The pastor of this Community Church is Charles M. Jones, - for 11 years minister of the Presby terian Church here. Mr. Jones was forced to resign as minister of the Presbyterian Church after a controversy with the Orange Presbytery. He felt that he could not con tinue his work without the confi dence of the whole congregation, he said. He was then invited to head the new church by a group of towns people, many of them prominent in the University. These people said that there was a place here for a non-denominational church, and that the purpose of it would be to provide, "a wor shipping and working fellowship of people from varied backgrounds and faiths, a church of open mem bership, free from denominational limitations; a spiritual home wherein there is unity in Christian essentials, and charity in all things; a fellowship dedicated to the worship of God and to outgoing Christian service." Among those active in the af- Tarnation Magazine Sets Meeting For Staffers The Tarnation Magazine will I hold a staff meeting today at 4:30 in their office in the basement of Graham Memorial for all students interested in working on the maga zine this year.

SHiPiiii ' ' s -A - 17- - ' 2 Quarterly Announces Sale Price To renew student interest in the campus - literary magazine, price of the Carolina Quarterly has been reduced from $1.25 to $1.00 a year, it was announced yesterday. ... . The editors reduced the student subscription rate, while leaving the outside subscription fifty cents per issue. Stand copies in Y-Court will sell for thirty-five cents. Editor Charlotte Davis said. "We're starting' put this year with the nucleus of a fine staff. The people working with me are ex perienced and" ;, industrious, and want to do everything possible to bring out the best magazine they can. "But in the long run, our year depends on the students. A literary magazine can grow- only out of a community of interest in writing; it can't be imposed on the campus. "We need the - support of every body who wants-to see the young writers at Carolina get an op portunity to communicate with , a reading audience and who would like to learn what they are think ing. " ' . "Subscriptions are only a dollar; we'll be selling them in the Y Court this week. If a literary magazine is worthwhile on the campus, it's worth your subscrip tion." Marshall Plan Study Grants Offered U. S.

Twelve scholarships will be granted annually, each or a two year period which may be extend ed to three. Eligible for competi tion - are U.S. citizens, men or women under: the age of 28, grad uates of accredited U. S. colleges or universities. The. scholarships may be held at any British univer sity. The value of each award will be $1,540 a year, with an extra $560 a year for married men.

Ad minisf For Equal Coed Import Plan By Louis Kraar The administration turned. down a student plan for revising the co ed visiting agreement for- fra ternity houses, it was officially an- nounced yesterday. This means that . coeds . can't drink in fraternity houses, as they would have been able to under the Interfraternity Council proposal. ' In turning down the plan, the administration clarified their stand on student drinking in general. The administration said it definite ly does not condone student drink ing. Under the present system, stu dents other than coeds are left to decide for themselves about drink ing. A University rule which ap-. pears in the catalogue, points out that students may be dismissed from school for drinking. . Thus the tedious negotiations between students and administra tion in drawing up a plan stress ing student self-restraint seem over. The student proposal would have allowed coed drinking in the Student Finishes Degree Work m For Carolina At Tenn. Site A University mathematician has completed his research for the doctoral degree 400 miles from the campus. He is Dr. Bertram M. Drucker, Legal Gaming Turned Down fn Phi Debate In its first debate of the Fall, the Philanthropic Assembly last night defeated a bill to legalize gambling in North Carolina. Gambling would be a legitimate activity and a fertile tax field, argued Bob Pace, the first speaker. Dorr Angel took exception to the tax argument, however. He felt that many gambling establishments could withhold information re garding profits ; , Angel proposed to correct this with an amendment that gambling institutions be government oper ated.. The amendment was defeat ed. The most vehement opponent of the bill was ex-student body presi dent Ham Horton. With the co operation of Don Sherry, Horton put forth an amendment revers ing the bill, but it was defeated. However, the Assembly later de feated the bill itself. A bill for the abolition of Duke University was introduced but ta bled due to the late hour. The meeting adjourned without con sideration of a bill to lower the state's voting age. Most of the dozen visitors at the session were freshmen. The As sembly had 11 holdover members present. Campus Too Small For Political Parties, Woodhouse Tells Frosh Dr. E. J. Woodhouse, University political scientist, advised some 60 freshmen last night not to join either of the campus political parties. "This campus is too small to need parties ... I wouldn't join either the Student or the Univer sity Parties.' Dr. Woodhouse sug gested, "I'd go to their meetings. Kattsoff Resumes Chats On Sunday Program Dr. L. O. Kattsoff, professor of philosophy and former head of the Department of Philosophy will re sume his Sunday afternoon chat, 'The Point of the News," over Sta tion WCHL at 5-15 p.m. Septem ber 27.

