WEATHER Partly cloudy and cooler today with an expected high of 60. VOLUME LXII NUMBER 159 Complete If Photo and Wire Service CHAPEL HILL, N. C. SATURDAY, MARCH 27, 1954 Offices in Graham Memorial FOUR PAGES TODAY SP Favors Pool Tables For Graham Memorial The Student Party tapped another idea into the side pocket of its spring platform yesterday one favoring pool tables for Graham Me morial's basement. SP Chairman Henry Lowet said, "The Student Party favors sufficient appropriation of funds so that at Kuralt Favors Improving GM With 'Facilities' Charles Kuralt, doubly-endorsed candidate for The Daily Tar Heel -editor, yesterday promised a "vig orous campaign" for increased student union facilities "such as pool tables, which can be enjoyed by a large percentage of the stu dent body." Kuralt said if he is elected, he will attempt "to - bring Carolina students some of the same ad vantages enjoyed by " students at WC and State College. ' "Both in Raleigh and Greens boro," he continued, "new stu dent union buildings have been erected on campus. The new building at State has provision for eight pool tables, and five are now in use in another building. WC also has tables in its student union." Kuralt said the initial cost of the tables would not be exces sive, and Graham Memorial could probably handle the financing if the student Legislature approp riated enough money to mjake down payments. "Carolina has been the forgot ten step-child of the Consolidated University for too long," the UP SP candidate charged. "It's time we began rising to the level of WC and State in things such as activities which "give students something to do in Chapel Hill besides go to the movies, espec ially on weekends when Saturday classes keep many students from going home." , YM Will Elect New Officers Tuesday NigHt ' The YMCA's election of new officers has been set for Tuesday night at 7:45 in the Y building, when all active members will have an opportunity to vote. A slate prepared by the nom inating committee will be pre sented to the group, which may enter further names in the race from the floor. Bob Hyatt, current Y vice-president, has been chosen by the nominating committee as presi dential candidate to run with these men: Bill Lofquist for vice president, Graham Rights for sec retary, and Bob Young for treas urer. Hyatt, a junior from Cherokee, has held numerous Y offices dur ing his three years at Carolina. This year he also worked with the Inter-Faith Council. A junior from Asheville, Lof quist is president of the Presby terian Youth Fellowship and is on the Inter-Faith Council. Rights, a sophomore from Winston-Salem, is chairman of the Elections Board and heads the Y's committee for Camp Butner. The fourth candidate, Bob Young of Asheville, ' served as chairman of the Freshman Coun cil this year. United Nations" Seminar To Be Discussion Topic fThe World Understanding Supper Forum meet Tuesday night in the upstairs dining room of Lenoir Hall. The supper and discussion will begin at 6 and will last until 7 p.m. The topic for discussion will be the trip made to the United Na tions Seminar March 25-27. Those who participated in the seminar and will be on the panel are. Ned Harbin, Grace Alley, Car oline Jartford, Charlie Aldridge, Mike Furuhata, Jimmy Sherrill, Ram Desikan, and Bett Ray. least four pool tables may be suit ably located in GM gasement." He pointed out that the student unions at Women's College and State College both have pool tables. "Certainly UNC would seek to in clude tables in its union programs," he added. One of the things that would do much to improve the social ad vantages and facilities on the Caro lina campus would be the instal lation of pool tables in the Gra ham Memorial Student Union," Lowet said in a prepared state ment. This plank, Lowet said, is "ex tending the Good Deal platform." Student government, according to Lowet, "seems to have been un mindful of the students' needs during the past two years. The SP's Good Deal strives to meet these needs." Lowet promised "action, not cam paign promises." He said "an SP president and Legislature would guarantee the realization of this goal." Geiger Clears Up Statement . About Drinking Don Geiger, Student Party presidential candidate, yesterday clarified his views of coed drink ing, saying that he wants to "amend the visiting agreement so as 'to allow men to drink in the presence of coeds in fraternity houses, not necessarily to allow coeds to drink." Geiger said the headline in Fri day s Daily rar Heel was very inaccurate and implied several things which I definitely did not state in my speech." The presi dential candidate spoke before the student Legislature, and the account appeared in yesterday's paper. "Secondly, it is quite obvious that the Inter-Fraternity Council has jio authority over the dorm itories," he said. "My allusion in that portion of the speech to the dormitories was related .to "al lowing more freedom of conduct such as we have a right to expect of Carolina ladies and gentlemen,' by giving the dormitories a lib eral coed visiting agreement, something which they do not have at all." Geiger said it was a "well known fact that it is illegal to have or drink alcoholic beverages in University-owned buildings." The SP candidate said that stu dent government "should take the initiative in accomplishing some thing constructive, such as we have not seen during the past two years." , APO To Back Parents Day For College Alpha Phi Omega, national ser vice fraternity, will assist in Par ent's Day this spring, it has been announced by Charles Katzen stein of the local Rho chapter. In making the annonuncement, Katzenstein said, "Parent's Day is an annual event at Carolina, a chance for everybody to get their folks up for a real look at Chapel Hill in the springtime, an oppor tunity to see for themselves what Carolina means to their son or daughter here." APO, which has 260 chapters throughout the nation, is made up of men who have had some contact with the Boy Scouts, and who are interested in an extra curricular activity of service to others. "Service to others," said Katz enstein, "is something most of us don't think about often enough, and too many are not aware of the personal satisfaction to be derived from making the campus just a little better for the next fellow." 4-in White-robed figures "trap ping" unambitious, inactive, non-studious members into the Order of the Calvyries at post midnight ceremonies in the Pi Phi House.

