The State Student Legislature lias been post)iicd due to the snow of the past few days. PostjMHicd indefinitely were the words used, but to some postponed indefinitely means camelled, and that would.be some thing that shouldn't happen. There is plenty of time between now and the (ieneipl Assembly meeting in February for the SSI. to meet, and nothing should deter the (hairman, a student at Duke Uni etsity, from making sure it docs meet. The tapitol may not be available, although since the schools have gone through with the t.k of getting their presidents' signatures theie should be no obstacle in getting the tapitol, but if it isn't another place must be found. If the SSL does not meet, it has a good hane of never meeting again, and an even better chance of the public saying thrf stu dents don't really want to speak out on issues. Not only must the SSL meet, but it would be advisable il the (hairman would send an inviation to Wake Forest. Apparently the only thing hrp is holding them back from omin.; is the fact that the Interim Commit tee has not issued an invitation. This ought to be clone frost haste. I he student bodies of many Universities and colleges in the state await with some con ein the lesiilts of the activity that the Chair man must pursue at the present time. Jan uary may be a cold month, but there will le some warmth in consolation if SSL docs IIIC C't.i . . ' University Party l'p until now, the editor has saved his scathing comments for the Student Tarty, comidning that the University Party is al most hopeless, and that any chance for better student ovci ninent must come either from the Student Party or from a third party not .4. ve t on the sc cue. Ilouevei, there must be a commentary made on the complete neglect of duty the Univeisitv Party delegation, with the excep tion of tlnee, showed they were capable of in last Thuisdav's meeting. At that time lather than voice their opin ions on the Levy Hill, brought up for recon sideration, i- ul with a chance of losing, the University Party delegation walked out of the 100m, thus making the, legislature lack a cuoi inn, li i he University Party cannot bring its mcmUoship in lull strength to meetings, then it just will have to take its medicine. Hut the University Party does not seem to h. r e the courage to do that. The University Party will no doubt have its lull membership there at the next legis lature meeting, and most of them will be aimed to avoid the issue of student respon sibility towaid higher education, and to vote "no" in a block. Yet, maybe the campus will get wise before too long, and cease electing people who will make a farce out of student government, and perhaps do something to dean up the University Party, and for that matter the Student Party, which needs a little airing ; lso every now and then. I he campus with the most elalxirate form oi student government in the nation has a long way to go before it has a good, courage ous, honest effective student government.

BILL BRINKHOUS M'LILII NESS IL Jl Ron Shumate Possibly the biggest news to those of us here was the snow and the bomb scares. The heaviest snow in over 20 years in the: Carolinas covered much of the two states. Traffic was paralyzed, schools were closed and many people were caught with their summer pants on. On the local scene, we had 7 inches of the white stuff. The larg est accumulation in the Carolinas was recorded at Southern Pines, -where 15-17 inches fell. The largest city in the two states had a mere .01 of an inch. The bomb scares at UNC stirred up no little confusion but no build ings were blown sky-high. Bingham and Saunders halls were "supposed" to be blown up, classes were suspended temporari ly, but no bombs were even found. Prominent foreign news came out of Communist China, which is manifesting intense interest and activty in the affairs of Africa and the Middle East. The Peping government seems to be vying with the Soviet govern ment in efforts to influence econ omic and political development in Arab and Negro countries. In Communist China itself, a delegation of the provisional and self-declared Algerian government has been received . with great fan fare. Sudan and Communist China have recognized each other and will most likely establish diploma tic relations. This wll give Peiping a diplomatic mission deep in the heart of Africa. The Chinese Communist deputy minister of foreign trade returned at the end of November from a tour of North Africa. He visited both Morocco and Tunisia with a trade delegation and signed trade agreements. During his visit, Mo rocco and Communist China es tablished diplomatic relations. Communist China seems to be tryng to establish a big beachhead in Africa and the Middle East. U. S.-Russia Conflict The United States Thursday night served notice on Russia and the world that it "will not be deterred by threats" from defending its rights in protecting West Berln. The same night, Krushchev said that a western attempt to break through to Berlin by force would bring on a war and the use of Russia's most powerful weapons. But he said he did not think such a war Is coming. He told an independent newspa per in Munich that some hotheads among western military leaders had suggested the use of tanks and troops to open a way to Ber lin if necessary. Krushchev had previously de clared that the Soviet Union would stand by East Germany if the United States, Britain and France committed an "aggression" against East Germany. Therefore, his statements in the Munich news paper's Interview only elaborated his previous threats. Friday, Secretary of State Dul les, after a conference with Presi dent Eisenhower, accused Soviet leaders of "contemptuous disre gard" for their now pledged word, He appealed for allied unity to de feat hostile threats such as the Communists are making over Ber lin. The U. N. general assembly con demned the Soviet Union and Hun gary for repressing the people of Hungary. The two Communist na tions said they would ignore the action, just as they have done In the past. The assembly adopted a resolu tion sponsored by the U. S. and 26 other nations that also de nounced the executions last June of former premier Imre Nagy, Gen. Paul Maleter "and other Hungarian patriots." Soviet deputy foreign minister Zorin charged at a news conference that the United Slates brought up the issue only to inensify he cold war. Hungary served notice it would not enter into conultations with him on U. N. resolutions stemming from the revolt. Moscow took the tame attitude.

