At IDC Meet
Twenty-one men were inaug
urated as men's dormitory presi
dents Monday night to swell the
ranks of the Interdormitory Coun
cil to 48 members.
The dorm presidents were
recently elected in the campus
voting which brought 1,463 men
to the polls for the primaries and
986 men voting in the runoff.
This was the first meeting of
the new council, though last year's
council met in session earlier
this fall. Alter having been duly
sworn in by Brooks Patton, Di
rector of the Wesley Foundation,
the council voted unarf nously to
to accept the results of the recent
election.
Members of the administration
and faculty were introduced by
IDC President Pete Gems as
those "with whom we will have
to work so closely." Presented to
the assembled members were C.
E. Teague, University Business
Manager; Ass't Dean of Students

Housing Director; Director of In

Road Works
RALEIGH, Oct. 11 OP) The
State Highway Commission to
day advertised for bids on 201
miles of road work in 16 counties
as part of the State's $20,000,000
rural road program.
Ten projects involving 54 miles
of road work, but not under the
rural road program, also were
put up for bid. All bids will be
opened Oct. 15.
Most of the work will be done
on road already announced for
hard-surfacing under the bond
program by Highway Division
commissioners. In some cases, the
projects involve black-topping of
several sections of roads in one
individual county.

Playmakers Burdened
With New Concertina
By Mark Sumner
Does anybody want to buy a
practically new button style con
certina? That will probably be the
way the advertisement reads after
the Carolina Playmakers finish
their performances of Kayteyev's
comedy, "Squaring the Circle."
After advertising for the con
certina and phoning all the music
stores from Raleigh to Greens
boro for anyone who would rent
the necessary musical instrument
last week, the Playmakers could
not find one. They phoned The
atre Production Service in New
York for help, but TPS could not
locate one in time for rehearsals.
At the end of their search; the
Playmakers still did not have
the concertina, since nobody in

girl was late for coed hours be
cause of the incident.
In another case, a student
turned in by a classmate for
cheating got exonerated when the
Council heard his testimony that
he had simply been using a note
book to write on, rather than to
copy notes from. The defendent
asserted . that the prosecution
witness had a "grudge" against
him.
A student who said that "unin
tentional peripheral vision" caus
ed him to look at a quizmates
answers didn't get off, however.
He was indefinately suspended.
Testimony was that he had come
in late for the quiz, had borrow
ed the question sheet of the man
beside him, and had copied the
man's answers, instead of the
questions.
The defendent admitting get
ting some help from his neigh
bor's paper, but said that his type
of "corner-of-the-eye" vision made
him unintentionally look at the
paper. He said the sunlight shin
ing through a door made it hard
for. Jiim .not tojoofc at the paper.
According to the instructor, there
were similarities in 18 .of the 25
answers on the two quizzes.
The Council, in suspending the
defendent, put a recommendation
of merit on his judgement be
cause of his "commendable action"
before the body in admitting his
mistake in copying the neigh
bor's paper.
A student's request for rein
statement was the fourth case
handled by the Council. He was
reinstated. Convicted for cheat
ing on a quiz, he had denied the
charge on trial, but told the
Council in his request that he
"realized his mistake," and as
serted that, "I will work to be
a worthwhile campus citizen."
The Council is now up to full
judicial strength with Chairman
Roy Holsten 'sitting officially, with
the body. Holsten resigned from
the Student Council to take the
job vacated by Bruce Sanborn.
He was tentatively elected to the
chairmanship of the body before
the Student Legislature approved
of his appointment, waited two
weeks for the solons to vote. A
special session called to consider

who plays the instrument in
"Squaring - the Circle," was be
ginning to think that he would
have to learn to play the piano.
Salvation came in the form of
a Sears, Roebuck Catalogue, when
someone discovered that the style
of concertina called for in the
script was listed there. The con
certina was rushed from Greens
boro and will be in use when
the show opens next Tuesday
night.
The concertina, which probably
will not be needed in another
play for years, will be a liability
after the play closes, rather than
an asset, so the Playmakers are
wondering what to do with it.
Does anybody want to buy a
concertina?

Of the South Carolina threat
Snavely says that at times he was
afraid of an upset. He pays tri

were expected to be off some

everything considered they play

Carolina strategist prpises the

will not be sufficient to get us
by Notre Dame". -
"We're aiming to get the quar

Thompson Hits
Article In Mag
As 'Malicious'
Caldwell, McGraw
Get Nomination
For Solon Posts
By Bob Hennessee
Student Partv Chairman
Fred Thompson yesterday pro
posed a campus referendum
"to abolish Tarnation Maga
zine" because of an article in
the latest issue which he term
ed "malicious and vicious and
a lot of other things."
Thompson, speaking "for my
self and not for the Student
Party," said he would like to
see the referendum establish a
combination literary and humor
ous Carolina Magazine. He said
he was planning a meeting with
the University and Campus Party
chairmen to discuss the matter.
The SP chairman first attacked
the bantam mag at the regular
meeting of the Student Party
Monday night. That meeting, call
ed to make recommendations for '
two presidential appointments to
the Student Legislature, saw
Dolly Caldwell and Walter Mc-
Craw get the nominations.
Thompson stepped down from
the chair to criticize Tarnation
Editor Tom Kerr for the profile
on Orientation Committee Chair
man Al Lowenstein in the first
Tarnation issue of the 1949-50 aca
demic year.
"Kerr has resorted to malicious
lies," Thompson charged, "in ad
dition to Honor and Campus Code
violations in his attempt to slan
der Al Lowenstein, discredit the
orientation program and embar
rass the Student Party."
Editor Kerr last night replied
to the blast by saying, "I wish
the Daily Tar Heel wouldn't steal
such good humor material as the
Thompson story. I am sending
three of my loyal staffers immed
iately to make a deal with Mr.
Thompson. I want his services
at any cost."
The Student Party leader point
ed out yesterday that he wanted
the referendum action to be a
three-party affair and not just
an SP move. Lowenstein was not
present at the meeting Monday
night when Thompson first made
the charges against the Tarnation
story.
Other business at the meeting
was a vote to sponsor an open
freshman nominating convention

SP support in the frosh election
