The impending deficit was an nounced yesterday by Woollen Gym officials in connection with the CAA budget which was released Thursday. While the net gain up to Feb. 28 was $56,187, this did not take into account the fact that during Spring Quarter the" CAA loses about $33,000 a month over its total incdme. Spring sports, as well j as basketball, are operated at a loss with football being the only money maker. This year's deficit will be the first time the CAA has gone into the red in several years. The idea of putting student ath letic fees on a voluntary basis, advanced by the Student Party, concerns two payments each quar ter. One is $3.33 to the Carolina Athletic Association, the same group which will have a $50,000 plus deficit this year. The other fee is $10 and goes to operate Woollen Gym. Both fees are man datory. So far, there has been no com ment at all by athletic officials about the $10 Woollen Gym fee. Dr. O. K. Cornwell, gym spokes man, will be out of town until Monday. The $3.33 fee . issue, Jiowever, is still stirring official comment. Vernon Crook, ticket office mana ger and CAA treasurer said yes terday: "There is no practical way of administering the fee on a volun tary basis. In the absence of a fee, the students would be compelled to pay the same price as everybody else for the use of facilities an4 admission to athletic vnts this fee is not an admission charge but a membership fee in the Caro lina Athletic Association." The membership fee enables the CAA, thus the student, to avoid paying federal admissions tax on student tickets. Technically, stu dents never get a ticket. Their pass book is legally only for identifica tion purposes. At the ticket gate, the student turns in his "ID coupon" in return for a seating card. As sold to the public, a season's worth of football tickets would cost $18.50. The student fee of $3.33 was set in 1913 at student request. It has never gone up since that time. According to the CAA, student fees comprise about one-tighth of the athletic fund. ! SytlU Lj&f B MM M& May Cleric By John Jamison A long-sought possible revision of the coed visiting agreement has reached the most advanced stage in its tedious history. The University administration is now considering a proposal sub mitted recently by the Inter-Fra- & ternity Council "to remove some contradictions" from catalogue and Woman's Handbook rules concern ing coed visiting and drinking in fraternity houses. The IFC proposal, if adopted by the University, would maintain similar visiting rules for coeds and imports and establish faculty vis- iting boards for each house. The TFC Court would enforce visiting rules, and individual violators would be tried by the appropriate campus court. The proposal now under con sideration would place more em phasis of self-restraint by men and women in respect to fraternity house drinking. It would, in effect, allow women to drink in the hous es, governed by their own judg ment and the Campus Code. The "contradictions," or actually inconsistencies referred to in cur rent discussions are the fact that drinking is dealt with by two sep arate University regulations: One, in the catalogue, says "the faculty is directed to discipline or dismiss from the University any student who is known to engage in drink ing intoxicating liquors," and the other, in The Woman's Handbook, says "Women students may not consume alcoholic beverages, or remain in the presence of anyone doing so, while in the house." Should the administration ap. prove the IFC proposal, ft would then consult ttl JettYfr Com-, initte? 6f th Baar4 ef Trustees since the original regulation was instituted by the Trustees, The rjls Was placed in the catalogue about 1905. . There has been talk about fra ternity houses being required to tear out bars under any possible new ruling. However, there has been no mention made of this in any sessions so far. Since about 1940, fraternities have sought to remove the prohi bition clause. A more intense ef fort was begun last year by WC president John Robinson and con tinued this year by Presidents Jake (See ADMINISTRATION, page 6) UP Pledges To Fight Removing Bars, Second Quarter Rushing The University Party yesterday promised the campus fraternities o) 3 IjUilr -s rain MM M History profs quip after not ing absence of politician, fee abolisher Ken Penegar: "He's probably down at Woollen Gym. . . . and never will be seen aagain."

