"Eisen hower's cabinet came into office with no conception of the prob lems they were up against," White House Correspondent Bill Costello said in a speech here Monday night. Costello said, "Eisenhower has produced no bold, new program for dealing with Communism. The Republicans led people to expect too much wnen they sug gested a great cut in the budget. "They oversold themselves." Costello made these remarks in answer to questions asked after his speech on American policy in Asia. In commenting on the attitude, people hvae toward Asia, Cos tello said, "There are three types of people who are real enemies of freedom. The first is the escapist. He wants to believe that Communism will go away if it is ignored, or else he believes we should go all out with the atomic bomb and get it over with. Another believes there is nothing to fear.

The proof that they are wrong is in the fact that Russia broadcasts her intention of ruling the world just as Hitler did." Outlines Communist Plans Costello outlined the Commu nists' plans as "a simple strategy of gaining control of more and more territory by any method." He said, "Malenkov has reversed Stalin's policy of letting the people go hungry to build for war. Malenkvo is giving them a little more butter along with their guns. . "Today the small farmer in Russia has the legal right to be a small capitalist. It is signifi cant that this change came with the arrest of Beria. It means that Malenkov sees no imminent war " r. ,1 On the China question Costello said "I asree with those who think that China will break with Russia in the end, but that may be 25 years away." When asked If he thought Chiang Kai-shek Returns Give Student Party Sweeping Win By Richard Creed The Student Party yesterday took the largest majority that any party has had in the student legis lature since the two-party system was set up in 1938, as 2,200 stu dents went to the polls in the an nual fall election. The unofficial count at 11:30 last night was 31-18 in favor of the SP, with one double-endorsement. The University Party was ap parently flabbergasted and in the words of President Bob Gorham, they were "very much surprised at the whole thing." Gorham contin ued, "I don't feel this is a repudi ation of UP policy or accomplish ments in the past year. I don't think this is a mandate from the students to carry out the platform which the SP proposed. There are many things in their platform which "are impractical and impos sible." Student Party Chairman Gene Cook said, "The Student Party With humility thanks the student body for expressing confidence in its program. Now we guarantee, vou action." . - . UP Chairman Lou Wolfsheimer said, "Li the words of Clyde Strowd, houseby at the Zeta Beta Tau House, 'In my day, I'se won and Vse losed. And winnin is bet ter. And I definitely agree with him." It was apparent early in the eve ning as ballots were being counted that the SP would at least retain the 26-24 majority which it has enjoyed . in the "Legislature since fall election of last year. But no one except Cook seemed to think that the SP would gain so over whelming a majority. He predicted early in the eve ning that the SP would take a 30-20 majority. The Constitutional amendment calling for the revocation of the right of the president of the stu- ...J , . . l committee passed, but no officials count was available at press time. The amendment states that the orientation committee to select orientation counselors will be comprised of the chairman of the, Inter-Fraternity Council, -the In terdormitory Council, the Dialec tic Senate, the Philanthropic Society, and the orienetation com mittee. The chairman of the orien tation committee will be appointed by the outgoing president instead of the incoming president as in the past. The 2,200 votes yesterday con stituted 36 percent of the stu dent body. The 46 percent vote in the fall elections last year was apparently due to the race for The Tlo Tar Wool Hitnr;hm Nn siirh ."II r Z. (See ELECTION, page 4) Costello could retake China with United States aid, Costello said, "No, he couldn't retake Hoboken." Administrative Conflict Speaking about administration policy, Costello said, "The ad ministration is marked by a con flict between dynamism and re trenchment. The first word means a go-forward program spending more money. The sec ond means a cut in the budget. So far the decision when the chips are down is in favor of dynamism. "The State Department has been proceeding on the premise that a state of equilibrium can be worked out. The Soviets can no longer undertake even limit ed aggression without fear of an explosion." When asked what Influence McCarthy has in the administra tion, Costello said, "Up to now the President has gone through a period of sorting out the opin ions of the groups within his party. He has considered the views of all members of the party. He will have to pass judgment soon."

