C SATURDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1940 EditorUl: Kew: Kit: OX NUMBER 60 Board Refuses Free Space to Honor Orders PU Board Approves Door-to-Door Circulation of Mag A request for free space in the Taciety-Yack for Alpha Kappa Gamma, Phi Beta Kappa, the Golden Fl?ce, and the Order of the Grai wai- refused by the Publications Union board yesterday. Bi'A Dees, president of the Grail and member of the Fleece, and Irwin Zuck ernian, president of Phi Beta Kappa appeared before the board yesterday askixg that those organizations be crrarted free space in forthcoming yearbooks. . , "'Af two based their requests on the .taUments that these organizations art campus-wide honorary gTOups and thai members are taken in without havjr.g anything to say about accept ing financial responsibility. Cf. Figured in Budget Ionard ixDred, cnairman, said that action of the board was based mairJy on the fact that money which the four organizations would pay for irieir pages in the yearbook was figur ed iii the budget. If this money, about $200, was not forthcoming and the cost had to be footed by the Yackety Yas?c, the money would have to be taken from other items of the budget. The result would be a decrease in the quality of the book. The board felt that this would be unsatisfactory to the student body. Then, too, the only free space in the annual is given to stue'ent government, the introductory section including the faculty, the beauty section, and the snapshots. No organizations such as the Grail, Fierce, or others requesting free space Jiave ever been granted that privilege Aiag Distribution Okayed . Door-to-door distribution of the Carolina Mag, which was used for the last issuers assured" fo'r the future ism.es this year as provided for by the board which approved the cost of this type of circulation. The expense is $2.00 per issue. The board considered but took no action on a request from the Tar 'An Feathers for an additional $100 or $20 an issue to cover the cost of a sug p?sted increase in the number of pic tures to" be used in the publication.

At present the herbarium contains 88,727 specimens Dr. Coker remarked, and since the hall has been remodel ed there is room for a great many more specimens." For some time now statistics have been compiled in an effort to deter mine the relative sizes of various her bariums, but final data has not yet been obtained and it remains impos sible to say whether the herbarium at Duke or Chapel Hill is the largest in the south. if if if . i 'i; -.

Syd Alexander, president of the Y, said in a letter to the Daily Tar Heel that "for some time there has been the general criticism that the YMCA has been missing its primary purpose on this campus." The meeting called for Monday night, when full reports of the quarter's activity will be made, is obviously being held to' refute the idea. Program of Meeting The general meeting will feature j reports on freshman work, sophomore activities, junior-senior forums, eco nomic and social work, worship, cam pus affairs, social service, Student Christian movement, special activities, directory, handbook, information desk, lost and found, Red Cross membership, " See YMCA, page 4 Yackety Yack Is Still Searching For Snapshots In a plea to make the Yackety Yack more representative of the , student body this year, Hugh Morton, snap shot editor of the yearbook, yesterday asked students to get busy and contrib ute snapshots for the next issue. Attempting to interest the stu dents in turning in snapshots the Yackety Yack is sponsoring a contest with a prize of $10.00 for the best photograph sent in. - Annual Pays Expenses Even though students do not win a prize with their contributions, the Yackety Yack will pay for all pictures which are published. "So," said Mor ton, "there is no reason for students not to responcr. Morton went on to say that the pho tography staff of the Yackety Yack could take the snapshots themselves but "naturally most of these pictures would be of their personal friends and this would keep the annual from be ing as representative as it could be with more student cooperation." Puerto Rico Head Is Graduate of UNC The new Acting Governor of Puerto Rico, Dr. Jose" M. Gallardo, is a Uni versity of North Carolina graduate, ac cording to a report from the Alumni office yesterday. President Roosevelt recently designated Dr. Gallardo to re place Admiral William D. Leahy, who was recently appointed Ambassador to France. " Three Speak To Conference Palmer Says South Is Industry-Minded Declaring the South is now indus trially minded, W. E. Palmer, presi dent of the Kingsport, Tenn., Press, told more than 200 delegates to the second Southern Conference on To morrow's Children yesterday that southern industry must accept re sponsibility for development of poli cies which provide for the maximum social and economic advancement of the southern people. Other speakers at today's session were Joseph J. Pengler, professor of economics at Duke university, who outlined a population policy to coun teract harmful trends in the national birthrate; and Margaret J. Hagood of the University's Institute for Re search in Social Science, who de scribed the mothers of the South as human resources and advocated plan ning so that the children of the South may be born in the best possible en vironment with a maximum chance for normal development. Last night's sessions were held at Duke university, and the conference returns here this morning for the con cluding meetings. Song-Writers Besiege Sound And Fury Willi Their Wares Up until recently Tin Pan Alley, the mythical street of song, was con fined to a few buildings in Manhattan, the mecca of every would-be composer with 32 bars of music and some words that rhymed. But now the center of melody and lyrics has shifted to the Sound and Fury office located in the projection booth of Memorial hall, for, ever since the success of last year's "One More Spring" and the an nouncement of the forthcoming winter revue, a seemingly endless number of campus Berlins -and Porters have demonstrated their wares to President Carroll McGaughey and his as sistants. . . Unlike the songs of "One More Spring," which were all written by the team of Jack, Page, Jim Byrd, and Sanford Stein, those presented in the revue will be the brainchilds of more different writers. "We've already se lected several of our musical num bers," said McGaughey, but if any one has anything good to offer, we can find a place for it. But, please, try to write rhythm songs or novelty pieces. We've got an excess of ballads now. And if anyone else plays me a song he or she wrote in their second Walks .MpOi B e or News Briefs Greeks Drive Within Sight Of Elbasan . Mussolini Removes Badoglio From Post Of Chief -of -Staff By United Press ATHENS, Dec 6 Greek forces to night" were reported to have driven within sight of Italy's army head quarters at Elbasan, in central Al bania, af tejr occupying the Fascist military base at Porto Edda in the south and closing a stranglehold on nearby Argyrocastron. Greek rejoicing over the victories was heightened by news of the re - placement of Marshal Pietro Badoglio as Italian chief-of-staff, which, it was claimed here, is "a confession of the failure of the Italian adventure against Greece A double-pronged Greek push was reported driving rapidly oh Elbasan, over 24 miles south of the Albanian capital of Turina. The capture of "thousands of prisoners" and discov- erv of frozen Italian dead on the snowy mountains was reported Italian planes are forced to drop food and ammunition by parachute to Fascist forces trying to hold strategic peaks on the Mokra mountains south of Elbasan, it was reported from the front. ROME, Dec 6 Replacement of Italy's greatest living soldier," Mar shal Pietro Badoglio by a compara tively obscure general as chief of the Fascist general staff will be followed by a strong offensive to drive Greek forces from ( Albanian soil, it was understood tonight. The veteran Badoglio, for 15 years Benito Mussolini's war chief, stepped aside today and was unexpectedly re placed by General Ugo Cavallero, 60-year-old pro-German and an exponent of Adolf Hitler's blitzkreig methods of warfare. LONDON, Dec 6 A shake-up m the British Navy's High Command to cope with Germany's destruction of British shipping was believed immi nent after a fierce sea battle off Brazil between the merchant cruiser Carnar von Castle and a disguised Nazi sea raider. The 20,122-ton Carnarvon Castle routed the German raider disguised as j a merchantman and sent it fleeing northward "at high speed'' in , the battle apparently fought within the American neutrality zone in the South Atlantic yesterday, the Admir alty said.

