Sonny Evans, president of the student body, who would have been a speaker at the discussion seconded Thomas' decision and stated. "Until a decision is made on the final form of the amend ments to come before the student body, it seems ridiculous to me to enter into any discussions on the amendments. Express Opinion "I am in favor of one Honor Council to try violators of the Honor Code but some decision must be reached on social viola- ; tions which turn into Honor Code cases prior to any open forums or discussions." George Ragsdale, chairman 'of ; the Men's Honor Council, who ; would have been the other speak j er at last night's scheduled debate, made it clear that he did not fa vor postponement. ; "I wish certain people in stu dent government would make up their minds," Ragsdale comment ed. The postponement followed by a day the student legislature's tabling of an amendment to the present Honor Council revision bill. The amendment to the bill was introduced in hopes of clari fying the cases where social rules and the Honor Code are both in volved. Such a case would occur when a coed falsified a sign-out slip, or currently when a male student lies before the Student Council. There was some doubt last night as to whether clarification of these procedures would involve a constitutional amendment. Apologizes Commenting on the postpone ment Thomas said,' 'Speaking on behalf of the Graham Memorial Activities Board, and specifically of the Forum Committee's of GMAB, I want to sincerely apolo gize to the student body and al! concerned for the postponement of the Forum Committee's discussion i which was scheduled in Carroll Hall last night.

Its statement resulted from criticisms voiced at a recent meet ing at Greensboro of trustees of the Consolidated University. One trustee, W. G. Harris Jr. of Ra leigh, said things may have reach ed the point where "either we do not need this Board of Trustees or the Board of Higher Educa tion." He added that "The issue is whether -we run the University or somebody else runs it."

Ragsdale Talks At Debate Meet George Ragsdale, chairman of the Men's Honor Council, last night spoke to a group of 15 people in Carroll Hall who had not been not ified of the postponement of the judiciary amendment debate. Ragsdale said that he had not been notified in time of the post ponement of the debate, and said that he felt that the campus had not been notified in time, and lience that it was his duty to speak.

'Academic Freedom' Resolutions introduced by Roger Foushee (SP) to ratify the U. S. National Student Association's "policy on academic freedom" and declaration ; of the student's rights and responsibility will probably be acted upon. The "Basic Policy Declaration Student Bill of Responsibilities and Rights"' contains a section to keep its profits rather than re turning them to the General Sur plus fund, if the Student Legisla ture passes Pat Adams' (SP) bill.

Commenting on the fact that the other speakers were not present. he felt he could not give his views, in all fairness to the opposition, but that the he would 6e glad to answer any questions. No questions were asked, however. Ragsdale spoke after Benny Thomas apologized for the postpone ment of the debate. He attributed the postponement to the legislature's tabling a bill which would have clarified the bill with regard to soc ial and honor violation which occur together. , Before Thomas turned the meet ing over to Ragsdale, he added there definitely would be a debate before the bill is voted on by the campus. University Club Meets March 18 To Nominate The board said that there is no question "that at the present time the married student housing situ ation at State College is critically acute." But, it added, the "over riding question" is what will be the situation when the units are completed? It added that by the most optimistic estimate the proj ect could not be completed before the 1959 school year. So. it said, "No housing author ized now will be available for the vast majority of married students now enrolled at State College." The board said the critical situ ation for housing of married stu dents results from the presence of many married veteran under graduates who receive government help in attending college. And, it said, "The peak of married vet eran enrollment at State College has probably been reached, even passed." It pointed out that vet erans who entered service after hold Jan- 31, 1955 are not eligible for Tlio T'ninorcitv fMllh will Mamh i federal educational benefits. 18.

Carolina won 17-and lost This Is Big On ' The next three days are the ones that count for Frank McGuire and company. The seasonal records mean nothing now because every thing is riding on the tournament. The Tar Heels ripped through 32 straight last season to capture the national crown. Now they'll have to win the conference meet to jeven off the ground in defending jthat title. I Carolina will be counting heavi ly on its great senior forward from Brooklyn, Pete Brennan. Brennan, top scorer (20.8) and re bounder 12.3 in the conference during the regular season, has been mentioned prominently . in All-American speculation and on his shoulders could ride the for tunes of the Tar Heels during this three-day period. Two Mor Seniors Brennan will be aided by his two senior sidekicks Bobby Cun ningham (5.3) and Tommy Kearns (15.1). Cunningham, probably the best defensive man in the confer ence and Kearns also a candidate for Ail-American mention, were both starters on the National Championship team of 1957-58. McGuire hasn't decided definite ly on his starting lineup but it will come from the three aforemen tioned boys plus sophomores Lee Shaffer (11.8), Harvey Salz (10.7), and Dick Kepley (4.6). Salz is an almost sure starter. Shaffer, a reg ular for most of the season- was benched in the last few games be cause of a scoring slump but Mc Guire stated yesterday that he j might go with Shaffer for "psy 1 chological" reasons since big Lee : has .played so well against Clem ; son this season. Should Shaffer j start, either Kepley or Cunning- ham will be the sixth man.
