Osteen By J. A. C. DUNN In The Chapel Hill Weekly Rep. William Osteen told the JUNC.. Young Republicans Tuesday night that the redistricting bill passed last week by a special session of the Legislature was good; that the Constitutional amendment also passed in the special session was bad; that young Republicans were good; that one-party government was bad; and that in recent years the people of North Carolina have deserved the kind of representa tion they have gotten. On the redistricting bill, he said: "Not the best, but I think it will pass the test in the Federal courts. "But the Legislature went a step further and passed a Con stitutional amendment." He call ed the "Little Federal" amend ment, to be voted on in a State wide referendum Jan. 14, per haps the Legislature's most in equitable act, and explained its proponents' thinking: "They say, 'This is what we need because it copies the Fed eral Congress.' " The amendment would reduce the present 120-member House of Representatives to 100 mem bers, ono for each county; and increase the present 50-member Senate to 70, distributed by pop ulation. "But the sponsors of the amendment overlooked one thing. The Federal government was not the autonomous gov Telephone Company Ends Beeper Line 'Service' The local phone company has apparently launched a counter attack against students who use tie "beeper line." The "beeper line" has been described thusly: All telephone calls that reach a busy number are channeled into a central circuit where the busy signal is produced. Someone found that conver sations could be carried on be tween callers while the busy signal beeps on endlessly in the background and the num ber of possible connections is (apparently limited only by those patient enough to listen. The result has been a night mare for the phone company HIT AND RUN The Durham Police Depart ment requests the nurse who gave first aid in the hit and run accident on the 15-501 by pass yesterday afternoon to contact Lieutenant Jones or officer Martin at the Durham Police Departments f 1 X t VV - . 1 ernment these advocates would have it be." The original union of 13 states intended the distri bution of representation accord ing to both population and geog raphy to insure reservation of some powers to the states, some powers to the Federal govern ment. The states, sovereign in their own boundaries, surren dered some powers to the Fed eral government, and vice versa. "But the same argument doesn't apply to counties and states because counties are not autonomous. The counties are not entitled to . representation they ought to have it, of course, but they're not entitled to it, because they are not sovereign. They are creatures of the Legislature. They can't sur render some powers to the State government in return for keep ing other powers, because they haven't any powers to surren der." The proposed amendment, said Rep. Osteen, would improve Senate representation, but would harm House representation by eliminating the 20 "floater" rep resentatives. "The result would be that 19 per cent of the population of the State, in the least populated counties, could dominate any legislation in the State." ". . . By and large the people of North Carolina have gotten the kind of representation they de serve, because there is not very much interest in politics." and many of its customers. Beginning early in the even ing, and continuing until about (midnight, dormitory relsidents, fraternity men, coeds and an occasional town resident have jammed the busy signal line with all types of conversation. But, no more. The local phone company has ; installed a special current that comes on when a busy signal is reached. It increases the loudness of the busy signal so that it is impossible to keep the reciever up to the ear with out great discomfort. Chapel Hill telephone mana ger John Cox said that the powerful busy signal would operate only during the night hours and would continue oper ating until the phone company discourages ithe practice. "Students are about the only ones in on this" Cox said. "I guess they ere enjoying it. But too many phones are being tied up and we had to do some thing to stop it' Decision Is Made In Private Meet By PETE WALES Students have been removed from the Student Faculty Review Board, Dr. Gordon Cleveland, chair man of the Faculty Committee on Student Discipline, revealed Tuesday night. The announcement, made before student leaders and members of the three student judicial councils, took the students by complete sur- prise. The Board, created as an ex periment by the faculty commit tee in 1956, handles all cases that are appealed from the Men's and Women's Councils. It was composed of three or more faculty members, along with the President of the Student Body and the chairmen of both the Men's and Women's Councils. Dr. Cleveland said that the Committee's power to make such a decision came from the Univer sity Administration Code approv ed by the trustees in 1957. Final Authority The Code delegates "full and final authority" in matters of student discipline to the chancel lor and faculty. Under the new organization presented by Dr. Cleveland, the following changes are now in effect: (1) The Review Board will be made up of a minimum of three faculty members and no stu dents. ... (2) The chairman of the Facul ty Committee on Discipline will be required to sit on each case. (3) Student representatives will be allowed to observe each case but can not examine wit nesses. (4) Members of the press will be admitted if the defendant does not object. (5) The Dean of Men and all student observers will be dis missed during the deliberation of the case. (6) All requests for appeal will go directly to the Review Board. They have previously been made to the Chancellor who had the power to grant or deny re quests. "The Committee felt that it had responsibility in this area," Dr. Cleveland explained, "and it has come to conclusions, some of them reluctantly. "The Committee tried to con sider every possible aspect of review and to check due process. "It felt that the mere presence of those who had a stake in stu dent government and the Coun cils . . . might be prejudiced for the student. Rights Of Defendants "We are more concerned with the rights of the defendant than with the rights of students to sit on the Board. "It's not a case of the faculty wanting more jurisdiction it's within our jurisdiction but ra ther it's a question of due pro cess for the defendant. "Every member of the Com mittee is deeply committed to the Honor System and Student Government." Both Dr. Cleveland and Dean of Student Affairs C. O. Cathey said the experiment of having a Student-Faculty Review Board was not in itself a failure. "It was a success," Dr. Cleve land said. "But the members of the present faculty committee feel that it should never have been tried. "This Board has been quite effective. In fact some of the faculty have commented that the students are occasionally better than the faculty members. "We hope to restore some of (Continued on Page Three) LIBERAL ARTS James G.

"I can't understand why there was no confrontation of the stu dents in the formulation of this decision," said Mike Lawler, presi dent of the student body. "This was a decision the com mittee felt it had to make it self," Dr. Gordon Cleveland, chairman of the faculty commit tee, told students. "We felt we had to take the re sponsibility. We felt there was sufficient reason to take these steps." Chancellor William B. Aycock said he had not heard that the faculty committee was discuss ing the change until Tuesday morning. "This is entirely the faculty's business. Their decisions in this area don't have to be okayed by either myself or President Fri day." Dr. Cleveland expressed the committee's unwillingness to dis cuss the situation with students because it had already made up its mind. "The committee felt that it knew what it had decided ahead of time and that it would not be quite cricket to have negotia tions when we knew the negotia tions would not be in good faith. "The committee has made its decision without negotiation and within the areas of its own juris diction. "We were very much aware of the fact that there would be some objection to it." Lawler expressed the feelings tf several of the student leaders when he said: "My reaction is a reaction to the process by which the decision has been reached. "The content of the proposal itself should be discussed on the merits of that proposal." Student Body Vice-President Bob Spearman objected to the committee acting in conflict with the Student Constitution. "I am both shocked and alarm ed at what they've done. "The committee has made a decision to abrogate a section of the Student Constitution without a single word of consultation with student officials. "The Student-Faculty Review Board was set up by the faculty committee in 1957 as a joint en terprise. "Now the faculty has just de cided to end this joint enter prise without a word of consul tation with their partners." Dr. Cleveland replied that since the faculty committee had originally set up the joint board under a trial basis, they now had the power to end the experi ment. He questioned the wisdom of the students in writing the Review Board into their Constitution, but he added: "It was done with the knowledge and the apparent good wishes of the committee at that time." Lawler also expressed fear of a trend of similar unilateral de- ( Continued on Pane 3)
