Meets Tonight
Legislature
To TackQe
NSA Again
A request for $1,600 for a junior
senior class party is expected to
be up before Legislature tonight.
The request is in the form of a
bill introduced "by UP Floor-leader
Jack Stilwell. Key members of both
parties hinted that the bill would
be the subject of debate at the
session.
If the $1600 request is filled for
the traditional junior-senior fete,
there would be little more than
$300 left in the legislative till. For
this reason, some legislators are
against the move.
Last year, $1500 was requested
for the same function, and after
revisions the junior-senior class fi
nally received $500. One of the
opponents of this year's will indi
cated that $500 was the amount
.that would be suggested.
The stormy NSA referendum bill
is also slated for more egislative
debate. The bill, which was re
jected some weeks ago, was rein
troduced last week by John Ingle
(Ind.) The bill calls for putting the
-question of continuing member
ship in the NSA up to the stu
dents. Thus far, the University Par
ly has been the proponent of the
bill and the Student Party the op
ponent. President Ham Horton yesterday
said his office was starting a cam
paign to get the students to pe
tition for the referendum. He point
ed out a section of the constitution
which says 10 per- cent of the stu
dent body can petition for a ref
erendum. NSA appeared settled when it
was brought up some weeks ago ,
and the referendum was voted ;
down by a large majority.
The National Student Associa
tion is an organization which car
ries on programs on the campus,
regional aw, national level. One
of its main functions is as a clear '
ing house for ideas on student go--ernment.
Other projects such as
scholarship funds, travel tours and
national conventions are sponsored
by the group.

Church-Going
Requirement
ELON COLLEGE, Feb. 18 (Spe
cial) A 60-year-old rule demand
ing that students at this Christian
Church institution must attend
Sunday school and church every
Sunday has been abolished.
,The college trustees killed the
ruling yesterday.
Students who went home on
weekends . were expected to bring
back ai tatement from a minister
that they had attended church.
Students who failed to attend ser
vices two Sundays were punished
by loss of an academic quarter
hour.
The Student Legislature last
approved a resolution of protest ad
dressed to the trustees. The res
olution said forced attendance vio
lates Christian principles because
it deprives students of their pri
vate judgment and liberty of con
science. The requirement also was det
rimental to the school's honor sys
tem, the resolution charged, be
cause it encouraged students to
forge church attendance slips.

MORE THAN 200 WASHINGTON correspondents packed into the
White House to attend President Eisenhower's first news confer
ence. The new president's relations with the press were much de
bated prior to this conference. It was a question of whether he
would be reluctant or talkative. Opinions differed on his method
used this week, but most agreed that it could have been better.

University Party For NSA
Referendum, Says McFai!
The University Party Tuesday

More Funds Required
To Run New Hospital
President Gray and other Uni
versity officials have put in an
emergency request for more funds
to operate the new Memorial Hos-!
pital here.
Because the hospital now is op-
erating at only partial capacity, 1
with a high overhead, the State
must pay 68 per cent of the op-'
erational costs for this year, Gray j
told the Joint Appropriations Com-!
mittee Tuesday. In 1953-54 the
State's percentage will drop to 33
per cent and is expected to decline
still further to 26 per cent in 1955
56, he said. i
Gray asked for an additional '
$341,155 for operations through the
remainder of this fiscal year, which ,
ends next June 30. This would
bring to a total of $1,996,795 the
State's appropriations for operat
ing the hospital this year.
The request for 1953-54 is for
an additional $286,824.
For 1954-55 the request is for
an additional $426,941 bringing the
total for that year to $790,219.
In 1955-56 the total need is ex
pected to be $641,732.

