Politick lWleel BegrM STUDENT PARTY REPRESENTATIVES TO MEET TUESDAY Chairman Britt Says Group Will Operate ' On Convention Plan The campus' annual political cam paign was officially set in motion yes terday when Mitchell Britt, chairman of the Student party, announced a ''convention" of representatives of the party, to be held Tuesday night at S:30 in the Phi assembly hall, New East building. One representative from each dormi tory floor or section will be elected by residents of the dormitories under the same system by which the inter dormitory councilmen are chosen. Britt declared he "considered that this would be the most representative group ever assembled 4 on the Univer sity campus.' FRATERNITIES Any fraternities affiliated with the party, which originated as a dormi tory party, will have representation proportionate to the number of mem bers of the fraternity, "probably the regular political representatives of the houses," Britt said. " I "Fraternities will not compose more than one-sixth of the entire party," he asserted. The party passed the new conven tion plan last year, the chairman said. Mass meetings, open to anyone, were held last spring for nominating can didates. Instead of a steering commit tee, the Student party will , have a governing board to decide on meetings and administrate the campaign. ARLEADY CHOSEN Some of the delegates to the conven tion have already been elected, Britt said. He asked that dormitory presi (Continued on page two) LIBRARY SHOWS BOOK EXHIBITION Arts Institute Selects Volumes Fifty Books of the Year 1938 Ex hibition of American BookmaMng se lected and shown by the American Institute of Graphic Arts are now on view in the hall showcases on the first floor of the library.

The boys' call themselves "The Carolinians" and have elected Charlie Wood, University junior, as their director. Last Sunday night at the amateur hour they made their first public appearance, and their "Southern Schuffle" rhythm was well received by the campus. The orchestra has been organized about a month. Besides being the only co-operative orchestra on the campus, "The Caro linians" also have the largest number of musicians. The organization in cludes five brass, four, saxaphones, a w rhvthms.

