Commies The Di senators were as force ful as the subjeect they debated when they assumed the rostrum at their first meeting this year. A move to outlaw the Commu nist Party in the United States was presented by Henry Lowett. "An estimated 100,000 people in the U. S. adhere to the Communist Party, he said. Their first loyalty is to the USSR, not to our govern ment. Their goal is a borgoisie revolution. "The U. S. government has taken steps to combat Communism, such as immigration laws which make it difficult for an identified Com munist to enter the country. Yet, Placement Unit Makes Change In Personnel Changes in personnel of the University Placement Service were announced yesterday by Joe M. Galloway, Director of the Service. Miss .

To Give Coed, I Service May Combine Basic ROTC Course WASHINGTON, D. C, Sept. 23 Separate Basic. ROTC courses for each of the three armed services, would be eliminated, if a proposal made by Assistant Defense-Secretary John A. Hannah, is adopted. He urged the military to investi gate the possibility of developing a common program for the first two years of ROTC as a means of saving money and manpower. He said that combined training for Army and Air Force ROTC Ca dets, should be especially easy. Hannah, once President of Mich igan State College, agreed with suggestions that the armed forces consider allowing civilian instruc tors to conduct ROTC courses not directly concerned with military problems. Because of the need for junior officers in all branches of service, he stated, the demand for ROTC will not slacken. The increased draft of 19 year-olds, who gener ally are not yet ready to assume officers' responsibilities, makes the ROTC program even more vital, in training future leaders. there is no unified act to outlaw Communism in our country. The purpose for this bill is to create a standard act to overthrow the party." Lowett continued to explain that there are many innocent persons being condemned as members of the Communist Party by Mc Carthy's. This bill would provide for a more equitable way to root out the true traitors. Arguing negatively, Gene Cook said. "It must be proved that we are men, instead of sheep running from the wolf. "Danger today rises not from the Communists in the United States, but by our self-appointed guardians of democracy, who are "cleansing" America. McCarthy is the one that should be driven from the country. Larry McLeroy questioned his listeners, "Does not a man have a right to his own beliefs in Amer ica? The government must be care ful to arrest only those trying to overthrow them, leave alone the Marxists. I believe that by outlaw ing the Communist Party we would do more harm than good. We would be adopting ' Communistic methods." Speaking against the bill, Tom he said. The bill was opposed at the end of the debate by 65 senators and guests. Four senators wished to accept the bill. $75,000 Fire In Carrboro Ruins Goldston Property A fire which was described as the town's biggest in years, de stroyed two buildings of the J. B.

Col. Smith Is New Commandant For Campus Ah Force ROTC Colonel George J. Smith, the new commandant of the Air Force ROTC here, is a small, powerful looking man with a sprinkling of grey at his temples. He speaks in a quiet, yet strong, voice. When Col. Smith moved to the University last July, it was the latest stop on an Air Force-conducted tour which has carried him from his birthplace in Brooklyn, New York, to bases in the U. S. and Germany, and finally to the Tar Heel State. After graduating from West Point in 1924, Col. Smith served one year in the Air Force, then resigned his commission to be come a lawyer in New York City. "Not Ready For Equal u 8 oil oos t Another Try Will Be Made President Says "We're not ready to give up yet." - That's what Bob Gorham, stu dent body president, said last night about the administration's refusal of a student-proposed fraternity house visiting agreement. Formal rejection of the plan, which would have et un identical rules for coeds and imports con cerning fraternity house drinking, was announced Tuesday. Refusal means coeds can't drink in fra ternity houses, as they would have been able to under the Interfra- ternity Council proposal. "We'll try one more time," de clared Gorham . He said a meet ing of his recently-created Execu tive Council would be called with in a couple days. This problem of coed discrim ination is still very serious, Gor ham pointed out. He said that a definite student plan could be ex pected soon. Interfraternitv Council President Fred Mewhinney couldn't be reached for comment last ngiht. In rejecting the plan, the admin istration amplified and clarified its stand on student drinking it defi nitely does not condone it. Failure of student efforts, start- ; ences and then submitted to the administration for final approval. The student proposal would have allowed coed drinking in the houses governed by individual judgment and the Campus Code. Similar visiting rules for coeds and imports were to be set up and a faculty visiting committee was to advise the individual houses. Two inconsistencies in Univer sity rules on drinking still remain. They arise because two separate rules deal with drinking. One rule, which appears in the catalog says "the faculty is direct ed to discipline or dismiss from the University any student who is known to engage in drinking in toxicating liquors." Then a Women's Handbook rule says that coeds can't drink, "or remain in the presence of anyone doing so, while in the (fraternity) house." The administration didn't change these two "contradictions." Now, as before the proposal was made, individual students other than coeds are left to decide for themselves about drinking. Gorham's Executive Council is made up of representatives from the major groups on campus. In regard to the visiting agreement, it has been a sounding board for kicking student opinion around until it has become unified. Turn ing the matter, back to the Coun cil means that student differences will again have to be worked out before resubmitting the agreement. The administration didn't indi cate if they would resume negotia tions or not. Evidently, he could not get the Air Force out of his blood because he soon returned to active duty at Miami Beach, Florida. From Miami he went to Greens boro and St. Louis, and in 1946 was sent to Germany to serve as a liaison officer to the headquarters of the French zone of occupied Germany. Later he became the as sistant judge advocate of the U. S. constabulary forces in Germany. Col. Smith returned to Mitchell Air Force Base in New York in 1948, where he served until he came to Chapel Hill. "It's a wonderful opportunity to be permitted to serve here," he said.
