Congressman Says Civil Rights
Will Only
Destroy Peoples Human Rights
Crowd Hears
Hugo S. Sims
In Memorial
SC's 28 Year-Old,
An Avowed Liberal,
Hits Labor Law
By Don Maynard
"Civil right legislation can
only succeed in encouraging
groups like the Ku Klux rvlan
and in destroying our coun
try's chance to gain human
rights," charged Hugo S. Sims,
Jr., South uaronna s year
old Congressional representa
tive before a small crowd in
Memorial Hall last night.
"Political lreedom ana human
rights are economic problems,"
the youngest member of Congress
said. "When we give individuals
their economic freedom, then we
need not declare equal human
rights, we will have them al
ready." The diminutive legislator from
the second election district of
South Carolina, was presented
through the co-sponsorship of the
Young Democrats Club and the
Carolina Forum and spoke on
"Liberalism and the South."
Recently described by Time
Magazine as "the only avowed
liberal, from South Carolina in
Congress, Sims stated that "all
liberals aim toward attaining and
preserving human rights in
America.
"I believe the fufure of the
South depends on liberalism. We
must not let others jockey the
South until it seems we are
against human rights," he de
clared, rcfering to the Southern
reaction to President Truman's
Civil Rights program.
"The program of the Demo
cratic party is directed toward
giving people in the South in
dividual economic freedom," Sims
said to the audience which in
cluded Chancellor of the Univer
sity Robert B. House and Acting
Dean of Students Bill Friday.
"I like to think of a liberal as
a person who realizes the gov
ernments job is to meet the needs
of the people, and that state's
rights is a mean towards accom
plishing an end," the former mem.
ber of the South Carolina legis
lature and ex-paratrooper said.
Sims discussed this country's
economic policies saying that "un
less we keep purchasing power
' in the hands of the people, a few
will become wealthy and we will
have a depression."
lie said a liberal leads the fight
for economy, and cited former
president Herbert Hoover as an
example.
Ho charged that the Taft-Hartley
Act is a law which could
destroy collective bargaining.
"Under it." he said, "if we had
a few million unemployed to act
as strikebreakers, and under a
K publican president, manage
ment could break the back of any
labor union.'
Kofering to federal aid to edu-
lation, now an issue in Congress,
he said "I'm for federal aid to
'diieation, but only under a bill
which does not give up local con
trol of schooling."

Education Aid
HOUSTON, Tex., Nov. 29 m
Harold' E. Stassen .said today
fcderal aid to education should
be available only to Southern
states. 1 -
Stassen, president of the Uni-
versity of Pennsylvania and. a
national Republican leader, urged
the nation's educators to re-ex
amine current programs for re
questing federal funds for every
school district in America.
He spoke before the opening
general session of the 54th annual
convention of the Southern As-
sociation of Colleges and Second-
ary Schools.
The South, Stassen said, faces
low standards that erupted from
the Civil War.
Temporary supplementing of
Southern . state appropriations
with federal funds would be jus-
tified in bringing the area's ed-
ucational standards to the nation-
al level, the former Minnesota
governor said.
Stassen placed the nationwide
average educational expenditure
per pupil at $140, but dropped
the figure to $80 for Southern
itates.
VA Scored
Of Veterans
WASHINGTON, Nov. 29 W
The American Council on Edu
cation asked the Veterans Ad
ministration today to ease the
new "Regulation 1-B" which lim
its the freedom of war veterans
to change colleges or courses.
The Council also asked the
agency to stop whittling down
tuition payments to land grant
colleges. -
VA estimates it has withheld
$15,000,000 from veterans' tuition
payments to land grant colleges
which already had obtained fed
eral funds from other sources.
It said it wished to avoid dupli
cate payment of federal benefits.

