C. George of the UNC School of Medicine was retained this summer by a "group in Ala bama" to write a study of biologi cal differences between races, he said yesterday. A $3000 check from the gover nor's emergeny fund to George-led to an announcement by Alabama Gov. John Patterson's attorney, Ralph Smith of. (Montgomery, that the study had been undertaken. George, professor emeritus of his trology and embryology, said that the purpose of the study was "to discover and report the scientific evidence in regards to the racial problem." He said, "The most dogmatic answers are given by the people who know least about the issue Morehead Day Program Held In Sivain Hall tinis is tne lutn and last in a series about John Motley More- head Day, which is today.)

Effort to Explore Smith, who is retained by the Alabama governor to represent him in racial litigation,.; said that the study was part of an effort to "ex plore every avenue in efforts to preserve racial segregation." "Actually, scientific data supports the contention that the, white race intellectually, is superior to the Negro, and that is the point we seek to make with this study,!' he said. Smith said that it was their hope in making the study to cause the courts to take a new look at the situation. George was unable to announce the publication date of the study, to be entitled "The Biology of the Race Problem." "That's up to the people in Alabama," he said. Other Work The UNC professor ' has done other work on the race question. A pamphlet published in England, en titled "Race, Heredity, and Civili zation" includes these statements: "The Caucasion race, in spite of all its frailties, stupidities and evil ways, has demonstrated a capacity for creative greatness that has pro duced most of the civilizations of history. "On the other hand, whatever its other virtues may be, the Negro race has never produced any civili zation any where at any time." "We are told that tnere is no fundamental difference between men. How often have you heard 'All men are created equal, "noted with the implication that it applies to men's abilities? Most of us will admit that all men should be equal in their right to justice and fair play; but in the biological sense there is no truth in the quotation and it has no valid force or use in solving the race problem."

Speeches By CHUCK MOONEY The Carolina Symposium, started in 1926 as the Institute of Human Relations, has featured Senators, editors, professors, preachers, No. bel Prize winners, foreign diplo mats, industrialists and labor lead ers discussing everything from for eign policy and missies to integrat ing and unionizing the South. The YMCA cabinet created the Institute to stimulate campus in terest in national and world prob lems with a week-long program of speakers discussing various aspects of a central theme. These programs were to be held once every four years so that a student would have access to one during his college career. The Institute was so successful that its programs were soon moved to one every two years. Until 1939 the topics discussed had been local or regional. With the advent of WW II, the topics soon became world-wide "The U. S. in the World Crisis" in 1941, "Total Victory and Global Peace" in 1943 and "The Prices of Peace" in 1945. The Institute lapsed after 1945 and wasn't revived until 1956, then renamed the Carolina Symposium. The Symposium has attracted many eminent speakers in recent years including Ralph Bunche, member of the UN Secretariat (who narrowly averted a massacre What SP They're Saying University Party Chairman Bill Criswell said; yesterday that the Uy had been "very active" in at tempting to accomplish the vari ous planks of its fall platform adopted at its convention. Following is the text of Criswell's statement: "As was stated in a Daily Tar Heel article last Friday, the UP has proposed a realistic platform. To prove the. platform is a realis tic one, UP class officer candidates have, accomplished the following parts of the platform: "First, two UP candidates went before the Women's Residence Council, proposed an action, and succeeded in getting the coed clos ing hours extended from 1 until 2 a.m. on both Friday and Satur day nights of the Germans week end; second, there is a UP can didate on the board set up by the Party to review the Campus En tertainment Committee. Further more, the Campus Entertainment Committee has agreed to cooper ate fully with this board headed by Whitney Durand. Third, Uni versity Party Candidates and Par ty officials have run in the Torch for Education marathon as a fur ther example of the U.P.'s support of the Bond Issue. "And finally confetti has been procured to be given out to the cheering section at the homecom- 4ng game, against L.S.U. This. is in accordance with the Paftys"de- sire to increase school spirit. It should be evident that the Univer sity Party is carrying out its plat form with action, and that it is being accomplished by the candid ates for class offices."

It was the first time that the $2,000 prize had been given to a foreigner. ROTARIANS HEAR HUDSON Professor A. P.

