The Student Party yesterday
aaaea to its laii eiecuon piiu.uitu
two planks promising a student
representative on the board of
trustees and a social improvements
program for dormitories and "other
places where students congregate."
Last spring the Student Party
promised, if elected, to secure a
position on the University Board
c! Trustees for the student body,
"in light of Saturday classes that
were imposed on us."
"The UP has done nothing"
about securing a student represent
ative on the board of trustees, says
the SP platform. "So here we are
with half the year gone, and no
trustee representative."
The other plank promises that
student government surplus funds
'could and should be used" for
projects at improving the "general
welfare of the student body."
The program would provide
"dormitories and other places
where students congregate" with(
television sets, radio-phonographs
and records, and books and book
cases. The plank previously set forth

Luxon Outlines
Improvements
In Journalism
Two new courses and the empha
sizing of research are top items
on a list of improvements in the
School of Journalism which are
planned by its new dean, Dr. Nor
val Neil Luxon, who assumed his
new duties -at the University this
week.
He has already announced that
he will introduce two new courses
next fall one on the functions
and responsibilities of contempor
ary iournalism and the other on
legal aspects of journalism.
Luxon himself will start teach
ing when the spring semester be
gins February 2. Then he will teach
a course in reporting for the junior
class.
Dean Luxon hopes to get some
research projects underway in the
Journalism School before long. He
is especially interested in research
and his own efforts in this field
won him the 1939 Sigma Delta Chi
award for meritorious research in
American journalism.
The new dean will continue to
emphasize the School of Journal
ism's plea for enlarged quarters.
The facilities provided in Bynum
Hall have been inadequate for some
time, but President Gray and Chan
cellor House have given Luxon full
assurance that his department
along with the Pharmacy School
will have top priority on requests
before the next Legislature.
Luxon comes to UNC from a
position as assistant to the Presi
dent of Ohio State, where he han
dled budget and personnel prob
lems. The Board of Trustees of
that institution expressed regret
over his departure.
"I am informed that 0. J. Cof
fin has done a good job since he
came here 27 years ago, and it is
my intention to build on the solid
foundations laid by him," Luxon
said this week.

Take Science
From Military
RALEIGH, Dec. 5 (JP) A
former War Department scientific
adviser declared Friday night miS
tary authorities are holding back
the progress of science in building
national defense.
"For the real use of science in
our national defense, science must
be taken out from under the mili
tary first," said Dr. Ralph E. Lapp
of Washington, D. C., director of
the Nuclear Science Service.
"The military's appreciation of
science is far from satisfactory and
the. military have not adapted stra

in warfare which has been created

Dr. Lapp spoke at North Caro

executive director of the National
Research and Development Board
and ex-assistant director of the
Atomic Energy Commission's Ar
gonne National Laboratory.
Dr. Lapp said, "I do not believe
that science is making its maxi
mum contribution to national de
fense. I believe that secrecy ob
scures and public relations distort
the slow progress our military
have made in-such fields as guided
missies."

UNC On An Autumn Saturday:
Lazy Conversation In The Sun
By Jennie Lynn
The pigeons and squirrels, little
boys playing football, students sit

vantage of the sunshine yesterday
afternoon.
The campus from South Building
to the library was deserted, ex
cept for squirrels hopping around
digging in the grass and a blonde
vounsster dragging a long stick
behind him, humming a strange
tune to himself.
The steps to South Building
glared in the sunlight, donned with
coke bottles, empty cups and step

57-year-ol4 principle that segre
gated schooB are constitutional if
facilities are equal.
The NAACP contends the 14th
amendment to the federal consti
tution, adopted after the War Be
tween the States, makes integrated
schools necessary. The amendment
promises equal protection of the
law to all citizens.
. South Carolina counters that
f ramers of the amendment, and
most of the adopting states, never
contemplated its being used as the
basis, for abolishing segregated
schools. .
The NAACP will ask that inte
gration, if ordered, be hendled by
a special referee to take testimony
and make a decision applicable to
five other cases from Kansas, Del
aware and the District of Columbia.
Relying on the equal but sep
arate . facilities doctrine, South
Carolina has embarked on a 178
million dollar construction pro
gram t oequalize school facilities
for Negroes.
The state also saw its voters in
1952 approve overwhelmingly a
pending state constitutional amend
ment to eliminate a requirement
that the state must maintain free
public schools.
The General Assembly must rat
ify this to make it effective. The
lawmakers are waiting on a de
cision from the court before act

be to give full school control to

Protests Censorship

set of editors today as a result of
the dispute arising because of an
editorial in the paper favoring the
admission of Negroes to Georgia
colleges.
The original editor and manag
ing editor, Walter Lundy, Jr., and
Bill ShiDD. resigned earlier this
week after a threat of reprisal
from a prominent Georgia political
I figure, Roy V. Hams, : a member

Jr,!!.
priscilla Arnold and Gene Britton,
resigned because of a censorship
invoked bv the university fol-
lowing Harris' criticism. A board
was set up to clear all "prejudicial"
news before it could be printed.
Miss Arnold and Britton quit
because, they say, the board re
fused to define the term "preju
dicial," refused-to set a "practical"
time limit on conferences to keep
fresh news from becoming stale,
and refused to exempt signed col
umns from board action.
The Red and Black set off the
controversy by referring editorially
to Governor Herman Talmadge's
stand for school segregation as
"the Mr. Hyde side of his political
personality."
Said the editorial, "With Com
munism knocking at the Negro's
back door, we cannot afford to let
educational segregation barriers
stand. It is as plain a the red flag
in Russia, that continued segrega
tion and suppression -can-and will
cause the death of democracy by
the hands of its own leaders."
John Washington Clark, a mem
ber of the University of North
Carolina Board of Trustees, in 1951
similarly brought pressure upon
The Daily Tar Heel for its stand
against segregation here. Henry
Bowers, then president of the stu
dent body, attacked the adminis
tration's policy of segregating stu
dents at athletic events.
An editorial in The Daily Tar
Heel had stated, "To admit stu
dents, and then to discriminate
against them because of race, reli
gion, creed or economic circum
stance, is thoroughly repugnant to
this venerable citadel of democ
racy and freedom has so long
the cardinal principle for which
stood equal treatment for all stu
dents, special privileges to none."

Michigan University's Survey
Claims GOP At Disadvantage
ANN ARBOR, Mich., Dec. 5 (Republicans go into a national
election at a disadvantage, according to a University of Michigan sur
vey. This was one of many findings of a survey on "party identification,'
released today by the University's
JSurvey Research Center. The re-j
port was pirt of a continuing study
Of political behavior
The Republican disadvantage
was based primarily on survey
findings that 47 per cent of those
interviewed - "thought of them
selves as Democrats as compared
to 27 per cent who thought of
themselves as Republicans."
"Republicans occasionally win
elections," said Campbell, "because
Democrats do not turn out as well
as Republicans and because Demo
crats occasionally vote Republi
can."
The survey also indicated Re
publicanism embraces more high
er than average incomes, more
college education, more protest
ant religions and more native-born
status than the Democratic group.
Voting turnout increases in pro
portion to education and financial
status, Campbell reported.
However, neither party has cap
tured any social group, he seid,
"except as a matter of degree."
"Both groups are made up of a
mixture of all kinds of people,"
according to the survey. "There is
no group which belongs exclusively
to one or the other party. Each
party may be said to represent the
entire American public."
