Noah Wilson of Wilson's Mills (See FOX, page 4) Virginia Snubbed, Carolina 'Gentlemen In Hotels' Talk Students Termi Weeken d n OS PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 16) Philadelphia hotelmen dis closed today they are considering their own Mason-Dixon line to keep University of Virginia foot ball fans out of town when Vir ginia plays here. Bennett E. Tousley, president of the Philadelphia Hotel Associa tion, declared Virginia backers showed "they certainly were not Southern gentlemen" ten days ago when the Cavaliers upset Penn 26-.4. Tousley asserted that Virginia students and alumni who checked in to two downtown hotels were "steamed up on whiskey and waving Confederate flags," and went on a vandals' spree. A meeting with members of the hotelmen's Association, Tousley said, unanimously decided that if Virginia plays here again, "We won't take reservations from any one south ol Chester lo mugs from Philadelphia. Tousley disclosed that the. ho telmen would seek an appoint ment with President Colgate W. Darden of Virginia University to work out a "cooperative plan" against "any tremendous damage again." , ' President Darden said at Char lottesville he was "distressed at the damage .done in, Philadel phia," and called it "inexcusable." In New York, however, hotel- men said they would roll out the welcome mat any time for the host of, North Carolina students who showed up last week for the Tar Heels' rout by Notre Dame. James A. McCarthy, executive secretary of the Hotel Associa tioh of New York City, said the North Carolinians "were very fine young' gentlemen," adding "definitely we would like to in vite them back." McCarthy said he had "heard nothing from any hotel but the highest praise for their conduct. We were' glad to have them and we'll be glad to welcome them here again." Several thousand University, of Virginia students, old grads and rooters came to Philadelphia, for the Nov. 5 game. The Virginia fans made the Adelphia and Ben jamin Franklin Hotels their headquarters Tousley said visitors wrecked considerable equipment when Virginia played Penn here m 1347, .he said. (Penn won that game, 19-7). Tousley had no estimate of the damage this time. Here are some of the things he said some of. the visitors did: Annoyed elevator operators; threw beer in the face of a young Negrd elevator girl; ran around halls all night long, tore down fire hose, smashed signs and broke every sand jar in the Adel phia, ripped down glass-edged signs in the lobby. Asked for his own estimate of the number of visitors, Tousley replied: ' "Too many." "A lot of schools play here and we have many visitors for many games, but we never saw any thing like what happened here Saturday .before last," Tousley added. He said a letter would be sent today to Darden and a simi lar one to officials at the Univer sity of Pennsylvania. "We feel that the situation is serious enough to discuss with officials of both institutions," he declared. He declined to say if the asso ciation would seek damages. "The general riotous nature of the visit is far more serious than the mon etary loss," Tousley said. World federal government was favored by an 11-10 vote Tues day night in the Phi ' Assembly. Debate - was - led by Speake Graham Jones who left the chair to come out in favor of the bill "Since the Soviet Union has ac quired tire atomic bomb "we fee less secure and more in need of a limited but effectively powerful world government," he said. Jones joined Senator Frank Graham in calling for revision of the United Nations charter to abolish the veto power because of its misuse by Russia. He also recommended an internationa police force and a world court "To vote against tonight's bit would be to vote against peace and to favor a return to the day of inaction in the twenties," he declared. , upposition to , tne Dili came from Phi Representatives Hamil ton Horton and George Rodman Horton reported that the State Department believes a world fed eral government enacted now would result with. Russia's with drawal. "This action would lead to a formation of two hostile camps, and a third world war jvould be the , outcome," he as serted. V 4. Rodman told the Assembly that the United Nations cannot, as a world federalism medium, prove adequate to serve the needs of the world. "No world federation is practical or possible," he said, be cause it would progress to a dom ination by one power and too great a centralization." In an executive session follow ing the debate, the Phi approved four candidates for membership. They are Neil Glenn, Burlington; David Rae, Rock Hill, S. C; Den nis Webb', Cliff side; "and.

According to Attorney-General John Sanders the bill meets a 'moral obligation" brought about by an informal agreement be tween student government and the Dean of Students office.
