Coordination Bi
omes tip Tonight
A resolution urging cooperation in scheduling events on
cam pus, will come up lor a vote tonight before the Student
Legislature, speaker .Sonny Evans said yesterday.
The resolution was introduced last week by University
Party representative Al Goldsmith following the defeat of a
bill by the Student Party to provide for a committee to co
ordinate campus events.
Other measures to come before
tonight's session include: (1) A bill
to appropriate $125 to the sopho
more class; (2) A resolution to set
aside Oct. 24 as United Nations
IJay at UNC; (3) A bill to appropri
ate $300 to the Debate Council.
The Debate Council appropria
tions bill was introduced last week
by SP representative John Brooks
and will also be voted on tonight.
Goldsmith's resolution on co
ordination of campus events states:
"All presidents, chairmen and
heads of campus organizations be
hereby urged by the student Leg
islature of the University of North
Carolina to schedule insofar as
possible all events which will be
of interest to the students of the
University so as not to conflict
with other events previously sche
duled. "So as to insure orderly sche
duling of events, all groups be
urged to ' schedule their event
through the Office of the Director
of Student Affairs which has pow
ers to deal with such."
Goldsmith stated that the main
reason for the defeat of the bill
last week was that such a com
mittee would not have sufficient
power to be worthwhile.
In explaining( the introduction
of his resolution. Goldsmith stated
"It was too good a bill to throw
out completely and we (UP) felt
that a compulsory committer
would be impractical. The resolu
tion was introduced hoping it
would do some good in arousinf
student leaders to the necessity o
cooperation in coordination of
scheduling of-events." i

Weinman charged that the Stu

of the bill for propaganda in the
coming campaign, a statement
which Lambeth later refuted.
Evans stated, "Those who voted
for the Elections Law Amendment
as well as those who voted against
it had adequate reason, and I feel
that the Legislature acted for the
good of the campus as a whole."
Johnson Heads
Press Club
Charles Johnson, senior of Len
oir, was elected president of the
UNC Press Club at its first meet
ing of the year held last Tuesday.
ALso elected were Robert Ged
ney, vice president; Mrs. Mary
Vann Finley, secretary, and Sher
wood Canada, treasurer.
The club decided to meet month
ly on Monday at 7:30 p.m. Which
Monday of each month the meet
ing will be held on will be decid
ed later. Dues were set at $1 per
semester, the same as last year.
Johnson succeeds Davis Merritt
Jr. as president. At the meeting,
Merritt and Norval N. Luxon, dean
of the Journalism School, discus
sed the workings of the club and
possibilities of chartering a chap- J
ter of a national professional
Journalism fraternity here.
All students majoring in Journ
alism or planning to major in
Journalism have ben invited to
-join the Press Club, according to
Johnson. Prominent newspaper
men from all over the, state will
speak at the various meetings
during the year, he said.
H-Bombs, Nixon Says
ed "intercollegiate press confer
ence." The vice president said the
"flaw" in Stevenson's H-bomb the
ory was the idea that the United
States could resume Hydrogen
bomb tests immediately upon
learning that the USSR had brok
en any test prohibition.
The United States' last H-bomb
took "over a year" to construct,
he said.
"We cannot afford to . wait a
year," Nixon told the editors.
Asked what the Eisenhower ad
ministration had done to carry out
not give the governor any veto
p,ower."
Opposing the bill, Senator Pat
Adams stated that the recom
mendation, which would abolish
the electing of the state attorney
general, the superintendent of
public construction, the commis
sioner of insurance, the commis
sioner of agriculture and the sec
retary of state, gave the gover
nor too much unchecked power.
Senator Joel Fleishman said the
present state ballot is too lengthy
and the large number of different
candidates clouds the issues. He
felt that the governor was denied
any real power to influence legis
lation by not having the veto.
The Di moved to have a repre
sentation of that body meet with
an equal number from the Phi in
order to discuss the terms of the
pending debate concerning the
Democratic and the Republican
parties.
The Di now has the portrait of
Dr. Frank Graham which former
ly hung in Graham Memorial.. It
will be hung before the next meeting.
Several Thefts
Reported Here
Since Thursday
Numerous thefts occurring since
last Thursday have. been reported
to Ray Jeftf.ries, assistant to the
dean of student affairs.
Police believe that there is an
organized ring operating on cam
pus. The greatest r.umber of thefts
have taken place in Cobb Dorm,
officials said. During the game
Saturday, one room was robbed of
seven sweaters, an electric shaver
and a class ring. According to oc
cupants of the room, although the
room was locked, a key was left
over the door.
Saturday, another Cobb student
left his room unlocked while tak
ing a shower. During his absence
$3 was taken from his wallet and
a watch was stolen. A pair of
trousers and a sweater were stolen J
from a room in Vance Dorm last
week. Also, a bicycle was taken
from Vance last week, but was
discovered by its owner the next
day at the gym.
Jefferies has urged students to
lock doors when leaving the room,
if only for a short time. Also, he
asks students not to' leave keys
over the door. In the event some
thing is stolen, students should re
port immediately to the dorm
manager, Jefferies said.

