NY School
Red Purge
Is Begun
NEW YORK, Sept. 29 A special
committee of New Yorkers will
soon investigate 1,900 members of
city college staffs and others to
uncover subversive activities irf
the city's colleges. -
The Board of Higher Education
set up the committee just after
11 members of tha city school
system were ordered to go on trial
October 26 to answer charges of
insubordination and unbecoming
conduct.
Trial dates were postponed four
weeks after 10 ef the instructors
pleaded innocent to the charge re
sulting from their refusal to an
swer questions - about . Communist
party membership. . .
According to a statement issued
by the Higher Education Board, the
sction of setting up the new com
mittee was an outgrowth of the
action of the State Board of Rea
gents in listing the state and na
tional Communist organizations as
subversive.
Under the Feinberg Law of 1949
the Regents listing made mem
bership in these partiees apparent
evidence of disqualification for
employment in New York schools.
The committee, headed by Gus
tave G. Rosenberg, a trial lawyer,
is already examining procedure
used in Albany and Washington in
vestigations before beginning ques
tioning in the four city colleges,
Hunter, Queens, Brooklyn, and City.
The Board threatened "discipli
nary action" against anyone fail
ing to "cooperate fully" and gave
the committee power to require
all witnesses to produce "such;
revalent records and papers as may
be necessary."

TV Construction Permit
Is Approved For UNC
The Consolidated University
received the official okay yes
terday for construction of an
educational TV station the first
such station in North Carolina.
The official grant came in the
form of a construction permit
from the Federal Communica
tions Commission for building a
non-commercial educational sta
tion on channel 4, very high
frequency.
Slightly over a million dollars
in private funds has been raised
to finance equipment purchases,
studio and tranmitter construc
tion and The first two years of
telecasting.
Studios will be operated at
State, Woman's College and here.
Actual operation of the sta
tion should begin in the Fall of
1954, according to a recent Trus
tee Executive Committee report
by Controller W. D. Carmichael.
Gordon Gray, president of the
Consolidated University, an
nounced yesterday that Robert F.
Schenkkan of Chapel Hill has
received appointment as direc
tor of television for the Consoli
dated University. Allan Mclntyre
of State College was appointed
chief engineer.
Shenkkan, a graduate of the
University of Virginia and holder
of a Master's Degree from the
University of North Carolina,
has been associate professor in
the Department of Radio and
Associate Director of the Com
munication Center at Chapel Hill.
Maclntyre, a graduate of State
College in Electrical Engineer
ing and holder of a Master's
degree from the State College
School of Engineering, has been
a Research Associate at the Col
lege for several years.
Carmichael has said that the
proposed transmitter tower will
be approximately 750 feet above
the ground, located in a high po
sition assuring ' a good picture
notonly in the areas of the three
schools, but over a large part of
Eastern North Carolina and well
into the Piedmont west of
Greensboro.
All live programs originating
at the three schools, in addition
to being on Channel Four, will be
available to commercial stations
wishing to pick them up simul
taneously. Kinescope, or films of
the programs; will be available
to commercial stations in the
state for use at their convenience. '
No advertising may be sold by
the University station,, under
FCC rules.
Channel four is the only one
of the eight allocated North
Carolina for educational broad
casting which is the "very high
frequency" type. The others are
ultra high frequency and not
readily suitable to most TV sets.
Student politicians swing back
into action tonight as Student Leg
islature begins the year at 7:30
in Phi Hall of New East.
Requests for money and orga
nization reports head the list of
business for the session.
Several organizations are ex
pected to make requests for
money. An increase in enrollment
does not mean that there is going
to be a big surplus in unappro
priated funds. The budget was es
timated for' an enrollment of 5,200
and about 5,900 are enrolled.
Every organization gets a per
centage of the budget which comes
from students' block fees. The in
crease in funds does not go into
the unappropriated balance.
The Carolina Quarterly will ask
for money to help them get their
publication off to a good start

Phi Fires Up
On Standing Of
College Sports
By John Bijur
. Last night the Phi Assembly de
bated a bill which would enable
athletes, to not only compete in
sports, but obtain an education as
well.
The bill had four articles. The
first was that all athletes be al
lowed to receive monetary aid
from their college. Secondly, that
they be allowed to spend five years
in college. Thirdly, that they take
fewer courses during their active
seasons; and finally all such ath
letes be under the strict control of
a commission set up by the NCAA.
The proponents of - the bill as
serted the world is entering into
a new society in which specializa
tion plays an important part. Foot
ball players should be considered
as a law student a specialist in
his own field.
The opponents declared that the
university's first objective is the
improvement of the mind and then
that of the body. Athletics should
thus, form man's mind, not . his
body. :
