The full statement, as submitted by Don Shropshire, chairman of a special commitee appointed to investigate the case is as follows: "Since the Student Party has fulfilled its policy of bringing to the attention of the student ' body any negligence which serves to weaken . btuaent uovemmem, and since we deplore the use of any smear campaign we wish to take the front in bringing a close to the matter involving the Chair man of the Rules Committee of the Student Legislature. We resolve to withhold further action, leaving this matter to the proper branch of our government to decide whether our charges are just. To ascertain this "proper branch," we submit this constitu tional question to the Student Council for decision". Lr. Col. Roy Hillyer to Address Air Reserve Meeting on Tuesday By Owen Lewis Lt. Col.

J , I HOOSE ' T St. , ; 13 r : ; Weekend Rooms In Washington Are Available Students going to the Maryland game in Washington this week end may secure hotel accommo dations at the Harrington hotel, 11th and E streets, announced Joe Ward, University club president, yesterday. Specific information as to the number of students who will de sire accommodations at the Har rington has not been given, but University club officers, were in formed that "up to 200" students could be taken care of there, three and four to a room at $1.75 per person per night for Friday and Saturday nights. Council Warning The Men's council met Wednes day and after 'hearing three cheating cases, suspended indef initely four men. "We would like" to bring it to the attention of all students that violators of the honor code are punished severely by the coun cil and we would like to urge that everyone abide by the honor system and cooperate jn the en forcement of the code," said Page Harris, Chairman of the Men's Council. According to Dr. Carter, Colonel Hillyer, a combat veteran of the 15th Air Force, is expected to discuss plans for the activation of a unit in this area that will be recognized by the Air Force for promotion and subsistence payment purposes. Although Winston-Salem is the only city in North Carolina at present with such a recognized unit, recent figures show a greater number of reservists residing in the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill area than in any other section of the 14th Air Force territory. For the past two years, local reservists have had to go to Mari etta, Georgia, to secure flight training. If the proposed so-called TOJE unit can be activated for this area, a training unit can be established at Raleigh-Durham airport, thus making it much easier to get the training. CHAPEL HILL, N. C, FRIDAY, Terrapin Mum On If William and Mary Can Do It So Can We, Say Boosters By Chuck Hauser COLLEGE PARK, Md., Nov.)l The few University of Mary land students who were still up late this evening had little to say and no predictions to make on Saturday's game between the Terrapins and the Tar Heels. One group of students in a pre game bull session had several re marks, however, on last week's Carolina - William and Mary game. The concensus was, "If William and Mary can do it, so can we." 'We're not going to give up until that last whistle blows," one confident Terp ventured. "And by that time, you might be sur prised again." The . Diamondbacks student newspaper, announced in its weekly issue that a "Beat Caro lina" pep rally would be held on campus tomorrow night. Tar Heels also planned a pep rally the "Beat Maryland" kind. Latest plans tonight still called for a parade and rally to swing into shape at 11 o'clock Saturday morning in downtown Washing ton.

The parade will then cut back up 14th street and head north to a block from Thomas circle where a pep rally will be held preced ing a motorcade out Rhode Island avenue and up to Griffith sta dium for the game. Maryland's pre-Carolina game pep rally last year caused quite a bit of excitement here in Col lege Park. In fact, it took a num ber of Prince George county po lice and a few tear gas bombs be fore officers could disperse the huge crowd which gathered in the' center of U. S. highway 1 which runs through the campus. Washingtonians also will re member last year's Tar Heel pep rally in Franklin park at the corner of 14th and K streets, the "same place it is scheduled this weekend. t All in all, it promised to be end for the Tar Heels, both the an exciting and enjoyable week footballing and the just plain weekending ones.

Under new business, numerous bills were introduced including one by Joe Leary, (UP), to take away the appellate power of the Student council except in cases originating from the Dance committee or the In terdorm council. The proposed bill would give the Student council jurisdiction in cases concerning the violation of the Honor code, campus law and all questions of constitution ality. The Men's and .Women's council would retain jurisdiction in cases concerning violations of the campus code. An attempt to postpone the consideration of the bill to a later date was turned down un til the bill comes out of com mittee. The Town Men's association received a seat on the Graham Memorial Board of Directors and after a bitter fight, was passed giving both the Town men and women representation on the University club. The actual amendment will be voted on by campus referendum. Opponents to the bill, Al Lowenstein and Dortch War riner, (SP), opposed the bill on the ground that neither of the organizations concerned had "proven themselves" on campus and that the amendment should be postponed until a later date. Those speaking for the bill argu ed that it would give town stu dents their first representation in campus activities. Lowenstein later introduced a new bill which would set up a Town Students Organization, composed of both men and wo men living in town. Lowenstein argued that his bill would pro vide a constitutional basis for the existance of the two groups. Students To Be Tried By Ervin State Supreme Court J ustice S. J.

Killin's will be reserved only to them gals who encounter overly-ornery males who refuse to sign on the dotted after the "catch" has been put on 'em.

He'll be John Rosser. Then tonight at 8:30 o'clock when gals have rested up from their ordeals and tho Li'l Abners have reckon-ciled themselves to their inhooman misfortunes, the clan will again gather in Y court fer a squar' dance of mammoth Dogpatch proportions.
