BUENOS AIRES, Argentina, Feb. 6 (fP) : In glowing Spanish phrases, the Argentine newspaper La Prensa yesterday paid eye catching tribute to the University of North Carolina and nts home town, Chapel Hill. ' . - The university was the central tiguic in an , oi tivtc uucu xuc Spirit of North American Univer sities" which occupied almost one entire page of, the four-page Sun day rotogravure section. This was the first such section published since La Prensa reappeared Fri day under the direction of Dr. Al berto Gainza Paz, whose newspa per was restored to him by the re volutionary government nearly five years after it was expropriated by the Peron regime. AUTHOR v The article was written by Al fred Casey, 'an Argentine professor at the University of La Plata who attended the University of North rcarblrrialrf '1949-50. -;v "r- The article is illustratec? with five pictures. They show the "Old Well" in front of the administra tion Building, the bell tower, the library, a dormitory arid a picture of Casey conversing with Dr. Rob ert House, chancellor of the Uni versity, and Dr. Sturgis Leavitt, director of the university's . Span ish Department. f J The article: contains this state ment: SPIRIT "What makes the world of Un ited States universities so distinct and characteristic? The answer is clear: The spirit . which moves them and the way of life. In the path which leads toward freedom of thought and action4, the students are proud of being members of a real community, and along with the privileges which they enjoy by l being a part of it, the obligations ' are borne which demand of the student an ample feeling of indi vidual responsibility. . ." WRITERS Casey writes that Chapel Hill "is on the way to hf ing the refuge -of famous writers," He notes that, the village's residents Include Pulitzer-prize winning playwright Paul Green, novelists Betty Smith, Noel Houston, Josefina Niggli and Daphne Athas, and that Chapel Hill was the home of the, late no velist' James Street. r Minor fslarnod Hsad Of Kappa Psi Frat Donald J.

VAN TREUREN The Chapel Hill Fire Dept. has employed the use of "High Pres sure Fog" (spray nozzle adaption of intense water concentration) as a mean:? of cutting down water damage vinflicte'd' while fighting a fire and to conserve water consumption. Fire Chief J. S. .Boone, who has been with the Chapel Hill Fire Department for over 20 years, says- the department now has one and one-half inch hoses that one man can oprate. It takes three men to handle the two and one-half inch hoses. The department has also started a "salvage and overhaul work pro gram" after each fire that cuts down the total loss of fire. Boone said this is highly appreciated by the public. u To date this year, 19 calls have been answered by the department. They range in nature from over heated fireplaces to automobile up holstery fires. A television explo sion at Carolina Inn caused $500 worth of damage, while $700 dam age was inflicted on a house where some clothes had boiled dry. Some calls were only smoke 2-cares, but Boone said the persons reporting such were right in do ing so. The department 104 calls in 1955, seven of which were outside Chapel Hill. Total damage for 1955 was $68,258. Huggins Hardware ac counted for $40,000 of thia in their fire. There was $18,525 damage in 1954 and $68,617 in 1953, which al so had a $40,000 fire.'1' " Boone said his reports were bas ed, on five and 10 year periods in order' to gain a clearer picture of average annual loss per capita. Of the 104 calls In 1955, the tel ephone was u$ed to report 73 cases, the fire box in 32 and one was oral ly reported. y , , There are seven full-time em ployees in the Chapel Hill Fire Dept., 12 part-time and six volun teers. There are tw6 trucks on Call and one is in reserve. Of the part-time men, 70 percent attend ed each fire. Boone said sickness held some back but the attendance require ment for part-time men as a whole Was 65 percent. ' (See' FIRES, Page 4) it j Officials Inspect Mamoria! Hospital Fire Dirctor Robert R.

