Judge Says Students Received Fair Trials By DELAINE BRADSHER In answer to a question as to whether the opinion floating around campus that the four boys convicted of taking part in the panty raid received an unfair trial, Judge William S. Stewart said yesterday, T had not heard of that opinion and I dissent on it." Judge Stewart, who is the son-in-law of Chancellor Robert House, said the boys who asked for a jury trial and those who ap pealed would have to appear at the June 20 session of Orange County Superior Court. Gordon Forester, student who has investigated the panty raid case, said yesterday, "According "to sev eral student government leaders with whom I have talked, the de cision to have the nine students tried in Recorder's Court was not agreed to in the meeting called by Dean Roy Holsten."

UNC's YWCA recently attended part of the National YWCA Centennial Convention in New York City. The delegates were Misses Nancy Whisnant, Marietta Everett, Amy Cooke, Ann Jones and Mrs. Kirsten Milbrath. The UNC dele gates were among the 60 student delegates and the 3,400 delegates from Community Ys, Y-Teens and the foreigndivision attending.

It has been named the number one band by Billboard Magazine, Orchestra j World, Campus Magazine and ma Ijor national disc jockey polls. of the Graham Memorial Activities Board and-recently initiated into the Order of the Grail. Forester said "Manning Munt zing, also present, stated that he was against the decision which the student government was called on to agree to." South Building has no control over the civil authorities.. I hope this is true, but I believe Chief Sloan when he says that he would not have prosecuted the boys in Re corder's Court had South Build ing not insisted on it." Lewis Brumfield, who was Pre sent at the meeting, said, "When we were first presented with the possibility of having the boys tried by civil court we were all against it. Finally we acquiesced in the decision. I don't think it would have made any difference what student government officials thought." UNC Attend Y Meet Harold Stassen, Dr. Rollo May, Dr. Ralph Bunche, Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge, Dr. Paul Tillich and Dr. John C. Bennett (Union The ological Seminary) were among the highlights of the sessions which the UNC delegates attended. , One of the discussion groups which . the delegates participated in gave several answers to the question of "What is the YWCA?" Some of these answers were a fel lowship of Chirstian women, a community agency, a channel for .vomen to understand themselves Student Postpones By NEIL BASS The student Legislature voted last night to postpone the proposed fee-raise referendum for another week. This is the second time the date for voting on a fee raise has been moved " to a later date. The Legislature decided the fate of two bills on an otherwise com paritively lax agenda. The two measures voted on were: 1) A bill to appropriate $135 to the junior class for a "picnic," and 2) A bill to appropriate $450 to the All-Campus Conference, The conference appropriation passed without opposition. The appropriation for the jun ior class failed despite an appeal by class President Bill Sanders. The reason the various repre sentitives gave for rejecting the bill were that the Legislature, in Larry McElroy's words, "ain't got the money;" '. and secondly, it might pave the way for other "special legislation," Again in the words of McElroy, Student Party floor leader. REFERENDUM 'ADVERSE EFFECTS' The referendum on student fees was scheduled to be held on May 3, but a motion by , Bob Young 1, (SP) called for the vote to be put off until May 10. ' The reasons Young gave for i shelving the referendum on the i shelf temporarily again were: 1) The newly elected Elections Board chairman had not had time to "set up" the board for a referendum, and 2) The state Legislature will ; be discussing "a dormitory rent hike on the same day." Young emphasized, and the Leg islature endorsed, that while a "self-imposed" raise tiy the stu dents might not be incentive for the state Legislature to raise dormitory rents, there might be some "adverse effects" if the stu dent body passed the referendum at this time." If. the state Legislature passes the dormitory rent-hike proposal, it will cost dormitory residents $30 more to stay in University residences. If the student body passes the UNC Band Elects Hester President For Next Year The UNC Band has announced its newly-elected officers. Scotty Hester was chosen presi dent; Johnny Wooten, vice-president; Eddie Bass, secretary-treasurer; John Martin, quartermaster, and Don Jefferson, publicity ma nager. Retiring officers are Ken Pru itt, president; Hubert Wainer, vice-president; Johnny Wooten, secretary-treasurer; Charles 'Cul berath, quartermaster, and Don' Hall, publicity manager. The Concert Band has five re maining performances this year. and the world they live in, a place for leadership training for com munity affairs and pioneers inhu man relations. Harold Stassen tojd the group that world peace through dis armament is one of the areas in which the' YWCA can work in the years to come. ' The convention took action tn the basic standards of the YWCA and on a statement of inclusive ness which resolved that each YWCA evaluate its progress in racial inclusiveness, LegilQt Fee fee-raise referendum on the 10th of May, the student Constitution will be opened for a $5 raise per student per year in student fees.

The reason Jim Exum, chairman, and the committee gave for not putting the bills and resolutions before the body was that they were "so abstract" the Legisla ture couldn't do anything about them anyway. however, was done by Miss Bo Bernardin. This song and dance was a colorful bit of production called "One Man Ain't Quite Enough." Lewis Brumfield's familiar and refreshing personality seeped from behind the bars of a train station ticket window. He pro vided good comic filler material.

This is the action the administration has taken as a result of the Trustee Visiting Committee's rec- ommendation that UNC attempt to improve the regulation of the use of cars and that it consider seriously the question of posses sion of automobiles by undergra duates." "Our conclusion is that we do not. at this time favor arbitrary denial of the privilege of keeping an automobile to any class of stu dents except those who forfeit the privilege as a result of legal or disciplinary action," said Wea ver. . . . According to the proposal, after next, fall's registration "a letter must be sent to the parents of all students under 21 years of age who indicate that they will keep a car. The letter ..will remind the parents of the. University request that they not permit their son or daughter - to keep an automobile in Chapel except in instances of genuine need for one and ask that they file with us a notice of con sent." Another proposal is ". . . admin- j istrative enforcement of certain minimal requirements for keeping a car." "In this," Weaver said, "we would . seek student f cooperation and support." For example, persis tent violations of traffic rules or other abuses would lead to action ranging from a warning and pro bation to suspension from col lege." The statement goes on to sug gest a joint conference of town and University representatives looking toward improved mutual assistance in dealing with the pro. blem of traffic control. Discussion ' of the Visiting Com mittee's recommendations was mndnrt.ed in thft Council on Stu dent Affairs, at which the student tiody president and other student representatives were present, along with the Administrative Board of Student Affairs and the Student Activities staff.
