The leaders, among them YMCA and YWCA presidents and a former and present editors: of The Daily Tar Heel, asked the Board of Trustees to give the three students "their. most earn est, consideration" and asked them to "approve if at all pos sible the admission of these stu dents." The three Negroes, all from Durham, are being backed in their plans to enter UNC by the Na tional Assn. for the Advance ment of Colored People. Attorney C. O. Pearson, Durham lawyer, is legal counsel for the students and the NAACP. The students have been turn ed down by the University Ad missions Office. Pearson has said he plans to take his case to Consolidated University President Gordon Gray "sometime next week." If the administration does not allow the students to enter, said Pearson, he will take the case to the trustees. If trustees resfuse, he said, he will seek a federal court order. University policy is to allow Negroes in graduate or profess ional school when the state does not provide such schools for Negroes. Signers of the statement re- students, all graduating seniors at leased yesterday said they "be- a Durham high chool.

The statement termed the school's decision "one of the most momentous decisions in the his tory of the University. That de cision, whether or not to admit qualified Negro students to the undergraduate schools next fall, will not be an easy one to make; and the results of a decision either way will be far-reaching." j " ! ., ..' . . t j Other officers elected by the .

Therefore, we urge the Board of Trustees and .the administration to give this matter their most earn est consideration; and in the light of. the Supreme Court decision, the tradition of the University and the implications of the Christian faith, to approve if at all possible the admission of these students. The ideal of human equality and freedom of association is one that can no longer be relegated to some future time."

The source, himself a member of student government, said a petition, signed by 15 student leg islators, has been presented for the purpose of holding a special session sometime during the com ing week. Original purpose of the special session, said the source, was to consider money legislation left over from this week's meeting. But, said the source, a resolu- tion is in- the process of being drafted. It would, according to j the source, ask student govern- ment leaders to help the three Howie Named To Lead Business Fraternity Jim Howie, junior in the School of Business Administration from Monroe, was elected head master of Alpha Lambda chapter of Del ta Sigma Pi, professional business fraternity, in elections held this T1 r j" r- 1 ian, and Lonnie Sides, Charlotte, treasurer.

Some Were Confused On Vote Meaning Apparently there was some con fusion among the 1,183 voters in this week's referendum on the pro posed hike in student fees. According to some ballots which were found lying in the. office .of The Daily Tar Heel yesterday, the voters could not understand the ballots. Here are some of the remarks which were written on the ballots: "You 'verbose' politicians, how can I understand you?" On the same ballot the confused voter had written, "Which way do I vote to leave things as they are?" Another befuddled voter gave up in his attempt to check the bal lot "for" or "against" arid wrote, "I do not want fees raised you j figure out how I should check." A third voter who was also ap- ; parently confused remarked on his ballot that the phrasing of the changes was "very poor" and ad ded that such phrasing "is per- " " I l Outstanding Air Cadets Recognized In Review The Dept. of Air Science here year, recognized the out-standing Cadet TSgt.

"Unfortunately the Forum has had many more Democrats (all but two) this year," Reid said. Reid indicated that complaints about unfair representation have been received. Explanation of the seemingly Democratic tendencies of the Forum lies in the fact that al though mori? invitations were sent to Republicans, more Dem ocrats responded favorably, ac cording to Reid. Reid said he hoped the Forum would regain the importance it once had. "Important speeches" used to be made here and the new Forum would "like to re create that" atmosphere, said Reid. The Forum hopes to get a more vavied slate of speakers next year, Reid said. "We hope to get some writers, educators and historians," j he said. lie also said the Forum ! would avoid "bottlenecks where tv0 or more speakers are sche duled for the same month." Also, no late spring soeakers will be j scheduled, he added. J