Final Call
For Solution

Parking Problem
For Final Action
A last call was issued yester
day for student solutions td ' a
parking problem involving only
800" spaces for some 3,300 cars
University Safety Committee
Chairman Joe Bach asked, all
suggestions to be turned' into
Dean of Students Bill Friday's
office by noon tomorrow. The
committee will meet at 3 o'clock
the same afternoon to take final
action on .one of the campus
most pressing problems
Bach reminded students that
this is their last chance to voice
an opinion on the matter. "From
here on out," he said, "the deci
sion will, remain entirely with
the committee and the adminis
tration.
He said notices have been sent
to dormitory and fraternity pres
idents asking their help. Includ
ed in these notices were three
questions which Bach said could
be used by anyone as. a basis on
which to write a recommendation
for a solution.
The questions asked were (1)
What is your own personal park
ing problem and its solution or
possible solution? (2) What is
the general problem of parking
on campus and its solution? (3)
If cars are to be eliminated, what
method would you suggest for do
ing it? By classes, personal need,
or how?
Bach pointed out the construe
tion of several buildings, as well
as those in the planning stage,
will lessen the number of spaces
available to car owners while in-
creasing, the demand in those rar

Collegiate Body
To Be Composed
Of 30 Schools
By Glenn Harden
The 13th annual State Student
Legislature will covene in Raleigh
tomorrow night with students
from 30 North Carolina colleges
and universities in attendance.
The mock General Assembly
will undertake a scheduled agen
da of 12 bills and resolutions pre
sented by 11 schools.: Twenty
three bills were orginally " sub
mitted for the calendar.
The delegates from ; Carolina
have met twice, electing. Art
Murphey, Pete Cooper, Dave
Sharpe, and Bob Evans as Sen
ators. Carolina submitted two bills
for consideration for the calendar.
On the slate is an omnibus Civil
Rights bill, titled "A Resoultion
Concerning Civil Rights."
Thursday night's plenary ses
sion will convene in the Hall of
the House of Representatives at
8 o'clock. After the members of
the Interim Council for next year
are chosen, the Senate and the
House will convene in their re
spective chambers.
The assembly will re-convene
Friday morning, Friday after
noon, and Friday night. Saturday's
session will consider the last bills,
and adjourn until the next Stud
ent ' State Legislature meets . in
1950.
The mock assembly was begun
in 1936, by Pi Kappa Delta, foren
sic fraternity at Sate College.
Through 1945 the meetings were
held in the fall in the "capitol
building at Raleigh. When the
assembly was in session, the stud
ents' were received by the Cover'
nor at the Mansion.
The ninth assembly, meeting in
December, 1945, passed the Glenn
resolution to admit Negro dele
gates to the next year's legisla
ture. The bill caused so much
discussion that the assembly was
held over an extra day. ;

giving adequate student counsel
ing and guidance for many years,
and that, it is "absurd" for VA
to attempt to superimpose its
system on those schools.
. Brown said the. regulation al
ready has given colleges a great
deal of trouble and is disrupting
the education of veterans "by the
tens of thousands."
The Council's committee on
relationships of higher education
to the federal government agreed
to ask- Congress to remedy the
tuition payments problem unless
VA acts first.
A similar stand has been taken
by the Association of Land Grant
Colleges and Universities, and by
the National Association of State
i Universities.

At Kid Fete
RALEIGH, Nov. 29 An ad
vanced taste of Christmas with an
All-American tailback thrown in
for good measure put 150 young
sters in their glory last night.
The occasion was a full-fledged
yuletide party in. the Hotel Sir
Walter's main ballroom. The
guests were 150 happy kids from
the State School for the Blind,
the Methodist Orphanage and the
Catholic Orphanage.
The host, for the second straight
year, was the hotel management.
The main show was supposed, to
have been a big turkey feed with
all the trimmings, gifts of bicycles
and wagons for the kids, balloons
and popcorn.
The big attraction actually was
gridiron speedster Charlie Justice,
who dropped over from Chapel
Hill to say a few words to the
youngsters.
The Choo Choo stole the show
as he steals ball games. The kids
eyed him everywhere he turned,
forgot their ice cream when he
passed. Only the spanking new
bicycles which the hotel turned
over to the kids could furnish the
Asheville flash the slightest com
petition.
