Meeting On
Segregation
It seems ' as though there " is
method in spontaneous passing of
resolutions condemning the Uni
versity's alleged Negro . segrega
tion policy by various and sundry
student organizations.
All organizations that have
passed resolutions will have a
representative on hand at 4 p.m.
today to meet with Chancellor R.
B. House and present the reso
lutions in one body, according to
Henry Bowers, president of the
student body.
The resolutions were initiated
by a mysterious "main resolu
tion" which was drawn . up and
circulated to student organiza
tions by an anonymous commit
tee.7 This committee wishes to
keep the content of the so called
main resolution from being pub
lisheduntil after the meeting today.-
''
The segregation disturbance
arose last week when Negro "law
student James R. Walker, Jr., re
turned to House tickets in the
colored section of Kenan Stadium
in lieu of a; student passbook.
Bowers made public his disap
proval of the situation on Friday
and was soon followed by student
religious groups in their Sunday
night meetings.
r Tuesday night the Student Leg
islature in a special session and
with a 27-14 vote and the Mono
gram Club' unanimously passed
resolutions in which they stated
their disapproval of Negro segre-
gation.
To substantiate the belief -that
Communist factions were opposed
to McCarthy Kersten quoted a
passage from the Daily .Worker
which Read: "I urge all Commu
nist Party members, and all anti
facists to yield second place to
none in the fight to rid our
country of the f acist poison of
McCarthyism.'
The second speaker of the even
ing. Boiling, a twice-elected con
gressman from Missouri, main
tained that "McCarthyism was so
bad it must be ranked with Com
munism." Boiling said, "FBI and
other government "agencies were
working well before .the McCar
thy investigations and that all
this commotion of the McCarthy
group was a movement to gain
power, prestiege, and publicity,
He said McCarthy destroyed
necessary papers for a case and
that he had been "somewhat neg
ligent regarding his income
taxes." Boiling summed up his
speech with the statement ''Mc
Carthyism is bad.
When a question was present-i
ed to Boiling that of which effect
did a""l the McCarthy mix-up
have on foreign nations, h re
plied, "We are using a cannon to
shoot fleas; they think we are
ridiculous. .

Extra Big Telegram '
Will Boost Morale
Every student will have a
chance to offer his good - wishes
to the football team in its conflict
this Saturday with the Texas
Longhorns, reported Duff ield
Smith of the University Club late
yesterday. ....
There will be booth in the in
the Y Court today from 9 a.m.
until noon at which anyone who
wishes can subscribe to a Beat
Texas" telegram for the price of
one thin dime, he said. , '
The telegram will be delivered
to the team just before they go on
the playing field.
For the first Notre Dame game
played in New York the stu
dent body got off a similar tele
gram which contained enough
names to stretch its length to 40
feet. "It's our hope," said Smith,
"to make that, one look pint size."
VOur quota of names," he con
tinued, "not only includes every
student, but every Chapel Hillian
as well." i '
The 10-cent charge, he explain
ed, is necessary to def ray the" cost
of sending the message.
Smith pointed out that the
team will be playing the Long
horns with no cheering section;
arid he emphasized the effect a
telegram of enormous proportions
could have on the team moral. .

North Carolina gubernatorial race
of 1952, Robert Thompson, editor
of the High Point Enterprise, told
the Phi Assembly Tuesday night

hection with their inauguration
of officers for the fall quarter.
Commenting upon the present
status of the leading contenders
for the 'governorship, Thompson
said that Associate Justice of the
State Supreme Court Samuel Er
win would have the best chance
of any of the candidates of de
feating ex-Senator William B.
Umstead, still the only person to
have declared his candidacy .
Henry W. Jordan, chairman of
the State Highway and Public
Works Commission, who is gener
ally considered to be Scott's per
sonal choice, will definitely not
run, Thompson said. Jordan, of
ten described as a "liberal", is
actually a big "textile magnate",

" Professors Might
End Classes Early
Every red blooded Tar Heel
expected to be on hand today to
give the football team an unfor
gettable sendoff when they leave
from in front of Woollen Gym at
1-pr.m. on the first leg of its trek
to Texas, according to Cy Minett,
head cheerleader.
"The General Advisory Board
doesn't direct any instructor to let
out his 12 o'clock classes early,"
said Chancellor R. B, House yes
terday, "but anyone that does has
the good , will of both the board
and myself."
"And if they turn us out," said
Minett, "we ought to be willing
to go down and see the boys off."
The team will takes buses at
the gym for the Raleigh-Durham
Airport where they catch a plane
for the rest of the trip.
"So", says, Minett "we expect
anybody who owns any thing that
rolls to bring it along in order
that we can follow the buses to
the airport."
Also greatly appreciated, says
the cheerleader, will be any ori
ginal signs which any persons
might have the ingenuity to de
sign and the initiative to bring
down to the sendoff.
To give an idea of the type of
signs wanted, Kay Kyser suggest
ed something on the order of "So
long, men. Take the T out of
Texas".
"But the sendoff is only half
of the job," Minett reminded.
"Whether they win or loose, they
gotta come back. And, although
there is no doubt in our minds
as to the outcome of the game,
the University Club expects
everyone to be on hand for the
return to Raleigh-Durham at 3:45
p.m. Sunday."
