from my work in the two other areas of student -government executive and judicial. In the executive branch I have served as a member of the President's Cabinet and also on the Budget Committee, which handles 'approximately $146,000 of student money. Being Assistant Attorney General has afforded a clear knowledge of the structure . and work "of our student judiciary. These areas of work, and others, have furnished vital experience and pointed up needs, for improve ment. I pledge to utilize my knowledge. to the fullest in serving the interests of each student at Carolina: I will work both to lead student body activities and to represent our students in a dignified, open-minded, and dynamic manner, at all times.

I would also appoint one girl in each of the women's dorms, perhaps a representative of the Secretariat, to be well enough informed on Student -Govern ment activities to answer any questions which may be - asked of her concerning Student Gov ernment. These are some of my ideas for improving the com munication, and thereby the re lationship between the students and Student Government ad ministrators. The student-faculty relations on our campus are good in many respects, but there is much room for improvement. . Students at UNC are thought to be ma ture and capable. T ax LYNDA RICHERT University Party's, candidate for . secretary of the student body, Lynda Richert, discussed the dual responsibility of the of fice and various women- stu dents' problems in - a DTH re lease yesterday. . Her full statement follows: "The dual responsibility of secretary, as has been stated, is to manage the clerical obliga tions of student government and to represent expressly the feelings of women students to the other executive officers. "Her responsibilities do not end here, however,- for she must be thoroughly informed of all Student Government activities and in turn must keep her fel low students informed. "However, the most efficient, representative, and informed secretary needs a close tie to the other executive officers of Student Government. The real potential of the secretarial posi tion is realized only when there is continuity of spirit and pur pose between all officers. "Having worked closely with Bob Sevier, Tony Harrington, and Pete Thompson in the past several weeks, I am aware that such unity exists. As the only woman candidate on the Uni versity Party ticket of student body officers, I naturally have been concerned with the women students' problems and desires and have in turn tried to inter pret these to the other Univer sity Party candidates. 4 Fraternities Pick Officers For Semester Four fraternities, Alpha Chi Sigma, Alpha Tau Omega, Phi Gamma Delta, and Tau Epsilon Phi, have elected new slates of officers.

Instead, he asked for a raise from the present $440 to $650 plus a $250 travel fund. The request was placed as an amendment by Davis Young,! who had proposed the salary in crease, and passed by the body. The action was taken as Legis lature considered the proposed student government budget for 1961-62 for the second straight week. The $146,200 budget will prob ably be passed in final form next week at legislature's last meeting of the current assembly. Additions and deletions have been made in most of the re quests and recommendations submitted by campus groups, the budget commilttee, the fi nance committee and by mem bers of the body from the floor. Thirty-two of the 40 major organizations asking funds from student government had their requests granted in Thursday's session as legislators passed ar ticles ad ceriatum. The other eight requests will be considered and the budget voted on as a whole bill in next week's meeting. The major addition to the proposed budget was the $570 in salary increases for the Tar Heel passed by amendment from the floor. The largest deletion was taken at last Thursday's meet ing when $1,648 was taken from the International ' Students' Board's requests. Thompson Prefev UP's Candidates Doubly - endorsed Treasurer candidate Pete Thompson yes terday said that he "would like to serve" with the University Party candidates for President, Vice-President, and Secretary. His full statement follows: In my statement to the DTH last week, I mentioned the fact that the Treasurer through the Budget Committee should in stitute a system of controls in all organizations receiving stu dent government funds. Through this system, I feel that excess spending could be alleviated and more money saved for cam pus improvements. I also believe that there should be a closer communica tion between the Treasurer and the students. There are always problems facing different areas of the campus which may re quire financial assistance. I feel it my responsibility to the stu dents to discuss these particu lar problems, seeking solutions which would require financial aid through student government funds. Being a doubly-endorsed can didate for this office, I would like to mention those candidates with whom I would wish to serve. I feel that Bob Sevier is the most capable and most qualified person running for president of the student body. Not only has Bob been one of the more outstanding Speakers of Student Legislature, but through his work on the presi dent's cabinet for the past two years he is fully aware of the problems facing our campus. I feci that he has the ability to be one of the most outstanding student body presidents we have ever had. Tony Harrington has been a very outstanding representative in our student legislature. Hav ing been closely associated with Tony this year, I know him to be one of the most hard-working individuals in Student Gov ernment. Tony has had exper ience in all three branches of Student Government, serving on the president's cabinet, legisla ture, and the attorney general's staff. He would make the best vice-president. I would also give my support 0 m n ov m The money was to have fi nanced a French Exchange Scholarship program, similar to the current Goettingen Ex change program. The French program did not come through as expected and will not be in stituted this year, the body was told. The Yackety Yack's requested appropriation of $31,869 was passed over an objection raised by Representative Young who asked, deferment of action until the unopposed co-candidates running for Yack editorship ap pear before the legislature, and explain the requests in detail. Young's request was defeated 11-9 by the body after a tie vote had been made. . Also appearing before the legislature Thursday night were Tim Burnett, business manager of the Tar Heel, and Dick Rick art, editor of the Carolina Quar terly. Burnett explained the work ings of the business staff of the paper and asked for salary in creases. Rickart presented requests for his publication. Afterwards, an amendment passed that boosted the proposed fund in payment to contributors, to the magazine from the $75 recom mended by the finance commit tee to $120. to Lynda Richert, candidate for Secretary of the Student Gov ernment. Lynda is fully aware of the responsibilities of this of fice, having worked on the sec retariat this year. She has also been actively working on the Elections Board and the Cam pus Chest all giving her valu able experience in student gov ernment. These are the candidates I would desire to serve with in next year's Student Govern ment. I feel that together we will be able to give the campus through student government a more active and conscientious program. Andy Griffith Stars In Free Flick Tonight "No Time For Sergeants," the hilarious comedy adapted from the novel by Mac Hyman and the play by Ira Levin, will be tonight's Free Flick presenta tion. This is the story of a bliss fully naive Georgia hillbilly, played by Carolina's own Andy Griffith, who is drafted into the Air Force. His love for human ity and simple-minded desire to be helpful make a shambles of the military organization.
