"The amendment would be a major step forward in ju dicial reform," legislator George Krichbaum said. "Pas sage will lead to other chang es." Krichbaum, who introduced the resolution in Student Leg islature, discussed the judi cial amendment with Student Body President Bob Powell, Attorney General Frank Hod ges and Arthur Hays. Powell agred with Krich baum that more reform is up coming. He added that the amend ment is "aimed at securing the student's position under the Honor System." The Supreme Court will strengthen the student's rights, he said, by giving him a high er student court to appeal to. "This would make the at torney general and the Honor Councils more aware of the rights of the defendants," Po well said. 6 Santa' Annual NORWOOD, MASS (AP) New England's "fly ing Santa" Edward -iRowe Snow took off today on his 30th annual flight to drop Christmas packages at isolated lighthouses along the northeast coast. Weather permitting, Snow hopes to make 85 drops from Machias,. Maine, to Montauk Point, Long Is land, N. Y. And additional 75 packages will be distributed during brief landings at Rockland and Portland, during brief landings at Rockland and Portland, Maine and Nantucket and Marth's Vineyard Islands during the 1,600 - mile flight. A historian of the New England seacoast, Snow is including a copy of his 50th and latest book, "tales of the sea and shore," in the newspaper - padded bun dles. Flying Santa hears from lighthouse friends weeks afterwards on the accuracy of his "bombing." He always carries a few extra bundles for a se cond attempt when he sees he has missed and the package has been lost in the ocean. "Sometimes it doesn't pay to be too accurate through," Snow says. "One year the keeper of the Ipswich light shouted up to his wife in the tower asking if Santa had dropped his Christmas present. His wife shouted back 'not yet' and just then it crash ed through the skylight." Aside from books, unbreakable items in the pac kages include candy, gum, razor blades, cigars and cigarettes. Where children are known to be at the station Snow adds dolls, junior books and small toys. The only time Snow ever used a helicopter to de liver his Christmas presents was 20 years ago this season. .: I Mailmen Singing Christmas Woes Again f CHICAGO AP) - Henry W. McGee, Chicago's postmaster, leaned back in his chair. His brow was smooth. His coat was opened comfortably. He exuded peace of mind. 'There hasn't been a back log for a long time," he said. Two months ago, to be ex act, Chicago's main post of fice, which ranks itself as the world's largest mail handling facility under one roof, was laboring then to break a log Jam of mail. This city long has been a funnel for mail moving from one geographic area to anoth er. The pattern was based on the nation's railroad sys tem. Chicago is the rail hub. The heavy flow of mail be gan to back up in the fun nel Sept. 18, according to the timetable of William J. Har tigan, Assistant Postmaster General. Government and umon offi cials blamed a complex of circumstances: unusually hea vy pre - Christmas advertis ing material, laxity on the part of supervisors, too much work for the hands available, absences running more than Mai or Overhaul The awareness of the rights of the defendant would put , more work on the attorney general's office, Hodges said. "But, this would make a more efficient judicial sys tem," he said. The Supreme Court, when it hears appeals will decide two points, Arthur Hays pointed out. It will decide if an error of law occurred in the trial; and if the error did occur, was it prejudicial to the defendant. If the court rules in favor of the defendant, the case will be sent back to the court which originally heard the case. Hays said the Supreme Court will have original ju risdiction in two types of cas es: controversy over consti tutionality of a presidential or legislative act and the pow er to interpret and enforce all statutes. "The only satutory law now being enfoced is the election law," he said. "The others are ignored." Powell and Hodges agreed the present members of the Constitutional Council are not now prepared to interpret the election law. "Some members of the coun Begins Flight 1,000 a day in a total work force of 26,000, work (cof-, fee, etc.) breaks that last ed as long as half an hour, cutbacks in overtime. "The crisis is over," Har tigan told a news conference Oct. 18 a day after the Senate confirmed McGree as postmaster. McGee, in an interview, said Chicago has been a redistri bution center for such states, as Iowa, Wisconsin, Indiana, Michigan and California ... "Now," he said, "a good deal of that mail will go di rectly to sectional centers in those states." A network of 552 sectional centers has been developed under the ZIP code program so Chicago doesn't have to sort as much mail as it did. Officials provided an exam ple: a company in Fort Wayne, Inc., addresses a number of catalogues to customers in Pella, Iowa. The shipment is put in a sack marked for the Des Moines sectional center and ZIP coded Pella 50219. The bag moves from Fort Wayne to Chicago by train, is transshipped to a train head cil had never read the elect ion law until several days be fore the hearing this fall," Powell said. The Council members are selected from Men's and Wo men's Honor Council. In the Honor Councils they hear cases totally different from constitutional and statute interpretation.

