The commitee has tentatively set April 14 and 15 as dates for the af fairs. However, in order to get a name band which is on tour during April, the committee may change the dates to either April 7 and 8 or April 21 and 22. The income of the organiza tion is limited, so it is necessary that in getting a well known band, one will be chosen which will be on tour in the state at that time. NOT SUITABLE Artie Shaw's orchestra was serious ly considered until yesterday, when a wire was received stating that the only available date would be April 12 and 13. The committee decided the date was not suitable, since it would place the dances within the week, in stead of the week-end. The choice of orchestra depends on which of the prominent orchestras will be touring this section during April. Announcement of the selection and the definite date will be made within the next few days. Members of the committee are: Watt Miles, chairman, Beta Theta Pi; Victor Harllee, Sigma Ghi; Ernest Craige, Sigma Nu; Kenneth Tanner, Sigma Alpha Epsilon; Kenneth Royall Detla Kappa Epsilon; Gilbert Mc Cutcheon, Kappa Sigma; and Thomas Parrott, Zeta Psi.

In regard to the means of provid ing equal educational opportunity, Dr. Odum said, "Everybody with common sense knows that there are two phases to this problem. One is the long time i problem extending for back in the history of society and race conflict and looking forward to the long time equitable adjustment in the future. Everybody hopes too that we can do better in the future than we have in the past. "But there is also always the very realistic problem of what to do now and how to do it best.

But Relations Used To Be Very Different Between Two Literary Societies By BILL RHODES WEAVER Friday night the Dialectic senate and the Philanthropic assembly will forget their 144-year-old animosity, don white ties and tails and swing to the rhythm of Ted Ross' orchestra at the Carolina inn. The affair is deep rooted in Caro r lina tradition and is probably the old est social function on the campus. Early in the nineteenth century the two groups, at, that time a unified organization holding powers of dis missal and readmission of students, disagreed and split.