Of Further Talks houses governed by personal judg ment and the Campus .Code. Sim ilar visiting rules for coeds and imports were to be maintained and a faculty visiting committee was to advise individual houses. The inconsistencies in University rules on drinking still remain. They arise from the fact ,that drinking is dealt with by two sep arate and different University regulations. . , . . .1. One. regulation in the catalogue says "the faculty is directed to dis cipline or dismiss from the Uni versity any student who is known to engage in drinking intoxicating liquors." On the other hand, the Woman's Handbook says, "Women students may not consume alcoholic bever ages, or remain in the presence of anyone doing so, while in the who did his graduate research at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Oak Ridge, Tenn., following com pletion of his course work for the doctoral degree at Chapel Hill in 1951. Dr. Drucker received his Ph.D. degree during the August Com mencement and has just left Oak Ridge to become assistant profes sor of mathematics at the Georgia Institute of TechnologyJ2 .Ll.iLL Because Dr. Drucker's research field made it desirable to have ac cess to electronic computing ma chines to complete his thesis work, the University applied for an Oak Ridge graduate fellowship in his behalf, since the required compu ters were available at the Labora tory. While at Oak Ridge, Dr. Druck er's research was supervised by a four-man committee which includ ed two University of North Caro lina faculty members and i two members of the Mathematics Pan el at ORNL. On the committee Were Dr. W. M. Whyburn (chair man of the committee) and Dr. V. A. Hoyle, of the North Carolina Mathematics Department, and Drs. Alton S. Householder and Ward C. Sangren of ORNL. The Oak Ridge graduate pro gram is carried out to permit the use of exceptional facilities avail able at Oak Ridge in graduate study programs. While completing his research, the gradutae fellow frequently is able to make con tributions of value to the atomic energy research program. The graduate prgoram is a joint activity of Oak Ridge National; Laboratory and the Oak Ridge In stitute of Nuclear Studies. Caro lina is a sponsoring university of the Institute. hear both platforms, and vote for ,the best man." Ken Penegar, speaking for the SP on whose platform he was de feated last Spring for president, said he believes in the two-party system of student government, provided that the parties do not come close together. "Then there would be no choice, said Penegar. Representing the UP was Ed McCurry who outlined his party's platform and structure. Following the speakers, questions from the floor concerning the two parties were answered. The meeting was held in Lenoir Hall. Freshman Friendship Council Chairman Bob Young sketched the purposes of the council. He listed them as trying to bring freshhmen closer together, providing classes in dancing ana oilier forms of en tertainment, and " . . . finding the .solution to any problem which; hight confront the freshman class." jecs Bid (fraternity) house." v The administration-- made no changes in these so-called "contra dictions" in University rules. Since about 1940, fraternities have sought to remove the prohi bition clause.. A more intense ef fort was begun two: years ago by IFC president John Robinson and continued by others up until this Spring. Student leaders as ; yet haven't indicated whether they will, try to negotiate 'another type of agree ment with the administration. To discuss the student side of the problem this Spring, President Bob Gorham set up an Executive Council, a campus forum to which: major campus groups had repre sentation. The council ironed out ! student differences, as requested by the administration; Then, in May, the unified stu-' dent plan was put before admin istrative officials. Exams and va cation interrupted formal an nouncement of the decision until ,his Fall.

I o Set For South By Educators The South, is. about to get badly needed light on the question of how much, money it will have to spend in- order to- have an ade quate educational system during the next 13 years, according to plans fbrmuluated at a meeting of a nationally distinquished ad visory commission held in Atlanta recently: Details of plans for the study were revealed here today by Dr. Rupert B. Vance, Kenan profes sor of sociology, who is one of eight nationally distinguished edu cators who will conduct the study. Known as the Education Load Study, the project is under the di rection of Dr. John K. Folger, on leave from his duties as chief of the Technical Services Division, Human Resources Research Insti tute, Maxwell Air Force Base, Ala. Dr. Vance reported that the study will estimate the numbers of students the South will have at each school level from first grade through graduate school, year by year and state by state, from now until 1970. The 14 states from Maryland to Texas are included and estimates for the more distant future can be made as new data make them practicable, he said. An estimate of the costs of edu cating the future school and uni versity population of the region, which is expected to increase sharply, will be contained in the study, Dr. Vance explained. "One objective of the study," he said, "is to provide a basis for achieving effective cooperation among leaders of higher education and secondary school systems. Survey ' Col. Robert Burns w
