Legislature Will Decide
On Dorms' TV Tonight
Student lawmakers tonight will consider giving their classmates
aimoit $4,000 in television and $600 in washing machines.
In a move that grew from the Student Party's TV-for-dorms prom
ts in fall elections, bills will be-
considered which will provide 12
brand new television sets with Cl
inch screens to dwellers of certain
dorms.
Another $283 may be given to
five dorms to finish payments on
TV sets already purchased on the
installment plan.
The coeds in Spencer and Mc
Iver dorms may get $600 for wash
ing machines.
The student Legislature's Social
Improvements Committee is han
dling the program for dorms,
which are "inadequately furnish
ed" to provide places for the "re
laxation of students." . Don Geiger
(SP) heads the committee.
The dormitories that may get
the 12 new TV sets (UHF and VHF
models with rotary antennas) are
Grimes, Everett, Graham, -Old
Vest, Ruffin, Steele, Alexander,
Battle-Vance-Pettigrw," Whitehead,
Old East, Carr, and Lewis. . s
The dorms for which the Legis
lature may pick up the" payments
for sets already purchased are
Manley. Winston, Aycock, Joyner,
and Stacy.
There was talk yesterday in Uni
versity Party circles that the dis
tribution of TV sets by the Stu
dent Party controlled-Legislature
was a pre-election device designed
to get votes. One UP source, who
asked to be unnamed, said he
thought it was a "pay-off before
elections."
On the other hand, the Student
Party holds that this is a needed
improvement. Vice President Bax
ter Miller, an SP member, hailed
the TV plan as "something we've
needed for a long time."
President Bob Gorham (UP) ac
cused the opposition Student Par
ty of being "irresponsible" and
"indiscriminately" distributing stu
dent funds. Gorham made his
statements recently at a University
Party meeting.
Vice President Miller retorted to
the Gorham charges in Legisla
ture. He challenged the "accuser
or anyone else to sliow me where
the Legislature has been irrespon
sible and indiscriminate in its ap
propriation of monies."

Life On Stars
Is New Show
At Planetarium
The Morehead Planetarium is
presenting . a new show entitled
"Stellar Populations," during the
month of March.
In this show, explanation is
made . of the recent disclosures
made by eminent scientists at Pal
omar Mountain Observatory, These
men have discovered "Star Cities"
and "stellar inhabitants" through
the 200-inch telescope on Mount
Palomar. Reproductions of these
majesticstar cities may be seen
in the new show.
Many astronomers are coming
to believe that our solar system
is not unique, and are beginning
to wonder if there is another plan,
et like the earth. The hypothesis
will be explained in the Planetar
ium's new presentation.
Since it is thought that life may
exist in another solar system, it
is conceivable that distant planets
might well support other life some
where in outer space.
Much is realized of the universe
with a good understanding of its
"harmony" and "immensity." "Stel
lar Populations" is designed to
convey this magnitude and harm
ony which the Creator has privi
leged to behold and study.
The new presentation will be
shown nightly at 8:30, Saturdays
at 3 and 8:30 p.m., and Sundays
at 3, 4 and 8:30 p.m.

sec officers have u
installation of bulletproof glass
in front of the Senate and House
galleries. They also recommend
ed revamping the Capitol police
force to eliminate many of the
inexperienced old men and
college students who hold pa
tronage jobs as guards.
These proposals were pressed
privately by plain-clothes .men
Mike Dowd and Carl ' Champ,
both Metropolitan Police cap
tains who are detailed on Capi
tol Hill. Capitol Police Chief
William Broderick, a veteran
law-enforcement officer, has
also advocated the bulletproof
glass.
They appealed privately to the
Capitol housekeeping committee
that it is impossible to "frisk"
every visitor to the galleries for
concealed weapons, that it would
be a simple matter for a-fanatic
to toss an old shoebox contain
ing a bomb onto the floor of
the Senate or House.
In the interests of economy,
Senators and Congressmen re
jected the bulletproof glass.

