Moore concluded, "We are
not looking for professionals

Say Facilities
Inadequate In
Social Rooms
Coeds May Visit
On Special Affairs
With Dean's O.K.
x' By Walt Dear
Dean of Students Fred
Weaver said yesterday that he
and Dean of Women Kathar
ine Carmichael 'believed that
there were not "adequate fa
cilities and staff" for men's
dorms to have coeds visiting
in dorm social rooms.
Weaver further explained
that "adequate" signified some
thing similar to the facilities and
staff that are in the women's
dorms.
"We don't think that we are
prepared to have the coeds vis
iting in the social rooms without
chaperons," he continued.
He pointed out that discus
sions between Interdormitory
Council officials and the admin
istration would be continued thisi
spring. "The whole question will
be considered at these meetings,"
he added.
Weaver asserted that there
would be no objection to coeds
visiting on special occasions in
the men's social rooms, subject
to the Dean of Women's approval.
Discussion in the Interdormi
tory Council Monday night led
to a clarification of the deans'
views on the subject. Previously,
the IDC and the Coed Senate had
passed resolutions favoring a vis
iting agreement similar to that of
the present fraternity house vis
iting regulations.

Threatened Segregation Cut'

Special to The Daily Tar Heel
RALEIGH, March 27 The
smoke cleared today around the
capital controversy concerning
eliminating state appropriations
for schools admitting both white

appeared to be no fire under

John- Kerr, Jr., University1 Trus

House from Warrenton. The wires
read:
"In view of the action of the

any schools that do not follow
segregation. That has been done
in Georgia and is going to be
done in South Carolina. I have

Former Duke Student's
Band Plays For Dance
A former student of Duke Uni
versity with all the spark of a
blue devil and the refinements
of the South invades the campus
Saturday, April 14, to give a con
cert and play for the annual In
terdorm dance.
Les Brown and his "Band of
Renown" comes to Chapel Hill in
a tour of trie Atlantic seaboard
and will , play in Durham for the
Bob Hope show the night before
his engagement here.
The writer of " "Sentimental
Journey" and a popular saxo-
! phonist," Brown first played at
UNC in the mid-thirties as leader
of the Duke Blue Devils for the
Grail dances. He later formed a
new band in 1938 and began to
play in major night clu,bs and
hotels throughout the country.
His band has appeared and
played before the largest au
diences in the world. Traveling
the Armed Forces circuit and
playing for Hope's show have
brought him to thousands of mus
ic-lovers. He recently made a
trip with Hope to Korea where
thev covered 25,000 miles and en-
tertained about 500,000 service -

Rep. C. Wayland Spruill im

considering introducing legisla
tion to cut off appropriations for
any school that admits both white
and Negro students. Other legis
lators apparently ignored Kerr's
telegram.
What touched off the contro
versy was a recommendation by
the Executive Committee to the
full Board. of Trustees last week
that Negroes foe admitted to grad

Yesterday Rep. Spruill had
changed his tune slightly. He
told The Daily Tar Heel in a tele
phone interview:
'."I'm waiting for a communica
iton from John Kerr . . . From
what I can gather the Executive
Committee has tried to get rid of
a bad situation as best they can.
I know what's on their mind, or
at least I think I know they
want to keep out all but two or
three a year. Then the students'
attitude will be so cool toward
them that they'll leave like
they've done out in Oklahoma
and those other places. I think
I'll be able to let you know some
thing within the next 48 hours."
One capital observer comment

just" hoping on the old segrega

Playmakers
To Produce
Three Plays
"Tomorrow and Tomorrow,"
"'The Belt," and "From Beneath
the Wing" compose the bill of
three original one-act plays to be
presented by the Carolina Play
makers at the Playmaker theater
Friday. Curtain time is set for
7:30 p.m., and admission is free.
The three scripts, all having
their premiere, were written by
students in the playwriting
courses here, and will be acted
and directed entirely by student
talent.
"Tomorrow and, Tomorrow" is
by Richard Hopkins of Yakima,
Wash. It is described by the au
thor as a folkplay of the Colo
rado ranchlands. It confronts a
lonely, passionate young woman
with the problem of obeying her
marriage duties to an ill and dis
agreeable husband, or finding
ihappiness for herself in a new
love with one of the ranch hands.
Emily Crow of High Point
wrote the second play, "The Belt,"
which is a study of the conflict
between mystical folk supersti
tion and modern medical prac
tice. A seriously ill woman is
persuaded by her well-intentioned
friends to refuse the aid of a
county health nurse and rely for
her cure on a "holiness belt."
"From Beneath the Wing" is
by Reg Manning of Williamston,
and is set in North Carolina. It
tells the simple story of a young
man's ascent from adolescence
into manhood.
Play Tryouts
Set Monday
The Carolina Playmakers yes
terday announced tryouts for the
fifth student production of the
season, to be held in the Play
maker theater next Monday at
4 o'clock and 7:30 p.m. The play
is scheduled for production April
24 and 25.
"Tempest in a Teacup" by Jim
Ginther of Durham is the play
selected. Ginther has described it
as a murder-mystery-melodrama
in three acts.
Scripts of the play will be
placed on" reserve in the library
today for those who wish to give
it a reading before attending the
auditions.

Gordon Gray
Urges Appeal
To Top Court
Appellate Unit
Says Injunction
Must Be Given
The U. S. Fourth Circuit
Court of Appeals in Richmond
ruled yesterday that the Uni
versity must admit Negro stu
dents to the Law School, and
President Gordon Gray im
mediately urged the Board of
Trustees to appeal the decis
ion to the Supreme Court.
The Appeals Court reversed
the Durham District Court and
ordered remanded to it a suit
brought by Negro students at the
North Carolina College in Dur
ham. The Appellate Court said the
trial court must grant the relief
sought by the Negroes an in
junction against the University
and its officials to prohibit them
from denying Negroes admission
to the Law School of this J 57-year-old
all-white institution.
Gray's statement said, "In view
of our conviction that the state of
North Carolina has in cqmplete
good faith attempted for more
than a decade to provide equal
legal educational opportunities
for our Negro citizens at the
North Carolina College in Dur
ham, I will strongly urge the
Board of Trustees to request the
Supreme Court to review the de
cision of the Court of Appeals
reversing the District Court.
"This, of course," Gray contin
ued, "means that we would seek
a stay of execution of the Court's
injunction pending the Supreme
Court's decision in the case."
"This conforms with the re
commendation of the Executive
Committee to the Board of Trus
tees that competitively qualified
Negroes be admitted to the Uni
versity only in the graduate or
professional schools where the
State does tiot provide such fa
cilities for Negroes within the
state."
The full Board of Trustees will
meet to consider the Executive
Committee recommendation April
4.
The Circuit Court said in mak
ing its decision:
"Our examination of the undis
puted facts of the case convinces
us that the Negro school is clearly
inferior to the white, and that t he-
judgement must, therefore, be re
versed ..."
The Appeals Court said the
North Carolina case differs in
circumstances but not in principle
from the University of Texas
case.
The opinion continued:
"The defense seeks in part t-
avoid the charge of inequality by
