The assistant manager of Aycock, active in a dozen different campus organizations, received the party nomination at Monday night's convention, and accepted the nomination immediately. I T - - . .

" I Curry Jones Officials Try For Naval V-l Experimental Plan May Be Used Here Administration officials were busily engaged yesterday in formulating plans leading to the possible application to the Navy department to place the Uni versity on the approved list for the new V-l program of the Navy. First released by Joseph W. Barker, high ranking Navy official at the Chi cago University conference on Pre-In-duction Training last Saturday, the program will be given to college stu dents during their first two years of study. Carolina's representatives at this conference, Roland Parker, assist ant Dean of Students, and Henry Wise bram, brought back full details about the program as far as they had been completed. The new V-l program will eventually take the place of the present method for entering the V-5 and the V-7 classes of the Naval Reserve. To be ableHo participate in the course, students will be required to take an examination giv en by the Navy during their sophomore year. Under special conditions, not yet wholly completed, students who are freshmen will be able to enter. No schools will be allowed to offer instruction for the V-l class until they submit curricula programs which are approved by the Navy department. At present it seems possible that Car olina will be among the first schools in the nation to receive the V-l status. As far as could be learned yesterday the new Naval program would not interfere in any way with the NROTC either now or in the future. ' Monogram Club To Be Clicked Cobby Gersten, president of the Mon- ' i:m club, announced yesterday that Rackety-Yack pictures will be taken ;-t 10:30 this, morning on the steps of tho Law building. ''V.'ear your, sweaters," he urged. To The Daily Tar Heel: May I add my best wishes to the many congratulations you1 have al ready received as you enter your fiftieth year. The 49 year record of service he'd by your paper is an enviable one. My hope is that your paper ' will continue to serve" the campus just as faithfully, just as efficiently these next fifty years as it has thus fan, Sincerely, Truman nobbs. Jones nomination came soon after announcement that he would head the Student Co-op Book Store, designed to give students a better return on used books than is obtainable in Chapel Hill, by eliminating most overhead ex penses. ' Jones, from Asheville, received wide spread recognition for sparking Car olina's NYA drive in December, when nation-wide budget slashes threatened to drop 75 self-help students from the lists. In three feverish weeks of ac tivity the committee pledged and col lected $6,500. Also active in the University Band, and University Club, Jones has mixed debating and chemistry into his college career. A member of the Debate Coun cil, he was elected into Alpha Chi Sig ma, honorary chemistry fraternity, last year. ' -Winding up a list of student activi ties, Jones served on the orientation committee, and as head cheerleader during the past year. Tall of the Cit Will Be Broadcast By Carolina Group By Larry Dale Multiplying about ten scuffling feet Unto 20.000 scuff line- fpet i nuitp a feat but it was the duty of one of Earl Wynn's radio classes' duties this week. Production of "The Fall of the City" by Archibald MacLeish, said to be one of the most difficult plays ever written for radio production, necessitated all this noise. The play is being produced this week by the Carolina Playmakers of the Air for the last in the Men In Ac tion series to be broadcast by Mutual this season. Out of consideration for the Politi cal Science classes that meet below the sound proofed studio during the morn ing Wynn postponed his radio classes' meeting until afternoon. Concrete blocks were then brought into the studio and students, for once without saddle shoes, stood on them and shuf fled around while mikes on the floor picked up the noise which was re corded in the control room. Repeated performances of this process, super imposed upon the noise already re corded rapidly built the class up into a crowd of formidable dimensions. To give the voice of the ghost who spefaks to the assembled crowd the proper sepulchral quality, Frank Brink and Arthur Golby devised an echo chamber. The chamber consists of a grand piano with the top open and the sustaining pedal held down by a brick. By placing the piano in the corner of the studio, separating it from