better student government on

"Many ideas about the Uni

generally accepted as true. Most

not true," Roth continued. He then

Routine Solon Meeting
Scheduled For Tonight
."Students who put traffic vio
lation tickets in the glove com
partment of their cars and then
promptly forget about them will
have to inaugurate a new policy,"
the committee said.
If found guilty of the viola
tion, an offender will be forced
to pay court costs along with his
fine. As court costs in Chapel
Hill Recorder's Court range from
$10 to $15, he will have to pay
approximately $20 instead of $1.
. "As anyone can plainly sec," a
spokesman ' for the committee
said, "It will be much cheaper t
pay the fine immediately, or bet
ter still, not commit any traffic
violations."
In regard to the Chapel Hill
Police Department's being able to
enforce traffic regulations mads
by the University and concerning
campus parking, the committee
quoted section 116-44.1 of the
General Statutes of the Public
Laws of 1947 for the state ' of
North Carolina.
According to this law the North
Carolina General Assembly gives
the Board . of Trustees of the
University the power to make
regulations oncerning the cam
pus and the local Police Depart
ment the power to enforce them.
Yesterday the committee sent
letters to 58 students who have
received two or more traffic vio-
fation tickets each and have fail
ed to pay their fines. The letter,
which is reprinted below informs
them of the new policy in regard
to violators who do not pay their
fines. '
More than 1,300 students on
campus own cars," a memker of
the committee said, "And if
something isn't done about the
traffic problem soon, drastic
steps will have to be taken." The
committee has worked out this
plan in hopes of securing the co
operation of both the drivers and
the police department in keeping
traffic violations down to a min
imum." The letter sent to the students
with delinquent tickets was as
follows: '

PRINCETON, N. J., Jan. 25
IP) Two Princeton students
were put on probation today
because of what the university
called "questionable taste" in
the campus newspaper.
Placed on probation by the
Dean's Office were Peter D.
Bunzell, of New York, son of a
Park Avenue physician, and
Robert V. Keeley, son of
James Keeley, United States
Minister to Syria.
Keeley will lose a scholar
ship for at least a semester but
otherwise probation involves
no loss of privileges for the
two undergraduates, the uni
versity said.
One of the "Daily Prince-
tonian" items that raised eye-
sation between a Princeton
student and his girl friend.
It pictured the student
strolling down the street dur
ing1 the" fibiise" party season, ;
and asking his companion "if
she knew that 'virginity is the
most bizarre form of sexual
perversion known to man'."
Another item, which also
caused the Dean's Office to
hold the student newspaper
out at arm's length, said a
Princeton philosophy course
"has proved statistically that
'the American woman is a
bitch'."
' A university spokesman said
its action involved "no ques
tion of censorship" and "no
question of controlling the
paper," cut that the "Daily
Princetonian" had "been
warned throughout the fall
term about matters of ques
tionable taste in an unsigned
column."
He said Keeley was the au
thor of the column in which
the offending items occurred.
He said Bunzell was chairman
of the paper when the column
appeared recently, but that his
term of office has since ex
pired. The "Princetonian," al
though not owned by the uni
versity, has its editorial offices
on the campus and is sent to
"many alumni, - parents, and
high schools," the spokesman
said. .' '
It is owned by the Daily
; Princetonian Publishing Com
pany, an independent group
whose trustees are Princeton
graduates. The paper is put
out by undergraduate stu
dents. Greenville Garside, of 1148
Fifth Ave., New York, present
chairman of the "Princetoni
an," said most of the present
undergraduate board feels the
items should not have been
published.

M entreat Delegates Will Worship,
Play Amid Beautiful Surroundings
. By Caroline Bruner i
Students attending the YW-YMCA-sponsored
conference at
Moritreat on Feb. 10-11 will have
an opportunity to worship in and
enjoy one of the most naturally
beautiful parts of the country.
Built in the heart of the Blue
Ridge Mountains, Montreat and
the surrounding buildings are
made of native stone collected on
the Montreat property.
Assembly Inn, which was open
ed in 1929, carries on a long tra
dition of buildings made of natur
al rocks when' not only the out
er framework but the interior of
the building is furnished with
natural material.
Sparkling mica makes up the
interior of the building which is
lighted by lamps made of shells.
In the basement of the Inn is' the
Historical Foundation-, of the
Presbyterian Church - in which
there is a collection of rare books,
records, and Church furnishings.
For out-of-door sports in the
summer-time and beauty in cold
er weather, Lake Susan is located
in the center of the religious con
ference place and Montreat Col
lege for girls also located there.
About a mile from Assembly
Inn and overlooking it is Look

Another hike, this .time to
Mount Mitchell, has been planned

feet in altitude, is located 17
miles from Assembly Inn, if one
is hiking directly or 40 miles
away if one travels part of the
way by car.
Registration for attendance to
