Miller's address to the student Legislature was evidently an an swer to charges "unjustly hurled at the Legislature earner mis provide a better summer program week by student body President thege funds fa y. and in Bob Gorham.

The student Legislature passed the bill unanimously. If student body President Bob Gorham signs the measure (and he said recently he would "back the bill to the hilt"), it will raise student fees from $15 to $18 per year. Said GM Director Wallace last night after the bill passed "The Legislature, by this action. has once again pointed the stu dent union program in a forward looking direction.

"I challenge the accuser or any one else to show me where the Legislature has been irresponsible and indiscriminate in its' appropri ation of monies," said Miller. "It is my opinion that we Lave not only not appropriated money irre sponsibly and indiscriminately, but have appropriated money into those chanenls that in the pasi , few years have been grossly ne glected." The Speaker gave as his reason for addressing the legislators the fact that "... it is my privilege, my prerogative and my duty from time to time to comment publicly upon the actions of the Legisla ture, accusations hurled at the Legislature, and to state my feel ings as to the functioning and progress of the assembly." Miller told the lawmakers he thought the present Legislature was the first he had seen that has demanded the respect of the students," and that "we have dis continued the old custom of wait ing for problems to come to us and have substitued for that cus tom a habit of going out and solv ing certain difficulties that have plagued student government for vears . . ." He cited the action oi the lawmaking body concerning Victory Village improvements; Graham Memorial needs; the 'col lective action" of the Legislature to "cure the ailment" of the Pub lications Board: and the work of the Judicial Study Commission, which is now reviewing the rules of the University Dance Commit tee.

I assistance has been determinative thus far in union activities, we confidently hope to provide a pro gram which will leave little to be desired." Taylor, speaking against the bill, said there is "no great need for the student union building." t "Everything you have at Gra ham Memorial you can get some where else on the campus," he said. As for existing GM facilities, he stated that the - Rendezvous Room might be moved to the Pine Room, and The Daily fTar Heel to the journalism building. He was applauded when he sug gested putting pool tables and a bowling alley in rooms vacated by the Rendezvous Room and The Daily Tar Heel. Tavlor said he also thought stu dent publications should cut their costs, and use the money saved for student union, activities. "An increase in fees, whether it's 25 cents or a dollar or three dollars," said Taylor, "will make it that much harder for some person who wants a college edu cation to get it. The other student opposed to the fee raise, Malcolm Cook, said he "got a letter last summer telling him about Lis us numw OUS CUltUrai Oppuuumu weekend entertainment.

' ' - ,v - ' ' J 'I In a resolution passed by its membership this week, the Dia lectic Senate asked the Chancel lor and faculty of the University to change the Spring exam sched ule so that no exams will be given j on May 29, date of the statewide! Democratic primary. The bill pointed out that ab sentee ballots are forbidden in North Carolina primaries antl, since most voters will want to vote for county as well as state offi cers, the exam schedule would keep most U.N.C. students from voting. Sponsors of the proposal said they Jhought this situation was incompatible with the general at titude that "to be a good citizen, you must exercise your right to vote." The resolution was not a parti- good. Now the pendulum is swing : - 1 1. T JAnH 1- n nil! . t - Vl - if will stop." ; About the other rule recom mended last week by the State of the University Conference to re strict freshmen from fraternity participation he said, "The pen dulum has swung again. "When I was a freshman (in the 1910's) we had a rule like that. Around in the twenties it was dis covered that it was of great value to a freshman to pledge a fratern ity. Now the ccucter idea is com ing up." The Chancellor said he had "no opinion at present" and that he did not "believe that fraternities are the cause for students studying or not studying." Both rules dealing with fresh men were presented in a report given by Dr. Eugine Pfaff of Wo man's College before a dinner meet of the State of the University Con ference last week. Freshmen were segregated in separate dorms here until 1951 when the rule was changed at the request of student government. A reporter asked what the Chan cellor thought about the dance committee ruling that dances could be held only on the week ends. "In general I should object to dances other than on weekends," he said. A reporter pointed out that other functions, such as meetings of the student Legislature and Fraterni ties are held during the week. "I don't believe the Legislature runs as long as dances," he said. Asked for an opinion on the rule that drinking is prohibited at a danco where live music is used, he said, "I refuse to bargain on how much you can drink, where you can drink, or when you can drink. The University does not sanction drink ing." Lapsing into a more jovial mood, he quipped, "As to live music and dead music, a lot of it sounds like it's dying. I can't distinguish be tween them." partment. Joel Fleishman, chair man of . the Carolina Forum, which is sponsoring Long's speech, will preside. Long will speak for 30 minutes and participate in a question and answer session following the talk. He will be guest at a Graham Me morial reception b'eginning at 9:30. Long is expected to remain in Washington this morning for de bate in the Senate on the proposed Bricker amendment. He will prob ably arrive at the Raleigh-Durham Airport at 5:30 this afteroon. He will be met by a representative of the administration, Chairman Fleishman, and student body Pres ident Bob Gorham. In case of earlier arrival, Fleish man said yesterday, Long will have time this afternoon to visit the Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity, of which he is a member, and the Naval Armory.
