And who is your candidate for the UMOC? mm Matthews tiles His Answers To The 'Big 5' Wade Matthews, independent candidate for student body president, yesterday filed answers to Editor Walt Dear's editorial questions of last week.

Matthews said he was to see "a request for information from ranriiHatps rvn thfir Qn certam controversial lssues. "I believe," said Matthews, "that each candidate has as his duty. to the students to make a definite stand on all important issues." He listed the following answers to the questions posed by Editor Dear: 1. I personally am in favor of Carolina's continued participation in NSA, however that question will be decided by the students in a referendum in May, and the policy of my administration would abide strictly by the results of that vote. 2.

I favor revision of the CUSC so as to provide closer contact and more cooperation between the student bodies of the three branches of UNC (including more emphasis on such things as Consolidated University day). I do not believe that the student governments of the three institutions are quite capable of presenting a united front on issues affecting all the students without having to go through such an unwieldy organization as CUSC in its present form. 3. I believe that the Student Entertainment Series is one of the piost appreciated activities of Student Government. Some changes to alleviate crowding are necessary however.

On such an important issue as making the series voluntary, believe that each student should be given the right to express his individual opinion. I therefore support a referendum on the question in May (if possible) or next fall. 4. It would require an act of the State Legislature to place a student voting member on the board of trustees. A non-voting member could be placed on it, however, by action of the present Board.

I heartily favor such a plan. 5. The Book Exchange is prohibited by law from under-selling local merchants. However, the miserable trade-in allowances that they give students for used texts, and their seeming policy of non-cooperation in frequently not tell ing the competing privately-owned Several contestants have already been entered and many more are expected before the deadline Sat urday afternoon for Theta Chi fraternity's ''Ugliest Man On Cam pus contest, according to contest chairman Bob Skillen.

Allied hopes vanished that the Communists would turn over more than 600 prisoners, not more than 125 of whom are expected to be American.

But they were preparing to receive the Allied captives, whom the Commun ists promised to deliver at the rate of 100 per day. WASHINGTON Former Army Secretary Frank Pace said yesterday a major reason why ammunition production was not Pushed in the r'TT'Ir first six months I of the Korean jWar was Gen. Douglas MacAr- iiii! thur's "considered judgment" the 4war would end in December of 1950. Pace made jthe statement be fore a Senate Armed Services subcommittee in Douglas MacAr thur vestigating reports of serious and long-standing ammunition shortages in Korea.

bookstore what texts will be used next quarter, and thereby forcing ttheir trade-in allowances down, should definitely be changed, thereby giving both the students and their competitors a better deal. 'Do-Nothing' UP Rule Hit By Penegar Ken Penegar, Student Party presidential nominee, yesterday at-tacked Ham Horton's administration for what he called "do-noth-ingism." He said the UP administration have done little or nothing on top problems. Specifically, he re-fered to the "unhappy state of affairs in our judicial structure which still contains injustices, the Student Council, finally out of politics after SP's support to have the bill passed over presidential veto." Penegar also mentioned the "area of academic affairs where we find too few General College advisers and the high cost of textbooks and the low re-sale value at the Book Exchange." He said, "Nothing has been done on those problems by the current administration." President Ham Horton has point-ed out that his administration saved some General College advisers from being dropped when enrollment went down shortly after the UP took over control last year. "We expect to hear of a com pletely reorganized and revitaliz ed advising system," from the administration soon, Horton said, as the result of a student government committee working on the problems and the semester system starting next fall. Penegar also stated he wanted equal privileges for nurses as coeds.

"In short, "concluded the SP candidate, "it is an empty administration, running' an empty campaign asking you the students to vote for emptiness and do-noth-ingism." Gene Cook, Penegar's campaign manager, also censured the University Party for its lack of attendance at Legislature. "During the last season, the University Party had 34 absences. The SP had 17 absentees," said Cook. Administration Now Studying Coed Compact (Continued from page 1) Froelich and Fred Mewhinney. Individual fraternity presidents and coeds have also worked in the campaign.

(The ropH? want tn tp. inove discriminations between them ana imports). During the Winter Quarter, Chancellor R. B. House, Dean of Students Fred Weaver, Assistant Dean Roy Holsten and Dean cf Women Katherine Carmichael met with President Gray to discuss the drinking question.

