'Genuine Service'
Robert F. Schenkkan, director of
WUNC-TV here, said yesterday,
"This is a cooperative arrange
ment between WTVD and WUNC
iTV." WUNC-TV considers this "a
genuine service to the state," he
said, "which could not be done
any other way since our transmit
ters are not on the air yet."
Two of the cameras are situated'
in a studio built by State Fair per
sonnel at the main entrance to the
Arena. The other two are placed
at different levels in the central
part of the Arna. .
The director in charge of the
operation sits in the "telecruiser"
with the telecast equipment, di

Schenkkan said yesterday that
he did not wish to release the

He said that the images being

"This is encouraging" he said 'be

pictures from the studio to the
transmitter." WUNC-TVs trans

uled to go on the air in December.
"Cooperation betwen a commer
cial and an educational station is
unusual," said Schenkkan. "I don't
know if it has ever been done be
fore," he added.
He said that while telecasts from
the fair were test programs, "at
the same time they are a public
service to the state and they give

Legislature
Interviews
Today
Two days remain for students
who are interested in attending the
annual North Carolina State Stu
dent Legislature as delegates to be
interviewed by the selction board.
The board will meet tonight from
9 until 10:30 and tomorrow after
noon from 2 until 4:30 in the
Woodhouse Conference Room. All
students of the University are eli
gible for membership in the dele
gation from Carolina.
Applicants are asked questions
on political topics primarily, and
appointment to the delegation is
based on the applicant's interest,
presentation and factuality cf in
formation. The legislature is composed of
delegates from all colleges and
universities in North Carolina, and
size of delegations depend upon
the size of the school represented.
The body gathers to debate and
make resolutions concerning mat
ters of education, North Caroliaa,
the nation and the world.
In 1936 the North Carolina State
Student Legislature convened for
the first time under the sponsor
ship of Pi Kappa Delta, forensic
fraternity at North Carolina State.
In the beginning the body was
more a debating and oratorical so
ciety than a legislative group. In
1945, at the Ninth Annual Assem
bly, the controversial Glenn Reso
lution to admit, delegates fro m
North Carolina's Negro colleges
was debated and passed. In 1947
Pi Kappa Delta and the Student
Legislative Assembly were dissolv
ed, but the Debate Council at
Chapel Hill began all-out efforts to
revive the assembly.' Representa
tives from State, Meredith, WCUN
C and UNC convened and agreed
to continue the assembly, and
in
November of 1947 elected Earl
Fitzgerald of Carolina president of
a nucleus committee and James
Cranford of State secretary-treasurer.

Creasy Sets 'State Of Campus'
Talk To Solons At 8 O'clock
By LLOYD SHAW
After three weeks in committee, SP Ykc Chairman David
Reid's bill "liberalizing punishment in first offense cheating
cases" Avill come before the student Legislature tonight.
The bill was reported out of the Ways and Means Com-
j mittee last week by a vote of 4-2
' with no recommendation to the ,
: Legislature.
I
i
Reid's bill has caused consider
able controversy on campus. Stu-
dent Body President Tom Creasy, j
who will deliver his "State of the'
Campus" speech at Legislature to-!
night, says he will veto the bill if
it passes in its present form. A
two-thirds vote of the Legislature
is necessary to override a presiden
tial veto.
If the vote does not pass the
Legislature, a petition bearing apf
proximately 600 names could call
a reierenaum.
Creasy said this week that the
"principle of the plan is good,"
but added he objected to an auto,
matic probation in every case. -
Reid says "There has long been
a need for rehabilitation and cor
rection, instead of mere punish
ment in first offense cases."
Sophomore Dance Bill
A bill asking $125 to help pay
for a sophomore class dance will,
be voted on tonight. It was re
ported out of Finance Committee
.avorably by a 6-1 vote. An a
mendment was added to the bill
in committee saying that the mon
ey appropriated should not exceed
half the cost of the dance.
"The Summer School Activities
Fee" bill, introduced by- Student
Party Chairman Joel Fleishman,
was reported out of committee un-
animously favorable for the sec
ond time. An amendment was
added setting at 75c the money
from the summer students fee go
;ng to Graham Memorial. The bill
calls for a fee of $1.50 per student
per term.
In his "State of the Campus"
speech, Creasy will speak "on his
program, what has been done, and
what is planned."
The first article of Reid's bill
says: "Convictions of persons for
cheating where it is the first of
fense shall carry with it a maxi
mum penalty of suspension for a
period of one semester. The max
imum penalty for first offense
cheating shall only be imposed on
such offenders as are judged by
the council involved to be flagrant
an( premeditated violators. The
usual punishment tor tirst oilense
cheating convictions will be proba
tion for a period of not less than
one semester nor more than two
semesters."
Article two says: "Individuals
who have been placed on a proba
tion status for cheating will be as
signed by the Dean of Students of
fice to a faculty counselor to whom
the probationer shall report bi
weekly and at other times when
needed to report progress andor
problems of adjustment."
Article three says: "No portion
of this bill is to be interpreted as'
prohibiting or discouraging the
imposition of more moderate pen
alties in cases where the council
involved feels that the circumstan
ces warrant a more lenient penal
ty." In his reasoning before the bill,
Reid says, "There has long been a
need for rehabilitation and correc
tion instead of mere punishment
in first offense cheating cases
brought before the Honor Council;
and reform in this area would en
courage more widespread partici
pation in the operation of the Hon
or System since reporting an indi
vidual would not necessarily mean
'"ltnmatic snnension; and addi
tional flexibility in the distribution
of penalties of this nature would
elevate the Honor Councils from
their present positions closely akin
to juries, to a position of true ju
dicial bodies; and the primary
function of the educational institu
tion is to teach, not punish."
Miss Nancy Whisnant, chairman
of the 'Women's Honors Council, in
a letter to The Daily Tar Heel, said
recently, "If it is passed, I believe
that it would lower the entire
standards of the campus, and thus
would greatly damage the future
jof the present Honor System."

