The Good Time Singers will appear with Miller. Miller, who will have a tele vision show next fall, is known for such hits :as "England Swings," "King of the Road," "Chug-A-Lug" and "Dang Me." He nas oeen Jeferred to as "the missing Knk between country-comedy -and pop mu sic." He plays drums, fiddle and guitar. Miller figures he has com posed some 1,000 tunes, "about half rf which have been pub- JolIy5 UPj and A'rt Robinson, UP. Leaders from both political parties are optimistic about the results of the presidentirl election. The polls will be opened from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and estimates ranging from 3,000 to 5,0C0 voters have been made. Presidential Candidates Bob Powell, Student Party, and Teddy O'Toole, University Par ty, have campaigned vigorous ly during the past week try ing to get the necessary sup port for their election. Independent candidate Son ny Pepper pledged his support to Powell in the runoff elec tion. He polled 940 votes in last weeks voting. Concerning the extra wreek of campaigning, David Kiel, UP, vice chairman, commented, "It's given the voters another week to meet the candidates, consider the issues and make a more informed comparison. That's why we're confident. "Now that it's down to a two-man race, we feel Teddy will benefit by this," Kiel said. Powell said, "The extra week has allowed me to see more people and many of the new leaders have given me their support. I'm quite pleas ed with their endorsement." The Consitutional Council upheld protests for six legis lative seats in Tuesday's elec tion. Another election will be held in Men's District Five because a UP candidate was listed as an SP candidate. Competing in the district will be Joe Chandler. SP. Bruce lished. He thinks "King of the Road" is the best thing he has writ ten, "though I had to induce labor to get it completed." After completing the first verse. Miller was stuck. He went to a nearby store in Boise, Idaho, purchased a stat uette of a hobo and "I sat and stared at it until the rest of the tune came to me." Now in their fourth season with Andy Williams on televis ion, the Good Time Singers have a couple of record al bums on the market, and have established themselves as pop ular concert and nightclub per formers all over the land. In the Morrison race there will be four SP candidates and two UP candidates. Last Tues day Dick Levy, Frank Long est. Lacy Reaves and Eric Van Loon, all SP, won seats in legislature. However, a protest was filed by George Ingram on behalf of Bob Wilbur, a UP candidate for legislature, with the Constitutional Council. The protest was upheld. The protest was filed because a candidate withdrew from the election at noon on election day. Bob Pittard, UP, said he felt the protest should not have been filed. "The other candi dates were fairly elected," Pittard said. He said he has placed statements on Morrison bulletin boards to this effect. "I turned in my withdraw al 15 days before election day to E. J. Simmons, chairman of the nominating committee at Morrison," Pittard said. Arthur Hays, elections board chairman, said the withdrawal was legal if it went' to Sim-, mons or to the Elections Board. Pittard said "the UP did defi nitely know about his with drawal before the election Tuesday. Hays said volunteer count ers will be needed about 7:30 p.m. GM to count the ballots. The name of Lew Brown, new Men's Residence Council president, has appeared on campaign endorsements for both UP candidate Teddy O'Toole and SP candidate Bob Powell. "I'd like to make it plain that I am supporting O'Toole and Powell used my name with out permission," Brown said yesterday. By JACK TATE Special to DTH UNC has seven undergraduate men for every two coeds. Operation Match has hardly begun to meet Caro lina Gentlemen's demands for dates. And Jubilee is just one month away. Well, the unfortunate many without dates can relax. A unique American innovation, Lonely Hearts clubs, can solve their problems permanently. Each of America's some 600 clubs circulate master lists that contain descriptions of the physical and social characteristics of the members. Here are some exam ples "Betty: A perfectly gorgeous, shapely young lady. Gorgeous auburn hair. VERY LONESOME and very ea ger to meet a nice young man like YOU." And another opportunity "Nadine: Age 30, honey blonde. Beuatiful brown eyes. VERY AFFECTIONATE. . . wants to meet YOU very soon. . . " And then the chance of a college man's lifetime MEN! MEN! "Our women are screaming to meet you! Tell us what kind you want. In a week you'll start receiving letters. Don't for get our slogan: 'No man is any good without a woman!' Janis Lynn. P. O. Box 1100." The perfect Jubilee dates? Of course. Discretion is the key not only to valor but to happi ness as well. In other words, choose your club carefully. For sociologist Clyde B. Vedder discovered that in some clubs "the women had underestimated their ages by 10 to 30 years ..." But a man with a little perseverance can't go wrong. Witness the success of the southern gentleman who plac ed this notice in a Lonely Hearts club magazine: "Well-to-do Gentleman in early forties wishes to cor respond with southern lady of refinement. Object matri mony." This man received 13.000 replies from girls and wom en ranging in age from 11 to 103, according to Prof. Vedder. Paradise? Compared to this man, Milton did not even know the meaning of the word. In the May edition of "All Man" there is a directory of "Active" clubs. Under North Carolina is this state ment: "If you want to make the right move toward ending your lonely days, write us & we will go to work for you at once. . . . Men will receive free 490 ladies' picture L listings .... UNITED CIRCLE CLUBS Dept. 53, 2702 Stratford Dr., Greensboro. X. C." The Greensboro club claims to have girls from "ev erywhere"' but some Loney Hearts organizations special ize in English. German or Japanese girls. One typical ad reads: "For centuries Japanese girls have been trained since childhood in the art of pleasing men and catering to their every desire and wish .... TODAY rush $1.00." The Japanese club is not only cheaper than Operation Match but even promises "unkLssed maidens." Just the type of girl that every Carolina Gentleman is dying to date. Speaker Ruling Due Wednesday Acting Chancellor J. Carlyle Sitterson said yesterday that he expected to decide Wednes day