A special copy of the resolution will be sent by air mail to Ursted Jo jannek, president of the Norway Fishing Bureau. The bill was introduced by Ar thur McLach, Student Party repre sentative from Dorm Men's I. Mc Lach said that on such an import ant: international issue as this one, with the lives of all the herring in the North Atlantic at stake, the legislature could not fail to take action. The special session was called by vice-president Goonlik Marx af ter he heard of McLach's proposal. The resolution states that the UNC student legislature recognizes the significance of the tremendous catch by the Norwegian fishermen this l season, and sets it as an example for other fish-hungry countries to follow. Figures on the exact size of the catch were unavailable, but McLach reported that. Time Magazine had called it a very good one. Despite the insistence of Mc Lach and several other Student Party leaders, the bill did not pass without a heated floor fight. Uni versity Party representatives ar gued that it was not the duty of the legislature to make such reso lutions no matter what their im portance. "This will become such an everyday thing, that before long we' will be passing resolutions on such unimportant matters as vot ing ages, income tax evasion by professors, atomic testing, and the European Common Market," said UP floor leader Solly Spears. "When the matter came to a vote, the UP representative from Frat Rat II moved the bill be tabled But his motion was ruled out of order by Parliamentarian Ron Jab belL : (Continued on Page Six) mm :X:S55s;:;;3 l 4 if ,... .

They are helping to avoid congestion by slurping their beans and guz zling their water to get out as soon as possible. ' Photo by Steichen Lenoir Hall Speeds Up Serving Of Customers Lenoir Hall yesterday introduced a hew method to relieve congestion in - the lines where hundreds of starving students wait to eat every day. Burns Hamburger, manager of the dining hall, said that students will not have to go through the long waiting lines any more in order to be served. "We have also gotten rid of the student special," he revealed. "From now on, our customers will not have to select which meat they want to' eat. The choice has al ready been made. We will only be serving beans at every meal." Hamburger said that the new plan had worked very well at both meals at which it was tried yes terday. "We even cut prices to 30 cents for a meal," he said. "We could still make a profit by serv ing customers water instead of iced, tea." The manager said that the new pjaa worked ia this way: Arboretum To Be UNC Parking Lot Universiy Grounds Director Os wald Overby yesterdtfy. announced plans to convert Ooker Arboretum into a parking lot. Bulldozer work on the site will begin late this week, he announced, in order, to give campus botanists and amours a final chance to make use of the wooded area. Overby said that the plan to unroot the ancient trees and plants and coeds in the Arboretum had been reached only after all other possibilities for parking spaces had been exhausted. 'We may even have to blacktop the area be tween South Building and the li brary," he said, "in order to find space for the extra 5,000 cars we expect next year. Silent Sam will probably be moved from Polk place and replaced with a giant parking meter." Plans for a changeover at the Arboretum met with an immediate disapproval over campus. IDC president Horst Iilman chareed that the move was "a cheap trick by the administration to take away our happy hunting grounds. Is it the dorm man's fault that there aren't enough parking places on campus? It 23 Fraternities Move To By BILL WOMBATT Twenty-three of UNC's twenty four social fraternities .disbanded yesterday in a move that drew praise from the administration and other campus groups, and biting criticism from the NAACP and Barry Goldwater. The ex-fraternity men plan to devote themselves to "academic excellence," IFC chairman Inman Sevier announced yesterday, and 4 y i i 1 rrd' i'i t w 4. v "When students came into the building, whether to buy a paper or for any other reason, they were not allowed to leave without pay ing their 30 cents. The only way for them to get their money's worth was to eat lunch." The tables for four were scrap ped, and long boards were laid down for tables, "so that we could serve more people," the manager explained. When the customers were seated, they were served banquet style, but with only one course," he said. The plan worked well. Ham burger said. There was very little congestion for the first meal, and by the time customers caught on :o the idea, they complained "very little. The best part was that there weren't a lot of grad students sit ting around and drinking coffee after they finished eating," he said. There was absolutely no con gesuon for the second meal. - No body came hack asaia. . . . would have been a better idea to tear down the Deke house if they needed a parking lot." JOverby explained that the Coker Arboretum will not be needed next year when the new Hunt Arbore tum is opened. His reply drew a sudden blast from the presidents of Spencer and Mclver Dormi tories and their Woman's Council representatives. "How