Members of the Sigma Phi Epsi
Ion fraternity moved last week into
their newly constructed house for
which they have been waiting for
the past eight years. Zoning regu
lations and lack of money largely
accounted for the delay.
Construction on the West Cam
eron Avenue house, which accom
modates 29 men, began last Feb
ruary, and is almost completed.
Cost on the red brick structure
was approximately $50,000. . .
A unique fact concerning the
house is that it was built on its old
foundation and still retains its origi
nal floor plan and ivy-covered chim
ney.

Ole Miss Students
Silent On Barnett
By MIKE PUTZEL,
Students at "Ole Miss" were
close-mouthed yesterday about the
present battle over James Mere
dith's admission to the University.
The DTH contacted two student
eaders in telephone interviews to
etermine what the students are do
ing or saying in connection with the
Meredith incident.
According to information received
from student leaders, the primary
concern of the students at present
is the possibility the school might
close or lose its present standing
as an accredite school in its region.
Neither student contacted would
make a public statements on how
the "Ole Miss" students feel about
Gov. Ross Barnett's action to keep
a Negro from registering at the
University of Mississippi.
Asked what was happening on
campus, one student said, "Nothing.
That is, nothing can be seen from
campus right now. The State
Troopers are out at the gates, but
the gates can't be seen from here.
As far as our opinion on the matter
goes, we feel that this is strictly a
political matter to be handled by
the state officials, and we have no
authority to speak on how the stu
dents feel."
The DTH asked if any students
had taken any action either in sup
port or in opposition to Gov. Bar
nett. One student government of
hcial said, there has been no
organized action on campus, and
Perpetual motion, mosement
which once started continues for
ever with no further energy sup
ply, has long been listed by sci
entists as one of the world's
"impossibles."
Physicists here, however, are
experimenting with a scientific
phenomenon that could be class
ed as a form of perpetual mo
tion: "superconductivity."
It occurs in certain metals
when they are cooled to only a
few degrees above Absolute Zero,
which is -453.6 degrees Fahren
heit. Dr. Charles V. Briscoe, UNC
Assistant Professor of Physics,
has been investigating "super
conducavity" for nearly four
years.
Lack of Resistance

fined as the ability of certain

there have boon no public state
ments by students other than the
usual discussion among friends."
Another student said, "There has
been only one demonstration, and
that was caused by outsiders com
ing on campus. I don't think there
were any students other than fresh
men involved."
Special Session
Petition Passed
A petition to call a special ses
sion of the Student Legislature is
being circulated by several legisla
tors, in an effort to bring some im
mediate action upon the resolution
supporting James Meredith's at
tempts to enroll in the University
of Mississippi.
The special session, if called,
will meet on October first. In an
effort to "have discussion while
the issue is relevant, we must act
now, if we intend to act at all" the
petition states. The petition must
have fifteen signatures according
to the By-Laws of the Constitution.
It will be presented to Speaker
of the Legislature, Mike Lawler. It
is expected that the fifteen signa
tures will be acquired readily.
The text of the petition follows:
metals when very cold to pass
an electric current with no re
sistance at all. Electrical resis
stance in ordinary metals quickly
saps the energy of electricity
passing through them and event
ually brings the current to a halt.
But, currents in small rings of
superconductive metals have been
kept running for more than two
years with no loss of energy and
would probably go on forever.
Dr.Briscoe's investigations con
cern the reaction of supercon
ductive strips of metal to elec
tric currents with frequencies in
the 10 to 100 Kilo Megacycle
range. These are frequencies 100
to l,noo times higher than those
broadcast by an ordinary FM
television transmitter.
The metal he is using is tin, in
sheets only about 50 atoms thick.
These sheets are thin enough, to

Be Admitted
The text of telegrams supporting
James Meredith's efforts to enter
the University of Mississippi were
released today. Those signing the
messages were student body Presi
dent Inman Allen, Vice President
Mike Lawler, and National Student
Association Coordinator Harry De-
Lung.
To President Kennedy:
'As students of the University of
North Carolina, we wish to express
our confidence in your enforcement
of federal law at the University of
Mississippi. We support James
Meredith's efforts to gain admis
sion, and urge that the decision of
the 5th district Court of Appeals be
upheld, by the use of troops if nec
essary." To the President of the student
government of "Ole Miss":
'The voice of your student govern
ment can and should be a signifi
cant force in the present crisis fac
ing your university. I urge you to
stand up against the intervention of
state officials, and support the de
cision of the 5th district Court of
Appeals in the admission of James
Meredith. The Greatness of "Ole
Miss" can better be upheld by a
victory over violence and hate than
a defeat before federal troops."
To James Meredith:
'As students at the University of
North Carolina, we support your
efforts to enter the University of
Mississippi. Your courage in the
face Of bigotry, disregard for law,
and frustration has been an inspira
tion for all students. We have con
fidence that the U.S. Constitution
will be upheld and your admittance
will be a milestone in the struggle
for human equality."

