'Promotion'
Of UNC 'Need?
Is Discussed
Eight members of the Universi
ty administration discussed fin
ancial needs of UNC Monday
night with a group of students who
will be "promotion" agents during
the Christmas holidays.
Representatives to the General
Assembly of North Carolina will
be contacted during the holidays
by students who will discuss with
the legislators the University's
financial needs.
Monday night the Committee on
State affairs (headed by Norman
Smith) had members of the admin
istration go over technical aspects
of the financial needs, as the A
and B budgets and Capital Im
provements budget.
Cha ellor William B. Aycock
introduced to the group Dr. S, B.
Alexander of the Division of
Health Affairs, who spoke briefly
on division needs.. These needs
were virtually omitted from a
special brochure ("Our Growing
University), which will be given to
General Assembly members by stu
dent workers over the holidays.
Detail of the A and B budgets
were gone into by Dr. James L.
Godfrey, dean of the faculty. A
new students union and allevia
tion of self-liquidation of new
dorms (in the Capital Improve
ments budget) were discussed
briefly by' Fred Weaver, dean of
student affairs

affairs; Dr. Alexander Heard, dean
of the Graduate School; J. A

withholding tax.
In reply to a uestion about se
lection of trustees for the Univer
sity of NoNrth Carolina, Umstead
said he is opposed to a suggestion
that the governor appoint some of
them.
He reaffirmed his position of
two years ago for selection of 100
trustees as follows: seven trustees
from each of North Carolina's Con
gressional districts, to make a total
of 84 from the districts; plus three
each from Orange, Wake and Guil

of each of the institutions in the
Consolidated University; and seven
additional members chosen on

BULLETIN
University Professor Peter A.
Nash was fined $100 ard costs on
two charges of trespassing early
this morning in Chapel Hill Re

of peeping secretly was changed
on motion of the prosecution. The
trial, finally completed at 1 a.m.,

In history here.
WASHINGTON (AP) The Su
preme Court Tuesday agreede to
review the second conviction of
Junius Irving Scales, of North
Carolina, under the membership
clause of the Smith Act aimed at
Communist party activities.
Scale appealed to the high trib
unal after the U. S. Circuit Court
in Richmond upheld his second
conviction in federal court in
Greensboro, N. C. The Circuit
Court affirmed a six-year prison
sentence given Scales.
The Circuit Court said there was
evidence that Scales engaged in
"advocacy of concrete action, as
distinguished from the promulga
tion of a theory" In his support
of the Communist Party.
The Supreme Court in a deci
sion in another case had said the
Smith Act requires more than the
teaching and advicacy of an ab
stract cioctnne tnar. tne govern
ment should be overthrown by
force and violence. There must be
a call to action towiird overthrow,
the court declared.
In appealing to the high court
to overturn the Circuit Cour.t
counsel for Scales contended the
Communist Party membership
clause of the Smith Act is uncon
slitutional on its faoe and as ap
plied to his case.
Scales, first conviction was re
versed by the Supreme Court on
Oct. 14, 1957, because the govern
ment had declined to produce per
tinent statements made by inform
ers to the FBI. Several months
later Congress passed a law pre
scribing the procedure for such
production. The law says the ma
teriality of FBI reports requested
by the defense, f i challenged by
the proscution, .is to be determined
by the trial judge in his chambers.
In the second trial of Scales,
the trial judge withheld portions

The Interf raternity Council
heard a representative of the Pan-
hellenic Council explain the pro
cedures concerning a blood drive
which the two organizations will
conduct in February and March.
Miss Phyllis Wall of Fanhellcnic
explained that it would be neces
sary for minors to get their par
ents' permission. It is planned that
the blood drive will be co-ordinat
ed with some heart operations on
children.
The operations require around
15 pints of blood given no later
than two hours before the opera
tion. The fraternities and sorori
ties will be divided into groups.
Each group will provide the blood
necessary for one child.
It will be necessary for the don
ors to get physical examinations
and have their blood typed prior
to the operations. The blood will
have to be given around 8 p.m.
The IFC voted to hold Greek
Week during the week preceding
the second weekend in March.
After some discussion the IFC de
cided to ask the various chapters
if they would be in favor of hav
ing a concert in conjunction with
Greek Week.
The concert will probably be on

the fraternity pleges.
Tuesday it will recommend the
spending of almost 90 million dol
lars for college capital improve
ments between 1959 and 1969.
The board, holding its December
session here, also said it will recom
mend that state funds rather than
federal funds be used for building
new dormitories and that college
"A" budgets be made more flexible.
The recommendations will be
made in the board's biennial report
to the governor, the general assem
bly and the higher institutions of
learning.
As a spokeman for the group head
ed by D. Hiden Ramsey of Asheville
Maj. L. P. McLendon of Greens
boro said the board will ask that
the "bulk" of the 90 million dollars
be authorized by the first legisla
ture in 1959.
The sooner funds are alloted the
sooner colleges can plan and con
struct necessary buildings, he ex
plained.
In that way, he continued, colleges
will be able to meet students enroll
ment as it increases. The peak en
rollment is expected in 1965, Maj.
McLendon said. .
The board's recommendation to
use state funds instead of federal
funds for construction dormitories
should keep students rents from ris
ing any more and may, in some cas
es, result in lower rents, he said.
The recommendation will specify
that the state pay one-half of all
dormitory construction cos;ts and
put the other half of the costs on
a liquidating basis by applying rents
to costs.
Under the federal act providing
plans for college dormitories all
rents from all dormitories (whether
built with federal money or not)
must be ledged to repay the loan,