are we going to be helped by an arboretum two miles away?" queried Janice Flyce, Spencer president. "How can we girls, who have become avid nature lovers because we have had yon arbore tum in our back yard, make out when it is gone?" Local photographers and squirrel Wallace, Daily Tar Heel lensman, lovers also protested the plan. Jim complained that his prime shoot ing area would be destroyed. After hearing complaints and re ceiving a signed petition from the residents of the four largest wom en's dormitories, Overby said that the change to a parking lot would still go through, but would be slightly changed. (Continued on page 8) Disband want to "put an end to our frivol ous ways." The PiKA house was the only fraternity which refused to . dis band as a spokesman for the house, Jakie Lohr, said, "We like to party and don't care who knows it. We shall fight on the band stand, in the bedroom and under the bar. We shall never give up." Senator Barry Goldwater scored the move, as he appeared on the Senate floor dressed in mourning. "I must make an announcement of great sadness," he told the auguest body, "The University of North Carolina has finally succumbed to the infiltration of communism. The death of the fraternity system marks the end of the democratic process at that once-great southern institution." The move was attacked from another quarter today by Leroy Wilkinson, secretary of the NAACP. "It's a dirty racist trick," he said in a prepared press statement. "They know they can't disband. It's just like a bus station closing its waiting room. They can't close; they must integrate. We'll fight this in every court in the land." Dean George Long, spokesman for the administration, praised the move by saying, "I'm glad the fraternities have finally realized that the 'Gentleman's C is no longer good enough. We feel that this action will make it much easi er for the campus to achieve the C plus average that is the mark of academic excellence." The administration, he stated, "has tried to guide the fraternities toward this move by the recent establishment of the 80 per cent and deferred rush rules." ' The IFC head thanked the ad ministration by saying, "Their loving guidance, and especially the establishment of the 80 per cent rule at our request, have shown us the error of our ways. On to brotherhood and BA." The New Left Club was one of many campus groups to praise the fraternities' action. Nick King, president of the club, said "I want to welcome the fraternity men to the true brotherhood of man. It is very gratifying to see another group realize that only , by giving away ther privileges can they hope to attain them. ""We arc hoping to acquire one of the vacated houses for use as a home for wayward (Albanians." One campus group, however, censored the move. The Student Legislature passed a unanimous resolution conderrining the action on the grounds that student govern ment had not been contacted first. "These people must learn to work within student government," cne legislator said. "Their unannounc ed action has completely unbalanc ed our budget." Racial Troubles Solved At UNC, Friday Reveals Carolina Riders To Have More Freedom President William A. Friday an nounced yesterday, that 'the long standing "racial problems at UNC had finally come to an-end. "I. think. that: we will be able to win every race next season, with out any trouble,'' said Friday, who had been under alumni pressure after the-' Carolina drag racing team finished its second straight season without a victory. After making this announcement, Friday uncovered the new 595 horsepower . engine . that had been constructed ior the UNC dragster. The engine,, painted a shining Caro lina Blue and with silver covers for its carbuerators, was construct ed by 400 . physics majors, all of whom are attending Carolina on drag-racing scholarships. "This magnificent engine was built completely according to NC DRA (National Collegiate Drag Racing Associaton) regulations, said Friday, dispelling any fear that the new UNC powerhouse would not stand up to qualifica tions. The Tar Heel dragsters were placed on NCDRA probation two years ago for using spark plugs which were built in a New York factory. Regulations demand that all parts of the dragster be built by amateurs, although unlimited dragster scholarships are allowed. The new engine, which dragster coach John Blickey predicted would be in for All-America recog nition next year, stands three feet, four inches tall. In this category, it is two inches shorter than that used in the University of Virginia Clutchstomper wagon, which placed first in the ACC (Atlantic Cluch Conference, no coasting allowed) last season. The engine weighs 888 pounds, and according to NCDRA regula tions, has a special safety feature of double-enforced exhaust tubes, which are not found in professional drag engines. Coach Blickey indicated that the engine would be given its first track tryout in a special alumni match last week. Also competing will be the 1929 Tar Wheel dragster, the last one to win the ACC Champion ship. (Continued on Page Seven) "si' ' y I - $ , -, v immmmmmi UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT William T.

