Eisenhower Calls For Pressure Has No Choice' 'United Nations' WASHINGTON (AP) Presi dent Eisenhower declared Wednes day night "the United Nations has no choice but to exert pressure upon Israel" to get her troops out of disputed Mid-East areas. Eisenhower thus threw out an apparent hint that the United Sta tes stands ready, if a showdown comes, to support some kind of United Nations sanctions against Lsrael for her failure thus far to heed U.N. demands to withdraw. But the President coupled the hint with a statement that "we still hope" Israel will accept United States assurances and go along with the U.N. demands. Eisenhower spoke out in a half hour radio-television report to the nation on his administration's ef forts so far unavailing to settle the latest Middle East crisis with out sanctions against Lvael. He opened his talk, broadcast world wide by the Voice of Ameri ca, with the solemn statement: ' "The future of the" United Na tions and peace in the Middle East may be at stake. Eisenhower's talk went step by step over the situation as he saw it. In a warning to Israel he said: "The United Nations must not fail. "I believe that in the interests of peace the United Nations has no choice but to exert pressure! upon Israel to comply with the withdrawal resolution. And then he offered the Israeli's , a way out: 1 "Of course, we still hope that the ' government of Israel will see that its best immediate and long term interests lie in compliance with!

RESUME -As a resume of action, last (Semester the council suspended five students from school for a University Says UNC The January issue of the bi monthly University Report, a Uni versity Development Office pub lication, gave "stark warning that the University at Chapel Hill is in danger cf slipping from its high position in comparison 'with other great universities." The publication, devoted to the financial problems of the Univer sity, was issued in coincidence with Mie current meeting of the State Legislature. Devoting its complete four pages to xhe crisis at Carolina, the Re port further stated that "the Uni versity is in danger. Faculty salar ies must beraised if we are to hold, our position in competition with other ranking institutions of higher learning."

Individual cases and verdicts are as follows: (1) Suspension of two students from school for breaking and en tering a student's rooms. and beat ing him.

Y Group Meets Discovering the role of the cam pus leader and attacking the real problems of campus life will ,be the subjects discussed at tonight's 7:30 meeting of the YMCA's new leadership training group for men in the Y's upstairs lounge. Under the direction of Vice Pre sident Roy Taylor, and Membership Cfiairman Larkin Kirkman, the program is directed -at bringing Carolina student.? into the YMCA organization, and training them for campus leadership. Hazardous Surroundings Results O en Coses primand for public drunkness. An official reprimand is placed on the back of an offender's of ficial record in South Building. A council reprimand is not put on the offender's record. Probation penalty entails pro hibition from participation in extra-curricular activities. Reason for disparity in pena lities between the two public drunkeness violations was the dif ferent circumstances the cases were couched in One violater was disturbing the peace, while one was merely sleep ing off a drunk.

The week will culminate on Fri After Current Semester s By CLARKE JONES All two-story housing units in Victory Village will be discontinued alter the current, semester, according to an announcement Monday by UXC Chancellor Robert P. House. House's announcement followed a recommendation Feb. 8 by the Stajc Insurance Dept. in Raleigh that the two-story units be discontinued "in the immediate future" because ol their "hazardous" nature. The Insurance dept., after making an inspection of the Victory -Village facilities, made its recommendation in a letter to University Business Manager Claude l eague. House, in a letter to Consolidated University President William C. Friday, said "What we really need is to begin tearing down the two-story structures and to begin some sort of permanent construction." He mentioned in the letter to Friday the "way has been opened for an approach io the General Assembly on quarters for the married students."

Light Docket To Face Student Solons Tonight By NEIL BASS After a top-heavy agenda last week, the Legislature convenes to night with a somewrhat lighter docket confronting it. Lawmakers meet on the fourth floor of New East at 7:30. Four measures are slated to come up for vote tonight, com pared to seven billo- last week. FAVORABLE RESPONSE Of the four measures, two ap pear certain to meet favorable re sponse from legislators. One of these, introduced by Whit Whitfield, Student Party, j calls for an investigation of wages and working conditions for stu dents employed by Lenoir Hall, The bill will establish a. com mittee to confer with Lenoir Hall officials if it is passed. The com mittee must report its findings to The one-story apartments are tint en hn7rHniis no thp twn-storv hfmses according t0 the dept., but &im haye SQms danger . House indicated the one-story units will not be affected immedi ately and said he did not believe "they are arty more dangerous than the usual type of one-story wooden construction." Concerning this.- the dept. said "Since a portion of the multiple family apartments are of frame construction and have individual heat units, naturally a certain dan ger does exist. Circulated ' James Wadsworth, 20 per cent of the total UNC enrollment is made j up of married students. In a letter '. to the UNC Trustees visiting Corn- mittee, Wadsworth stated that he was submitting plans for the con struction of 200 additional units for married students. Student Pays Heavily For Big Weekend The Mardi Gras weekend proved to be more expensive for UNC senior Shelton W. Henderson of Lynchburg than for most other UNC studonts. . i The weekend cost Henderson a total of $213.00, not counting other expenses, when he was found guilty of six charges in Recorder's ' Court this Tuesday. j Henderson was arrested by a I highway patrolman Saturday night, j The six charges on which he was found guilty are: j Maiicicus, damage to property ' (S7.80), speeding XS38.30), driv-! ing while intoxicated (SI 18.90). ! disregarding signals ($33.30), i 1 - legal possession of whiskey ($7 80), and disorderly conduct ($7 80). the Legislature three weeks after bill passage. The other measure is a resolution asking that freshmen and sopho more nurses be allowed the same curfew houri- as other University Women students. A routine bill on the legislative agenda calls for a $10 appropria tion to the legislature Rules Com mittee to defray supply expenses. The final measure on tap fori student representatives is a reso lution discouraging student organ izations from overspending their allotted budgets. A bill passed during last year's legislative assembly calls for prosecution by s student govern ment's attorney-general of organ izations which spend more money than is appropriated by the stu dent legislature. Use: "Others of the apartments have a central boiler room which feeds hot air heat to eight unit dormi tories on either side. It was a fac ility such as this in which a re cent fire occurred in Victory Vil lage causing a considerable smoke damage. "This dept. recommends that the immediate planning of the University be to install smoke de tectors in the hot air system of this type of dormitory with dam pers so that a loss such as this (See CONDEMNATION, Page 3) c Summer School gistration Slated June 6 i Registration for the iirst term of the 1937 summer school ses sion at UNC will be held Thurs day June 6.

Bill Downed For World Government A bill calling for the establish ment by 1965 of a world socialist ic government, with its capital in Denver Colorado, was defeated by a 4-3 vote of the members pres ent, at what Phi Critic Duvall termed one of the year's most spirited meetings, Tuesday night. In the absence of a quorum the assemblage moved into a commit tee of the whole and began debate of the bill. The first affirmative speaker. Representative John Brooks, began the discussion by praising the proposed social struc ture as a solution to the poverty of, many of the world's peoples, as such a socialistic government would provide for a more even distribution of world resources. Representative Mathews counter ed by stating that such a gov ernment would be detrimental to popular initiative, in which view he was supported by Representa tive Charles Howerton. Representative Jacobs aided the negative cause by recalling Amer ica's Icng fight for freedom and sovereignty, which he said would be sacrificed by the enactiment of this bill. Representative Pruitt urged the bill's passage as the only way to insure world cooperation and brin an end to the present arms race.
