Budget Revision Eases School Financial Crisis By GARRY BLANCHARD The Orange County Board of Commissioners today averted an imminent financial crisis in the Chapel Hill school system by un animously approving a budget re vision based mainly on teacher salary supplement cuts. The action wiped out an antici pated school board operating de ficit of nearly $27,000. Under state law, indvidual board members could have been held personally liable for the shortage. School board chairman Dr. Kempton Jones told the commis sioners the revision not only as sures a balanced budget, it also will result with one exception in the board being able to meet all its financial obligations for the remainder of the fiscal year. The exception, he said, is a flat $200 across-the-board cut in teach er's salary supplements, including that of school superintendent Dr. Joseph Johnston. But, Jones added, every effort will be made to restore the cuts from the revised budget's expand ed contingency fund and from any other funds which become avail able, including any in the next year's budget. To- further balance its budget, Jones said, the board decided to release five pregnant teachers for whom replacements will not be hired, and made minor reductions in other areas, which had already been trimmed. Senate Vetoes College Aid Bill Religious Item WASHINGTON (UPD The Senate eliminated one item of re ligious controversy from President Kennedy's college aid bill Mon day by voting to limit the assist ance to purely educational, non sectarian facilities. Another such . issue remained, however: A proposed amendment which would deny loans of any kind to private or church schools. Its sponsor, Sen. Sam Ervin, Jr., (p-N.C.) indicated he would press for a separate vote on this. The earlier amendment, ap proved by voice vote, would al low private or church-supported schools to receive funds, but only if they -were-used for -strictly non religious purposes. 1 I ...---.,.-- - - ..--,.,.-....,.......,,,,.- - , . . . i- i .- - I" - ' i - - i " m nini- ML.m m x I, , 1 , , , , , m , t ,L L H .,,-, , , .., . . ltMiM.iiW..il WIJlfWMttlWW Mf m " 1 " Junior Class Officers Bob Reardon, Richard Vinroot and Beth Walker here sign a contract with Doug Clark, leader of the Hot Nuts combo, for the Junior Class comba party at the American Capital Seminar Forms Available Applications are still open for the YM-YWCA's Washington sem inar and may be filled out at the YMCA office today and Wednes day.

The new data processing machin es at Hanes Hall are faster, neat er, more accurate, and more flexi ble than the human hand. Given a little experience and some good luck, the computors will also be brave, clean, loyal, cheerful and friendly. Meanwhile, the IBM machines busy themselves from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. by tabulating fall semes ter grades setting up spring semes ter class rolls, sorting cards for drop-add, and doing all this with a speed that makes folks look . hu man. Fall Grades The first grades for the fall se mester began arriving from in structor's offices at around 1:00 p.m. Saturday. By mid-afternoon of Monday, Feb. 5 the tabulations were complete: a job done in 15 hours by IBM which once took two weeks by hand. This is the first full semester's work for the machines, a semester that is costing UNC $2,000 a month for the rental of the data proces sors. The computors are rented from IBM and arc serviced by IBM technicians. But the cost is well worth it, according to John Greene of the processing center.

The trial for the honor code of fense was held Tuesday, Jan. 30, during the semester break. The full council of 14 including Chairman George Campbell was present for the open trial. Junior Mike Lawler, a member of the Honor Council, had disquali fied himself from the council to act as the sophomore's defense at torney. The sentence of probation forbids the student to represent the Univer sity in any capacity, belong to any activity or student organization, or to participate in intramural sports. The sophomore pleaded guilty but asked the council for clemency. A representative of the attorney general's staff read a statement by a telephone official which said that on January 20, the sophomore plac ed a long distance call to Cam bridge, Mass. Wrong Number According to the statement, the operator checked the Washington, D. C. number to which the call was charged and told the student he had given her a wrong number. The student admitted that he then began an "extended bluff," giving fictitious names for his parents m Washington. After some time, the operator, at the student's request, charged the call to the party in Cambridge. A few minutes later a representative of the telephone company drove a truck to the house from where the call was placed and called the resi dence by phone. The sophomore testified he then admitted making the call and ask ed the official not to report the of fense. The student told the council that two days later Dean of Student Af fairs William Long called him to his office and told him the tele phone company had reported the incident. The student said he then turned himself in to the attorney general. The statement of the telephone company reported the operator as saying the sophomore said some thing about "I've done it again." In answer to a question about this from the council, the sophomore said it referred to a joke about the number of long distance phone calls that he made. As A 'Prank j The student contended the call was placed on the "spur of the mo- UNC Debaters Place Eleventh The UNC debate team placed eleventh in a field of thirty-eight teams in the Johns Hopkins Tournament at Baltimore during the weekend of Feb. 3rd.

