Betty Etz, chairman of the Coed
Senate electorate committee, an
nounced a unanimous decision to re
place the vacancies in sorority repre
sentatives by candidates next in line
in the coed elections of April 14, 1942.

s
Carr Must Appear
Before Legislature i
The appointment of a vice president
for the Junior class has been delayed
for approximately another two weeks,
Mike Carr, president of the Junior
class stated today.
The vacancy was left by the untime
ly death of Lyman Higdon, the vice
president of the class for 1942-43. Hig
don was killed the latter part of this
August while working on a tunnel job
for the Tennessee Valley Authority.
Another worker was killed and four
others were injured in the cave-in. Hig
don was Pi Kappa Alpha and toast
master of his .fraternity. He was a
member of the varsity boxing team
and a member of the Sophomore Dance
committee in 1941.
Plans had been completed by Presi
dent Carr before the opening of school
to have a new vice-president fulfilling
the many duties of the office when
school opened. However, due to a pro
vision in the Legislature, Carr must
appear before that group with his plan
for their approval. This will delay ap
pointment two weeks two weeks more
that the Junior class must remain with
out a vice-president.
The plan, proposed by Carr, calls for
the appointment of an executive com
mittee which will nominate and elect
the new vice-president. Names of the
members of the committee are being
withheld by Carr, out of respect to
Higdon, that no element of politics will
enter into the appointment.
Green Speaks

Paul Green, noted playwright and
author, opened the initial fall meeting
of the Di Senate last night with a dis

would mean the virtual extinction of
American culture." Wesley Bagby, Di
president, introduced the guest speaker.
Freshmen and new students were in
vited las night to secure application
blanks for the Senate from the YMCA
office any time.this week before Fri
day.
Graham Memorial Flooded
By Unconnected Radiators
-s
The arrival of the first brisk au
tumn weather yesterday was accom
panied by only one misfortune as two
unconnected radiators flooded the three
floors of the Graham Memorial Stu
dent Union with a half -inch of boiling
water.
Students entering the Union at 9:30
yesterday morning were confronted
with the sight of steaming water rip
pling out the front doors, the front
foyer completely covered by the rust
colored liquid and water cascading
down the right staircase.
The main lounge, called the "most
beautiful paneled room in Chapel Hill,"
had taken on the semblance of a shower
room. The steaming water dripping
from the ceiling and oak beams onto
the furniture and rugs below and only
the quick work of the Director, stu
dents present and the janitors rescued
the expensive couches and piano from
being scalded.
The flood started on the second
floor from the outlets of two radiators
in the former TAR HEEL room which
soon inundated the second floor, start
ed going through the floor to the
Lounge and began running down the
stairs. Most unfortunate was that this
room, was the only one on the floor to
be painted shortly before. The newly
sanded and waxed floor seems to be
due for another overhauling since the
flood. The radiators had been discon
nected when the TAR HEEL room was
being painted and they were to be re
installed earlier this week by the Uni
versity Buildings Department.
The requisition from the Union to
have the radiators reinstalled was sent;
by the Union Director, Henry Moll, the
first part of the week with an admoni
tion of a flood unless they were con
nected before the University heating
system was turned on. The sudden
brisk weather and opening of the heat
ing system were the cause of the mis
fortune, but is was not until it had oc
cured that the long-due plumbers ar
rived at the Union. No estimate has yet
been made of the damage, but it seemed
considerable yesterday morning.

afternoon at a six-man session of the
legislature's ways and means commit
tee. Speaker W. J. Smith said the most
important amendment will provide for
an extensive reshuffling of member
ship clauses of the constitution. Several
members no longer have dormitories to
represent, many town students are
without representation and many legis
lature members have moved to new
quarters. . T !.!'"' 'r "
v.. f QuIck action" is needed on the bill,
Smith said, to that the legislature
can resume its business as soon as pos
sible. Half the student body must vote
to pass the membership amendment.
Second amendment would allow a
vote of three-fourths of the legislature
to pass a constitutional amendment.
A suggestion for an amendment al
lowing a majority of the student body
to override legislature action will be
discussed at today's meeting.
The committee's bills will be intro

Naval Cadets
Call for Coeds
To Attend Hop
Naval Pre-Flight Cadets will hold
the first dance of the year in Woollen
Gymnasium from 8:30 to 11:15 Sat
urday night, it was announced yester
day. Coeds who want blind dates for the
dance should see Hilda Weaver in the
YMCA from 10 to 11 o'clock and from
2 to 5:30 today. Coeds will go to the
dance formal and are requested to
wear name tags which they will have
to furnish. Cadets will call for all
dates.
The colored Navy band will furnish
the music. The band played at the
Sound and Fury show last week and
were enthusiastically received by the
students.
There will be six officer marshals
headed by Lt. Frank Gillespie, six
cadet marshals, and twelve coed mar
shals headed by Ditzi Buice.
The sponsors of the dance expect at
least 800 stags and they urge that as
many coeds as possible sign for dates.
Town girls, who are not University
students, and who want to go should
see Hilda Weaver in the YMCA to
day. A coed was appointed in each dormi
tory to see that every girl gets a date
and to pair cadets and girls suitably.
The girls appointed are: Spencer,
Mary Lou Troslow; Alderman, Sarah
Niven; Mclver, Gwyn Campbell;
Kenan, Margaret Scott; Town and
Archer, Hilda Weaver.
First Sunday Night Session
To Be Full of Surprises
The first of a new series of enter
tainment, the Sunday Night Session,
will be inaugurated this Sunday at 8
o'clock, it was announced yesterday
by Hurst Hatch, chairman of the Com
mittee responsible for the show.
Stressing the fact that the show may
get a nation-wide hook-up over the
Mutual Broadcasting. System, Hatch
said that two station representatives
will be on hand to view the show and
decide on its fate. The full coopera
tion of the student body in coming and
joining in the fun will be necessary
for the show to be a complete success.
The entertainment will consist of
community singing, short plays, acts
of all kinds, and general entertainment.
"There will not be a dull moment for
those who come and the students may
be assured the show will be worth the
time," said Hatch.
The idea sprang from the fact that
since there are so many students on the
campus over the weekends now, an hour
of real entertainment each Sunday
night would be very helpful toward
chasing away the Sunday night blues.
. Full credit must go to the Social
Committee who have helped a great
deal toward putting the show through,
and to Henry Moll, director of Gra
ham Memorial, who is to furnish the
music for the group singing.
Again Hatch said that for the pro
gram to be aired nationally, the stu
dents must be there with lots of spirit.
Mutual has an hour free each Sunday
night and thought the idea of a com
plete college show would be great if
successful.
All students who wish to be in the
show must see either Hatch or Moll in
the office of Graham Memorial Fri
day afternoon or Saturday.
Two of the main features of the
show will be the University Quartet and
a "dynamic and stupendous surprise"
which Hatch refused to disclose but
added that is would almost "floor the
students with delight."
