United Press Id G7 Dialectic Senate To Debate New Re sis tration Plan Administration Plots To Revise Procedure By Charlie Gibson Echoes of last year's hottest campus debate will resound through the third floor of New West tonight at 9 o'clock when the Dialectic Senate will discuss the new registration policy soon to be announced for the forthcoming winter and spring terms. A bill to go before the Di at its third meeting of the year states that the Univer sity administration has for mulated another plan of pre registration which may prove highly inconvenient to the student body. Charlie Long, speaker of the Di, emphasized that this is a new grudge battle with other University registrars and not a re-hashing of the set-up which Edwin S. La nier, director of central rec ords office, initiated success fully in the face of wide stu dent criticism last year. Praise for Lanier Long in a release for the cress said: "Bv tha nature of I this bill the Senate in no I H?1"15 suggested -by way condemns tne registra the system present them selves to receive their class tickets on Saturday and Sun day, January .3 and 4, (the first- day of classes being Monday, January 5) presum ably waiting in an outdoor line in midwinter while an attempt is made to process more than 6500 persons in two days, notwithstanding that only .3500 persons were processed under the same procedure in three days the previous quarter, and while these students are liable to a $2.50 late fee for any classes not attended with class tick ets on Monday, January 5." Suggested Improvements However, there are several Ithe Di's bill tion policy followed this fall. We wish to commend the registration committee and especially Mr. Lanier for the efficient way that it was car ried out. The Senate, how ever, does feel that there is room for improvement in reg istration in both policy and procedure, and that is the reason we have chosen this issue for discussion. Our bill is in its entirety constructive and worthy we feel of con sideration by the administra tion and faculty." Invitations to attend the meeting tonight have been sent to Mr. Lanier, Dr. E. C. Markham, chairman of the registration committee, and other personnel concerned with registration. Students who are interested in the is sue are urged, too, to come to the Di hall at 9 o'clock and participate in the argument which is to be open to the floor with free expression of opinion encouraged. Bill Under Consideration The complaint of the bill under consideration is two fold and reads that the new est in registration efforts is to provide as follows: "(1) Preregistration at one and the same time for winter and spring quarters, without any suitable information to the students of the courses designed to be offered, and ,;Virmt Herniate time allow ed for the consideration of 'such information be made the courses offered; I generally available at least one ween ueiure icgibua- tion." "(1) That on this specific occasion, the class tickets of all students be sent to them through the mails, to avoid the congestion inevitable un der the conditions mentioned above, as well as the risk to health, and the use of Sun day for the procedure con templated; "(2) That the registration system of the University be re-organized in such a man ner as to utilize modern ma chines designed for the pur pose, and to function in such a .manner as to accommodate the present large number of students without hardship and inconvenience, there hav ing passed sufficient time for the institution of such meas ures; "(3) That there be appoint ed by the president of the student body to the commit tee on registration at least two members of the student body to represent the inter ests and views of the students and to present the possible difficulties of students to that committee; "(4) That the custom of publishing, well in advance, a schedule of courses to be offered in a given quarter, to gether with the name of the instructor expected to teach it, the hour of the course, and a summary of the curriculum, be re-established and that - - But Bill Is Proposed To Clear NSA Group By Bill Sexton A student government already torn by disputes over the coed visiting agreement and Student council's appellate jurisdiction faces another thorny case following the an nouncement yesterday that Sam Daniels, secrctary-treas- urer of the student body, would file charges against the SAINT JOAN by George Bernard Shaw, whlcn is tielng presented by the Carolina Playmakers Wednesday through Sunday nights at 8:30 for the first time on a North Carolina stage.

