Ter ry Sanford's proposed food tax plan was urged as wom en's opposition to the tax mounted. Sanford Wednesday told the Raleigh Woman's Club that "I think we can put the simple question to the house wives. Do you want better edu cation and are you willing to pay. for it." A United Press International survey of housewives indicated support for improving educa tion but strong opposition to taxing food to pay for it. Mrs. Marvin Waugh of States ville called for a march on Ra leigh. "The women of this state should march on Raleigh and remain on the Capitol steps until something is definitely de cided one way or another, she said. Other sentiments voiced by housewives included: "Food is expensive enough without extending the sales tax to food items," said Mrs. W. H. Melton of Greensboro, mother of three school-age children. "That's too much. I would like to see better education but I'm not enough of an expert to sug gest alternate . financing. "I like Governor Sanford, but this food tax is not a good idea." On the other ssde.-Mrs. Clyde Parker of Elkin said she would go alone with Sanford's idea. "Anything for education," she added. "I'll, go along with the governor on anything that will inmrove education.

Rosemary St. Duke Will Admit Negroes In Fall ToGrad School DURHAM (UPI) Part of the racial barrier at Duke Univer sity has been chopped down by a resolution of the Duke Board of Trustees that admission to the graduate and professional schools will be open to persons without regard to race, creed or national origin after Sept 1, 1961. The target date for the enact ment of the resolution -will .be the first time Negroes have been admitted to the univer sity's graduate programs for de gree work. Non-white foreign students have participated in these pro erams for many years. The Board of Trustees gave no reason for its action. However, speculation on the campus was that the resolution was an effort to keep from los ing some federal and foundation grants which might be exclud ed from secrecated schools. The board named Dr. J.lDcryl Hart, president pro tern of the university, "as president until a successor is chosen for former president Dr. Hollis Edens, who resigned. B. . S. :Womble of Winston Salem, chairman of the board. said this : action does not affect the duties and responsibilities of the Presidential Selection Committee which was named last year to choose Dr. Edens successor. - The STANDS USiklStates - ' e - - Chinese rejected a request that U.S.: newsmen be permitted to enter China.

So far as he knows, the Brit ish have not notified the Unit ed States that they intend to vote next fall to consider the admission of Communist China to tljie United Nations, as Brit ish officials have indicated in London. ,He said the problem will be extremely serious if it is an at tempt to seat the Red Chinese and .unseat the Nationalists of Chiahg Kai-shek.

BOB SEVIER Student body presidential Harriss outlined plans for ment of an on-campus carrier dio station in a statement released to the DTH yesterday. The text of the statement follows: The establishment of a carrier current radio station on this campus could be invaluable. It would be a perfect supple ment to the; program I have al ready outlined for informing all students of the programs of Stu dent Government. In addition it could provide . entertaining listening for the campus. Although some work has been done on this in the past, the very non-existence of the pro gram proves the lack of ener getic efforts by previous admin istrations. By making this a primary and immediate aim of my adminis tration, I am reasonably cer tain of improving this situation by careful consideration and ef fectual work. Go To Dorms This station would be carried to all dormitories ' and many fraternities and sororities im mediately. It would provide good listen ing and study music of many varieties from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. rurthcr music and campus news and interviews would be carried from 12 midnight to 1 a.m.. . ' There would be no commer cials, but the schedule would be filled with programs of classical, semi-classical, jazz, show, and popular music. Booster Units Because there will be booster units in every residence unit area, there will be extermely clear reception. Also portable radios would be able to pick up the station anywhere in a room where there is a power outlet. . After having discussed this in some detail with the station of ficials at WUNC, we have found this to be not only feasible and advantageous, but realizable if given the proper support. - Begin By May We see no reason for carrier current operations not beginning by the first of Mav. With the trial period ' of the res oi the semester to aid us, we shall be able to "iron out" all the flaws, and full, interest ing, and entertaining program ming could be completely estab- ubuca Dy the fall semester. 1961 Offices in Carnival .".V '-etr-- FIRM " 5 O'CLOCK SHADOW might disappear, sooner than exr peeled if Dan Moore's razor shaves loo closely through the lather on the balloon" Bev Foard is holding.

