NY Met Opera
To Visit State
Early In 1952
Plan Performance
In State Coliseum
To Raise Funds
There, is a strong possibility
that the Metropolitan Opera Com
pany of New York will come to
North Carolina in the spring of
1952 and perform in the Coliseum
at State College, it was announced
here yesterday.
The announcement followed a
conference between Mrs. Seborn
Perry of High Point, North Caro
lina chairman of a national fund
being raised for the Metropolitan,
and Norman Cordon, former Met
ropolitan star and now head of
the North Carolina Music Pro
gram. 'Bringing the Metropolitan Op
era to North Carolina is an am
bitious undertaking,". Mrs. Perry
said, "for transportation alone
will require 16 Pullman cars.
But plans are in the making and
we feel that they can be worked
out satisfactorily," she said.
Mrs. Perry said that "already
there has been a gratifying re
sponse to the appeal now being
made for contributions .to the
Metropolitan Opera Fund, which
was organized to seek contribu
tions totaling $750,000 to meet
costs of maintenance for the pres
ent season and to provide pro
duction improvements for a the
next season."
The appeal is being made 'to
opera lovers throughout the
United States, she - explained,
"since the Metropolitan Opera
through its Saturday afternoon
broadcasts has now become the
people's opera, with an estimated
listening, audience of more than
13.000,000.
"Opera at its best is expensive,
just as a fine museum or uni-5
vorsity or a great scientific lab
oratory is expensive," she said.
"To maintain the highest stand
ards traditional with the Metro
politan is today more expensive
than ever, even with its constant
effort to effect economy. Else
where in the world opera is sub
sidized by government.
"Our American choice has been
to keep opera, a great national
cultural asset, an enterprise sup
ported by the music lovers "of the
nation, each giving according to
his or her ability." !
Mrs. Perry said that North
Carolina will be given special
recognition for its contributions
and that checks should be made
out to the Metropolitan Opera
Association and mailed to her, as
State Chairman, in High Point.

Training Plan
For Many 4-F's
Gains
Ground
Athletes Center
Of Big Discussion
About Deferments
, WASHINGTON, Feb. . 6 IP)
The idea of basic training - for
many men now, classified 4-F to
see if they really are disqualified
for military service, gained
ground today in the House Armed
Services Committee:
The talk centered on draft
deferred athletes but was- not
limited to them.
The proposition came up in
testimony by Maj. Gen. Lewis B.
"Hershey, Selective Service Direc
tor, on the Defense Department's
bill to draft 18-year-olds extend
service to 27 months and set up j
a system of universal military
service and training (UMST).
Many lawmakers want all other
available sources , tapped before
the -draft takes youths beow the
present 19-year age limit. The
trial-training plan, to which Her
shey readily agreed, was one of
the suggestions aimed that way.
Simultaneously t h e r e were
these other developments bear-;
ing on armed manpower: v
1. The Air Force started sendr
ing out calls to. the first of nearly
..0,000 volunteer reservists - it
plans to bring into active service.
2. The House Committee itself
showed signs of leaning toward
a compromise on 18-year-olds,
under which they might be draft-
ed but would' have to get six:
months training before they could
go to a combat zone.
3. The committee also gave
thought to a requirement that the
armed forces reject no more than
22 per cent of the men Selective
Service sends them, finding some
spot for the rest.
Conference Co-Chairmen Nan
cy Her and Mike McDaniel yes
terday emphasized the opportun
ity which Montreat offers for
students, faculty and administra
tion to get together on an inform
al basis, each adding to the valu
able experiences which can be
gained from the. Conference.
Registration forms are now
available in the Y Lobby from
9 until 1:30 daily. Total cost for
the Conference is $13.50, with
$3.50 being payable at registra
tion, and the remainder upon
leaving the Montreat Hotei.
Transportation will be provided
for the group, which will leave
Chape 1 Hill Friday afternoon,
Feb. 16. Persons willing to drive
their cars will be paid for the
number of passengers they ac
commodate. Alpha, Beta Gamma,
Fraternity
With Birth
By Pat Morse
, With fraternity enrollment de
creasing steadily because of the
Korean War, it is unusual to find
a house which overnight can in
crease its membership by eight.
Sometime in the wee hours of
last Sunday morning a mother
rabbit owned by several ATO's
gave birth to eight baby rabbits.
One of the animals. has since died.
The story began early in Jan