IT STILL PAYS TO MAIL EARLY
N. C Mail Service Is Speedy -Usually
By DAN ANDERSON
The Chapel Hill News Leader '
If you send a letter from one
place in North Carolina ot another,
it's likely but not certain to ar
rive the day after you mail it.
That's the main point proved by
a test of Tar Heel postal efficiency
made by The Chapel Hill News
Leader with the help of 25 other
newspapers across the State.
In all, 41 letters were mailed, and
It took them an average of just
above 26 hours to get to a residen
tial address in Chapel Hill.
The longest delivery time was 49
hours 15 minutes for a letter mail
ed at 10:30 a.m. December 11 in
Winston-Salem and received at
11:45 a.m. December 13 in Chapel
Hill. A letter each from Kannapolis
and Henderson tied for the short
est delivery time 17 hours 30 min
utes.
The Winston-Salem laggard led
a list of six 14 per cent that
took two days instead of one to
arrive.
In addition, two mailed in Lum-
berton, and one each from Eliza
beth City, Lenoir and Raleigh, failed
to arrive until the second day after
they were posted. The late one from
Lenoir, though, was mailed on a
Saturday, and Us lateness very like
ly was due to the Sunday mail holi
day before its arrival.
CHRISTMAS QUESTION
It's a question whether the Post
Office can keep up to this mark
when the Christmas rush gets
heavy, and early mailing certainly
would be wise. But the results,
based on deliveries early in the
month, may be taken as typical of
the regular run of the mail.
The News Leader sent envelopes
to the cooperating papers, asking
that they be mailed, with slips inside
to tell when this was done. Ah" were
stamped and clearly addressed to
the home of a News Leader staff
member in Chapel Hill. A residence
address was used so that the re
sults would be like those of most
people's ordinary mail. i
ONCE A DAY
One effect of this, of course, was
to cause seeming delay in some de
liveries. Mail comes once a day,
late in the morning, to the house,
and a letter that reached the Chapel
Hill Post Office at, say, 11 a.m.,
when the carrier was already on
his rounds, had to wait until the
day after. But the point of the sur
vey was to find out how common
mail gets delivered, and the same
thing would happen to any letter.
The second longest a letter took
to arrive was 48 hours; one mailed
at 11:30 a.m. in Lumberton Decem
ber 1 came in to the Chapel Hill mail
box at 11:30 a.m. December 3. The
other Lumberton letter took 43
hours, and latecomers from Eliza
beth City, 43 hours 30 minutes; from
Lenoir 42 hours 30 minutes; from
Raleigh 46 hours 45 minutes. Those
were elapsed times from when en
closed slips said the letter; were
mailed to wbea they were delivered
in Chapel Hill.
Though the Post Office, which en
courages mailing ;arly in the day
as well as early in the season, may
not like this, it didn't seem that a
letter mailed in the morning was
likely to do much better than one
mailed in the afternoon. Several
pairs were mailed and did as well
though one was posted early, the
other later. For instance, one sent
from Hickory at 3:30 a.m. arrived
at 11:30 a.m. the next day, but so
did another mailed from Hickory
at 4:15 p.m. '
WHO'S TO BLAME?
Proof that mail delay isn't always
the fault of the postal service was
found in one enclosed slip; it had
been marked with a certain date,
but that had been crossed out and
another, three days later, was sub
stituted. Without embarrassingly
naming the place where this hap
pened, it still may be said that peo
ple who mail letters may err as
much as the service that carries
them.

Students Picket Hill Hall
Protest Performance Of Bach
By CHARLIE SLOAN
The Music Dept. was picketed
last night by a group of disgrun
tled music lovers.
Yesterday was Beethoven's birth
day. Last night The Chapel Hill
Choral Club presented Bach's
Christmas Oratorio.
A group of students protesting
the playing of Bach on Beethoven's
birthday paraded up and down the
walk in front of Hill Hall display
ing signs saying "UNC Music Dept.
is Unfair to Beethoven," "Go
Home, Bach, Go Home," "Happy
Birthday Beethoven," "Three
Cheers for Ludwig," and, finally,
"Good Grief."
Cortland Edwards, a grad stu
dent in sociology and anthropol
ogy explained, "we just think it's
unfair that on such a" great iron's
birthday they are playing some
one else's music."
Edwards admitted that the idea
for the picket line was inspired
by the comic strip "Peanuts."
The picket line broke up after
the concert started.