They agreed that there is a need to consider seriously some alteration of the current policy in an effort to remove discrepancies and establish a common sense policy. They recommended that the IFC consider modifications along these lines: 1. Establish reasonable visiting hours for all women. 2. Obtain responsible adult supervision of social activities including visiting of women.

3. Review the existing IFC machinery for handling possible violations of the visiting agreement, with an eye towards maintaining standards of conduct as outlined in the Campus Code. The D7C and fraternity presidents considered these suggestions and prepared their proposal embodying the suggestions along with a general outline of operating mechanics. It is this proposal that the administration is considering now. The Student Union Activities Board will sponsor George Bennette, a blind pianist, for its first concert of the Spring Quarter.

The concert will be held Tuesday night in Hill Hall at 8:30 Mary Bryan, Chairman of the Music Committee of SUAB, said yesterday. Bennette is a native of Greensboro. In high school he was so loist for the North Carolina Sym- phony. He attended the North Carolina State School for the Blind and later Oberlin College in Ohio, where he received his Bachelor of Music degree in June 1951 with a major in piano. He received his Bachelor of Forester And Cook Gordon Forester, Student Party treasurer candidate, yesterday declared, "It amazes me how many different- interpretations we have received of our plank to abolish compulsory payment of fees to Woollen Gym and the Carolina Athletic Association." Forester explained the Student Party's position on the issue: "Any student who is not taking a course which involves the use of gym facilities or who is not engaged in any athletic activity outside of courses which involved the use of gym facilities should be allowed the option of paying the gym fee each quarter.

"Secondly, I feel that the student body deserves to know where this money is going and just exactly how it is being spent." Forester continued, "After much insistence to higher ups in the athletic department a very general financial statement was issued to The Daily Tar Heel. "Any business trying to get by with a financial statement such as this to its stockholders would be laughed at." Forester suggested that a campus referendum be held to decide if students wanted to continue the $3.33 per quarter C.A.A. fee. Mutilating, tearing down or otherwise disfiguring campaign posters is an Honor Code violation. Violaters will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

Phi Mu Alpha Elects Sibley New President Tommy Sibley of Albemarle, N. C. has been elected president of Alpha Rho Chapter of Phi Mu Alpha, national music fraternity. He succeeds Fred Rierson of Mount Airy as head of the local group. Also elected at the meeting were Jim Headlee, Asheville, vice-president; Wilbur Boice, White-ville, secretary; Lewis Mack, Mooresville, treasurer; and Lee Bostian' RaleiSh.

warden The group also discussed plans for attending the regional convention at the University of Miami, Coral Gables, on the week end of May 1. Arts degree from UNC in August, 1952, with a major in music and the violin as his special instrument. Bennette is now attending the Julliard School of Music in New York City, working toward his Master of Science degree and studying piano under Joseph Bloch. He is a member of Pi Kappa Lambda and Phi Beta Kappa honor societies. Bennette has performed con certs in Ohio and North Carolina, havnig given a violin recital here in July, 1952.

His selections for this concert will be taken from Bach, Beethoven, Scriabin, Von Weber, and Ravel. Jerry Cook, University Party treasurer candidate yesterday voiced his views on the SP proposal to put the athletic fees on a voluntary basis. "Were they considering the general welfare of UNC or considering the possibility of getting the votes of some selfish students who think only of themselves and not of Carolina?" asked Cook. "We may as well make a proposal to have people taking one course pay tuition for one course, two for two, and so on," he added. "I think it is the duty of the UNC student to support his University within reasonable limits and not take the attitude of 'what's in it for Cook said the state is supporting the University "as much as it can the students have to do the rest." He said also that we have one of the best physical education departments in the country.

"This gym fee is a general tax, not a personal tax and should not be treated as such. The past, which is the best guide to the future, proved that subscription would not work," Cook continued. He concluded, "As for the $3.33 passbook fee, I don't think this proposal is worth discussing. It is ridiculous to propose to put this on a subcription basis. It is one of the best deals we ever got and what do you say let's leave well enough alone before we start paying full price for athletic contests?" Alpha Kappa Psi Names Lacy Baynes President Lacy Baynes, a third quarter sophomore from Greensboro, has been elected president of Alpha Kappa Psi's spring pledge class.

Other officers chosen by the pledges of the professional business fraternity were John Stuart of Shelby, vice-president and Al Stanly of secretary-treasurer.

The members of the pledge class will serve as junior members of the various committees of the chapter. Plans are also being made for a formal pledge banquet-dance to be held around the first of May..
