Opinions Are S DR. HENRY T. CLARK . . . in noc Ml ah r Mi I Woollen Gym. The game will be broadvised by VVTJNC-TV. A Tar Heel victory would put Carolina back into a tie for the top in the red-hot ACC race. The Heels are currently 3-0 in confer ence, while State Colege owns a 4 0 mark. Wake Forest is currently 2-3 in the league, with a 5-0 overall slate. Ia.t Saturday, while Carolina was methodically overpowering Notre Dame in the Charlotte Colli seum, Wake Forest was whipping Clemson 57-47 in Winston-Salem. Deacs Dropped Last Game The Deacs dropped their last contest, Monday night, to Duke's inspired sophomores by the scant margin of 58-57. Duke's John Frye hit a lay-up with 7 seconds left to provide the Devils with the win. Frye's basket offset Char lie Forte's free throw which has put the Deacons ahead. Carolina has leen the ACC's surprise package of the season so far, and the Tar Heel rank third in the nation behind State and Kentucky. Lerest Leads Scoring York larese, the sophomore guard who was out all last season with a knee injury, leads the Car olinians in scoring with a 17.4 average. Larese is second high scorer in the conference, led only by State's John Ricter. Three more Tar Heels are aver aging in double figures: Lee Shaf fer at 14.7, Harvey Salz at 12.8, and Dick Kepley at 12.4. Shaffer was named to the all-Tournament team in the Dixie Classic; Larese was selected on the second team. Wake Forest's slow, deliberate offense is centered around big piv ot man Dave Budd. Budd is cur rently averaging 14.6 per game. George Ritchie is another Deac star, with a flat trajectory Jump shot that goes in more than it doesn't. Pushed Terps Before Losing Wake Forest's best effort of the year so far was in a losing cause, when the pushed defending ACC champ Maryland right down to the wire befofre losing 68 65.

SOFT SOAP , It's easy to acquire a reputation for wisdom just by applauding the opinions of your friends. till Varied evy's Telegram By DEE! DANIELS When the Student Legislature convenes at a special session to night at 7, it will reconsider the Ed Levy (SF-UP) bill to send tele grams to Governors Orval Faubus and J. Lindsay Almond of Arkan sas and Virginia stating the Legis lature's opinion of segregation in the schools. On the agenda again is a bill, introduced by Norman Smith (Ind.), proposing a single spring Legislature election. Concerning the Levy bill, Ralph Cummings, speaker of the Legis lature, said yesterday, "I am not in favor of the bill as it is in the telegram form. While I do feell that the actions of Governors Fau bus and Almond are detrimental to the young people of their state and are a problem that we, as stu dents, sould b concerned about, I do not feel that it is the proper type of business which the Stu dent Legislature should debate. "The Legislature has a limited amount of time, and I felt that it should be fundamentally concern ed with bills which can improve the life of the students on cam pus. If the proper balance can be es tablished whereby the campus is not neglected, this type of debate is healthy and Ktimulating." Don Furtado, student body pres ident, said, "If the bill had not been passed merely because the persons who voted against it be lieved that the schools of Little Rock and Charlottesville should be closed rather than comply with federal court orders, I would not be as disappointed as I am. "In my opinion, however, the majority of those people who vot ed against it professed to believe that the actions of the two states were unjustified. These people qualify their negative statements with the words that" the Legisla ture should not; concern itself with a problem which is not within its jurisdiction. "Monday a foreign student stat ed to me that his greatest concern about the student government at UNC was its unwillingness to con cern itself with international and educational affairs. "It is time that people on this Election Bill To Be Presented In Legislature Concerning the single spring' Legislature election bill to be con sidered by the Student Legislature tonight, Don Furtado and Ralph Coraunings favor it, while Charlie Gray feels it has not received enough publicity yet. Expressing his opinion on the election bill; Cummings asserted. 'I favor a single annual spring election for the Legislature. Under our present system, much valua ble time is lost in reorganization and reorientation. The single elec tion will concentrate the attention of the campus on one election. If all seats are open in the spring, it will enable all candidates to re side on campus long enough to amiliarize themselves with our campus life." Furtado "heartily endorses" the idea of one campus wide spring election. "The single election would al low the initiation of a training pe riod after the actual election, in which old legislators or student government; otiicers would con tinue to function but in which officers-elect would receive the nec essary training which is so ob viously lacking now. Gray doesn't think enough dis cussion has occurred on this bill "Most of the legislators have not considered the pros and cons of a bill that could have a large effec on the campus. My own personal opinion is that the bill creates more disadvantages than advan tages. Two weeks delay to indoc trinate the campus will not harm the bill. Expediency for expedi ency's sake could be harmful." campus stopped patting themselves on the back for their attractive -student community, and began re- i alizing that those principles of : academic freedom and 6tudeiit ' rights, upon which student gov ernment was created, are beic flagrantly violated, not only ii other nations but right here in our own South. 'Those people who say that little good can come from such a con demnation have forgotten "that there are many students in tha high schools of the South who are trying to make a decision as ta what their real beliefs are. J1! think that a statement from a college community such as" ours could do a great deal of good. "Even ignoring that fact, we as students should be loud in ' de nouncing a violation of the educa tional right remembering that when, there is a fire next door the sparks may catch your own -house on fire." On the subject, Charlie Gray, egislator, remarked, "I have ex pressed my views on the Levy bill many times and I hesitate com menting on it again. The vacation has caused the campus to forget the untimely bill and I hate to see it thrust into the headlines again. Even though the bill was defeated, the fact that it was in troduced has already brought many harsh comments directed at the students of UNC. "At times our liberalism causes us to forget the people we havi to live with at home. I am still against the bill and only hope tha t the Legislature will defeat thij move for reconsideration."