The contents don't have to be sort ed in the Chicago post of fice. We've tightened up on personnel productions," Mc Gee said. "We've instituted an absentee control program. Employes who have been on an unschduied absence with out permission are interview ed. We've reduced our absen teemism 25 per cent "Supervisors have tighten ed up controls. Work breaks are limited to 10 to 12 min utes." Some overtime is being al lowed, too. Approximately 1,000 tempo rary employes have been hir ed. Special Christmas assist ants are being called in as needed. A sampling of Chicago com panies with large mail vol umes found them generally agreed that service is normal. But the rise of Christmas mail is rising. And McGee and his aides are facing the flood with hopes high and fin gers crossed. 1 r 1 r !. - ' kiaiEib: i !

(AP) Nine educators arrived at East Carolina College Monday and began a four-day study to -learn what , the school needs to become ready for univer sity status. The consultants will remain on the campus through Thurs day, then make a report to the North Carolina Board of Higher Education, which ap pointed them. The report is expected in January or Feb ruary. The state-supported college has been seeking university status, independent of the Con solidated University of North Carolina. The consolidated un iversity consists of four branches, at Chapel Hill, Ra leigh, Greensboro and Char lotte. Dr. Robert W. MacVicar, vice president for academic affairs of Southern Illinois University at Carbondale, is chairman of the study com mittee. He was named chairman after the resignation of Dr. Allen M. Cartter, vice presi dent of the American Council of Education, Cartter resigned when State Sen. Robert Mor gan of LilMngton, chairman of the ECC trustees, said he was V 7 r -, J i ... - CHAPEL HTLL's OWN post office is wrestling with packaged confusion that won't slack off until the end of the week when students go home to plague home town post offices. DTH Photo by Mike MeGowan unsuitable for the job. Morgan based his claim on an article Cartter had written 'stating opposition to convert ing teachers colleges into uni versities. East Carolina was a teachers college until a few years ago. When it is decided that East Carolina is ready to be come a university, the Board of Higher Education itself will make a study to determine whether it should become a separate university or should be made another branch of the current university system. This too will stir controver sy. Dr. Leo W. Jenkins, president of East Carolina, and the school's trustees want it to be a separate university. There is strong opposition to this on the Board of Higher Education. If the Board of Higher Edu cation does not recommend university status for East Carolina, Jenkins has indicat ed the school will take its case directly to the General Assembly. Trustees of the school had requested that the current stu dy be made in time for rec ommendations to be available during the 1967 session of the General Assembly. - -f,. v X 4 1 r i J 1 Ljy Fx , " ' V .Records Given Only By BILL AMLONG DTH News Editor The University next year will send draft boards only that information students want it to, Chancellor J. Carlyle Sit terson revealed Monday. "I've instructed Central Rec ords to report standings and grades only at the request of the student," Sitterson said. "It's not really a change of policy," he said. "What I'm trying to do is to clarify the point." Previously, male students would be given a single form to sign during fall registration. It would authorize Central Records to report both his en rollment and class standing to the draft board. Under the new system a stu- dent will be given two cards to sign one authorizing the University to report his en rollment, the other to report his class standing. Students will then be able to decide whether they want one, both or neither of these things reported. Sitterson directed Central Records Director Raymond Strong to implement the new system in a memo Nov. 4, but said it will have to wait until next year to be put into prac tice. "There's nothing we can do about the students who have already been registered this year," Sitterson said. "There's nothing we can do without con fusing thousands of students and having many drafted by accident." Sitterson said he discussed, the proposal with Consolidated University President William : Friday and the other three CO chancellors at a meeting here last Tuesday. "It's my i understanding that they're all going to do this," he said. Sitterson said that he previ ously did not realize that stu dents had so little choice all or none about what in formation was sent to draft boards. "I've felt all along that an individual should decide wheth er we report his class stand ing. 1 also feel that he should determine whether we report that he's in school or not." There is presently much con fusion among colleges and Fraternities Will Discuss IFC Problems The IFC will sponsor the first of a series of seminars tonight to work together to solve common