Law School Results of a poll of the Univer sity Law School, conducted by the Durham Morning Herald, show that 59 per cent of those participating in the survey favor the admission of Negroes to the Law School as day students. Of the 71 favoring day students, 46 said they favor the admission of Negroes either as day or full time students, while the remain ing 25 qualified their answers with the stipulation that Negroes be admitted as day students only. 44 Vote Against Of the 119 students polled, 44 were agains't admission of Ne groes, either as day students or full-time students. Four of the 119 made no comment. There are 274 students enrolled in the Uni- versity Law School according to the student directory. The poll grew out of a recent ! news story, released in The Daily j Tar Heel, concerning two law stu-' Elections Committee Approves New Measure Calls For Five Districts For Town Students The Elections committee of the Student Legislature got down to business yesterday afternoon and emerged with a new redisrict ing bill all packaged up for pres entation to the Legislature in its Thursday night session. In the last of a series of open hearings on the subject the group finally chose a measure calling for five separate districts for male voters living in town. The pro posal was drawn up by Joe Leary, chairman of the committee, and Al Lowenstein. The five-district move is sub stantially the same as the Uni versity party four-unit measure, except that Carrboro has been set aside as a separate district, on the condition that at least 100 men students are living there when elections roll around next year. Other outlying districts, in cluding Burlington, Graham and Greensboro, are to remain in town district 3, which takes in the northwestern section of Chap el Hill north of Cameron avenue and west of Old Fraternity row, with the exception of those liv ing north of Franklin street and east of North Columbia (dis trict 4) and those living in houses facing Cameron avenue (district 2). District 1 in town remains the same Victory Village and Pittsboro road trailer camp. Another decision made by the Elections committee yesterday di vided the women's dorm district along geographical lines to place Alderman, Kenan and Mclver into district 1 and Carr Spencer, Smith and Archer house into district 2. Two redistricting bills killed ir committee were Gran Childress'i six-district measure and Lindsaj Tate's nine-district proposal. The bill will be the second to come onto the Legislature floor this year for consideration. The last one passed during the win ter quarter, but was vetoed by President Tom Eller. A similar action took place during the spring quarter of last year, when President Dewey Dorsett vetoed a Legislature-approved bill just two weeks before spring general elections. SP CAUCUS A meeting of all Student party legislators will be held this af ternoon at 4 o'clock in Roland Parker lounge No. 2 of Graham Memorial. Approves Negroes As Day Students Poll Conducted by Durham Herald Reveals 59 Per Cent Favor Move dents of North Carolina college who have filed applications for admission here. Non-Admission Understood Walter Carroll, reporter for the Durham Morning Herald and conductor of the poll, reported that before the poll was conduct ed it was understood that Ne groes could not be admitted to the University without proper action on the part of the State Legislature, and it also was un derstood that in the event the poll was conducted, the results would not necessarily reflect the atti tude of the entire student body. The questions, addressed in dividually were, "Would you ac cept as a fellow student an. ade quately qualified Negro resident Dance Friday To Be in Honor Of CCUN Meet Roy Cole and his orchestra will provide music for a dance Friday night in the main lounge of Gra ham Memorial in honor of dele gates and speakers attending the International conference of the CCUN there Friday and Satur day. Sponsored by Graham Memor ial, the dance will be free to the entire student body, form of dress is optional. The dance is scheduled from 9 to 1 o'clock. Cole's orchestra has played for many student functions, as well as engagements throughout North Carolina and neighboring states. The group has also made several recordings of Carolina songs and popular arrangements. During intermission a receiving line will be formed to give stu dents, whether they are attending the conference or not, an opportu nity to meet the speakers and of ficers of the conference. Principal speakers will be Lt. Col. A. L. Cox, from the office of Air Secretary Symington in Washington; Dr. Jan-Albert Goris, high commissioner of information for Belgium in this hemisphere; and Harding F. Bancroft, asso ciate chief of the division of In ternational Security Affairs of the U. S. State Department. Representatives from five state districts will attend the confer ence to make plans for CCUN activities during the coming year and for the New York Intercol legiate Institute of the United Nations in June. Town Men's Group Slates Election The, re-organized Town Men's association will meet at 4:30 this afternoon in Roland Parker lounge 1 of Graham Memorial to elect officers, pass on a constitu tion and' by-laws, and plan a party for all members, according