YOU GOTTA KNOW THE ROPES It Takes Skill To Ring Dem Bells By RON SHUMATE The tones of "Hark the Sound" rang out through the cold aif just as they ring out every afternoon about 5:45. Just like the mail, the sound of the bells in the Morehead-Patterson Bell Tower here goes through ram, sleet and snow. Harvey H. Miller Jr., master bell- ringer this year, forced his weight down on the last note and turned away. "As long as you know the right technique you don't get tired," be said after his daily workout "I think Carolina is very lucky to have one of the few carillons in the country. As long as you know something about a piano keybard it's not really too difficult to play the carillon," he said, Miller certainly does know some- A UNC sophomore who has been thing about a piano keyboard.

OCCUPATIONAL HAZARDS Miller said he has been bothered slightly at times by wasps hovering over him while he plays. Once he almost choked while playing. "When I first started playing I played with my coat on. Once my coat caught on same of the levers and I almost choked myself." Miller said he plans several pro grams ahead of time and tries to follow them. He tries to play hymns on Sundays and religious holidays. He also tries to play songs appro priate for certain holidays and spe cial days. For instance, he played Navy songs on Navy Day, football songs on days of home football games, and so forth. His all-around favorite is "Ode to Joy" from Bee thoven's' Ninth Symphony. Miller says he always tries to wait until just after the bells have chimed on the quarter-hour before he starts his evening "concert," so he will have almost a full 15 minu tes to play. He can play about three songs in the 15 minutes, "When the chimes are about to ring I try to play in F, because the chimes are in F," he said. He said the bells hj.ve chimed several times while he was playing. BELL TOWER HISTORY The tower, which was donated by and named for John Motley More- head and Rufiis Lenoir Patterson, . was donated t the University in the fall of 193 L. The total cost of the tower was over $100,000. Built of North Carolina brick and ndiana limestone, the tower rises 72 feet and measures 58 feet at its base. The twelve bells have a total weight of over seven tons, and range in size from 300 to 3,500 pounds. They are duplicates of the famous West Point chimes. The four dials of the clock, just below the bell level, face exactly North, South, East and West. The dials, which ire Uluminated at night, are nine feet in diameter. The clock peals the well-known West minster chimej; each quarter on four bells, and strikes the hours on the largest of the group, "The Gov ernor Morehead." The mechanisms for playing the bells, for pealing the quarter hours and for striking the hours are entirely independent. CLOCK OPERATION The clock has. a pendulum escape ment and is operated by three sep arate independent weights: one for keeping time, ose for pealing the quarter hurs and the third for strik ing the hours. The clock is entirely INFIRMARY Students in the Infirmary yes terday were: Patricia Ann Rand, Nancy Jean Robinson, Louise K.

The weights are wound automatically and independ ently by three small motors which come into play and rewind the weights when they reach a prede termined position and trip the elec tric switch. The clock turns on its own lights at dusk and extinguishes them at daybreak. BEARS UNC ASSOCIATES NAMES The names of members of the Morehead and Patterson families who have been associated with the University are inscribed on the bells.
