VOLUME LIX Associated Press CHAPEL HILL, N. C. THURSDAY-rGTBER 2, 1950 United Press NUMBER is r tudent Editor Still In After Negro Editorial 'Oie Miss' Council Holds Off Motion Asking He Resign OXFORD, Miss., Nov. 1 (UP) The University of Mississinrji Student Council last night tabled a motion calling for the resigna tion' of the campus editor who ursed admission of Negro stu dents. The move was requested in a petition signed by some 45 stu dents, but the council decided to delay any action until next week. Albin Krebs of Pascagoula, ed itor of the student newspaper "Mississippian," signed an editor ial which said qualified Negro ap plicants should be admitted to the University School of Law "wheth er Southerners like it or not." The pigment of a man's skin must have nothing to do with the measurement of his ability," Krebs wrote. Chancellor J. D. Williams said the editorial did not represent the university's policy since state laws require segregation. A six-foot cross, wrapped m gasoline-soaked rags, was burned in front of the dormitory where Krebs lives but students later told him "we're just having some fun."

Harvard Mag Criticized Lampoon Parody Issue Called Filthy By Judge Special to The Daily Tar Heel r-AMRRinr.E. Mass.. Nov. 1 Harvard is in the hews again but this time the remarks are not favorable , to the renowned in stitution. A special edition of the Har vard Lampoon, college humor magazine, which was distributed before 1 the Dartmouth-Harvard football r game last Saturday, was called '"obscene" by District Court Judge Arthur P. Stone, who or dered newsstand copies seized. The Lampoon had printed a parody edition entitled "Pontoon" which featured reprints of its most successful cartoons. Cam bridge police confiscated nearly 300 copies that had been distrib uted to newsstands and burned them. The Acting Chief of Police then called for criminal action against those responsible for the publication. judg?. Stort?,. termed it .

The bill to investigate the student-merchant action was intro duced at last week's meeting by Paul Roth, University Party floor leader. Roth's bill calls for a com plete report to the Legislature one week after its enactment. A second bill, introduced by Bill Skinner, sergeant-at-arms, "at request of -officials of these organizations," would attempt to coordinate the work done by the University Club and the Card Board. Skinner's act would give the Card Board one member in the UC and make the head cheerleader an automatic member of the UC. ' The third bill would set the date for fall campus elections on Nov. 29, The runoff, under the bill's provision, would be held one week later, Dec. 6. Julian Mason, former Chairman of the Elec tions Board, is author of the bill.

The Lampoon staff replied, "The Lampoon is being blamed for the sins of all other college mag azines." Judge Stone said, however, that his court would take no ac tion against the editors of the publication, but recommended that the District Attorney and Harvard officials do so. The "Crimson," Harvard daily newspaper, followed up the is sue by printing a special edition of the paper that was an exact replica of the Daily Dartmouth. The issue contained the startling news that Tuss McLaughry, head football coach at Dartmouth had resiened from his position and had been replaced by former Har vard coach Dick Harlowe. The hoax was termed one of the most successful in the history of the paper. & - illiii mmmmmmm- ::::-:-:-:-:-x;:;::::::::i:':K:'Sf r UniqueAngle is Introduced Into RE Week Religious Emphasis Week, which begins Nov." 12 and con tinues through' Nov. 16, has turned to a unique system for its program, an improvement over last year's proceedings.

Questionnaires were sent out to each group to determine which questions were most prevalent in the minds of the students.