'At tSt Coining To Town w4 s Lack of communication with the cam-pus-at-large is one of the problems that UP student body presidential candidate Bob Sevier hopes to solve through the ap pointment of a full-time press secretary. In a statement issued to the DTH, Se his plans for -this post. The statement follows: A constant problem facing student government is that of successfully reporting its ac tivities to the student body. To alleviate this problem, I . feel student government should have a full-time press secretary. The Daily Tar Heel is the only media through which success ful communication with' every student can be maintained. To be sure, the student body presi dent, the IDC representative, or the student legislator is limited in personally contacting his con stituents -as often as is needed. Releases Made For this reason, several brief releases should be made weekly through the Tar Heel concern ing the activity in all branches and phases of student govern ment. It the President meets with Chancellor Aycock to discuss the honor system or if the Aca demic Affairs Committee is running course evaluations, for example, their . work, findings, and conclusions should be re ported. Every meeting of the Student Legislature - should be closely covered. The student body President and Vice-President simply do not have time to do justice in preparing such releases. Will Appoint If elected, I will appoint a press secretary for student gov ernment. He will hold no other position and will not be a mem ber of the Tar Heel staff. In performing his duties, this press secretary would neces sarily maintain close contact with all of student government. Thus, in addition to assisting with press, releases, he would be another valuable link be tween the president and the or ganizations of student govern ment. OLD TIMERS GAME Dallas Branch and Al Long, two former UNC baseball stars, are hopeful of organizing a team of "old timers" to play the Tar Heel varsity this spring. Plans are not yet completed. Four Pages This Issue JLJiil i Greeks, Campus Chest Combining Efforts Saturday BY ED RINER The Campus Chest Carni val is coming to town Satur day. Ringing girls legs with garters, donkey rides and ping-pong golf will com prise a small part of the 45- booth shindig on Intramural Field, next to Woollen Gym. 1:30-5:30 p.m. Saturday. Several traditions will be broken by the carnival barkers' calls. For one thing, a Chapel Hill town ordinance against carnivals is being waived for the special carnival. And this year the fun and frolic idea is a merger of the Campus Chest drive and the Interfraternity Council's an nual Greek Week carnival. All proceeds will go to the Campus Chest. Surprise Events The variety of activity will be contributed by dorms, fra ternities and sororities. Surprise events will come from Milton's Clothing Cupboard and The Goody Shop. Another merchant, Kemp, will stage his own show when he drives up sometime during the afternoon with a foreign car full of 45 rpm records to give away.' , Physical culture fans will have the opportunity to com pete against Doug Moe, Ycrk Larese - and : other basketball players from the foul line, cour tesy of the Monogram Club. 10c A Dance Charleston fans may have their fling with the 10-cents-a- dance hall featuring the Chi Omega's. Fraternity row will be bustling with greascd-pig chases by Sigma Alpha Epsi lon, and Theta Chi's tennis ball throwing at a picture of Art Heyman. Conner dorm's booth will be a boon for carnival-goers with the urge to "get it off their chest." The dorm's car-smashing booth may release nervous energy, but the means of the fender-bending are being kept secret. Men wishing to shave more than once a day or who think they have tender skin may want to try their touch by shav ing a balloon from the Nurses' dorm. Softies may try their luck at hitting Mclver girls with pow der puffs. Other events are on the secret list, but will be jump ing when the carnival gets" going. Varsity Manager Denies Influence On Movie Policy Andy Gutierrez, manager of the Varsity theater, this week stated that the segregation-integration policy of his theater did not depend on the policy of the Caro lina theater. This statement disagreed with statements attributed to Guti errez by spokesmen for the Citizen's Committee for Open Movies. According to these sources Gutierrez had said he was in favor of desegregation in his theater but did not have the authority to act. Not To Argue He said this week that al though he did not wish to argue with the committee he had "never made any public state ment for or against theater in tegration." Statements from the commit tee also carried a quotation purportedly from H. F. Meisel man, the theater owner in Char lotte, which said he would not be able to follow a policy any different from the other Chapel Hill theater, the Carolina. Spokesmen for the committee were not available for comment on Gutierrez's latest statement. 1 irfV i I' M W : f SJ
