Honor Council Dismisses
First Case; No Evidence
By David E. Buckner
Violation of the Honor Code charges for "lying brought
against Student President Henry Bowers, Rolfe NeiU and Mas
White, two student journalists formerly associated with The
Daily Tar Heel, were dismissed with no decision by the Men's
Council last night for lack of,positive evidence.
However, Campus Code charges of "character assasination
were brought against White and Neill by President Bowers
and a hearing by the Council on the new charges -was set
for 3:30 p.m- on Tuesday, October 23, in the Men's Council
room in, Graham Memorial.
In the summons presented to . : -
White at the conclusion of last
night's two hour and fifteen min-
ute investigation, it was alleged
that he had "committed character
assasination by what was written
in his ; article published (in The
Daily Tar Heel) on October 14,
1951."
. Neill's summons was issued for
alleged "character assasination by
what was written in his article
published (in The Daily Tar Heel)
on October 14, 1951.
In bringing the new charges
against the two, Bowers was re
ported to have said, "After care
ful consideration .1 decided I had
been insidiously slandered by ir
responsible journalism . . . (We
have had) irresponsible journal
ism not only in this case but over
the past few years.
White, who is majoring in jour
nalism here, is a former news
editor of jthe Daily Tar Heel. '
Neill, a staff member of The
Daily Tar Heel from the time
he entered the. University two
years ago until late last spring,
has held positions ranging from
cub reporter, to deskman, news
editor, managing editor and ex
ecutive editor. He is now pres
ident of the North Carolina
Collegiate Press Association and
winner of the first place award

On p Day
- There will be lots of free-reeling
this UN Day here on campus.
The United Nations Day Commit
tee has planned for three films to
be shown October 24, in Gerrard
Hall. The series of three will be
shown five times durng'the day
9:00 ajn., 12:00 noon, on the
hour, and at 4:30 p.m. There will
be no . admission charge for stu
dents wishing to see the films.
The filmsjvere chosen to illus
trate several ; phases of work
which. ', the .United Nations is do
ing. : fOrie ! is h a ? cartoon "The
Brotherhood ' of j 'Man," and the
other twc : are documentary films
v " j t ouu j.
is the UN (part two)." "The totaf
running time for the three selec
tions is 41 minutes. - . ' '
- !The Brbtherhood of Man", is
in technicolor. ; It i is an important
story of human relationships told
in an amusing fashion. j
Be
for news writing last year.
Explaining the decisions reach
ed by the Council last night,
chairman Allen Milledge said
that , "the case resolved into a
deadlock o,f diametrically opposed
testimony. - Under the Honor
System the veracity of both sides
must be accepted unless there
is .additional evidence. However
charges of irresponsible journa
lism have been brought to the
Council upon which charges it
intends to act."
He defined the term "irrespons
ible journalism" as "character
assasinations bv unprovable assert
tions."
The original charges for lyinl
against White and Neill wera
brought by. President Bowers
and Bowers was. in turn charged
by the Council.
; Last night's hearing, which be
gan at 9:30 brought fortii for the
most part only conflicting state ,
ments and claims' from the tw
opposing factions, it was learned. ,
Chief dispute centered around
the statement "House:' hj- not
come to me. Why shouT io to
him?" which White and Neill
claimed had been made by the
Student Body President on the
evening of October 4 in the Daily
Tar Heel office when asked why
he had failed to attend a meeting
of student organization leaders
by the students to protest the Uni
versity Administration's policy
of negro student segregation at
athletic events.
NeiU and White both swore
during yesterday's hearing that
Bowers had made the statement,
and Neill added, "It was typical
of hi attitude for the entire meet
ing," at which the statement was
allegedly made.
It was reported that Bowers,
when questioned on the alleged
statement last night, said I do
not recall making that statement.
If I ever made that statement it
was removed from contort -
placed in another context . . . It
would have been senseless for me
to say that." Dick Murphy,4formV
er attorney-seneral of the stu
dent body, who appeared at the
investigation upon a summons by
the council as a mateiral witness,
catergoncally denied" that such
a statement was mHf iwrnv.-w
- - flAAHJ
was present at the October 4 in
terview also.
A surprise witness was Jimmy,
Wallace, graduate student in his
tory, .who was also present in the
newspaper office during the inter
view, although seated1 in; an outer
office.
