Two Men Confess Moving Parked Auto
Into Recorder's Court Judge's Driveway
By J. L. Merritt
Pearl Norwood, local Negro woman who was convicted
of illegal parking last Tuesday in Chapel Hill Recorder's
court, found two unexpected champions yesterday in the
form of students Mike Wallace and Dick Barab.
Last week, Pearl parked her
car on Pittsboro street while she
went to work at the Carolina
Inn. While she was at work in
the Inn, the two students de
cided to wash their car which
was parked directly behind
Pearl's. They moved Pearl's car
further up the street to avoid
wetting it and then washed their
own.
After washing their car, the
students went in to eat at their
fraternity house and forgot to
move Pearl's car out of the drive
way in which they had pushed
it.
Judge Whitfield found the car
blocking his driveway. He called
the police station and officer R.
L. Blackwood came out and mov
ed Pearl's car.
Pearl was found guilty in last
week's session of the Recorder's
court and ordered to pay $10
and costs. She appealed the de
cision and was released under
$100 bond.
Upon reading the Daily Tar
Heel report of the case, Wallace
and Barab remembered they had
pushed a car away a few days
before, and went to Judge Whit
field to tell him the story. As
a result, the judge reopened the
case and Wallace and Barab ap
peared before him in Recorder's
court.
Pearl was cleared and the two
students were ordered to pay the
amount of costs and the $10 fine
which Pearl had been ordered
to pay.
Judge Whitfield, in pronounc
ing his decision, commended Wal-
r?lace and Barab for the voluntary
f admission of guilt.
"There was no evidence at the
time of the trial except the de
fendant's denial," Judge Whit-
field said. "I consider it a very
fine thing that the two young
gentlemen, with a fine sense of
duty and obligation, admitted
that they were guilty."

YM Solicitors
Initiate Drive
For Members
48 Men Working
On Fund Campaign
More than 48 solicitors yester
day opened the $5,000 YMCA
membership drive by endeavor
ing to contact all of the 6,000
male students living on campus.
Funds were beginning to come
in yesterday, Charlie Fox, YMCA
financial chairman, said, although
"semi-complete returns only are
available at present." Today
marks the halfway point cf the
drive.
At a pre-campaign supper held
in the Baptist church Monday
night, the solicitors heard Chan
cellor Robert B. . House praise
them for serving God and man
"with will, energy and-youth in
this collection of funds."
House illustrated the difficulties
solicitors would most likely meet
in their contacts and outlined
methods for overcoming them. At
the same time he charged the
Y men with their responsibility
during the drive.
"If you do anything whatso
ever on this campus," he said,
I "you will need courage, convic-
tion and persistance to carry it
out."
The chancellor pointed out that
non-members of the YMCA may
not be fully aware of the work
it accomplishes here, but that once
this work is brought to their
consciousnesses, they will want
j to join the YMCA and "testify
j that by their contribution."
Stating that he "didn't know
of anything more important" than
the drive which the solicitors
were undertaking, House went on
to say, "If you yourself believe
in what you are. doing with all
your heart . . it will give you
an air of dignity and conviction
as you approach your fellow stu
dents." Adams Makes Talk

Jack, Pete and Moe decided to
see if "Ufkinay" had any steam
left in her after 20 odd years,
so they got underway for New
York Friday night about 9 o'clock.
They had no trouble at all un
til they crossed the Maryland
line and the car decided to lie
down for a rest. Nothing that
the students did could start her,
until three hours later when she
decided she had rested enough
and started of her own accord.
Then they headed for Pete's home
town and arrived about 12 o'clock
Saturday.

Coeds Get Tips
On Job-Hunting
From Speakers
Coeds, got a few pointers on
jobs open to women graduates
at the monthly coed get-together
held Monday afternoon in Gra
ham Memorial. The four fields
discussed were education, journal
ism, sociology, and secretarial
work.
The greatest number of avail
able jobs and the best playing ones
are in the teaching profession, ac
cording to the report given by
Gordon Ellis of the education de
partment. The need for well pre
pared teachers is particularly
great in the elementary schools,
he stated, and also in the science,
mathematics, and physical edu
cation departments of the high
schools. The salaries run from
$180-$240 a month according to
experience and whether the teach
er has an A or B certificate.
Miss Ruth Gilpin of the soci
ology department stated that
there is also a great demand for
girls in the fields of case work,
group work, and community or
ganization. She warned, however,
that girls going into social work
would have to be content to be
paid "with more than money."
A girl just out of college who
starts in social work in this region
could not expect to cam more
than $1,800 a year.-