Larkin Kirkman, a 1963 grad uate of UNC, has been appointed the UNC scholar to the U. of Chicago Law School, Dean Charles Henderson announced yesterday. While at Carolina Kirkman was a member of the freshman honors program and a member of Phi Eta Sigma, the Grail and the Gold en Fleece. He is now studying his tory at Goettingen University in Germany, iuo H1MC1 ment" and as a "prank!" In his statement, he said the call was not premeditated nor made with a ma licious intent, and therefore, he "did not think of my action as an honor code violation." In answer to a council question, he said he would not have volun tarily turned himself in. Over a dozen written character statements and four character wit nesses were presented by the de fense. In summation Lawler asked the council to consider four points: (1) The student did give his name and accept responsibility for the call. 42) The call was placed as a "lark", a "prank". (3) There was no evidence of previous attempts to defraud the company. (4) The entire past conduct of the student, according to the char acter witnesses had been "respon sible". Lawler also brought out the small charge for the call. (The stu dent testified the call cost "less than $2.") After about 20 minutes of delib eration the council returned the verdict of guilty and the sentence of indefinite probation. The council chairman reminded the student of the right to appeal and that he could apply at any time for removal from probation. WORLD NEWS BRIEFS By United Press International Cuban Missiles Foreseen WASHINGTON U. S. officials eaid Monday Fidel Castro may soon have ballistic missiles capable of hitting targets in the United States. This first official confirmation of apparent Cuban preparations for a rocket capability was contained in a recently declassified Defense and State Department estimate of Cuba's Soviet-supplied arms build up. The report also said Castro has 50 to 100 jet fighters, and there are indications he is preparing to receive Soviet jet bombers as well as the rockets. There have been unconfirmed reports from Cuba for some time that three mountains were secretly being excavated by Cuban troops. The mountains are near the Havana suburb of Marianao, in Pinar del Rio Province and in Matanzas Province. The speculation was that they were being dug out to house mis siles installations. Security Tightened For Kennedy TOKYO Police tightened security measures Monday for U. S. Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy's appearance at Wascda Univer sity after two student groups scuffled over a sign denouncing the visit or's brother President Kennedy as a "plotter of oppression." The precautionary measures came after a day in which Kennedy met with Japanese officials and strolled in the streets of Tokyo vir tually unguarded. The security guard was strengthened for Kennedy's scheduled speech at the university, one of Japan's largest private schools, after a flare up between leftist and middle-of-the-road student groups on the campus. A large sign denouncing President Kennedy as the "plot ter of oppression of the Cuban and Korean people" was put up by the leftists on the Wascda campus. DeGaulle Laslies OAS PARIS President Charles de Gaulle threatened on Monday night to resume dictatorial powers to crush the outlawed Secret Army Organization OAS so he can restore peace "very soon" to an inde pendent Algeria. The OAS, denounced by De Gaulle as a"subvcrsive and criminal enterprise," forced the statcrun radio-television station in Oran off the air by a dramatic kidnaping Monday night and prevented broad cast of the speech. The OAS substituted an eight-minute pirate broad cast instead. De Gaulle's tensely awaited radio-television address to the French nation did not announce a cease-fire agreement with the Moslem reb els but he expressed "the positive hope" an agreement will be reach ed very soon making Algeria an independent nation with close ties with France. Indonesian Teens Protect Permits JAKARTA, Indonesia A mob of teen-aged Indonesians on Mon day smashed windows in the U. ?. Embassy, injuring an American woman employe, in protest against landing permits at American air fields granted by the U. S. government to Dutch . troop-carrying planes. The mob of about 100 included a number of students believed to be members of a Communist-dominated student organization. The howling youths smashed windows with stones and bamboo spears, ripped dpwn the embassy plaque and bung a huge sign on the fence reading: , "America xnwJk. be rubbed out." ' ' emteiices Cxaim Period Two Are Found To Be Innocent Four students were put on indefinite probation, two stu dents were found innocent and one case was continued by the Men's Council during the recent exam period. Attorney General Al Cronenberg said there had been twice as many Honor Council cases during last year's spring exam period than there were this year. This exam period the attorney general's office was open for six hours each day so cases could be reported. Last spring the office was not open. The council put a student on probation for "ungentlemanly con duct," in violation of the Campus Code, while on the campus of Woman's College in Greensboro. He had been turned in by the dean of students at WC. Two students were put on inde finite probation for cheating on religion and mathematics exams, respectively. Each had pleaded guilty and had reported himself. The council found two students accused of cheating on a Spanish final, not guilty. The department had turned them in. A student pleaded guilty to charging a long-distance phone call to a fictitious number and was given indefinite probation. He had reported himself. Another student accused of cheating on a religion exam pleaded innocent. His case has been continued. Extentuating circumstances are responsible for different sentences awarded for similar actions, said an Honor Council spokesman. mm r, Charles DeGaullt According to council regulations the names of persons involved in Council trials may not be used without the person's permission. Student Housing Policy Statement Is Issued By BILL WUAMETT A statement of "policies and procedures" for the assignment of married student housing has been issued by the Housing Office in an attempt to insure that "married students are assigned to the hous ing for which they are eligible as equitably as possible." "We are under pressure," Dean of Student Affairs Charles Hender son said, "not only to keep the occupants happy, but also to keep the housing filled at maximum capacity." The statement lists in detail the system by which students are as signed to a priority list for Univer sity housing, There are now about 200 persons on the waiting list for occupancy in the 530 units be ing used. Housing Director James Wadsworth estimated the average waiting period to be between one and two semesters. Priority List On May 1 and Sept. 1 graduate and professional students are mov ed in order to the top of the list. Undergraduate applicants are then added to the bottom of this list. An application is not added to the list until the student is actually married. "We've been left waiting at the altar several times ourselv es," Dean Henderson commented. Applications are not accepted un til they are certified by the ap plicant's academic dean and a $23 deposit is made. There are nine different classes of apartments with rents ranging from $15 to $77. Students must specifically apply for one of these types. If a vacancy of the specified type is rejected by the applicant, he is dropped to the bottom of the priority list. If a student cannot occupy the vacant housing immediately be cause of an existing lease in Chap el Hill or other reasonable cause, he is allowed to reserve the apart ment for three months by paying half rent. Cooperation With Realtors "We try to cooperate with the Chapel Hill realtors," Dean Hen derson said. "We don't want stu dents to try to break their present leases by dishonest means in or der to move into the cheaper Uni versity housing." Dean Henderson stated that S3 to 92 new units are now in the planning stage. Bids are expected to be opened on April 1 and it is estimated that the new units will be completed by June of 1963. Six 2-slory barracks which arc now condemned will be torn down; four will be demolished this June and the other two will be torn down upon completion of the new units.
