SUMMARY
By FRED POWLEDGE
The General Assembly turned
toward the University of North
Carolina this week, and fire
works' resulted.
Three incidents were promi
nent. (1) A joint legislative commit
tee for naming University trus
tees failed" to reelect 11 present
trustees, among them two long
time members, Maj. L., P. Mc
Lendon of Greensboro and Dr.
Clarence Poe of Raleigh.
(2) Joint Appropriations sub
committe voted to raise tuition
for non-resident students at
state-supported colleges. The
group . later approved a motion
to exempt non-resident students
on scholarships from the tuition
raise, after hearing arguments
that exemption would result in
"state subsidization of athletes."
Rep. John Umstead of Orange
County has been identified as
originator of the motion to ex
empt scholarship-holders. Um
stead said he was aware "it is,
in a way, subsidization of a par
ticular group."
(3) A bill was introduced in
the House calling for separate,
40-member board of trustees for
each of the three units of the
Consolidated University.

OF THE WEEK S NEWS FROM RALEIGH:
Legislature Turns Towar
tions in the selection of trustees
of the Consolidated Universi
ty ... "
The newspaper, in Under the
Dome, recounted a Feb. 28 meet
ing of the Board of Trustees in
Raleigh, at which a "sharp but
one-sided fight" took place over
whether Negro farm and home
agents should be allowed to take
part in a workshop at State Col
lege. After the election of trus
tees this week, a rumor was cir
culated to the effect that the
joint committee blackballed
every trustee who had voted for
allowing Negroes to attend State
College classes.
(The trustees, in their Febru
ary meeting, approved by a 57
15 majority the Negro question,
after being told the Negroes
would be fed and housed off
the campus.) .
The rumor held that a group
of House members had set up
a list of trustees to be elected.
This alleged list was to exclude
any trustees who had voted for
allowing Negroes to attend the
State College classes.
But, said The News and Ob
server, the bloc may have "con
tributed to the downfall of some
of the trustees but it could not
claim full responsibility for
what happened in the voting on
Wednesday night."
The newspaper said seven of
the 11 trustees who were not
reelected voted for the work
shop, one opposed it and three
were not listed as voting.
Of the 10 trustees who were

reelected, said the newspaper,
six voted for the workshop, two
voted against it and two were
not listed as voting.
The News and Observer cited
other possible reasons for Mc
Lendon's and Poe's failure to
be reelected. "In McLendon's
case," the article read, "the Guil
ford legislative delegation was
sharply split and Rep. Thomas
Turner, one of the House mem
bers, was running himself. In Dr.
Poe's case, there were these
complications: Rep. Edwin Pou
of Wake was making a bid of
his own, and W. C. Harris Jr.,
son of the late Superior Court
judge, was trying to succeed his
father on the board."
Rep. Turner, Rep. Pou and
Harris were successful.
The News and Observer edi
torially praised McLendon and
Poe. Their dismissal, said the
newspaper, "and others like
them now and before does not
hurt them so much as it cheap
ens the Board of Trustees."
The Joint Appropriations sub
committe this week voted to
raise out-of-state students' tui
tion fees by $140 per year. Such
a raise would bring non-residents'
fees to an even $500.
A day later, Rep. John Um
stead from Chapel Hill intro
duced a motion in subcommittee
to exempt out-of -staters on
scholarships from paying the ad
ditional tuition. The motion pas

Gray was introduced and read
at the meeting.
Gray's letter, according to a
highly official source yesterday,
said this:
The president does not advo
cate exemption of non-resident
scholarship holders, because it
seems to him that such exemp
tion would establish the policy
of special treatment for a spe
cial group.
The president feels that the
General Assembly, if it must
make increases in tuition, should
not, as a result of the increases,
reduce the University's appro
priation. Rather, he feels, pro
ceeds should be applied to re
store the cuts made in the Con
solidated University's appropri
ation. Rep. Umstead, who has been
criticized because he agreed the
scholarship exemption "is, in a
way, subsidization of a particu
lar group," yesterday answered
his criticism.
Umstead outlined "three main
reasons why I introduced the
motion that the increased tui
tion for out-of-state schools
should not apply to the holder
of a scholarship."
His reasons follow:
First, "The basketball team
at State and the basketball team
at the University of North Ca
rolina are composed almost en
tirely of out-of-state students.
These students are at these insti
tutions on scholarships . set up
on the basis of $360 out-of-state

to the FBL His close association
with Scales was from September,
1948, to October 1951, Clontz has
testified. He usually prefaced his
replies to Rein with the statement
that what he said was his "best
recollection." -
' Rein, a , Washington, D. C. law
yer, established that at the first
meeting of the two men in Scales'
Carrboro home "the defendant, did
not say the party advocated force
and violence. Clontz' said the first
statement of this kind came in
December, 1948, when Scales told
him "force is the only answer."

