Discrepancies In Elections, '
Campus Chest Goes Over Top
UNC students voted on class of
ficers, met the Campus Chest goal
and. in a flurry of school spirit,
whipped up floats for the "Beat
Dook" parade while the Chapel
Hill aldermen lifted the Columbia
St. parking ban.
Results of the campus elections
of freshman and junior class of
ficers and legislature seats were
inconclusive due to discrepancies
in voting in , the UP-dominated
tow-n men's districts. More ballots
were cast than there were regist
ered voters in the disputed areas
and two legislative seats, and the
class election - results will remain
undecided until the runoff elec
tion Tuesday. Only 38 per cent
cf the campus population made
the trip to the polls in the elec
tion. The Campus Chest Drive sur

The Chapel Hill Board of Al-

two hour parking ban on S. Co-
lumbia St. for the 60 day period
between Jan 3 and March 1, 1957,
with the understanding the fra-
ternities affected will present to
the aldermen by Jan. 3 a proposal
to alleviate their parking prob
lem. The aldermen passed the motion
after a plea by Chairman Wilburn
Davis of the student government
Traffic Advisory Commission that
the restriction be lifted for 60 days
to allow fraternities to alleviate
congestion.
The aldermen stipulated fra-
ternities must show some pro-
gres toward solving their parking
problem before the ban would be
lifted.

Supreme Court Bus
On Par With 1954
Josephine Ripley
Christian Science Monitor
WASHINGTON The United
States Supreme Court decision
against racial segregation on
buses in Montgomery, Ala., is
expected to rank in historic sig
nificance second only to the now
famous ruling of 1954 against
segregation on the basis of race
in public schools.
For the ruling, in effect, out
laws racial discrimination on
public transportation within the
borders of any state on the
ground that such segregation is
unconstitutional.
ISSUE: STATES' RIGHTS
The South, already mobilizing
legal counterattack in the case'
of schools, is preparing to "take
it to court" in state after state,
and again and again, if necessary,
on this newest integration issue.
The basic issue revolves around
states' rights, and it is on this
ground that the final and prob
ably long, drawn out test will
come.
The South is braced to resist
desegregation on a broad front,
not only in buses and schools,
but in publje parks and other fa
cilities within state borders.
Even now, in the Richmond
district court, Virginia is testing
its newly enacted anti-integration
laws designed to circumvent
the Supreme Court's ruling in
tht case of schools. This test
ccmes as hearings open in the
Prince Edward County case one

Supreme Court Rules, While
Hungary, Mideast Cool Off
The Supreme Court of the
United States moved into the
world spotlight last week, along
side Hungary and the Middle
East.
The high court declared state
and local laws for bus segrega
tion were unconstitutional.
The decision affirmed a lower
court's ruling. that city and state
bus segregation in Montgomery,
Ala., was unconstitutional. The
basis for the decision was the
federal Constitution's guarantees
of due process and equal pro
tection of the law.
But there was doubt in North
Carolina that , the decision would
mean very much. The Tar Heel
state; which has refused to com
ply with the court's school deseg
regation decision of two years
ago, stil requires segregation on
( buses operating within its boun
daries. On the other sides of the
world, Hungarian patriots had
fallen before Russia. Russia
had threatened, then backed
down on its plan to send "volun
teers" to the Middle East cris
is and possibly touch off an
other World War. And United
Nations police forces began ar
riving in the Middle East to
separate angry Arabs, Israelis,
British and French.
IN HUNGARY, rebels tried a
little longer to stave off Russian
forces, but they did not have the
strength. With an estimated 20,-s
000 Hungarians killed in the past
stwo weeks, the rebels turned to
a general strike. The strike would
continue, they said, until 'anti
Russian Premier Imre Nagy was
returned to office, until they had
free elections and freedom from
"Moscow. " .'
i ' .'
Russia started deporting lllun-
garian -rebels, reportedlytb -Siberia.
The United States called
for immediate United Nations
censure of the Soviet move. At

Court, based its original deseg-
regation decision.
BUS BOYCOTT INVOLVED
The state of Virginia is also
asking for dismissal of desegre
gation suits brought by Negroes
in Norfolk and Newport News.
School officials in Arlington and
Charlottesville have filed briefs
appealing for court reversal of
orders to desegregate there.
Virginia is banking on its new
pupil - assignment law to estab
lish the desired precedent for
circumventing school integration.
This plan provides for the as
signment of pupils to schools on
aiany grounds, other than racial,
and gives -dissatisfied persons
the right , to appeal to the Gov
ernor and then to the state
courts, if desired.
The Supreme Court's decision
in the Alabama bus case grew
cut of a bus boycott by Negroes
which started last December and
is still in effect.
The court acted unanimously
in this case, but did not hand
down a written decision. Instead,
it issued a brief order affirming
the decision of the United States
district court for the middle dis
trict of Alabama, which held this
instance of racial segregation
contrary to the Fourteenth
Amendment, and hence uncon
stitutional. CHALLENGES DUE
In affirming the district
coffrt's ruling, the Supreme Court
cited its decisions in two school
cases the Dawson case in Ala
bama and the Holmes case in At
lanta in which racial segrega
tion in the use of public recrea
tional facilities was outlawed.
Th? citing of these two partic
ular cases is seen as indicating
that state lawrs or ordinances w't'i
regard to racial segregation in
any public facility are apparent-
ly regarded as unconstitutional.
Also, since attorneys for the
state in the Montgomery bus case

