Conference Start College Student Legislature Will Gobi Off Tonight By NEIL BASS The student Legislature meets tonight at 7:30 for a cooling off session. The comparatively mild atmos phere will be the result of stu dent politicians' catching their breaths after steaming party nom inations. More controversy and interest were maintained at one of the nomination sessions than the oth er. The Student Party haggled and deliberated for two hours be fore it picked a nominee for the presidency of the student , body. ' The University Party listened to Rollie Tillman praise Ed Mc Curry for four minutes, and then shooed him in as their candidate by acclamation. Three more min utes .elapsed and the party had Jiven Jim Martin the right to Represent it in the student body treasurer's race. , So the Legislators will shuffle into the Philanthropic Assembly hall, . listen to , Martin Jordan rap his gavel commanding their at tention, and probably hurriedly dispose of the three bills to be considered According to Jack Stevens, UP floorleader, and ; David ; Reid, SP floorleader, none of the three measures to be considerd promis es to arouse much argument. The bfil of the night, however, is one asking for legislature endorse ment of the revisd Interdormitory Council bylaws. The two major phanges to the bylaws are: . (1) The .removal of a clause in the bylaws, and thus in the stu dent Constitution, calling for "An advisor appointed by the Univer- sity" to sit On the Council from each dorm (This vacancy has been filled by an IDC representative from each men's dorm) and, (2) Provision for a summer school IDC. "If the Legislature approves these bylaws, they will go to the stur dent body in a referendum for final okay. This bill is co-intro- duced by the SP and UP. Other bills to come up before the body are: (1) A bill to pay Tom Creasy's way to an integra tion conference at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and (2) A bill t0 give Carolina For um a man on Debate Council. Both of these ideas are intro duced by the SP. The tabulation for the year now stands at 26 bills' passed by the SP and 8 for the UP. Commenting on " the year's box score Stevens 6f the UP said the SP measures were" so much "junk mail'' that looked good on the A TWO-PART SURVEY: The Report On (Editor's net: This is first of two articles dealing with th re port of North Carolina's Com mission on Higher Education. The next will deal with the functioning of the system.) By DAVE MUNDY "State-Supported Higher Edu cation in North Carolina," says the title of the green-backed pamphlet subtitled "The Report of the Commission on Higher Education." The commission was created by the General Assem bly in April of 1953 and ap pointed by Governor Umstead in' the fall of the same year. To the person unfamiliar with the state's institutions of higher learning the report's description of them would be quite inter Today Campus surface, but were "impossible" to carry through. He explained that although his faction was numeri cally behind . the SP in passing bills, the few that they had ram med through were important and workable enough to more than compensate for the difference. David Reid, SP leader, answered the statement by saying, "The SP has introduced and enacted mea sures we felt were to the best interest of the student body as a whole. When officials of student government are afraid to intro duce legislation and work todawrd the completion of any project be cause they fear failure, then stu dent government will be as in effective as the measures intro duced by the UP this year."

Heading the series of descrip tions of institutions is the Uni versity of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, which, says the re port, "is one of the nation's great universities, having be come a center of higher educa tional activities of many kinds." North Carolina State College of Agriculture and Engineering "has become a great center of science . and technology." It is also characterized as "the tech nical branch of the Consolidated University of North Carolina. Then there are the three white institutions, whose chief purpose is the retaining of teachers for the public schools.

' Invitations to the reception have been sent to Chancellor House and other member of the administra tion. Jim Wallace, director of Gra ham Memorial, yesterday extended an invitation to "all interested people." Miss Love lives in Chapel Hill and was for a long time an em ployee of the University Library. She is the sister of Spencer Love of Burlington Mills and the daugh ter of James Lee Love, a graduate of UNC in the class of 1884. Miss Love has given the piano in memory of her father, who was at one time a faculty member here and later a member of the faculty of Harvard University. He made numerous contributions to the University. Professor William Newman of the music department will play a few selections on the nine foot long Steinway at the reception. ville liave recently dropped the teachers" part of their titles, which is indicative of curricu lum expansions into the fields of business administration, nursing and courses in pre-pro-fessional subjects such as den tistry, engineering, law, and medicine. Appalachian State Teachers College significantly and mean ingfully retains the "Teachers" in its title. Pembroke State College, es tablished in 1887, was originally an institution restricted to the Indians of Robeson County. Ac tion of the General Assembly in 1953 made it "possible for white students to be admitted up to a maimum of 40 per cent of the total enrollment."

