The Chapel Hill Board of Al
dermen deferred action Tuesday
night on the proposed plan for
putting parking meters on Colum
bia St. and on Franklin St. from
the Post Office to the ATO house.
The proposal would also in
stitute parellel parking in those
areas on these streets which do
not already have parellel park

parking meters on the central
business, district of Chapel Hill.
The new proposal, according
to the Board of Aldermen, is de
signed to eliminate the congested
traffic area around the center of
.town. The plan was submitted to
the Board by the town planning
board prior to the May meeting
of the Board of Aldermen. The
aldermen tentatively passed on
the proposal at the May meeting,
but voted to reconsider after stu
dents decried the proposal as be

The proposal would take away

LSU Vs.
By PETER B. YOUNG
Radical segregationists, of the
Louisiana Legislature this week
initiated a sudden probe of the
Louisiana Stale University facul y
in order to determine to what ex
tent Communists have "penetrated
into the LSU faculty and adminis
tration." This transparent maneuver was
Hie response of &n angered Leg
islature to a iKMition, signed by
(i LSU facul '.y members, opposing
the latest patr.a'4c of segregation
' legislation ..which would give the
Elate of Louisiana authority to
cloo all public schools.
The peti'ion signers were led by
Professor Waldo F. McNeir of
t lie LSU English Department, and
chairman, of the Baton Rouge
chapter of the American Civil Lib
erties Union. McVfeir received
the M.A. degree at UNC in 1932
and the Ph.D. at UNC in 1940.
In addition to the petition, Char
les A. Reynard, a leading consti
tutional law expert and a .mem
ber of th LSU law -faculty, pre
sented a brief to the Legislature
strongly critical of the. proposed
legislation.
Reynard and McNeir both testi
fied on Monday before the Louisi
UNC Chorus
Due to an apparent conflict with
weekend plans, the rehearsals for
the Summer Session Chorus will
be held on Tuesdays and Thurs-d-
ys at Lot) in Hill Hell, instead
of Tuesdays and Fridays as pre
viously an-iounced.
-All "itudtn's and facul' y are
invited to sing wi h the chorus,
which will Dresent two programs
during the two summer sissions

Willi"m SciSser, gradaate stuclcnt
ia the M is'.c Department. The
,first concert, scheduled for the
evening of July 8, will be prepar
ed during the first session. -
It is therefore important that
f.ll interested. students get into re
hearsals a? early as possible in
t..e session. , -
parking meters where there are
currently rtone.
Student Body President Don
Furtado, at the time, said that
the students would boycott the
downtown merchants if the pro
posal went through without con
sultation with the students
An cpen hearing with the Mer
chants' Association was held, and
Furtado submitted a list of rec
ommendations to the Board of
Aldermen. Included in this list
was a measure for delay of final
action on the meters until the
fall 'session started, and a pro
posal for a committee of mer
chants, students, aldermen, and
University officials to study the
problem.
Summer School Student Body
President Curtis Gans Monday
set up an emergency parking
committee to study the problem
before it comes before the Board
of Aldermen in July. Gans ap
pointed Sonny Kincey to head
-the committee which will make
a thorough study of the problem
State Legislature
ana House Education Commitee.
The shock of "respectable" U.e.
white) opposition to any legisla
tion bearing the segregation tag
proved too much for the lawmak
ers. They immediately ordered
LSU President Trey Middleton and
nine academic cleans to appear
before ;he full House to answer
questions relative to "subversive
activities" on the part of faculty
and administration personnel.
AT PRESS TIME: The Legis
lature, after hearing President
Middleton defend himself, re
cessed after announcing that
each of the 66 faculty signers
would be subpoenaed to testify
next week at night committee
sessions. The 66 are also re
quired to fill out special ques
tionnaires for the benefit of
the lawmakers.
Shortly :( ter this initial response
members of the Legislature real
ized what kind of pandemonium
was po'sible. Oae representative

RUSSIAN EDITORS ANSWER QUESTIONS One of the
events attended last week by the Russian editors was this press
conference held on the UNC campus. Questions ranged from vodka
to the Hungarian Revolution and were-answered rapidly by the
foreign newspapermen. The Russfans appeared here -under th
auspices of the National Students Association and were accom
panied by an interpreter.
and issue a report to the Aldcr
1 men.
Gans said of the meter pro
posal, "This proposal is indicative
of the lack of coordination be
tween students and townspeople,
which has existed in Chapel Hill
for a long time.
"It is hoped that this particular
problem can be solved and a suit
able comprimise can be reached.
It is also hoped that in the future
students will be allowed to par
ticipate more fully in town activ
ities both through the planning
board and through the Merchants'
Association.
"In this way the students would
not view the town as a bunch of
money grabbers, and the town
might be able to realize that the
students can play an active and
effective part in town progress,
Students, after all, make up a
large part of the town's liveli
hood." Gans offered the services of
the committee on parking to the
Board of Aldermen at the meet
mg Tuesday night.
CHAPEL HILL, NORTH 'CAROLINA,
. mony from the LSU officials on
Wednesday. At press time for the
Tarheel, confusion still reigned
along the bayou.
Tuesday night, this
reporter
contacted Professor McNeir on the
j telephone! -'Askt-jr Tf the 66 faculty
; petition signers
had arranged for
legal counsel. McNeir laughed and
said it was unnecessary. '"Our
administration is firmly commit-
ted to the principle of academic I
freedom. Our Administrative
Council met today (Tuesday) and 1
unanimously decided to suppoit ,
our right of petition. And they aie
well aware that the American
Civil Liberties Union i.j net on the
U. S. Attorney General's list of
'subversive' organizations."
McNeii: also emphasized that,
had the petition campaign not
been so haphazardly organized,
many m'tre than 6fi faculty mem
bers would have been happy to
sign.
In the background ot this new
Southern crisis is the driving poli
tical ambition of State Senator W.

the Legislature' joint commi'.tee