Phi Votes
In Fa vor
Of Bill
The Philanthropic Literary So
ciety voted six to one last night in
favor of the "leniency bill" intro
duced by David Reid in the tudent
Legislature, and the vote of eight
to three by the entire body at the
debate also favored the bill.
Reid's bill, which will be voted
upon in student Legislature to
night, provides for lesser penalties
for students convicted of cheating
and other Honor System offenses.
Rep. John Curtis spoke against
the Reid Bill. Speaker Frank War
ren, Jr., called for the bill to be
brought up at the next meeting in
view of the fact that Sen. Reid was
present.
Sen. Reid, speaking on the bill
for leniency, said the bill was not
his original idea and that it came
from the Judicial Study Commis
sion and from Gene Cooke, the
chairman of the commission, when
they met this summer.
Sen. Reid said Article 1 was the
portion of the bill receiving the
most misunderstanding.
The first article states that con
victions of persons for cheating
where it is the first offense, shall
carry a maximum penalty of sus
pension of one semester, and that
the maximum is only to be impos
ed on persons judged to Be flagrant
and premeditated violators. The
bill proposes a period of not less
than one semester nor more than
two semesters for first offense vio
lators. Reid said first offense cheating
cases not turned in promptly by
the offender immediately would be
suspended.
He said the Honor Council did
not believe in Honor and that they
did not know the meaning of the
word, "premeditated."
Sen. Reid said it was sometimes
impossible to keep from cheating
under certain circumstances. The
bill would violate precedent, but a
new precedent needed to be estab
lished, Reid contended.
Opposition
Rep. James Duval, in opposing
the bill, said the Honor System
may as well be carried all the way.
He debated that a second chance
would not be granted outside . . .
probation won't accomplish any
thing, he said.
Rep. Frank Warren said the pre
vious speaker (Duval) didn't be
lieve there was honor in mankind.
Probation was punishment, Warren
said.
Rep. Richard Albert pointed out
that the Honor System was set up
to encourage the honor of the in
dividual. Albert approved the bill
as it stood. Honor could not be
brought to bear by a punishment
or by a protector, Albert said.
Reid asked Albert if he had al
ways been honest to everyone. Al
bert answered "yes."
Reid asked if Albert believed
that no consideration should be
given a violation of honor. Albert
replied that consideration should
be given, but no line can be drawn.
Second and Third Chance
Rep. Dick Iobst said that all
mere humans should be given a
second and third chance. Being
human to err, man has violated
principles and honor since civiliza
tion began, Iobst said.
Cord. Rep. Albert retorted that
as it is human to err, so is it hu
man to correct.
Rep. Warren reminded the de-
