Same Quiz Mistakes Cleared By Council Two boys who had similar mistakes on a quiz, and whose previous three quiz grades were exactly the same, were exonerated by the Men's Honor Council, according to case reports released yesterday by Clerk Pete Gerns. . The Council took the weight of their testimony on how their i f mistakes were similar and the OTrlrly TOLID fact that there were few mistakes . of the same nature on the three Q tntertaiTl nrevious tests, despite the same ness of grades.

The control and steady regula tion of protoplasm, the stuff of which life is made, is still the big enigma in the study of mankirfd, Dr. Edmund W. Sinnott, noted biologist and director of the Shef field Scientific School in Yale University, said last night. "Whatever we may think of life, the mind of man, the organiza tion of the body and its relation to mind, it is eveident that or ganization as we see it in living things is a very real fact, explain it how we will. In any problem dealing with life it must be taken into account," he said. f Dr. Sinnott delivered in Hill Hall the first of his series of thf ee addresses comprising this yeaVs John Calvin McNair Lectures the object of which are "to show the mutual bearing of Science and Theology upon each other and to prove the existence and at tributes, as far as may be, of God from nature." They were estab lished in 1908 through a, bequest by the Rev. John Calvin McNair of the class of 1849. Dr. Sinnott's general theme is "Life, Mind and "Spirit," the first tonight being concerned mainly with the biological aspects of hu man life. He was introduced by Chancellor Robert B. House, and of the Committee on Established Lectures Campus Vespers, sponsored by the YWCA and YMCA. wil he- gin-Monday evening at 5:30, Ted Pr- Gordon Blackwell, Chairman Sellars, Worship Chairman of the YMCA, said yesterday. 'Gerrard Hall will be open to students and faculty of all faiths and denominations who desire a few moments of quiet medita tion and prayer at the close of each day, Monday through Thurs day of each week," Sellars said. Soft music and candles will be used to establish a reverent at mosphere in the Hall. " ' , ' The Y plans t osponsor a speak er once each week, varying the night for the speaker from week to week in order that more people may be given the opportunity to attend. There wil be no program for the other three nights, how ever and all who desire to wor ship may come and go at any time during the hour from 5:30 to 6:30. "Biology has made enormous strides in the study of processes, of the successive series of chem ical changes which go into pro toplasm, but these organizing re lations which living things dis play present a much more for midable problem," Dr. Sinnott said. ; H "It may be that some new idea, some great generalization com parable to that of relativity for physics, will be necessary before we shall be able to understand the true nature of protoplasmic systems, so deceptively simple to outward view but the seat of that complex organized activity which is life." SP Assembly To Nominate Frosh Officers The Student Party-sponsored freshman convention to nominate officers for the freshman class will -be held in Gerrard Hall at 8 o'clock tonight, SP Chairman Fred Thompson said yesterday. Thompson said that orily fresh men will be permitted to take part in the nominations. He said the meeting will be open to all first year students and urged all freshmen "interested in a good slate of officers" to turn out for the meeting. Referring to the Student Party's support of President Mackie's proposal to keep the three political parties out of the freshman elections, Thompson said, "It was the hope of the SP that freshman elections would be left entirely in the hands of their class but inasmuch as the other parties did not see fit to agree with this plan the SP. voted to an open convention." All students gaining nomina tions at tonight's meeting will receive SP endorsements on the ballots and SP support if they desire it, Thompson said. Steering Committee of the party has been called for tomor rom afternoon at 4 o'clock in Graham Memorial. The SP voted at its Monday night meeting to hold no meeting next week due to rushing by fraternities. The party will meet in Roland Parker 1 and 2 Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock to continue its nominations for the fall elec tions. Thompson said that SP nominations for junior class offi cers will be completed at Sun day's meeting. Negro Students Enter Suit Following University Refusal Of Entrance To Law School GREENSBORO, Oct. 25 Their failure to gain admis sion to the Law School of the University is a denial of their Constitutional rights, two Ne gro students charged in a suit filed in middle district Fed eral Court here today. Harold Thomas Epps, 23, of Asheville, one of the plain tiffs, stated he was entering suit "after exhausting all ad ministrative remedies." Both Epps and Robert Davis Glass, the second plaintiff,, are at present studying law at the North Carolina College in Dur ham.

