He gained re-admission a few minutes later bearing a fire extinguisher with which he promptly doused Presi-. lent Martin, Secretary Fred Day and Critic Sam MenAenhanL Studei Nomi Student Counc Not To Withdr Student Council by a vote of 28 5 at its last meeting Monday de feated a motion by Robert Bell that council withdraw from the National Student Association. Arguments were heard both for and against the motion during the council meeting. Arguments for the proposals to withdraw were presented by Rob ert Bell, Clarence 'Easterling, and John G. Altman. Bell suggested that council should not remain In a national organization whose major policies conflicted with those of our own. He also sug gested that the National Student Association, which was on the Un-American Activities List when it was formed in 1948, is "pink tinged." He also suggested that the Hungarian student who visited the campus last year through the NSA also visited Allen University and has been used as an instru ment of propaganda by integra tionist groups. Clarence Easterling backed up Bell's motion by saying that the $600 which is spent yearly by the Carolina Student Council in dues to the N9A and in expenses for delegates to the national conven Southeastern A Charlie Cash I Charlie Cash, a junior Chemical Engineering student at the Univer sity, was elected last week to the post of president of the Southern Regional Student Chapters of AIChE, at a convention held at the Alabama Polytechnic Insti tute.

Altman further advocated the withdrawal of council from the Student Association. Bob Freeman spoke against the motion saying that council did re ceive numerous benefits from NSA and that withdrawal from the as sociation was not the answer to the problem. Pete Martin then outlined a number of reasons why the NSA has proved beneficial to the campus. He noted that the Uni versity is the balance of power in the regional NSA (North and South Carolina and Virginia) and that we have regional officers. He also said he inferred from Bell's proposal that any organ ization on campus which differed in any respect from the stand taken by its national organization should follow council's example and also withdraw from its na tional oranization. Other reasons were cited during the course of the debate and a roll call vote was taken at the end and the motion was defeated by a majority of 28-5.
