First Gambling Hearings
esult In 11 Convictions
By NORMAN SMITH
Thursday night In a five-hour ses
sion II students were convicted In
the first scries of gambling cases
ever brought before the Student
Council.
This action was the result of a
Hnt .statement made last fall by
!ie Student Council, Intcrdormitory
Council, and Interfraternity Council
tuat all gambling cases are to be
tried by the Student Council.
TWO ON PROBATION
Two sentences of indefinite pro
bation and 10 official reprimands
ginatcd by Jim Long, Student Coun
ill chairman, who "by inere chance
happened to be at the scene of the
crime," according to Council Clerk
John Owens.
The gambling, described as being
of serious nature involving substan
tial sums of money, occurred In a
fraternity house. Several more de
fendants will be tried at a later
session of the Student Council.
With information in hand that
gambling games with stakes as high
as $2,500 had recently ocurrcd and
a greater number of complaints
vcrc handed down; one student was lately a gambling in dormitories and

live and student government lead
ers, the Student Council has em
barked on a "get tough" policy con
cerning gambling- on campus.
"It's a problem that had been
neglected for too long. The adminis
tration has felt that the increased
tempo of gambling has resulted in
financial embarrassment and aca
demic neglect on the part of many
students who have participated,"
said Student Council member Erwin
Fuller.
Yet the crackdown was entirely
student insired; there was no di
rection by the administration, ac
cording to several council members.
NOT 'TEST CASES'
Although the Council doesn't want
ihese cases considered "test cases"
or the men convicted "scapegoats"
nd could not commit itself to more
or less lenient disposition of sen
tences in the future, Chairman Long
asserted, "I feel that these sen
tences might not have been what
they were had there been prece
dents to rely on. We can't say that
all of the cases will follow this pat
tern. Each case will be judged on
its own merit."
DEFINITION DIFFICULT
Members of the Council said that
they are as yet unagle to make de
finitions of exactly what type or de
gree of gambling would be punished.
Several of the members said they
and probably everyone else at the
University had at one time or oth
er been guilty of petty gambling
such as matching coins for coffee.

WASHINGTON (AP) President
Eisenhower challenged a "yes,
but" Democratic congress yester
day to join him in quest of mili
tary and economic strength for a
surging America and a just peace
These were thc great goals set
torth for thc ycir ahead in a presi
dential state of thc union message.
In general terms, Eisenhower out
lined a formidable but "sensible
Ksturc of defense" along with a
balanced budget and war against
inflation.
In these days when the latest
bombers "cost their weight in
iold," Eisenhower said, "We can
afford everything we clearly need,
ut wc cannot afford one cent of
.'astc."
The President appealed to the'
agislators to work with him to

By MARY ALICE ROWLETTE
It cannot be said that the unusual
weather in North Carolina this win
ter hasn't been predicted. In fact,
the weather has been predicted by
just about everyone who has spent
more than 12 months in the state.
The only trouble; is that it .hasn't
been predicted correctly. At least
not very often. V- ? O"
: Admittedly, the official weather
'bureau has imade a few correct pre
dictions, but ' they were met with
such howls of protest that even
they have been forced to back dow:ti.
It all began on December 12 when
snow was predicted in Chapel Hill.
"But it can't snow," said the na
tives confidently, "It never snows
around here until about - February.
And that's just about once evei-y
four or five years."
On December 13, it snowed.
It wasn't just a light, powdered
sugar snow that could be ignored,
but an honest to goodness, car stall
ing, snowball-fight-slcigh-ride-prov
eking SNOW.
Thc. weather bureau said, "I told
you so." The natives said nothing.
However, on December 14 com
ments such as, "Well, this should
be gone: -by tomorrow. Snow never
lasts longer than a couple of days
around here;" were almost as thick
as the snow itself.
On December 15, it snowed again.
Accompanying the soft, white
flakes were shaking heads and re
marks of utter disbelief.
By December 16 people were be
ginning to become seriously worried
iirbout getting home for Christmas
and there were muttenngs about
hanging the weatherman in effigy.
However, in the next few days the
snow began to turn into a dirty,
sloppy slush and everyone thank
fully went home to try to forget the
whole thing.
Over the holidays several of the
northern states suffered from ex
tremely bitter weather which only
served to remind pcop'c of the dis
grace of the North Carolina Cham
ber of Commerce and many came
back to school asking. "Will the
storms come this far south?"
This time, not only did the lay
men . answer this question with a
resounding, "No," ("We never have
more, than one snow a year." but
the weather bureau got into the act.
, ; On January 6, the weather bu
reau at the Italeigh-Durham Airport
predicted warming weather.
On January 7, that same weather
bureau predicted that the tempera
ture would hit a high of 00 on Jan
uary 8.
On January 8, it snowed.
Snow is cold and wet. It causes
colds and automobile accidents and.
occasionally, oroKen legs.
All this, however, could be for
given if it didn't make such disgust
ing liars out of, otherwise, pretty
nice people.
