A joint appropriation by the Administration and Student Leg islature of $2500 was used to cov er pipes, tile the floor, improve the lighting and purchase new furniture and drapes. A similar project involving $3000 will be completed within the next three or four weeks in Joyner Hall, according to Car son. "It is significant," Carson said, "that Student Government and the Administration have cooper ated in this area. All we need show now is that the rooms are used and properly cared for. "Top Administration officials fiave stated that they will back residence hall improvement to the limit if these pilot projects prove successful," Carson said. "It is essential," he said, "that the residence halls have adequate facilities to accommodate social programs."

" Miss Mannes described the root of this false doctrine as being "predominantly a fear of econo mic loss." The result is that "most writers have become either exploiters or evadors." She said that modern-day Amer icans were afraid to consider so cial, economic and political sys tems as being possibly acceptable. Irving Howe, author, professor, critic and contributor to many magazines, followed with a de scription of "the new fiction."

Ball By HARRY DeLUNG George Ball, undersecretary of state, will speak at the Carolina Symposium tonight at 8 p.m. The topic will be "Values and the Individual; implications for the individual in a state organiz ed for war." Reports yesterday said there was a possibility that James Reston of the New York Times would accompany Ball, in antici pation of a major speech." Ball, who is the second-ranking State Department official, was appointed by President Ken nedy in November, 1962. Imme diately before, he served as un dersecretary for economic af fairs, and wrote the late presi dent's report on balance of pay ments and the gold drain. .This report exposed to national publicity the serious loss of gold to European nations which form ed a principal part of Kennedy's campaign platform in interna tional affairs. Ball was the State Depart ment's chief spokesman for the sale of U. S. wheat to Russia. In testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, he vigorously defended the exten sion of credit to communist coun tries. The Undersecretary is credited with shaping the major part of U. S. policy towards the Diem regime in South Viet Nam. In January, Ball argued a ma jor reorientation of American foreign aid. He attacked the use of aid as a cold war "weapon," and urged support for undevelop ed nations on a more positive ba sis. Proposing , that foreign aid be directly taken over by the State Department, he stressed the need for more "altruistic motives" in the administration of these funds. Legislature May Delete References To Review Board Student Legislature will con sider an amendment to delete references to the defunct Student Faculty Review Board from the Student Constitution tonight at 8 p.m. in New East. Student members were ousted from the Board last October in the wake of the Ann Carter Case, touching off a vigorous pretest by Student Government officials and President Mike Lawler.

Announce Candidacy Panel Discusses Sciences, Security By KERRY SEPE The effects of National Security and the demands of the state of scientific research were discuss ed yesterday at an afternoon presentation of the Carolina Sym posium by Dr. Harold Orlans and Dr. Paul M. Gross. Gross, of Duke University, presi dent of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, pointed out that the influence of nat-onal politics and public feelr ing in government subsidized re search cannot be denied. "Our pool of basic research funds is heavily depleted by our habit of capitalizing on our funda mental knowledge rather than doing further research," said Gross. "What is called R and D (Re search and Development) money is actually about 90 per cent de velopment and ten per cent re search," he said. Gross said this was due to fear that the public would become alarmed at a tendency to favor military research. . Orlans. of the Senior Staff at the Brookings Institution studying the effects of federal programs on higher education, said that gov ernment subsidy should be deter mined by the ongress and by the need. "Society," he said, "cannot s ' - ' f Paul Gross Thompson. Adler Voice Approval Of Government Support For Arts i By KERRY SIPE An American artist and an American legislator met yester day at the afternoon session of the Carolina Symposium to dis cuss the part that government should play in development of the arts in this country. "I am very much in favor of the government taking an active interest in the development of talent," said New Jersey con gressman Frank Thompson, Jr., . who was chosen for the discussion because of the legislation he in troduced in the House of Repre sentatives authorizing the build ing of the National Cultural Cent er in Washington. "North Carolina is one of the most cultural-minded states in the union," said lyricist, com poser and producer Richard Ad ler in discussion of the issue. "I wish the federal government would imitate what is being done in North Carolina fifty times over." Both the composer and the con gressman were in agreement that the federal government owed a responsibility to the nation's art ists. . . "Eevry artist must have his sustinence, in order to live," said Adler. "It is becoming increasing ly more difficult for him to get it" United Harold Orlans possibly understand the situa tion as well as the government.' Both scientists agreed that Science should accept none of the blame for the necessity to ad vance military strength through research. "Only a very small percentage of the time," said Gross, "does a scientist even realize the appli cability of a project he is work ing on before it is finished, espec ially in the pure sciences." "If we could blame science for discovering bigger and better ways to kill people, then Albert Ein stein would be the biggest vil lian of the century."
