When Oscar K. Rice was in
Europe he ran into a young man,
known in Chapel Hill, who was
teaching in a German university
anti had the position of Docent
.‘ f Docent” is not an everyday
weed, but it is respectable in
academic circles. It means V
young instructor who has not yet
received the doctorate degree.
A Harvard commencement
speaker used the term in a qua
train:
"The decent docent doesn’t
doze.
. He teaches standing on his
toe*.
His student dasn’t doze, but
.does;
And that’s was learning is
and was.”

the Air Froce ROTC in Chapel
Hill is rooting for Carolina in
the Gator Bowl.
» Their first loyalty is to UNC,
rather than any tie with the Air
Force Academy because of a re
lationship as Air Force Reserve
ameers of the future. That was
explained by Captain Richard
Booker of the Air Force and
Corroborated by Col. Gordon
Vase, commander of the unit
hwe.
“That holds not only for the
students,” said Col. Kage, "but
for all of us.” Their prior al
legiance is to Carolina.
They were talking about the
TJNC-Air Force game in the Ga
tor Bowl when Air Force Colonel
Royal S. Thompson of Maxwell
Air- Force Base in Alabama was
here last week.
Dean James Godfrey ventured
th« suggestion that it may be
hkety diet the air fields around
JadokaviUe will be heavy with
traffic from Air Force planes ~
next week—that perhaps many
military men will find business
in north Florida. - * > ,v
Colonel Thompson scotched the
Idas. “Any planes that fly in
and out of Jacksonville around
December 28 will probably have
to state in detail what their of
ficial business is there at that
time," he said.
He- said directives usually are
issued to forestall any concen
tration of forces at such contests.

Meanwhile, (back at the
ranch). Hardy Berry, the Public
Information Director at N. C.
State, telephoned to ask more
about the “Battleship North Caro
lina,” and whether the Wolfpack
fans can use the vessel for the
trip to the liberty Bowl in Phila
delphia.
He was informed that it’s okay
here, on condition that Hugh
Morton is able to fit the ship for
the Atlantic Ocean, and further
that he get the “North Carolina”
hack from Philadelphia in time
for the Gator Bowl trip. Hardy

OPEN TEA HOUSE—There was no August Moon,
but there were plenty of people at the Fire Depart

200 adults, with their children, came and gazed upon
the Firemen’s new quarters. Most said they liked the
inside of the building better than the outside. The
Franklin St. Sit-In Brings
32 More Arrests; Total 68
In the largest sit-in since dem
igMtiwttens F'riday,
82 whites and Negroes, nfbstt of
than of student age, crowded in
to Clarence's Bar and Grill on
West Franklin Street last night
and refused proprietor Mrs. Clar
ence Gray’s request that they
leave. All were arrested and char
ged with trespassing and resist
ing arrest.
For the first time, demonstra
tors from Durham and Raleigh
were among those arrested. Po
lice said they expected further
demonstrations tonight.
Last night’s arrests brought to
68 the total of persons arrested
in sit-ins since Friday. None of
those arrested last night had made
bond by this morning, though some
were expected to do so today.
Ten—five girls and five boys—
were transferred to the County
jail in Hillsboro during the night
because, as Chapel i(ill Police
Chief W. D. Blake put it, there
was “standing room only, and
hardly that in one cell” in the
Chapel Hill jail.
The sit-in occurred unexpectedly
shortly after 9 pin., the 32 enter
ing Clarence’s and sitting down
in booths while a group of about
100 other demonstrators sang free
dom songs outside on the street.
Mrs. Gray, accompanied by police
detective Howard Pendergraph,
went from booth to booth asking
each demonstrator to leave. All
refused. Detective Pendergraph
asked each if he understood the
consequences of refusal. All -indi
cated they did. Police waited out
side while Mrs. Gray issued her
requests to leave, then each dem
onstrator was carried outside to
waiting police cars. Police said
last night's group was "somewhat
more resistant” than previous, sit
in groups, but did not elaborate
except to indicate that there had
been some kicking by demon
strators as they were being carri
ed away.
Bond for each has been set at

Senators Square Off
On ‘Little Fed’ Plan
6 Restraint ’
Emphasized
By Humber
By W. H. SCARBOROUGH
State Senators Robert Humber
and Richard Long had a gentle
manly disagreement over the
proposed "little federal" amend
ment to the State Constitution
here last night, but both left with
their logic undamaged and align
ments unchanged.
The two senators argued before
a sparse audience of University
Young Democrats and visitors,
including Sen. Thomas White and
former State Representative L.
J. Phipps.
Senator Humber defended the
• amendment, which would recon
stitute tiie General Assembly,
giving each County one represen
tative in a 100-member House
and base a 70-member Senate
representation on population. The
amendment was necessary, he
said, to provide a form of gov
ernment that was truly represen
tational and contained the neces
sary checks and balances to pre
vent "tyranny of the majority.”
Senator Long attacked the
amendment on grounds that it
would in effect disfranchise the
majority of the voters of the
State and place effective political
control in the hands of a number
of small counties.
Before debate ended, both had
plowed deep in the origins of
the Federal system seeking jus
tification of their points of view.
Sen. Humber cited the system
as a "form” of government that
protected “interests.” Sen. Long
granted the U. S. Federal system
was a "necessary” compromise,
one that had to be made to bring
a number of small sovereign
states into union. However, the
analogy of the States and the
Federal Government could not be