the rest of the room by a high plywood wall, and placing a mike on the sounding board the tones of the speaker's voice are echoed and re echoed giving them a hollow tone. A bunch of scrap metal that would draw the admiration of a defense com fense committee, consisting of . a hunk of a bicycle chairi guard, a shiny piece of chain, a perfectly crood hammer head, and other handy parts hangs See PLAYMAKERS, page 8 The Daily Tar Heel: The students can talk about your editorials, news stories, sports, or even cross word puzzles. At one time or another probably all of them have been the object of criticism by students, since or otherwise. What they can't criticize is the fact that regular as clockwork every morning except Monday there's a paper by their door with news of what's going on. For 49 years of do ing a fine job, and doing it without fail, congratulations; Charlie Tillett, Yackety Yack Ed. i Vv, Governor J. M. Broughton Latins End Short Stay In Country Governor Broughton To Address Students At Final Ceremonies The University will bid goodbye to night to one of the smallest classes ev er to graduate from its ivy-covered halls as closing ceremonies for the 11 visiting South American scholars are held at 8:30 in Gerrard hall. Governor J. M. Broughton will be North Carolina's special emissary tol the exercises when he drives the fmaJ spike into the Inter-American solidar ity course by presenting official Uni versity diplomas to the group. Carolina, six-weeks Alma Mater of the Latins, will be represented by Dean R. B. House who will pronounce the granting of the sertificates before the diploma presentation by thVGovernor Tonight's program, which is open to the public, will conclude the four-month period of intensive inter-department cooperation which helped to make this year's session a complete success. Short talks will be made by Dr. S. E. Leavitt and one of the summer school students who will thank the Univer sity on behalf of the entire group. Following the policy of treating the visitors as regular University students throughout their short term stay here, Inter-American Institute leaders will continue this practice by awarding of ficial sheepskin commencement diplo mas to the South Americans. This year's program, acclaimed by Pan American groups throughout the country as doing more towards cement ing friendly relations between the Americas than any other movement, has benefited from the smallness of the visiting delegates as it gave the University an opportunity to develop specialized instruction. Members of the graduating class are: Chile: Eliana Ross Gibson, Public Health; Elena Walker Vial,- Public Health; Ivan de la Carrera, History. Peru : Dr. Jose Iminez Borja, educa tion; Dr. Carlos-Martinez Hague, Law; Dr. Jose Pareja Paz Soldan, Law; Senor Guillermo Descalza, general edu cation; Senor Rodolofo Ledgard, Law; Senor Jorge Bellido, Law Brazil: Dr. Hernane Tavares de Sa; Senor Afonso Gomes, Law. Playmakers Schedule Afternoon Tryouts Tryouts for roles in three new one- act plays written in Proff Koch's play writing course will be held in the Play maker Theater this afternoon at 4 o'clock. The play selected for production on the 81st bill of Experimental Produc tions on March 10 are "Got No Misery" by Genie Loaring-Clark; "Pen In Hand" by Ellen May Pillsbury; and "A Motley Assembly," an adaptation of a contemporary American Revolu tionary play by Mrs. Mercy Warren, prepared for the modern stage by Mrs. Marion Gleason. To The Tar Heel: Congratulations to The Daily Tar Heel on its forty-nine years of ser vice as liberal spokesman for a cam pus community and the medium of expression for "the forward-looking thought" for 12 student generations. .

' " It is desired to have as many as possible of the Hill people typed so as to speed up blood transfusions in case of a local emergency at which time it is extremely difficult to secure donors. The opportunity is again offered from 7:30 until 9:30 today and from 2 o'clock until 5:30 tomorrow.' Daily Tar Heel: y Congratulations on your 49th an niversary. It's almost comparable to the, anniversary of the 4th since you've certainly exploded a lot of firecrackers this year: hazing, dance cuts, dorm social rooms, housing, the honor code, the coat thefts and on into the night. ' , However we all feel and take sides on the problems the Daily Tar Heel has presented, I think the whole campus appreciates the initia tive of the editors in presenting thought-provoking editorials and features, especially when it has meant a policy of "sticking one's neck out."

