NAMED I CONFERENCE' I BASKETBALL I TOURNAMENT CHAMPS Vol. LIV Lo wen stein To Speak Tonight GREENSBORO -- Democrat Rep. A 1 Lowenstein of New York, a chief spokesman for the new generation of Congressmen, will speak at 8 p.m. tonight in Dana Auditorium. The public is invited without admission charge to hear him speak. He led the movement in 1967 and 1968 to prevent Pres ident Johnson's renomination. Currently, Lowenstein is a leader in a bipartisan move ment to change House of Rep resentative rules in order to wrest control from "a small circle of elderly men" and to "democratize and modernize congressional procedures." It was Lowenstein's campaign to stop the war in Vietnam which led him to run for the House from New York's Fifth Con gressional District. ANTI-WAR MOVE He did not consider running for Congress until he decided that serving in the House would be an additional contribution to the anti-war movement. He was sworn in as a member of the 91st Congress Jan. 3, 1969. After receiving his law de gree from Yale in 1954, Lowen stein served two years in the Army and, in 1959, worked as foreign policy assistant to Hu bert Humphrey when the former Vice President was a senator from Minnesota. In 1967 and 1968, in trying to block President Johnson's re nomination, he first urged Sen. Robert F. Kennedy to oppose Johnson and then, when Kennedy hesitated, urged Sen. Eugene J. McCarthy to take on the task. Author of "Brutal Mandate" in 1962, Lowenstein practiced law briefly in New York and taught law at Stanford Univer sity, N.C. State University and the City College of New York. h| vfwg \3S7 ' Hfeh ' AL LOWENSTEIN, D-N.Y. FRESHMAN CONGRESSMAN, WHO WILL SPEAK IN DANA AUDITORIUM TONIGHT AT 8 P.M. The Quilfor&cw Open Hearings This Week New Concept; 'Units Of Living' The Student Legislature's Unit of Living Committee has re leased a report outlining a new procedure for the formulation and enforcement of Guilford Col lege social rules.

Considers Meal Revisions The cafeteria committee re port given by Dale Mandel at Student Legislature last Monday showed that results of a survey given out in the dorms showed that a slight margin of students favor a change in the Sunday meal schedule. Out of a total of 390 re spondents, 43% favored a hot breakfast, hot lunch and a pre mium evening meal. 30% favored the present schedule and 27% favored a return to a schedule of hot breakfast, premium lunch, and hot supper. The validity of the survey was questioned, however, and it will be retaken in the cafeteria. Mandel went on to report that the milk machines will be im proved, larger seconds will be served, and the cafeteria will open at 4:30 instead of 4:45 for the evening meal. The report included the al legation that the privilege of smoking is being abused in the cafeteria. Instead of re stricting their smoking to the west side, students are re portedly smoking on both sides. NO SMOKING SIGNS The legislature decided to place "no smoking" signs on the west side of the cafeteria and asked its members to Monday, March 2, 1970 Tuesday and Thursday nights this week in the Union Lounge. Craig Chapman, chairman of the committee, said that he hopes "as many students and faculty members as possible will attend the meetings and offer sugges tions for improving the pro posal." remind students of the smoking rule.
