About two nights each week,
Sills, a junior in the Music de

his squeeze box and temporarily
turns the place into a "little
Broadway- for the pleasure of all
who wish to listen. '

The controversy between Student Body President Henry
Bowers and former Daily Tar Heel news editor O. 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

tinued. "He is similarly charged.

cording to Milledge.".
Murphy ,a former attorney-general
of the Student Body, is a
member of the Student Party
and a supporter and close per
sonal friend of Bowers. He was

DTH office on Thursday night,
October 4. 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."