problems," IFC President Lindsey Freeman said yesterday. The 7:30 meeting in Pea body Hall will focus on alum ni relations. A representative from each of the 24 houses on campus will first hear a keynote ad dress from Hatch Shell, Ra leigh, who has been outstand ing in organizing relations be tween alumni and their fra ternities," according to Free man. The members will break up 1 into three discussion groups to talk over problems com 1; mon to all of the fraternities and to have a sharing of ideas and programs." Shell will lead onp . the others will be headed by William Geer, Di rector of Student Aid, and Tom Bost, Chairman of the Alumni Giving Fund. Assistant Dean of Men Bob Kepner hopes that this pro gram will be continued. "I am very pleased that the IFC is working toward greater communication among the fra ternities," he said. Tentatively, further semi nars include: A discussion of rushing procedures, to be held just before formal rush in Feb ruary. . A pledge training semi nar. , . A discussion of kitchen management. A treasurer's discussion. After OK draft boards, Sitterson said blaming both "a diversity of practices among local boards and a break down in commun ication." "Some local boards will write and ask you for stand ings. Others won't ask for them, but if they don't get them, they draft the student." There is also a wide diversi ty in the way colleges and universities handle the situa tion, he said. Discussing the draft's gen eral effect on students, Sitter son said he was not aware of that much increased pressure on students because of it, but said he really wasn't in the position to know. "Students would be in a bet ter position to answer that than I am," he said. "I've had no comment thus far from faculty members say ing their students were under pressure because of it." Sitterson said the policy of Legislature Will Select Governor WASHINGTON (AP) - The Supreme Court ruled yester day the Georgia Legislature may pick the state's next gov ernor under an 1824 provision of the state constitution. The 5-4 decision, untangl . ing the knotted . election dis pute, very likely means that f e r v e n t segregationist Democrat Lester G. Maddox will take over as governor. The Georgia house, which convenes Jan. 9, is overwhel mingly Democratic and Mad Iox, hailing the high court's ruling, said he has been as sured "I will be Georgia's next governor." However, his Republican op ponwnr, Howard (Bo) Calla- Sitterson Will Meet Affairs Group Today Chancellor J. Carlyle Sit terson, Director of Develop ment Charles Shaffer, and Student Body President Bob Powell will speak today to a group of students who plan to talk with their State Legisla tors about UNC and its rela tionship with the state. The meeting, scheduled for 3:30 p.m. in Graham Memo rial, was arranged by the stu dent government State Af fairs Committee. The Students' visits with their legislators, take place during Christmas vacation, will be primarily concerned with the University's budget request to increase the per unit restriction on residence hall construction allotment and to raise professors' sal aries. The State Affairs Commit tee, in an effort to improve the public image of the Uni versity is currently making speaking engagements with civic clubs throughout the state. The Committee mem bers present a program to each of the clubs, including a slide program, a speech on "The University: What It Is and Where It's Going," and a question and answer period. The Committee has com pleted eleven of these pro grams so far and covered over 2,000 miles within the state. Club members have asked questions about the football team, the Michael Paull case, the Speaker Ban, and the presence of liberals on cam pus. Audiences in eastern North Carolina asked about UNC's policy toward East Carolina College and its quest for University status. Mike Brown, chairman of the Committee, said the "Uni versity's best salesman must be the student." . not releasing information about a student will also ex tend to potential employers. "I've taken this view: that the student's record is his own, and if he wants to use it, he should decide to what agency it should go." Another similar policy dis cussed by the chancellors was the subpoenaing of University records by the House Un American Activities Commit tee (HUAC). "We don't report informa tion to HUAC," Sitterson said. "Thus far, we haven't had any request." "If we do, well go first to President Friday and then we'll examine our legal foot ing." Anyway, Sitterson said, the University doesn't keep records of student groups, the membership lists of which are what HUAC usually subpoenas. "We don't freely give out in formation about students." way, refused to concede de feat. "There is no provision of the United States Constitution or any of its amendments which either expressly or impliedly dictates the method a state must use to select its gover nor," Black said in announc ing the high court's decision. Voting with him were , Jus tices, Tom C. Clark, John M. Harlan, Potter Stewart and Bryon R.