Columbia Prof Hits AAU For Probe Policy NEW YORK, April 8 (Special) "In intellectual matters freedom is either unqualified or it does not exist," Prof 4 Robert S. Lynd of Columbia University said yesterday in a statement on the eurrent in vestigation of Communist in ucation. Dr. Lynd said that the recent announcement by the Association of American Universities on com mon policy toward any Congres sional investigations of their fac ulty members Is the fflOSt serious blow that education has reeeived. Dr. Lynd made the statement before a meeting of the Columbia Chapter of the American Associa tion of University Professors with 200 faculty members attending He said that most faculty members regard the investigation policy as an offer by the universities to men like Sen. Joseph McCarthy "to take over and carry on their aims and their workjtor them in the field of education." that it will fight any move to do away with bars in fraternities or to institute a system of second quarter rushing. The promise was issued ,m . a letter sent to the fraternities by Walt McFall, UP chairman. . "In regard to fraternities," said' the mimeographed letter "the Uni versity Party will fight any , at tempt oq the part of the adminis tration or students to do away with' bars in fraternity houses, or to institute a system of second quar ter rushing, which you and I know could mean the eventual weaken ing of the fraternity system on this campus. ; "We further will do everything in our power to get prompt action on the coed drinking rule. The rest of our program is outlined in the platform." . McFall's letter said the UP would not base student government ap pointments on "some silly civil service plank, but we shall attempt to see that every organization has an equal share in student govern ment." . The opening part of the letter stated that, through the efforts of the UP, student government participation has gone up 50 per (See UP PLEDGES, page 2) u u P SEEM Hi mm" Bill Introduced For Referendum On Gym Levy By Louis Kraar The Student, Party last night backed a legislative bill calling for a poll of campus opinion on a vol untary gym fee system. As Gene Cook (SP) read the lengthy bill dealing with one of the Spring campaign's most con troversial issues, Sol Cherry (UP) uttered a ' long, low moan. The speaker called for order and got it. Cherry stopped groaning. Cook tried to suspend rules so that the bill could be considered at once. But the required two thirds majority wasn't reached. The bill said: "A campus-wide poll, in the form of a referendum, will be held in order to ascertain student sentiment concerning the establishment of a voluntary sys tem of payment of 'the quarterly fee of $10 all students who are not taking courses which involve the use of the gymnasium." This poll will only show student opinion. Any action on this system must come from the administra tion. Abolition of compulsory gym fees is one of the Student Party's top campaign issues. Political pros and cons of the present system have filled candidates' conversa tions and newspaper columns for several days now. The referendum, according to the bill, was scheduled for the first week in May. The bill will be on the floor for discussion next week", after the election. But it will probably be in the political limelight because a runoff is an ticipated by many observers, The Consolidated University Stu. dent Council bill, which gives the Legislature power to appoint CUSC delegates if the president fails to do so, was passed without debate. The bill gives the student law makers power to fill the present vacancies. And the Legislature took, advantage of them appointing Toni McDonald (SP-UP), Baxter Miller (SP), Bill Brown (I) dhd Frank Plot (SP) to fill gaps left in the three-school group. There seemed to be some doubt about whether the new CUSC ap pointees can officially represent Carolina at tomorrow's meeting in Greensboro. In order for a bill to be'law, the president must consid er it. President Horton may either veto it or approve it. But, either way no action is likely before tomorrow. Cook (SP) felt that the Legisla ture might have the power to make the appointments without Horon's approval. According to the legisla tor, the method in which appoint ees are picked is up to the Legis lature. Voting against the CUSC bill were John Cauble, Seymore Bayne, Gordon Rattle, Sol Cherry, Dave Cliflard, Raben Leonard, Julia Shields and Ann Street all Uni versity Party representatives . Finance Unit Favors UNC RALEIGH, April & The Finance Committee of the State House of Representatives voted late today to give a favorable report to the Legislature on the University at Chapel Hill's request for a perm anent improvements bond issue in the amount of $1,001,000. The committee also will recom mend ' that ' the bill (HB 941) be considered immediately by the leg: islators. It Will probably be taken up Friday 'morning. Favorable report from the Fin ance. Committee is usually an in dication a bill will be successful on the " floor"." However, some amendments 1n2y" be made.
