Contributions will go to WSSF, Athens College, Friends, Care, March of Dimes, and Deported Person's Scholarship. The Campus Chest drive was designed with an eye toward removing these constant calls for money upon the students. However, if the current drive does not prove successful, then there will be a movement to go back to last year's practice of every other week being, dedicated to some relief organ-" ization seeking money. The Legislature's plan of one unified drive is a vast improvement and deserves the full-hearted support of every student this week. The mortey you contribute will be well-used. t Exchange Dinner Plan Grows The idea of fraternity and sorority exchange dinners pppears to be slowly growing on campus. All five of the sororities are participating, in the plan, and several of the fraternities, have shown interest in the plan.' Chi Psi, DKE, Sigma Chi, and Sigma Nu have been the only fraternities to report exchange dinners thus far and are to be commended for doing their bit for improving fraternity relations. The sororities report their exchange dinners were also big suc cesses. . ' fS The exchange dinner plan might well be extended to include dinners between both fraternities and sororities. The Panhellenic Council has ruled out sorority parties for the fraternities, and the exchange dinner idea might well serve as a replacement. The net result is first a broadening of one's acquaintances on campus. Second, many problems involving interfraternity and Panhellenic relations may be worked out, and new ideas picked up by visiting other houses. The YMCA program of after-dinner talks by important state and campus individuals also is gaining "favor. The house-discussion programs met with considerable success last year, and an even wider variety of speakers is available this year. Fraternities and sororities should take advantage of these many opportunities to make the most of college life. CICA Dance Good The Carolina Independent rnmmprif nrl nn its iripn nf hnvinrr a rinnrp in thp Pmp KnnM of Lenoir Hall last night. At ot determining the success which the 1UA met in its a tempt to provide better entertainment for the campus, b at any rate the idea is sound. one taken by CICA are just what this campus needs. As it stands now there is actually very little entertainment of fered to students on weekends. The Pine Room is the perfect setting for an informal campus dance. It would be a good idea if Friday night dances in the Pine Room were made a custom. The CICA indicated that if last night's dance proved a success, then the girls might try it again on another occasion. Actually, it is expecting a little too much of one organiza tion such as the CICA to carry all the load of Friday night entertainment for the student body. The Panhellenic Coun cil might well discuss the possibility of the five sororities participating in these Friday night dances. With a little imagination and initiative, these Friday night affairs could be turned into the campus' favorite dance spot. . One - student overheard in Lenoir Hall this week re marked to a friend that Chapel Hill was the last place he would be found in on the weekend. The remark actually was ridiculous, for there are activities to occupy one's time, studying among other things. However, this student might well devote a little of his weekend time toward meeting his fellow students instead of going back to -his select little group at home. A person this extreme -probably wouldn't stay in Chapel Hill even if Carolina and State were playing basketball and Tex Beneke were playing for a dance after the game. This type has to go back home where he is already well-known and perhaps considered a big shot. But with more dances like the one CICA is giving to night, along with entertainment in the Rendezvous Room and down town establishments, there really is no reason why a weekend in Chapel Hill should be dull. You're only in college for four years. And you may as well meet as many people and get as much out of college life as is possible within four years. . 3Tat Heel .CHUCK HAUSE TAYLOR VADE" Adv.

