of the various schools participate

About Suit
University officials declined
comment on a possible suit
arising from a Trustee regulation
and. administrative ruling that
banning mixed dances on campus
yesterday.
C. O. Pearson, regional attorney
for the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored
People, said, Thursday that a
court suit could very possibly
develop since the rulings are not
State law. Pearson said the case
might be based upon a U. S.
supreme court ruling on segre
gation at the University of Okla
homa where a Negro student was
told he "must receive the same
treatment at the hands of the
state as students of other races"
since he had been admitted to
a state supported graduate school.
Meanwhile, discussion at the
Law School where students had
planned and voted to have a
dance this spring, hit a low as

Is Connp!
University vice-president W. D.
Carmichael said yesterday that a
report upon the current investiga
tion of a maintenance supervisor
here will be released as soon as
the probe is completed.
Carmichael's statement thus re
futed rumors that an attempt is
being made by the University to
suppress the findings of the inves
tigation committee.
The probe of the supervisor, al
leged to have used State-owned
materials and labor in the build
ing of his home, is still being con
ducted, he said.
He was unable, however, to in
dicate a date for the completion,
of the investigation and subse
quent report to the public.

Philosophy department head
Dr. Louis O. TCattsoff will talk
to Chapel Hill's Altrusa club
about "thought defense" on
Thursday, January 24.
At the meeting, club members
will have opportunity to question
Dr. Kattsof f about the program
which he has sponsored actively
during past months to combat the
half-truths often used in com
munist propaganda.
, It; is the idea of Dr, Kattsoff
that the American people must be
come better acquainted with the
doctoring '- spreading techniques
coming from behind the Iron Cur
tain in-order to fight them ef
fectively. He has recorded several
speeches at the Communications
Center for radio broadcast as well

Student leaders said that the
question of whether the dance
would be held or not would come
up when the Law Association
Legislature meets soon after
exams. The students had approved
by an 82-63 vote to have the
dance here. There are five Negro
student members of the Law
School Association.
Consolidation
Is Praised
By Harrelson
. Consolidation of the three
institutions, the University
here. State College at Raleigh
and the Woman's College at
Greensboro, is on of the
greatest blessings that has ever
come to North Carolina, Chan
cellor John W. Harrelson of
State College said at a meeting
of the Rotary Club here this
Chancellor Harrelson said
that consolidation probably
should have been carried even
further to include the teacher's
colleges of the State "to give
us a better coordinated pro
gram in all fields of education."
it received the results of an earli
er investigation here by the State
Bureau of Investigation and Dis
trict Solicitor William Murdock.
The jury, foremanned by UNC
Director of Admissions Roy Arm
strong, turned the case over to
Carmichael with a recommenda
tion that the University look into
the C. B. Huggins matter for fur
ther investigation and action."
Huggins is superintendent of
Woollen gymnasium and has
been connected with the Univer
sity for more than 20 years.
The supervisor is alleged to
have used University - owned
building materials and University-hired
labor in the construc
tion of his home.
Following the receipt of the
Grand Jury and S.B.I. report,
Carmichael sent a letter to all
members of the faculties and
staffs of the Greater University
cautioning them against 'Viola
tion of the laws of North Caro
lina" by committing such abuses.
The letter asserted that such
practices would "not be tolerated
under any circumstances."
What the S.B.I, investigation
here last fall actually uncovered
has never been mdae public and
University officials have consis
tently declined to comment on the
affair.
