Minor Gwynn, education professor here for many years aiM widely recognized authority in the area of school curriculum, has been invited to teach at both ses sions of the 1953 Summer Session at the University of Minnesota. In taking 'the 'summer lectures on curriculum at Minnesota, Dr. Gwynn will replace Dr. Nelson L. Bossing, a national figure in cur riculum planning, who will teach for the summer at the University of California at Los Angeles. Dr. Gwynn will work with graduate stu dents only, in the areas of curricu lum and secondary education. DDr. Gwynn is the author of "Curriculum Principles and Social Trends recently published in its second edition and widely used throughout the United States as a textbook in schools, colleges and universities. At Chapel Hill he teaches regu lar classes in education, is director of the curriculum laboratory, the Peabody education library and serves on several permanent boards in the School of Education.

"Widespread an xiety on this score has been whip ped up by columnists and politi cians who assert day after day that our schools and colleges are rid dled with Communists ..." Dr. Chafee said he agreed with those who say that one Communist in a university is one too many, but he also agreed with a dean at the University of California who said that the harm done to that univer sity by the uproar over the loyalty oath far exceeded any possible harm that could have been done by any real Communist professor?. Dr. Chafee expressed the opinion that "the number of real Commun- ists in schools and or in endowed or state universities is probably very small," but he contended that ferreting out the few possible Com munists by loyalty oaths or other testing methods is "a grievous mis take." Taking as his general theme, "Freedom in Special Situations," Dr. Chafee, who will speak again in Hill Hall tonight and Thursday nights at 8:30, discussed specifical ly the freedom of teachers in schools and colleges tonight. "The largest part of these lectures," he said, "will be devoted to freedom of speech because it is the most vulnerable human right.'

Dr. Hedgpeth says it seems reasonable that this cam pus could be similarly affected. To prevent an epidemic here, the infirmary has obtained enough vaccine for a majority of the student body, making it available on a voluntary basis, Dr. Hedgepeth said. One dose of vaccine is suffi cient, but the time . element is most important, he added. Hours for obtaining the vac cine are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. today through Friday, and 9 a.m. to noon Saturday.

(Spe cial) Two steps for a $21,680,000 permanent improvements program for state colleges and institutions were outlined by Gov. James F. Byrrnes recently in his annual speech to the General Assembly. The colleges will be allowed to embark on a $10,000,000 long range building program financed by bonds issued against tuition fees. In addition, state colleges would split an immediate $11,681,000 ap propriation from the state surplus with charitable institutions and the state penitentiary. The Governor also came out for a 10 percent payhike for school teachers, a one-third increase in state aid for school construction and a training school for mentally I retarded Negro children. , I ," V I Sit x -ST! ., Pro T Carolina Prof Says Thanks For Fine Meal By Rolfe Neill BURLINGTON, Jan. 20. It was a splendid meal that the pastor's wife had fixed; they all agreed. And when the Presbytery de cided to thank Mrs. Chester Alex ander by resolution for her noon time efforts and the moderator put it to a vote, there was a ques tion from the back of the sanctu ary: "Can visitors vote on this one?" Dr. Wallace Caldwell of the UNC History Department wanted to know. A Visitor at today's Charlie Jones hearing," Dr. Caldwell had accepted the invitation to enjoy one of the 125 lunches Mrs. Alexander and her helpers prepared: More than 30 from Chapel Hill were present in the beautiful old First Presbyterian Church of Bur lington. Dr. Frank Graham was a sur prise principal in the meeting to day. He flew in from his United Nations job in New York Monday night and returned back to the big city by plane last night. The former Consolidated University president, who is also an elder in the Chapel Hill Church, was the church's attorney here today. .

The Presbytery met for nearly six hours but spent three of those six hours in reading mimeographed reports which were distributed weeks earlier in the case of two documents and several days earlier in the case of the third brief . During the testimony on Chapel Hill some interesting statistics were bandied about. The Judicial Com mission (investigating Jones and his church) said Chapel Hill now has about 15,000 year-round resi dents and that over 900 students in the University are Presbyteri ans. Miss Mary Gilson, an ardent Jones supporter and daughter of a Presbyterian minister, forgot her rank as a spectator at one point in the deliberations and chorused a vigorous "No" when a parliamen tary question was put to the min isters.

