Di to Discuss
Education Bill
Measure Would Cut
Veterans' Benefits
"Will a reduction in the educational
benefits of the G. I. Bill of Rights solve
the problem of a tremendous over
flow of students facing American uni
versities and colleges?" This question
will be asked on the floor of the Sen
ate of the Dialectic Society at a regular
meetiner tonight. A bill will be intro
duced to recommend to the Congress
of the United States that greater
qualifications be levied upon those
eligible for educational benefits from
the Veterans' Administration and that
a reduction be made in the monthly
payments.
All students and members of the
faculty are invited to the sessions which
will be held in the Di Chamber on tne
third floor of New West Building
Wednesday night at 9 o'clock.
Executive Session
At RVclock. before the regular ses
cmr, tnnteht. the Di will hold an execu-
tive session which all senators are re

At this time, nowever, uic

period between the two agreements.
The HPB will, and still does, retain
all of its authority of inspection and
enforcement.
Final authority for the new agree
ment rests with the House Privileges
Board. It will retain its power to re
voke any agreement that is either un
satisfactory or deliberately violated
and substitute another in its place.

wide Derby finals at Akron, Ohio.

To Give Ballad Concert Tomorrow Evening
Pharmacists
Plan Building
For Institute
Site Selected--"i -By
Mail Ballot
Tentative architect's plans for
new building to house a proposed In
stitute . of Pharmacy in Chapel Hil
are now awaiting the approval of the
membership of the North Carolina
Pharmaceutical Association.
-Plans to raise $100,000 from mem
bers of the pharmacy group to erect,
equip, and maintain the new struc
ture were outlined at a meeting of the
group's council, which ended a two
day session on the campus Monday.
Endowment Planned
T. J. Ham, Jr., of Yanceyville,
chairman of the building project com
mittee, said that half of the fund would
be used to buy land, erect and equip
the building, and that the other half
would go into an endowment to main
tain the building. Funds will be raised
in a campaign conducted, among phar
macists, drug manufacturers, and
wholesalers by an 11-man committee,
and the campaign will stress the use
of memorial plaques.
Style of the- planned structure is
colonial, very similar to that of Gra
ham Memorial. The architect is Mar
ion A. Ham, of Durham. If the plan's
are accepted by the association, they
will be submitted to the Chapel Hill
Planning Association.
Chosen by Mail
Chapel Hill was chosen by a two:
thirds majority of Association mem
bers in a ballot conducted by mail.
According to present plans, the build
ing will have an auditorium seating
200 persons, four offices of the phar
maceutical association, a committee
room, and- a workroom on the first
floor. The second floor will contain
dormitory space to be used by students
in attendance at institute sessions.
Major purpose of the whole project
is to provide a suitable and separate
place where the pharmaceutical as
sociation can conduct schools and in
stitutes for the benefit of druggists
and their assistants on a state-wide
basis. It is also contemplated that the
building might be used by other or
ganizations for similar institutes. ,
Dancing Instruction
Given at Woollen Gym
Dancing instructions will be given
on Monday and Wednesday nights from
7:30 to 9:30 at the Woollen Gym Ter
race, located on the southeast side of
the building, as reported by instructor
Johnny Jones today.
Recreational dancing will be held on
Tuesday and Thursday nights.

Enrollment Hits. Record High
York Cafe Singer, Susan Reed
" By Arnold
Susan Reed, 19-year-old singer of ballads who has recently fin
ished an 11-month run at New York's famed Cafe Society Down
town, has temporarily suspended her North Carolina vacation to
perform for a Graham Memorial concert tomorrow evening at
8 :30 o'clock in Memorial auditorium.
Through a mutual friend, Harry
Davis, student union director Martha
IRiee contacted Miss Reed, who was on
Roanoke Island searching s the sur
rounding country for new ballads for
the coming season, and induced her to
perform on this campus. Although
she did not have her instrument with
her, after a frantic search of Chapel
Hill she managed to find an old zither
which she will repair for the Thurs
day night concert.
Born in South Carolina
Born" in Columbia, South Carolina,
Miss Reed had no idea of becoming
a professional singer. "I've always
liked music," she said, "and have
studied it, but entirely for my. own
personal benefit. I always had delu
sions of becoming a painter."
She was, in fact, studying painting
on a New York scholarship when Bar
ney Josephson, proprietor of Cafe
Society, heard her singing at a party
and signed her on the spot for his

Steering: Committee on Veterans Education
Definitely Plans for Dozen College Centers
By Roy C. Moose
At a special meeting of the steering committee on veterans
college education Monday the committee voted that the Greater
University of North Carolina be accepted as agent for the State
Department of Public Instruction and the N. C. College Confer
ence to administer the proposed "off-
campus college centers in JNortn
Carolina.
Plans were worked out to set up
over a dozen college centers to ac
commodate students who are unable
to enter regular colleges this year be
cause of overcrowded conditions.
Incomplete returns from the July
22 and 23 state-wide registration show
hat over 1100 students havt signed
up for the courses in freshman and
sophomore subjects to be given at the
centers. Of this number there was a
total "of 1,094 white students and 115
Negroes.
Registration Still Open
However, the Extension Division
here announced that registration was
still being carried on and would con-
inue until the term begins in Sep
ember. A great many more students
are expected to enroll before then.
Centers for white students are defi
nitely planned for Asheville, Albe

there, she gained immediate fame be

including Life, Time, Newsweek, and

Mademoiselle as one of the 10 out
standing women of last year.
' ' Enraptures. Audience
In direct contrast to the usual
smoke-filled night club atmosphere,
Susan Reed,' carrot-haired and de
murely dressed, keeps the audience en
raptured as she skips across the floor,
climbs onto a high stool and in a
small, sweet voice sings songs which
she learned from South Carolina
mountaineers or found in the New
York library. ' Though, she sings 20
ballads an evening she seldom repeats
one in a night of three performances.
Her repertoire exceeds over 300 Old
English, Irish and Scottish ballads,
she said. . v

mington, and Winston-Salem. Negro
centers are to be located at Asheville
and Wilmington.
Can Open Immediately
A total of 30 registrants is neces
sary for the establishment of a cen
ter in any community in accordance
with the policies of the steering com
mittee. Since registration is continu
ing until September, many new cen
ters will be set up as soon as the
necessary 30 students enroll.
Faculty for the schools will be
drawn primarily from the local high
schools provided the teachers meet the
UNC requirements for college in
struction which stipulate that three
fourths of the teaching staff must
have a Master's degree or better.
It had been planned to establish a
number of the centers on the campuses
of colleges and universities in the
state, to be called "on-campus" cen
ters, but on the basis of the registra
tion no college came anywhere near
getting a center.

No Hospital Available,
Author Beds Drunkard
In Local Constabulary
James Street, noted author who re
sides in the Westwood section of
Chapel Hill, took time out from -"his
writing recently to become an active
participant in a human interest story
that might be entitled, "Strange Bed
fellows." Street was approached by a "roar
ing drunk" who definitely needed
care. To use Street's wwrds, "he be
longed in a hospital for alcoholics, but
since none exists in this state, I de
cided jail would be the best place to
take care of him for the night."
After convincing the local constabu
lary that he was not crazy and identi
fying himself, the author of "Tk
Gauntlet' decided to spend the night
in jail with the inebriated character
in order to help care for him.
The drunk crawled into bed with no
trouble while jStreet, who intended to
care for his alcholic companion, fell
out of the bed and, "almost cracked
my skull."
