Leonard Tells Open Caucus Legislature To Get Measure For Fee Raise Referendum By Roy Parker, Jr. Plans to introduce a bill call ing for an "advisory," but binding, student referendum on the block fee raise question were revealed BRIDGEPORT, Conn., Feb. 2 JP) Carol Ann Paight, her calmness giving way to choked emotions, tearfully testified to day that she couldn't remember killing her incurably ill father. The 21-year-old blonde, de fending herself against a second degree murder charge with a plea of temporary insanity, testi fied that she recalled hearing a physician tell her her "dad is riddled with cancer." "That's ; all 1 can remember," she said in a low, quivering voice. With her lawyer, David Gold- stem, spacing his questions to give her a chance to control her self, Carol Ann her lips pressed tightly, her hand clutching a white handkerchief told an all- parent jury in the mercy murder trial that she loved her father, Police Sgt.

Thursday night we will try again, and this time we hope to have at least 500 sta dents on hand." . . .

The program, Allston said will be even bigger and better than the one that was prepared for the State rally. A . committee of University Club members is at. work now on preparation for the rally, which it hopes will be one of the biggest ones the University has had. "We showed the football team that we were behind them even after they lost to LSU," Allston said, "Now is the time to show the basketball players that we think just as much of them." j The., rally will begin promptly at 7 o'clock and will last an hour.

By Wuff Newell Don't tell anybody, but a sui cide has just been discovered in the Alpha Gamma Delta House. When Barbara Crawford went to the Infirmary two weeks ago, her parting words to her room mates were "Take care of my goldfish.'.' Her roommates, know ing that Sallie and Alice, the two litle fish in the glass bowl, were Barbara's pride and joy, promised on bended knee to treat the little creatures as if they, were their very own. And then it happened. Two days before Barbara was to come home, Sallie died. At 7 o'clock in the evening Tommie Olive the little goldfish floating on top of the water. Death, it was de cided, came as the result of lone liness. The little fish missed Bar bara so much it had chosen to die. ' But who should tell Barbara the sad news. No one dared to let her know the sad fate of little Sallie, so Tommie decided to pur chase a new fish the next morning. The next morning, a sorority sister who had heard the sad news offered to lend JTommie a fish until she could get a new one. And then a few hours before Barbara telephoned that she was ready to come home, Peggy Neal presented Tommie with another fish that she no longer wanted. found the cold, lifeless body ofJAt last the fish bowl was happy again. For two weeks Barbara's room mates have kept the secret of Sallie's death, and for two weeks Barbara has been under the false impression that Sallie II is really Sallie I. Yesterday, however, the girls could keep their secret no longer So now Barbara knows that the little fish swimming happily in her fishbowl is not her own. gold fish, but an adopted one. But Barbara is not sad, because she knows that her beloved Sallie had a proper f uneraL For while Tommie flushed the little fish into the watery depths of the sewer her other roommate opened her prayer book and reverently read the service for a burial at sea. TAIPEI, Formosa, Feb. 2 W) A formal charge that Chin ese Communist troops have en tered Indo-China was made today by the Chinese Nationalist de fense ministry. The Nationalists' Central News Agency has reported this twice, and the French have denied it both times. In its statement making the assertion official, the defense ministry said the intruders be longed to the Red 45th Army, part of Gen. Linpiao's forces. It said they had reached the vicini ties of Caobang and Langson, 15 and 9 miles inside Indo-China The defense ministry said Lin iao also had massed his 38th Army on the border and that his purpose was to help the guerrilla forces of Ho Chi-Minh. The cen tral News Agency said "thous ands" of Chinese Reds already had been incorporated into Ho's forces. Ho's socalled "Vietnam Repub lie." in rebellion against the French, has been officially recog nized by Russia and the Chinese Communists. Independent confirmation of the Chinese Nationalists' allegations is impossible, but they seem to have convinced themselves that they are correct. In Bangkok, Thailand, Ho Chi- Mingh's "news service" reported hat his forces in the past two weeks had killed 4,000 of 20,000 Chinese Nationalist soldiers flee ing into Indo-China near Caobang. S And F Tryouts Are Set Tonight Tryouts for the new Sound and Fury winter show will be held tonight at 7:30 in Memoria Hall, President Mark Barker said yesterday.

There will be a skit. complete with . appropriate cos tume and dialogue, to represent each decade in the first half of the 20th century. block fee structure to University Party open caucus in Di Hall meeting to hear a panel discus sion on the fee question. The referendum would give the students a choice whether or not to raise the $5 per quarter .$3.85 for graduate students) fee by one dollar, Leonard said. - The referendum is not necessary under the student constitution, Leonard explained, since that document gives the Student Leg islature power to raise student fees up to $20 during the fall-win ter-spring school year. , However, he said under an agreement with the Executive Committee of the Board of Trus tees, passed when the block fee was instituted in 1947, any raise over $5 per quarter must be clear ed through the Executive Com mittee, unless student government wants to take it upon itself to collect the fees. At present, the University ad ministration, under orders from the Committee, collects the fees with its bills and turns them over to student government. The com mittee must give the go-ahead to the administration for addi tional collections. If he referendum passes, it will be an "advisory" opinion for the Executive Committee. Leonard explained, "and also, we feel that the students should be able to ex press an opinion on such a mat ter, although not constitutionally required or needed of them." The referendum would require a ma jority, of those voting in the elec tion 'to "pass. . . . To help the Legislature "from getting behind in budget consid eration if such a bill goes through, Treasurer Andy Cornish, a mem ber of the discussion panel, said he would introduce two budgets to the body, one based on the un raised fee collections, one based on the raised-fee collections. The raised-fee budget would contain a "rider" which would declare the first null and void if the raise were approved. Guaranteed appropriations, graduate fees, and need for in creased services were the main points of the panel discussion group, composed of Leonard, Cornish, Student Activities Fund auditor Harry Kear, Budget Com mittee head Dick Gordon, and Publications Board Chairman Chuck Hauser. V a. Politico To Talk Here Francis Pickens Miller, recent Virginia gubernatorial candidate, will speak at 3 o'clock today in a seminar discussion of "The Fu ture of Political Parties in the South." The talk will be held in Caldwell, Room 105. A Rhodes Scholar at Oxford University, Miller served 1923-38 as chairman of the World's Stu dent Christian Federation. He was on the staff of the Council on Foreign Relations in New York from 1938 to 1941. An author, he has written sev eral books on theology and poli tics. Miller rose to the rank of colonel in the General Staff Corps during the war. As a member of the House of Delegates in Virginia, Miller was named on the honor roll of the Richmond Times - Dispatch, for Conspicuous Service to Virginia. General consensus on the need for a raise was that it would be desirable. Hauser said it was nec essary to "guarantee" appropria tions, Cornish because it would mean a larger operating surplus and provide better services, and Gordon because it would keep the financial wolf away from some campus organization doors that face cutbacks unless more money is made available. Agreement that the graduate fee of $3.85 should not be raised to the undergraduate $5, but sim ply one dollar, was also general. Gordon explained that the $1.15 difference was used by the grad uate organizations to pay for Yackety-Yacq space that is al-Yackety-Yack space that is al uate fee, and that there would be little or no saving if it were add ed to the graduate block fee. Gray Speaks University president-apparent Gordon Gray, who wouldn't tell the Daily Tar Heel how he felt about Ihe offer, expressed his views on the subject in this week's Time magazine. "I have decided to devote the rest of my life to public service," the Army Secretary asserted, "and I would rather do it in North Carolina than anywhere else." Time said: "There is no doubt that Gray wants to go back home."
