CHAPEL HILL, N. C. WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 30, 1952
NUMBER 88

Constitutional
In an open meeting Monday
night University Party represen
tatives voted disapproval of the
Student Legislature's recently
proposed Constitutional ammend
ment which would cut the legis
lature from 50 to 35 members.
The proposed amendment will
be brought before a student ref
erendum on Tuesday, February
12 to decide its existence.
After a discussion on the rea
sons for and against the cut, the
members decided that the party
should discourage such a decrease
in legislature membership.
Party chairman Biff Roberts
voiced the opinions of the rep- j
resentatives in a statement after
the meeting Said Roberts: !
"The move is not a healthy one
for a student government which
is in poor health right now. For
the past few years student gov
ernment has been" drifting away
from the students on the campus
into the hands of a select few
from both political parties. This
lack of interest on the part of the
students as a whole is the main
weakness in student government
at the present time."
'Through this amendment the
Student Legislature would lose
15 of its members thus cutting
15 persons out of a chance to serve
in student government. This is
definitely not a move to increase
campus interest in student gov
ernment. "There are approximately 5,000
students on this campus," Roberts
continued, "and it seems to me
that we can find 50 capable per
sons from that number to fill Leg
islature seats."
"The Student Legislature is the
foundation of all student govern
ment and it should have a suf
ficient number of places not only
for the old and learned politicians
but also for the younger students
who wish to participate in student
""''"MS,,.

"It is impossible," Roberts add
ed," to increase student participa
tion in campus government by de
creasing the number of positions
open for students in that govern
ment. Therefore the party has
gone on record in opposition to
the proposed ammendment. It
just isn't a feasible plan."

editorship in spring elections. j
He made his statement prior
to the nominating meetings of
the campus' ' two political
groups, the University and Stu
dent parties.
His statement in full:
"I willjnot run for editor of
The Daily Tar Heel this spring
under any circumstances. I
have never wanted to be editor.
It's simply a case of -likes and
dislikes, and I don't want the
job of editor, on this paper.
"However, I appreciate the
confidence : shown in me by
those who have asked if I
would run. As such, I feel it
proper for me to positively re
move my name at this time to
forestall any strategic with
drawals later and giving my
'support' to another candidate. .
"May the best man be nomin
ated, and please for the paper's
sake -r- may "he win."

editorial npsition od the paper

ship itself.
He has been mentioned as a
candidate this year as well as
last year. Academic ineligibility
caused his name to be with
drawn from Student Party

"Mexican Village":
Authoress Niggli's Book
Slated For April Filming
Author Posephine Niggli, home
in Chapel Hill between trips to
Hollywood, said the filming of
her best seller, "Mexican Village,"
will begin in ApriL The picture
will probably be released in the
fall. . - '
The screen version will be shot
on location in Mexico with an all
Mexican cast except for the prin
cipals. "We are waiting for clouds
now, because much of the script
calls for exteriors," said Miss
Niggli
' Hollywood scouts are' hunting
locations now. Miss Niggli ex
plained that a picture is seldom
filmed completely - in the same
place, for in order to use authenic
buildings often several different
towns will be used. "For instance,"
she said, "a girl may come out of
a door way in one town and in
the next scene step into a square
of a town 30 miles away."
"The film, ; which will be -done
in technicolor, consists of three of
the ten stories which originally
appeared in the book and is de
signed to show the different
economic levels of a Mexican
village. Jack Cummings is : pro
ducing the picture and Norman
Foster is director-co-writer.
"Mexican "Village" will feature
some of the brightest stars of-the

Carolina alumni are paying for
the education of a high school stu
dent and Carolina prospect but
such practice is done everywhere,
a Durham sports editor says.
Colleges in this area are aiding
potential ? football players com
plete high school so they can play
for the school which subsidized
them. Jack Horner, sports editor
of The Durham Morning Herald
said last night.
,"It's common knowledge," Horn
er pointed out,, that colleges,
through alumni, support high
school players. Colleges in this
area as well as others help sup
port future football stars through
pre-college years. .He cited Notre
Dame and this University as ex
amples. In a recent column, Horner
wrote, "Carolina" is paying" for a
Fork Union Military Academy
(Va.) quarterback in the hope
that he will come here. But other
schools such as Duke and perhaps,
Maryland, hope to convince the
student, Leonard Bullock of Ay
den, "to come to their schools.
Horner said "kinf oiks" had in
formed him that Bullock was be

Story. . Although The Bullfight
Story has not yet been cast, Miss
Niggli said that studio officials
are considering Elizabeth Taylor
and Victor Mendoza, Mexican
actor, for the lead roles. These
parts will be the most difficult in
the film, according to Miss Niggli.
A graduate of the University in
1937, Miss Niggli was born in
Monterey, Mexico. She now lives
in Chapel Hill -with her mother,
Mrs. G. M. Niggli, retired concert
pianist. Miss Niggli has been asso
ciated with the Carolina Play
makers since, 1935 and still occa
sionally acts with the group.