these scholarships is contribu
ted by loyal alumni of each in
stitution, and everyone knows
that the Wolfpack Club at State
and the Educational Foundation
of Chapel Hill have, and are
now having, their problems. To
impose this additional charge
on the holders of scholarships
would cripple the present pro
gram at each institution."
Secondly, "These scholarships
bring to the student body of
each institution fine students
and good campus citizens from
other states. In the past, and un
doubtedly in the future, num
bers of these ' boys have
elected to remain as citizens of
North Carolina after their grad
uation from the institution they
were attending. Any interested
alumnus of either institution can
give you names of persons who
are now fine citizens of the
state who came to one of these
institutions on a scholarship."
Thirdly, "Although this seems
to be a subsidy to those holding
tliese scholarships, the majority
of them makes a contribution
to the state revenues that, in
my opinion, will more than equal
the loss in revenue occasioned
by not collecting the additional
tuition from them. J am getting
figures from the athletic de
partment of both institutions,
and I am certain that the three
percent tax that North Carolina
levies on admissions will be a
sum more han that involved in
removing scholarships from the
extra charge, in addition to ad
as preaching force and violence,
Rein asked why the FBI had not
arrested him on the basis of
Clontz' report. "That's not the
way we do things in this country,"
said Clontz., ,
The two lawyers, witness and J
defense counsel, at one point were
discussing a copy of the magazine
Political Affairs which Clontz said
Herbert Aptheker of New York
sent him. Clontz first said he had
read an article in it which cover
ed the' subject of a 1950 speech by
Aptheker to the Karl Marx Study
Club at the University of North
Carolina. Later he said he had
glanced through . it with Scales.
Rein wanted to know whether
"read" and glance through" mean
the same thing to Clontz. "Some of
these Communist articles can best
be read by glancing through
them," Clontz replied.

IWC Recipient Of $350
For Operation In' 5 6
By NEIL BASS
The student Legislature in a four hour session last night
stamped fina'l approval on the 1955-5G student government
budget. The only sizeable slash that the budget calls for is
a $5,000 reduction in The Daily Tar Heel appropriation.
The Daily Tar Heel slash, made for the most part in sal
aries of staff members, reduces
the student newspaper's appro
priation from $26,373.60 last year
to $21,426.00 this year.
Of the staff salary cuts, the edi-tor-inchief's
money was lowered
from $600 per year to $300 per
year, and the subscription mana
ger's salary was moved down by
$173. ,
- It was anticipated by some that
the Legislature wjuld cut the pa
per but some fast talking by Bill
Bob Peel, incoming business man
ager of the- paper, dashed cold
water on other proposed reduct
ions. "PAPER COULD BE
SELFSUPPORTING"
The, legislators apparently had
their eyes on cutting out the pa
per's AP wire service and other
parts of the paper's facitities, but
the assertion by Peel that the
paper might support itself next
year dulled some ; of the money
slashing knives.
r "I don't see why' The Daily Tar
Heel, with 6,40ft circulation could
not support itself ... and I will
work toward that goal," Peel said.
Peel proposed that he and the
rest of the business staff, through
an increased and stimulated ad
vertising program, might avoid the
necessity of having money given
to the paper from the budget in
the coming year.
The chief item in the paper's
Duaget tnat some 01 me Doay
seemed bent on deleting, the wire
among the body.
If The Daily Tar Heel has to
have state news and game scores
that it cannot get without the wire
service, it can copy the informa -
tion "from the radio," said Frank
Warren (SP). Jack Hudson (SP),
said that the paper staff could
cut the news from "other papers."
But this brought Jim Monteith
and Bill Baum to the rescue of
the wire service. After appeals
from the two for salvation of the
service, the body killed the Hud
son proposed motion.
. The appropriation for the Inde
pendent Women's Council, which
requested $350, was restored to
the budget and approved after
much argument.
Marilyn Zager, leader of the
council, pointed out to the Legis
lature that her organization rep
resented "all the women students
I on campus who are not members
of a sorority . . . and since other
representative groups get money
from the budget," why was the
IWC money taken from the bud
get allocations?
Manning Muntzing (SP) sprang
to his feet after Miss Zager's ap
peal, and told the body that he
would "deplore" the situation if
the IWC were not given funds.
He was followed to the rostrum
by David Reid who repudiated
Muntzing for his "infantile show
of emotion." Reid didn't like the
idea of giving the IWC money be
cause he explained that "the in
centive" of the independent body
would be taken away if the Legis
lature granted it funds.
Reid said he spoke for "the
best interests of the IWC," but
felt that a fee should be collected
from the members to support the
organization because the Legisla
ture did not have "the ftfnds" to
give.
$5,000 taken from the paper
S350 given to the IWC, $300 given
to the Debate Council and approx
imately $1,800 taken from Gra
ham Memorial were the big
change in the overall budget as
the Finance Committee recom
mended it.
The General Assembly and the
editors don't agree. See p. 2 for
the debate.

Mrs. Koch's book was released
yesterday by Holiday House,, New

? Feodor Rojankovsky, internally

full color illustrations, which have
been described by critic Virginia
Kirkus as realistic enough to
make one actually "feel the heat
of the sun on the sand and the
ocean breezes."
The Library display shows
art work, along with the orginal
manuscript with editorial cor

Mrs. Koch said her first inter
