Summer Jobs
Under Study
By Placement
The Placement Service is already
thinking in terms of summer jobs
for students.
A meeting for students interested
in working at resorts next summer
has been planned for Wednesday,
Dec. 10, at 2:30 p.m. In 210 Gard-
er nail.
Several UNC students who have
worked previously in resort hotels in
New England, New York state, the
West and Western North Carolina
will be present to give suggestions
on picking the hotels, writing letters
of application and applying for the
right job.
Curtis Griffin and Lewis Hicks
who worked in Massachusetts, wil
show slides. Others present will in
clude Ale Coffin, Gail Godwin
Eunice Simmons, Harry Rosenberg
and Graham Claytor.
To its list of possible resorts for
student work the Placement Service
has added those resorts which have
been popular with UNC students for
several years. This list of resorts
and new annual summer job direc
tories are available at the Placement
Service.
The Chapel Publishing Company,
publishers of The Chapel Hill Week
ly, and C. Phillips Russell have been
named defendants in a civil action
charging libel, filed in the Orange
County Superior Court.
Plaintiff in the suit is the News
eader Company, Inc., publisher of
the Chapel Hill News Leader. Rus
sell is a former editor of the New3
Leader. v
V
Basis of the action is a statement
written by Russell and published
by the Chapel Hill Weekly last Au
gust in which, among other things,
it was charged "two stockholders
have usurped control of the man
agement of the paper and its fin
ances" and that the paper has been
placed in receivership.
The plaintiff charges that portions
of the statement are "false, libelous
and defamatory" and that they were
published with "actual malice on
the part of each of 'the defendants
and in a wanton disregard of and
indifference to the plaintiff's rights
and to the effect of said publication
on the plaintuTs business and busi
ness reputation."
Actual and punitive damages to
talling $75,000 are sought by the
plaintiffs.
beyond and eventually orbiting the
Sun. There were no indications here
yesterday of any change in plan.
' The rocket, Juno II, was seen be
ing readied for its trip. The huge
rocket sat in the open for a brief
period earlier this week after the
service tower was rolled back as
part of the early countdown for
launching.
The Air Force, with its three un
successful lunar probes, had hoped
to orbit the moon and span its far
side, sending back data to be con
certed to crude photographs. It
therefore had only three days out
of the month when the conditions for
such a shot were favorable.
The Army, hoping to shoot on by
the Moon with a simple payload con
taining no scanning device, has a
more leisurely schedule. It can take
most of next week for its try, if
need be.
The Army team, headed by Dr.
Wernher Von Braun and Maj. Gen.
John B. Medaris, will try something
new in launching vehicles. Theirs is
a considerably modified Jupiter in
termediate range ballistic missile
topped by three high-speed upper
stages of solid propellant rockets.
This combination is considerably
more potent than the Jupiter-C
rocket, a combination of a Redstone
missile with a rocket cluster of three
upper stages with which the Army
launched the. Explorer . Earth satel
lites. '. "' " -?
Juno II, having no scanning device
and no reverse rockets to send it
into a lunar orbit, is lighter as well
as simpler than the Air Force pion
eer probes. Its instruments weigh
only about 15 pounds, compared with
25 pounds aboard Pioneer I.
Because of the giant push of the
Juno II rocket, the Army looks for
its probe to span the quarter mil
lion miles to the vicinity of the
moon in about 33 hours and 45 minutes.

By DEE DANIELS
A two and a half hour session of
the Student Legislature last night
rescinded the single m fall election
amendment from the ballot next
Tuesday, and defeated Ed Levy's
(SP-UP) bill to send telegrams to
the governors of Arkansas and Vir
ginia disapproving their closing of
the public schools.
The amendment was called back
after Norman Smith (ind.) introduc
ed a bill changing the single election
time from fall to spring. The bill
would apply only to Legislative elec
tions, and will be sent to committee.
Levy, in defense of his bill, said
it deals entirely with education. "I
believe that you believe in educa
tion." Therefore, he contended the
body should say what they believe
in helping others to fight for their
education.
Arguments against the bill center
ed on its impracticality. It would
not actually accomplish anything.
