Jones, pastor of the local church, to resign or be fired, yesterday challenged the right of the congregation to as semble and discuss the problems raised by the commission's de mands. Charles W. Perry, of High Point, said "They had no authority to special post-sermon session which the congregation held - Sunday. Perry, who is also chairman of the Presbytery Council, the execu tive committee of the Orange Pres bytery, said that when the Orange Presbytery gave the commission full authority to conclude the lo cal church matter, "They gave us a vote of confidence." He said that the commission had informed the church that all ac tion taken by its officers, pastor, acting pastor or congregation must meet with the approval of the com mission, At the "unauthorized" meeting Sunday, however, Dr. Robert J.

At least two church officers ad vocated bolting the Southern Pres byterian Church rather than yield to the demands of the commis sion. Deacon Thomas M. Stanback said that if Mr. Jones "is kicked out . . . there are many of us who will not see fit to worship within the church that has repudiated (his) type of ministry." He suggested the es tablishment of a "community church," and, added, It (such a church) willVhave to be spontane ous but we could carry on under Charlie Jones ministry." Dr. Ray Gould, clerk of the ses sion, simply declared, "I goif Charlie Jones goes." Others opposed the suggested split from the parent body. Dr. John Graham, an elder, said "We've got to stay in and fight." He also added, "We are losing ground in the face of the growing threat to our national security."

He said that Perry, the man who now says the con gregation has no authority to as semble, telephoned Mr. Jones 12 months ago and suggested that he take the next job offered him, in order to prevent any possible in vestigation. Mr. Jones was told 'they'd call off the dogs if he quietly too"k the next job that came along, that there's been, no holy-handed ter ror," Graham said. Perry commented Sunday that he made the phone call unofficially after talking , to members of the Presbytery Council which he chair ed. Graham, however, charged that five of these council members were appointed to the 10-man com mission. He indicated that this was a mechanism of the Presbytery to "stack" the commission in favor of the anti-Jones element. Graham (See JONES, page 4) the American and growing Soviet Far East air forces.

The last hope that ony of the 46 pedsons on a State College Tells Politics On Used Books RALEIGH, Feb. 16 (Special) L. L. Ivey, manager of student stores at State College, said here recenty that books are purchased from student customers at 50 per cent to 75 per cent discount from the new price. In a report supplied to three student and six faculty members, Ivey said 50 per cent of the new price of a book is paid to the customer when the book on ap proved list is to be used within the next two succeeding quarters. Twenty-five per cent of the new price of a book is paid to the customer when the book has been discounted as an officially adopted text. , The report on "Textbook Policy of the Student Supply Stores" stat ed that sales of used books are made at 25 per cent to 33 1-3 per cent discount from the list prices. ; However, the report continued, there are exceptions to this and the range of discounts can vary from 20 per cent to greater than 75 per cent rrom the list prices. 'Sales of new books, according to the report, are made at pub lishers' list prices. .

GREENSBORO The North Carolina Methodist . Student Con ference urged yesterday . that ra cial segregation, be abolished in the . state's seven Methodist uni versities and colleges. After a three-day forum on race policies at Greensboro College here, 200 mem bers of the conference approved a resolution, with one dissenting vote, to "break down the bars of segregation. We preach Christian principles and do not uphold' them We urge that immediate action be taken toward removing the stigma of segregation in church-affiliated schools." Besides Greensboro Col lege, other Methodist supported schools in the state are Duke, Pfeif fer Junior College, Louisburg Jun ior College, Brevard! Junior Col lege, High. Point. College' and- Bern nett Cbllega Snsiivuie's Life Fact's Outlined By John Jamison Carolina's five German students heard the story of the Institute of Government Thursday night di rect from its father, Albert Coates. Following a dinner at the Caro lina Inn, Coates told the Germans of the great need for such an or ganization back in the early 1920's, of its subsequent development, and of its functions and goals today. "The institute really began back in the 1920's when I was teaching a course in law," Coates said. "I discovered that only four tenths of one percent of the cases tried in North Carolina's : lower courts ever reached the Supreme Court for review." This indicated a "gap" between the law in the books and the law as it was practiced by local govern ments, Coates said. , "I investigated the high schools in the state, and found they were not really teaching civics and gov ernment to the yoijng people," he continued. This indicated the same "gap" between the law in the books and the law- as taught to the state's future citizens. Bridging that gap between the people and their government was the task of the young Institute of Government, Coates said. How was this task undertaken? The institute wrote and published scores of guidebeooks to acquaint local officials with the law as the books have - it. The guidebooks were distributed to every official in the state who might perform his job better from having read them. "Then we had to get them to read the books," Coates said. This brought the development of the institute's training schools courses lasting from one day to six weeks using the facilities in Chapel Hill. The institute has had more than 20,000 local government officials to attend these classes during the past 15 years. Coates said he ex pects to bring as many as 5,000 a year as his staff increases. Through the efforts of Henry Lewis, a member of the institute's staff, the number of legislative committees has been reduced from 52 to 25. The goal of the institute, Coates said, is "to - lift the standards of governmental performance in wortn Carolina up to ine very best." The Legislature's joint appropri ations committee is now consider ing a budget request of $500,000 to help build a new home for the Institute. This would be matched by an equal amount from the Knapp Foundation of North Caro lina. .

