Note: This is the second in a series of three articles by BdUj Carmichael III, former chairman of the Publications Board, in an attempt to acquaint the campus with the facts on the stu dent block fee $etup, and means by which the problem can be solved.)

Publications, which had just taken a $6,000 beating for the first year of operation, was heading for an additional $9,000 butchering in the second year and this is how it happened: In the winter of 1948 when the second block fee budget was being prepared, it became slightly obvious to student government through the constant rumblings of Publications that some steps toward economy would have to be taken in the new budget. If Publications thought the budget was overestimated, aid the" Legis- lators, then would Publications lead the way in taking a cut for the coming year. So the Publications Board voluntarily took a O frf 1 ' V i c mirn innnnf lie Then came the panic of the spring and the Legislature's mad j a nt Wnm.n Vnt.

That chopped another $6,000 off Publications' income, making a total loss of $9,000 the Publications Board had suffered over the previous year. That also made operation of Publications on their current basis impossible. Publications had a few trump cards and at this point they played them. If such a cut was made, Publications would be stripped bare of all the frills, and "Li'l Abner". and the crossword puzzle would be the first to go. The Legislature stopped in its tracks, wondering if itould risk this obvious play for public sentiment on the campus. Then the lawmakers played their own ace. Why couldn't Pub lications finance their deficit for the coming year out of their famous (or infamous) surplus? It stood then at some $13,500. Why couldn't it be used? Publications answered the question of its surplus exactly as it answers it today: 1. The surplus must be maintained as a protection against such mishandling as was made by student government in the first year of block fee operation. Had Publications followed the blind lead of student government that year and taken no precautions against obvious overestimate, its surplus would have been reduced to $7,500 in that single year.

Soon To Ask For Injunction On UAW Miners PITTSBURGH, Jan. '17 Ihe - spreading strike of more than 81,000 soft coal miners bit into the nation's steel production today amid Signs the government soon may seek a court order against John L. Lewis. Coal shortages, which already have curtailed railroad service, threatened to close 300 big Pitts burgh area industrial plants by cutting off electrical power. . ' General Counsel Robert Den- ham of the National Labor re lations Board indicated he may ask tomorrow or Thursday for a court order against the three-day week which Lewis fixed for miners last July 1. Coal operators have filed charges of unfair labor practices against Lewis. They say the short work week is the United Mine Worker president's way of controlling production. Steel production at the nearby Midland,' Pa., plant of Crucible Steel Company of America was reduced 25 per cent. A thousand of the firm's 13,000 workers were laid off. A company spokesman blamed the "no contract no work" coa! strike. He predicted larger lay offs within days unless coal pro duction improves.

Republic Steel Corporation plans -:tcr Teduce" blast" furnace operations Monday. The Wheel ing Steel Corporation said it will have to close in two weeks un less it gets more coal.

The recital is open to the public. By Don Maynard j The physiogonomy of Osborne Bennett Hardison, Jr., graduate student of Washington, D. C, is serenely resting daily in Chan cellor R. B. House's outer office but he's taking a terrific beat ing. Better known as "O.B." to those familiar with him, Hardison's likeness is a bust created by Sculptor Louis Segovia as his impression of what Christ looked like as a young man. The Chan cellor received the clay creation last year as a gift of the sculptor. And O. B.'i'n that year has been distorted, poked, mauled and been the victim of a false rumor. A student was accused a few months ago of yanking O. B.'s nose off. An investigation was hcldv and investigators finally proved that he hadn't been touched. It was simple, they merely looked at the bust's pro boscis. It was in fine shape. A little longer than it once was, but that's another part of this story. O. B.'s chin is a bit more cleft than sculptor Segovia intended through the artistry of a clean ing woman. It happened one day as she was sweeping the office O. B-, still a softie, was, socked by the end of a mop handle she was wielding on the floor. The cleft joined the scars and fingerprints of those folk from Missouri who didn't believe he was made of clay. But O. B. is a bit drooped, now, iie can't stand the heac, ana ib slowly developing a forehead somewhat similar to that of the Neanderthal man. His nose, too, is somewhat elongated. As one sympathizer punned "He won't be clayable to take much more." pus will help coordinate discussion. Topics for the participants' consideration are: Reasons for ndividual Faith and Belief; The Non-Believer and Moral Faith vs. Faith in God and Jesus; The Failure of the Christian Church in Dealing with the Individual; Drinking and the Christian Stu dent; What the Christian Indi vidual Owes to Society in rela tion to his God. Community Goals for the Siu dent; Institutional Achievements in Building the Christian "Whole Man"; JIow a Student Functions in Choosing and Living a Voca tion; Religion in Courtship, Mar riage, and the Family; The Threat of Communism and Ma terialism to the Christian World.

Nine-Man Council Would Administer Summer Functions By Roy Parker, Jr. A provision for a nine-man summer school Student Coun cil, with sweeping executive and judicial powers, will be the chief change in the new student Constitution being prepared by the Constitution al Revision Committee, stu dent body President Bill Mackie said yesterday. Mackie at the same time re leased the Committee's tentative plan for getting the revised "su preme law of the campus" ap proved by campus voters. The "streamlined" constitution which the committee has been preparing will be essentially the same document that has been the campus law since the spring of 1946. It will include all its ma jor provisions, but with revamped language, and with present amendments written into the section to which they apply. The summer school article would set up a Student Council, composed of an Acting President, seven others. The body would have the power to levy and col lect summer school fees, approp riate them, establish subsidary organs of student government, and make laws necessary for the conduct of summer school gov ernment, i Judicially, the Council would be the appellate board for decis ions of the Men's and Women's Honor Councils, and the Inter dormitory and Interfratcrnity Council courts. Plans npw, Mackie said, are for the Committee to present the revised constitution to the Stu dent Legislature by early Feb ruary. It will up to the solons as to how they will debate and vote on the text. The document then would go to the voters for judgement in the spring general election. Just what the voting proce dure, both in the Legislature and the general election, will" be, has not been decided as yet, Mackie asserted. Simple amendments to the Constitution must be approved by majority of the Legislature and fwo-lhirds of those voting in the election. The present Constitution was ratified after a simple majority of the Legisla ture and of those voting approved it. "Whether such a revised docu ment, would be considered as an amendment, or as an entire new student Constitution, is not yet clear at this time." Mackie ex plained. Forgetful SHELBY, Jan. 17 Dr. Franz Polgar, hypnotist and lelepath ist, who has provided plenty of laughs for Carolina students during his two visits to the Uni versity campus, provided his audience with one laugh that he would probably like to for get. The occasion was a Shelby Executives Club meeting whera Polgar was presenting his "Mir acles of the Mind" show. The mental wizard had no trouble in finding his fee which had been hidden in a piano prior to his arrival, but was a little embarassed afterward when ha confessed that he had gone to three different places before he could find where his appear ance was scheduled. ...... ..