In Report Of
Trustee Unit
The Trustees's Visiting Commit
tee will hand the full board a 26- j
page report Monday recommending
Saturday classes, higher salaries j
for teaching personnel, and greater
emphasis on scholarship and aca
demic freedom.
The report, completed on Feb.
9 and released by Chairman Victor
S. Bryant, is the result of several
months' consultation with the ad
ministration, the faculty and stu
dents. Under the University Admin
istrative Code, the committee is
required to make such a report at
least once a year.
Regarding Saturday classes the
committee directly reversed its rec
ommendation of Feb. 28, 1949 that
the institution of a six-day week
"is too drastic a measure if it is
going to hamper the serious and
best efforts of the University."
In this year's report the commit
tee refers to. "estimates" that from
35 to 50 per cent of the students
leave the campus for the weekend.
The report says, "We do not
suggest Saturday classes as a dis
ciplinary measure, but in our judg
ment the real purposes for which
a student attends college can be
more nearly achieved in a five-and-a-half
day week that a four-and-a-half-day
week."
Reference is also made to the
fact that the University at Chapel
Hill is one of only three .members ;
of the 37-member Association of
American Universities which do not
have Saturday classes.
In recommending higher pay for
faculty members, the committee
noted that, even though: teachers
will" benefit from : 'Governor - Um
stead's suggested 10 per cent pay
raise, their salaries "will not have
increased commensurately with the
cost of living."
In regard to academic freedom
the committee says, "Our Univer
sity must maintain at any cost
its traditional liberality of thought,
and the right of both student and
faculty to search out the truth
wherever it may be found."
The Visiting Committee's recom
mendations in full are:
"1. That unsparing efforts be
continued to obtain faculties of
the highest quality at the three
branches.
"2. That there be continued in
sistence upon those conditions, in
cluding adequate compensation,
scholarly opportunity and academic
freedom, which will make our cam
puses congenial for those interest
ed in sound teaching, scholarship
and research.
"3. That more emphasis be put
on teaching in the undergraduate
schools, with proper recognition
and promotion for excellence in
teaching.
"6. That more faculty-student con
(See TRUSTEES, page 3)
the State's contribuation to support
the hospital could be reached, ac
cording to Gray.
One way, he said, would be for
"increased growth of voluntary
health insurance plans" to bring
the hospital more funds from pa
tients participating in that cover
age. The other way would be for the
counties to pay a "more substantial
portion of the costs for hospital
izing those who are unable to pay
their hospital bills themselves, he
said.
It is necessary fqr State support
of the hospital to continue indef
initely Gray said, in order to make
up for those who cannot pay for
themselves or who for some other
reason do not pay their bills.
In little more than a year of op
eration, the hospital has taken
care of, a total of 1,450 patients
and about 4,000 out-patients who
were treated" but not admitted,
Gray said. Now the hospital has
only 104 beds available, but the
total is expected to exceed 400
in 1955. .

Mardi Gras, Bossomy Beauties
Warm Hea Of Old Tar Heeler
(Lt. Chuck Hauser, our official Tar Heel at
large, is Korea-bound. This is the first of several
columns describing his trip over and this one is
written about a town he knows by description
and acquaintance. Chuck was Managing Editor
(and everything else) of The Daily Tar Heel dur
ing his days here from 1947 to 1951. Ed)
NEW ORLEANS It's Martii Gras time here in
New Orleans; the temperature sits in the mid
80's, and if those two things don't combine to
make this a hot enough town, there's always Lilly
Christine, the Cat Girl.
Lilly, a Tar Heel favorite from Sugar Bowling
days, is the golden-haired Venus with the body
of a contortionist and the suggestive motions of
an ocrean fern, in case anyone's forgotten. She's
back at her old stand in Louis Prima's 500 club
on Bourbon Street, and naturally, she's packing
the house.
The act has slowed down some from the old
Cat Girl routine that Tar Heels who made the
great bowl trips of the Golden Era will remember.
Lilly is going in for more interpretation and less
out-and-out sex, but the body, the muscles and
the ability to use them are still there.
I have seen one of the 15 assorted Mardi Gras
parades during my one-night stand here. Hundreds
of thousands of people sardined into the narrow
streets and spilled out into vast Canal Street to
watch the Krewe of Orion spectacle which snaked
around the downtown area for better than two
hours.
A taxi driver had given nie a rather accurate
gratis preview of the parade that afternoon.
"There's a bunch pay-pur-ma-shett flats whita
buncha broads on 'em t'rowing 'away trinkets. Jeez,
you should see them crowds scramble for them
trinkets! Jeez!"
Not For Congress
ATLANTii; CITY, N. J., Feb. 18. (Special) The wife of a Washing
ton newspaper publisher told public school educators yesterday "the
time has come for a powerful counter-offensive" against Congress' plans
to investigate subversive influences in schools and colleges.
In a speech which frequently brought cheers from educators gath
ered for the annual meeting of
the American Association of School
Administrators, Mrs. Agnes E.
Meyer declared:
"It must be clearly established
that only the board, of education
and the administrators have the
right to question a teacher's loyal
ty upon sufficient evidence."
Mrs. Meyer, wife of Eugene
Meyer, chairman of the board of
the Washington Post, criticized
Sens. McCarthy and Jenner and
Congressman Velde in connection
with their proposed investigations
of the schools.
"The independence of our whole
education system will be jeopard
ized if Velde, Jenner and McCarthy
are not stopped in their tracks
before they- get under full sail,"
Mrs. Meyers said.
-The proposed investigation has
been condemned by many leaders
among the 17,000 school officials
attending the association's 79th an
nual meeting here. However, in
official policy as contained in reso
lutions, the organization so far has
not criticized congressional in
vestigations. Mrs. Meyer said, "If McCarthy
is successful in .his disruption of
our educational institutions it is
sure to go to his head. Nobody's
freedom or dignity would be safe.
"It would be well if the press,
the church organizations, the radio
and television administrators
should wake up to the fact that
there is nothing to prevent Mc
Carthy from putting them next on
the list of his victims."
Sen. Jenner said of Mrs. Meyer's
remarks he would "let the record
and evidence speak for itself"
about the merits of his investiga
tions. Rep. Velde said "no educator,
student or citizen need have any
fear of our investigations unless he
or she is a subversive or has en-
gaged in subversive activity
Velde further charged Mrs.
Meyer with writing Dro-Russian
propaganda. Mrs. Vek . vehement
ly denied the charge.
Sen. McCarthy said of Mrs.
Meyer's criticism of him: "I would
waste no time reading speeches by
the management of the Washing
ton Daily Worker, much less an
swer than."

