lie pointed to the Student Party's !
past; record as the "concience" of
the campus and expounded the
value of the principle that "virtu
cbrlngs success in ejections in
addition to being its own reward."
Sonny Evans' record as Student
Body President in a "time of great
challenge to the University and its
rtudcni b dy" was praised In the
former NSA president's remarks.
He said further, in respect to
the challenge, that "it comes at
this time not only because of the
changes in administration, but be
cause of the changes in world at
titudes toward education . . . edu
cation for survival. . .education in
th? world of Little Pock and the
Sputniks."
For these reasons the Student
Party must provide a successor to
Student Body President Evans who
can "carry forth his constructive
programs and even see beyond his
present scope," Lowcnstein added.
Lowcnstein listed briefly some
fields in which student govern
ment must concern itself in the
future: The questions of di.scri-
minatory clauses in social organiza
tions on campus; balance. in athle
tic cmphasU. ("lirst a sludent.

Possible Launching
BALTIMORE. Jan. l3-(AP)The
Army's Jupiter rocket will be ucd
thii week, probably Wednesday, in
a jiccond attempt to launch a U.S.
earth satellite, the Baltimore Even
ing Sun said today.
(jinting a "usually well informed
source," the paper said the deci
sion to use the Jupiter was made
when officials ruled that the rocket
testing range at Cape Canaveral.
I'.i., should be made "available
this week to the Army, rather than
the Navy.
There have been unconfirmed
reports from Washington recently
that another satellites launching at
temri r;as scheduled for the Flori
da base this week, that U pro
bably would come Wednesday, and
that it presumably would be the
second of the Navy's three-stage
Vanguard rocket.

Honor Council
Set To Visit
Coeds Tonight
. Women's Honor Council members
and past members will be present
a! house meetings in all women's
dormitories and sororities Tuesday
night at 11 o'clock to discuss the
honor system with coeds.
According to Kit Whitehurst,
chairman, the main purpose of these
discussions is to give women s u
dents an increased awareness of
tl'eir responsibility under the honor
system.
The council members hope to
clarify information concerning the
composition of the council, the types
of cases tried, the procedures used
in investigations and trials, the
types of penalties, and the respon
sibility of individuals in reporting
infractions seen or suspected.
The Women's Honor Council is
especially concerned about attitudes
toward the Campus Code, which
covers general behavior. In many
cases, students are ignoring thi3
phase of the honor system.
Also to be stressed are Honor
Code infractions, which include
lying, cheating, stealing, and fringe
violations such as plagiarism and
forgery.
Social rules covering lateness and
signing out will also be discussed
with the coeds.
It will be emphasized that ignor
ance of the rules is never a suffi
cient excuse for violations.
Following the talks, a question
nrrmd will he held.
I
in the national theaters for gufsts
from other countries, she reported.
Mrs. Roosevelt went on to add
that the Russian people point with
considerable pride to their free
health services, and the fact that
they all have jobs. However, she re
flected they neglect to mention the
fact that there is no choice involved
She found that one of the questions
most frequently asked of her while
she was in Russia was. "In Amer
ica does one family actually have
a house to themselves."
Summit Meet
Explaining she would not favor a
summit conference. until , the
groundwork was set up. she felt the
U. S. must keep all avenues of com
munication open for peace.
On this subject she expressed the
feeling that the Russian people
earnestly want peace and look to
the United Nations as something
quite important, but she doubted
that Nikita Khrushcev would be
likelv to cive ud anything that he
wants. She expressed the feeling
that negotiations with Khrusc!".ev
would be difficult.
Tn defining Russia's aim in the
Middle East as keeping a bridge,
open to Africa, she thought that this
was where Russian hopes to exert
influence.
"Russia can handle the dictator
ships of the Middle East," she said,
"but the Russian people might have
difficulty with a democracy such as
Israel."
Democracy Showcase
Mrs .Roosevelt felt that the U. S
is the showcase of democracy to the
world, and to win the uncommiuea
peoples of the world, two-thirds of
which are not white, the U. S. must
forrert the ineou alities that exist
in the U. S.
Mrs. Roosevelt commented wai
the U. S. must not follow the Russ
ian 'education system, but should
straiehten the education system
that that exists, especially in
primary and secondary levels
Blazes Hit
At Hospital,
Local Home
By THE TAR HEEL STAFF
Tw ' fires-one at Memorial Hos
pital and a second at a residence
on Henderson Street broke out
within an hour of each other last
night, but apparently neither was
related to the recent rash of
blazes here.
Officials said the first blaze oc
curred at 7:30 p. m. when a
patient at the hospital set fire to
clothing and bedcovering, then bar
ricaded himse'f in his South Ward
room on the second floor.
Less than an hour later, firemen
answered a cll to the W. P. Jor
don residence at 215 Henderson
St.. where fire of undetermined
origin burned a bureau and caused
other slight damage in a second
floor room.
Fire Chief J. S. Boone, said,
however, that the blaze "prob
ably" was started by a cigarette
left burning on the bureau.
A spokesman for the University
said the Memorial Hospital blaze
was set by a psychiatric patient
who . had been under "constant
supervision" for the past week.
His confinement ruled out the pos
sibility that the patient was res
ponsible for other recent blazes
here, the spokesman said.
Chief Boone said tbe patient
broke open windows in bis room,
tore apart furniture aind Jarred
shut the door hU room by turn
ing the corner b thrmom . doer
against the room door.
According to Boone, the patient
refused to let firemen extricate
him from the room, . threatening
potential rescuers and firemen
with a pitcher.
The firemen , burst ' through the
door, Boone said .and a resident
doctor talked to; the patient and
made him release his weapon.
Boone ""said the patient was about
20 years old.
Firemen said damage' at both
the hospital and the Jordon resi
dence was slight.
Meanwhile, police reported ho
new development in their investi
gation of eight fires here Thurs
day and Friday. Both suspects in
the blazes, believed to have been
the work of an arsonist, have been
released, police said.

