1 1 , 'TT Ho CDonH CdU, Science See Edits, Page Two Offices in Graham Memorial Validity 6 Are You Real?' Newt Smith Asked BY LOUISE CASAGIUN Contesting the validity of the election of class officers, and the worth of their jobs, Senior Newt Smith and Sopho more presidential candidate Jeff Bayer faced a panel of presi dential candidates in a rip-roaring roundtable discussion on WUNC's Carrier Current Thursday night. "It's just a way of getting a picture in the Yack" and planning "happy little picnics" stated Jeff Bayer, who said he feels with no money and no function class officers are useless. If elected Bayer would not only refuse to have his picture in the annual, but would publicly announce that he would call no meetings of his committee. This "break in tradition" would be a "dramatization of the point." In his campaigning the candidate has found that "most Dr. George Clarifies His Story Dr. Wesley C. George, retired UNC anatomy professor, has de nied his study for Alabama is de signed to prove the Negro is in ferior to the white man. "You start out to find what the evidence leads you to," he said. . Admitting that he is making a study for the state, he said of ficials have "never talked of prov ing anything. "We talked in terms of what science has to contribute to this problem. . If science has anything to bear, we'll bring it out." Roy Wilkins, NAACP executive secretary, said yesterday in New York, "Is Gov. John Patterson confessing, through the initiation of this study, that for alK these decades the segregation policy of the state of Alabama has been based upon guesswork?" Patterson has made $3,000 avail able for the study. Prof. George, the author of sev eral booklets on race and its im plications, has spent more than 20 years studying the differences be tween races. "We have here in ihis country a racial problem . . . one of the most fundamental issues that con fronts the American people," George said. "If we are going to arrive at a proper judgment in understanding the fundamental nature we are dealing with, we are going to have to discover what the fundamental nature is." FINGER-PAINTING A finger-painting festival exhibit and sale will be held in the garden of Ruth Faison Shaw, Estes Drive, today and Sunday from 12-5 p.m. The exhibit will include "paint ings by world-famous personalities including Gertrude Lawrence." Coffee will be served. The Shaw house on Estes Drive is described as "the first on the right." Tennessee Alumnus Sen. E H ere To See Game U.S. Sen. Estes Kefauver of Tennessee will be in Chapel Hill today to watch the game in Kenan stadium between the Volunteers and the Tar Heels. The senator and his family arrived last night by plane and will eat lunch with President William Friday today. According to the senator, ; the main reason for his visit is to see his daughter, Linda, who is a student here. Linda is a junior Art History major and lives in Alderman dormitory. She and her Of for a change." However, "this is just a means to an end we won't abolish class officers for good. Countering his accusations, the panel asked Bayer if he weren't merely employing a political gimmick to insure his election. "Shouldn't we use a positive ap proach if we want to get more money," Joe Craver, UP candi date for President of the Jun ior class, questioned. "Even if we don't have the money, the functions of the offi cers are not entirely useless," re marked Bob Spearman, UP candi date for Freshman president. "What about the support for the bond issue?" In reply to SP Junior - class presidential candidate Pete Haw kins' statement that chances of getting money from the legislature are poor, Bayor contended the dramatization of its need might counteract this. Continuing in this spirited vein the second half of the program was devoted to a discussion of the validity of Junior class officers. These officers were not provided for in the Elections Laws and the Election Board was challenged on this point by Newt Smith. Smith stated, "I'm going be fore the Student Council tonight to see what they can do aboyC it. I think they're a little wor ried." "Are you real?" Richard Vin root, SP Junior class president, questioned. "Why make a big to-do about a little typographical error?" Pointing out that as a transfer from Georgia Tech perhaps Smith "did not fully appreciate Caro lina," Joe Craver remarked. "Nothing makes me feel better than to go to a basketball game when they come out dribbling that little blue and white ball." "I am graduating in January and do not need publicity," stat ed Smith, when asked why he was bringing up the issue. "Since the university is run on the basis of a Student Council, class of ficers are completely obsolete." The debate concluded wit hno resolution. Moderated by Rohn Randell, Student Legislature parliamen tarian, the panel also included Brooks Henry, UP candidate fo president of the sophomore class., and George Rosenthal, SP candi date for president of the sopho more class. ECefauver date, Ray Francis, will accompany her father and family to the game, and they will be sitting on the visitors' side. Senator Kefauver, an alumnus of the University of Tennessee, was a member of the Kappa Sigma Fraternity. After the game the senator and his family will visit the Kappa Sigma chapter here in the little fraternity court. Senator Kefauver has been in the U.S. Senate since 1948, and was the Democratic nominee for vice- president is 1253.

