Seventy Tears Of Editorial Freedom Offices In Graham Memorial CHAPEL HILL, NORTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, MARCH 29, 1963 UPI Wire Servic 1 Two Q uit To End Student Government By CHUCK NEELY Two Di-Phi representatives, in cluding former President Arthur Hays, resigned Tuesday night in protest of the Society's passing a resolution advocating the abolition of student government for the sec ond time. President Nat Dean re fused to accept the resignations at that time. Secretary Candidates , Giy e Views And Request Votes SARAH BROADHUR5T UP Secretary "The secretary of the student! body is -ultimately responsible for all correspondence, filing, and rec ord' keeping in Student Govern ment," Sarah Broadhurst UP can didate for Secretary . said yester day. The other officers of the stu dent government can make policy, directives, and correspond for the student body ' to every area connected with this University. However, - the responsibility that any policy, directive, or corres pondence be communicated xe- volves around the. secretary and the secretariat. To be qualified to do this job re quires that the secretary be an able typist, a hard worker, and an organizer. It is necessary that the voters know how I am qualified to be secretary in these three areas: The immense amount of corre spondence requires a large amount of typing; I can type. This may seem like a minute point, but it is important to consider the skill of a person seeking the job of secretary of the student body. In order to increase the efficien cy of the secretariat, there are three basic -systems which I would put into effect: 1) I will assign a secretary to each of the student body officers. There is a lot of paper work con cerned with each of these offices and this plan would allow them to have more time to attend to many of the more important things con cerning student government. In order to expedite interviews for appointments at the beginning of each year, I will establish an ap-iDointment-secretary to handle scheduling. 2) To increase the efficiency of distributing materials of the stu dent government offices, I would put all supplies under the control of the secretary. This would allow for a system of giving out sup- (Continued on page 3) Treasurer Hopefuls State Money Handling Capability GERALD THORNTON UP Treasurer "The total anticipated income for student government next year is $165,415.92. This money belongs to you, the student body. It is your investment in student government, and you must decide who will be in charge of it." This was the state ment Gerald Thornton, the UP candidate for treasurer, made yes terday. He went on to say that he just could not make himself believe that! anything such as policy should be the treasurer's primary concern J "After all, what do you elect a treasurer for?" His job should be to take care of money, and Thorn ton said, 'The most important thing to me" will be $165,415.92! This is what you, the owners of this money, expect; and, you have a right to know where your money is. how it is being spent, and how it could be spent." Thornton does not propose for the iieasurer to spend his time working on campus projects; how. ever, he does propose to keep a close controlled check on all stu dent government spending. He also wants the student body to help him, do this. By publishing position statements all during the year, each student will be able to see exactly what student government is doing with his money. Then the student can sound off when he disapproves and give support when he approves. Being an accounting major, Thornton envisions student govern ment as the big business which it certainly is, with you, the stu dent body, as stockholders. He feels that the main job of the treasurer is to represent your in terest, and all his ideas point in this direction. He believes that policy is import ant It is an integral part of his plans, but Thornton's policy is con- cerned with only - those .things! which give the individual students the financial information - about student government hich they riktly deserve: ) Di-Plii After Vote The debate over the SG . resolu tion far overshadowed considera tion of the main resolution of the evening "a resolution to discon tinue nuclear weapons testing." This resolution passed the. Society, by a vote of 8-4, and guests, by a vote of 16-7. Two votes were cast in protest of the resolution because it was felt that it "was too vague. BONNIE HOYLE SP Secretary "As a new student at Carolina this fall, 'one of the things which impressed me most was the em phasis placed on student govern ment," Bonie Hoyle, SP candi date for secretary, reported yes terday. "I have worked in student government this year as a mem ber of the Elections Board and as secretary of the junior class, and I was not disappointed. I do feei that student government is an im portant part of Carolina life, and I would like very much to serve as its Secretary. "While it is true that the secre tary's main responsibility is or ganizing and directing the work of the secretariat, her job should entail much more than clerical work. 1 feel that the student gov. ernment secretary is the most im portant representative of the wom en students. Through her their ideas and desires may be express ed to the executive and legislative branches of student government and to the University Administra tion.