By AL RESCH
Don Furtado, president of the student body. Friday stated that ho
was pleased with the Student Legislature's passing of a resolution in
opposition to the new Women's Residence Council rules.
The resolution put the Student Legislature on record as being op
posed to any rules which apply only to freshman women but not to all
Carolina Coeds. It was passed by a veto of 28 to 9,
"Though a resolution carries no official weight but only expresses
opinion of the group. I am pleased to see that the Legislature recog
nizes the inapprcpiiatcncss of the WRC proposals." said President
Furtado.
He added that it was his hope that the WRC would take this state
ment of opinion into consideration when discussing the rules again.
In commenting on an editorial at?nint the presence of a member
of the Dean of Women's Office on j
the WRC. Furtado said. "It haS
been said by those who favor tho
inclusion of this representative that
it is done in order that the WRC,
may know the feelings of tho j
Dean's Office before any measure
is passed.
"If we are going to take this i
viewpoint, then we should include!
will I on the council representatives from i
the Dean -of Student Affairs' . Of-j
ficc and the Student Legislature,1
for both of these can review ac
tions of the WRC." j

He stated that the inclusion of
an administrative official on a stu
dent policy making body was unde
sirable and not in keeping with the
tradition of student freedom and
independent government at Caro-

Tuesday at 7 p.m. in the Roland
Lounge of Graham Memirial.
Rules to be discussed include dorm closing
lours, supervised studv and lights-out hours.
Housing of freshman women in the new
wing of Spencer will also he discussed.
According to Lillian Shannonhouse, chair
man of the WRC, "The council will endeavor
to explain the new rules to the student body
in the meeting."
The new rules grew out of a concern for
all freshman women by the Women's Resi
dence Council. They were drafted after ap
proval by the WRC, the School of Nursing
and the Dean of Women.
In the past freshman women have lived
on the University campus, but not. in great
enough numbers to warrro-.u special rules.
With thd expected addition of "o women in
the University next fall, the WRC took ac
tion toward the new rules.
The decision, which reversed a previous de
cision by the council that they not allow op
position points of view to come before the
council, lol'.owed a meeting of the Council
Thursday alternon.
The new rules are presently being recon
sidered bv the Council, and will not be final
until alter the Tuesday meeting.
Officials said that the discussion will be
open to ail interested people on campus.

The mansions just over the hill-
top will be ready for students nexl
j fall. The three new UNC dorms
j will open their doors to more than
COO students.

"palaces" wilf be able to appre
ciate the view from verandas that
run the length of each floor.
Much of the noise that is found
in the dorms now in use will be
cut down in the new dorms. There
will be no inside halls. A porch
will run the length of each floor
and the eight and nine men cubi-

The cubicles are spacious ac

The Dialectic Senate overwhel
mingly defeated a resolution to
abolish the NAACP in North Car
olina Tuesday night.
Senators Gary Greer and Lar
ry Good advocated the bill by ad
opting the view that the NAACP
hai been a disturbing factor in
peaceful integration, and wa.s not
favored by political leader in
thii state.
The remainder of the bidy and
two guests hit the resolution with
cries of "prejudice, unconstitu
tional ychavior, and deprivation of
human rights." The negative sen
ators in their attack of the rc
flutian pointed out that state
political iealers were expressing
prejudice, and that by denying
the NAACP the right to function,
the state would in reality be deny
ing the organization of legal free
expression and the right of as-cmbly.
