According to Jackson, the committee chairman, Dr.

J. R. Caldwell, has praised the student representative highly, noting that the student was "active and effective in the work of this Faculty Committee." Jackson said that Dean Cathey had noted in a letter that general reaction from other faculty committee members was negative. These members commented that they had tried student members in the past, and there were "poor attendance and no contributions." The faculty members were willing to let students appear before committees and offer suggestions, but not to act as members. Student Government officials are making efforts to place students on other committees, such as Buildings and Grounds, Fraternities and Sororities, Admissions, and Athletics.

Bob Spearman, legislative speaker, said the only way the faculty could benefit from student suggestions would be through student relations. The resolution passed unanimously. An amendment to the Bylaws which will provide an automatic adjournment of the legislature at 10:45 p.m. was also approved. The amendment will make it possible for the women students in legislature to obtain last minute permission from house-mothers in the event of unusually long session." In the past, late permission had to be obtained three days in advance, preventing women from remaining after 11 p.m.

when a session ran over. This left 25 per cent of the student body unrepresented for part of the session. This amendment will reassure the Dean of Women that late sessions will not be frequent, so that late permission may be gained at the last minute. The election of the two members to the CUSC was postponed bceause of a large number of absentees. Also sworn in as a new legislator was Gordon Parker.

Treasury Chases Chain Letters The U. S. Treasury Department is cautioning the public against the current rash of Savings Bonds "chain letters" which are reportedly being circulated on some college campuses in North Carolina. A Treasury spokesman announced yesterday that "The Treasury Department is opposed to such practices. The objections stem from the fact that such schemes make fraudulent misuse of Savings Bonds, and experience over the years has shown that the vast majority of people who participate in such schemes or lotteries lose their "Some chain letter plans imply that the Government approves the idea in order to increase bond sales.

This is not true. Banks and other issuing agents have instructions to refuse to sell Savings Bonds in cases where they know or have reason to suspect that the bonds issued will be used in any type of chain letter scheme. This applies wheth-( Continued on Page 3) The New Look In Girl Grabs By JOHN GREENBACKER It didn't look like much of an abduction scene yesterday at the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity house, but that's exactly what it was. Brothers of the fraternity "kidnapped" housemothers of the seven sororities on campus and held them until each girl of each house contributed a can of food for charity. Charles Wolfe, Lambda Chi vice-president, said the canned goods would be given to the Inter-Church Council, an affiliate of the Red Cross, for distribution.

How did the mothers take it? "The boys were real sweet," said Kappa Kappa Gamma mother Mrs. Mary Huffman. "I think these boys deserve lots of credit Continued on Page 3 of the school year, the local chapter of CORE was established. CURED is only a local organization while CORE is a member of one of the largest national civil rights groups. Quinton Baker was here throughout the summer and frequently participated in demonstrations.

When asked why the COB disbanded, Quinton remarked, committee failed rthis summer because or the ineffectiveness of the movement, which brought a strong desire for new tactics that were contrary to the beliefs of many members." "If any gains are to be made, the present movement has the greatest chance of achieving them," he added. "The majority of the crowds this summer weren't willing to make the sacrifice necessary for an effective movement." Quinton feels that the new integrationist groups have been able to organize people who are willing to make those sacrifices. "CURED encompasses all those who are willing to mdke certain contributions, but not go so far as to go to jail. CORE's members are ready for anything." The local leader of CORE is John Dunne, who recently gave up his Morehead Scholarship and left the University so he could work full-time for the organization. John is a rather handsome, dark-haired fellow with a pleasant voice.

If anything, he is intense. He is one of the few whites whom the Negroes respect for leadership. Most whites, they say, are not militant enough. During the summer, the white participants served as a moderating force, but most of them are no longer active. There is still a certain element of dissatisfaction with the present leadership.

Some feel the By PETER IIARKNESS In a dingy room above a funeral parlor in Carrboro, the local chapter of the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) maintains its headquarters. In mid-afternoon, the office is bustling with busy white and Negro volunteers. Young girls work feverishly on typewriters, two boys talk quietly beside an oil stove, while another explains new tactics to local, minister over the "phone. One of the Quinton Baker, is a serious young man who has a neat appearance, wears glasses, and speaks in an articulate manner. He is a pleasant person with a good sense of humor.

