XL! ) Phi Takes Policy Stand To Back Up Statement By Babbie Dilorio The Phi has decided to say what it means and mean what it says. "We speak In truth," said Don Angel as he opened discussion on the point brought up in connection "with the following statement by Syd Shuford quoted in the Daily Tar Heel Wednesday. "The decision rendered tonight could quite conceivably be made on the quality of the debate; and as a matter of fact, many of the decisions are," said Shuford. It was definitely decided that members would vote on the merits of the bill presented, not just the quality of debate. "Freedom of speech is more valuable today," said Dayton Estes. Debators should be willing and able to stand behind their state ments, the Phi agreed. Shuford, in explaining the rea son for his statement to the Daily Tar Heel, pointed out that when the Assembly debates topics, the opinions expressed are closely scrutinized by everyone on campus and it might be wise to include a non-binding reservation. Shuford recalled the repercus sions which resulted when Trustee John Washington Clark wrote let ters to prominent students asking their opinion on the question of segregation. On the newly established policy, the Phi continued with debate on the bill advocating segregation in the public schools. The bill was defeated, 9-2. Svd Shuford chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, in troduced the bill. He defined segregation as "a so cial separation of white and col ored," and he maintained that it does not deny the rights and im munities guaranteed " to -very American by virtue of the 14th Amendment. "Discrimination," said Shuford, "is the evil we don't want." It is political and is a denying factor." In summing up his speech, Shu ford said that "so long as the Ne gro is given equal protection of the law, they are getting all they need or are required to have. If they want more they must indoc trinate themselves as well as the whites." Franz Roberts promptly retorted by saying that "segregation is legal by law, but illegal morally." Roberts said that we condemn the colored people for their lack of intelligence, manner of speech, inability to integrate themselves into our society, but we won't teach them, we won't allow them to enter our schools and partake of the advantages offered in our outstanding institutions of learn ing. "The whole idea of segregation is the biggest hypocrisy I have ever heard of," said Roberts. r j ft " ' "If, ft." i ? 4 4 4 1 v - 1 . V " NOT EVEN THE parents of Philip Myers, 3, of Jersey City, N.

Bishop Jailed For Swatting .Church Shrine MURPHY, Oct. 28 (JP) , Cherokee County officers today arrested Church of God Bishop ! Homer Tomlinson shortly after he started on his announced plan I to "demolish" the Ten Command ments shrine of his brother's fac tion of the church at Fields of the Wood near here. SheriffM. G. Crawford arrested the 61-year-old Queen Village, N. Y., churchman after Tomlinson j landed two blows with a sledge hammer on the numeral "8" of the eighth commandment, "Thou Shalt Not Steal." . The command ments are in five-feet high con crete letters on the side of a mountain. He was brought to jail here and charged with destruction of church property, Crawford said. Today's activities were the latest in the long squabble over church leadership. "conducts the conductor." Their purpose is to offer symphony music all over the state at a modest price. They have scheduled two per formances in Chapel Hill early in May. There will be an after noon concert for children on the same day as the regular evening program. Children Get Treat Children are admitted free to the concerts. In 1941 Swalin irf augurated the plan of educating school youngsters through music when a small number of child ren ' heard symphony rehearsal programs. The movement has grown until last year more- than half of the annual concerts were played for a total of 140,000 boys and girls. In speaking of the program, Mrs. Swalin said, "Performing free but important music to these boys and girls gives us a sense, not of success, but rather of achievement." Dr. Swalin, who is a well known violinist, always has his violin with him, and also finds room for music, reference books and other non-musical volumes. Many Auditoriums They play in every type of auditorium imaginable. The only orchestra in the country to re ceive partial support from a State Legislature, the North Carolina Symphony is in reality two orchestras. A "Little Sym phony" with 25 players is tailor made for communities with small staging facilities; and the 65 piece "Full Symphony" tours the larger cities. The Swalins came to North Carolina in 1935, when Dr.' Swa lin joined the University Music Department. Later he gave full time to rebuilding a then-inactive orchestra. Dr. Swalin, Swedish in ances try, received his BS and MA at Columbia and his Ph.D. from the University, of Vienna. He is recognized throughout the state as author, composer, violinist and scholar. Their home in Chapel Hill is filled with "Ben and Maxine" personality. Mrs. Swalin is" re sponsible for its interior deco ration, which combines Mexican and Old World charm with mod-" ernistic conveniences. No Pep Rally This Weekend The University Club has an nounced that the pep rally, which was to be held tonight, will not be held after all. According to a spokesman for the club, "Thursday would be too far in advance of the game and Friday would conflict with the Germans." The election of the homecoming queen will, however, still be held. Aspirants to the "royal title" will represent all the ' women's activities on campus. Candidates' pictures will be displayed in the YMCA during voting from 9 to I today. oions n Sf il we Campus Organizations To Make Requests For Funds From Unappropriated Balance The student Legislature will consider President Bob Gorham's ap pointment of Jack Stilwell as attorney general tonight at 7:15 in Phi Hall of New East. Stilwell replaces Lou Wolfsheimer, Gorham's original appointment Big Business Jgx Bill Gets Di's Rejection In a session marked by repeated points of order and appeals to the chair, the Dialectic Senate defeat ed Tuesday night a bill providing for a national manufacturers tax and the re-establishment of the Office of Price Stabilization. De feat was by a 13 to 11 vote. The debate saw proponents sticking to the theme that the pro posed tax was the only way to obtain needed revenue short of ad ditional personal income tax. "Let's take the money from where it is, in the pockets of the large corporations, and not from where it isn't, the consumer," said Joel Fleishman. Opponents counterattacked with the argument that the bill would destroy free enterprise. "Can man ufacturers stand the tax and what would it do to national econ omy?" asked Senator Bob Farrell. Most vehement opposition to the measure was expressed by Gene Shaw who attacked it as a measure designed to "soak the rich." "We don't need additional taxes, we need to balance the budget and cut the taxes we have," he told his listeners.

"The NAM went out and bought a candidate for the Republican nomination last year, then they bought the presidency for him, and now they own the administration. It isn't our right to suggest that their members (the manufacturers) be taxed," he argued. One of those calling for a reduc tion in national expenditures rath er than the new tax was Bill Scar borough, who admitted that he held "generally" the same views as the late Senator Robert A.

Gene Cook, chairman of the Stu dent Party, said yesterday that "there is no doubt that Stilwell will be unanimously accepted." Also expected is a report from the presidentially-appointed elec tions board on its study of the elections laws. A bill to amend the elections laws to coincide with the newly established semester system will be introduced at a later meeting. Two bills asking for a total ap propriation of $700 from the un appropriated balance of student funds will be introduced. The In terdormitory Council is asking for $600 to help finance the annual IDC dance. IDC contends that in the past funds available . for the dance have been far inadequate to give the students a worthwhile dance and concert, especially since the dance is free and open to all University students, and since a big name band is "highly desir able."

Commenting on Wolfsheimer's statement, that his one attribute seemed to be that the Student Party dislikes him, Cook said, "I regret that Lou hsa interpreted his rejection as attorney general as being a result of personal dislike on the part of the Student Party.

Then maybe the student legisature will grant funds to make possible a more professional looking sheet." The staff is composed of Robie McClellan and Bill Formyduvall who write news, John Bachman who covers the intramurals, and James Michaels, who is responsible for circulation. A social column called "This 'n' That" is written by the editor. Brown said it's too early yet to tell how effective the Corn Cobb is going to be, since the first issue just came out Monday, but judging from the words of apprec iation from Cobb readers, he thinks it's going to be worth the time and effort it takes.