Board Starts Picking Student Solons Today The special selection board set urer of the Interim Council, said up to choose Carolina's 23 dele gates to the 13th State Student Legislature said yesterday that only students applying will be considered. The Board will interview all students who wish to attend the Legislature .in the Carolina For um Room from 3 until 4 o'clock this afternoon and Thursday in Graham Memorial. , John Sanders, UNC representa tive to the Interim Council, urged all interested persons to appear in order to enable the Board to name a "delegation representative of the student body." According to Sanders, "no hard and fast requisites have been set by the Board. We are, however, especially interested in students with some parliamentary experience."

Students are asked to place their reservations at the Univer sity Club booth in the Y between 9 o'clock and 2 o'clock, and at the same time, sign the registra tion book giving their New York address for the weekend. Those students desiring to drive their automobiles to Durham' to meet the trains to New York may park for the entire weekend in The Downtown Servicenter, 401 McMannen Street, located two blocks south of the Citizen's Bank, has set aside space for 100 student automobiles for that weekend.

This does not obligate the student in any way, but merely gives the Club some indi cation of how many people will have to be accomodated, Hol combe said. that this year's session will con vene on Thursday night, Dec. 1 and adjourn on Dec. 3. At the las't session, held during the spring quarter, 117 students from 18 colleges attended. Due to the conflict with spring activ ities at many colleges, Talley said the Interim Council decided to hold this year's session during the fall quarter. Village Bus Catches Fire One of the new buses owned by the recently-formed Chapel Hill Transit Co. caught fire last night on iranklin btreet near the local high school. The bus, which was traveling east at the time" of the mishap, was hailed by a passing cabbie who noticed the flames at the rear of the vehicle and told the driver. The blaze was thought to have been originated bv friction caused when the brakes were applied. Oil, which had been leaking from the crank case, was thus ignited causing the fire. The damage to the bus was not termed serious. Adams Will Discuss Spanish Book Today Dr. N. B. Adams of the Depart ment of Romance Languages will discuss a new Spanish volume now on display in the Bulls Head Bookshop this afternoon, at o'clock. Hisjsubject will be "New Trans lation of Don Quixote" by Sam Putnam published this f alL talks by the U. S. diplomats.

Story Shades of Horatio Alger U.S. Leaders Cease Work On Strategy LONDON, Oct. 25 () United States diplomats from the iron curtain countries ended to night their two-day talks on stra tegy in the cold war. They discovered, at the last minute that sime Brftons did not like the idea of having them around.

Even when Samuel Selden, director ,of the Carolina Playmakers, told her that she had no "plot sense" after looking at her first plays, Mildred Mildred Danforth Play To Premiere This Week citizens which I do not be lieve can be obtained at North Carolina College in Durham because of its unaccredited status." Named as defendants in the suit representing the university as an incorporated body are W. D. Carmichael,' Jr., acting presi dent Henry P. Brandis, Jr., dean of the law school, Rby Armstrong, director of admissions, and Arch T. Allen, secretary of the Board of Trustees. " Epps and Glass contend that their action is based on the 14th amendment of the United States Constitution, which states that no state shall ". . . deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." Both plaintiffs state that they have been denied admission to the law school "solely" because of their race and color, which they contend, "is an unlawful discrimination and constitutes a denial of the right of plaintiffs and other qualified Negroes to the equal protection of laws in contravention to the 14th amend ment of the U. S. Constitution." Glass, A 26-year old veteran of Belmont, did not come to Greensboro on account of a class schedule which required his presence at school. Epps was accompanied to court here by his attorney and Kelley M. Alexander of Charlotte, head of the North Carolina chapter of the National Association for Advancement of Colored People. Speaking for the NAACP Alexander stated, "Our organ ization wants to see all qual ified Negroes enter state sup ported colleges and univer sities on an equal basis with other citizens."