Practical Application
Superconductivity offers some
interesting possibilities for prac
tical application outside the lab
oratory. It may prove useful for
electronic computers in satellites
where compactness and minirniim
current use is desirable. The in

that superconductivity may some

Robert F. Goheen is the sixteenth
president of Princeton University.
He is a classicist who insists that
"liberal education is, in a most es

tainly not a luxury item which a
free society can afford to surren
der or even dilute." He succeeded
Dr. Harold W. Dodds in 1957. Presi

Princeton in 1940.
He is 43 years of age, once di
rected the Woodrow Wilson Fellow
ship program, was a Professor of
Classics prior to his induction. He
was born in India, the son of Pres
byterian missionaries.
He was a member of Phi Beta

after the phenomena was first

is based on the highly complex
field of "quantum physics" which
holds that energy comes in tiny

The theory still leaves many
questions unanswered and needs
extensive refinements. Answering
some of these questions is the
object of Dr. Briscoe's research.
Atomic Vibrations.
The theory explains the phe

Three Prof essors
Of History Named
Three new professors, hailing
from Czechoslovakia, China and
Wilmington, N. C, have been
named to the faculty of the Dept.
of History.
The three new faculty members,
all assistant professors, are Drs.
Yi Chu WTang, Josef Anderle, and
Frederick Behrends.
Wang was a Visiting Associate
Professor of History at the Univer
sity of Kansas list Spring and be
fore that was on the faculty of the
University of Chicago. He has also

at Dickinson College and elsewhere.

cause the energy lost through re
sistance is released as heat. All
power companies allow for a cer
tain amount of energy waste
along powerlines because of this
heat transfer.
The atom vibrations which give
rise to resistance can be reduced
by lowering the temperature.
The colder the metal, the less
the resistance. Thus, power com
panies can actually operate
cheaper on a cold winter day
than a hot summer one.
This explains something, but
net all, about superconductivity.
A steady loss of resistance with
increasing cold would be expected
in meals. The unexpected is that
at a certain very cold tempera
ture, which varies slightly for
different metals, the pattern of
slow loss is broken and all re
sistance is suddently lost.

Minimum Energy
The "quantum theory" explains
this by stating that when atoms
have been reduced to their last
"quanta" of energy by tempera
ture reduction, they have no
energy left to spare for interfer
ence with electric currents.
It has even been suggested that
this last bit of atomic vibration
may speed the electronis in the
current on their way, aiding them
to overcome any other obstacles
in their path.
Although Dr. Briscoe has con
fined his experiments to tin,
many other metals and alloys
can be made superconductive. A
strange fact is that metals which
are good conductors at room
temperature, such as copper and
silver, have not been found to be
superconductors even at the low
est temperatures obtainable.

Federal Forces
Still Waiting
For Move Order
OXFORD, Miss. (UPI) Eight
(federal judges and 700 U.S. mar
shals closed in on Gov. Ross Bar
nett from two sides Friday but
the rebellious governor stood stead
fast in his vow that Negro James
Meredith shall not enter the Uni
versity of Mississippi.
Barnett again defied the judges
who earlier had cited him for con
tempt, by refusing to appear be
I fore them in a contempt proceeding
Friday in New Orleans. The hear
ing went on without him and it ap
peared likely he would be held in
contempt for ignoring federal court
orders to admit Meredith to the
school.
The marshals, backed by 110
Army engineers, moved to within
80 miles on the campus just across
the state line in Memphis, Tenn.
They were prepared to act on a
moment's notice should the govern
ment decide to use force to get
Meredith onto the campus.
Attempt Expected Monday
However, all indications were
I that the government would wait un
til Monday before again attempting
to take Meredith into "Ole Miss."
The campus and the town of Ox
ford were quiet Friday. For the
first time in a week heavy concen
trations of police officers were no
where in sight and students and
townfolks went normally about their
I business on the bright, fall day.
But under the facade of calm
'were deep tensions.

When the hearing opened at 11
a.m. CST 2 p.m. EDT in the federal
building, the courtroom was jam-
med but the crowd was orderly.
The eight federal judges sat on the
bench in their black robes. U. S.

"The government has suggested a

"The appelant Meredith does not

would be taken up in Missippi to
pay the fine."
Although he was not present him

"Is there a respondent present

There was a silence. Then Satter