Gordon Street (UP) stressed it
would cause strife on campus but
would not affect Arkansas or "Vir
ginia in any way.
David Grieg (UP) pointed out that
the action the bill is dealing with
would be hindered by any stand
which is not positive. It could also
possibly bring bad publicity for
UNC. He believes it is a problem for
the federal government and the in
dividual states.
Don Furtado, student body presi
dent, expressed regret that students
are willing to ignore a national
problem such as this and confine
themselves to their own campus. He
feels the problem is facing educa
tional systems all over the land
Furtado urged the Legislative body
to "make yourselves heard".
Harry S. Truman
Speaks Tonight
"It is a rfght of mankind to be
come educated", stated Gary Greey
in defense of the proposed action.
He reminded the solons that they
are students speaking for other stu
dents. Consequently, "to say it U
not our problem is merely passing
the buck."
But despite firm stands for the
bill, the opposition championed as
the legislators voted the proposed ac
tion down.
A bill introduced at the last session
by Norman Smith (ind.) to create
the office of Legislature chaplain
was sanctioned.
Former U. S. president Harry S.
Truman will speak in Memorial Au
ditorium in Raleigh tonight.
Young Democratic Club members
desiring free transportation to the
speech have been asked to meet in
the Law School lounge in Manning
Hall by 7 p.m. The transportation
will be provided by the members
of the YDC and by law students.
UNC 'Needs'
Publicity Group
Hears Ay cock
Chancellor William B. Aycock and
other administrative officers have
suggested ways for the Committee
on State Affairs to carry out its
plans to publicize the University's
needs.
In a meeting of the committee
Wednesday night Aycock outlined
the needs of the University as be
ing increased faculty pay, appropi
ations for teaching supplies, a new
student union, repairs and additions
to classroom buildings, addiitional
books for the library, an appropria
tion for the extension division of
the University 'and a remedy for the
rising dormitory rent.
A meeting is scheduled for Mon
day, Dec. 15, at 7:30 for' student
volunteers who will contact their
representatives during Christmas to
present the financial needs of the
University to them. Chancellor Ay
cock, who supports the committee's
program, will speak at this meeting.
"Our Growing University," a stu
dent presentation of the needs of the
University, will be released during
the middle of next week. Copies of
the publication will be given to the
members of the General Assembly
during Christmas.
An office has been set up in Rol

OVER 55,000 CHARTS
Map Collection Growing
UNC's Library, known as "all
things to all people" is even a
haven for topographers!
Map-makers and anyone else in
terested in learning quickly where
windmills are, or where almost any
thing else is on a map, will surely
be at home among the more than
55,000 charts in a special room in
the Library.
The Library was selected, in 1945,
as one of the depositories for the
Army Map Service maps, and 50,-
000 maps were received until 1950,
when the service was suspended.
The service has been reinstated
and 1,400 Army maps were received
last month.
Until the Map Room was opened
last July the Army maps were stor
ed away. They are now filed in spe
cial cases in the Map Room, located
on the southeast corner of the first
floor and entered through the Manu
script Department. ;
The Army map, which vary in
scale, projections, size, form and
color, are topographic maps. They
give such detailed information as
motor highways, main and secondary
reads, paths, causeways, railways,
churches, cemeteries, windmills,
woods and orchards.
Should anyone anticipate a per
sonal visit to Khrushchev, some 50
maps on Russia are available. Latin
American maps are on hand for
cha-cha fans, courtesy of the Insti
tute of Latin American Studies.
Five 64 by 40-inch maps are
shown of the world, South America,
Venezuela and the United States.
These maps, in three dimensions,
are printed in 11 colors to emphasize
relief features. In addition to topo
graphic features other information
includes: cities, rivers, national
parks and monuments. But, alas,
Sad Sam isn't shown.
For air-minded folks there are
2,000 aeronautical charts, published
by the U. S. Air Force. They cover
the entire earth and give topogra
phical and physical features in addi
tion to specific data of interest to
pilots.
Civil War maps and National Geo
graphic maps are available.
Seven relief plaques exhibited cn
the walls of the Map Room depict
the contours of Europe, Asia, Africa,
North America, South America,