Our Bob By Bill Kellam "Our" Bob Reynolds has given the voters of this state the op portunity to reject emphatically the last vestiges of isolationism and Dixiecratism. By choosing to run against Senator Frank Graham in the May Senatorial primaries, Reynolds , has called for a showdown between North Carolina liberalism,, as personi fied and led by Dr. Frank, and his own disgusting ' brand of conservatism and reaction. Apparently deciding that . Senator Hoey will continue to , be, more or' less, probably more, of an echo to the Sen ator from, the Eastern section of the stale, a small group of political discontents has de cided to stake their future on on an all-out fight to oust Graham and place this state in the rank ranks of the States Righters, or whatever Rey nolds and his backers stand for. Should Reynolds have chosen to run against Hoey, his and Graham's probable victories would have nullified each other insofar as their votes in the Senate are concerned, but Rey nolds would have lost face ev ery time he and Graham came to verbal grips. Reynolds' 19th century political philosophies don't have a chance against Dr. Frank's intelligent awareness of 20th century one-world foreign relations. There is no question which is the more-qualifi&d man. Just look at their records. Reynolds served in the Senate from 1931 1943 and was noted, or notori ous, during that period as one of the senior house's most out spoken isolationists and reac tionaries. He dropped out of the Senate in 1943 (by refusing to run for re-election) after dis gusting the state by voting against the Postwar Peace Reso lution. Seven years of rest haven't changed or freshened his views. His repainted platform is constructed of the same old isolationistic and usual vote getting platitudes Stales Rights, cessation of all foreign aid. halting of immigration, old age pensions, medical care for the aged, and lower taxes. . ' Dr. Frank, however, has won the admiration and respect of even the professional Washing ton cynics. " His integrity and ability have moved arch-critic Drew Pearson to devote to Dr. Frank a most complimentary supplement to The Washington Merry-Go-Round last month. Reynolds threat to Graham's election has been aptly summed up by Governor Scott. "Rey nolds is a showman, don't for get that He's not to be discount ed." It is encouraging to note the general opposition to Rey olds voiced in the state news papers. His home town paper. The Asheville Citizen, stated the situation well. "This op- portunist will wage a type of campaign that could be most destructive to the best inter ests of North Carolina and America. The artfully design ed platform reads like the per fect emotional ' prescription for tRe manufacture of confu sion ai)d trouble." Reynolds' isolationism is un fathomable. His opposition to the- continuation of Marshall Plan aid is not only stupid, but it could be fatal to this nation. Our financial grants to the shat tered European countries have facilitated their reconstruction immeasurably. It has halted the spread of communism in Europe. Yet he would have us hand over these countries to the Russians. We might save a few dollars at first, but we'd lose our lives in the end. Reynolds rationalizes his way out of this by declaring: "There was never such a term as iso lationism. It was a smear word coined against those who be lieved we should follow the ad vice of George Washington and look after our own affairs first." The world's affairs, are now "our own affairs." The Atlantic Ocean is no longer a political and ' physical barrier behind which we can isolate ourselves. Dr. Frank realizes this, and in him our hope lies. AN SST;rrf TT " 'rj - Columbia Increases Lead Columbia, taking long strides these past three months .to in crease its. commanding lead in LP repertory, has recently re leased a particularly noteworthy recording; the BEETHOVEN SYMPHONY NO. 3 in E flat Major, played by he New York It's Hillarious - by Zane Robbins With all the hemming and hawing that's currently going on around campus concerning the proposed Campus Chest beauty contest, it might be well to refer to the whole thing as the Campus Jest. If the drive nets as much money as it has iaughs its certain to be a roaring suc cess. Seems the Tar Heel dribble artists are back on the winning trail. After a slow start, the Scottmen have perked up to win six of their last seven games, the only loss in the lot being a heartbusting 61-57 "loss to the Cow College's Hoosiers. The lo cals' season record now stands at 11-6, 7-3 within the loop, and the team seems a shoo-in for a berth in the conference tour ney. Carolina, incidentally has fallen under the .50(fmark for a season only once in. the past 38 years. Disaster struck back in '39 when the cagers could manage only a 10-11 record. They outscored their oppon ents at that, rolling up a total of 818 points to 804 for the foes. The Orville Campbell-Hank Beebe ' song writing duo has come up with another hit. The "All The Way Choo Choo" com bo calls their newest ditty "There You Are," and music . critics say it can't miss. Freddy Martin who heard it for the first time when he was here last quarter includes it in practically every program, and has recent ly recorded it for Victor. "Mr. Words" Campbell terms the tune a "sentimental ballad." The Student Party has been kicking up quite a fuss about the University Party's new dormitory representation pro gram.' Despite the consistent . howls, most people are taking the whole mud-tinted campaign wilh a grain of salt. The crown ing blow , however, came a couple of days back when a misplaced DTH headline slug - sneaked into the head describ ing the SP's blast. The line read, "Playmaker's Comedy."

' " Graham, by the way, has been prominently mentioned as a candidate for the Democratic legislative ticket in the next Presidential election. Those in the know contend that Truman might pick the Tar Heel as his '-running mate in '52. In the event that Truman shoukl decline a hird - term nomination, Dr. F'rank is a leading candidate for ! the big man's post. The. reason for such talk is : simple. Graham, aside from the fact thai he is a staunch ; administration supporter, could help swing the rebel ' lious Dixiecrats back into the ' Democratic fold, insuring the Dems once again of a "Solid South." . The Carolina Playmakers are all. set to follow up their what-does-it-mean? "Tread the Green Grass" with a review of "Oc ?tober in the Spring."

