"Our political problems are India's own, not Great Britain's or anyone eise s. lhe key to the solution is not in British hands, but in ours." "I am not arguing the British case. l am speaking as an Indian. I say that we need time and dispassionate discussion to produce an autonomous government." Bajpai presented the case of three conflicting forces in India: the Con gress party, the Moslem league and the Indian princes, the first wanting unified autonomous government, the second wanting such a government only on the condition that separate states be established and the third wantine- 'political assimilation into British rule. India can not have a provisional government for the duration unless these three forces compromise over political issues and personal animosi ties," the IRC speaker maintained. During his address Bajpai reviewed India's political and military history, traced British rule, and presented a view of Indian economic resources. He boasted of India's army of 1,500,000, biggest volunteer army of modern his tory. Few peoples of the world realize that there are more Indian divisions on every war theater than Canadian, See BAJPAI, page 4 in the various student residences will gather students to join the parade.

In Bajjai's opinion, religious fac tors have no part in political arrange ments for reshuffling India's govern ment.

"So side-splitting and terrific it can be guaranteed to make even dramatic critics care for the theatre. Just when it is threatening to make you scream with terror, it compels you to scream with laughter." That's what the New York Post cri tic has to say for "Arsenic and Old Lace." The two old ladies, who have resorted to mercy killing to eliminate their boarders from loneliness, are played by Elizabeth .Trotman and Catherine Cooke. William Chichester, who plays Teddy Brewster, thinks he's Teddy Roosevelt, and makes frequent appear ances with his bugle, and announces his Panama Canal in the cellar of the Brewster home. Officers Klein, Bro- phy, and O'Hara are played by Robert Epstein, Lee Zimmer, and Kichard Rosrers respectively. Louise Piatt is Elaine Harper, the vivacious fiancee of Mortimer Brewster played by Arthur Golby. Her father, the Reverend Doctor Harper is very much against their mar riage because Mortimer resorts to the lowly vocation of dramatic critic for the newspapers. This part is portray ed by Edgar Bowers. Arthur Conescu impersonates Bela Lugosi impersonat ing Jonathan, the gentile killer trying hard to chalk up a better score in the way of victims than his sweet old aunts, who have a mere 12 cadavers buried in the cellar.

No comment was made by the State delegation regarding his whereabouts from last Saturday until today. They promised to return the -ram as soon as found and did just that, stated Carmichael Vegetable-dyed red on the face and blue amidships, Rameses is "in e-ood condition" having had wonderful treatment while he was in State hands. It is reported that he was fed a balanced diet of greens, bran and mash. When last seen he was "gamboling on the green" little worse for his ramnapping escapade. When asked if there was any chance of napping Rameses again, Hogan re plied that he would "let go with some buckshot" and ask questions later. Tentative plans call for the cheer leaders to arrange with Hogan to re lease the ram for the giant pep rally planned for the State game. University officials pointed out that the return of Rameses did not mean that the situation existing between the two schools had quieted down.

Perrv. soeakine" on I w - .a. , 1 . . opeciai preparation in University courses for military choices," and Harry Comer will act as moderator. The topic will be of interest to all freshmen, especially due to the cur rent interest in the 18-19 year draft bill, pending passage in Congress. An open discussion will follow and all who wish to ask questions will be given an opportunity to do so. The Council pursues an active pro- i gram through weekly meetings in the ui benate hall in Old West, althoue-h this meeting will be held at 7:30 in trerrard hall in order to accommodate the extra visitors. It is the onlv exclu sively freshman organization on the campus, and frequently engages in off- campus and intercollegiate activity, ex changing visits with the freshman councils of the Woman's mil Greensboro, Duke. State, and else where. A nationwide movement by state university presidents to establish train ing corps in colleges and universities was given additional support by Dean K. 5. House at the national associa tion of state universities in their Chi cago meeting this past weekend. Representing the University in place of Dr. Frank Graham who is in Wash ington, House cast an affirmative vote to the resolution adopted by the visit ing delegates. As proposed by the association, the move would allow high school students or those with equivalent preparation. who meet competitive standards Quotas determined by the armed forces, to en ter colleges and secure necessarv . . ... training with pay. These students would be clothed in service uniform, fed, and regularly paid. If accepted, the resolution would enable students, no matter what their economic status, to secure sufficient training which would prepare them to serve in some force most effectively. This new plan will be submitted bv the American council of education to the Army and Navy. The association See HOUSE, page 4 A new-found speed was evident last night when the student legislature en dorsed the Carolina Workshop, agreed to "assist it with funds as much as it is feasible," set a date for Freshman elections and adjourned one hour later. Nominations for all four class of ficers and representatives to the leg islature will be held in chapel on Tuesday, November 3, with the first day of voting set for the following Thursday. Entire arrangements for voting in cluding tabulation, announcement and supervision of the usual runoffs will be conducted by the student council. Second major action of the evening was the unanimous recognition of the newly formed CWC as an integral part of the campus. The bill, as drawn up by Willie Long and Dick Adler, designates the council as the "official integrating and sponsoring agency" for the various creative art depart ments and fields at the University. Due to the successful presentation of the workshop's spring festival last year which was attended by major creative art leaders from the East, no opposition was voiced. Statements from the bill termed the plan an "outlet for student effort in the creative arts," and a means of "scheduling entertainment" which would eliminate waste of facilities, effort and money due to duplicate pro grams. Minor business of the evening in. eluded the election of Robert Stock ton to Sergeant-at-arms and Reed Thompson as & holdover member. Thompson was one of the freshman representatives last year and is now secretary of the sophomore class. A further explanation of the Caro lina Workshop bill calls for a coun cil, composed of one faculty member and two student members elected by See LEGISLATURE, page 4 Juniors Decide Nomination Date For Class Officers Nominations for vice-president of the junior class must be in by Sunday night, Mike Carr, president of the class stated yesterday.

University Band To Rehearse Today All members of the Universitv band must be present at a marching re hearsal with instruments at Intra mural field No. 1 at 5:15 p. m. today. By Sara Yokley Carpenters moved into, the Horace- Williams lounge of Graham Memorial yesterday to carry out the plans for its conversion into a social room. In a week or ten days the room will be, according to Director Henry Moll, a commodious place for all students to dance, play the piano, talk and have a good time at a minimum cost. It will be open at all times that the building is open and will also be used for small receptions and other meet ings to which it is acceptable. It is our hope that when completed the new social room will be one of the most inviting spots on the campus." The remodeled room, to be parti tioned from the main hall of the building by French doors, will meas ure 23 and one-half by 27 feet. The counters and small swinging doors that now form the entrance to the lounge will be torn completely out. Decorating for the new social room will be from the ground up. Green linoleum will cover the entire floor and a green rug to match will be placed over half the floor. Through out the room will be new leather fur niture, couches and deep leather chairs. The walls of the room will be paint ed to blend in with the furniture, rugs and linoleum. About six feet from the floor a molding will be built to go completely around the interior of the room. Around the molding 75 framed pictures, measuring 11 by 14 inches, are to be hung. These pictures will represent campus scenes, football players, famous visitors and BMOC's of Carolina. Venetian blinds and new draperies will hang at the windows. All light ing will be fixed to blend in with the rest of the room. In the right hand corner a built-in trophy case will display the trophies that have been won by the University during the past year. The nickelodian now in Graham Me morial will be installed in the social room as well as a piano. The Horace Williams lounge and the picture of Carolina's former pro fessor will be moved upstairs to last year's Tab Heel office.