I, Displaying unique power at the et and shooting across ace services with set regularity, Ellsworth Vines, Jr., rallied in the closing "games of the third set in Woolen gymnasium last night to defeat J. Donald Budge 4-6, 7-5, 7-5 in their 17th meeting of a. nation-wide tour to decide the World's Professional Tennis championship. In the opener Richard Skeen made it four straight over Al Chapin, winning 9-7, while in the final doubles match, Vines and Skeen trounced Budge and Chapin 6-4, 6-4. i ; - ' ' - It was a full house, loaded down with over : 4,000 amazed spectators, that witnessed one of the finest ex hibitions of tennis ever seen in the South. Cheering the two stars on. i especially in;, the waning minutes-f the deciding set, ? the galleries appre ciatively clapped and laughed with every move made on the courts. Jack Harris, genial manager of the pro tour, termed tonight's Budge-Vines meeting "the greatest match of the whole tour." Tonight's win pulled the standings to 10-7, still in favor of Budge. GOOD START . Budge and Vines started off on the right foot, as far as enjoyment goes, for as soon as the pro king had hit the first ball his racquet broke. After refusing Budge's offer to use "one of mine," Vines picked up another and prepared for the match. The flaming California redThead took an early 2-0 lead in the opening frame but soon succumbed to Vines' retaliations, as the champ pulled the count up to 2 all. - After the first showing of long and fast volleying which occasionally crept into the match, Budge acedN Vines neatly, his first and next to the last of. the night, to go ahead at 3-2. A double fault by Vines gave Budge a two game lead, but Vines, again seemingly spurred, on by the great dis advantage, worked his way to a 4-4 Delta Phi Alpha Holds Initiation . , Eleven members were initiated into Delta Phi Alpha, honorary German fraternity, at a meeting held Tuesday evening in Graham memorial. An executive committee for the re vision of the by-laws of the fraternity was appointed, consisting of Raymond Dudley, chairman, H. J. Privette, W. T. Dye, and the officers of the or ganization. PURPOSES This chapter of the fraternity was organized on the campus -only last spring. Since its beginning with John Kendrick as president, the fraternity has undergone continuous growth. Its purposes are "to honor excellence in German and to give students thereby an incentive for higher scholarship, to promote the study of the German lan guage, literature, and civilization, to (Continued on page two) Adeq To CMra Protection University Students Urged To Cooperate In Fire Prevention Chapel Hill's 15-year old fire fighting equipment is just about ade quate, for only town use, Jt L.T Cald well, city manager, said yesterday in disclosing that equipment has re mained the same while the number of University buildings has increased three-folL According to C. E. Vashaw, secre tary of the fire department, only 21 of the 54 buildings on the campus are fireproof, although . most are fire resisting. Five of these fireproof buildings are dormitories Carr, Archer house, and Battle-Vance-Pet- tigrew. None of the fraternity houses are fireproof, and none of the town buildings are fireproof except the post office. . 1938 LOSS During 1938 the department an swered 29 alarms, five of which were false,; with a total property loss val ued at $41,500. Greatest destruction came when the Playmaker theater burned at a loss of $26,000. Other large fires included the homes of Dr. W. C. Coker and Dr. Howard Odum, with -a loss of -$15,000. Small blazes destroyed property valued at $500. .The. department has already had seven calls this year, almost a fourth as many as for the whole year of 1938. Fire Chief P. R. Perry said that, for the most part, they were due to carelessness, and urged that students and home owners be more careful in the future. EQUIPMENT Chapel Hill's fire-fighting equip ment consists of one 15-year-old fire truck , of the American-la-France make, equipped with a ladder, boost er tank, containing 100 gallons of wa ter, chemicals, and 2,100 feet of hose. The fire station is located on North Columbia street;- The department at present has two (Continued on page two) Sophs Sell Tickets To Bolster Funds Chunk rolled over on his infirmary cot, groaned a little, and . said, "IH be there if ,1 have to jump out of the winodw," meaning that he will be present next Tuesday at the Carolina theater when the sophomore-sponsored movie "Service-Deluxe," starring Constance Bennett, is shown. Chunk Jenkins, chairman of the sophomore class executive committee, has been taking a rest cure at the University's health plant lately and has had a pretty hard time managing the campaign to sell tickets to the film. Even with the present handicap he has promised to sell 30 cent tickets to every inhabitant of the infirmary. Reason for this is that the. second year class needs money to the point of begging for it. Exceptionally social ly minded,- the class dance committee plans ..to stage a set of dances this spring which will be better than av erage sophomore hops. So, rather than beg, the committeemen are asking movie-goers to buy tickets from them for Tuesday's picture.

Phillips in 201 Pea body. Application forms, plans for interviews, certification forms, and other individual problems will be discussed by the director of the Teacher's Placement bureau.

The grand officers of the fra ternity were present for the initia tion and attended the banquet given in honor of the new chapter at the Washington Duke hotel in Durham.

Chairman Frank Ramsey McNinch will speak on freedom of speech and its relation to the federal government at 8 :30 tonight in Memorial hall, spon-' sored by the Carolina Political union and broadcast nationally by NBC. McNinch's expected-to-be-important address follows his recent proposal to President Franklin D. Roosevelt for a thorough reorganization of his com mission, from legal framework to ad ministrative machinery. The Presi dent's announcement Tuesday started Washington by his recommendation for revamping the commission, but he further stated that McNinch would definitely remain at its head." CONFERENCE Yesterday McNinch was busy at conferences, making recommendations for changes in the communications act, which will be referred to Con gress later in the week. That Mc Ninch was firmly entrenched at the helm of the commission was demon strated some time ago when the FCC chairman braved civil service rules to push through a reorganization of the commission's legal and informa- ndepartmeij-';x.7 ' " : -In his announcement, - Roosevelt commended McNinch for, his success in the partial reorganization and said that he wished the chairman to go even farther with the work.

Wilson of the International Labor off ice, when he speaks tonight in the Wake county court housej was extended to the University faculty and student body yesterday by C. A. Fink, president of the North Carolina State Federation of Labor. Wilson will speak on international labor questions, and, as his office is a branch of the International Labor organization with headquarters . in Geneva, he is thought to berpeculiarly well prepared to give interesting and instructive information. In a message to Dr. Graham, Fink asked the president of the University to attend the meeting. Dr. Graham, however, was forced to decline because of a previous engagement.
