Weaver, dean of student affairs, yesterday. Weaver was asked for his opinion about a rumored proposal for a bill to be introduced in the state Legislature requiring faculty advisors for all student publications in state-supported institutions. The suggestion was first heard of in the Wednesday column of Burke Davis, state Legislature cor- respondent ror The Greensboro Daily News. Davis wrote, "There Lis talk among the Assembly even' yet about the Coraddi affairs on (the WC) campus, and general de-' nunciation of the appearance of the nude male drawing in the ma- j gazine. One member, evidently in . dead earnest, speaks of having a' bill drawn which would require , faculty advisors for all publica-j tions at state-supported colleges."! Davis has said that he is sworn' to secrecy on the Legislator's) name. j Dean Weaver said, "I have heard of no proposal to censor our stu-j dent publications. Hence, mv. -ml statement is not related to any such suggestion. But, since you have asked me to state what I think is a wise policy with respect to supervision of student publi cations, I am glad to do so.

"Required faculty advisors for all student publications would be . an error from both a practical and a po licy standpoint. So far as I know, there has been no specific proposal looking in this direction.

Levin Says Someone Took His Petition A pro-integration petition with approximately 100 names was tition which calls for "the legis- lature of the State of North Caro- lina to implement a reasonable plan" to support the Supreme Court's decision against racial segregation in public schools "by appropriate legislative action," said yesterday "We have suffici ent reason to believe that we know who took the petition.

Clark of Franklinville, a frequent critic of the University of North Carolina, has written a letter protesting summer school plans at N. C. State College, The Raleigh News and Observer said yesterday. Chancellor Carey Bostian of State has asked the executive com mittee of the UNC trustees to per- I mit about 30 Negroes to attend a three-week extension course this summer, Clark wrote to State Sen John Kerr of Warren with carbon copies sent to other members of the General Assembly. "This movement to take Negroes in the summer courses at State College is part and . parcel of . the integration program and is just the opening wedge," the newspaper said Clark wrote. "Once they get this crowd hanging around the college they expect to bring in the ounger generation into the various courses at the college, then call for the admittance of every Negro who wishes to come to the Farm and Home Week. ... "At first they will be put in sep erate dormitories and then under protest made by subsidized work- ' ers will ask to be mixed in the various dormitories with the white i farmers. In this way, they hope to bring about complete integration." Clark, a UNC trustee, asked the j recipient of the letter to consult with fellow legislators on what "can ! or should be done" about "this- movement." "State College has been in exis tence now for 65 years and Bostian J is the first head of the institution to make this request. He told the ' execu'ive committee that the Ne groes, 30 or more in number, would stay at Shaw University and would ( not eat or sleep on the camnus. j When asked about the advisability of putting this in the resolution the Visits Carolina egroes Favor Honor Clark Is Against Attend ing State but not other meals, the letter said.

Clark, member of the executive committee of the UNC Board of Trustees, has been prominent in the state press on several occasions, as he has been actively engaged -as a private citizen in a private campaign to uphold the southern tradition of segregation in North Carolina. Nell Battle Lewis, News and Observer writer, quoted a letter from him in her column of Feb. 3, 1952. The quotation from Clark read as follows: "The movement to break down segregation in and around Chapel Hill and bring about amalgamation- of Negroes and whites is highly financed and is locally supported by individuals employed by the Trustees of the University of North Carolina. ... So far. the Execu tive Committee has done nothing to oppose the movement. I will appreciate any suggestions you may have to offer at any time." Heart Drive Underway In Campus Residences The anual Heart Fund Drive got mnderway on the University of North Carolina campus this week with two Greek organizations, Delta Sigma Pi professional and business fraternity, and Alpha Delta Pi, social sorority, as the sponsoring agents.