- I would make a sincere ef fort to communicate with the wom en students and make their ideas known. I would like to draw more women into student government work, and the secretary is surely in a " position to ; encourage such participation. . I feel that the secretariat could be better organized. ! would like to assign one girl, or two if needed, to work with each of the student government officers and committees. I feel this would elim inate confusion and enhance effic iency. Secondly, I would like to reor- ganize and bring up to date the student government files. These files are most helpful to a new administration and are useful throughout the year to the various committee chairmen. If these files are set in good order tney can vc a (Continued on Page 3) DICK AKERS SP Treasurer "During this campaign, I have stressed and shall continue to stress what to me is an important point: the Treasurer of the Student Body must be more than simply a book keeoer." Dick Akers. SP candid ate for treasurer, said yesterday, The paying of bills, the drawing up of the budget, and the balanc ing of accounts are important ana imperative for the job. Having taken courses in accounting and economics I feel qualified to per form these functions, but of prim ary importance is the making of sound policy and the exercise oi fiscal responsibility. There are numerous examples which illus trate the fact that these two facets have not been considered in the recent past. Two years ago Carrier Current was begun, by a Student Party legislature. Briefly described, Car rier Current consisted of the play ing of good music into the dorms on a closed circuit no commer cials, campus news three times a day. During the present UP ad ministration Carrier Current was allowed to collapse because of a breakdown in some of the transmit ters. With a bit of investigation, I have discovered that for $1226, Carrier Current could be instituted in every dormitory, sorority, fra ternity, and apartment in Chapel Hill, as well as in Victory Village and Glen Lennox. With the pres ent $40,000 general surplus and $10,000 unappropriated balance in Student Government, I feel that we can well afford to get Carrier Cur rent going again in the way in which it was originally intended. Another failure on. the part of the present treasurer to exercise fiscal responsibility is that of a misuse of existing funds for the repair of dormitory TV sets and for the improvement of dormitory social rooms. There has been appropriated $1300 and 2000, re- (Ccati&ued en Pae 3) A motion was introduced to recon sider last week's resolution con cerning SG. It was voted to re consider the resolution, and, after a heated debate, the resolution again was passed by the Society, by a vote of 7-6, with Dean casting the deciding vote. It was maintained that by abolish ing student government, the Di-Phi was defeating itself and all the other student organizations. Rep. Hays stated that he could not be part of an organization which had voted against all that he had worked for on this campus and all that he had ever believed in. He said that though he regretted his action, he felt compelled to resign. What Is SG? One of the main points of con-: tention related to the question as to what student government is. One view was that student government consists of all the activities in which students are engaged. Sup porters of the resolution however, felt that student government con sists only of the three formal branches, executive, judicial, and legislative, and not the whole broad spectrum of student affairs Pleas were made by individual members for unity on the part of all members. It was argued that no issue could be so important as to occasion the resignation of two Society members. Rep. Hays main tained his position and re-iterated his view that the Society had "sounded its own death knell" in repassing the resolution to abolish Student Government. Re-Establish Old Societies Rep. Bullard suggested that the dissident members might wish to re-establish the original two So cieties, the Dialectic Senate and the Philanthropic Assembly, and dissolve the Di-Phi. The proposal was rejected at the time because although it was generally felt to be a worthwhile goal to strive for, the Society, for all of its recent advances,, was -x still not , strong; enough to split once again. " Before finally adjourning at 1:30 a.m., Kep. Les Bailey introduced a resolution reprimanding the Uni versity Party for stating in its platform that the Di-Phi should be made into an upper house of the student legislature. Rep. Bail ey pointed out that the Di-Phi "is an independent student organiza tion, automomous and completely separate from student politics." The resolution was accepted by acclamation. Senior Candidates Propose New Ideas RICHARD BARRETT, UP , Vice President It is my desire to talk to each junior to find out what you want our Senior class to be next year. Even though I have had previous experience with the student legis lature, Judicial council, the class vice presidency, and various stu dent committees, I am not run ning on past experience but with a purpose for our Senior class. I would like to see a new mean ing put into the words "Vice Pres ident" a significant meaning. Many students feel that the role of vice president is that of a mere figurehead. If elected to this office, 1 hope to extinguish this feeling and through hard work establish a functiooable office. It is my feel ing that the president should not be burdened with all the major duties of the Senior class without the support of his slate and his fellow classmates. With an honest conscience, really can't promise a flowery, idealistic platform, but I can prom ise several down-to-earth projects which would be specifically the job of the vice president. Besides social functions pertaining to the ENTIRE class, I would like to de velop a project that will be of lasting value to each member of our class. It is my idea to create a dynam ic senior class magazine that would include every phase of our career as students at this university. This magazine would cover not only the major sporting, political, and social events of the past three years and future but would also emphasize many facets which have not been given adequate recog nition in the past. These facets in clude the members of our" class who have served well in dormitory organizations, on the class cab inets, on class committees, jn min er sports, and those who have not received open credit for scholastic achievement. Just a few examples would be 'members of our class who have served as IDC representa tives, those who have worked on (Continued on page 3) POSTER PULLING The chairmen of the two cam pus political parties yesterday urged students not to deface or to tear down campaign posters. "Regardless of personal feel ing this is deplorable conduct. Candidates go to considerable ex pense, to say nothing of time and trouble, to see that these posters are printed and display ed. They are making a sincere attempt to reach their constit uents, and they deserve to have their material respected," Phil Baddour (SP) and Mike Chan in (UP) said yesterday.

