Aldermen were apparently willing to lift the two-hour restriction for Go days without strings attached. But the seven fraternities affected by the restriction be tween Columbia St. and Cameron Ave. had submitted no con crete proposal for solving their congested parking even if the ban were lifted temporarily. Chairman Wilburn Davis of the student government Traffic Advisory Commission had requested that the seven fraternities compile a report of suggested solutions and for i ward it to him. ' But only three of the seven submitted a report to Davis. And these reports suggested such solutions as boycott of al dermen s businesses and convers-y ion of portions of the Chapel Hill Elementary School playground in to a parking lot. Aldermen were only amused by these suggestions. Control of the school play ground isn't within the jurisdic tion of the aldermen. Mayor O. K. Cornwell pointed out. ONE PLAN The one suggested which came from fraternities which seemed to impress the aldermen as "pro gress" concerned the conversion of a vacant lot between the Beta House and the Sigma Nu House into a parking lot. But there is still the question of whether the Betas, owners of the property, will allow it to be converted into a parking area. At any - rate, as Commission Chairman Davis pointed out, the whole matter rests with fraterni ties now. His commission, which has the responsibility . of studying the entire campus parking prob lem, will move on from , Columbia St. to a comprehensive ' 'study. ; of the entire 'campus.' ; ; H i j 1 j ! i 1 ,' ;; f ' i ! : : The fraternities which have been given until Jan; 3 to j work; out a solution fo ; their congested j park ing problem' ' are: -' i , ; , i (j U.; M ; Beta Theta Pi.

SSL Votes To Abolish School Act RALEIGH UP) The State Stu dent Legislature Friday, passed a resolution calling for repeal of the Pearsall Plan. Introduced by the University of North Carolina delegation, the resolution says the State Consti tution now has within it "clauses which provide . . . for the means of abolition of public education." The resolution passed by the stu dents in their mock legislature said these clauses are "morally wrong" and "contrary to the, prin ciples set forth in the United States Constitution." The Pearsall Plan involves a ! two-pronged amendment to the state's constitution to meet the public school segregation problem. It was overwhelmingly approved by Tar Heel voters Sept. 8. One provides for tuition grants to. children whose parents do not want them to attend unsegregated schools. The grants could be used to send the child to a private school of its choice. The second part of the amendment authorizes local elections on the question of closing local public schools if they become unsegregated. The students will end their 3 day mock legislature today.