' delphia), to take advantage of the rapprochement between its only great conductor and the NY Philharmonic; which was precipitated by the uneasy in terim following the Judson Rodzinski break of early 1947. The fact that Walter, in addi tion to his musical ability, has been able to get a consistently musical sound out of the recal citrant Philharmonic has been a happy one for Columbia. Not satisfied with a 1941 version, the Columbia engi neers have made of this new recording a technical master piece, their best LP to date. The balance and clarity is su perb, equal to the best of the London FFRRs; although still lacking the tremendous body and depth of some of the Lon don sides. Certainly it is a tremendous improvement over the earlier version, and much better than the London De Sabata recording. This is the fourth recording by this team of Beethoven sym phonies to appear this year, be ing preceded by the First, Fifth, Eighth, and Ninth, (Walter's version of the Sixth with the Philadelphia appearing several years ago), and they are all ex cellent. Walter is one of the four or five great conductors of our time, and stands up well in this series in comparison with Tos canini, who is becoming to Bee thoven what Pinza is to Mozart opera. Walter "makes music" better than Toscanini, he gets a better orchestral sound, he has a- sense of lyricism which gives his performances a won derful singing flow throughout particularly with solo lines; and certainly his conception of a work is on as noble a scale as any. Unfortunately, he is also a sloppy executionist, which may be along the line of the Pre ferable Error, but is still un-. fortunate. Also, this symphony is probably Toscanini's best ef fort in Beethoven literature, which sets an exacting standard indeed. . If there is any prerequisite to the satisfactory performance of the Beethoven symphonies of which Toscalnini is more cognizant, it is a rhythmic in civeness; and it has nothing to do with tempo, but is pure-' ly stylistic. Otherwise, any contrasts be tween these two conductors is a question, not of ability or pur pose, but of concept and ap proach. And Walter's lengthy as sociation with the Philharmonic has given us a very great and very rare opportunity that of observing and absorbing two of the greatest interpretive powers ,xf our -day performing some of the greatest and most challeng ing works in the symphonic medium. DREW PEARSON on The WASHINGTON MERRY-GO-ROUND mSLi hi iiil WASHINGTON. It seems a far cry from the Civil , Rights issue in the South to the Public Power question in Montana, but the story has just leaked out as to how a coalition of Re publicans and Dixiecrats killed the Civil Rights Program in the Senate a year ago. The deal was engineered by the Montana Power and Light Co., and illustrates how certain GOP maneuverings between elections help to lose elections on election day. Key figures in this historic deal discreetly referred to as a "voting arrangement" were smooth, shrewd Sen. Dick Russell of Georgia; Ne braska's gregarious Sen. Ken Wherry, the GOP Floor lead er; and Jack Corrette of Mon- tana Power and Light, who coached the anti-public Power team in the Senate. The first "contact" was made when Senator Russell approach ed colorless Sen. Zales Ecton of Montana last March, at which time the Senate was fighting oyer a cloture rule aimed at stopping a Civil Rights fili buster. Ecton then called in Wherry and pledged enough Republican votes to override Vice Presi rent Alben Barkley's anti-filibuster rule provided Russell would deliver Southern votes to beat a government plan to run a transmissiqn line from the government's Kerr Dam to Ana conda, Mont. Montana Power' and Light wanted to run these transmission lines itself, was vigorously opposed to govern ment operation. ( Result of all this was thai Wherry delivered 19 votes ic Senator Russell though . ii should be stated that some GOP Senators did not know of the "voting arrangement."

For, by the time the ap propriation for the Kerr-Ana-conda line came before the Sen ate in August, the deal had boon discovered by three inquisitive pro-public Power Senators Al bania's Lister Hill, Hearty Bob Kerr of Oklahoma, and fiery Wayne Morse of Oregon. At the time the three Sena tors made their discovery, Pow er mogul Corrette and Senator Wherry had the votes to beat the transmission line. But a special emergency meeting was , quickly called by -the Public Power Senators in an unmarked ' room a few feet from the Sen ate Chamber. Oscar Chapman, then Under secretary of the Interior, and White House Assistant Charlie Murphy rushed up to the meet ing and a new strategy was outlined. Alabama's Hill per suaded Southern Senators to be absent when the Kerr-Anacon-da line came up. He reminded them they had only promised not to vote for a government power line. But they were not pledged to vote. Oregon's Morse urged the same "absent" strate gy on moderate Republicans. Result: the government transmission line was approved. Only six Southern Senators were on hand to vote against it Byrd, Va Ellender, La., Holland, Fla., McCellan, Ark., Robertson, Va., and Russell. Note 1 Republican failure to vote for cloture against a Civil Rights filibuster will probably cost the Grand Old Party more Northern votes in the next half dozen years' than other single issue.