whether he will allow Frank Wilkinson or Dr. Her bert Aptheker to speak on campus. The student - faculty com mittee on visiting speakers met yesterday and decided on its recommendation. Sitterson said he expected the committee to advise him of its recommen dation sometime today. Sitterson said he would be in Raleigh today but that he ;would consider the commit tee's recommendation and the advice of faculty members Wednesday and at that time he would make his decision. Wilkinson and Aptheker were reinvited to speak here March 14 by a group of stu dent leaders. Sitterson was advised of the invitation at that time al though the student faculty committee meeting to discuss the invitation was delayed un til Monday, the day after the invitation became public. Student Body President Paul Dickson said Saturday that there would be no court case if Wilkinson and Aptheker are allowed to speak on campus. Takes Sleeping Pills .Notice For Physical Prompts Suicide Try By ED FRAKLEY DTH Staff Writer A 19-year-old University sophomore attempted suicide . yesterday morning after re ceiving notice from his draft board that he was to report for his physical examination April 12. The student was taken to N. C. Memorial Hospital short ly before noon where his stom ach was pumped. He is report ed to be in good condition. He was found lying on the floor of his downtown apart ment by the student who lived next door. "I came up the stairs and started down the hall," the boy said. "I saw an arm lying out in the hallway. The door to his apartment was open and the record player was on. "I thought maybe he'd been drinking. I bent over him and shook his arm. He didn't move. I ran out and got some one to call an ambulance and the police." According to the student who found the boy there was a sui cide note. It was addressed, "Dear Mom and Dad." The . student aid the'note said that the boy loved his parents very much and he was sorry for what he had done. It also said he couldn't face two years in the service and this was the only way out, ac cording to the neighbor. Campus Security Office Ar thur Beaumont said that three notes were found and all were intended for the boy's parents. Beaumont would not reveal what was in the notes, but said they apologized for what the boy was doing. Two empty sleeping pill bot tles were found in the apart ment. The boxes were with the bottles. Beaumont said a nurse in the emergency room told him that even if the boy took all the tablets in both bottles it would not have killed him. The number of tablets in a small bottle of the. sleeping pills is 20. The letter from' the d r a f t board had arrived in yester day's mail, about 10 a.m. Attempted suicide is a crime in North Carolina, but Chapel Hill Detective Capt. C. E. Dur ham said he didn't think charges would be brought against the boy. Dr. Ed Hedgpeth, director of the infirmary, said the boy would be kept under observa tion for a couple of days. Beaumont said the boy will undergo psychological examin ation to determine whether he will be allowed to remain at the University. 'V. w Popular Poplar Pines Posterity 3 '1 ' - v. ?jw. -r-rv S ?

By PEYTIE FEARRINGTON DTH STAFF WRITER A tree grows on Emerson Field. Dr. E. McG. Hedgpeth and a group of alumni are out to save and honor it for pos terity. When asked why, the Direc tor of Student Health stated, "Everybody knows the old story of the Rand boy dying while being hazed. Supposedly it was under that big poplar at the end of the stadium. Be cause of Rand's death, hazing was outlawed the University. I'm not making an all out campaign for this, but I am interested in having the tree saved and an historical plaque being put on it." This all seems very simple except for one problem. A stu dent union is to be built on Emerson Field and as John S. Bennett, member of the Uni versity Buildings Committee, said, "Yes, I think they plan to completely level Emerson Field." When the proposition of sav ing the tree was put to Ben nett he said, "It all depends on where the tree is. We wouldn't change the position or the style of the building for one tree, but if it is in a work able place, it could be saved." Bennett stated a few stipu lations for the project, "The tree would have to be positive ly identified before it could be saved. Although nothing will be done to Emerson for about 30 days, Hedgpeth should get in touch with the Chancellor who will make the final decis ion." Was there really a tragic death under an old tree? Sur prisingly, the answer is yes. It was back in 1912. A fresh man from Smithfield, Isaac William Rand, and his room mate, Robert Wellons, were awakened in the early hours of the morning by four sopho mores. They were dragged from their rooms in Old East out to the athletic field. There both boys were made to give a speech on the glory of the class of '16 and the infamy of the class of '17. After this, both boys were commanded to dance on a bar rel while singing "Home Sweet Home." Wellons was first to dance, and, although he slipped once, he completed the ordeal suc cessfully. Rand mounted the barrel and began his performance. He slipped and cut his jugular vein on a piece of crockery that had fallen out of the bar rel. The upperclassmen, at the first sight of blood, panicked and ran, leaving Wellons with his roomate. Wellons carried Rand to Carr Dormitory, the closest building, but it was too late. Rand died within about three minutes after his fall. The news went out over the state, and all the newspapers carried the tragic story. Louis R. Wilson's book The University of North Carolina tells of the repercussions of the event. Peresident Venable and seven faculty members composed a committee to in vestigate the affair. Meanwhile the press, the governor, and the coroner urged a full inves tigation. When it was all over, the four sophomores were arrest ed for manslaughter and tried in Orange Superior Court. One boy was acquitted and the oth er" three were convicted and sentenced to four months im prisonment in the county jail. Later the bos were given the privilege of being hired out instead of serving the jail sentence. By the commission ers' agreement, they were hir ed out to their parents who provided the costs for the case. With the passage of several more weeks, four other stu dents were expelled, 12 sus pended for a year and two giv en an official reprimand for involvement with hazing.