The programs to be held at 12 Co n ittle In DTH Commentary ' Student Council's decision to de clare the Election Law B W-29-14, invalid, has thrown the campus, especially the candidates in the coming election, into a terrible confusion. The decision by the Council ac tually has changed very little. It means that the election will be conducted according to the previous election law, BW-25-30, and the subsequent amendments to that law, or Constitutional amendments which supercede it. The most important change oc curs in the date of the election. The invalid Election Law stated that the election would occur the first Tuesday of November. The older law which declares the date of the election as the second Tues day in November now holds. This, of course, will affect the candidates' campaign plans, and Campus Briefs TODAY The International Students Board will meet at 12:10 p.m. up stairs in Lenoir Hall for an in formal luncheon.

MONDAY The .Publications Board will meet at 3:30 p.m. in Woodhouse Room, GM. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1961 it ciFs Decision Change El those who have spent their al loted amount will suffer. The ex tension of time may swing ' the election to the SP side, who will have more time to set up dorm - support, but this advantage will be lost in other differences in election procedure. The old election law differs in the allotment of campaign expen ditures to parties, stating that the parties may spend up to $100 in the campaign and $20 in the run-offs. This will probably aid the UP in their chances of swinging the elec tion. Their treasury boasts a sur plus whereas the SP's cannot af ford much more than the expected $40 of the invalidated election law. There is also a change in the qualifications required of the can didates. The candidates are re quired to have earned at least 25 hours in the two semesters preced ing the election, in addition to the C average. It is not known whether this will affect any of the candi TV Show Honors John M. Morehead Governor Terry Sanford and Chancellor William Aycock were among the participants featured over WUNC-TV last night in cele bration of John Motley Morehead Day at Carolina. Student Body President Bill Harriss was master of ceremonies of the program which included Scott Summers and Dennis Rash, both Morehead Scholars. Gov. Sanford, appearing on tape, called attention to the "in valuable" enhancement of Caro lina's eductional program by Mr. Morehead's contributions, espe cially the Morehead Scholarship Program. Chancellor Aycock, referring to the Morehead Scholarship Pro gram, noted "he created this for- 'Executive Suite 9 Tonight 9s Movie Tonight's - free flick, "Executive Suite" boasts an all-star cast which includes William Holden, June Allyson Barbara Stanwyck, Fredric March, Walter Tidgeon, Shelly Winters, Paul .

He also announced that the poll-tenders would have to at tend a meeting to be announced at a later date. "Anyone who wishes a copy of the old election law, BW-25-30, should come by the Student Government office," said Buxton. In the actual procedures of the election there are some minor changes. There will be a change in the polling places, but Buxton has not commented how this will be done. In an administrative decision, Buxton said: "Because there are no clear geographic areas for the mula his resources plus young menof promise plus the Univer sity of N.C. and then proceeded to mix these ingredients to produce an effective solution for providing the leadership he visualized."

The only other change this in validation procedure will cause will be the effect the controversy has aroused in the student body opinion. Probably, the fact that the invalid law was proposed, passed and signed by members of the UP will cause some beneficial effect on the SP's chances. How ever, the SP will be hurt because of the economic advantage granted the UP in the old election law. In effect the disruption caused by the invalidation of the General Elections Law will be negligible. The campaign will last longer and the issues will be re-hashed. How ever, both parties stand to gain. Reverting to the old elections law will probably insure a close cam paign, giving no appreciable ad vantage to either Party.

