Dulles Hears
Mikoyan
On Berlin
WASHINGTON, W - Russia
Anastas I. Mikoyan and an ailing
Secretary cf State Dulles yesterday
reviewed the Berlin crisis and the
East-West deadlock over ermany's
future.
The tone of their meeting was
described as friendly and frank.
"There will be peace, there will
be peace," said the smiling Mikoyan
as he left the State Department after
a 95-minute talk with Dulles.
Mikoyan ran into hostile demon
strations by Hungarian refugees on
arriving at the State Department
end again when he left. But he ap
peared unruffled.
The 63-year-old Soviet Deputy
Premier told newsmen he will meet
with President Eisenhower In two
weeks to follow up his talk with
Dulles.
The Eisenhower-Mikoyan meeting
will come after a cross-country tour
the old Bolshevik tentatively plans
to begin Wednesday.
James C. Hagerty, white house
press secretary, said Mikoyan prob
ably will confer with Eisenhower
Jan. 19. Dulles will sit in at the
session.
As for Mikoyan's session with
Dulles today, Eisenhower got a tele
phone report on that from Dulles
immediately afterward. The White
House declined to provide any de
tail.
Mikoyan and Dulles, using almost
identical language, agreed their
meeting was very useful. They also
reported matters discussed included
disarmament and Russia's desire for
more trade with the United States
Neither official gave a hint, how
ever, whether Mikoyan brought word

Of New Planetarium Program
"Scouting the Skies," a program
desiened to acquaint Boy, Girl and
CuD with features of astron-
omy necessary to understanding and
advancement, will open at the More
head Planetarium here tonight at
8:30 and continue through Feb. 23.
Every possible advantage the UNC
facilit can offer will directed
toward Scouting during the period.
With the Planetarium instrument,
real motions will be described in
order to clarify misconceptions
which arise from seeing the ap-
a.re.n.
motions in nature. The
brightest stars enhancing the winter
skies over North Carolina will be
located and identified, and many
special devices which clearly demon
strate astronomical phenomena and
which can be made at home will

Sfafe Affairs
Committee
Enacts Plan
A plan designed by the UNC Stu
dents on the Committee on State
Affairs was put into action during
the Christmas holidays.' University
students from . almost all North
Carolina counties contacted county
representatives to the State Legis-
ature to express the financial needs
of the University
Norman Smith, chairman of the
Committee on State Affairs, said
the student work thus far is hav
ing good results, though, he said,
'only a very small number of the
people who were sent to see repre
sentatives have reported.
When asked why ,he feels it the
responsibility of the students to carry
the problem of finance to the peo
pie, Smith replied, "The people in
the South Building work for us. We
are the future tax payers and vot
ers, .people seem to respond Detter
when contacts ere made directly
)y those concerned."
Smith said he feels a program
which benefits the students of the
University should be student inspir
ed.',.-...'
Charles Shaffer, director of deve
'.opement at UNC, said it is too
early to know what the final out

fnmo nr ihp rrrrr5 tf tn stnnrnr 1
will be. He said, "We cannot meas-
.ire. before lhe final results, what
cur efforts 'will produce in dollars

Shaffer said the students who are I
workine on the financial problems
hnniH hp mmnUmented. "I know
many of tnem nave Duraea mid
night ojl working on it," he said.
Shaffer said he had been appoint
ed as a focap point to give all in
formation possible to those concern-.
ed. He said he hoped to work close
to the students. "It is really gratify
ing to see the way the studentts
work," he said.
Students used a special brochure
to assist them in their task of carry
ing the problem to the representa
tives. The brochure, "Our Growing
University," was prepared to out
line all the financial needs at the
University: the A and B budgets and
the capital improvements budget.
Scouts Aim
will, be admitted free with each
10 Scouts in attendance.
Planetarium Manager A. F. Jen
zano said that while the program
is directed to Scouts, it is one for
the entire family "because of the
dawning new age, an age when
mankind instead of windering and
guessing will be able . to travel
to the other planets and examine
them directly."
This age, Jenzano said, belongs
to the youth of today. "They may
become the great explorers of all
time. They study the stars today,
and tomorrow they may visit them.
Who knows? Even adults of today
may go with them."
In addition to the Planetarium
program, visitors may also view
the public exhibitions, whigh in
clude a 12-foot cutaway model of
the Vanguard rocket and the push
button controlled Copernican Or
rery. Others exhibits pertain to
weather, old estronomical instru
ments, archaeology, minerals and
timepieces.

Question
Thinking'
(AP) - University of North
fiby University Chancellor William
B. Aycock to eliminiate the ques
tion from the application blanks.
Since 1949, the question had re
quired job applicants at the Uni
versity at Chapel Hill to state
whether they have ever had any
connection with communism. The
question was not on the applica
tion forms at. the other consolidat-
v ed university units Woman's
College in Greensboro and North
t uaronna Mate in itaieign.
Aycock said in a statement Mon
day "It is wishful thinking to ex
pect a question of this nature to
catch a communist, and the true
effect is to create an unwholesome
backwash."
Since 1941, employes of the
three units o.'c the Consolidated
University have been required to
take an oath of allegiance to the
U. S. Constitution and the State
Constitution.
W. D. Carmiohael Jr., Vice Presi
dent of. the University, said the
question men Jy pui "a One-foot

liar could step over.", i
