QUESTIONS The brochure gives v North Ca rolina's answers to the conference questions: (1) What should our schools ac complish? . (2) In what ways can we organ ize our school system more effici ently and economically? (3) What are our school building needs? (4) How can we get enough good teachers and keep them?

Will next year's Daily Tar Heel Heel editor get a salary? This was the big question which came to front during Thursday night's Legislature session. Legislators began argument on whether or not the present co-editors should get a raise. But Tom Lameth, Student Party, struck a match which set fire to all his successors to the rostrum when he said: "Where can we draw, the line between whom we pay in stu dent government and whom we don't pay? I was for cutting the editor's salary out completely . . . The editors shouldn't be paid if other elected student govern ment officials aren't." - This set off a parade of leg islators to the rostrum, all who reiterated Lambeth's statement in so many words. Bob Harrington (SP) said: "No elected student govern ment official should receive one red cent." Lewis Brumfield (SP) said: "The editors have the idea they should be compensated. The experience they get cannot be priced." Jim Armstrong (SP) said: "All of the staff ; should be paid except the editors." All of these and several other representatives seemed to agree wtih Harrington's statement: x "I encourage . . . when the bud get Is made out. that The! Daily Tar Heel editor receive no salary in the future." Harrington also was the only representative who brought personalities, not issues into the debate. He took an implied verb al cut at Co-editor Louis Kraar. STEADY STREAM There was such a steady stream of orators to the rostrum that even a student got in the act who wasn't a Legislature mem ber. He was Ken Pruitt, who said he wanted to give a by stander's opinion. Pruitt sub mitted that the whole issue was a issue of "personalities." "The Legislature should be completely separate from The Daily. Tar Heel," he said. The salary raise, which was proposed in a report given by Publications Board Chairman Tom Lambeth, went down the drain 34 to 1 with four legisla tors registering abstentions. The one representative who approved the idea was Dan Southerland (SP), "N. C. State Welcomes Tatum" and the letters "NCS" appeared in a light green paint around the campus yesterday. Neither th Operations Office in South Building nor the Chapel Hill Police Dept. had any knowl edge of the Friday 13th vandalism. The letters "NCS," about three feet high, were painted on the east side of the Bell Tower. G. F. Hom ey, Building Dept. director, said a "special paint remover" had been ordered, but he had no idea whether or not it would complete ly remove the paint from the brick work. "N. C. State Welcomes Tatum" was painted on Raleigh St. in front of Conner Dormitory. J. S. Ben nett, Operations Dept. director, commented on the use of green paint. "It does look like they would have Used red paint if they were from State," he said.

Student Childs, a native of High Point, testified in the Scales trial that he had attended a Communist party school in 1952 at a farm near Walnut Cove, N. C. He identified the owners of the farm as William and Eleanor Binkley. Childs was a member of the par ty as an undercover agent for the FBI until a few days before the trial. He identified several other isidents of the Chapel Hill-Durham area as Communists, including Jerry Van Camp and Nat Bond of Durham and Bill McGirt of Chapel Hill. UNDERCOVER Clontz appeared before the Sub versive Activities Control Board in 1954 and revealed 'he joined the Communist party as an undercover agent with Scales' help. DR.

D. Carmichael Jr., state campaign chairman of the North Carolina Heart Assn., yesterday. Carmichael, vice president and finance officer of the Consolidated University, will head the Heart Drive in February that ends on Heart Sunday, Feb. 26. County and community chairmen throughout the state will be working with him to raise money for heart research, professional and lay education, and local community services to assist heart pitients. "President Eisenhower's recent heart attack caused the stock market to dip, created confusion in politics, and upset the entire Washington routine," Carmichael "and yet his was only one of 1,000 heart attacks during that Lday. What effects did the other 999 have on the life and welfare of our people?" Discounting the factors of pain, anxiety and sud den death, he continued, the im pact on our economy alone justi fies an all-our war on the number one killer. Carmichael pointed out that in Uustry devotes large staffs and countless dollars and hours to la bor negotiations to avoid strikes, because srikes mean lost man days.' Yet, during the past several years, industry has lost five times more man days each year through diseases of the heart and blood vessels than through strikes. He asserted further that heart attacks j affect more than a proportionate share of the leadership in busi ; ness, which prevents return on the investment of training these executives. DR. WALDO BEACH ... to talk at Community Church and Westminster Men Students Asked To Return Dorm Keys James E.
