Emergency crop and feed loans

CHAPEL HILL, Jan. 27.-Polltl-
cal conventions at the University!
Riyaling the nations own setup is
the method introduced by Preston
Nisbet of Wilmington.
Nisbet chairman of the Student
Party at the University, is sponsor
in , a truly democratic representa-
ton of the Carolina student body by
having two delegates chosen from
each floor of the mems domitorles
and three representatives from each
floor of the women's dormitories.
Affiliated fraternities elect one de-
legate.
'The Student Party recognizes the
increase in goods during the past
each floor of the mems DORM tories
also have more students on each
floor than the men. So we are allow
ing one more delegate per floor
from the women's dormitories," ex-
planned Preston Nesbit, as he dis
cussed his party's plans on the steps
of Cardinals Old Well.
Only One-Sixth
Nisbet added that since fraternity
men compose only one-sixth of the
University student body, the Stu
dent Party is continuing its policy
of giving fraternities an exact repre-
s~entation in accordance with their
numerical proportion of the student
body.
Following the election Of represen-
tatives in the dormitories the gen.
eral Student Party convention will
be held. All University students
may participate. However only the
representatives will have the right
to vote for the candidates. This is
the first time such :. convention la
been held at the University.

before the house was destroyed. The
property was partially insured.