At Meeting
By DOUG EISELE
i Student Eody Pre Tent Sonny
! Evans expressed the fear Monday
that current con t-uction of new
dormitories would demand a sub-
stantial boost' in rental fees at the
University beginning next year.
He said that threat would be the
leading topic for discussion tomor
row when student leaders held their
regular monthly meeting with the
Chancellor's cabinet.
!:t!Wjba.t we woidd like to know is
whether the school is going to in
crease the cost of education com
mensurate with the growth of the
Unix eVsity," Evans declared add- '
ing:
"We wonder if this burden be'n?
placed on the student is not too '
great a one, in view of the principle
on which the University was found
ed: that a higher education should;
be in the grasp of all those who '
want it." -; , i
( Rent Goes Up
Evans, ' noting that "the whole
campus rent goes up every time a
new dorm is built," suggested that
rental fees could be increased by
$45 next year if former increases
could be used as a yardstick for
measuring the threatened hike.
'This whole practice to increasi-g
dorm rents every time you build a
new dormitory is not a wise one acd
should be discussed," the student -
ieider declared.

Honor Council
Suspends One
In Fraud Case
One student has been suspended
and ten others placed on indefinite
probation by the Men's Honor Coun
cil in conne?t:on with the recent
excuse fraud, according to a sta'e
ment from George Ragsdale, coun
cil chairman.
The student suspended from the
Univers;ty had turned himself in to
the Honor Council. However, Rags
dale said the Council learned that
the student had given false testi
mony to them concerning the num
ber of excuses he had purchased
and used. . ;
The.o'her ten students, who also
turned, themselves in, were placed
on "indefinite proba ion, and will
remain in such a status for one fill
semester, under normal condltious,"
Ragsdale said.
i . The inves'igation continues, Rags
: dale reported and it will continue
for some months.
Since the report of the council's
investigation last appeared in TheV
Daily Tar Heel, approximately 130
letters have been sent to instructors,
he said. ,
Since that time, six more stu
dents have reported themselves to
the Honor Council.
Hearings will resume immediate
ly after exams, Ragsdale said.
The excuse fraud was made pub