Gets Blaze At Hospital A fire in Memorial Hospital last weekend was caused when a young mental patient shoved a stack of papers under his com bination bed-settee-cabinet and set fire to them, according to officials. The patient, a boy, had been under close observation, accord ing to hospital authorities. He was removed from his room in the psychiatric ward within a few moments after the blaze was set) and discovered. ', - :.. Smoke from the fire permeat ed the six-story wing and neces sitated immediate evacuation of 0 patients. Alarm call "36" was automatically sounded at t h e fire station downtown shortly after 6 p.m. when a switchboard operator in the hospital pulled the alarm box. At the same time the coded fire gong in the hospital was sounded and all available per sonnel, knowing from the code where the fire was, went to the scene to fight the fire according to their instructions in previous drills. Before the firemen arrived, nurses and others in the hospital had put out the flames, using a half-dozen hand extinguishers and an inch and one-half wall hydrant hose line. Even after the fast-burning mattress and wooden cabinet had been put out, the billowing smoke continued to pour through the building. "I U1 Offices In Graham Memorial 10) u uD r3 Interposition Move Held As 'Futile' By FRED POWLEDGE A Negro law student told a church group this week that the doctrine of 'interposition is "fu tile." If Southern officials face the United States Supreme Court with the interposition " doctrine, said David Stephens, "the are going to tell you right quick you don't have any law." . Interposition, its advocates say, is the doctrine by which states could interpose to avoid any fed eral legislation or court rulings which would seem to be in con flict with the states' desires. Vir ginia is currently leading South ern; states in an interposition move ment. Student Stephens, one of the few Negroes attending UNC, spoke to eight other members of the Chapel Hill Community Church student group. The topic for dis cussion was "B;o we feel the ac tions of the federal government pertaining to integration should be influenced by , our position in international affairs?" But talk of interposition- arid political impli cations of integration entered the discussion. . Stephens said he had studied the Supreme Court decision ending segregation in the public schools and found "it certainly had a leg al basis. It was an example of the court's exercise of legislative, as well as judicial, powers." The court handed down the de cision, he said, "because, after years of study, it had reached the conclusion as to what the 14th Amendment meant."" ; , . Sociology student Irving Schul man, who has just returned from a tour of the East and a month in India, reported "the Indians ask immediately about the race rela tions situation in the United States." - Schulman said a move "as big as anything we can do" is for the United States to "show them we'll go in the direction the Supreme Court has suggested." He said the Till murder case in Louisiana, which attracted great public at t (See INTERPOSITION, Page 4) 1 O r inn ! (i VJ7 n ever emu I alien In Campus P Bob Ratcliff announced yesterday that he will rim for editor of The Daily Tar Heel in the recall election Feb. i . Ratcliff will oppose present editors Louis Kraar and I'd Yoder in. the election that came vi,m"1 '"- . . : about by a recall petition circulat- ! ed by E. L. (Junior) Nance around the end of fall semester. , Ttatcliff, junior from Reidsville, had announced earlier that he was "definitely interested" in running in the recall election. - He is a veteran and returned to the University this year after serv- ing with the U. S. Army in Korea. He edited an Army newspaper in Korea called, The Police Action. He is a comparative literature j major and says he has never tak- en part in any campus political group. He will not be endorsed in the election by any campus politi cal party. Jim Monteith will be his ' campaign manager, he said. Ratcliff has never worked on The Daily Tar Heel. ' STATEMENT Ratcliff said: "I regret that my candidacy for editor of The Daily Tar Heel has to be under circum . stances such a? these. I dislike the idea of a recall, and I do not think j freedom' of the "press" should be tampered with. J "I agree with the editors that ed itorials should not parrot 'student opinion,' but the paper should be responsible to, the students. Only the news inaction owes anything to the students. j "If certain organizations desire privacy from the press then edi- tonal policy could be to deplore these desires. But the paper's poli- ..... cy should be to print any news re- , t . leases that come from these organ- ization. ' I "If the majority of students seem to be in favor of Jim Tatum, then the paper should" acknowledge this fact But if the editors choose to lament this fact they should be free to do so. "The editorial column should be inviolate, but the paper should speak for the students. "Editors . Kraar and Yoder are formidable opponent? by them selves. I dislike the handicap I seem to have in runnirig against the assorted deans of the Univer sity and the associated newspapers in the state. v "I wish this could be regarded as simply another campus elec tion," he said. University Party To Meet On Friday Night The University Party will not meet tonight, but will meet Fri day, instead at 7:30 p.m., according to Chairman Bill Sabiston. Sabiston said the meetingwould be important, and he urged all members' to attend.
