Fails To Act On Single-Club Resolution By Paul Komisaruk The Carolina Political union pushed the clock back yesterday and ended up approximately where .it started in its controversy - with the International Relations club. Proposals to seek official recogni tion as the University's jorgan for pf e senting speakers to be supported through student fees, were tabled after a brief but warm discussion, and a com mittee was appointed to draft plans for further cooperation with the IRC. Maury Kershaw presented the pro posals that a five-man committee had worked over during the past week. The proposals called for one official organization on the campus to act as a clearing house for all speakers of campus interest on social, political and economic questions, for the organiza tion to be sustained by a fee of five cents a quarter per student, for the organization's budget to be approved by the Student Legislature and check ed by the Student Auditor, for the membership of the CPU to be raised from 25 members to between 25 and 30 members, and for all applicants to be required, to pass an objective oral and written examination. Opposition Arises . Opposition to the proposals were im mediately voiced by Lee Wiggins who claimed that such an organization On the campus would be decidedly undem ocratic and unfair: i; Heated 'discussion lasting a few minutes followed, and the proposals were finally tabled. Following the tabling of the propos als the Union passed an amendment stating that a general policy of cooper ation be attempted with the IRC. Pre vious attempts to settle the dispute that arose between the IRC and CPU See CPU, page 4. Comedy of Errors heralds Initial Community Sing A comedy of errors heralded the first of the weekly Graham Memorial community sings last night in Gerrard hall. Leon Adams, song leader, turned up only after a long and minute search by the Graham Memorial Gestapo. The "planned" errors, such as the uncompromising refusal of the loud speaker to function, the disappearance of the "Old Black Joe" slide (which the Gestapo did not locate), and the lack of a piano light, which caused the substitution of the spotlight,' which in turn caused the song words to go their way in the dark, did not daunt the crowd of 450 lusty singers who turned j out. ' Avera Wins Prize ' Interspersed with the songs were j the appearances of six amateur num bers. Tom Avera, with his snappy piano versions of those classical fav orites, "Beat Me Daddy Eight to the Bar" and "Rumboogie" won the first prize. The Town Boys' Trio, composed of Tiny Hutton, Pat Winston, and "Bob Richards walked off with second prize, and Grady Reagan, who sang the mountain version of "Well All Right," and that old favorite, "You Are My Sunshine" (choruses by the audience) took third place. Randy Mebane, Skipper Bowles, and Sid Sadoff, complete with solemn aces and deep voices, acted as judges. Cartoons and . such intellectually stimulating phrases as "Don't spit on the floor, remember the Johnstown flood" were flashed on the screen while the crowd caught its collective reath. New Band Performs The evening was topped off with the first appearance of a new campus band, Julian Burroughs and his Gra ham Memorial Orchestra.

Fesler Addresses YoungRepublicans "As a political scientist, I think Wen dell Willkie conducted a fine campaign and put his soul into it," Dr. James Fesler of the political science depart ment said yesterday afternoon when he spoke to the Young Republicans club. Dr. Fesler spoke on the merits and bad. points of Willkie's campaign. He further said Willkie's crusade for loyal opposition was not new, but originated in England and was well known. Dr. Fesler declared that both Roose velt and Willkie appealed to cross-sec- tiqn groups and that Willkie repre sented a complete new orientation in the GOP. "The Republican party con tributes greatly to our national ele ment," he said. v Members of the organization voted to dispense with the name "Willkie Club" and to be known under, their i former title Young Republicans club. Britain Expects American Financial Aid Next Year; Greeks Advance on Northern and Southern Fronts By United Press . WASHINGTON5, Nov. 25 Great Britain expects to obtain American financial aid next year as well as ships, planes, and munitions, British Am bassador Lord Lothian said today after an 80-minute conference with Presi dent Roosevelt. y He insisted that he and Mr. Roose velt "never mentioned finance at all" during their conference, and that the President "made no promises of any sort or kind."

The student entertainment commit tee had already contracted its fea tures for the remainder of this year before Sound and Fury asked for fi nancial backing, and there were no ad ditional funds available, McGaughey explained. Didn't Expect Support "We had not really expected the committee's support this year," Mc Gaughey said. "When we asked them for money last year it. was with the understanding that it was not to be come a permanent arrangement, out simply to help our new organization get on its feet. Now we're walking by ourselves 'and we are depending upon the campus to back us up. If the tickets sell well well consider it a vote of confidence from the campus. If not, well, maybe the students don't want Sound and Fury shows anyway." The season ticket booklet will con tain two coupons, one for the winter revue, scheduled for February, and the other for the spring quarter musical comedy. The coupons may be exchanged at the box office, for re served seats before eacbTshow. Season ticket holders will be given an oppor tunity to select their seats a short while before tickets go on sale to the general campus. The booklets will sell for 75 cents. Bought individually, tickets for separate performances will sell for 50 cents each. Tickets may be obtained from any member of Sound and Fury, or at the Sound and Fury office 'in the balcony of Memorial halL . -a reiteration of statements he made prior to and immediately after his re turn to England came in the midst of a brewing Congressional battle over any proposals to make U.

D. Car michael. . Sanctioned yesterday afternoon by the- state WPA office in Raleigh, the application must still be approved by the Administration's Washington headquarters and by the regional of fice of the Civil Aeronautics "authority in Atlanta. University Engineer A. R. Hollett estimated that final approval will come about December 15, and that work will begin shortly after. Com pletion of the project, which will take about ten months, will give the Uni versity a "Number Four" airport, the highest type. Such an airport, if fully equipped, would provide training fa cilities for a maximum of 800 stu dents a year. The grading, which will necessitate the moving of some 450,000 - cubic yards of earth, will include the levell ing of all uneven areas on the field. Most of the work will be done by four wheel scrapers and a steam shovel. Drainage will be facilitated by small stone aprons and spillways laid down beside the runways. To replace the two old runways, neither of which is over 2,000 feet long, three hew ones will be constructed. The longest of 4,500 feet will run-east and west and, later may be extended to 6,000 feet. A northeast-southwest runway of 4,000 feet will be capable of extension to 4,500 feet. The third, running northwest to southeast, will also be 4,000 feet long, but may be lengthened to 5,200 feet. All these potential extensions would be made on property already owned by the University. Their construction will entail fine See AIRPORT, page h. North Carolina Club To Discuss Public Education "Public Education in North Caro lina" will be the topic for discussion at the North Carolina club meeting at 8:30 this evening in the small lounge of Graham Memorial. Arthur Dixon, Ernest Morris and Harry Tucker will present the subject. Some of the facts that will be given and discussed tonight are as follows: North Carolina sends' the largest number of children to school by bus, with the lowest cost per child of any state in the Union. This is true only because of the heavy overloading of the school buses. The only thing to be proud of, the North Carolina club hint ed, is that the accident rate is as low as it is. In 1930, North Carolina rated eighth from the bottom in the nation's literacy. Ten per cent of all adult North Carolinians were illiterate. A most interesting fact that will be discussed is that North Carolina is fourth from top in preparing its teachers, yet it stands forty-second from the top in average teachers' sa-' anes. incendiary bombs on " the important Blohm and Voss shipyards at Ham burg in two night raids on Germany's second city and main port Sunday, the Air Ministry reported tonight.
