I TO Held -Tonight 3 St toih QX6S Delegates from 20 different schools in North Carolinat South Carolina and Virginia began ar riving in Chapel Hill yesterday afternoon to attend the regional assembly of the National Student Association being held here. Approximately 100 delegates are expected to be here for the assembly, Barry Farber, regional chairman, said yesterday. The delegates will hear reports from national President Bill Dentzer, Muskigum College, Ohio and Dick Murphy, Carolina.

Five workshops dealing with student government, publications, and campus-international rela tions will take up most of the week-end regional meet.

'There's no fight," said W. D. Carmichael Jr. in speaking of the supply store matter at State College. "My hope is that whatever pro fits made by the stores be de voted to scholarships for all stu dents in need of financial aid. Athletes shouldn't get preferen tial treatment, but there should be more scholarships for every one." ; - . He also hopes that there will be more recreational facilities at State College, pointing out, 'There is still a wide disparity between W.C., UNC, and State College." 5 George ; "Buck" Pruden, I State student president, was introduced to the trustees by Carmichael as a "typical student." Pruden read excerpts from a prepared state-? ment, saying, The campus goVr ernment of State College, recogni zing that the matter of the estat e - (See STORES, page 4) To Gather Here college pi nl. I tusrees KeDUKe Fellow-Member Clark RALEIGH "The cold war is over' Governor Kerr Scott remarked yesterday as he adjourned a. University of North Carolina trustee group which, in effect, rebuked their fellow member John .Clark. The trustees at their meeting here accepted, by a 47-23 vote a resolution branding the Greensboro industrialist's actions concerning segregation and racial affairs as the work of an individual and not representative of the board or its execu tive committee, of which Clark is a member. , , Text of the resolution reads :n ; ' Trustees of the Greater Univer sity that the statements and de clarations of Mr. John W. Clerk and his controversy with others concerning segregation and ra cial questions are his individual responsibility, and the board deems it inappropriate for it to take official recognition of such "matters." Gray described the recent dis pute between Clark and students as a "hassle" characterized by charges, counter-charges, and counter-counter-charges." . I Clark had Teen accused of "in timidation" and "Gestapo like tactics" by students who object ed to inquiries he has made into the background of students op posing segregation. Clark registered objections to Gray's remarks several times. First, he leaped to his feet as Gray declared, ."I think that to characterize the statements of those with whom we disagree as 'dammed lies' . . . " " Clark asserted he had been misquoted by the Raleigh News and Observer and the Associated Press. - "I'm very glad to know you didn't say that . . . (If you did not) I owe you a public apology," Gray said. "I do object to one statement," he continued, "that things are as bad in Chapel Hill as they are in the State Depart ment in Washington.V Clark interrupted again, assert ing he was "talking about the fringe area around the University . . . including the activities of such people as the Rev. Charles Jones (pastor of the Chapel Hill Presbyterian church) and others who are as bad as the Commun ists in Washington." Flustered Gray apologized again. "Perhaps it is I who am in tolerant," the president later stat ed, "because ! do not agree with He glanced toward Clark. "I assume and hope the public and the press will consider an in dividual trustee's action the ac- tion of a citizen of the state un less, authorized," Gray declared. -; He asked that : the board clear ly authorize activities done under its name. "We will assume any individual, just as any . individual student, acts with full realization that he is" acting as an individual and not under the shield of the University or this board," he said. The University president reas serted his fundamental belief in the students freedom to object and complain. But they must sbonHer t'"- r "Tnanving re Prior to the" meeting, the trust ees received a -signed statement from John' Sanders, Ed McLeod and Dick Murphy in "which the three UNC students declared that students -should be allowed - to inquire and think for themselves. However, the statement assert ed, "We do not conceive that by becoming students in the Univer sity in part by right as citizens; in part by the payment of a large share of the costs of our education -we thereby are required to forgo any right of immunity of citizenship, including the right to be free from irresponsible criti cism, unfounded charges and surreptitious and underhanded in a.- vestigations by " public oiiiciais, wnatever xneir oojeci. in or ao we forego the right to express ah un popular opinion' without being 1. " A 1 il- " T- . J fcT -t ' condemned as heretics." All three students had been criticized by uiaric, an outspoK- en advocate of segregation. Explaining his position at the onset of the meeting, Clark listed "18" charges against the "rotten fringe" " of Chapel Hill. He also attacked the Daily Tar 'HeeL the Rpleigh News and Observer, and Greensboro and Charlotte newis-' papers. He ' described articles in the papers . as the work of . "Oscar " Coffin and his hatchet boys and the NAACP; and their associates." Among his "Iff charges" were such ' items" as the activities ' of 1 - TT!1I J 1 Jones and David ' Yates, the ac ceptance of money ' from ;be Kosenwaia tuna by the Univer sity, two white girls- from" Wo- racial, meeting at' West Market Street Methodist church" in Greensboro and "Hanging around inside the church with the Negro men for more "than an "hour after the services," : communists in Chapel Hill, "Eleanor Roosevelt's sending a Negro band to Chapel Hill," unsegregated ' religious meetings at Woman's Collegearid anji-segregation "propaganda1' circulated by the ' Associated Press. ' ' ' v' -' '" ' " "It is unfortunate," Clark said, "that a Womans College com mittee refused ia allow Billy Graham to address them for fear he might upset the girls emotion ally." Then, Clark said, Bertram Russell was permitted to speak on the campus. He! described Rus sell as an "atheist' and "advocate of free love." He called upon the trustees to set up a committee of three to in vestigate the situation .