WOODY HARRISON, SP, Vice President My name is Woody Harrison and I am running for Vice President of the Senior Class. I am very in terested in serving the class in this capacity and I will do a good: job if I am elected. As treasurer of our class in the sophomore year, I never missed a cabinet meeting and I was active in pre senting ideas aid participating in projects. During that year I pre sented two financial statements in the Tar Heel so that all members of the class would know why we were $98 in the hole at the be ginning and $43 to the good at the end of the year. This past year, as Vice President of the Junior Class, I have served as an overall committee chairman trying to keep all the committees f unc tioning and mainly as the advisor to the Scholarship Committee, which has met an average of once every two weeks. On the commit tee we conducted a poll, contacting as many Juniors as possible, and from this poll we have given three Teacher of the Month awards and plan to give three more. WTe are now sponsoring an essay contest which, as yet, has had little re sponse even tnougn there is a monetary prize. Our major accom plishment is the beginning of the Junior class College Bowl. It has been a great success, especially with the participants. AVe now have more teams entered than there are Sundays left. This may seem more like a re port than a campaign, but I want you to know that the job of ,Vice- Prefident is not a figurehead and tnat I have the experience, imtia tive, and interest to do a good job If you elect me, I am not going to rest on what I have done, but work hard for the present. I -.would like to see v better com munication' among 5 the members of the class and better participa tion in class sponsored activities and I will strive for this .whole heartedly if you elect me Vice President cf the" Senior ' Class.

A spontaneous demonstration for Griselda, the all-campus pig who is running for secretary of the student body, broke out in the Upper Quad Wednesday night about 12 p.m. The rally gathered strength until two or three hundred students were present, all chanting "Grisel da! Griselda!" According to Tony Mason, Griselda's campaign mana ger, this is how it happened: "We had just finished making a campaign speech in Stacy. I could n't take- Griselda to the Nurses Dorm where we were scheduled to go next because she was too tired to walk none of the other candid ates would give her a ride. "Well.

J Jim Wallace The Dismay Of is Road Players Will Occupy Single Wing By MICKEY BLACK WELL Varsity and freshman football players will be housed in Ehring haus dormitory on a strictly experi mental basis next fall, and the football squad training table as such will be abandoned according to head football Coach Jim Hickey and Dean of Men William Long. "The main reason we are going to try this," Hickey said, "is to help save time and then too, we can have the boys together during football season. As it stands now, the boys have to sleep in the field house during football season, and sometimes there's as many as 12 boys in one room. It will be a lot easier on everyone if there are just two boys in each room." Hickey said he wanted to have his team together during football season so he wouldn't have to hunt all over campus if he should have to call a spur of the moment meet ing. "If we want to have a meeting, the boys are right there together, and we can save a heck of a lot of time by just meeting there in the dorm," he said. He said he planned to place his quarterbacks and centers in a cer tain suite and so on. "Then, when I want to meet with them, we can do it right there and not bother anyone else." Hickey said he plans to house the ."traveling team, composed of about 40 boysr close together. But the rest of the team will be placed throughout the dorm. "We are not going to have a training table as .s-uch next year," Hickey said. "All the boys will eat breakfast in the Ehringhaus, or if they have late classes, at Lenoir Hall. Hickey said that the evening meal would be the only time that the team would be separated. "We plan to convert a storage room in Ehringhaus to a room where the 40 members of the traveling squad can eat together at night. The rest of the varsity and the fresh men will eat in the regular dining room at Ehringhaus or Lenoir . . . The boys next year are going to have as much freedom as they ever had . . . and I think we're going to have the best situation we've had. Some people think we are try ing to isolate the football team rom the rest of the campus and not let them meet other people. What they don't realize is that many of the players seldom see each other and I think they should really get to know each other, es pecially during the football sea son," he said. Dean of men William Long said that putting the players in a dorm together "will develop a sort of sprit that they very seldom get in any other way." The plan will be in operation for the fall-semester-football season (Continued on Page 4) The Police I: i