Two Greek Skits Are Halted
By Chairman; Phi Gams Win
Greek Week Chairman Ed McCurry halted two fraternity pledge
skits at the Stunt Night show in Carroll Hall last night on the grounds
i that they were too risque.
After the restless crowd had hissed itself out, three judges headed
by Dean James M. Parrish of 4;he
Business Administration School de
ided that first-place honors for the
evening should go to Phi Gamma
Delta's Dixieland combo.
Midway through the show sev
eral coeds among the handful who
attended got up and left. At the
end of the affair only one coed re
mained in the audience of some
400 males.
Greek Week Chairman Ed Mc
Curray had warned the groups be
forehand that "obscenity just
wouldn't go." He had to warn sev
eral groups to tone down their
skits as- they went along. Near the
end, a jokester for Zeta Beta Tau
and the skit "Pragnet" of Alpha
Tau Omega had to be stopped
completely.
Alpha . Tau Omega won last
year's talent show.
The Phi Gams got plenty of ap
plause as they hustled through
"Johnson Rag" and- "When the
Saints Go Marching In." The
judges awarded no second or third
place honors, although there were
other "clean" skits.
Helping Dean Parrish in the
judging were Miss Gladys Cox of
the BA School; Charlie Bernard of
the Admissions Office; Dr. C. O.
Cathey, General College adviser
and history professor, and Edgar
Thomas Jr. of the Alumni Office.

Speaker Tells
Of Asian Life
"Man is a man wherever he is,
but woman differs," said Mrs. Rob
ert C. Burns in the YWCA cabinet
meeting this week.
Mrs. Burns talked afiout the his
torical, religious, social and mari
tal characteristics of the Japanese.
She portrayed the Japanese wom
an as being strong and self-sacri
ficing, her task is the care of the
home and the bringing up of her
children.
The Japanese woman's greatest
crime is barreness: the only rea
son sufficient for separation from
her husband. The family is har
monious, ruled with unlimited
freedom by the man. Marriage
bonds are stronger than in the
United States, she said, because of
the lack of socio-economic compe
tition there. -
"Japan's Buddhist and Shinto
religions supplement each other,"
she said. "All marriages take place
in the festive Shinto Shrine, which
is the symbol of nature, culture,
arts and community interest. The
Buddhist temple is the symbol of
serious things in life, a reminder
of death and the inner life of
man.

Horton Says
Frat Council
To Back Law
By Jerry Reece
A grim reminder of "Hell Week"
came up yesterday as the Inter
Fraternity Council Court an-'
nounced the conviction of a fra
ternity for a violation of the IFC
Hazing Law;
Phin Horton, a senior from
Winston-Salem and chairman of
the court, said yesterday that "in
its third meeting in three weeks
the IFC Court convicted and fined
a Carolina fraternity $100 for a
violation of the IFC Hazing Law."
"In the two previous cases," he
continued, "both fraternities were
acquitted. They were charged with
conduct unbecoming a Carolina
fraternity and disturbing the
peace.'
"They were acquitted," Horton
explained, "on the grounds that
as an organization the fraternities
were not responsible for the inci
dents. This was in view of the fact
that only two members of the fra
ternity charged were there in one
case and no members of the fra
ternity charged knew anything
about the other case."
In regard to the first case, Hor
ton made the statement that "The
disturbance which took place on
the property of Sigma Alpha Epsi
lon Fraternity a few weeks ago
was not caused by members of
that group. It was caused by mem
bers of other campus fraternities,
non-fraternity men, and students
from other campuses."
"Since there were only two
members of that fraternity pres
ent," he continued, "and one of
them tried to stop the disturb
ance, the court found this fra
ternity not guilty as charged."
Regarding the hazing convic
tion, Horton brought out that the
IFC law regarding hazing stipu
lated the $100 fine for the first
offense. The second offfense is
punishable by 12 months' sus
pension of rushing privileges. The
third offense, if either the second
or third offense occur within five
years of the first offense, results
in the fraternity's being dropped
from the IFC, which means revo
cation of that group's local charter.
"The court is working to pre
vent further violations of the
rules," Horton said. "I would like
to impress upon each fraternity
man the seriousness of the conse
quences of breaking the hazing
law, and remind them that the
court will enforce the law to the
best of its ability.
"We're not out to hang any
body," he continued, "but this law
will be enforced."
