University By Lincoln -Kan On Tuesday, the. students of the University will have an op portunity to observe the 155th birthday of our alma mater. Most of us know that it is the first state university to open its doors to the general public; however, a considerable portion of the em inent history of the University has become , lost in the archives of the library. The tendency of colleges and universities to give their oldest possible ages, and sometimes over, raises a question as to the long accepted idea of their feminine gender. Carolinians, however, are proud that they have the oldest operating uni versity in the United States, even though she was not the first chartered state university. The ' honor for the earliest charter Students, eceive Legislature Condemns Armory Store Closing By Bill Buchan Accusing certain members of the University administra tion of "refusing to consult the will of the student body" in the Circus Room-Scuttlebutt controversy, the Student Legislature last night passed a strongly worded resolution condemning "that part of the administration for its policy and actions in regards to the issue." The resolution, introduced by loe Leary, was quickly passed after a suspension of rules in Drder that the legislature could act on the bill without sending It to committee. Student legislators expressed no opposition to the bill, but Miles Smith . took ' the floor to declare that "students have a will of their own" and that "stu dents have a right to better fa cilities." In introducing the bill, Leary declared that the Scuttlebutts on the east end of the campus are inadequate since the Armory Store was closed, and that the will of the student body was evidenced by petitions contain ing 700 names requesting the re opening of the store. The bill further pointed out that "the administration has act ed highhandedly in dismantling the store building in an effort l.o cease discussion on the matter." Other business of the first fall session of the legislative body in- luded a report by Parliamen tarian George Rodman on sum- Tier activities and the introduc tion of a number of bills by other members which were sub- Tutted to committees for action. Finance committee chairman lack Girard made a report, giv- ng the total assets of student funds as $8,618 at the end of the spring session. The unap oropriated balance totaled with his gives the campus budget a total of $10,000 remaining in the budget for this year. Among the bills introduced was one by Joe Leary authorizing the payment of $1160 to Graham Memorial to complete a debt owed that organization by the Student Entertainment commit tee.

The visitors vote was 25-4 in favor of the resolu tion. Dr. E. J. Woodhouse of the olitical Science department led the discussion bringing up points in favor and against the bill.

Acting chairman Jonathan Mar shall said yesterday, "Many stu dents are not satisfied with the candidates put up. by the Repub licans and the Democrats; we do not feel that we can support Wal lace with his Communist back ing, and the only real liberal ticket is the Socialist ticket of Norman Thomas and Tucker Smith." The agenda for the meeting will include a short discussion period, election of officers, plans for a mass meeting, and plans for a publicity campaign. All students, faculty members, and townspeople are invited. Years Old University remained empty until Hinton James arrived on Febru ary 12, 1795 to become the first student body of the University of North Carolina. By the end of the term, the two faculty mem bers had their hands full pound ing learning into the heads of 41 aspiring students. The "father" of our University was General William R. Davie. He introduced the "University bill" to the House of Commons on November 12, 1789. For nine days a reluctant legislature pon dered the bill and finally on Nov 21, 1789 the bill was passed. Seven days later the trustees who numbered among them many Princeton men met to en counter their first problem and it was how to raise funds for buildings. For two years Davie, Rev. Samuel F. McCorkle, ' (See UNIVERSITY, page 4) Tickets By Herb Nachman Students and faculty members flocked to Chapel Hill police head- quarters yesterday with "cour tesy" parking tickets they had re ceived for parking in areas with out official University red stickers. Chief W. T. Sloan said that no fines would be imposed until Monday when the new regula tions officially go into effect. "The University is in the process of erecting the proper signs, and they will be set up by Monday," he explained. According to the regulations which go into effect Monday, four parking areas on campus are de signated as "'red sticker areas" and will be only for the use of cars displaying red stickers. They are the parking lots by Phillips, Memorial halls and Steele and Carr dormitories. Cars with blue stickers or with no stickers at all will not be al lowed to park in these areas. Chief Sloan said that if a student gets a ticket after Monday and ignores it, a warrant will be sworn out for him and the minimum ' penalty will be $8.75. However, a parking ticket will only cost the driver $1 if he attends to the matter immediately, Sloan said. Assistant Dean of Students Bill Friday said yesterday that ap proximately 700 red stickers had already been issued to students who are eligible to have them. The regulations allow com muters, administrative officials, faculty members and physically handicapped students to carry a red sticker on their vehicles. "Per-, sons living outside the designated walking zone may obtain the red sticker," Friday pointed out. But he went on to say that there are only about 585 parking spacos available in the red sticker area and that for this reason, a red sticker will not necessarily guar antee its holder a parking place. "However, we belive the plan will relieve the situation consid erably," he said. Under the plan, cars with blue stickers may park at any author ized parking place on the campus except the four lots named. The area in which blue stickers will be issued is bounded by Rosemary street on the north, Mallotte, Ransom and Oransome streets on the west, Raleigh road, Un iversity drive and Vance streets on the south and the Country Club road and Boundary street on the cast. Persons living withrin this area are considered to be in the walking zone. Those outside this area are entitled to red stick- ers. Dean Friday said yesterday that all students who have not reg istered their cars must come to his office, second floor South building, and do so immediately. In addition to the regulations, the committee presented three requests designed to further al leviate the parking and traffic problem. These requests are: 1. That holders of blue stickers leave their cars at their residences. 2. That' holders of red stickers try to avoid moving their cars from one area to another during class changes. 3. That speed limits be ob served. No Comment GREENSBORO.
