He pays a brief visit, and the fact that he has a confused idea re garding the name of a man he had encountered in his travels results in a great deal of confusion, for the name of the man was Telling worth, the former husband of the country gentleman's wife, believed by the lady to be dead.

Bv CHARLES CHILU Daily Tar Heel Science Writer The charges made against Dr. Oppenheimer present one of the most serious situations which has faced our country.

Child. .yAP Wirophoto. to try to get the American people to realize the effects on science caused by wild accusations As to the charges made in the recent Fort Monmouth hearings, the Federation of American Scientists reported: "The effect on our national security would be extremely serious if such in vestigative methods are allowed to spread to other areas of this country's scientific effort." The charges against Dr. Oppenheimer may have been an attempt to prevent McCarthy from "grab bing the ball." But, regardless of who made the charges, our country is in no posiiton to discour age future scientists. Since the Fort Monmouth hearings our govern ment has had "considerable difficulty in obtain ing applicants" for positions. If Oppenheimer is not cleared, the person who takes his position will have no assurance that he will never be dis missed for having known Oppenheimer. Hearings and charges such as those at Fort Monmouth and those against Dr. Oppenheimer may "jeopardize the government's ability to get advice from the scientific profession'' This statement was made by the Federation of American Scien tists. It is not a threat but is only a warning that scientists may not serve as advi-crs because their scientific conclusions miqht not meet with the approval of certain individuals. Next year American colleges will graduate np proximately 2.500 students with bachelor's decrees in phvsics. In 1058 this will drop to 2.4.K) In the Soviet I'nion there will be around 24 0K) by IMS and this number will increase e.n-h year Where will our atomic energy rn'Kram be in 10 years if its founders become political t.irgitv and if students are frichtened out of majoring in nuclear physics because of the treatment they might receive? By LOUIS KRAAR Student President Bob Gorham and Dean of Students Fred H. Weaver, in separate interviews yesterday, disagreed on the stu dent role in current student-Administrative talks on coed visiting and student drinking. President Gorham said, "They (the Administration) have simply handed us another student gov ernment lollypop and said go on out and play. Now that we have had the guts enough to stand up and say, 'Some changes should be made," the Administration is try ing to push us down and hold us under water until we squeal, 'Surrender.' " Gorham said that until a meet ing on Tuesday of this week, he had though the students and Administration were working out j via negotiations a new agreement (the old one was suspended April 3) for coed visiting in fraternity houses. Gorham declared that Weaver then said that the meet ings were "just discussions" and that the Administration would suggest an agreement to the chan cellor. On the other hand. Dean Weav er in an interview said, "The pro cedure is one of joint endeavor on the part of representatives of faculty and Administration, on the one hand, and student govern ment, on the other, to work out a satisfactory basis for visiting privileges." Today's student-Administration meeting may be the last between students and Administration be fore the Administrative group meets alone. According to Assist ant Dean of Students Roy Holsten, the student-Administration group has decided that they have cov ered the subject of visiting in a fairly thorough manner. Next week, Dean Weaver will meet with the Administrative Board of Student Affairs, made up of six faculty members appointed by the chancellor, as well as the acting chairman of the Faculty Committee on Fraternities and Sororities, and the chairman of the Faculty Executive Council. This group will begin to decide what to suggest to the chancellor, if anything. After the Weaver meeting with faculty representatives, tentative plans call for still another meeting with students. Just what wiil be done after that is purely conjec tural. President Gorham and Dean Weaver, interviewed earlier, were not aware of what each other had said on the visiting agreement. Weaver said that the complexity of the problem of student drink ing has made it difficult to com municate to all students the pol icies and trends emerging from the discussions. He pointed out that it was student action which brought on the discussions uith the Administration. Since the agreement s suspension no coeds have been allowed in fraternity houses. This has been the case now for three weeks. Weaver stressed the fact that discussions have been a "joint endeavor." Gorrum s.iid that student gov eminent ha, acted "iih a sincere :md hnnest motive of clearing up a situation that was undermining the Campus C.xlf." He a-ldM, "The old Visiting Agreement was not acornpli!iiris.' its purposi, while, on the contrary, it vtas c:iu,ing student, to lo.e f.uth in -tiider.t government ami the pun uple of m If n xn,:bi!ity." The student body prcijent charged that the "I'niversify Ad (See ADMISISTRATIOX, page 4)