GMAB President Says Student Union Behind "Graham Memorial is so far be hind the other two schools in the Consolidated University in not on ly the physical plant but in the allocation of finances that it is impossible to present an adequate program or to hire a professional staff to carry out this program," said Graham Memorial Activities Board President Gordon Forester this week to the Complaints Board of the student Legislature. Carolina receives only $6 per student per year; Woman's College education There are five institutions for Negroes. North Carolina College at ; Durham, with its graduate and professional schools, can be considered the Negro university. The Negro Agricultural and Technical College of North Car olina (at Greensboro) is just that. It does offer Master's de grees in several technical fields. Fayetteville State Teachers' College, Elizabeth City State Teachers' College and Winston Salem Teachers' College are the Negro institutions for training Negro teachers. 0 The catalog of institutions of higher learning totals 12 four year colleges. One isn't coedu cational. One is Indian-white, five Negro and six white. ofnore Heel Says Faculty Faculty Council last fall. His ap 1 pearance before the committee was result of a student Legislature bill introduced by Manning Muntzing and Max Crohn propos ing certain changes in the cut sys tem. The change from "absence" to "unexcused absence" is the first one made by the committee.

I feel that by continued work and effort on the part of Student Government we will suc ceed." - receives $19 per student and State College receives $20 per student; Graham Memorial's director is paid a salary that is half of what the directors at the other two schools receive, Forester went on to explain. This was the second meeting of the board, which has scheduled meetings every other week. Mem brs of the Board are: Bob Harring ton, chairman, Bobbie Walker, Jack Hudson, Ruth Jones, Tom Johnson, and Marty Jordan. The Complaints Board was set up to hear complaints from stu dents who come of their own in itiative. The complaints are turn ed over directly to the Executive Committee of Legislature, which decides the validity of the com plaints. The student making the complaint will receive a report on his complaint from the Execu tive Committee. Meetings of the Complaints Board are not public unless the student making the . complaint wishes theni to be so. This policy was adopted by the board to "pro tect the students." .Both the University Party and the Student Party are represented on the board. One legislative rep resentative from men's town dis trict and two from men's dorm 'district, plus one representative from the women's towp district and one from the women's dorm district, make up the membership. The party having the majority in voting districts determines party representation on the board. avid I Viumdi ndidac Ed fit w Assails Kraar-Yoder Policies And Emphasis David' Mundy, former columnist for The Daily Tar Heel, yesterday made a statement in which he formally announced his candidacy fori the editorship of the newspaper. . Mundy is a sophomore from Black. Mountain. He is clerk of the Dialectic Literary Society.- ; - Mundy's statement read as fol lows: "I had hoped to see in the race for the editorship an opportunity for the students to make some decisions regarding conduct and policies of The Daily Tar Heel. Tthat the two othfcr candidates would be in the race, I know. It was only this weekend that I belatedly learned , that they have formed a corporation and decid ed to run as candidates for a proposed co-editorship. "This likelihood of any oppor tunity for the students by vote to express their desires concern ing the conduct of The Daily Tar Heel, and the very unfortunate present condition of the student newspaper, have promptd my can didacy. "The candidates for co-editor have served as associate editors Of The Daily Tar Heel. At the risk of being accused of "a person al attack, I must declare that they are in part responsible for the present condition of the paper. '.The news function of the stu dent newspaper has been largely ignored by, the editors. "I cannot in justice blame the news staff for faulty and scanty coverage. The staff is pitifully small and composed chiefly of first-year students The task' of campus news coverage is simply beyond their limitations. I com mend them for as well as they have done "The two candidates, during their period of responsibility this year, have done little to main tain a sizeable staff. I have seen a great number of students come up to The Daily Tar Heel offer ing to 'help out.' They receive no encouragement and leave. Their nominal superiors, the news and managing editors, simply have too much to do themselves. Were it plausible that the two candidates reform, change their interests and emphasis, and really work at the job of publishing a paper, I would not be a candidate. "My candidacy is no part of any plan to 'get' anyone. The pa per needs whatever help that any one can offer. Mr Kraar and Mr. Yoder, both interesting writers, are an asset to the paper as such. It is their emphasis and manage ment policies which give cause for concern. "It is n0 plot to 'capture' the group. Were I editor, I would ex pect to be much too busy in the management and maintenance of an effective staff. My own opinion quite' definitely labeled as my own, would be offered on such subjects as I thought of importance to the student body. All other opinions, of whatever degree, would be quite welcome. "In short, I do not feel that the duty of the editor is to stim rlate opinion, challenge unjust prejudices and make students re alize why they think as they do. The editor's, or the co-editors' duty is instead' to 'get out' a pa per' of interest and value to the entire, student body. "It is that for which I expect to work, and for which end I expect to be a , candidate f or the SP endorsement next Monday."