made a beach trip. On their re

Guest Of Forum
For Inn Dinner
, By Don Maynard
Tall, slightly greying Gen.
Mark Clark declared yesterday
evening that he was going to add
another ribbon to his already
colorful chest in commemoration
of the "Battle of Charlotte," the
toughest campaign, he said, he
had ever waged.
The 54-year-old general was
referring to his recent trip to the
Queen City, where he spent two
days and attended five cocktail
parties. "I feel like the Roman
ruins," he joked.
Clark flew to the Raleigh-Durham
Airport from Fort Bragg
after attending a general's inspec
tion.'and was greeted at the Air
port by. Assistant Dean of Stu
dents Bill Friday and a group of
students.
Apparently the General was
very tired for he retreated to his
loom in the Carolina Inn for
about an hour after his arrival
here' before dining with a group
of University students and ad
ministration members.
Guest of honor at the turkey
dinner, Clark spoke for 10 min
utes on a few subjects which,' he
said, were "strictly off the
record."
Described as a "magnanimous
iman genial, candid and ex
tremely friendly" by Carolina
Forum Chairman Bob Evans who
rode the distance from the airport
to Chapel Hill with . Clark, the
General towered over his staff,
arid friends with his six-feet-three
of military bearing.
Clark will climb into his pri
vate DC-6 this morning for a
hop to Camp Atterbury, Ind., with
Assistant 'Defense Secretary
Frank Pace. From there he will
visit Ft. Knox, and then return
to his offices at Ft. Monroe,, in
Norfolk.

All seven decided to pool their
resources about a dollar, all told
and buy a rabbit.
They called it Emmett until
they received a little expert pre
medical advice and discovered
they would have to change the

In order to further the strain
they purchased a mate for Emo

An appeal to the Student Council by a coed who was
convicted by the Women's Council for violating the Campus
Code has been denied, Larry Botto, chairman, said yesterday.
The coed was sentenced to an indefinite social probation and
given an official reprimand tor
staying out over an . hour later
than the coed regulations allow.
She offered in her appeal that
the evidence was not sufficient
to have imposed such a severe
sentence.
However, the Student Council
ruled that the evidence in proof
of these charges was sufficient
to convict.

It was the second offense for

the grounds that the Women's

g Mark Clark
Says Infantry
Indispensible
In Warefare
Calls For UMT
To Build Forces
Now Diminished
By Edd Davis
"Every man that is taken
into the Army now will first
be trained as an infantryman,
then as a specialist in artil
lery, ordinance, or some other
unit of the Army," Gen. Mark
Wayne Clark, Chief of the
Army Field Forces, said last
night in an address in Mem
orial Hall.
Clark, speaking under the
auspices of the Carolina Forum,
told a 'packed house, "The in
fantryman is the most indispens
ible man in the armed forces to
day. His guts and courage is the
backbone of the military. Of
course we need support of the
Air Force, Navy, and other units,
but the infantryman is yet t he
most important."
Clark said the. only way to
build up the strength of our forces
is by the Universal Military
Training program.
"We have reduced the reserve
in ' this country to rock-bottom
level in terms of mobilization. If
we had some system by which
the youth of the land could be
used to build up these depleted
units which would keep the units
at 10Q per cent strength, and have
trained civilians ready to fill the
ranks, we must get UMT on our
books to help us build up this
strength," he explained.
"We had only a few divisions
at the outbreak of the Korean
war, and little equipment at the
same time. We must first pro
duce the equipment, then obtain
the manpower to man this equip
ment," he said.
"In the critical times in which
we are now living. I believe that
svery man and woman in the
United States will have to do his
full share in the fight now on
our hands," Clark said.
Commenting on the role of com
munism in the cold war, Clark
said, "for two years I met with
Soviet leaders during the reestab
lishment of Austria, and every act
proposed by the Allied countries
was vetoed by the Red leaders. I
have seen their resort to false
hood, cheating and murdering,
and I know i:ia: they will stop
at nothing to gain their ultimate
ends.
We have a duhcuit job on
our hands because many youths
of today have been spoiled by
their parents, have been accus
tomed to live with luxuries, to
live the American way. and when
these boys go to the Korean
battleground they arc facing
men who are fanatics, who have
not enjoyed such luxuries, and
who are not fighting for the same
purpose for which the Americans
are," he said.
