Lady Rings Bell Again Mrs. Spencer s Fight To Be Featured On By Wall Dear "Not only the smartest woman in North Carolina, but the. smart est man, too." These words of Zeb Vance, one time governor of our Tar Heel state, aptly describe Cornelia Phillips Spencer, the woman who "was responsible for reorganizing and reopening the University of North Carolina in 1875.

S. 8th ARMY, KO REA, Jan . 25 (UP) Ranking officers of the U. S. 8th 'Army agreed cautiously today that the Allies held the initiative in Korea for the first time since the start of the abortive end-the-war of fensive just two months ago. It is a limited initiative, de scribed as "holding the edge in a stalemate, according- to the" "es timate of division commanders in the field and competent au thorities in 8th Army Headquart ers. But it is demonstrated by the thrusts of powerful 8th Army patrols from five to 20 miles above the main Allied line, now solidly established 140 miles across Korea. To the north of that line, by official estimate are 350,000 to 400,000 Chinese and North Ko rean troops. And behind the Allied line were some 20,000 to 30,000 guer rilla ; infiltrators and North Ko rean soldiers' by-passed in the Allied sweep northward last autumn. They are hunted more than hunters. Hiding by day and mov ing when they can by night, they are harried by powerful anti guerrilla patrols and scourged by a far-ranging air force.

Air Forces In Europe Are Welded WIESBADEN, Germany, Jan. 24 (JP) American air power in Europe was welded today into a single command for future con trol by Gen. Dwight D. Eisen hower. In a broad reorganization move, U. S. Air Force headquarters in Europe re-activated the war time 12th Air Force to command air power in Germany and Aus tria. The Air Force headquarters, located in Wiesbaden, became the overall director of all units in Europe, the Mediterranean and England. An announcement said the new ultimate location of U. S. Air Force headquarters in Europe would conform to requirements of Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers in Europe (SHAPE). Gen. Eisenhower, the Allied military chief, has not yet selec ted his headquarters, . although observers said it probably would be at Versailles, outside Paris. Air Force officials indicated the headquarters probably will be moved to wherever Gen. Eis enhower sets up his permanent offices. No date was set for the transfer. Some airmen have long chafed over the proximity of the U. S. air command in Europe to the Iron Curtain. r n mirrd wmtJk I iimi I Jack Schofield Says Mis Group Invites Probe Committee Gets Board Hearing To Review Rules By Edd Davis Complaints against the Dance Committee were aired at a public hearing yesterday afternoon, and Committee Chairman Jack Schofield said his group welcomed the inves tifgation 100 per cent. "We are operating complete ly above board and have noth ing to hide," Schofield said. "We wish to cooperate with the inves tigating committee completely in this matter. The investigation is being con ducted by a special committee by the Student Legislature to review complaints received relating to the enforcement of rules by the Dance Committee at University dances. One fraternity representative said his organization had been found guilty of violating the rules and had been sentenced without knowledge of the offense. He said that the fraternity had not been informed beforehand of the charge being brought against them, and therefore, did not have the opportunity of defending it self af the trial which was, held behind closed doors. The representative also pointed out that, on receiving the notice by mail, his fraternity appealed the decision. But, since the ap peal went to the same group that had convicted it, the chapter felt that the entire process would be useless. He said his organization was denied the right to face its accuser. Jake Froelich, president of the German Club, said that his or ganization questioned .several of the rules, and that revisions of many would be in the best in terest of the campus. Froelich said that the rule per taining to girls not being allowed to leave the dance without a chapcrone was being applied to the men as well. He proposed that pass-out checks be issued to the men so that they could leave the dance at their wish. Froelich also said they have the opportunity to sell only 900 tickets for the concerts preceding the dance, and, since there are more than 900 members of the German Club, the added atten dance of the full Dance Commit tee at the conceit does not allow all the members of the club to at tend the concerts. He also questioned the use of so many doormen at the concerts. Another issue brought forth was the rule of the Dance Committee that no other dance could be held the same night of a Grail Dance.
