The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has declared the seven cases from six Southern states the most impor tant since the school desegregation ruling of 1954. The states involved are North and South Carolina, Maryland, Louisiana, Alabama and Georgia According to the NAACP, approxi mately 3,000 Negro students and other "sit in' demonstrators have been sentenced under local and state laws as a result of their activities. Jack Greenberg, a New York City attorney, initiated the open court arguments on behalf of seven demonstrators arrested at Durham, N. C. Pressure On Stores Greenberg said the manager of Kress s store was "coerced" into bringing action by the "custom of the community to segregate and discriminate against Negroes." On behalf of North Carolina, Ralph Moody, assistant state attor ney general, said racial segrega tion is not a part of the case. "A person who owns property can exclude the people he wants to exclude for any- reason." he said. "The trespass laws don't pick out any class or group." All nine justices, questioned Greenberg during his presentation. Justice Byron R. White referred to the case record that showed Negroes and whites were served together at a stand-up counter elsewhere in the store. He asked if this did not indicate "they were allowed to follow custom in some areas" but "they were not co erced" to obey custom in all forms. Greenberg acknowledged there was no discrimination at the stand up counter and that mixed service had been commenced at the sit down counter shortly after the ar rests. No State Law Questioning by several justices brought out that the state had claimed before the North Carolina Supreme Court that there was no state law requiring segregation. Council Leaders Support Move Opening Of Trials To DTH Subject To Amendment Vote 7 . ... Whether honor council trials will be open to newspaper reporters will be voted on today as a constitu tional amendment. Council trials at the present are closed to reporters unless a de fendant asks that it be "open." Honor Council Chairman Walter Dellinger recommended recently that the trials be opened to DTH reporters, who would write stories of the trials excluding names. Several student leaders in both the Honor Councils and political parties yesterday stated their views on the amendment. Their statements are as follows: WALTER DELLINGER, CHAIR MAN OF THE MEN'S COUNCIL The proposed amendment to open Honor Council trials to two reporters from the student news paper is the best available an swer to the problem of communica tion between the Honor Councils and the student body. The publishing of depersonal ized accounts (in which no names will be used) of Council proceed ings and decisions will enable every member of the University community to understand and evaluate the standards used by the councils in judging ungentle- manly conduct and dishonorable behavior. I firmly believe that weekly published news stories of action by the Men's and Women's Councils would prove to be an excellent method of reminding students of their obligation . to the Honor Sys tem. "In addition to establishing guarantees as to how an open trial will be conducted, the proposal also retains the right of the student to a 'closed' trial upon his request. BUZZY STUBBS, ATTORNEY GENERAL: "In its present form, I am in favor of the amendment. The cam pus needs to have a greater aware ness of the Honor Council's activi ties and what the council considers a violation of the Honor and Cam pus codes. "However, the student himself is in the best position to evaluate whether or not an open trial is in his interest. This bill adeqately recognizes these dual needs." BEV HAYNES, CHAIRMAN OF WOMEN'S COUNCIL: "I hope that the bill will be passed. I think it would definitely be an improvement for our system. I think this may definitely estab lish a tradition of open trials and instill more student confidence in the Honor System." CHARLES COOPER, CHAIR MAN OF THE JUDICIAL COMMITTEE: open "I unqualifiedly support trials and would urge its passage by the student body in the fall general election in the interest of an open and more democratic ju dicial system. I do not see why anyone should vote against it in its present form." MIKE LAWLER, VICE-PRESIDENT OF THE STUDENT BODY AND FORMER HONOR COUNCIL MEMBER: 'I am in favor .of the proposed constitutional amendment for the following reasons: mean when it talks about the cor rective nature of its proceedings?' "The proposed amendment will not only fulfill this responsibility, but also provides adequate protec tion of individual privacy and for the responsible proceeding , of an open trial." MIKE CHANIN, CHAIRMAN OF THE UP: "In the open society that the University of North Carolina strives to maintain it is important that all of us as students know the workings of our Honor System not only to be sure that it is a fair and just system but also to see that this is a system that does work. "It is also necessary that any student who feels that an open trial .will infringe upon his per sonal well being has the right to ask for a closed trial. "The Constitutional Amendment presented by the Legislature per mits both of these situations. "In addition, the presence of two Tar Heel reporters bound by the Honor Code not to release the de fendant's name except by permis sion guarantees that the proceed ings will be reported in a mature manner.." ROBIN BRITT, CHAIRMAN OF THE STUDENT PARTY: "The proposed constitutional amendment establishing Open Honor Council trials represents one of the most significant steps for ward in the student Judiciary on this campus an a number of years. "(1) Open trials will acquaint Campus Party Heads State Positions Before Election No matter how good our orien- students with the proceedings and tation programs are for freshman general operation of the Honor and transfers, we cannot expect Councils.