Jim Fountain Backs Kuralt For Editorship Former Head Cheerleader Jim Fountain said yesterday that he is ' "wholeheartedly" supporting Charles Xuralt for Daily Tar Heel editor. Explaining that he has been ap proached by supporters of both candidates. Fountain said, "I have known Chii"rlie for a long time and I knoof no person who has a greater interest in the Uni versity than Charlfe does." Fountain said "for the benefit of those students who are now concerned about efforts to mis lead the student body" that Kur alt "is definitely not against ath letics." Fountain continued, "What they are trying to do here is to make an issue in an effort to stampede the student body into electing the present sports edi tor." Sports Editor Tom Peacock is running against Kuralt. Foutain said that he regretted "that the othe? candidate feels that he h?s to run against Rolfe Ne iioCer to have a chance of beatWg Charles Kuralt "I hope the student body will not be taken in by this." "One of the most important things, I believe, which needs to be accomplished, is strengthening of school spirit and the expres sion of school spirit," Fountain said. "I do not think that Peacock will be able to get the coopera tion from all sources necessary to carry out this goal. I believe that Charlie Kuralt has the per sonal, professional, and adminis trative ability required to bring out the best possible school spirit." University Club Picks Litaker New President The University Club, at a regular meeting recently elected the fol lowing as officers for the coming year. President, Bob Litaker; Vice President, Ed. Taws; Treasurer, Lawrence Maddry; and Secretary, Annette Niven. Harriet Parrish was appointed new publicity chairman for the group, which recently started a drive for more membership. on the Political mil i u W V Candidates Do Take A Cue We were glad to see some candidates take the cue about pool tables for Graham Memorial. The Student Party and doubly-endorsed Daily Tar Heel edi torial candidate Charles Kuralt have declared themselves in favor of installation of the fine old game in Graham Memorial's basement. As it is now, if a guy or a coed (yes, a coed) wants to chalk a cue or two, Durham is the nearest billard emporium. The art of chipping an eight-ball into a side pocket has become respectable quite proper enough for both Woman's College and N. C. State. Maybe, Carolina will get out from behind the bind of old ordinances and give us pool soon. Fleishman Explains How We were wondering how a legislator who's running for presi dent of the student body Don Geiger of the Student Party, for in stance is able to talk about his platform on the Legislature floor. A Student Party parliamentary expert, whose name is Joel Fleishman, explained it to us yesterday. Unzipping his rather worn briefcase, Fleishman extracted a copy of the Legislature's by-laws. In his official, but polite manner, Fleishman informed us that after minutes are read there is time for "receipt of petitions, me morials, messages and papers." And that was the time at which Geiger gave his talk. 102 Students Start Teaching In N. C.

Didn't Sign Oath California Ex-Profs Want Back Pay From University Twenty-one University of Cali fornia professors who were fired five years ago for refusing to sign a special loyalty declaration are ready to press their claim for back pay in the Superior Court of Sacramento. Presiding Judge John Quincy Brown has given the university board of regents until April 8 to comply with a court mandate to pay the professors or else show cause why they have not done so. The back pay fight has been going on since 1950, when the California Supreme Court ruled that the professors had been fired unlawfully. The professors had already signed an oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States and of California? before refusing to sign the declaration roDiems Parent's Day Preparation Is Discussed No Difference Seen By House In Students Of Prep, High Schools By Jennie Lynn The Visiting Committee of the Board of Trustees of the Conso lidated University was on campus yesterday listening in a four hour conference to Carolina officials discuss local needs and problems. Chancellor House was asked if students coming to. Carolina from public schools were more handi capped than those with prepara tory educations. The Chancellor said that students on campus that receive high honors come from both state schools as well as ex pensive private schools. "It appears that there is no difference. If a student will study, nothing will stop him. If he won't then noth ing can start him." General College Dean Spruill said that superiority in grades shows up in preparatory school students for the first two years. By the 'end of the sophomore year, however, the public school student catches up. It was emphasized that the Uni versity must work with the state high schools. Professor Cameron of the Math Department told mem bers about weekend conferences (See VISITING, page 4) Turner Named Editor-in-Chief Of Handbook The YMCA Publications Board has announced that Jim Turner, Winston-Salem, will be the editor-in-chief of the 1954 Carolina Hand book.

Deutsch spoke for many of his colleagues on the faculty when he said that the dis puted loyalty declaration was an infringement on academic free dom in part on the assumption of trustees that professors are not officers of instruction but em ployees. There has never been a specific statement that any of the profes sors who refused to sign the dec laration and were fired were not loyal. Stanley WeigeL attorney for the professors, asked the re gents point-blank whether there is or ever has been any question of the loyalty of any of these 21 ousted professors. Mr. Neylan, of the board of regents, replied: "No, of course not."
