The new directory is bound* in a light grey cover and con tains 176 action-packed pages, 29 more than last year’s directory, j A new blue section of University numbers is sandwiched between the white pages of individual list ings and the yellow commercial pages. The new University telephone system, recently installed by the Chapel Hill Telephone Company, is called a PABX < Private Auto matic Branch Exchange) sys tem. Another name tor the sys tem is Centrex. Centrex gives the University a full time telephone operator, just as Memorial Hospital has; a redesigned directory with all UNC numbers listed separately; 5-digit campus-to-campus dialing (only between numbers prefixed 933); and a separate identity for direct distance dialing and long distance calls, enabling transfer of such operator-handled calls from one campus number to an other. Station and switching equip ment for the Centrex system hag, been in the process of installa tion by the Chapel Hill Telephone Co. and representatives of Auto matic Electric Co. during the past several months. The University’s own switch board operator will go on duty at midnight next Sunday at the Telephone Exchange on Rose ® Street. There are switch positions for four Univer sity operators, and the Univer sity’* board will be manned by at least one operator 24 hours a ftp. 3«5 days a year, from next Sunday on. Instructions for using the Cen trex system are given on page 2 of die blue sections. It is not a difficult system to use. I Ip the rest of the directory, £hj|nges ihave been made. The “Numbers Frequently Called” page of blank blues has been |Dtfved from the white section to «)e bade of the yellow pages. The perspective diagram of the University campus has been mov ed from the front of the white •action to the front of the blue section. Typographical rearrange ment of the directory’s title page makes emergency numbers easi er to spot quickly, and other small typographical improve ments have been made through out the directory. The white section of individual listings has 14 fewer pages this year titan last, caused by the removal of formerly “white page” numbers to the blue UNC lection fraternities, sororities, dormitories, and academic and administrative department list ings, for example. AAA Author ised Service still leads the sec tion, and Zyzanski, Steve J., is still anchor man at the bottom of the list. The community has acquired one new Jones and dropped six Smiths since last year, and is Browner by three, Blacker by one. Greener by two, and Whiter by one.

Robert P. Midgette. assistant judge of the Chapel Hi!! Record er’s Court: Roland Giduz. Mayor pro tem; and Dr. Dan .Pollitt, professor of the UNC law school, participated in the WUNC discus sion of “Desegregation In A Small Southern Town” as it is affected by the law. Dr. Earle Wallace, professor in the Depart ment of Political Science, mod erated the program. The first problem discussed was what could be done to change the present government al system to give Negroes an ef fective voice. "It is my understanding that tile basis of exclusion is at the ballot box, but this is not true in Chapel Hill,” Mr. Giduz said. "There is no designation on the registration of who is a Negro and who is not. I would estimate that about 1,200 Negroes voted in the election before last. If the vote were cast as a block, you can imagine whai it could do.” “It is correct that the laws were designed to create segre gation with the Negro on the underside,” Dr. Pollitt said, “but this was created by man and so it can be undone by man. The Jim Crow Jaws are coming down because of the pressure from many groups. Progress is being made and in the last six years the momentum has been increas ing through sit-ins and public ac commodation laws.

Bus Transportation Trouble Discussed Parents’ complaints on school bus service Th-e being considered by tbe Chapel Hill Citizens School Committee. As a result the group has in vited the public to write in any complaints they might have, and has agreed to ask Bus Supervisor R. D. Smith to attend its Janu ary meeting to discuss the mat ter further. Complaints should be sent to Mrs. Halbert Robin son, Committee Secretary, Ashe Place, Chapel Hill. Some com plaints were discussed at the group's meeting Tuesday night. The group discussed the desir ability of developing a program to submit to the North Carolina Fund for a grant of money, with the idea of utilizing volunteer help from local professionals in sociology, planning, and educa tion. Chairman Ralph Howard was asked to discuss the develop ment qf such a program with the Chapel Hill aldernopn. The Committee also discussed traffic hazards for children walk ing to the Estes Hills School on Estes Drive. Chairman Howard was asked to check with the Town Manager on the possibility of having a sidewalk laid along the first block of this street. Custom-Made SLIPCOVERS and DRAPERIES Carolina Fabric .

White citizens do have a better chance than Negroes and it is our obligation to alleviate their handicaps. The disadvantaged ones should have the best opportunities ” Mr. Midgette said that equal employment opportunities -would do much to solve the problem. “Chapel Hill sanctions no dis crimination in its own employ ment,” Mr. Giduz said, “and further than that, what can the Town do?” The panel left the question un answered. Dr. Pollitt spoke against a firm truancy policy to keep Negro students in school and reduce the number of drop-outs. “I don’t believe in truant of ficers,” he said. “The drop-outs, which are occurring all over the nation, are an indictment of the school system. The flight from the school room means that there is somethipg wrong with the school. Cupel Hill is no better or worse than any other com munity.” The panel unanimously opposed a public accommodations law for Chapel Hill. “There is less need for such a law in Chapel Hill than in any community in the state,” Mr. Midgette said. “The problem is that for the four, five or six seg regated establishments are more interested in saving face than ip practicality.” “People do have a right to be a fool—if they want to—until their foolishness infringes on someone else’s rights," Dr. Pollitt agreed. •- 11 11 11 ■■■■ 1 11 ' ■■ iwy I ■■■!■■■ ■l.l.

I would like to leave it up to moral pressure to force the segregated place* to integrate.” “I'm afraid the cure might MU the patient,” Mr. Midgette said. “I wonder if we can inject gov ernment and courts into situa tions we encounter everyday without injecting it more than is- necessary.

Dr. Pollitt thought teat further demonstrations were tfte only way to focus attention on the problem. Mr. Giduz disagreed. “I don’t think demonstrations do any thing,” he said. “The persons carrying the signs haven’t said anything to me that I haven't ' already heard. If they are con tinued they won;t say anything to the private businessman.” “I believe in thf right of peace ful picketing,” Mr. Midgette said. “But I think further demonstra tions will only make the non-in tegrationists more determined. Civil disobedience demonstra tions are detrimental to the cause they are wprking for.” “In summary we can say that the law and government in Chap el Hill is not typical of the South because the Negro is not exclud ed by law,” Dr. Wallace con cluded.
