Mac White, smouldering for the past few days, burst into a white flame yesterday following an announcement by Rolfe Neill, onetime DTH managing editor and supporter of White in the dispute, stating that all three principals had been summoned to appear before the Men's Honor Council tonight at 8:30. In a statement to The Daily Tar Heel, Neill said, "The Honor Council is falling the Bowers-White-Neill case up at 8:30 pjn. Thursday night. Allan Milledge, chairman, told me Tuesday night! the Neill-White charges are an outgrowth of Bowers' telling Mil ledge he'd like to see the case 'gone into.' "Also summoned is DTH col umnist Mac White," Neill con tinued. "He is similarly charged. Milledge told me (Neill) the council also is subpoenaing Bow ers. Milledge said evidence war ranted that 'one pr three might be lying."

Auditions take so much preparation I don't know whether I'll have the time or not. I lost 14 pounds before my ap pearance on the other show." "I plan to give the stage a try when I feel I am good enough to make a go of it, but I've really got a lot more studying to do be fore being ready for the enter tainment field,' he added.

Neill who has support ed White in the dispute was also present. In a column published two days later, White claimed that Bowers, when questioned during the inter view as to why he was not pre sent at a meeting of student re presentatives held in Chancellor R.B. House's office to discuss the problem of Negro student segre gation at athletic events, replied "House has not come to me, why should I go to him." Charging that Bowers should have attended the meeting, White also wrote: "After publically accusing the administration of un wise handling, of insulting the student body, and of insinuating the student body had neither moral character or intelligence, it would seem from his absence at the meeting that he did not care to defend his statement before the j administration's representative (House)." Replying to White's attack in a later issue of the paper (Oct. 10), Bowers explained that he did not attend the meeting because the group was composed of represen tatives of various student groups and was not acting in behalf of Student Government. Bowers also said that White had "misrepresented" his reasons ; for not attending the meeting, and his "true attitude" in the question. The Student Body president fur ther stated that he did "not recall the statement and" felt "certain that if it were made it has been i removed from its context." Then in last Sunday's Daily Tar Heel, Whie in his column "Worm's Eye View" continued his attack upon Bowers. Asserting : that Bowers did make the contest ed statement, White said that it "made quite an impression" on him. "It was the direct answer to a direct question," the columnist continued, and claimed that he (White) had two witnesses, "al though; one of them being Dick Murphy, will probably call me (White) a liar. He has done it fore. " A letter from one Of the "wit nesses' Neill published in the same issue of the paper, supported White and charged Bowers with f being "wittingly or unwittingly a liar." Claiming that he had "little personal interest in the matter except to see the truth told," Neill recalled the incidents of the interview and said , that Bowers attitude was "so evident that Mac White snorted in disgust at both you and Dick Murphy." ere' s What Snook Opines by Harry Snook Did-Henry say it? .'