She does not look like the de termined type, being soft-spoken, with a friendly "smile and a touch of grey in the edges of her hair, but looks are deceiving. Mildred stayed in school, adding to the initial 10 dollars by taking baby sitting jobs, and she kept at her writing. The first result of this deter mination was "The Reluctant Traveler," a play about a young man falsely accused of being a Communist. It was produced last February by the Adelphi College Playwrights' Theatre in Garden City, N. Y. "One of the motion picture companies was interested in it," she said, "until they found out (See DANFORTH, Page 4) Bunyan Was Never Like This Motorized Saw Chases Squirrels From Tree Homes Behind Library By Bill Kellam Paul Bunyan and his big blue J ox, Babe, would have found their talents quite superfluous if they'd dropped by the excavations back of the library last Monday or late last week. Trees were being felled left and right and their stumps were being bodily deposed from their former resting places, but all this work was being accomplished without a bit of Bunyanesque huffing and puffing. A motorized chain saw was buzzing through the tough oak and spruce trunks in less than a minute per tree and then was cutting the trunks into neat sec tions so they could be hauled to Carrboro to be used for fire wood. Over a dozen of the sylvan giants, much to the distress of evicted squirrels, succumbed to the whirring teeth of the saw, a circular portable affair which was powered by a small gas engine. After the . tree trunks were hauled away, the bulldozers went to work on the hefty stumps. The dozers lowered their blades, like medieval knights lowering their visors, and then snortingly charged into the frayed stumps. A few powerful pushes, and the stumps were displaced. Placing a multi-hundred pound stump into the bed of a dump truck would be quite a job for even Paul and Babe, but the des truction workers had their trusty steam shovel at hand and were equal to the occasion. The ponderous diggers display ed amazing agility. It would lum ber over to the stumps, seize one on its scoop like a dog pick ing up a stick, swing around, and drop it onto the truck. students who crowded the side lines and the adjacent liberary windows got big charges out of the way the shovel operator used the scoop to pack the stumps in the bed of the truck so they wouldn't be jarred out as they were hauled away to be dumped at some deserving fill-in pro ject. Some of the excavation work has already been completed, but the larger part of the 6,000 cubic yards of dirt which is to be re moved is still unremoved. A company official said that the excavating should be completed wthin two weeks, provided they don't encounter too much bed rock. Shell-shocked students who en dured this summer's blasting on the seemingly endless sewer pro ject on Raleigh Street sincerely hope that the diggers don't have SDA Group Given Talk By Umstead State Representative John Umstead of Orange County said last night that he has seen no evidence of any "machine" being built in Gov. Kerr Scott's admin istration, and "I don't think he knows how to build one." Umstead spoke before a group of students and faculty members at a meeting in Graham Me morial, sponsored by the Students of Democratic Action, collegiate branch of National Americans for Democratic Action. The subject covered the roles of Senator Frank Porter Graham, Governor Scott and National Committeeman Jonathan Daniels in the state Democratic organi zation. - Umstead predicted that, "With a decent campaign on both sides, I doubt if any man in the state can beat Frank Graham when he runs for re-election to the Senate." Umstead defined a decent campaign as one which did not pit "white against black, labor against capital, or any group against another." The large crowd of onlooking'a rocky road ahead. Embarrassed A certain dispatcher on the Carolina Cab two-way radio was rather embarrassed the other night, but he recovered himself in gentlemanly fashion. One cabbie was evidently having trouble having his fare to come out and get in the cab so the dispatcher advised him to "blow hell out of your horn." forgetting that every other cab was also tuned into his remarks. A minute later his voice came back: "This is the dispatcher, I would like to apologize to ihn lady riding in cab no. 1. , lately determined. i
