UNC Students
'Trophy Hunt1
At Fla. College
One of the three Carolina stu
dents who over the holidays went
on a midnight trophy hunt at
Florida Southern College yester
day said assessed damages were
$200, but "looked like" only $50.
Dean J. M. Peel, reached by the
Associated Press yesterday at
Lakeland, Fla., said the boys' pay
ment of $200 "winds it up." He
was quoted earlier by the AP as
having told the Rotary Club in
Lakeland that damage amounted
to $1,000. Peel, however, denied
this.
No charges were filed against
the three who, according to police,
admitted breaking several doors
and windows in campus buildings
Thursday night. They also said
they threw two 500-pound sand
stone elephants from the college's
Garden of Meditation into a pool.
The students, Ricliard Kocor
nick. Orange, N. J.; William H.
Beebe, Lewis, DeL, and John W.
McAllister, Winnetka, 111., said
they agreed to pay all damages.
According to McAllister, they paid
a total of $200 for all the damage.
Florida detectives quoted the
trio as saying they had not in
tended any damage but were "just
looking for trophies to take back
to school."
According to the detectives, the
three Carolina students told them
that they planned to take the ele
phants back but when they found
they were so heavy they threw
them into the pool and began
searching the administration
building for foreign flags they had
heard were kept there.
As a first step in restitution,
the UNC trio waded into the pool
and removed the two elephants.

Monroe told the Faculty Club yes
terday. Speaking on "The Schools and
the Courts,"- ts3 political science
professor outlined the develop
ment of government policy on
segregation. However, Dr. Monroe
said what the Supreme Court will
decide in the school segregation
cases "is anybody's guess."
In answer to ' further questions
about the pending decision, Dr.
Monroe said, "I hope to run to
Washington soon to see what I
can hear via the grapevine."
Dr. Monroe said that "strangely
enough, until the last 15 or 20
years, it was considered (by Fed
eral courts) that education was
the prerogative of the states."
Outlining the pattern of policy
towards segregation, he pointed
out that there were court decisions
on the problem "even before the
Civil War." In all the early cases,
he said, the states retained the
power to segregate races in pub
lic schools.

man wrote her winning story for
Dr. Hugh Holman's creative writ
ing class. She has received a $50

and "Operation Ah-Choo," by Vin
cent Cassidy, is a fanciful satire
oh international diplomacy.
The Carolina Quarterly fiction
award is sponsored annually, and

"Education was not even men
tioned in the Constitution. The
principle developed that princi
ples and enumeration of education
were derived by the states," Dr.
Monroe said.
Pointing to more modern cases,
he said, "In terms of higher edu
cation, by 1950 it was clear that
the 'equal protection' clause
would require intermingling of the
races." -
Dr. Monroe said that if the
Supreme Court does rule against
segregation in the schools, there
is still the question of when it
should end. Tt may be done at
once or on a long-term basis," he
said.
"Most people, I believe, don't
think there will be a great influx
of Negro students to white schools,
even if segregation is abolished,"
he added. '
The Supreme Court's decision on
segregation is due sometime next
month, according to Monroe.
The club now has 240 members.
The feature of the meeting was