Daily Tar Heel photo by Ruffin Woody. To By Manning Munt'zing The Campus Chest, previously the one drive on campus to eliminate many drives, will be split this year into two campaigns. This is the decision of the Campus Chest Board. The idea of a split campaign will be the method used- unless strong objection is voiced by a majority of the members of the Chest Board absent from Mon day afternoon's meeting in the YMCA. Chairman Stuart Jones pointed out, "The consolidated campaign conducted in last year's effort for funds for the different drives was extremely low in comparison to surrounding schools and the size of Carolina. "The outstanding point for keep ing the Campus Chest consolidated is the soliciting of students and faculty members only once. But it seems that only so much can be ab sorbed concerning the campaign. When there are so many causes rep resented in one drive, it is hard to make clear the entire purpose of each part of the drive. After all, people do like to know what they are giving to." Using the split plan, Jones be lieves that more knowledge con cerning the different aspects of the drive and their uses can be publi cized resulting in higher contribu tions. .Jones said, "It's really not so much how the .money is raised, but rather the problem of getting con tributions up to where they have been previously and where they belong." In 1949, $4,300 was raised by the Campus Chest here. Under the two campaign plan, the international phase of.it will be conduced first, with Feb. 15-22 the probable dates. This aspect of the Chest includes the Worrld Student Service Fund commonly known as the WSSF. Tht WSSF has among its activi ties the furnishing of books and supplies in countries that have a special need for them. The uni versities of Europe were helped considerably after World War II and aid has been extended in the Far East, as well, in the form of new buildings for universities. The second phase of the cam paign starting approximately two weeks later, Jones said, "will in- elude the national, and more speci - cally, the state or local drives which the Campus Chest covers as the cancer drive, heart drive, March of Dimes drive and others to be designated by the Chest Board. The polio drive, though, will re (See FIRST, page 4)" iipi Us, A j dropped into town not lona aob rntouS'-'Unves Time Writer Tells Views Of News Mag "Wherever history is in the making, there you'll find the re porter, particularly the Ameri can reporter," Frank Shea, for eign correspondent for Time magazine, said! here recently. During a day filled with talks to several different groups, Shea stopped to tell an assembly of journalism students, "What makes Time Tick." "We (Time) like to present the news along with our view as to which side of it is right. We make no claim to complete objectivity," he said. In setting forth Time's hasic approach to journalism, he said, "We assume that there are sev eral sides to a story, geographi cally speaking. The foreign cor respondent writes his copy from the local angle. The Washington or New York editors then add the applicable points of view of other peoples and governments." "There is a morally sincere ef fort to pour all the raw material possible into a published piece," Shea said. "Every correspondent has a researcher to assist him and check his accuracy. Qften several books are read, thousands of words are written and sub mitted to the editors for one brief published story." Until recently, Shea acted as, Buenos Aires bureau for Time and its companion magazine, Life. JJ. Aviation Cadet Selection An Aviation Cadet Selection team under the direction of Major R.

F? iryp Pastor Feels He May Win Heresy Case By Walt Dear BURLINGTON, Jan. 20 A mod ern day heresy trial ended here this afternoon with the fate of the Rev. Charles M. Jones undecided. The meeting was called to hear the report of Orange Presbytery's Judicial Commission, appointed six months ago to investigate the Chap el Hill church and its pastor. After hours of argument which sometimes became bitterly person al, the Presbytery decided to let the Judicial Commission have the final say on whether Mr. Jones would go or stay. From the makeup of the commis sion and the opinions expressed by some of its members here today, it appeared Mr. Jones is sure to go. However, supporters of Jones hope that differences can be resolved. The commission had asked Jones to resign in December. He declined With the go-ahead sign from Presbytery (by a 54-21 vote), the ! Commission can dissolve the pas toral relationship of Jones with his I church, set up a church program jthat more nearly conforms to Pres- byterianism, as outlined by the com mission, or it can bring charges for unfrocking of Jones as a Presby terian minister. at the time. While members of the commis sion were unavailable for comment, church 1 officials seemed optimistic about future meetings with the com- I mission to iron out differences. (Yesterday's meeting served to clar- ; r ai 1 1 - r At - u.y uie aumuriiy oi ine commission. A motion to let the commission supervise the church until Decem ber was soundly defeated. Intro duced by Rev. Chester Alexander of Burlington church, the proposal would have suspended Jones from February to September and set up a period of "observation" for the commission to hear Jones preach on a trial basis and to find out his views. Dr. Robert J. McMullen, acting pastor (Jones is on leave with the Save the Children foundation at Kingsport, Tenn.) pinpointed op position to Alexander's proposal when he said "December 31st means a funeral of a wonderful church and the frustration of a wonderful people." As spokesman for the congrega tion, Dean Henry Brandis also point ed out that the suspension and trial preaching period would toe regard ed as "deliberate humilation" of congregation and that such an act would leave ' the "deepest scars." A motion to dissolve the com mission and to accept the counter proposals made by the local church to correct any "irregularities" was defeated. Commenting on the commission's report, Brandis said, "It is possible to differ with the report. You get an impression of the church differ ent from that held by those in the church itself. He noted that the questionaire given to church of ficers would prove a stumbling block for the officers of any church in the Presbytery. "The real issue is whether there is a place in the framework of Southern Presbyter ianism for the officers and pastor. Because several members of the Presbytery have questioned his be liefs, Jones himself spoke before the Presbytery. He outlined his religious beliefs, saying that the fundamental doctrines are so "sim ple" that when you tell the man on the street about them, he under stands them." Dr. Graham, in what some observ ers called one of his greatest speeches, was vehement in his de (See PRESBYTERY, page 4) RED CROSS TODAY The Red Cross Entertainment Committee will meet at 5 p.m. today in the director's office, Graham Memorial.