From in the Congo in 1960), who predict ed to the 1956 Symposium that Africa would be a key area of revolt against colonialism. Sergei R. Striganov, Russian charge d'aff aire, in 1958 defended the Russian suppression of Hungary and denied that German scientists had played a major role in Soviet rocket development. UNC students needled Striganov incessantly and tartly about Russia's foreign pol icy. He left UNC saying that he would tell the Russian people about a nation of "automobiles, advanced industry, and agriculture, and Little Rock, Ark." Victor Reuther, brother of Labor Leader Walter Reuther, told the Symposium of 1958 that "the South will be unionized in the near fu ture." In that same Symposium, Harry Golden said that the "biggest prob lems" for the southern Negro would be after he "achieves first class citizenship, politically and econo mically." "The South's Mr. Courage," Har ry Ashmore (editor of the Little Rock "Arkansas Gazette") answ ered Golden's speech with a de fense of Little Rock's schools and segregation in general. This year the Carolina Symposi um will feature a Senator, a Har vard professor and other outstand ing speakers, discussing "Today's Revolutions." t I I up! George Rosental and Peter Hark ness, Student Party presidential candidates for Sophomore and Freshman classes respectively, is sued a statement yesterday con cerning the abolishment of class officers. The statement, in part, said, ''Any large body of people needs leadership and each class at Caro lina is no exception .. . The Stu dent Party has a platform this year which advocates more power for class officers . . . The platforms are both well-balanced and flexible, including every phase of Carolina life . . . There has been more in terest in Student Government than ever before. -Abolishment of class officers is not the way to improve. Instead, we must take the initiative to solve our own problems and try not to dodge our responsibilities." Both freshman and sophomore platforms include regular communi cation between the class and the officers. Harkness also advocates additional study space in every dorm and full support from class officers for the Academic Affairs Committee as it investigates pos sible improvements in freshman courses. Rosental, the sophomore candi date for president, would attempt to set up a Sophomore Day along the line of Senior Day to celebrate the . sophomores leaving General College. Both the presidential candidates have pledged themselves to work harder to over com a. the figurehead conception of class officers.

D ean Long Praises IDC 6 Improvement "This year's Men's Interdormi tory Council bears no resemblance to any in the past," said Dean William Long, assistant dean of Student Affairs. "It has improv ed each year, but this year there has . been a particularly noticeable improvement in its effectiveness." Headed by IDC President Jim Gaulden, the Council has enacted many innovations. Specifically, the monitoring system has been changed so that it is now run on a "Warning Card" basis. WTien some one in the dormitory violates a dorm rule, he is reported to the IDC representative who sends a note to Gaulden. Gaulden then sends the offender a warning card informing him of his violation and warning him of the consequences of any repeated violations. Quiet Signs Quiet hour signs which are bright red on white are posted throughout the dormitories to remind students of the exact hours they are in ef fect and of the penalty which is carried with violation of them. To further explain the programs and functions of the IDC, the Executive Council of the IDC is in the process of visiting the dormi tory meetings of all the men's dormitories on campus where they give talks and answer questions. "The boys in the dorms are co operating very well so far. We hope that they will continue to do so," said Gaulden, who added, "The main thing we're trying to do is to make IDC work the way it ought to work, and to prove that students in dormitories can govern themselves." Old Beanbirds pecked a nest full "Flycatcher" Cella, Jane "Finch" Forsythe, Wayne "White-rumped" Foushee, Paul "Palm Warbler" Jollis; Bob "Broad-breasted'' McCorm ick, Jane "Magpie" Merrit, Char lotte "Mewgull" Mooney, Martha "Prothonotaty" P a r h a m , Judy "Rooster" Ray, Bob "Rough-legged" Reardon, Surry "Red-eyed" Roberts, Dottie "Dipper" Shugart, Ginny "scissor-tailed" Temple, Joe "Hellbender" Webb, and Nancy "Nuthatch" Wilson. The 19 birdlets initiated this morn ing were chosen for this honorary after "soul-searching" deliberation by members of the order. Member ship in the order is based on cer tain intrinsic qualities. These in clude the abilities to: 1) Go out on a limb without fall ing off, even when pushed; 2) perch; 3) give a worthy demon stration of the Beanbird shuffel; 4) twitter-tweet; 5) control their squawks in the air and on the ground; 6) fly alone, even with a broken wing; 7) use their claws to cling to the "strong and sturdy" limbs of wisdom, service, demo cracy, loyalty, humor, beauty, friendship and humility. Fcrrante And Teiclier Come Here Tuesday Graham Memorial Activities Board will present, "Ferrante and Teichcr Flip Their Lids" in Mem orial Hall Tuesday, Nov. 7 at 8 p. m. There will be no charge for UNC students with I.D. cards. Dates will be admitted for $1. Starting at 7:50 p.m., if space permits, the doors will be opened to the faculty and general public for $2. Ferrante and Teicher are best known for their million sellers, "Exodus" and "Theme from the Apartment." The two artists com bine pop classics with show tunes and their own arrangements of such popular composers as Gersh win, Rodgers, Wern and Porter. Through the use of sound effects and special gadgets they have ex tended the tonal range of their Steinway concert grand pianos to "present a new sound in music." Long Commends Dean Long commented: "I want to commend Jim Gaulden for the exceptionally good job he is do ing. He and his organization have helped to remind students of their individual responsibility to disci pline themselves." The activities of the IDC are not confined to law enforcing, but have extended into every realm of dorm itory life. This includes the pro moting of social activities. This semester, the IDC has spon sored combo dances at every home football game and will continue to do so. It has held receptions, spon sored freshman trips to girls' schools and supported a better in tramural program. This year it is paying several intramural manag ers to find out whether this would be a more effective means of get ting stronger sports participation. Distributes Questions Recently the IDC distributed a questionaire to determine how ef fectively its machinery is working. These questionaires, which have been handed out at dormitory meet ings, include the questions about the strength and weaknesses of the organization and also include space for suggestions. At the moment the IDC is in the process of revising its by-laws. There are several sections in them which need to be brought up to date, according to Gaulden. "One of our major objectives." stated Gaulden," is to encourage more participation in dormitory activities so that a close relation ship between dorm men may be established."