Good Talent Discovered Some surprisingly good talent has been discovered on the campus, much of it hy accident. Best of the new comers is Jane Dickinson, a petite, brown-haired junior coed from Wash ington, D. C, who sings her own songs in alow, sobbing voice reminis cent of Helen Morgan. Unable to write or read music, she composes all her tunes in her head and, fortunate ly, can always, stay on key so that the listener gets a satisfactory idea of what the song sounds like. In addi tion, she is one of the few campus song writers whose lyrics not only are metrically smooth but actually make sense and are often extremely clever. At least three of her songs will be used in the revue a rhythm song called "So Good"; a torchy ballad, "The Willow Tree Cried," and a num ber about a coed who was the life of the party, "I Go Home "and Cry. a Lot." . Into the Sound and Fury office one afternoon walked a prim and proper young .miss who looked like Janet j See SONG WRITERS, page 2 J mm finances Construction Would Require Bond Issue "Brick sidewalks are simply out of the question at present because of University finances," L. B. Rogers on, assistant controller, said yesterday in answering recommendations by the Student Advisory committee. " " Since such walks would constitute a permanent improvement, he ex plained that their construction would require a state bond issue authorized by the state legislature. None of the maintenance funds, even if they were sufficient, could be used. Rogerson also released a memoran dum prepared by University Engineer A. H.Hollett on the other recom mendations by the student committee. Walks Can't Be Treated According to the memorandum, the , application of calcium chloride would be practical only for roads and parking areas. Hollett explained that walks could not be treated, for two reasons. First, the maintenance budget w-ould be unable to supply the cost of servic ing such a large area. Second, there would be some possible danger of tracking the calcium chloride on va rious types of floors. "Much of the dust of which stu dents are complaining comes from their playing football and other games in the quadrangles, particularly dur ing dry seasons," Hollett asserted. The treatment of the roads and parking areas is still being consid ered. The memorandum also reported that maintenance crews have already been combined to begin servicing all drives, walks , and parking areas on the-campusTemporary gravel walks have already been, constructed from the three entrances of H dormitory to the connecting permanent walks in the lower quadrangle. The engineer also announced that during the Christmas holidays, a per manent gutter will be constructed parallel to the front of H and brick platforms at least 10 feet long . will be laid from each of the dormitory entrances. The memorandum approved several student recommendations which must still be taken up by the faculty com See NEW WALKS, page 4 Scouting Frat To Initiate 12 Pledges Today Twelve pledges of the Rho chapter of the Alpha Phi, national scouting fraternity, will be initiated this aft ernoon at 3:45 in Graham Memorial.
