' . With a vote of 20 to 15 the Ph) voted in favor of a bill stating 'That a program of rehabilita tion and of punishment by means ther than death be instituted to eplace capital punishment." The topic was introduced by Harold D. Downing, chairman of the Ways- and Means Committee. There were many visitors pres ent for the first meeting, several of whom participated in the pro gram. . Jess Stribling, a visiting fresn- man from Evanston, 111., chosen "speaker of the evening. Stribling, speaking in opposition to capital punishment, had this to say about the subject: "There is no reason for basics this discussion - on . emotionalism. Historically speaking, the tend ency has been leniency in the use of capital punishment does not serve its purpose as a deterent to crime." Rep. Glass, speaking in favor of capital punishment, said "Most, of Lhe time when a criminal is sen tenced to life imprisonment he is paroled at the end of 20 or 30 ears. Who is to say that he won't o out again and commit the same Irime that he did in the past?" Rep. Harold Downing summed up the arguments for the affirma tive when he said '"There is a jreat historical evidence of constantly-increasing leniency in the field of criminal punishment and rehabilitation. Since it is beyond human reason for one to condemn another to death, then a system of rehabilitation, which would in sure justice, prevent crime to ev ery possible extent and reform the offender, should be instituted." ring.

They said a story in yesterday's Dairy Tar Heel in which Interfraternity Council President Ed Borden said three , other fraternities were in- J terested in the project, was incor rect. The project Borden was talking about, Twisdale and Watts said, was another proposed fraternity court, and not the one located on Highawy 54. Borden, questioned last night, said there had been several pro posals concerning new fraternity courts, and that he was thinking about another court when ques tioned about the Highway 54 pro ject. The Gamma Nu foundation, said Twisdale, is an "incorporated, non profit .foundation dealing with building projects for Lambda Chi Alpha." He said the fraternity had spent more than six months work ing on the court project.

He and Watts added the fraternity is on the national; society's list for a new home. The two said. they are working with Charles Nottingham of the Pines Restaurant on the project. Nottingham, they said, is the agent fo the corporation selling the land about four acres. Nottingham is also a member of the corporation, they said. "We plan to ask other fraterni ties which we have in mind" to move wtih Lambda Chi to the new location, said Twisdale. He said he was "interested in hearing" from interested fraternities. Lamb da Chi has "no preference" as to the' other fraternities, he said. Professional fraternities are wel come to talk with him about the project,, he added. . "We've combed this town . . . from one end to the other trying to find a suitable place to move into," said Twisdale.