By Tom Parramore When 75 sandwiches are par alyzed into a Successful res--taurant, it's news. And that's ex actly what two Carolina students have: accomplished in- just four months. The restaurant is Chapel Hill's newest. It's the Colonial House, opened just a- week ago- todays by Messrs. Travis Porter and Earle' Litzenberger. It is the first student-operated establish' . ment to-operate here recently. -The story begins last October when Porter' and' Litzeilberger;. botfi seniors, started selling sandwiches. They prepared the sandwiches at their fraternity house and sold them at other. "fraternity Houses. Seventy-five' were sold the first night they hit the market. " At first the boys managed to handle everything themselves but soon the demand outdis tanced the supply. Two licensed kitchen-helpers and two delivery boys were acquired and still the market grew. Recently Porter and- Litzen berger found that: a small brick building on West Rosemary Street, was available for lease and their bratachild began1 to as sume greater proportions. They now' employ-' three" people and make an average ol 250 sand wiches each'- night. Steaks and complete meals are also a feature .of the new .business. ? . A beer" license" bias been" ap"' plied for and is expected to come in next Monday. Asked how they found time to handle their business, Porter commented: "When we get a chance to work, we usually do everything at once and get sev eral days ahead." Litzenberger is a geology major, while Porter majors in English. They live in an apartment" above' ttie' res taurant. Commenting on the ' first week's business, Porter had-this to say: . "We want to apologize to ' all1 thV people we could "not' accommodate Friday night after the Germans. We - weren't pre- . pared for such a rush but we promise not - to let it happen i again." - J. FRED MILLER Ken Myers Only Nominee In Opposition By Louis Kraar The Student Party last night patted Ken Penegar on the back and . officially named him their choice for president of the student body. Penegar, who won the party's approval unanimously, has been talked of as the SP candidate for several months, so the official dub bing was no surprise. Ken Myers, another long-time SP member, made an unsuccessful bid for the party's vote. He was the only opposition. Last night he was being mentioned as a possible, vice-presidential choice. Although he has mentioned running inde pendently for the presidency. Myers didn't get a vote. For the active Penegar the nom ination was a fulfillment of many years of "grooming." He was assis tant to both SP presidents John Sanders and Henry Bowers. Last spring he ran for secretary-treas urer, losing to candidate Ed Gross. A junior from Gastonia, Penegar has participated in cam pus activities since his freshman year. ' Penegar is the second member of his family to seek the highest posi tion in student government here. His brother Dick was nominated by the University Party in the Spring of 1951 but lost in a three way race to Henry Bowers (SP) who beat independent Ben James in a runoff. . , . " ' "I think principles have been neglected," declared Penegar in his acceptance speech. "I think principles have been misplaced. I think it is time for the party of the students to come back. We must return this principle to stu dent government. The principle is a jointly operated university in which student government is the junior partner." As Penegar finished his speech, climaxing an hour meeting embel lished with accolade after accolade for the candidate, the entire group of over 60 persons gave him con tinued applause. Gene Cook nominated Penegar in. a five minute spgggh that strong ly censured the present admin iitration. Lashing out at President Ham Horton, Cook emphatically said, "President Horton has bun gled excessively the fight against Saturday classes. ... He proceeds to take sawed off shotguns and back the Trustees against the wall with mass meetings and demonstrations." Cook also criticized Horton's stand on taking the Student Coun cil out of politics and the hew UP reorganization move. He dubbed Penegar "the man who has stood for the rights of the individual student." "Look at Mr. Horton's appoint ments They show us what he has done," said Cook. "Come hell or high water, nothing is going to stop us from winning," he con cluded.' Henry Lowett and Ken Barton also spoke for the presidential favorite. Barton labeled Penegar, "one of the finest persons I know." The smiling Penegar offered the following statement after the meet ing: "In accepting the Student Par ty nomination for president of the student body, I pledge myself to the effort of securing for our stu dent body and its government a more responsible position within the University in the constant at tempt to meet the needs of the student." Penegar outlined points which he said needed improvement. Spe cifically, he strongly censured President Horton for "placing in competent persons in the local committee" of the National Stu dent Association. He stressed the (See MYERS, page 4) Preregister General College students must preregister before Feb. 18. No appointments will be neces sary for the freshmen and soph omores who "want to see their advisers.
