A bill advocating full U. S. sup port for President Nasser's drive for Arab unification was passed unani mously with one abstention in a rare moment of agreement among the members of the Society. The presence of several Arab students gr.vc great interest to the debate. Hep. David Matthews introduced the bill, giving a brief summary ol the, events f the past 50 years in the Arab world. He pointed out that President Nasser is llefinitely iinti ccmmunist, although he also speaks ut against imperialism and clon i;ilim. Hep. Stan Black advocated a re examination of U.

Glenn Johnson, who doubted Nasser's good faith with regard to the West. Johason also questioned whether Nasser has. the full support oi" all the Arabs. In reply to Johnson, guest Awni M. Hamad from Jordan affirmed that at least 95 per cent of the Arab people want unification and see Nasser as the only possible source of that unification. He point ed out that religious ties keep Arabs from embracing communism to any great extent. Guest Ali M. Amura, a student from Libya, made it clear that the Arab world in general wants friend ship with Russia and will continue to feel this way unless Russia be comes hostile. The struggle between the forces of imperialism and nationalism was traced briefly by guest Rudolf Zar zar from Jordan. He felt that an understanding of nationalism as a b:.sic force in the area is necessary to any understanding of President Nasser's great popularity. Zarzar emphasized that Arabs be lieve that Nasser is wholly con cerned with the problems of the Arab people as a whole. He is not seeking any personal glorification as such. An analogy between the unifica tion of the Arab states and the uni fication of the United States with the aid of France was brought out by Hep. Ron Pruitt. There were no dissenting votes in either the vote of members present or the vote of all persons in the hall. Under papers, memorials and peti tions, papers by Adlai Stevenson and Cordell Hull on present world problems were read by members of the society. A poem entitled "9:20, Rathskellar, St. Paddy's Day" com posed by one of the members while intoxicated was also read. This is the last issue of The Daily Tar Heel until the spring holiday is over.

Tlif State Supreme Court hand ed down an opinion Wednesday in which it found no error in Cole's conviction in Robeson Superior O-tirt last March. Judge Clawson Williams sentenced the Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard to 18 months to two years in prison. However, another Klansman, James Garland Martin of Reidsvill" was given a new trial. Tried at the .amr time as Cole, Martin was sentenced to 6 to 12 months. A host of Klansmen, led by Cole, assembled at Maxton on the night of Jan. 18, 1053 for a Klan rally. They fled in disorder, how ever, a few minutes after the meet ing started when incensed Indians loosed a barrage of fire from rifles and ihotguns mostly into the air. Associate Justice E. B.

"The handling ot the students' money in the past has been very loose, mainly because the Presi dent of the Student Body has not had an adequate working knowl edge of the financial system," said ; ics. Gray. "As treasurer of the student body this year," he continued, "I have made a serious effort to ob tain a detailed knowledge of all phases of student finance." "I know now the need for some checks and balances system in the spending of students' money." "Student government spends $123,000 annually of the students' money, he explained, and mucn of this money is poorly handled and spent on worthless projects that have no tangible returns for he student body. Gray said that if he were elect ed he plans to make sure the stu dent s money is spent in a way that will truly benefit the entire campus and help promote a more efficient student government.

"Student government must move away from what at times seems to be almost an aura of isolation and r-dedicate itself to the answering of some of the less exciting, yet more vital needs of the students," he said. 1 Smith said that one of the big problems in University residence halls seems to be the evident lack of an individualized, comfortable atmosphere. "One of the major blocks to this goal seems to be lit tle enforcement of reasonably quiet behavior and prevention of destruc tion of property," he said. "I look forward next year to see ing the Dormitory Council Courts in the men's dorms become much more effective in these concerns," he said. "And I would seek to es tablish student security partols or comparable agencies, such as are employed in many other universi- of I ties to keep in hands of responsible students the enforcement which now falls to personnel from the Dean of siuoents omce ana the local police." "Something that would contribute greatly to individual pride in dormi tory rooms would be granting more laititude in altering the surroundings Fraternity Initiates Rep George Watts Hill George Watts Hill Jr., Durham County representative in the Gen eral Assembly, was initiated into Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity last night as an honorary member. Hill is a graduate of the Univer sity and has studied at Princeton. A native of Durham, he is chair man of the House Committee on Higher Education. I can see no objection to allow ing students to paint their own rooms, provided they supply the paint, he continued. "It also seems quite leasable to let masking tape ar;d other harmless adhesives be used on the walls." Smith noted the "perennial lack here of study facilities." "I advo cate the expansion of policy in keep ing several classrooms open for all night study," he said. "Further more, there have been a numner ot vacancies in dormitory rooms." Smith said that by consulting with the Housing Office it may be pos sible to establish quiet, well lighted, furnished study rooms in several of the dormitories. "Fire prevention will continue to be one of my important policies," he said. "I commit myself to action in placing a fire extinquisher on ev ery floor of every dormitory on campus." He said that there should be stu dent volunteer fire brigades estab lished which can be called into service at a moment's notice.

