' By Jim Spence
In an unusually quiet session
last night, the Student Legisla
ture passed a bill creating a spe
cial election for editor of the

plishment of the meeting was
the unanimous passing of a res
olution to the Athletic council
for the reinstatement of boxing
at the University. The resolution
was introduced by Tag Monta
gue;" dubbed by colleagues "the
Happy Legislator."
-. The bill asking for the Oc
tober 14 special election was in
troduced . by Charlie Long,
speaker pro tempore of the Leg
islature. By means of suspension
of. -the rules, a vote was imme
diately taken. The measure was
passed by a vote of twenty to
one.
' t The boxing issue was opened
as Montague read a petition
from" boxers and students of the
University asking for the rein
statement of the ring to inter
collegiate sports here. It was
pointed out by. the petition that
boxing has become more safe
with new developments of pro
tective equipment and that Uni
versity teams . have had a very
'fine standing in the South' for
well over twenty years. The
resolution was passed unani
mously and signed by Jack Fol
ger, speaker of the legislature.
It will now be forwarded to the
Athletic: council for considera
tion.:: -V

Yugoslavian, British Ministers To Talk
Syrian Diplomat Voices Arabian Plea
Voicing a strong plea for the
Arab states against the Zionist
movement, George Tomeh, Sy
rian Charge d'Affaires in Wash
ington, declared here tonight
that "we (Syria, Egypt, Iraq,
Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Trans
jordan and Yemen) have one
binding, lawful and sacred duty:
to defend ourselves against ffll
agression. We ask for no favors
and we desire nothing that is
not ours by birthright. i
"The Zionists are conducting
an aggressive campaign, in fact,
an invasion. For no matter with
what apparel it is clothed, re
ligious, humanitarian, or poli
tical, the Zionist movement for
the posession of Palestine ,is
nothing but an invasion that
aims by force at securing and
dominating a country that lis
not theirs by birthright." -i

Mr. Tomeh was the principal
speaker tonight at the first In
ternational Collegiate Confer
ence being sponsored this week
at the University by the Colleg

In an afternoon dress-rehearsal
for the evening speech, To
meh cross-fired ideas with U.S.
State Department planner Hard
ing Bancroft and New Zealand
Counsellor John Reid at an open
forum. The informal US-UK
block sharply backed the right
of the United Nations to formu
late any final settlement of the
Palestine problem, although
Reid admitted that he was not
yet certain that the proposed
partition was the workable an
swer. Answers Query
Rising to answer a question
from one of the many UNC stu
dents who attended the session,
Bancroft insisted "too little at
tention has been paid to the hu
manitarian aspects of the con
troversy. Certainly we must
think of the plight of the 150,
000 displaced Jews now in Ger
many seeking settlement in
Palestine."
Forum Speaker Goro Deebe of
the Carolina faculty repeatedly
returned to the factor of "sim
ple majority" to support his de
mands that the numerically
greater Arabs be fully consulted
in the solution of the trouble in
the Holy Land.
Mr. Tomeh asserted in the
evening address that the "raison

SIR JOHN MAG O WAN
John Reid Assails
Veto Power in UN
As Undemocratic
"The Security Council veto is
vicious, undemocratic, and lm-
orable John F. Reid, Counsellor
of the New Zealand legislation
in Washington, at the Palestine
forum in Gerrard Hall, yester
day from 2 to 4 o'clock.
However, he warned that re
moving the veto power did not
mean that conflicts would dis
appear, and that an improve
ment must be made and made
soon. This was confirmed by
Harding F. Bancroft, associate
chief, division of International
Security Affairs, of the State de
partment. Mr. Bancroft also
pointed out that the UN ma
chinery was not being used to
its fullest advantage; that if it
were, the veto power might not
have to be changed.
Food Needed
Dr. Sidney B. Smith, visiting
professor from Cambridge uni
versity in England, mentioned
that food is needed in Europe
to insure democracy, and that
hungry people cannot concern
themselves with international
politics.
A possible substitute for the
veto was suggested by Mr. Reid
that a regional veto, based on
wealth, population and other
such factors be worked out.
The Palestine question was
brought into the limelight, as
Goro Deeb, professor here, ask
ed that the Arabs be considered
as a nation, and as natives of
Palestine, who lived there be
fore the Jews and who with the
Jews are no longer a nation. The
Arabs were willing to share in
a solution of the Palestine prob
lem, but not at the expense of
the existence of their land.
George Tomeh, Syrian Charge
D'Affairs, mentioned that the
humanitarian problem had to be
taken into consideration, and
that the solution must be just
to both the Arabs and the Jews.
Lincoln Kan, who opened the
forum brought it to a close, af
ter the last questions had been
asked from the Moor, and pre
sented to the speakers by the
moderator, Randy Mac Leod,
who also introduced the speak
ers. HOUSING READY

The dates for this year's fraternity and sorority photographs
were announced yesterday in a letter sent to eacl, cZ the local
chapters by Yackety-Yack Board of editors, Gene Johnstone,

tained through last year's prac-
tice of taking these pictures to
the various houses, they are to
be taken in Graham Memorial
this year.
Although individual photo
graphs are to be used again this
year, each fraternity has been
asked to come down in a body
on the assigned day. No man
or woman whose class picture
has already been taken need
come, however, as these will al
so be used in the fraternity sec
tion. As an " additional reminder,

fraternity's appointment will