Playmakers' licket Sales ( Saint Joan' Opens lonigkt; Warrant Extra Performance Coupled with the opening of the Carolina Playmakers production of George Ber nard Shaw's "Saint Joan" at 8:30 tonight, John W. Parker, business manager, announced that the play will be held over for an extra perform ance, due to the heavy de mand for tickets, and will be presented again Sunday night. Original plans called for the play to be presented for a four night run, October 29, 30, 31, and November 1, but late yesterday Mr. Parker discovered that only a few tickets for each of the four scheduled nights remained unsold. Reservations for tickets have come from several other towns, including Sanford, Durham, Burlington, Greens boro, and Raleigh, and the small supply of tickets will not be enough to fill the de mand, which is the heaviest in several years. Mr. Parker said, "We still have tickets for each of the originally scheduled four nights, but not more than twenty for any one night." Tonight's opening perform ance of the play about Joan of Arc, considered to be one of the great modern classics, will be the first time that the show has been staged in North Carolina. Tonight's performance is being dedi cated to Dr. Archibald Hen derson, official Shaw biogra pher and head of -the Univer sity mathematics department. Dr. Henderson will be guest of honor at a dinner at the Carolina Inn before the pro duction, and a special pro gram honoring him will be held in the theatre before the curtain goes up. Scene designer Lynn Gault and shop foreman Gordon Bennett have turned out a setting for the play which they consider, "something new."

The other group, having Student Council To Air IFC Case; Session Tonight In a meeting sparked by stu dent body President Tom Eller's remarks on the student constitu tion, the Student council decided Monday night that they would hear the ease of the jurisdiction al powers of the Interfraternity council this evening. Aside from Eller, severai oth er people were invited to pre sent tiieir views at the meeting, which turned out to be a pre liminary hearing of the case. Gran Childress, who presented the question to the council, and Easil Sherrili spoke on the fact that the constitution was .being violated by the Interfraternity council trying fraternity viola - '$u3tti39jSe SuirtsiA paoo jo suoij Speaking on behalf of the fra ternities were Leon Todd, presi dent of the Interfraternity coun cil, Barbara Cashion, Tag .Mon tague, and several other interest ed parties. In answer to Sherrill's point that the case being tried invol ved the violation of the letter of the constitution, Tom Eller, quoting from that document, brought forth the view that the Student council did not have the power to sit in judgment over the violation in question in the first place. three U.N.C. delegates to the National Student Association conference. The three Bill Miller, Johnnv Clampitt, and Her man Baker are accused by Daniels of spending student funds on air transportation to the conference at Madison af ter he and other student offi cers directed them to travel by day coach. Daniels has notified the speaker of the legislature that he intends to appsar before the student lawmakers in their session tomorrow evening, presumably to elab orate on his charges against the N.S.A. delegation. Meanwhile, Basil Sherrili, a member of the Legislature's finance committee, said yes terday he would introduce a resolution declaring the leg islature's intention to allow air transport for the delega tion. Legislative Action "The finance committee based the original appropria tion on the cost of airline pas sage, not rail," Sherrili de clared, "and I hope to clear the whole thing up by pass ing a bill making that defi nite." The original N.S.A. bill did not specify what means of transport was to be used. Sherrili said he hoped to get the bill before the Ways and Means committee before Viq lorricloiiro coctrinn in T)i The clause Eller quoted, from , n . : .in,a tt e-: o. ,aa,0 ' hall tomorrow evening, so that it might reach the floor of the legislature for consi deration without delay. The controversial case has arisen over use of student funds on air transportation after Tom Eller, Jack Folger, and Daniels the three stu dent executive officers di rected the N.S.A. delegates to travel by day-coach. El ler, Folger, and Daniels main tained that since the appro priations bill did not specify what transportation was to be used, the executives were empowered to direct use of the funds. Constitutional Point In the student constitution the Secretary-Treasurer is held responsible to "disburse all monies appropriated by the Student Legislature." Ernest House, finance com mittee member who authored the original bill authorizing the N.S.A. aooropriation. said yesterday, "It was definitely my intent and the intent of the committee that the dele gates fly to Madison." article II section 3, reads as fol lows: "The Student council shall have original jurisdiction in all cases involving the constitution ality of any act of the Student Legislature when such act has actually been violated and its constitutionality questioned by the alleged violator." The act in question, it was brought out, is not an act of the Student Legislature but an agreement made between the House Privileges board and the fraternities involved.

"If our foreign policy is to stop Communism," Cooley said last spring after return ing from the Inter-Parliamentary Union conference in Cairo, "we had better stop it in the Black sea, at the Bosphorus, in the sea of Mar mora, or at the Dardanelles, or at some place far distant from our own shores." All men who have been for mally or informally rushed since the beginning of the fall quarter and intend to join a fraternity must report to Me morial hall between 3 and 6 o' clock this afternoon to pick up their bids.
