According to Jone.s. the problem is serious in Dorm Men's VI (Avery, Parker and Teague). Here the com bined effect of the swimming pool, the stagnant water from the tennis court development and the adjacent woods bring out mosquitos in large numbers, he said. $77,450 Given To University UNC has been allocated $77,450 by the N. C. Council of State to cover damages from fires on cam pus. The largest part of the money, $i'0.lil, covers damares to the Uni versity's general s'ore room behind Phillips Hail. The fire at the store room occurred last December. Iastead of making repairs to the old structure, storage facilities will be moved off campus. J. S. Ren nett. director of buildings and grounds, said this week a concrete block structure to consolidate stor age would be buill. Another $10.22fi was allocated by the Council of State for the loss of the Keller house, used by the Divi sion or Health Affairs. This struc ture was destroyed in January. The remains of the building are being torn down to provide parking space for the Carolina Inn, Bennett said. The final allocation was $7,113 for G. M.

The new attorney general is Jacl Spain, whose appointment was an nounced Thursday night to Student Legislature. The appointment is sub ject to the approval of Legislature, which will act next week. Student Body President Charlie Gray, who selected Spain to suc ceed Dick Robinson, commented, "1 definitely believe that Jack Spain fills the requirements more than adequately." The job of the attorney general Is to head a staff which investigates violations of the Campus and Honor codes by both men and women. He is also called upon to give opinions on the validity of organization acti vities and is responsible for any other duties delegated to him by th president of the student body. Spain has worked this year under Dick Robinson as assistant attorney general. Spain's other campus acti vities include vice president of the junior class, member of the Pro gram Committee of the Carolina Symposium, member of the Traffic Ccuncil and an officer of Phi Gam ma Delta Jraterruty. Spain has been tapped into such honoraries as the Order of the Old Well and the Order of the Grail. For his scholastic achievements, he has been accepted into the member ship of Phi Eta Sigma, Phi Alpha Theta and Phi Beta Kappa. Spain said Friday he was honored to be appointed to the student gov ernment position and commented, "I hope during the next year we car. work toward a conscientious ap praisal of the judicial system both in procedures and campus under standing." The new attorney general praised Robinson his predecessor, for "good work he has done in the last year." In making the appointment, Char lie Gray predicted a possible ex pansion in the attorney general's responsibilities through probable changes in the judicial system. He further commented that he believed Spain would execute all duties of the office in "a truly admirable fashion." Gray Announces Student Body President Charlie Gray reminded students that Mon day is the final day that applications for more than 150 student govern ment positions may be made. The application blanks may be secured from the student govern ment office in Graham Memorial and must be returned there. The interviews with applicants are being held in the student govern ment office until further notice. Presbyterians' $125,000 Fund Drive Begins Coed Voting On Referendum Is Postponed The coed refer endum on social and activities fees will not be held Tues day, as had been previously an nounced. Such a referendum cannot be held until six to fifteen days have elapsed after the student body president signs the Legislature bill calling for the vote. Because of a question involving the constitutionality of a bill passed two weeks ago by Legislature authorizing the referendum, the bill was brought up again Thursday night by Jim Crownover SP. The second bill was passed by Legislature Thurs day. The question of the original bill's constitutionality involved the right of a student organization, as the Women's Residence Council, to tax the students. The referendum to be voted on requests administration to levy social and activity fees which would be turned over to the Wom en's Residence Council. Although the date of the refer endum has not been set, Elections Board Chairman Hank Patterson said the election would probably be held Tuesday, May 5.

FRIEDRICH A two-week $125,000 drive is now in process. It was launched Monday morning to rebuild the Presbyterian Church which was destroyed by lire in February 1958. The new sanctuary, expected to be ready by September 1960, will cost at least $300,000. For the $125, 000, 38 members, as of Monday morning, had pledged $35,903. In ad dition, $96,000 from the fire insur ance settlement is available for con traction costs. Students have been asked to par ticipate in the rebuilding campaign on an installment plan. Pledge cards, setting forth payments for so much a month, semester or year, will cover a three-year period. I2ver since the fire, Presbyterians have tLsed Carroll Hall for Sunday morning services. A new fellowship hall, nearing completion, will soon be used for services this summer. The hall, housing student and church school facilities, is located on the church site opposite the University campus on East Franklin Street. The new Presbyterian Church will have a seating capacity of 699. The old church seated about 400. Even before the fire, double services were required on Sundays to accommo date the congregation and students, which now totals 563. The old church, built in 1920, was a gift from the late James Sprunt of Wilmington as a memorial to his wife. The Chapel Hrll Presbyterian Church is a strategic center for the denomination in that it serves the largest concentration of Presbyter ian college students at any institu- ion in the southeast. A committee of Presbyterian stu dents will soon be asking Carolina students for subscriptions. The com mittee is headed by Pete Austin and Cathy Hobert. Bruce Berryhill and Bill Lineberry will cover men's dorms; Scottie Blackwell will visit women's dorms; Don Millen and Julie Redhead are seeking pledges among fraternities and sororities, and Bob Spencer will visit married students. Student pledges will buy bricks. Bricks cost $15 per hundred which includes labor for construction. 1 1 J .- -4 v ,( 5 for !?. SAM MAG ILL resigns after four years High Jump Oh Man! EAST ST.

Weaver Friday. Magill has been awarded a special grant from the Dan forth Foundation for graduate study in religion. He will be gin his studies in Christian Ethics this fall at Duke University. Dean Weaver said the study at Duke will allow Magill "to prepare himself for the larger contribution which he is so eminently qualified to make."

I want to go and I want to stay," was Magill's only com ment. Magill's successor has not yet been named, but Dean Weaver will make the appointment. Student Body President Charlie Gray said, "I am truly sorry to hear that Sam Magill will not be with us next year. While he has been at Carolina, he has earned the respect of every student on the campus." Gray said Magill had displayed his untiring effort in working with student affairs and in offering invaluable advice to all student leaders. "I regret that I will not be able to work with him next year, but I'm sure his decision was the one that he considers best," the presi dent said. A 1950 UNC graduate, Magill has been assosiated with the Universi ty administration since 1955, first as director of student activities and, since last May, as assistant dean of student affairs.

C, April 24 t- The president cf the Harriet-Hen derson Cotton Mills, again going against the advice of Gov. Luther II. Hodges, said today he will start a third shift at the strike-bound mills. John D. Cooper Jr. said the new shift will begin next Tuesday night. Jobs still vacant on the shift will be offered striking members of the Textile Workers Union of America (TWUA), Cooper said. He said he already had employed enough non-strikefs to justify the shift but added there are "quite a number" of vacancies open for un ion members. The company's two plants have been the center of bitter violence for nearly six months, since the TWUA struck last Nov. 17 in dis pute with management over a new contract. Cooper reopened the plants Feb. 13 on a one-shift basis. More viol ence flared as hundreds of jobless (See HENDERSON, Page 3) iss Chapel Hi T H Jr S in; VV - V v .