College GOP's Flay Browne! I On His Action WINSTON-SALEM, Dec. 8 -JP)-Approval of a resolution by the College Council of North Carolina Young Republicans attacking U. S. Atty. Gen. Herbert Brownell "for attempting to coerce" the U. S. Supreme Court on segrega tion was announced here. The resolution, adopted by the group in a meeting Saturday at Pfeiffer College, was released by State President Ivan Harrah of Winston-Salem. Aside from its attack on the attorney-general, the state resolution endorsed "free, equal but segre gated school program now- estate lished in North. Carolina." It added that the group insists "the federal government adhere to tua pasic principles of state's; rights in this and other matters in which individual freedoms ar& ! concerned." The position was taken, the" group said, because of the feeling "that the improvement of rela tions between minority groups bj evolution rather than by legisla tive or judicial action can be mudl more satisfactory and lasting in its nature," The group followed passage of the resolution with action to ex pedite organization of YR clubs at other colleges in the state, in cluding Shaw University and A&T College, both Negro units. Gerald Chandler of Charlotte, a graduate law student at Wake For est College, presented the resolu tion. It was adopted by a vote of 27 council members representing chapters at nine colleges in the A J state. They include Wake Forest, Woman's College, East Carolina, Guilford, Leea-McRae, Lenoir Rhyne, Pfeiffer, North Carolina State and the University of North Carolina.

House said yesterday he thinks big-time col lege football is a "money busi ness," organized, "not for the edu cational advantage of the student, but for the protection of the gate receipts." He said he thinks ath letes are often "exploited" under the system. House made it clear he was of fering personal opinions in his remarks on big-time college foot ball, and that his statements were not specifically related to the Uni versity, but to present-day foot ball generally. The Chancellor also lashed out at the Atlantic Coast Conference ruling requiring athletes to list their sources of outside financial aid as a "quagmire of lying and hyprocrisy." In comments on student affairs made to the first in a.sprips nf conf-rimeM with Journalism g,. Bure?u anc D?il . Tar jjeel reporters, the Chancellor also: 1. Said he is opposed to student government plans in- the works to seat a student bn the University Board of Trustees; 2. Went on record against re- i quiring of a C scholastic average of students in extra-curricular ac tivities, and 3. Commented briefly on a stu dent government plan for students to "rate" faculty members, and remarked on student politics in general. Football Comment Big-time football, House said, takes too much time and energy from students who participate, and tends to "exploit" them as stu dents. It is a "stadium entertain ment," he said, and a "money business." In answer to a question, the Chancellor said he thought foot ball is "beter than it is bad, but it's a mixed ,confused system. And the more you reform it, the worse it gets." The Atlantic Co?- i ConferencA requires athletes list iha Sourc?3 ef their financial assist ance. House 'fti1 last weekend at a conference meeting in Greens" (See HOUSE, page 4) Justice Dept. Calls For End Of Segregation WASHINGTON, Dec. 8. (JP) The Eisenhower Administration called upon the Supreme Court today to outlaw racial segregation in Amer ica's public schools. It went straight down the line with the Truman Administration in declaring that separate schools for Negro children, even if they are equal to those for white pu pils, are illegal under the constitu tion. But Virginia's attorney general. J. Lindsav Almond, told the high tribunal that it was being asked to make "a decision contrary to the spirit and intent and purpose of the 14th Amendment." The amendment provides that no state shall deorive any citizen of due process of law or- deny him equal protection under the laws. The white-haired attorney gen eral thundered that opposing law yers were asking the court to amend the constitution. "They are asking you ... to go farther than the congress ever in tended this court should go," he cried. Asst. Atty. Gen. J. Lee Rankin had told the nine black-robed jus tices they have "the power and the duty" to rule that segregation violates the 14th Amendment. "It is the position of the Depart ment of Justice," Rankin declared, "that segregation in the public schools cannot be maintained un der the 14th Amendment."