School Regents
Change Stand
On 'Segregation
OKLAHOMA CITY, Feb. 1
(UP) Oklahoma's regents for
higher education suggested
amendment of the state's segre
gation laws today to permit Ne
groes to enter white universities
on a segregated basis if they
cannot get desired training at
Langston university for Negroes.
Dr. M. A. Nash, chancellor of
the regents, said the recommen
dation was made to Gov. Roy J.
Turner and both houses of the
state legislature.
Nash said the board's action is
meant to comply with a three
judge ruling last October. In
the case of G. W. McLaurin, the
judges ruled he must be admit
ted to the University of Okla
homa to study for a doctor's de
gree because the type of training
he sought was not provided at
Langston.
Today's action came on the
heels of another attempt to
crack Oklahoma's segregation
laws. Three Negroes applied for
admission to O. U. graduate
schools last week and a fourth
said she would try to enter this
week.

Former Governor Says
Caldwell Urges Legislature
To Ratify Regional Schools
OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. Feb.
1 (UP) Former Governor Mil
lard Caldwell of Florida urged
the Oklahoma legislature today to
ratify the Southern governors'
compact on regional education.
Caldwell is chairman of the Re
gional Education organization
formed by the governors chief
ly to share the expense of es
tablishing centers of higher edu
cation for Southern Negroes. The
governors, in a Tallahassee, Fla.,
conference early in 1948, set up
machinery for the regional move
ment. The compact agreed on
there must be ratified by the
legislatures of the states involved.
The plan was not conceived as
a means of "evading the South's
responsibility to Negroes," Cald
well told the lawmakers. It was
conceived long before the Su
preme court decisions directing
Southern stales to provide equal
facilities for white and Negro
citizens, he said.
Caldwell said the federal gov-
ernment already has approved

Pearson bays
Webb Slated
As Dean Here
Says S'alary Was
$15,000 Annually
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1 Drew
Pearson, Washington columnist
and radio commentator who spoke
in Chapel Hill last week, said
today James Webb had been slat
ed to take over as dean of the
University of North Carolina
School of Commerce.
Pearson said Webb was sched
uled to take the post before Presi
dent Truman appointed him as
the new undersecretary of state.
The Capitol Hill reporter said
Webb had been offered several
inviting jobs, but the one he
wanted most was offered him
by Frank Porter Graham, presi
dent of the Greater University
of North Carolina.
Webb, then director of the
budget, had received offers, Pear
son said, from Tom Morgan, head
of the Sperry Gyroscope company,
and Clay Williams of Reynolds
Tobacco. The commentator said
the salary for the former job
was $35,000 per year.
Webb had also reportedly re
ceived a bid from a New York
chemical company for' his serv
ices. Pearson said Dr. Graham, while
in the Dutch East Indies work
ing for the United Nations, had
written Webb a letter in long
hand asking him to become dean
of the North Carolina university ,
School of Commerce.
The job would have paid, Pear
son reported, a salary of $15,000
per year, less than half that of
at least One of the other offerf.
The columnist said, however, thit

more than 100 interstate com
pacts touching on state activities.
"It was generally agreed among
the Southern governors that the
federal government has no place
in higher education and that the
integrity and sound development
of our colleges and universities
depend upon absolute freedom
from the central government,"
Caldwell said.
He pointed out that Mississip
pi and South Carolina legisla
tures already have approved the
compact, that nine Southern. leg
islatures now are in session with
Florida and Alabama sessions
scheduled for April and May.
Most Southern states, Caldwell
said, cannot alone afford to have
the "highest type colleges offer
ing all subjects to its young citi
zens, but together they can."
For instance, he said, Florida
has no medical or dental college
and it would cost $5,000,000 to
$10,000,000 and require several
years to get one underway,

The candidate, aside from being
the chairman of the Student coun-
cil, highest judiciary body in stu
dent government, has been a
member of the Student legisla
ture, the State Student legisla
ture, the Greater University Stu
dent council, and a member of
former President Tom Eller's
coalition cabinet.
As chairman of the Student
legislature Finance committee,
Mackie helped draw up the first
student budget under the new
constitution.
He served in the House of
Representatives in the State Stu
dent legislature. He also has been
speaker pro tempore, critic and
sergeant-at-arms-of the Dialectic
senate and vice president of the
International Relations club.
Mackie has served on the De
bate council and is a member of

ment, in full, said:
"The Student party is honored
to nominate Bill Mackie for the