hijacked a Russian train and res
cued more than 1,000 of their
comrades headed for Russian
slave camps. ,
IN THE MIDDLE EAST, talk
of Russian "volunteers" to help
the Arab nations brought fear
of a possible World War Three.
At(the first of the week, Russ
ian sources announced thousands
cf "volunteer" soldiers and
"technicians" had asked permiss
ion to go to Egypt to fight against
Israel, Britain and France. The
crisis was heightened when Egyp
tian Premier Gamal Abdel Nas
ser's government asked Russia
for immediate shipment of "vol
unteers." Meanwhile, United Nations
police forces were gathering
outside Naples for airlifting to
the tense Suez Canal area to
permanently cease the fighting
there.
But on Thursday, Soviet Pre
mier Nikolai Bulganin's voice
had a different tone. In notes to
Britain, France and Israel, he
made no mention of "volunteers,"
and said Russian has to object
to the UN police force since
Egypt has accepted it.
President Eisenhower - had
pledged the United Staffs will
support an UN action to keep
Soviet and Red Chinese "volun
teers' out of the . Middle East

And Friday the United States
warned Russia to. keep her troops

Ruling
Decision
premised their arguments on the
1896 Plessy vs. Ferguson separ-
ate-but-equal doctrine, the new
ruling is being taken as a com-
plete repudiation of theory.
The decision of the Supreme
Court in the -Alabama bus suit
recalls an earlier case involving
intrastate transportation in which
the court refused on April 23 to
review a lower court decision.
Due to a misunderstanding, head-
lines proclaimed the outlawing
of segregation oh intrastate
buses. It was later discovered
that the court's refusal to review
the case was based on technical
grounds and not a ruling in the
case

Chavis, born in 1932 in Chatham County, has a
wife, Jennie, and, a young son, Jesse.
After serving a, stint in. the Navy, Chavis re
turned to Pittsboro to farm under the GI Bill. Then,
in 1948, he took a job with the University's grounds
crew.
"It's nice, working here," he says. "I had been
thinking a long time I'd like this kind of work."
"For one thing you don't do the same thing
every day. Then, too, its outdoor work. I like the
fellows who work here, and we have

These groups go forth at 7:30, five days a week,
armed with rakes, shovels, , axes, and any other
tools needed for the day's activities,
"We rake feaves, plant grass, put fences up to
keep people off of the grass, and take care of all
the shrubs, says Chavis. Actually, we tend all the
plants and grass on the campus and at the hospital,
We eat at noon, then go back to work from 12:30
until 5 p.m. .
"Deadbeats, don't last long around here," Chavis
says. "That nine hour schedule kills 'em off."

carry in heavy equipment, but that's all."
The walks are laid by a specialized crew, accord
ing to Chavis. They are trained to do that partic
ular job, he says.
Accidents are rare, according to Chavis. "We're
nretty careful," he says. "About the most danger
ous work used to be pruning trees, but that job was
given to another group about five years ao. I
don't think there were ever any accidents."
Asked if he ever had much trouble with the
campus plant life, he said, "No, we just set out
the shrubs right and keep 'em watered in the sum
mer, and they do all right."
' "About the only trouble we ever have is with
the fences around the grass," says Chavis. "We put
'em up one day, and they get torn down the next.''
"When we cut the hospital right-of-way, we
had a little trouble with bees. We'd be diggin'
away and suddenly everybody'd start scatterin'. We
all got away as fast as we could and nobody ever
got stung, but it was kind of a nuisance," Chavis
said.
"I've seen a lot of things come and gone since
I've been here," says Chavis. '
"Those -three buildings, Carroll, Hanes, and
Gardner were built after I came." ',
The space taken up by these three buildings was
formerly a parking lot, according to Chavis. 1
"Carolina's a nice, quiet place. It has a pretty;
campus, a lot prettier than others I've seen." :
Wrhen asked about the college students' clothes.;
he said, "They look very nice. Oh, they looked a
little funny at first," he laughed,- but I reckon you
can get used to anything if you see it enough."
"Yessir, this is an interesting job. Good wok
ing conditions, good equipment, and good bosses,
says Chavis.
"I plan to stay here quite a while."
