VOLUME LXII NUMBER 73 c y : yV y; V 1&4 J. EDGAR HOOVER FBI's Hoover Jells Students 0 Communism J. Edgar Hoover, director of the sveral Bureau of Investigation, answered the question: "What can the coilese student do about Com r"niira?" in the January issue o the Daughters of the American Revolution Magazine. Poover declared that the stu dent must first develop a free j-rja mind which seeks facts if he is to learn what communism re-Hv stands for and "not what i:s apologists say it means." The FBI chief exhorted the col- !e-e student to learn everythin p-jjiible from the experience of '-nse who have escaped the com nunist -Utopia" and then go back j the heart and soul" of Amer ica's origins. '-Rpi-i the documents, books and letters of the immortal giants, who. with faith and prayer and idealism, shaped and moulded a form of government which is a continuous expression of faith in the individual. There you will learn that true Americanism is an act of faith an overwhelming be lief that individual man, with God s help, is an intelligent being capable of self-rule. That faith is essential to the continuance of the Ar.erican form of government. Communism," Hoover pointed out, ' lives on lies. It corrodes hon or, destroys integrity, and wb- verts all the qualities which com bine in an individual to make him, in the truest sense, a man. "In its simplest terms, the straggle lies between the spiritual and the material. .The Communist seeks to rob you of your birth right by destroying your faith in our Republic. "The mess of pottage which he offers in tempting the weak, the shallow, and the short-sighted, is the illustory promise of material security the security of the slave.'' Hoover said. The FBI chief concludes by urg ing college students to recognize all the various colors with which communism cloaks itself and re fuse to join groups mouthing plat itudes and esposing causes until their ultimate objectives are clear beyond doubt. uir baa 7 Xs9 WASHINGTON (JP) House : '::: Joseph W.

M BRIEF comDZt S mTm .. , ,.. - - 1 " ComVlete JP Photo and But Avoid Segregation Issue NSA Leaders Flay New All-South Student Unit By Dick Cred Members of Carolina's National Student Association Committee mildly attacked the Southern Stu dents Association yesterday but were careful to side step the real issue the fact that the Southern group excludes Negro students from its meetings. The SSA, organized in 1952 by an NSA faction which objected to the national group's policy of non-segregation, will hold its se cond annual meeting at the Uni versity of Mississippi, January 9 and 10. Ken Penegar, chairman of Caro lina's group, while not mentioning the segregation issue specifically, said he thought that a "regional organiiation" such as SSA could not represent a cross section of student affairs and problems. Pointing out that the' SSA's aims practically coincide with those of NSA, Penegar said, T dont feel that it is practical to have two organizations to do the same thing." In a letter inviting all southern student body presidents to send representatives to the meeting next week, SSA Conference chairman Roy Pitts said that the SSA is not an organization set up to counteract any other organization. Said Pitts, "The SSA is entirely an affirmative organization. It stands upon its own merits as being the most practical and use ful organization for all Southern students." President Bob Gorham assumed a non - committal, on-the-fence stance concerning student govern ment's attitude toward SSA. He said, "SSA is not opposed to NSA as some pepole seem to think. NSA provides many good services. If SSA has anything to offer, 1 think we should join it as well as NSA. Tm far from being opposed to SSA." It would be superfluous for us to join SSA at present," he said. "If we join at all we should wait until their aims, purposes, and objectives of their program are clearly set forth in a constitution." On the SSA agenda next week's meeting will be the estab lishment of a constitution to im- plement the declaration of principl- UNC Has 5,727 Students University Enrollment Higher Than National Growth in enrollment, percentage-wise, at the University this year is above the national average for state universities when compared with last year's figures. The grand total enrollment here this semester is 5,727, com pared to 5,519 in the first quar ter of the 1952-'53 school year. These facts are revealed by a study of the annual enrollment made for "School and Society,'" national educational weekly, by Dr. Raymond Walters, president of the University of Cincinnati, who has been called higher edu cation's statistician laureate. Looking to the future, Dr. Walters joins other educational, forecasters in stating that be cause of the recent remarkable increase in births, college en rollments by 1960 can be expect ed to set new highs which, by 1070. mav bring double the num ber of students now on college campuses. The current upturn is ac counted for by new students from high schools and Korean veterans, Dr. Walters says. Con siderable gains in the past 20 years were attributed to a trend of higher enrollments in publicly supported institutions than m those privately supported. Enrollment at the University increased 3.6 percent this year over last year. For the nation as a whole, Dr. Walters found en rollment in public universities up 2.9 percent; independent col leges of arts and sciences 2.1 percent; independent teachers Wire Service es and purposes laid down at a meeting last May. About SSA, committeeman Joel Fleishman said, "From what I have gathered, and I've watched their organization since its in ception in 1952, 1 dont believe that its services are as valuable or its ideals as high as those of NSA. Its scope is not wide enough to give the Carolina student body what it can get from NSA." Fleishman refused to say wheth er SSA's stand on segregation had anything to do with his statement that its "ideals" and "services" were not as desirable as those of NSA. The meeting next week is not limited to member schools. Send ing delegates does not obligate an institution to join the con ference. Gorham indicated that if Carolina sends a delegate, it will be merely as an observer. (The principles of SSA include (1) an exchange organization for ideas and help in student govern ment problems, (2) raising stan dards of student government, (3) encouragement of college atten dance; (4) promotion of democratic government in the U. S., (5) im pressing students with their rights and responsibilities to their schools, their communities, humanity and God, and (6) a forum for dis cussion of problems relating to the member schools.

