Rodman addresed the Philan thropic Literary Society Tuesday night, on The Proper Function of the Appellate Court." Before a crowd of about, 35, Justice Rodman said, "I will ex press my views but no opinions on any specific judicial questions." After expounding his views on the court, the speaker said the judges of the courts must do thei. best to make wise decisions, and the people of the United States must respect the laws as handed down by the courts. . v Rodman defined the appellate court as the judicial booy that deals with average ordinary mat ters of human life. With vigor and heat the relationship of the judi cial society had been debated the past 30 years he said. The speaker explained how the N. C. State Court was given the power to set aside acts of the leg islature by the Act of 1789. In de scribing the court, the former Phi member said shortly after the con titution of Conn, was set up, the precedent of the court cannot pro nounce a law invalid because it believes it unjust but 'only be cause the. law. is cpolrafy, tothe established constitution. He gave other historical examples of the courts growth.1 and fights,' both on state, and rational levels. The lecturer said the gravest duty of judges was that of declar ing amendments to the constitu tion or laws invalid, and he con tinued to say the judges must make interpretations of the laws in order to fix the meaning of the written words., Ua r- i A U 1 1 J i "c saiu WUi 1 Tterpret the law in relation to the common law. Justice Rodman il Pirated his Pit by describing a case against the United States concerning the gold standard and the impairment of an obligation The court declared that the plain tiff should be paid in silver or currency as gold was a medium of exchange rather than a com modity. Rodman said if the people did not like the laws it was up to them and their legislatures to change the laws, not the court. Hodges Says N.C. Needs More Local Industries . RED SPRINGS m North Carolina needs "locally financed, locally operated industries which will utilize the many farm peo ple who must supplement their in come or go under," Gov. Hodges said here yesterday. "At the same time," he 'declar ed, "We want to encourage as many of our farm people 'as pos sible to continue to live on the farm or in rural areas so that they may enjoy the benefits of our great rural state with its good roads, good schools, rural church es, etc." lumbia 'St.. cfion Legislature To Air Debate Council Case Dave Liebermann, chairman of the Debate Council, will appear before tonight's session of student legislature to explain the func tions of the debate council in ref erence to a bill defeated last week asking for a $300 appropriation for the council's activities. Following the defeat of the ap propriations bill introduced by student party representative John Brooks last week, SP member Bill McNaull introduced a measure to investigate dobate council expen ditures. McNaull's bill will come up for a vote tonight. Liebermann stated yesterday in reference to McNaull's bill, which calls for a committee to investi gate council expenditures. "If they do that, the Student Audit Board has lost its purpose." The Student Audit Board. Lie bermann pointed out, is responsi ble for investigation of student organization finances. Also slated to 'come before to night's session is a bill introduc ed last week by University Party floorleader Benny Thomas pro viding for a committee to investi gate the possibility of maintain ing ; ; men's dormitory television sets from sources other than dor mitory social funds.

FORMOSAN THREATENS Co-op House Members Beat High Campus Living Costs 6y BILLY BARNES Twelve UNC students are beat ing the high cost of campus living with a do-it-yourself organization in a rented house on W. Franklin St. The men are the "second gen eration" of a co-op group formed here last year. But this fall they moved into a different house and added some new members to the roster. Under the co-op system all the members work together to prepare ; meals, keep records and keep the j house clean and in good repair. Five evening meals are served each week. Two members prepare a day's meal; then those two are I free until it comes their time to ' serve again. At the time of their fecent move the guys were faced with the prob lem of furnishing the new house. Word got around the town and campus and ' interested people be gin to raid their attics.

The new house boasts eight spa cious rooms, with three more available in a backyard cottage. Since sleeping space has been increased by their recent move, the co-op members would like to talk to any men who would be in terested in their share-the-work plan of college livingv Charlie McCaw, unofficial spokesman for the co-op house, says there is no formal process for selection of new members. He says it is rather a matter of a man's selecting -the c-oop system. McCaw also said the group plans to have some "boarders" who will live elsewhere but take their turns in preparing the co-op" meals, re ceiving in turn the five low-cost meals per week plus use of the house's recreational and study fa cilities. When the co-op house was first begun last year, many of the mem bers were advanced students from foreign countries. Now the only foreign member is Formosan Ken neth C. Yang.

The guys report that Yang's meals have so far been ex cellent. However, he keeps threat ening to treat them to bird's nest soup. Although only five formal meals are served each' week, food is on hand, for optional breakfasts and lunches. If a member eats an egg for breakfast and a ham sandwich for lunch, he checks off those items on a nearby list. At the end of the month he is billed accord ing to his appetite. Room rent at the co-op house is set according to prevailing dormi tory rents. But the do-it-yourself system makes meals cost only 35 50 cents. Spokesman McCaw says the food is "great" and compares favorably to that of almost any place in Chapel Hill. As for the success of the system he says the gang has yet to find a "goof-off" in their midst. No one in the t co-op's past has ever failed to prepare a meal at his appointed time. n sincr A re Pa J Af mi r 4 i f ft V"- f !
