at the lop of their voices "Here
Comes Carolina, 'Una" and
shouting "Beat Duke in 'SO.",
During the entire 10 minute
that they were on West Cam

response from Duke students.
The campus, in fact, was quiet
and empty.
Suddenly the bitter truth
dawned on one of the Tar Heels.
Duke's spring vacation began

Selby Slams
Tuition Rate,
Hike In Fees
Independent presidential can
didate Toby Selby lashed out at
the cost of student living yester
day and railed for the "lifting of
the burden" of the present tui
tion rate.
Selby charged that both the
present tuition rate and the re
cent raise in block fees were
"noxious thorns - in the side of
desircrs of an education," and
called on students to put an end
to "such nonsensical action."
Pointing out that "the number
of self-help students has risen to
over 1200 applicants in the past
few years," Selby said the tuition
rate and the block fee raise had
made student government a
"farce."
Ho called for a "university
campus where a person may re
ceive an education and not .be
held back by the impossibility of
procuring funds."
Selby urged the student body
to "put a man in' office who' is
not afraid to take a chance ,on
having these burdens lifted."
The candidate also charged that
campus . political parties had
"railroaded" the block fee raise,
was announced yesterday.

"To my knowledge, there is

instructor and craftsman said
recently in his shop on the
ground floor of the chemistry
building. "I would even say there

WASHINGTON, March 27
P) FBI Chief J. Edgar Hoov

disclosure of the FBI's secret
files would cripple the agency
and' "smear" innoceni persons.;
It might also jeopardize the"
lives of confidential FBI in
formants, besides tipping val-'
' uablc information to foreign
spies, he said. -.
Hoover was joined by U. S-.
Attorney General J. Howard
McGrath . iri " ah ardent plea
against opening up the FBI
loyalty records to Senate Com
munist hunters.
McGrath said a public air-.
ing of the' records would ser-'.
iously Impair the government's
loyalty program and declared'
the files should be preserved
in strict confidence.
Hoover and McGrath testi
fied at a jam-packed hearing
before a Senate Foreign Re
lations Subcommittee which
has been investigating charges
by Republican Senator Mc
Carthy of Wisconsin that the
State Department has become
infested with Communists and
fellow travelers.
Their refusal to open the
records capped a day of rapid

Hart said that "peace-loving na
tions probably have enough time
to achieve world security by
consent, if organized collective
intelligence is fully and system
atically applied to the problem.
"The beginnings of world de
mocracy already exist," he said.
"Twelve nations have demon
strated, during the past 135
years, that democracies-can work
out their international relations
without warring against each
other, and to their mutual pros
perity and security. These coun
tries arc the United States,
Great Britian, Canada, New Zea

Norway and Denmark; France,

and Belgium."
World cooperation by consent
can be expanded if the United

J unior Coll ege Is Now
Peoples College-House
ROANOKE, Va., March 27
(A) A North Carolina educa
tor said , here last night that
the Junior colleges of America
now stand prccisey where
the secondary school stood 20
years ago as the area for the
nation's next forward step in
education.
Dr. Robert B. House, chan
cellor of the University of
North Carolina, spoke before
some 450 ..delegates at the ' in
formal dinner opening the
30th annual convention of the
American ' Association of Jun
ior Colleges.
"The education of all Amer
ican youth can become a real
ity if this institution can be
developed to its ultimate goal
by public and privately sup
ported institutions," Dr.
House declared. "It (the junior
college) has become the peo
ple's college."
Most of the opening session
of the four-day conference was
devoted to final preparation of
reports by the "association's
standing committees for the
convention's official start to
morrow. 1
At that time, the delegates
Borello Gives Platform;
Asks Negro Entrance
Independent student body
presidential candidate Joe Bor
ello, latest of four candidates to
enter the race, released his plat
form yesterday, promising a
four-point program.
Borello promised, if elected, to
work for admittance of Negroes
to graduate schools, removal of
questions on political affiliation
from University employee ques
tionaires, lowered tuition rates,
and elimination of "discrimina
tion against women" in some
departments.
Charging that student govern
ment has failed to make itself an
intergal part. of student life, be
cause of the lack of a "consist
ant and systematic" program of
student body action, the candi
date also asked for re-employ
ment of two instructors denied
jobs for refusing to sign a non-
Communist oath.
He asserted that student gov
ernment had failed to "protect
the student body from encroach
ment by the administration" in
the fields of academic freedom
and Negro admittance.
Borello also charged the pres
ent student government with
failing to present a program that
would "encourage social and po
litical expression." In entering
the race, he had said that stu
dent government should parallel
that of the national government
in taking stands on national and
international problems. ' '
President of the Young Pro-;
gressives Club, : Borello entered
the race for president Tuesday
by filing a 28-name petition with
the Elections Board.
He opposes John Sanders
(SP), Don Van Noppen (UP),
and independent Toby Selby in
the fight for. the top campus of

speeches in support of their can

Governor John S. Battle and
will hear a keynote address .
delivered by Dr. Douglas
Southall - Freeman, Richmond
historian.
The report of the legislative
committee was the only one
completed and endorsed by
the association's board of di
rectors at its first session. The
committee recommended local
control of junior colleges, as
the best means of making
them responsive to the de
mands of the community
It was suggested that local
administrators of junior col
leges . be placed under . state
supervision and that state and
local appropriations . may be
the most effective means of
financing junior colleges.
A fight on the convention
floor loomed over the admin
istrative committee's study of
possible affiliation with the
national Junior College Ath
letic Association. The report
is scheduled to be given to
the delegates Tuesday after
noon if directors cannot agree
on its terms.