After Editor Wayne King tried repeatedly to come up with some, way to prove the fairness of the paper star ad vertising man Chuck- Oberdorfer perform Eighteen i Guilty, Sentenced Eighteen ' dormitory '. residents were sentenced Friday night in a two-hour session of the IDC court. It was the heaviest docket of the year, according to Jim Maudlin, IDC president. One student, a resident of ' first floor Avery; , was suspended from school indefinitely for not keeping cookies in a closed" container. He appealed immediately to Bean Dong, assistant purveyor of the campus scene, for a reversal of the decision. Dong announced late yesterday that after reviewing the case, he was "inclined to support the court. After all, dormitory rules specific ally state that all food must be kept in TIGHTLY SEALED CON TAINERS. We cannot. have such flagrant offenses go unpunished. The defendant has a past record f ' , , i 4 i X A. t I.;-: ..r... t Dorm Men Found of keeping empty bottles in his room and using tape on his doer, and it appears that he is a habitual offender." A second student, who lived in Mangum Dorm, was restricted from living in a dormitory for the next year for keeping an electrical appliance in his room. Maudlin explained that the boy, who seem ed to have no respect for univer sity rules, had kept a coffeepot hidden in his closet. "He was just waiting for the time when the dorm manager wasn't aaund, so that he could' plug it in." , Two students . defaulted their room deposits for next semester and were forced to leave Winston Dorm for conspiring to start a snowball . fight ' with Alexander.

After rolling his own, and taking a few deep puffs, Oberdorfer reported that the paper is "exciting, and really mild." How ever, King was still trying to show that the paper could be enjoyed without being burned. (Photo by Hayashi Zalk) By IDC Rosencranz, who said that they had maliciously planned an all out war between the two dorms. "It was supposed to last for two full days, April 6-7," said Rosencranz, "but I found out about it and tried to talk the boys out of it. When they wouldn't admit their fiendish plot, I turned them over to the IDC. In other action, 15 residents of Lewis Dorm were given unofficial reprimands and were moved into Ruffin after they set fire to the lower quad and burned down Gra ham and Stacy Dorms. "If this action doesn't stop," Maudlin said, "we may have to pass some kind of regulation against it." Clodfellow Says Chez Hickory Is Ridiculous Clan Chez Hickory, well known cam pus journalistic outpost, was brought under fire yesterday by Jim Clodfellow, president of the UNC chapter of the INJRCCC. Clodfellow charged that, "Chez Hickory is an organization dedicat ed to the ridiculous principle that majority groups may sometimes be right." Clodfellow stated that a full-scale investigation will be forthcoming.

The Doesn't Like 80 Rule, He Tells Faculty Chancellor William B. Aycock yesterday revealed the first stage in a long range plan for the better ment of student-faculty relations at the University of North Carolina. "In the oast, there has olten been an unnecessary amount of tension between the students and the administration," said AycocK in an exclusive interview with the Dailv Tar Heel. "I have proposed a program to do something about this situation. "I realize that the problem here at South Building has grown cut of hand. Upon close consideration, and after weighing all the factors, I have decided that the 80 rule and the Honor System are at fault. It has come to my attention that certain persons under our employ ment may be in the wrong jobs, and therefore I have taken it upon myself to see that they are re placed." The chancellor said that he had conferred with President William A. Friday and with Governor Ter ry Sanford, and they had agreed with him completely. The rulings will go into effect as soon as they are approved by the Board of Trus tees, which has called an emer gency meeting for Monday after noon at 3 o'clock. 80 Rule Abolished Aycock said that the first step would be to abolish the 80 rule. He explained this rule as follows: Because of all the trouble that exists between students and teach ers, we have a rule to protect the well being of the teacher. This rule stipulates that no teacher can teach in this university more than 80 of any three year period. We have found that it endangers the mentality of any professor to have to remain in Chapel Hill more than 80 of the time. This figure may be considerably smaller for the students, but we are not con cerned with that at this time." "Therefore," the Chancellor con tinued "we are planning to abol ish this 80 rule. In the future, we will stipulate that no professor can be in Chapel Hill more than 75 of any year. This rule will be known as the '75 rule'." Honor System Killed The chancellor said that the change in policy had forced him to abolish the honor system. "Un der this system, we left it up to each professor to discipline him self. Now we will be forced to keep our own records. Wc have found that since most professors don't realize the dangers of stay ing in Chapel Hill, the Honor Sys tem docs not work," he explained. "Long Leaves will work here," he said. "They have already shown that, in the ability to keep the faculty sane." Aycock also released a list of prominent faculty members who had been asked to leave. Included are the following professors, in cluding some who have been here. (Continued on Page Three) purpose of the meeting will be to plan a stew dinner for next week.