"At the same time the rights of a student will be infringed upon " 'How does the Men's Council in no way whatsoever since if he define gentlemanly conduct?' so chooses he may request that his 'What does" the Men's Council trial be closed. "Consequently, Open Trials would enhance the etfficiency of our Honor System while offering a further guarantee of the rights of students. I am confident that I the campus will see the value of Open Trials and vote for the amendment in Tuesday's election." RUFUS EDMINSTON, FLOOR LEADER OF THE SP: MIKE CHANIN, UP The University Party this fall is presenting a slate of experienced and active candidates. Under ex treme competion in our convention competion that produced run-offs in one third of our nominations we have selected two dorm presi dents, two candidates who were elected to class offices last year, and three who were presidents of their high schools last fall. We have not allowed for hand-picked candidates as in the opposite party, where they had eleven out of fif teen chosen by acclamation. This fall we are stressing the fact that our party and candidates repre sent every area of the campus and every aspect of cmpus llife. We want to see better social pro grams for the classes, more peo ple working in class governments, and more emphasis on class aca demic and residential problems. The University Party is moving upward to more active class lead ership and more active class pro grams. The platforms of our three slates have been presented in the Tar Heel. I urge you to study these platforms; to study the candidates who will be fulfilling these plat forms for the University Party; and to study the rational approach to class problems presented by the candidates and the University Far ty. This year is a crucial year for class government; it must show that it functions actively and that it fulfill? the needs of the class. The University Party candidates will make class government work you judge the candidates on what to do, and on their qualifications, and that you vote next Tuesday. And when you do vote, I am sure that you will have judged the can didates and their platforms and realizing the rational approach of the UP candidates, that you will vote for the University Party this fall. Robin Britt, SP Until a few years ago the elec tion of class officers on this cam pus was little more than a glori fied popularity contest. However, recently class offices have begun to make a greater and greater con tribution to the campus and are becoming an integral part of Stu dent Government. Paralleling this rise in impor tance of class offices has been a healthy development in the elec tion of, these positions. The cam pus has ceased to elect candidates cn the basis of popularity and has begun to elect them on their quali fications. In short, students are looking for the real issues that underlie the fall campaign. These are the two points that the Stu dent Party is stressing in this elec tion issues and qualifications. (1) First in regard to qualifica tions, the Student Party candi dates have the experience in Stu dent Government necessary to ful fill the progressive ideas outlined in their platforms and to exert ei fective class leadership, ah ex the IDC, where he was elected to "I think this amendment gives the IDC Court and in turn elected the student body no real choice Clerk of that court.

The purpose of the referendum is to determine student opinion on the proposed raise of $.75. If the referendum is passed, its results will be presented to the adminis tration as proof of the desire of the men's dorms for an increased social fee. The administration will then take action on the matter. Bruce Welch, president of the IDC, gave four main reasons for the passage of the referendum. Under the present social fee, ac cording to Welch, the dorms are overdrawing their accounts and are still not able to provide sufficient social life for their occupants. Welch said that the present so cial fee was adopted in 1949 and inflation and other factors have made this amount inadequate to day. Last year, many dorms had three men to a room. This year with the placing of only two men in most rooms, dorm revenues have been radically reduced, he added. The IDC President said that if the new dorm social fee is passed, there will be no extra assessments in the future, as have been ex perienced by Craige and Ehring- haus this year. Welch said that if the referen dum were passed, the hike would go into effect as soon as the ad ministration took such action. He noted, however, that the increased social fee would not be levied this semester, but would probably be come effective next semester when it would be tacked onto the dorm room rent bill. In conclusion Welsh stated, "I'd like to urge each of the men's dor mitory residents to vote in favor of the proposed social fee increase in order that they may reap the benefits of an improved and ex panded social program." Both campus political party chairmen have voiced their appro- al of the issue. Robin Britt, Student Party chairman said, "Most dorms do not have sufficient funds to pre sent activities necessary for a good dorm program including aca demic projects and especially so cial events. Last year a few dorms did not even have the funds to put out a dorm newspaper. "The problem is acute and the only solution is the proposed raise of the dorm social fees. This is an extremely important issue for the dormitories . The Student Party strongly urges passage of the referendum. Mike Chanin, University Party chairman noted, "The present $.75 dorm fee was passed in 1949 and it is obvious that inflation and the increase in dorm activities has made this fee inadequate. In order for a dorm to have a ew parties, a dorm newspaper, and floats for the various con tests, not to mention intramurals, it is a necessity that this increase be passed. This will double the money available to each dorm and will more than double the activi ties that can be undertaken. I urge all dorm residents to vote tomor row, as I will myself, 'Yes on the IDC referendum to raise social fees."

ID cards or other suitable iden tification will be required of each student before he is given a ballot.

Brown-Nixon Race Going To Wire By United Press Int. Ballots cast by an anticipated 550 million Americans today will go far toward determining the fate of President Kennedy's legislative program in the new Congress. Out of the election also may come the name of the Republican who will oppose Kennedy in the 1964 presi dential campaign. First returns were due early from Hart's Location, the New Hampshire hamlet with the quick count. But it could be 1960 all over again in California where the re sult of the governor's battle be tween Richard M. Nixon and Ed mund G. Brown may not be known until late Wednesday. At stake were all 435 seats in the U. S. House of Representatives, 39 U. S. Senate seats, and local of fices. National interest centered on the head-to-head battles between Brown and Nixon in California; Gov. Nel son A. Rockefeller and Robert M iMorgenthau in New York; George Romney and Democratic Gov. John B. Swainscn in Michigan, and be tween the President's brother, Ed ward M. Kennedy and Republican George Cabot Lodge in the Mass achusetts senatorial race. On election eve, a non-partisan poll showed Brown leading Nixon, Rockefeller was heavily favored ov er Morgenthau, Republicans had high hopes for a Romney victory and Democrats were equally high on young Kennedy's chance; against Lodge. In one sense, the year's elec tion was a battle for the House of Representatives. Republicans once talked of winning control of the House but have shied away from such predictions in recent days They were still favored to register a mall House gam, out consiaer ablv short of the 44 seats they need to control. The present House line up is 261 Democrats to 174 Repub licans. The Democrats hold a 64 to 33 maiorit yi nthe Senate and the Ke publicans will be hard put to -Vtanrp that maxsin. Some Demo crats" even talked cf perhaps pick ing up a couple of Senate seats, a rarity for the majority party in a non-presidential ; election year.
