John F. Kennedy charged Wednesday that Vice President Richard M. Nixon was traveling "the road to irresponsibility" in ad vocating the defense of Que moy and Matsu islands. Kennedy joined a Demo cratic congressional candidate in checking on a Republican report that the Eisenhower administration already had be gun secret negotiations for the withdrawal of troops from the two controversial Chinese Nationalist islands off the Communist - held Chinese mainland. The query brought an im mediate denial by the State Department that such nego tiations were underway. "If America gets into a war," Kennedy said, "then it should be for sufficient rea son. Quemoy and Matsu are not sufficient reason. By de fending Quemoy and Matsu we jeopardize the defense of Formosa." ' He said many top military experts believe the islands would be indefensible under an all-out Chinese Communist attack. Student Legislature eview By 11AHVE HATtRIS " Five bills introduced at last week's meeting of the Student Legislature will be up for ac tion at the second meeting of the year in New East at 7:30. A bill to appropriate $300 to be used in entertaining the Uni versity of Toronto students tak ing part in UNC-Toronto Ex change program was introduced by Pete Thompson. The program was begun last year. This year the Canadians will visit Chapel Hill Nov. 11 13 with a Carolina delegation returning the visit between fall and spring semesters. Another Bill Another appropriations 'bill, this one for $42, was also intro duccd by Thompson, intended to supplement the monthly meals allotment of an Indonesian stu dent studying here under the Foreign Students' Leadership Program. .- 1 1 To R DOCTOR OF LAWS was the honorary degree conferred upon Dr. S. ! Walter Martin (r.), president of Emory University, during " yesterday's exer- 1! x4 International ".arM LONG BEACH, Calif. Vice President Richard M. Nixon's case against Sen. John F. Kennedy stretched from high prices to the coast of China. Campaigning in his home state whose 32 electoral votes he needs with admitted ur-, gency, the vice president Wednesday also called for "a new look at American avia tion" and possible elevation of the Federal Aviation Agen cy to cabinet status if he . is chosen to head a national ad ministration. Aside from his local em phasis on the need for im proved federal policy to help the aviation industry's transi tion into the jet age, Nixon warmed up two issues over which he hoped to do battle with Kennedy when they meet over split-screen television Thursday night, Nixon here and Kennedy in New York. These issues: The Republican's belief that Kennedy has invited a Chinese Communist threat of Quemoy and Matsu by advocating omission of the tiny offshore islands from the defense peri meter of Formosa. , Five Bills Establishment of a Student Credit Commission to replace the Bad Checks Committee was introduced by Tarn Lefler. Lefler said that necessary good credit relations between students, their organizations and resident units have not always existed in the past and that the function of the Bad Check Committee has been in scope to entirely remedv this situation. Forum Revamped The structure Carolina Forum would be revamped under pro visions of a bill presented by Chip Woodrum,' who said that since the Forum was established by the Legislature in 1949 it has at times been almost inoperable. Cutting down "the time con suming process of legislation" used to vary the . size of certain executive committees of student government is the subject of, a bill introduced .by , Arthur Mer rill.

Alcoholic beverages will be barred from the stadium. Any person who displays al coholic beverages or who is in toxicated and causes a disturb ance at the game will be asked to refrain from this practice. If he fails to comply to the re quest, he will be asked to leave the stadium. - Restraint Urged Student Body President David Grigg urged all Carolina stu dents yesterday to refrain from taking alcoholic beverages to the game. "There has been an increas ing amount of drinking at the football games with unruliness and misconduct as a result," said Grigg. "This misconduct can be attributed not only to students, but also to visitors. "Enforcement of the state law is not an abridgment of student rights; rather, it is a precaution for enjoyment of the game. Statute Cited "I cannot emphasize enough the importance of the students abiding by this law. It is my wish that there be no difficulty in this matter, and I am sure that the students will co-operate." Section 18-51 of the General Statutes . of North Carolina reads: "It shall be unlawful for any person or persons to be or become intoxicated or to make any public display of any al coholic beverages at any ath letic contest or other public place in North Carolina."

Young late yesterday afternoon. "I cannot help but feel that a good portion of the campus, after reading yesterday's story, feels the chances for a new stu dent union-undergraduate li brary have diminished. "On the contrary, both Presi dent David Grigg and I are cer tain the entire University ad ministration is backing this phase of the budget to the ut most. We have never been in a better position than we are now," he added.

Grigg added, "The meeting on Monday night was a clear dem onstration of the fact that the administration is concerned with student feeling and eager to have us express our views. Stu dent government is in complete accord and harmony with all of the University budget, and will support each section with en thusiasm." At the Monday meeting, Dean Fred Weaver stated that if the administration, faculty and stu dents work together, this will be an unbeatable combination.

Chairman Young thanked the members of the administration who were present and added, "There are very few schools where students would . be en couraged to participate in such a program. On this campus, the administration has continued to value student opinion for a number of years. "In return for this trust," he concluded, "we intend to give them a responsible student gov ernment program with empha sis on the word 'responsible.' The students of this campus may take pride in the confidence placed in student government by those entrusted to run the University, and be assured that all members of the administra tion recognize the need for a student union-undergraduate li brary." t fc-ir- ' '.."V 4 ...
