After Representative Terms Officials Inert y By NEIL BASS The University has been and is taking action to correct the student car problem, according to Consolidated Univers ity Secretary William Friday. Friday's statement was made yesterday in response to an accusation by state Rep. John' t mstead that the University hadn't done "anything" to solve the prob lem. Umstead, member of the Univer sity's Board of Trustees, asked the Chapel Hill-Carrboro Merchants Assn. Tuesday night to appoint a committee to "investigate" the student car problem. He said he felt the trustees should take action because the administration had failed to act. Croweli fittle, president of the association told a reporter yester day he had appointed the commit tee, but that no real "action" was planned on the problem. Little, wh0 said he was personally op posed to the formation of the committee, said anything that might come from it would be given only from the viewpoint of "in terested citizens." Harvey Bennett of Chapel Hill has been named to head the committee, Little said. When Dean of Student Affairs Fred Weaver was notified of Um stead's statement, he referred a reporter to his memorandum of April, x955. The memorandum was addressed - to Chancellor Robert House and pointed out that the University had taken definite steps tQ correct the "car prob lem." TRUSTEE REPORT Weaver's memorandum states that the University recognized the Visiting Committee of the Board of Trustees' two major recom mendations and had complied with both of them. The Visiting Committee recom mended: (1) "That the administration at tempt to improve the regulation of the use of cars. (2) "That the administration consider seriously the question of the possession of cars by under graduates." Weaver's memorandum stated that point one had been complied with by the "program of compul sory registration of student auto- 1 m A .

"Brainwashing schools such as exist at Stead Air Force Base," said Reid, "emphasize the horror of man's inhumanity to his fellow man."

Homecoming displays, said Miss Anne Carlton of the Uni versity Club, should be up and ready by 10 a.m. Saturday. Judging will start at that time, she said. Miss Carlton said display chairmen of each men's dormi tory, when they have decided on their display, should call her at the Alpha Gamma Delta house immediately. Plans for a Friday "night pep rally were also discussed. The rally is expected 'to start at Woollen Gym with a bonfire around 8 p.m. and will gradual ly work uptown. Collison point ed out that destruction that has accompanied pep rallies in re cent years should be "eliminat ed." Due to the fact that Tuesday meetings conflicted with the meetings of the University Party, the University Club voted to change the time of meetings to Mondays at 7 p.m. chief delegate t0 the United Na tions be elected by popular ballot. The bill was vigorously, attacked from several quarters. Rep. Mc Gilliardo, in reference to the UN delegate, said, "Why not elect the Secretary of State and the Secre tary of Defense?" "The delegate is not advisory to the President," Rep. Brumfield countered. Speaking, against the bill, Rep. Duvall emphasized that an elected delegate would have too much prestige and would overshadow the President. Rep. Katzenstein, elaborating further on Duvall's theme, , said, "Point by point, I have torn the bill asunder." Rep. Brumfield, in a final plea for popular vote of the delegate, encompassed "the good farmers of Yadkin County" and epitomized his speech with,- "Why must we fear the -people?" There were five abstentions from the voting. Speaker for the evening was Rep. Taylor. in executive session following the debate, five new members were initiated into the Phi. They were: Conditional Representatives Eemley, Culhrell, Stribbling, Ted der and Tolman. No Legislature The student Legislature wi!l not meet tonight or next Thurs day due to fraternity rushing, according to Jack Stevens vice president of the student body.

(See UP, page 4) JAPANESE UNIVERSITY: 1? 1 51 f hows .Democracy s BF1 H By FRED POWLEDGE Japanese universities, says Eiji Kojima, try to show their students that democracy is bet ter than communism by helping them in a democratic way. , That way, he said yesterday, is a lot. better than speaking out directly against the Communist Party, which is a legal organ ization in Japan. Kojima is a professor of eco nomic geography in Keio Uni versity, Tokyo. Currently study ing American universities and colleges, he spent two days here this week. Although economic geography is not a very political field, he said, the question of commun ism enters in at Keio. Approx imately 200 Keio students are communists, he said, and there are cells in every college and university in Japan. "We try our .best to make student life comfortable," he said, and "try to make the fi nancial condition of the stu dents better." Thus, he feels, democratic methods will show the supremacy of democracy to communism. "We don't say much directly about communism," Kojima said.. He added that he and. others at Keio try to ignore the fact that communism exists, and "just say that democracy is better." Students who believe in com munism, he said, are allowed to maintain their beliefs. Kojima said he would consider it an abridgment of a student's right to know if he were condemned for communistic leanings. Kojima said Keio University was founded by Oiukichi Fuku zawa, the man who introduced western educational methods to Japan. Fukuzawa also brought liberal thought and the "west ern way of thinking" to Japan, he said. Asked about the current up roar in America's South about what Gov. Hodges has termed the "drastic reduction in U. S. cotton textile tarriff rates for ithe benefit of Japan," Kojima said he feels Japan will "for a certain degree" attempt volun tary controls of textile exports to the U. S. Japan will have to do so "for good will of the nation" (United States), he said. "We have to consider the public opinion" in America, he added. Kojima said he thinks "that is what the Japanese government has always been trying to do not to instigate or raise some bad feeling among some Ameri can people." He pointed to Japan's immi gration problem of recent years, when America complained of large numbers of Japanese im migrants. Then, he said, Japan made a "gentleman's agree ment" with the United States to cut down the number entering the country.