S. bilateral military pacts in the area. The pacts with Turkey, Iran and Pakistan were assailed in an offi cial government statement. The Kremlin called them a hostile act toward the Soviet Union. "Ruling circles of the U. S. A. are acting in this particular case in the dubious role cf an international gen darme against the peoples of east ern countries," said a Radio Mos cow summary ot the statement. It r-ckled : "The U.

A foreign office spokesman an nounced this Wednesday as dip lomats studied signs that Kassem still wants good relations with the western powers. The British view seemed to be that Kassem finally went through the formality of withdrawing from the role of inactive partner in the alliance because of twin pressures from Iraqi Communists and Gamal Abdel Nasser's Arab Nationalists. Moscow has bitterly assailed the alliance since its formation in 11)53 as an aggressive grouping that threatened middle east peace. Nas ser has attacked it as an imperialist device to split off Middle East states from his movement of Arab nationalism. Now the Arab Communists and Arab Nationalists are waging a vord war, each accusing the other of trying to dominate Iraq where British and western capital has a big stake in the oil fields. Iraq's withdrawal from the pact means it no longer is entitled to military help from the other mem bersBritain, Iran, Turkey and Pa kistanin case it is attacked.

HENDERSON, N. C, March 25 W) Things were quiet on picket ines in strike-beset Henderson Wednesday after a night in which more 'blasts of dynamite broke the quiet that has prevailed here since Gov. Hodges intervened personally in strike negotiations. John D. Cooper Jr., president of he Harriet-Henderson Cotton Mills, said that one of the blasts caused minor damage to wooden storage- shipping building at the mills' South Henderson plant. He said a stick of dynamite ap parently was thrown over the mill fence, hit the side of the building and went off on the ground beside it. He said the cost of the damage would not be great. Officers were unable to pin-point the exact lo cation of a blast that went off in North Henderson. The blasts were the first inci dents of violence to occur in Hen- Delta Sigma Pi Slates Award Banquet April Delta Sigma Pi business ad ministration fraternity will hold its Outstanding Young Business man of North Carolina Award bancmet at the Carolina Inn derson since the Governor an nounced Saturday night he was in tervening personally in the hope of negotiating a settlement of the four months old strike. After two days of discussions in the Governor's mansion in Raleigh, the talks were recessed until Fri day. The Governor announced that no agreements had been reached on major issues. The recess was taken in order to give mill officials time to pre pare for a hearing before a Na tional Labor Relations Board ex aminer in Winston-Salem Thurs day. The Textile Workers Union Of American brought charges be fore the NLR.B accusing the com pany of unfair labor practices. Meanwhile, in Washington, AFL CIO President George Meany charg ed that the cotton mill firm had provoked the strike in a deliberate effort to destory the TWUA locals at Henderson. He pledged the AFL CIO's "wholehearted support" of the strikers. Meany asserted that the company was insisting on both a no-strike promise from the union and elimination of an arbitration clause. This combination, he said "could completely wreck the union." When told of Meany's charge, It is not true and we ments, releases, assignments and estate settlements. The gift was made by Mrs. Howard Mitchell and Mrs. C. Harold Waterbury of Chap el Hill, in memory of their father, the late Charles W. Rasey, one time county Recorder of Deeds of Santa Barbara, Calif. Mr. Rasey acquired the documents in the early 1900's. These documents are currently- displayed on the main floor of the Wilson Library and at Manning Hall. Following the display they will be kept in the Rare Book Room of the Wilson Library where they may be used researchers and students of law. Each of the documents is hand written on vellum, a specially treat ed sheepskin. The skillful penman ship of the scriveners who wrote up the texts for the parties to the var ious transactions was paid for by the word. It is thought by some au thorities that this fact may partial ly explain some of the excessive verbiage characteristic of legal do cuments of all kinds, sometimes traditionally followed in the present day. The documents vary in size from the smallest rectaneular sheet tn the largest which are almost three feet square. Writing also varies from fine, closely confined script to fair ly bold individual lettering easily legible. While most of the text is in English, some specimens are whol ly or partly in Latin. Initials are GEN. A. K. KASSEM the government policy has not been changed by Iraq's withdrawal.

The press in the Nasser's United Arab Republic seemed suspicious of Kassem's action. Cairo's Al Shaab said "There is no proof Kassem's withdrawal from the pact aims at leading Iraq to liberate herself from foreign in fluence." The raper said that so long as Kassem is fighling Arab nationalism he is net hurting British imperial ism. Damascus newspapers in the U. A R. Province of Syria said Nasser h.'d forced Kassem to quit the often highly decorated.
