C I till Court Hearing Of Negro Suit Set For March Admittance Rights Will Be Challenged By Suit Of Appeal A law , suit which challenges the right of the University to bar Negroes from its Law School will be heard by the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond, Va., March 17 a date marked on many calendars as St. Patrick's Day. The circuit court will be asked to set aside a judgment entered last October by Judge Johnson J. Hayes, upholding the Univers ity's position. Judge Hayes ruled that facili ties available at North Carolina College, a Negro institution at Durham, were equal to, and in some ways better, than facilities available at Chapel Hill. The judge pointed out that the law school at Durham had an "excellent" faculty and adequate library, and more space per stu dent than tne Chapel Hill school. He held, too, that the cultural advantages and prestige of the ( University were negligible. The suit originally was filed by two North Carolina College stu dentsHarold T. Epps and Robert Carter. Both have withdrawn- Epps, because he graduated and is now practicing law, and Carter because he is not a legal resident of North Carolina. . -: , The students now listed as in tervenors are Floyd McKissack, Sol Revis, James Lassiter, and J Kenneth Lee.

A C The IDC Court had sentenced the student to indefinite suspen sion from residence in University dormitories. The student made the appeal to the ' Student Council on the grounds that he had not been in formed of the charge for which he had been sentenced. The de fendant said that he felt that the sentence was not commensurate with the degree of the offense. The higher court said the main grounds for appeal had no effect on the trial and rejected it. Other grounds were, rejected as having no valid basis in the case. The IDC reported the actions of the student to the . Men's Council, since it felt they were in viola tion of the Campus Code. In the second case a request for removal of probation was granted. The defendant had been placed on probation by the Student Council on appeal of a decision by the Men's Council last year. The Student Council found that the student had complied with the regulations pertaining to pro- bation and was qualified for the j full rights of a Carolina student. established by Congress, recog nizing Finnish efforts'-to1 pay off her war debt. Congress author ized the money to be used for Finnish and American students who wished to study in the two countries. Timo was the" only doctor out of 800 applicants that was awarded the scholarship. The old question asked of every visiting student by any reporter was given a new twist, when Timo was asked about Chapel Hill. - ' "Don't like the weather here. Too warm." Timo's favorite pas time vasi skiing in Finland's beautiful Countryside in 50 de grees below zero weather. And he did it almost every afternoon with his wife.

"My "thinking is going beyond next June," the general told the House Armed Service Committee, referring to the current goal of 3,462,000 men under arms by that time.

Asking that no legal limitation be put on use of 18-year-olds, he repeated his assur ance that no draftee taken in at the start of the program will be sent to a corrtbat area before his 19th birthday except in "dire emergency." And" in support of the longer range UMST proposal the World War II Army Chief of Staff and former Secretary of State gravely told the committee: "This country does not now have the kind of time a year to 22 months that it took to raise and train a division in the last war.
