Gray stated further that "there is no intention" of chan- -ing this policy. "In the summer of 1951 when the University faced for the first time the fact that there wwould be Negro students in the University, mere was a lot of discussion," said Gray. "The matter was attended by considerable differences of opin ion," he continued. "iThe matter of housing," he said, "was discuss ed along with that of eating in the dining hall and the use of classrooms." Gray said there was no provision made about eating and classrooms. "There didn't seem to be need of any," he said. . "The decision came to reserve space for Negro students," said Gray. "As far as I know the space is still reserved," he said. He said that there were no "spe cific directions" or "written ord ers," but that after the meeting it was "understood" what was to be done. Since that time, he said, "there has been no serious discus sion" toward changing the policy. Trustees Aware Carolina men's dormitories elect ed their officials Tuesday and Wednesday.

New Jersey Governor Speaks Tonight - "'"s L if ; I have no doubt that the board of trustees in one way or the other were made aware of the decisions that were made," said Gray. The President said that he didn't know how many Negro students there are on the campus. - "I have not pre-occupied myself with the matter," he said. Gray explained that there was no record of the meeting or of the decisions made, and that the facts concerning them came from his "recollection." President Gray presented the facts on the administration's policy after three University officials Housing Officer James E. Wads worth, Dean of Student Affairs, Fred H.

PttnH th chnwin " GMAB Series First Movie Is I 7Country Priest7 By RUTH DALTON The Graham Memorial fall film series began last night with the showing of the French production, "The Diary of A Country Priest." The film, which starred Claude Laydu as the priest, was the por trayal of a sensitive young man in his first parish. He can eat noth ing but stale bread soaked in wine, a diet which causes his parishion ers to believe that he is a drunk ard. He does manage to convert the local countess and her "she-devil" of a daughter, in the words of the local bishop. But not without the rest of the family suspecting trickery. (The priest's death at the end of the scenario from stomach cancer jdoes show his final peace of mind, however. The pathos of the entire film is rather heavy, but is made up for by the delicate perception of the French photographers and the re lief from the verbosity of our own American movies, Carroll Hall, where the film was shown at 8 p. nr., was well filled and the . audience appeared, to grasp some of th.e meaning of the exceptionally sensitive drama. ; ASHEVILLE (Qualitative as well as qauntitative editorial an alysis of congressional session .was. urged by the opening panel of speakers last night at the eighth annual national conference of edi torial writers here. Members of the panel were Dean Norval N. Luxon of the UNC School of Journalism; Dr. Curtis D. MacDougall, professor of journal ism at Northwestern University; A. Gayle Waldrop, director of the University of Colorado School of Journalism, and Dr. James L. God frey, - UNC proefssor of English history. Each critized seven different newspaper editorial pages. Godfrey found editorials on the 83rd Congress "very similar to news stories . . . item by item stuff . . wtih no attempt to evaluate" He said most editors appeared "too loyal to ignore it and too wise to praise it and they simply ac cepted it and sought to leave the .ia9.pressi0a.that all had gone well." MacDougall described himself as "an unreconstructed new dealer, . . . and I don't believe I lived through 20 years of treason'," he complained that to many editorial writers, "an argument is answered because Ike is for it . . . you bow down to Mecca . . . and I'll be darned if I believe it" Claiming that in his group of papers there was little evaluation of congressional action, MacDoug all said the tone of the editorials was: "Ike wanted it. Ike got it. Good! Ike wanted it. Ike didn't get it. Awful!" MacDougall and Godfrey had! differing views on editorials on the Supreme Court's school segre gation decision. Godfrey said editorialists failed to regard the losses as well as the (See GODFREY, page 4.) Muntzing Vote Was J3-9 For Approval By LOUIS KRAAR Aftr two- Manning Muntzing supporters staged a walkout Mon day night at the Student Party closed caucus, the group voted 13-9 against "disapproval of Muntzing's actions" in cutting committee meetings, an inform ed source said yesterday. However, Jim Turner a strong iWuntzing supporter and Joel Fleshman, leader of the censure movement, did not vote. And, of course Muntzing himself did not vote.1 Fleshman, SP chairman, object ed to the fact that Muntzing cut vital- committee and cacus meet ings, then spoke against SP b.s on the Legislature floor. He j?ro posed that the caucus vote dis approval of Muntzing's actions in cutting the meetings. Louis Brumfield spoke for Muntzing, then stormed from the room. Don Warren did not vote, and Muntzing still came out un-censured. By LLOYD SHAW The student Legislature passed Tommy Bennett's (SP) bill last night giving' the campus more polling places during election. Polls will be placed during the first general election in all dorms, in the Fraternity courts, in Victory Village, and other places on and off campus.