A student at North Carolina College, Quinton is head of the state youth program for the NAACP. He was carried from Brady's Restaurant Sunday night and from the Pines Monday night by police during sit-ins. This is nothing new for Quinton. He has spent a number of nights in jails throughout the state. He is especially interested in Chapel Hill because of the hope, which is shared by others, that it will be the first town in the state to totally desegregate.

The en integrationist move began here at the end of the spring semester last year and extended through the summer. The. original anti segregation group was the Committee for Open Business (COB) which sponsored marches, picketing, and sit-ins throughout the summer. Some demonstrations were as large as 500 strong. Thirty-four were arrested in a sit-in at the Chapel Hill-Carrboro Merchants Bureau.

At the end of the summer, COB was replaced by Citizens United for Racial Equality and Dignity (CURED) and at the beginning Russian Spy last July 2. The couple was living together in a fourth-floor walkup apartment under the names of "Robert Kini? Baltch" and "Joy Ann Garber Baltch." The real Baltch is a priest. The identification of Sokolov came to light when a federal grand jury in Brooklyn reindicted the Russian and the bogus "Mrs. Baltch" on charges of conspiring to spy for Russia and conspiring to act as foreign agents without notifying the State Department.

Larry Poe, a junior from Salisbury, will replace recently resigned Richard Westin in Dorm Men's I. Like Westin, he is an independent, and said he "intends to remain one." In "other action, a resolution urging further student participation on Faculty Committees and a bill to amend the SL By-laws were passed. Neal Jackson, sponsor of the Faculty Committee resolution, said that currently only one student is a member of a faculty committee, that being Scholar- BULLETIN Some 37 persons, many of them University students, were arrested here last night during a sit-in at Clarence's, a segrgated restaurant on W.

Tuesday's demonstration brought the total arrested in five days of renewed protests to 73. SP To Elect IV In GM Tonite Legislative Seats Also To Be Filled The Student Party will meet tonight to select a new chairman. The meeting will be held at 7 p.m.

in Roland Parker Lounge of Graham Memorial. Neal Jackson, party chairman for the past year, announced last week that he would not run for re-election. He cited his work in Student Legislature and NSA as the reasons for his withdrawal. Also to be elected tonight are a new vice-chairman, two yearlong seats on the party's Advisory Board and two six-month seats on the Advisory Board. Legislative seats to be filled include Dorm Men's IV (Upper Quad) and in Town Men's IV (the area outside the corporate limits of Chapel Hill and Carrboro).

"Several people have indicated interest in these positions, and the meeting is of importance to all party members," commented Jackson. "We hope that everyone will be able to attend. "We have scheduled the meeting early in order to avoid conflict with the basketball game, and it will not last more than 45 minutes." centive." "While other organizations were established to create opportunities, we were established to help people take advantage of them," he said. Mike -Brooks, Director of Research for the Fund, said one out of every six citizens of North Carolina has below a sixth grade education. "The mountain and coastal areas have the worst economic problems," he said.

The Fund is now attempting what Dr. Esser described as "a comprehensive package of programs" in key areas of the state designed at relieving poverty and educational problems. "Response has been great," he said. Dr. John Clayton, program moderator, concluded the discussion by stressing "the Fund is not a mass handout, but an experiment which may be carried out and duplicated throughout the state."

We asking for complete desegregation before Christmas' Quinton Baker was not as optimistic. "Of any North Carolina town, Chapel Hill has the greatest possibility, but I'm very skeptical," he said. As he was talking, an elderly minister entered the office. It was Father Clarence Parker, an 80-year-old retired Episcopalian minister. What did he think of the recent developments? "It all goes into one basket," he said.

"I'm behind anything subject to the principles upon which CORE is based." He must have meant it. Two hours later he had to be carried out of the Pines Restaurant by police. He was one of nine arrested in a sit-in staged by CORE Monday night.
