Phone Council Meets, Plan Program, Picks Officers Fowler Elected Group Chairman By Sam McKeel Meeting at State college in Raleigh Sunday . night, the Stu dent council of the Greater Uni versity of North Carolina adopt ed a constitution, elected tem porary officers, and discussed fu ture activities. -Elected to fill temporary posts until the last meeting in the spring, when the constitution states that officers will be elect ed, were: chairman, Martha Fowler, president of the student body of the Woman's college; vice-chairman, Virgil Mims, of State college; secretary, Marilyn McCullom, of Woman's college; and treasurer, Page Harris of the University. The constitution, drawn up recently by a constitutional com mittee received much discussion and many minor changes before being passed. As it stands, the constitution is so worded that it will prevent any one of the three schools from monopolizing the leadership and meetings of the council. The constitution further states that there shall be at least one officer elected from each school, and for the sake of expediency and efficiency the chairman and secretary shall be elected from the same school. The constitu tion also states that each school has equal representation. Two committees were formed at the meeting. The first was an interim committee to meet with University officials and discuss ways and means of the council, and to hear any suggestions that the officials may have on the future activities of the group. The second committee was a pro ject committee to handle all fu ture projects that may be sug gested by members of the council.

'Prove It's There' 'Finding Of Fort Raleigh' Is Topic of Harrington Speech By Laura Hearne "It has been a thrilling exper ience to actually find Fort Raleigh to prove that it is there," said Dr. J. C. Harrington, regional archeologist of the National Park service, in his talk on "The. Find ing "of Fort Raleigh", at the 16th annual meeting of the North oarolina Archeological .society Saturday afternoon in Wilson hall. Heretofore, there has been only the legend and "tantalizing docu mentary evidence" that the fort actually existed. However, in the summer of 1947, Dr. Harrington, directing the work of a small group of laborers, found tangible proof of the Fort's site on the northern end of Roanoke Island. He has reconstructed the size and type of fort in a small model which was on exhibit at the meet ing. The search was continued last summer but as yet no struc tural, material used on the fort F-3371 F-3361 Parking To I In S e Cancelled teele, Carr By Margaret Gastcn Campus parking permits issued to residents of Steele and Carr dormitories will be cancelled at the end of this quarter, March 24, in compliance with action taken by the Safety committee, Chairman Steve Millikin announced yesterday. Letters to this effect have been mm mm i mmw mailed to students living in these winsiow laiK Will Concern Public Health Noted Authority . Speaks Tonight Dr. C. E. Winsiow, noted world authority on public health, will address a Gerrard hall audience tonight at 8 o'clock on "The Task of Public Health in the World Today." Here for an examination of !the School of Public Health, Dr. Winsiow will speak under the joint auspices of the Carolina forum and the School of Public Health. Former professor of public health at Yale university, Dr. Winsiow retired three years ago and has since then been editor of the Journal of Public .Health. He is in charge, for the American Public Health association, of ac crediting schools of public health. At the present there are nine such schools in the United States, and one in Canada. Dr. Winsiow said. "We are tremendously interested in the University of North Carolina. It is the only school in the South and takes care of the whole Southeastern part of the United States." SDA to Discuss Action by House The recent action taken by Chancellor House in denying the use of Memorial hall to John Gates, editor of the Daily Work er, will be the topic of discussion at the Students for Democratic Action meeting tonight at 7:30 in Horace Williams lounge. Prior to the discussion, Hugh Marshall, instructor in the poli tical science department, will deliver an address on civil rights and Communism. The purpose of the address will be to present a political and legal background for the discussion of Chancellor House's action in the Gates affair. Everyone interested is invited to attend. has been found. Among the articles that have been discovered are "two brass buckles, a lot of wrought iron nails, quite a few big iron spikes about 8 inches which we know from Jamestown excavations are typical of that period, and a few lead balls for muskets that were not dateable." Being able to tell what period to assign the dis coveries to is sometimes a major problem of the archeologist. "Contrary to popular belief that the fort constructed by the "Lost Colonists" for protection against the Indians, we don't think so at all. The English weren't afraid of the Indians; they were dis dainful of them. We believe it was built for protection against attack from the sea by Spanish raiding parties," the speaker stated. Between the site of the fort, (See RALEIGH, page 4) NUMBER 78 Permits dormitories at the request of the committee, Steve Millikin, chair man of the committee, said yes terday. Millikin pointed out that ac tion of the Board of Trustees re served central parking areas on the campus for faculty members, commuting students, and others approved by the University Safe ty council. Since the decision to restrict these parking areas came after students had made arrangements for dormitory rooms for the year, Millikin continued, the Safety committee approved the issuance of campus parking permits to the residents of dormitories adjacent to these parking lots for the dur ation of the current- academic year. However, since the parking space is inadequate and since the trustee regulation is expressly in tended to restrict these lots from the parking and storage of auto mobiles owned by students living in centrally located dormitories, the Safety committee has found it necessary to take action, Milli kin said. A recent meeting of the Safety council approved a recommend ation to Chancellor House which would place the area behind Hill hall from Cameron avenue to the County Health office and also the area from Cameron avenue to the Alumnae building on the re stricted areas. If House approves the recommendation, he will in turn recommend this action to the board of trustees. Another recommendation made by the council to House, and in turn to the trustees, is that no parking be allowed on the west side of Raleigh street from Cam eron avenue to Raleigh road. Parking on the west side of Ra leigh street from Franklin to Cameron avenue is already pro hibited. The 12-man Safety council is made up of three students, two faculty members, two town rep resentatives, and one represen tative from both the highway, de partment and the administration.