j U U yv
A six-hour session on Bourban Street followed.
Split about half-and-half between strippers and
Dixieland combo, in roughly the following order:
1. The Cat Girl.
2. Stormy, the renowned stripper who got tossed
in a lake at LSU a few years ago when she went
to the campus to help promote a student political
campaign. ,
3. Evangeline, the Oyter Girl, who does a vul
gar and rather boring routine with an overize
pearl.
4. Alouette LeBlanc, billed as the Original. Tas
sel Dancer. She's got a tassel hooked (somehow)
on each oone and elsewhere, and she twirls them
all in different directions at the same time.
5. Evelyn West and her $50,000 (insured) Treas
ure Chest, another Tar Heel favorite who's still
doing the same old routine with the dummy who
seduces her on stage (or vice-versa). Ev winds
up her act by removing two jewels and displaying
her king-size mammary glands in all their naked
glory. Who's this girl Marilyn Monroe, anyway?
6. Octave Crosby, a Negro who makes up for
his lack of sex appeal with the finest Dixieland
in town, a six-piece combo holding forth at the
Paddock Club; and George Lewis whose seven
piece ragtime outfit beats it out at the Mardi Gras
Lounge. These are the boys who invented Dixie
land in the cellars of New Orleans many decades
ago.
7. Lizzie Miles, a Negress whose build and
singing stlye are reminiscent of Sophie Tucker,
but she's got Sophie's beat a mile and a quarter
running. She sings her stuff in both English and
Cajun French, which French 3 and 4 at Carolina
don't quite equip you to translate.
But it's fun trying.

Military Ball
Gets Thornhill
For Big Dance
Claude Thornhill, piano-playing
bandleader, will bring his orches
tra here March 28 for the Mili
tary Ball.
Thornhill, who is one of the few
"name" bandleaders to boast of a
french horn in his ensemble, will
play in Woollen Gymnasium from
8 until 12 p.m. for Naval and
Air Force ROTC students.
Uniform for Naval Midshipmen
and Air Force Cadets will be for-
mal, that is, standard unilorm witn

The 15-piece aggregation of
Thornhill uses many special ar-
rangements made by the leader
himself. It concentrates on smooth,
danceable type music and has two
vocalists.
Thornhill received his basic
training in music at Cincinnati's
Conservatory of Music and the Cur
tis Institute. From there, he serv

Eatery Under
New Manager,
Opening Soon
A restaurant for students oper
ated by students under supervision
of former students is an idea now
becoming reality in Chapel Hill.
The University Restaurant has
changed hands. Employing stu
dent waiters and using student
help in the kitchen, Dean E. How
ard of Sapulpa, Okla., former stu
dent, and Mrs. Norma Bireline,
wife of graduate student George
Bireline, have assumed the new
management.
Changes they have planned range
from new menus to complete re
decoration, with the opening sched
uled for next Tuesday.
In design the place is going
modernistic. Paintings and murals
by Bireline in a modern vein, and
also other student paintings will
cover the walls. Sculpture on dis
play will be the work of a visit
ing sculptor in the University Art
Department.
Other physical changes include
painting the floor in a free-style
design and installing indirect ceil
ing lights and booth lights.

SUAB Committee Chairmen will

Correction
The Dance Committee did not
suspend a student from the Uni
versity but merely from dances
over which it has jurisdiction.
A story saying a UNC male
was suspended from school and
carried on page 1 of yesterday's
Daily Tar Heel, given this news
paper by a member of the com
mittee, was incorrect. The com
mittee does not have the power
to suspend from school.
