Brady, dean of women. . i Fleming said during his prepara- t..ry visit to Chapel Hill last month ' that the purpos? of the trip was neither to hasten nor hinder in-' trgraticn at Florida. The group is talking to people on both sides of the racial integra tion issue. Yesterday afternoon they spoke with a group of pro segregation students. One of the students told the group that integration . will come and nothing can be done about it. The student said as long as there are only three Negroes in the Uni versity there won't be any trouble, but if a thousand applied, overt activity on. the part of Jhe. students would take place. Last night three Negro students m3t with the group. Sometime dur-s ing the group's three-day stay ' they will interview student lead ers", graduates who were in the University in 1951 and '52 when the first Negro graduate students were admitted, and Consolidated University President William Fri day. Co-sponsoring the trip is the Florida student government and the YMCA. All Fleming would say about the groiiD's progress yesterday was a closely guarded comment that the people they had talked to were cooperative. Dr. Johnson told the group at lunch yesterday that "American integration in higher education is working smoothly." Budget Is Now Being Prepared The Student Government bud get for 1957-58 is now being prepared, according to John Kerr, treasurer of the student govern ment. Any organization wishing to come under the budget should contact him immediately at Gra ham Memorial.

He went on to say that the Library of Congress and the Harvard Library had a guard at the door of the stacks to check briefcas?s, but the Library here was planning no such action. "The library has three main functions, to acquire books, to preserve the books and to insure the proper use of them. This check ing is part of the . preservation function. We have had some cases in the past where people were in the stacks w ho were not iconnect ed with the University," Cook said.

This is the reason Weatherman Says, Switch To Overcoats Spring has retreated and winter is returning, or so says the Raleigh-Durham Wreather Station. The weather forecast for Friday is not quite the same as the fore casts of the last few days. It's go ing to be cold and cloudy, but something different has been add ed. No rain. A change in air masses has re sulted in lower temperatures and rising winds forecast for Raleigh Durham and vicinity. Average rainfall for February has been exceeded by Yi inch, the bureau said. So hang up the raincoats and take the overcoat back out of moth balls, it's going to be a little chilly around Chapel Hill in the next few days. Legislature Endorses Pay Raise For Faculty By NEIL BASS The Student Legislature last night passed unanimously a resolu tion urging General Assembly pass age of the University administra- tion's proposed ten-percent pay hike in faculty salaries. Student lawmakers, who also stamped approval on a new Elec tions Law, met for three solid hours. Except for sessions devoted to consideration of student govern ment's $100,000-plus budget, this was one of the longest on record. YOUNG'S ADDRESS J Prior to the legislature's ,ap proval of the salary increase f 6r j faculty members, President Bob i Young delivered an address ex plaining what he called a Univer sity "crisis."

Young, urged that legislators and students in general write General Assemblymen and endorse passage of the ten-percent hike in faculty salaries ELECTIONS LAW After more than two hours de liberation, lawmakers approved a newly proposed Elections Laws which incorporated these changes: (1) Elimination of run-offs ex cept in the case of absolute tie votes for student government of ficials except the four major campus-wide officers. Run-offs will be held for these four posts unless candidates receive a majority of ballots caoi. This virtually eliminates run-off elections since only two candidates usually run for. each of the four major campus offices, and cases of absolute tie vote for other of fices are few. 2) Election of all class officers in the fill election except senior clasi officers. CHAPEL HILL, NORTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, MARCH 1, 1957 GJl Board On ae ,CSTi ? --J M: A FINAL Sound And On March By MARY MOORE MASON Do you remember . how much fun 'Sound and Fury' was last year when Pee-Wee Batten and Jack Sponer got lost in the wilds of South America? Even more fun is in store for this spring when 'Sound and Fury' presents "Thieves' Holiday',, . an original student written musical comedy which ha as its setting New Orleans during Mardi Gras. The script has been written, the music has already been tape re corded, and the choreographers are hard at work. But Thieves' Holiday" still lacks something. What is it? It lacks approximately 15 leads, 20 singers and dancers, and 10 to 15 extras, non-singing roIet Sound and Fury needs U.N.C. FOUR ACQUITTED: Three Convicted By Honor Council One student has been convicted of plagiarism and two of cheat ing, according to a report released yesterday by the Men's Honor Council. A sentence ofc probation was handed down in the plagiarism case, and sentences of one-semester suspension in the cheating cases. Four other students accused of cheating were found not guilty by the Honor Council. The report issued by Honor Council Chairman Jim Exum yes terday is as follows: (1) A student pled guilty and wa3 convicted for plagiarism. It was found that he plagiarized on-l ly a small part of a book report which was concerned with giving a biographical sketch of the auth or. He had looked up the mater ial on the author in the library and had copied parts of his ref erences verbatim. The student seemed to be unaware that he would he "fooling" his professor since, he testified, the professor should know that he. the student, did not know anything about the author and would have to look up such information. Practically all of what was , plagiarized was Very condensed statements concerning the author of the book's place and date of birth, colleges attended, etc. v - Because of "the nature of the material plagiarized and the sin cere attitude of the defendent. the Council decided to give a sen tence of probation rather than the normal suspension sentence for COITDO mstf REHEARSAL FOR 'BRIGADOON' ... before opening night Fury Tryouts 5; Characters students to fill these roles. Perhaps a student would like to play Igor, a deposed Russian count and a jewel thief; Marina, his exo tic mistress; or Bhrudah, Igor's Balkan stooge. Then there are other characters juo as interest ing if not as cosmopolitan. There are Jack, Larry, and Betty Ann, three gay college students not so innocently involved in a dia mond robbery, nd Betty Ann's "Auntie" dedicated to putting the damper on anything so vulgar as a jewel thief. And of course, "Thieves' Holiday" wouldn't be complete without "The Incompar able Kalantan", a strip teaser; her manager, Joey Puccini; and the sleuthing . of four of the most bumbling detectives To ever cross I a stage ordinary plagiarism. The sort of material the defendent used would have been difficult to reword, and no important ideas, as such, were stolen. (2) Two students were brought before the Council for possible collaboration on quiz due to cer tain similarities on their papers. The similarities, however, were insufficient to convict the students and both were found not guilty by the Council as they pled. (3) Two students were accused before the Council for possible collaboration on a quiz. Both pled not guilty. After extensive ques tioning by the Council, however, one of the . defendants admitted that near the end of the quiz the other student involved laid his paper down on his desk and he copied one of his answers. It was a pop quiz and the student testi fied he only copied one answer and that the student whose paper he copied knew nothing about this. The student who copied was YW Interviews Interviews for executive of fices in the YWCA have been extended to Monday, March, 4, 2-5 p.m. according to YWCA President Martha Richardson.

Tryouts will be on March 5 from 4 to 6 p.m and from 7 to 9 p.m. in Memorial Hall, accord ing to Nancy Stephens, produc er. Scripts, she said, may be ob tained at the Information Desk in Graham Memorial. But what if an interested stu dent's talent or his s-pirit doesn't: run along the acting or singing. line? What could be more fun than j to work on the New Orleans sets, the lighting, or the gay Mardi Gras costumes. , found guilty and suspended for one full semester. The other student was acquitted. (4) Two students were brought before the Council for possible col laboration on a quiz. Both students pled, not quilty of the charge. Several character and material witnesses were heard in behalf of both defendents.