to John Van Hecke, spokesman for the organization. "All students who live off the campus, and do not live in fra ternity houses are invited to join the association," Van Hecke stated yesterday. "We welcome all fraternity men as long as they do not reside in their respective houses," he continued. of this State if he applied and was accepted for entrance to the University of North Carolina Law School as a Day Student? (One who would not necessarily eat or sleep on the campus.)" Essay Question The second question was the same as applied to a full time student. The third, an essay ques tion, read, "Do you feel that North Carolina is ready to eli minate segregation in its educa tional institutions? Do you think the University of North Carolina should take the first step?" A preface to the questionaire informed students that the poll was not prompted by any politi cal group and would not be used for purposes of propaganda. lofhing Drive Continues; RL Sponsoring Project Posters and signs bearing the slogan "If You Care, Share" dot the campus today as the CRIL sponsored clothing drive for over seas relief goes into its fourth day. Large boxes have been placed in all dorms, sorority and frater nity houses for collection pur poses, and room to room canvass ing is being carried out by dorm solicitors. Charlie Enman, chairman of the drive on campus, said yester day that it was hoped the cam paign would bring in nearly half a car-load of much needed clothing, bedding, shoes and other articles scarce in Europe. ' A similar drive was held by CRIL the last of January in which over one-fourth of a car load was collected by the town and University, the majority be ing from the latter. Collection boxes will be picked up next Monday and the clothing carried to one of the local churches for packing. All clothing collected throughout the country will be sent to Church World Groves Group Talks About Kinsey Report The famous Kinsey report, .pattern. The big hullabaloo being "The Sexual Behavior of the Hu- made over the report," he said, man Male," came in for a spirit- "shows the need for bringing the ed discussion here last night when delegates to the 11th Groves L-onierence on ine uonservauon of Marriage and the Family join ed in a roundtable on the impli cations of the report in social research and welfare. The session was led by Dr. Paul W. Shank weiler of the University of Mary land Department of Sociology. General concensus was that, ! although the Kinsey report fellitoday Wl11 move to Worth Caro down in a number of aspects, in cluding loopholes in analysis of data collected and in the selection of interviewers, the report and Dr. Kinsey's subsequent reports offer a challenge to social work ers, counsellors and others who deal with human problems. Dr. Shankweiler said that, re gardless of any criticism from any quarter of the Kinsey report, "it is a worthwhile work if for no other reason but that it shows us the futility of legal and moral codes regimenting people in one On the even of the date of the first collection, Carroll was in formed that the ballot box had disappeared. It is not known who took the box. When the sec ond poll was conducted last week, the ballot box was locked in an office at night and during the lunch period. At the time of the second col lection six students had not open ed their ballots. Two were taking bar examinations in South Caro lina, two had graduated; three had withdrawn from the law school and quite a few others did not answer because they had de voted considerable time on the first ballot and did not want to take part in it a second time. Essays Express Views One student said, "I wrote you a 45-minute essay on the first go round, but I didn't care to the second time." According to Car (See DURHAM, page 4) . Service headquarters in New Winsor, Maryland and from there articles will be shipped to Germany, Austria. Italy, Greece, Finland, Poland, China and Japan. Distribution will be strictly on the basis of need without regard for race, creed, color, or politics. North Carolina led the nation in all such drives for 1947 and thus far this year is still way out front. Mr. Claude Shotts, secretary of the YMCA, saw a great deal of the clothing distributed last year while traveling in Europe with the American Friends Service Committee. Mr. Shotts said the bulk of the clothing went to re fugee camps, uprooted peoples, prisoners of war, and people bombed out by incindery bombs which completely destroyed all clothing. Some of the articles most need ed overseas are clothing (all kinds for all ages), Bibles, games, school supplies, bedding, shoes i (tied in pairs) galoshes, linens, bar soap and other toilet sup plies. basic facts of crime, delinquency and abnormality out in the open. With the facts that Dr. Kinsey has presented, the social scien tists, social workers, counsellors and all those whose work is con cerned with human behavior can go ahead with the job of trying to correct and improve." Other speakers on yesterday's program of the conference which lina colege in Durham, for the final session, included Dr. W. Critz George, head of the De partment of Anatomy of the Uni versity medical school, and John (See KINSEY, page 4) DURING ONE OF MANY RIOTS staged by Koreans in Kobe.