INVALID it Election Is Slated For November 14 The Student Council declared the General Election Law invalid late Thursday night on the grounds that the law never legally passed the Student Legislature. This decision brings into effect the previous election law; therefore, moving the election of class officers from this Tuesday to Tuesday, Nov. 14. The Council, acting on an appeal by Senior Newt Smith, ruled that "there is no evidence which can in any way veri fy its passage as a law under Robert's Rules of Order or any special provisions." Smith presented the minutes of the Student Legislature as evidence of his contention that the final copy of the elections law had never been voted upon. Defending the validity of the law, John Randall, parlia mentarian of the legislature, presented a statement from Bob Sevier. Sevier, vice-president and presiding officer of the legis lature when the law was brou.ght up, said the law had been passed. Smith, however, presented testi mony from two legislators also present who said they 'had no recollection of its passage. He also quoted from the minutes. According to the minutes of the legislature, the General Elections Law was brought before the legis lature for final consideration on October 6, 1960. It passed by a vote of 17 to 2 after the addition of several amendments. Smith claimed that a quorum (26 members) was not present at that vote, but Randall explained that the law was still valid since no one challenged its validity at that time. On October 13, the bill was brought up for reconsideration by Rep. Oppenheimer. The reconsid eration was granted and several amendments voted int othe bill. A bill was then introduced concern ing funds for the Toronto ex change, and the legislature con tinued business without voting on the final version of the elections bill. Smith claimed that once the bill was accepted for reconsideration, it was no longer considered passed and must be passed again to be come law. The Council upheld this interpretation. Earlier in the Student Council session, Smith had argued that the now invalid general Elec tions Law did not contain any provision for the election of Jun ior class officers. The Council did not rule on this contention since the later ruling invalidated the whole law. Council Chairman Tom Cannon said that Smith's appeal on the Junior class officers case did not Infirmary Students in the Infirmary yes terday included Nancy Wason, Sandra Stawhum, Vicky King, Sue Matuszak, Dorene Acker, Fran Rhyne, Dave Williams, William Caperton, Doug Reed, Mercer Blankenship, Charlie Mattes, Eu gene Howden, Walter Shuford, Horace McKee, Claude Pryor, Neil Pharr, Mike Harper, Paul Wil liams, Dewey Collins, and Robert Lankford. From 18 Countries 64 Allied Officers Touring Campus Sixty-four allied officers from 13 counries will tour the UNC cam pus today. During their stay, the officers will view a program in the Morehead Planetarium, tour the Institute of Government and attend the UNC-Tennessee game. The officers, many of them from southeast Asia, have been attend ing special classes at Ft. Bragg on unconventional warfare . and counter-insurgency operations since early October. Dean of the Faculty James L. Godfrey, who will meet the group, said it was "good to see friends from abroad when they can visit Weatlver Continued warm and partly cloudy. High in the mid 703. Complete UPI Wire Servici it it enter into the council's decision on the law as a whole. Randall also argued against Smith on the Junior class officers issue. The parliamentarian said that the law originally passed by the legislature contained provision for the Junior elections and that their omission in the version signed by Vice-President Bob Sevier and President David Grigg was only a typographic mistake. - Marathon Ends In Raleigh The "Torch for Education" marathon ended yesterday morn ing at 11:55 in downtown Raleigh before the Charles B. Aycock Memorial in Capitol Square. A student from North Carolina College and one from N.C. State ran the final mile ending the 700 mile marathon which began at the mountains and the sea. Several hundred students from 12 state-supported schools par ticipated in the marathon which was designed to gain support for the upcoming $51.7 miL'ioa statewide bond issue referendum on November 7. The issue car ries a large portion designated for capital improvements for the state-supported colleges. Two teams, starting from Wil mington on the sea, and Murphy in the mountains, carried the kerosene-filled torch the 700 miles in about 70 hours. Meeting the students at the Ay cock Memorial, Gov. Terry San ford told . the crowd gathered there, "I want to thank all of these student representatives who have participated in carrying to the people of North Carolina this message of the importance of new expansion of institutions of higher education. "We have an opportunity to move forward," Sanford said, "if we are going to lead the na tion in education we have to be prepared." Sanford said he felt the bond is sue would be approved at the polls. , us. We hope their stay in this country has been good and that their visit to UNC will be a happy one." During their tour, the officers will be guided by seven to tea UNC students, some of whom speak Spanish, French and possibly Vietnamese. Nations represented by the offi cers are Canada, Germany, Italy, Korea, Nicaragua, Norway, Repub lic of China, Thailand, Vietnam. Argentina, Australia, Bolivia, In dia, Great Britain, Indonesia, Leba- Ec.n, Pakistan and the Philippines.
