UP Chairman Bill Criswell said that Putzel's designation was self-i styled and stated that Dick Bro deur was the head of the delega tion. Brodeur was not immediately available for comment. Putzel in his resignation state ment said that he took such ac tion because he could see "no de sire on the part of the University Party to represent dormitory men in the Student Government." Putzel further stated that the UP, while interested in gaining the dorm man's vote, demonstrated no real interest in supporting policies which would prove beneficial to the dormitories. Criswell said that his party "has Planetarium Delays Show Because of the UNC-Tennessee football game here Saturday, the Morehead Planetarium will delay its scheduled afternoon matinee of "Heroes of the Heavens" till 5 p.m. after the game, Director An thony F. Jenzano announced yes terday. The program depicting the heavens as "a source of inspira tion and a challenge to men of all times" will be given three times Saturday, at 11 a.m. and at 5 and 8:30 p.m. On Sunday it will be given at 3, 4 and 8:30 p.m., and the show will end with the eve ning performance on Monday. A new program titled "Meteors, Fireballs and Bolides" will open at the Planetarium on Tuesday evening, November 7, at 8:30 o'clock. It will run through No vember 27. Challenged would be "Resolved: A candidate whose interests lie in groups out side the dorm cannot devote their full energies to dorm improve ment." D. D. Eisenhower "ft It a sincere desire to gear itself to ward a majority of the students." However, Criswell pointed out, only a small number of dorm delegates attended the UP convention. He blamed the Student Party for the minority status of the men's dorms at the UP convention: "Last spring the SP labelled us the fra ternity party and perhaps it wasn't entirely false, either. "But," said Criswell, "now that we have a new administration, we don't feel we should be stuck with last year's labels. We want the opportunity to involve ourselves in the dormitories." The small num ber of dorm delegates at the con vention made a dorm candidate on the ticket difficult, he claimed. In closing, Criswell said, "I sin cerely want the dormitories to be represented in the University Party because I don't want the UP to represent only one-sixth of the campus."

The mass movement depends on $50,000 earmarked by the pending University bond issue for conver sion of Cobb to suitable women's quarters. More space for men will be available in the new Ehringhaus and Craige dormitories. University administrators are providing additional coed housing now in anticipation of an increasing proportion of women students. Charles Henderson, dean of stu dent affairs, predicts growth will be primarily in the health affairs programs introducing more fresh men and sophomore women into the university. Health affairs programs include pharmacy, medical technology, phy sical therapy and nursing. Critical Shortage Henderson noted the conversion will relieve a critical women's housing shortage.

Runners started in Murphy Tues Abolish Officers? The validity and purpose of class offices will be challenged tonight at 7 on WUNC when two opposing factions debate the issue. Senior Newt Smith and Sophomore Jeff Bayer will face off against the candidates for junior class presi dency, Joe Graver (UP) and Richard Vinroot (SP). The debate will center on Smith's charge that there is no provision for the election of junior class officers in the election laws. They will also meet Bayer's assertion that there is no real reason for the existence of class offices. Bayer is a candidate for the presidency of the Sophomore Class, but says he will resign if elected. Vinroot and Craver will attempt to defend the valid ity of electing Junior Class officers and the value of all class offices. Smith has formally protested the Election Board's ruling to ignore his first statement and proceed with the election. A W.-ivXs v. ?Cir.. f.-.

Republican Congressmen Paul Revere Panel Attacks JFK Plan A "Paul Revere" panel of three Republican congressmen yesterday attacked the Kennedy administra tion for centralization of power in the executive branch, excessive spending and a weak foreign pol icy. The members of the panel who spoke in the Law School court room were Representatives William C. Cramer. Fla., Samuel L. Devine. Ohio, and James E. firomwell, Iowa. This panel is one of five sponsored by the Repullican Na tional Committee which are touring the country in preparation for the 1962 congressional campaigns. Speaking of what he called "the greatest shift of power in the his tory of the United States" Brom well charged that in the past nine months the cabinet and the Na tional Security Council have been replaced by a group of presiden tial advisors. Advisors Bromwell, a first-termer, in the House, objected that "These ad visors don't have to be confirmed as do members of the cabinet." He added that they are not subject tc approval by the American public. Devine opposed further increas ing the national debt by giving for eign aid to uncommitted nations". "They are either with us o: against us. And if they are agains'. us we ought to cut off aid,"" sair Devine. Cramer cited federal aid to edu cation and teachers' salaries as twe instances where he feels thf fed eral government is taking away lo cal initiative. The panel adopted the name o Paul Revere "because these Re publican congressmen will carry ? warning to the American popl- that our system of government .is oriks Today Poet Makes Appearance Second Time e. e. cummings, called by some one of the major poets of this century, will read from his works tonight at 8 in Memorial Hall. This will be his second appear ance here. His first was in 1955 when he read before a packed house. The reading is sponsored by the English Club. cummings launched his literary career 37 years ago with the pub lication of "The Enormous Room," a description of his experiences in a concentration camp in France. Considered by some one of the greatest novels to come out of World War I, his fame has grown rapidly since that time. Famous For Lyricism His poetry, famous for its ex traordinary lyricism, playfulness, technical ingenuity, and compas sion, first appeared in 1923 with the publication of "Tulips and Chimneys." Other books of poetry include "Is 5," 1926; "Collected Poems," 1938; "50 Poems," 1940; "IXL," 1944; "Xaipe," 1950; and in 1954 his greatest collection "Poems 1923-1954." He has been described as "the terror of typesetters, an enigma to book reviewers and the special target of all the world's literary Philistines," because of his some times hieroglyphic form of verse. Difficult To Read A UNC English professor says his poetry, which lacks punctua tion and is sometimes difficult to read, is more easily understood when he reads it. He is very strict about pub licity, shunning it whenever pos sible. He allows no photographs to be taken if he can help it and gives no autographs. imperiled by the present admini stration."