This bill was reported out of Finance Committee favorably, with a vote of 6-2 Wed nesday. It was introduced by Bob Harrington (SP). Yesterday's report in The Daily Tar Heel pointed to the note of party unity on which the meet- Dorm Maid Bill By a close vote the bill calling for. a committee to investigate the possibility of maid service in the dorms passed. This bill was intro duced to the legislature last week by UP floor leader, Max Crohn. Crohn's other bill asking for an in vestigation of gas prices in Chapel Hill passed the Legislature with no negative votes.

Whether it is better to stirk to tradition with sweaters A -"III I Jt. .to show? and skirs or whether to go all out for comfort and style in Bermuda shorts? Is Carolina getting behind the times? We hope not, but we seem to be a little slow when it come to campus wear. Convention is hold ing out! Not that tradition and convention are bad, but sometimes practicality is more important. Bermuda shorts are the cry. All through the nation, colleges and high schools are, taking this trend to the classroom in the form of Bermuda shorts. Vassar, Smith and others have started. Why not us? Carolina thinks of itself as be ing liberal; wouldn't this be a step forward? Comfort is an important factor in study, work and play. Even though a cold snap hit us yester day, the weatherman has predicted more of the warmer weather for the next few weeks. The necktie and, coat for men's classroom wear recently went out with a bang, to add to the relief and comfort of gentlemen, whose main objective was to learn under the best possible condition, not to put on a formal style show. Outmod'sd Tradition The day has long passed when a girl's bare knee received s curious glance much less a shocked one. Why should we cling to such an outmoded tradition? There are lots 'of us who would 1 love to go to class in Bermudas, Ibut our main ' problem is: Wno wants to go first? We have consulted a few stud ents and got about this question, the following results. J I 'h Annette Leveson, a stray Greek, Alderman Dorm "I think it's per fectly all right, and certainly girls should be allowed to if boys are. I might even buy myself a pair." Marilyn Zager, Smith Dorm, "I don't see anything wrong with it, but I don't believe too many people 1 would ' do it anyway." I Ginny Green, Alpha Delta Pi "I think it's a very good idea for labs I and afternoon classes, but not for j the morning." i An Alpha Gam says "I think they are a little too informal for class, and I don't particularly like , the idea." j Bob Everley, a Lamba Chi, and j his fraternity brothers say: "By all means, we're for them unanimous ly." Bebe Bauman, Tri Delt "Fabu lous idea and they are very com fortable." The general opinion at the Pi Phi House is "No." Bobby Walker, Chi Omega Violin Concert Slated Soon Maurice Wilk, of New York, will present a violin concert Tuesday night, Oct. 19, at 8 o'clock in Hill Hall. Accompanied by Dr. Wilton Ma son of the Music Department, Wrilk will play a program including works by Kreisler, Beethoven, Bach and Paganini. Wilk received his early educa tion in the New York public school system and the High School of Mu sic and Art, in New York. The violinist has spent many summers at the Middlebury Com posers Conference in Vermont, where artists present new compo sitions before the severest of all critics the composers them selves. Wilk has often presented the works of contemporary American , ' composers, including many pre-; mier performances of such com- posers as Aaron Copland, Norman Dello Joio, Roger Goib, Everett Helm, Gail Kubik, Walter Piston, Halsey Stevens and Otto Leuning. Wilk recently received the honor of being asked to open the Ameri can Festival of Music, held at the what work he proposes to undertake. Women's Late Hours A special sign-out sheet will be used in coed dorms and sorority house for girls going on the Maryland football car avan to Washington, Women's Residence Council Chairman Ruth Jones said yesterday.

I think they are National Gallery of Art in Wash- great and so easv to take care of." I mgton, D. C. A coed in Mclver said "I'm all for it." Davis Merritt, Cobb Dorm "It makes no .difefrence to me. They are acepted in other places, and I can Nsee no 'reason why they shouldn't be here." Two Kappa Deltas think that Bermuda shorts are "very com fortable and practical, and theyl j will save wear and tear on skirts j and sweaters." 4 1 : & " 4 ; 1 The Last Day Yackety-Yack Business Mana ger Tom Spain has 'declared that today will be absolutely the last day for societies and organiza tions to contract space for the 1955 annual.