A Navy tanker plane, attempting an emergency landing smashed two houses Tuesday. Its four-man crew and two babies in one of the homes died in the wash of flames from the fuel-filled tanker. Two others suffered burns and shock. Wednesday nine persons died when a bomb blasted the head quarters of a religious cult's ranch in the Chatsworth Hills in Cali fornia. Two of the dead were chil dren. Krishna Venta, leader of the Fountain of the World cult, was one of those killed. Two members of the cult were responsible for the bombing. Both men died in the explosion. New Speed Record Set Wednesday a Pan American 707 jet transport flew from New York io Paris in the record time of 6 hours, 16 minutes. The flight chop ped 37 minutes off the previous record set by the Boeing jet two weeks ago. The plane carried a Tail winds, with gusts up to 160 m. p. h. pushed the giant plane on its way.

The Wall Street Journal pub lished a two sentence editorial to assure Virginia that, indeed, there is a Santa Claus. "The United States government is estimated to have given away more than 60 billion dollars in for eign aid since World War II. "Now then, Virginia, what was your question?" Virginia was the child who wrote a letter to the old New York Sun many years ago asking if there is a Santa Claus. In an editorial now historically famous the Sun assured here there is. Finnish Communists '.'The" Finnish' Communist party is putting on a show of reasonable ness in the current political crisis, but President Kekkonen, sounds as though he fears the Russian sickle will cut off the little country's in dependence. . : Kekkonen has called cm the mid dle of the road Agrarian party to replace the resigned . rightist gov ernment. . Communist party leaders have said they will be satisfied, lor the time being, just to get the Right ists out, although they do not re nounce heir intentions of ultimate control. Kekkonen has hinted to the West not to try to intervene. The U. S. h.is carefully avoided any provocation in Finland at aay time. The moon probe Pioneer III reached a height of about 65,')00 miles before falling back to earth. It never got up quite enough speed to escape Earth's gravita tional field. The rocket was not termed a failure, however. Space officials of Letter On Student Responsibility 7 r To Tht Student Body: THE STUDENT HAS A RESPONSIBILITY NOT ONLY TO HIMSELF,' BUT TO IHS FELLOW STU DENTS, AND THE EDUCATIONAL COMMUNITY AS WELL. I maintain unwavering confidence in the student's ability t6 fulfill that responsibility.' ; This is a belief in potential, though; action must prove what I say is true. Throughout the past ten years, the United States National Student Association has been steadfastly directed towards stimulation the student to an aware ness of his own potential. There exists now a proj ect approaching a logical step in the progression towards the fulfillment of that goal a project of which UNC should partake to the utmost degree. USNSA action to improve current educational practices comes as a result of a scries of events that has underscored the need for active concern. The White House Conference on Education of Januarv 1956 where USNSA represented .and voiced student opinion on proposed educational ': reforms provided the stimulus for initial exploration into, problems confronting American education. In 1957, delegates of the Tenth National Student Congress, recognizing the need for positive action, mandated the national staff to review the present educational system with a view to seeking out mediums for effective student action. ' Last year the National Executive Committee of USNSA declared that USNSA activity for the 1958. 1959 school year would center on the project theme the students responsibility a declaration that we might well think of repeating concerning the goals cf fctudent. activity on UNC's campus both (or the forthcoming semester and for the year 1959-1960. I earnestly urg8 this be given careful thought by the student body. j: ... v This project could be an experiment. We at UNC stand on the borders of a frontier. The potential that exists here in organizing and utilizing latent student resource to increase the student's responsi bility for his own education ar d further for tlic uality of education on his campus is one that has gone relatively unexplored. ; This project could be an attempt to intensiiy the educational impact of the college experieno;, to develop in the "average" student, because he :s the center of education, a feeling of personal in volvement in the processes of education. ; v ,i J:" - i .. ; ' , 'if ; r, -.i.r ??
