"The meters axe expected to
cost around ( $80 each," the un
identified alderman said. The
city has insufficient funds at
present to purchase the number
required, arid (will obtain them
on a pay-fts-you-go" basis,
splitting income from meters be
tween the ? manufacturer and
maintenance costs.
The alderman said that an
other officer would be added to
the city police force and assign
ed to full-time duty checking,
collecting, and maintaining the
meters.

; we will net little if anything
from the meters," he said.
In a report issued last week,
i the three-m,an committee of the
board of aldermen recommend
ed six steps., as a partial solution
to Chapel Hill's traffic problem:
(1) Installation of parking
meters on Columbia street and
Franklin street through the con-
. gested business district.
&). .Prohibition of overnight
parking in the meter zones
(3) Limiting parking to one
I side, only on-ten. narrow,, streets.
d) Prohibiting parking of
heavy trucks and trailers from
I 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. anywhere with
in the city limits.
(5) Cutting the parking areas
allotted to? taxi companies op
erating from Chapel Hill. The
larger cab company would be
assigned four spaces, the others
two. - '
(6) A special stop-light at
Henderson and Franklin streets
(Post office corner) which would
allow U-turns.
Action on the committee's
recommendations is scheduled
immediately following a public j
hearing qn the proposals Mon-1
But the meter plan is expect
ed to receive the support of most
Chapel Hill merchants since !t
is believed installation will
speed turnover of cars in the
business zone.

Journalists on Campus Differ on Plan
To TaJce Editorship Away from Politics
- The Di jsenate's action Wednesday rejecting a change in the
method of selecting publications editors has provoked a varied
reaction aiinong campus journalists.
The Dtily Tar Heel and its
editors Have maintained their
stand urging naming of editors
by the publications board rath
er than by general campus elec
tion, but the staffs of other pub
lications yesterday supported
the Di Senate vote in favor of
general election of editors.
In a statement issued last
night, DTH'Editor Barron Mills
declared,. "Under the present
system of electing editors there
is no asrtfrrance of getting the
best qualified man to do the
job unless you orient each
member pf the student body.
The Publications board during
the course of the year meets
every problem of the publica
tions. They know the type of in
dividual best suited to edit a
publication, and are therefore
qualified to elect editors at the
end of the school ' year."
Concurring with Mills, for
mer DTH Managing Editor Earl
Heffner, how a Charlotte Ob
server staff writer, said, "So
long as the Daily Tar Heel must
remain the choicest morsel of
the spoils system, the newspa
per cannot be a free publica
tion to inform and represent the
student body."
Hodgson Hits Board
Tookie I Hodgson, editor of
Tarnatioh, took a sharply dis
Eenting stand on the proposal,
describing the Publications

board will be Roberta Stirling,
secretary-general of state divi
sion of CCUN.
board as being "as full of poli
ticians as Tammany hall on Sat
urday night."
"A shift from student voting
to the PU Board and legislature
would be transferring the mat
ter from a political frying pan
into the political fire," Hodgson
charged.
Jacobson Concurs
Mag Editor Fred Jacobson
concurred with Hodgson and the
Di action. "It's extremely diffi
cult to divorce politics from
journalism," Jacobson declared?
"what good, for example, is an
editorial page if it doesn't rep
resent a definite opinion."
"I don't recommend any
rhanee in the procedure of
naming publications editors,
the Mag editor said.
A milder dissent was scored
by Gene Johnstone, member of
the Yack editorial board. "The
yearbook editor might best be
appointed by a board of stu
dents and faculty members who
have worked with publications
long enough to know what the
set-up is," Johnstone decUred,
but I believe the other editors
should be elected by the stu
dent body."
Johnstone pointed out that 'if

now, chances are that whatever
party elects a board majority
will name its own."
YMC A Members

Yesterday, Coach Crowell
Little, who scouted the In
dians last week, offered this
suggestion to the student
body: "The boys on the team
know they have yet to play
the best football of which
they are capable. For the past
two weeks everyone from the
oldest alumnus to the young
est freshman has let them
know it. The boys are determ
ined to prove themselves this
student government
erates under.
Seventeen Districts
The bill which was referred
to committee, would provide for
17 voting districts two dorm
women's, one town women's,
five dorm men's, and nine town
men's to replace the four dis
tricts established by the student
constitution, one dorm and town
district each for men and wom
en.
According to Long, "The bill
is designed to correct faults of
the representation, where legis
lators are from a vague consti
tuency and cannot act in the
interests of all factions on cam
pus.
Break Party Lines
"Further, it is hoped that this
bill, by giving legislators a dis
tinct constituency, will help to
break up party line voting in
the Legislature."
Tag Montague, UP town rep
resentative, said of the bill, "It
adds a great many unnecessary
complications to the form of stu
dent government, whereas sim
plicity is the essence of sound
government."
