The gambling crackdown stems from a recent announcement by the Interfratcrnity Council, the In tcrdormitory Council, and the Stu Communist Front Group Announces Youth Festival A pamphlet concerning the' World Youth Festival to be held in Vienna next summer has been recently released by the newly or ganized Independent Service for Information on the Vienna Youth Festival. The Independent Service was or ganized by a number of students and recent university graduates in the Boston area. v According to them, the Festival is the latest in a series of mass youth events organized since World War II by two leading Communist international youth fronts, The World Federation of Democratic Youth and the International Union of Students. The pamphlet predicts that "vast quantities" of literature will soon flood American campuses and youth organizations which will de pict the Festival as a neutral and non-political affair designed to further international fellowship and understanding by bringing to gether the youth of all countries in a spirit of good will. The pamphlet says that a "mis leading and highly incomplete picture will be given of what goes on at the Festival and of the mo tivations of its promoters." The Information Service has urged that no American attend the Festival in any representative or official capacity, even as the J spokesman of a college or local community organization. The Service is prepared to answ er inquiries regarding the Vienna Festival and to provide current information both to those who de sire a greater understanding of such meetings and to those who may be seriously considering at tending the Festival. They will provide background data on United States and world affairs and indications of what may be expected in Vienna. Information on transportation ana accommodations as well as around Wake Forest's Olin dent Council that gambling was against state laws, against Univer sity regulations, and against judici al policy. They promised at the time to crack down upon the in creasing gambling activity they saw present on the campus.

It was revealed at the meeting that only one letter has been re ceived from residents on Rosemary St. who are in a fraternity zone classification. An area from the telephone exchange to the Betty Smith residence are in the classifica tion and the board asked them for letters to indicate whether they de sired to keep the classification or be classified as residential. The only reply came from owner Jess Bennett, who said he wanted the zoning of his property to remain the same. Selden came to UNC in 1327 to try his hand at teaching for one year. He stayed for 31 years. Before leaving, he remarked, "Funny, but I thought I'd be here only a year. I found, though, that I liked teaching.

Ed Levy BillAmended ReferredTo Committee By DEE DANIELS Student Legislature, in a special session last night, pass ed four bills, including the single spring legislature election proposal, and sent the Levy bill to the Ways and Means Com mittee amended. A bill, introduced by Norman Smith (ind.), to change the student constitution to provide for a single annual spring Legislature election, if approved by the student body, was passed. In its original form, the bill would have provided that the referendum be voted on Dec. 9, 1958. It was amended by Ed Levy (SP-UP) to be presented as part of the spring election, 1959. Therefore, legislators now hold ing one year seats would retain them until the spring of I960, since there would be no election next fall to replace them. The governing body voted re-con sideration of the Levy bill to send telegrams to governors Faubus and Almond of Arkansas stating the Legislature's feeling on segregation in the schools. In action on the bill, Gary Greer (SP) proposed an amendment to send registered letters, instead of telegrams, and he read a revised message which clarifies the issue as a matter of education instead of segregation. The amendment was approved and the whole bill sent to the Ways and Means Committee. It previously had been passed unfavorably out of the Finance Committee. The solons also sanctioned bills to approve the Medical School Honor Council . by-laws and the Graduate Club constitution and to expand the attorney-general's staff to cover in vestigation of cases for the Student Council and Women's Council. Ralph Cummings, speaker, an nounced Jim Crownover as the new Student Party floor leader, upon the resignation of Paul Woodard. Michigan's it. Governor Is Carolina '51 Alumnus A 1951 graduate of the Univers ity of North Carolina Law School is the new lieutenant governor of the state of Michigan. John B. Swainson, a legless vet era of World War II who was a popular student at Chapel Hill in the several years after the war, is already being mentioned, too, as a possible successor eventually to Gov. G. Mennen Williams when Williams retires or goes to other high office. At 32, Swainson is the youngest lieutenant governor in the past 22 years in Michigan. a native of Port Huron, Mich., he lost his legs in a mine explosion at Metz, Germany, and he was ad vised by doctors to go south for his education rather than try to withstand the rigors of Michigan ice and snow at least until he learned to walk with facility on his artificial limbs. That's why he came to the UNC Law School. How John Swainson fared with his fellow students is recalled by classmates now practicing in law offices in North Carolina. Lindsay Warren Jr. of Golds- boro said, "The thing I remember most about him was his ready smile ,and I thought at the time that he was one of the most per sonable 'Yankees I had ever known." Wright T. Dixon Jr. of Raleigh said, MJohn made it his business to be self-reliant in spite of the fact that he had two artificial legs. By this I mean that he "did not use a cane, did not use crutches, did not use people to help him up and down steps and did not hold onto people when he walked. "John did everything that one could possibly imagine being done by a man in his position. We had a la.w school picnic one year and Budget Group Appointments Announced Appointments to the Budget Committee were announced re cetly by Don Furtado, student body president. By statute, Charlie Gray is chair man. Other appointees are David. Grigg, Lucy Forsyth, Edwin Full er, Bernie Frye, Pappy Churchill, Gordon Street, Ralph Cummings, Rhodes Corbett, Rudy Edwards, and Peyton Hawes. Of the committee, Furtado said yesterday, "The Budget Commit tee is probably one of the most important committees which is ap pointed annually. It is burdened with the responsibility of analyz ing the budget requests of the many varied organizations which fall under the cognizance of stu dent government." He emphasized that each of the above named individuals was se lected because "of a sincere will ingness to officially carry out his job." ROOM RESERVATIONS All organizations that meet in Graham Memorial have teen re minded that "standing" room re servations must be renewed at the beginning of each semester. Organization heads bare been requested to take care of this at once. he played on one of the soft ball teams as catcher, took his turn at bat, and although someone did run for him, got his share of the hits. John could dance on those damn things . . . The thing that stood out most about John was his pleasant and humorous outlook on life. Nothing ruffled John. He had. the gift of touching you with his happiness." William L. Thorp Jr. of Rocky Mount remembers that "John and. his wife, Alice, and two sons whose names were Mike and Steve, and an English bulldog, were; friends , of ours. Both he and his wife arii very personable and John' was one of the leaders of his legal, fraternity." Hubert Humphrey of Greensboro said, "He was universally liked; and respected by his classmatea and it is easy to understand hia political success." The Swainsons now have thres children. They lived in Plymouth, Mich., before his election, ami will be residing in Lansing, this state capital.