the Supreme Court's 1954 decision
outlawing racial desegregation in
the public schools, Nixon replied
that the administration's main job
is to build a climate of favorable
opinion toward integration, not to
force it. j
One college editor asked the
vice president why the "change" ;
in the way he conducted this and
his 1952 campaign. The implica
tion was that Nixon has been act
ing more like a gentleman during
this campaign than he did four
years ago.
Nixon's answer was that in 1952
his""job was to get the American
people to vote the Democrats out
of office. Now, he said, his .job
is to help keep the GOP adminis
tration in.
In answer to the question, "Are
you writing off the South in
1956?" Nixon promised a "sur
prise." One of the important as
pects of the Eisenhower admin
istration "has been a strengthen
ing of the two party system" in
the South.
He predicted Republican gains
in Texas and Virginia.
The college editors had gathered
here for a one-day field lesson in
reporting politics. They met Nix
on when he came in yesterday af
ternoon, listened . to the nation's
reporters run the vice president
through a mid-afternoon press
conference, talked and ate "with
the reporters and got a chance to
fire questions at Nixon himself..
After the 30-minute television

answered questions from the edi
tors for more than half an hour.

High Court's
Rule Favors
5 Highway Dept.
. RALEJGIX '-'UPi The Supreme
Court held Yesterday that failure
of ; the State Highway Commission
to repair a hole in the road thus
causing a fatal accident does not
constitute a negligent act.
' The : Court's ruling came in a
case in which Mrs. Ethel Agnes
STynnsued for compensation un
der the law which allows persons
Injured by the negligent, acts of
state employees to sue the state.
Mrs. Flynn's four-year-old son,
Terry Eugene Flynn, was killed
n an accident on the Cane Creek
Rd. in Buncombe County on July
'25, 1954. She claimed in her suit
hat a pickup truck driven by her
'lusband wrecked because of a
hole in the asphalt paving of the
road. She, her husband, another
man and her four children were
Injured in the wreck.
; The State Industrial Commission
refused to grant compensation in
the case and its decision was up
held in Buncombe Superior Court.
The Supreme Court affirmed these
rulings.
Said the Court in its opinion:
; "Is a failure to repair a hole in
the highway caused by the ordi
nary public travel a negligent act?
The requirement of the statute is
not met by showing negligence,
for negligence may consist of an
act or an omission.
"Failure to act is not an act.
We think it was the intent of the
legislature to permit recovery on
ly for the negligent acts of state
employees for the things done by
them, not for the things left un
done." The Court "handed down opin
ions in eight cases.
In another case it ruled that a
partial new trial must be held in
a case from Lenoir County where
Mrs. Adair Lieb sued Dr. Jerme
Mayer for damages as the result
of an auto accident and a jury
VwanTed" her " $11,250 in' damages
The Sunreme Court ruled that the
jury did not have sufficient evi
dence to make a finding as to
damages to .Mrs. Lieb's car and
said the new trial would be on
the issue of the amount of ; dam
ages only.
