(2) A bill creating a constitution al revisional commission "to sug gest amendments" to the present Constitution. OBJECTIONS Fowler's primary objection to the bipartisan board bill was that it "takes the selection out of the student body's hands." His objection to the Constitution revision bill was that it, "contained no date stipulation." The two bills were passed by the student Legislature on Nov. 10. Fowler contended that Stevens didn't put the bills on his desk un til Nov. 21, one day later than the time limit stipulated in trie student Constitution for presidental veto action. . When Fowler "said he considered his veto good until ruled other wise, the case was referred to the Student Council. The council then ruled Fowler's veto "null and void" because he declared it one day later than the Constitution's 10-day limit. Fowler didn't blame the council for its action, however. He said: "It was the law. They (the coun cil) had to do what they did." Regarding Stevens' delivery de lay of the bills, Fowler said: "I think I should have as much as eight or nine days to look over the measures to find out facts riot understood." 1 SUGGESTION ; r . In , connection, with the- whole business, Fowler had1 a suggestion which 't he said ' might establish more correlation between the ex ecutive and legislative branches.of student government.' r' ;? " " "I think it would be an excellent idea for the executive ' to have 'a irpresentative" who might attend Legislature and committee meet ings and inform the president of actions so asto help him formu late opinions onthe various bills." He said the whole veto contro versy might not have arisen if such an idea had been proposed earlier. - ' I . .

Harris Purks has pledged "to the people of North Carolina a dedication to the business which is expected" of him as director of Jhe State Board of Higher Education. Dr. Purks Wednesday resigned as acting president of the Con solidated University to accept the $16,000-a-year position with the board of higher education. Pointing out "I was happier, in my position as provost, than I have ever been in any adminis trative position in higher educa tion," Dr. Purks indicated that he may be more pleased than ever with the new job. FOCUS "In many respects, the posi tion I shall shortly assume is similar in nature to the specifi cations of provost," he said. "In particular, this is so because of its focus upon educational plan ning and development, without the accompanying constraints of management of a wide variety of operations which are only remote ly "related to education." ' Dr. Purks, a 54-year-old Geor gian, was University provost be fore President Gordon Gray left to become an assistant secretary of defense last summer and Purks was, named acting president. "Education is my business," Dr. Purks said. "It is, I think, a business that the people of this state want to be prorrioted. . I pledge to the people of i North Carolina a dedication toithebusi ness which is expected of me." He will assume the new posi tion near the first 'of March. Named by the University Trus tees' Executive Committee to re place Purks as acting president was William C, (Bill) Friday, 35, presently secretary of the Con solidated University, i Friday will serve until the Board of Trustees selects a new president. Dr. Purks paid high tribut to former President Gray and new Acting President Friday. Of Gray, he said: "My own personal and pro fessional loyalty to Gordon Gray persists, and will do so through out the years. "He is. in my opinion', one of those rare individuals whose sense of dedication takes precedence over all personal objectives."

He served as dean of the Law School from 1931-41. " Van Hecke, in addition to hav ing taught at several colleges in cluding Yale, the University of Chicago, and Northwestern, has also served three periods of government service.

He said "I look forward with pleasure to a close association with Dr. Charles Carroll, who is in my opinion, one of the ablest superintendents of public in struction in the nation." Dr Purks termed the Consoli dated University, whose operation along with operations of the state's other institutions of higher learning he . will supervise as part of his new job, as "one of the distinguished universities of the nation. BY DUKE PROFESSOR: Zionist A Duke University divinity pro fessor said last night America's "support of Zionists and a Zionist state has resulted in a political tragedy for the United States." Such support, said Dr. W. F. Stinespring, has lost for the U.S. "the friendship and support of 40 million Arabs, who formerly ad mired us above all nations. 1 COMMUNISTS "Worse still he declared, "this policy "is "about to deliver the Arab world into the arms of the Com- Hodges Sees No Move To Deconsolidofe HALEIGH, Jan. 5 W) Gov. Hodges said today that changes aproved yesterday in top positions of the University of North Caro lina had "nothing to do with" possible deconsolidation of the University's three branches. ' Dr. J. Hams Purks, acting presi dent, was elected Wednesday as director of the State Board of Higher Education. William C. Fri day, University secretary, was named acting president while the search continues for a new presi dent Hodges said the appointment of a director of higher education "could, theoretically, reduce the size of the job" of University presi dent. However, he added, "I don't think for some time to come it would make any difference in the duties of the president."

"North Carolina has built up, throughout the years," he said, "a reputation for leadership in things educational.

The public has been invited to the dis cussion. Dr. Stinespring said "the e.stal lishment of the Zionist state is a tragedy for the Zionists themsel ves and for all Jews a tragedy for the Zionists because they have earned the undying hatred of 40 million surrounding Arabs. "This hatred will probably go on for generations and in the en i result in the destruction of the Zionist state and the expulsion of the Zionists," he said, "in a way similar to what happened to the Crusaders." He declared Zionism "is a tra gedy for the Arab natives of Pa lestine and for the surround in;.; Arab nations" because of the "nearly a million" Arab rcfueei "living under unbelievable condi tions of misery and squalor. studies at UNC.