(International) Redisricting Bill Judge Sewell Will Address Law Luncheon North Carolina Supreme Court Justice A. A. F. Sewell will t-peak at a luncheon of the Phi Alpha Delta fraternity in the Carolina Inn today at 1 o'clock. The law school fraternity is sponsoring a regular serir!, of luncheons at which well-known legal men will speak, according to President J. W. Alexander. An initiation of new members is also scheduled for the meeting. Sewell, who has served on the Supreme Court since 1938, was a member of the class of 18o9 here. He practiced law in San ford and served several terms in the General Assembly in the State Senate. In 1935 he was ap pointed State Attorney General by Governor Ehringhaus. Di Will Discuss Negro Admissions At Meet Tonight Students will argue admission of Negroes to graduate schools run b the State for the first time publicly tonight when the Di alectic Senate meets at 9 o'clock in the Di hall, third floor, New West. A bill to be presented at that time, when all Di members and all other interested students arc invited to discuss, would favor accepting Negro's applications for four specific reasons. First, the graduate schools pro vided by the State especially for Negroes are not academically equal to white schools, according to the Senate measure. Second, the proposal maintains that graduate schools such as the University's are capable of hand ling Negro students. Refusing Negroes as graduate students to these schools, the bill asserts, is an act of rank discrim ination to forbid equal education al rights. Finally, such Supreme Court decisions as Missouri ex. rcl. Gaines vs. Canada and the Okla homa case are cited as evidence that discrimination is a violation of the United States Constitution. Strike Enters Its Thhtl Day Today; Picketing Goes On By J'ro Dickinson The cnrral strike at More hrad planetarium and other J A Jones Construction com pany projects in this area moves into its third day this morning and as yet no agree ment bet ween union and com pany officials has been reach ed. E. M. Kratt, vice-president of the Jones company, reported last night that "nothing new has de veloped" which would alter the strike. Union Leaders Meet 11 said it. was his understand ing that union leaders were meet ing at the A. V. of L. Labor Temple in Durham last night but that no company officials were participating. P. M. Taylor, Durham building trades union official, said after last night's meeting that "every thing remains the same" and in dicated that the next move is up to the company. Involves 325 Workers The strike, called by the Dur ham Building Construction Trades council, involves 125 union workers at the planetarium and about 200 workers at the Liggett and Myers project in Durham. Iron workers, hoisting engi neers, and cement finishers are striking for 25 to 37 1-2 cent pay hikes and other skilled workers are on sympathy strike. Only un skilled non-union workers re main at. work at Jones company projects. Refuses Wage Increase Union officials in Durham said the strike occurred because th3 Jones company refused to in crease wages to a point which would equal that being paid by local contractors in Durham and other cities of the area. A report last night showed another walkout occurred yester day at the $3,000,000 project at Neuso in Wake county. Union men left their jobs after a dead line had been reached in which the Jones company had failed to meet the terms of union officials. Picketing Continues Pickets continued marching at the planetarium and other Jones projects yesterday and gave word that they intend to remain on strike until what they consider a fair wage is installed. "We can hold out as long, if not longer, than the Jones com pany," said a spokesman for the group. A picket at the planetarium project earned over his shoulders a placard which read, "This job is unfair to organized labor." Other Projects Affected Jones projects also being af fected by the walkout include the library addition and physics building at Duke university, and other construction unite in Char lotte and Greensboro. The union is seeking a 25 cents per hour increase for workers now making $1.75 hourly, and an increase of 37 1-2 cents an hour for those who normally make $1.25 and $1.50 per hour. Company spokesmen said yes terday that they had offered to inert the union demands halfway but that, the offer was refused.
