The blind pianist has been playing ever since he was two years old and can always be counted on for new improvi sations. Templeton Inaugurates SEC Programs Toni Alec Templeton, the pianistic wizard, will appear at Memorial hall to night at 8:30 in the initial program sponsored by the Student Entertain ment Series this year. Templeton started. his career thirty years ago, near. Cardiff, South Wales. When he was hardly two years old he climbed up on the bench of an up right piano, put his hands on the key- board and his fingers crawled awk wardly as he tried to imitate the notes of a nearby church bell. Young Composer At the age of four, he set out to write a masterpiece . . . his first com position which turned out to be a lulla by. - . When he was five, he began to di rect a choir of his playmates and when music was needed for some par ticular occasion, he composed it and taught it to them part by part. He and his family moved to London, and there he sought and obtained in troduction to the leading English mu sicians who unanimously predicted for him a brilliant future. At twelve, he entered the Royal Academy of Music. Follows Jazz He is a close student of modern jazz, which he often satirizes along with his takeoffs on more serious music from the symphony or opera repertoire. He maintains that much modern music can be traced directly to the classic composer, Bach. t The breadth of Templeton's tastes is reflected in his concert and radio programs, where he can swing from See TEMPLETON, page U Honor Council Decisions t Released by Bennett Editor's Note: The following report on Student Council cases and deci sions has been released by Council Chairman Bert Bennett in an effort to remind students of their obligations to the Honor System and to inform them of the way in which the Council works. CASE I Facts : A sophomore enrolled in few davs after classes began, the having missed two Drevious lectures, what the test was about; consequently he received some information from the person sitting next to him. .- . Decision and opinion: He be placed on University probation. This, no doubt, seems to be an extremely light penalty but due to the circumstances involved the Council came to the above decision. This penalty entails more than you might think. A letter is sent home in regard to your be ing placed on probation. Also a person on probation cannot represent the University to any outsiders; in this case the latter clause hurt this boy a great deal. I might also add that in stating these cases in the Tar Heel, the Council cannot give all the facts, for the identity of the person might be divulged. CASE II u a - i Facts: Two students on a Saturday night had too much to drink; con sequently one threw a brick through a glass window of one of our build- m Decision and opinion: Both students were reprimanded with the idea that if this occurred again, the penalty would be twice as severe. The Council hasn't had too much trouble with violations of the campus code. Although we usually warn offenders on their first offense, the result has been very positive that is, we haven't had the same party or parties up twice for the same offense. j Editorial: F-3141.

After checking and balancing the Mag and Y-Y budgets, the board ap proved the big cuts voluntarily sug gested by the staffs. Biggest cut is the reduction in the number of Mag issues for the year from eight to seven. Also, the size of the annual has Keen reduced by 56 pages from last year. Tentative Budget The Daily Tar Heel budget has been approved only until November 26, when the Board will again consider it. Under the present budget there is a 20 per cent engraving cut and a 20-25 per cent cut in salaries. Other drastic cuts are in minor items and overhead. In a new step, the PU board has re served the right to make cuts in the I budgets any time after this quarter I if such a cut is warranted. All budgets have to be approved by the Student legislature before they are finally de termined. Still Six Issues Proposal to reduce the number of Tar Heels printed weekly was shelved for a later date as the Board decided to withhold final action until absolutely necessary. All cuts relative to the daily were necessitated by the fact that student fees dropped 25 per cent together with a 25 per cent drop in advertising, marked up by the business staff. 1 Final student legislative action on the new budgets is expected sometime in November immediately following the decision of that group on the Fees bill. Total amount of the Daily Tar Heel slash is $5,000 which covers "all phases of the paper from crossword puzzles through salaries. Wages of the editor and the managing editor have been re duced considerably. The sports staff and news editors have also suffered un der the change. Salary of the business manager dropped together with the rest of his staff. Little hope is seen by the Tar Heel in having any appreciable sum to spend for news coverage away from home.