The day of the fire, representatives from every nouse on campus contacted us ot- fering temporary shelter and food. And since returning from tne holidays St. Anthony Hall has offered to feed 20 of our boys on a steady basis." (Although only 19 lived in the house all of the membership ate there.) Asked about future plans for the Pi Kapps, Ridge said, "Next semester we would like to get one wing of a dorm or something like that, so the boys could be togeth er. We would also like to rent a temporary meeting room where we could put the furniture which we wrere able to save from the fire." He highly praised the Chapel Hill Fire Department for its "fine job" in controlling the blaze. He was also complimentary of the genero sity of Bob Cox of Town 8c Campus Men's Store for giving each of 7-"'" the wardxobeless boys a new dress i ; l t: j a 1 i j il. 1. xviue mdu.t?u me '"ijM townspeople who volunteered clothing and personal help.

The most startling ' change took place in the lounge, where worn out furnishings have been re placed by sparkling new sofas, rugs, and tables and refurbished chandeliers and chairs. A high fidelity sound system pipes light classical music into the room whenever the building is open. In the front hall, University workmen are putting finishing touches on the newly-painted walls. Telephone booths, two of the modern "Hear Here" variety, have been installed to replace the ancient booth at the north end of the building. Future Plans And according to Jimmy Wal lace, GM director, more is yet to come. Wallace said yesterday he hopes to redecorate the ground floor Horace Williams - Thomas Wolfe lounge' in a modern decor and re-do the second floor student activities offices before spring. That wound wind up the most extensive clean-up, paint-up and slip-cover operation the building has ever seen. Claude May, a Durham interior decorator, donated his services free, according to Wallace, and directed the main lounge furnish ing project. Here is a run-down of the im provements, paid for jointly by the University and by funds appropri ated by the Graham Memorial Board of Directors: Six new red Naugahyde sofas have been installed, with three mahogany sofa tables and three large sofa table lamps. Three permanent antique cherry- top card tables and five cherry top coffee tables have been added. Soft Lights, Sweet Music A sound system is up, with 15 inch speakers to fill the room with quiet music. Light in the room has been softened with reduced wattage in chandelier bulbs. Lights been cleaned and shaded. have Three American oriental rugs of the Kirman pattern have been installed. Italian glass ash trays have been liberally scattered about the room. Yet to arrive are handblocked drapes of English linen for the six huge windows of the lounge. In the entrance hallway, the building directory is to be set in the wall beside the plaque which dedicates the building. A match ing bulletin board will go up on the other side of the plaque. In the basement, a storage room has been created and the virtually unused game room behind the Rendezvous Room a space which has served as depository for the L , vj - -,,.. fr, years has been cleaned out and enlarged.