Student Government . at Dance Cut Meeting Battle Waged Over Expenditures Is Initial Display of Authority As the tides of battle surged and ebbed on the floor of the Stu dent legislature Wednesday night, the balance of Student govern ment stood weighing its future. "The first real issue before the student body since I have been at the University faces the legislature tonight," said Truman 'Bo Reynolds Bennett Names Reynolds to Direct UP Election Drive 'Bo' Reynolds, outstanding athlete and student government leader, took over the reins of Bert Bennett'sToliti cal bandwagon yesterday. Bennett's candidacy for the Presi dency of the Student Body, announced two weeks ago by University Party Chieftain Erwin Bowie, will be led by Reynolds, himself active in extra-curricular activities. Campaign plans are already being discussed, and the new manager said last night that the drive w.ould be "straightforward, sincere and fair." A member of the Student legislature, the finance committee of that body, the Junior class honor council,-and the Interdormitory council, Reynolds is al so vice-president of Ruff in, and active in the interdorm dance committee and the University dance committee. De fense activities, include work as an air raid warden. Three-year member of the baseball squad, co-captain in his fourth year, and member of the Ath letic council, he is active in the Mono gram club. Told By An Idiot Head ruDiicity Patient: 'Bagdad Daddy '; Cure: Kill Ants in Pants By Sylvan Meyer Of most shows it may be said "in entirety it -was good, but pick it apart and it reminds you of a ghoul room." Of Sound and Fury's "Bagdad Daddy" Wednesday night the reverse is true. The high spots were fine, but they stood out in sharp contrast with the general tempo of the student-presented musical. "Bagdad Daddy" is a slapped-together script about Miss Barbara Erwin (Diddy Kelley) who journeys to the Near East 'with her producer (George the characters didn't live up to their Latshaw, also the author) and his surroundings was not the fault of the secretary, nippy little Audrey Hamblen, technical crew.

That Is Raise Hobbs, student body president, in his address to the assembly. "The strength of Student government at Carolina will be tested by its effec tiveness in dealing with this situation; if at any time the legislature should act decisively and finally, that time is tonight." ' ' At its most "exciting meeting" in ten years, the Student legislature ef fectively settled the question of its au thority and position Wednesday night Leaders Speak Leaders, yesterday pointed out that the legislature had in no way over stepped its bounds as set forth in the constitution. The action in approving a bill to slash dance expenditures to $750 does not specify in "what way student organizations should spend their money." The act merely limits ex penditures for dances to $750, and any organizations who, under this system, will have a surplus may expend their funds in any manner that they see fit. s One clause of the bill states that "in view of . the war emergency" the act , "will give individuals, groups of indi viduals, and organizations an oppor tunity to divert money" to national defense. Hobbs Pleads Hobbs, in his opening address, clear- -ly showed that lack of equipment may hinder the Carolina Volunteer Train ing Corps from achieving the desired end of thorough training in the rudi ments of military life. The Office of Student Civilian Defense, , carrying forth a multiple-sided program of protection-morale-information, oper ates on a budget "that would put most organizations to shame." Funds could be established, Hobbs said, "for the sons of Carolina alumni who are kill ed in the war" or for future scholar ships. The act passed Wednesday grew out of a similar movement in most of the universities of the nation. Edkor Or ville Campbell of the Tar Heel se cured the information through a swift telegraphic poll. First Plans First plans were laid early in Janu ary, and meetings of the newly-formed campus cabinet heartily endorsed the move. Last week, meetings of the Ways and Means committee, chair maned by Louis Harris, prepared the 1 See DANCE CUTS, page 8 Ray, a would-be screen star hounding the producer, looked charming, etc. etc. etc. Perhaps Miss K. has a trifle too much dignity for her pseudo-glamour See SOUND AND FURY, page 8
