"I do wish that you would leave out the words 'recommending personnel,' because that is entire ly the right of the General Board.

In doing so, the board gave a revolutionary interpretation to the grade qualification law. Until yesterday, it was consid ered that to be eligible for campus office a nominee must have a C average for the two semesters prior to the semester in which the elec tion is held. After studying the law the Elections Board ruled that the candidate must have an over all C average for his college career and the two preceding semesters have nothing to do with it. This interpretation put Fountain in. He has an overall C average but lacks the C under the two semester requirement. The law up for interpretation reads: "The nominee shall have passed a minimum of 27 hours in the two semesters immediately prior to that semester in which he is nominated .which shall be ac companied by an overall grade of C or higher." The phrase "overall C or higher" is the key one. Fountain was "appointed by President-elect Tom Creasy after the April 6 elections. Fountain's name appeared on the ballot through error since at that time he was ineligible. Creasy appointed him and asked for an interpreta tion of this election law. Fountain, however, will have to face an election if a special elec tion is held. If one is not held he will have to run in November dur ing the fall elections since all presidential appointees to elected offices must stand for election at the next election, regular or special. Creasy said that he was , sorry that this case came up, because of the " embarassment it' has caused Fountain. Coed Visiting Confab Today . The faculty group considering a new coed visiting agreement goes into its second meeting tomorrow, but a representative of the group said yesterday that it will have nothing to repori until it meets with student representatives later this week.

Blake and Curtis Brown, both of . Hillsboro, were riding in a car near the intersection of NC 86 and U.S. 70 about 8 o'clock Saturday night when Blake saw "a green, round object about half the size of a full moon with yellowish vapor .trailing from it." "I tried to show it to Curtis," Blake said, "but it had disap peared. It came back in to view then and we both saw it for about three seconds, then it dis appeared like it had just cut off." The same "saucer" tied up Leaders Meet For First Talk "Some of us can be leaders some of the time, but all of us are fol lowers all of the time," is the theme of Leadership - Fellowship training, said Chairman Nancy Home, as the .C'rst sessions of the program got underway yesterday in Graham Memorial.

Church, State Neutral But Not Separate-Katz The basic American principle of church-state relations is not sepa ration but neutrality, Dr. Wilbur G. Katz, a former dean of the University Law School, said here last night. Dr. Katz, now professor of law at Chicago, spoke in Gerrard Hall. He will speak again tonight at 8 o'clock in the court room of Man ning Hall. Dr. Katz explained that religious liberty means avoiding both gov ernment restraint and government promotion of religion. "When strict separation of church and state would restrain free exercise of religion, separation is not re quired as in the armed forces and in state universities," Dr. Katz said. "To eliminate voluntary study of religion and religious activities from state universities would be discrimination against religion," he said. "College students must have opportunities to mature their religious convictions at the same time they are studying other im portant subjects." Elsie Broom j 'r-''-i 'i ii i Coed Enters Beauty Elsie Broom, junior Carolina coed from Monroe, and Patsy Poythress and Joan Norwood, sen iors in Chapel Hill High School, are among entrants in the Chapel Hill Beauty and Personality Page ant Friday night at 8 o'clock in ELSIE BROOM . . .coed beauty rv n OSH Special Article On Evaluation Set For May The University's 10 best teach ers as rated, by students in the recent faculty evaluationwill be named in an article appearing in the May 15 issue of the Carolina Quarterly, it was announced yes terday. Also in the article will be two departmental listings: one for the value of its courses and another for popularity of its teachers. Ed McCurry, chairman of the student committee' which directed faculty evaluation, yesterday said the rating sheets on individual pro fessors will be distributed to them "within the next few days." The Quarterly article incorporat ing evaluation information the only part to be made public will be written by (Thad Seymour, a member of the evaluation com mittee. He also is a graduate stu dent in English and teacher of General College English courses Seymour said yesterday that his writing would "discuss faculty evaluation as a principle and draw some reather general conclusions regarding ours. I'm for faculty evaluation." He said that in rating the 10 best teachers only those were considered on whom more than 30 rating sheets were filled out. It was announced yesterday by Chairman McCurry that the eval uation program had a 30 percent student participation. "In view of the fact that raerly does the stu dent body turn out or participate in campus elecions or any Univer sity function or program more than 50 percent in ratio, the Faculty Evaluation Committee considers the 30 percent turnout not too disappointing," McCurry said. Outgoing President Bob Gorham, under whose administration the program was initiated and admin istered, said, "In view of the many difficulties that ha dto be met, such as the problem of distribu tion and collection, I consider the program successful." " In the committee's report sub mitted by McCurry it was noted: "The committee, in reviewing the overall rating sheets, for the most part feels the students that did participate in the program did so with a very considerate attitude. As we expected, the overall in struction was given a vote of con fidence by its students, but as was also expected, certain individ uals were given definite negative mandate, obviously pointing out weak links in our chain of in struction. 1 the high school auditorium.
