In Mew Ruling
Action Of Senate
Reverses Move
Of Highest Court
The Women's' Council again
has authority to try serious
violations of dormitory house
rules, by action of the Coed
Senate, Speaker Kash Davis
announced yesterday.
The Student Council ruled
recently that all house rules, ac
cording to the Student Constitu
tion, are under the proper juris
diction of the House Councils,
supposedly functioning in each
women's dormitory and sorority
house.
The Constitution states that
'each Woman's House Council
shall have original jurisdiction in
all cases involving infractions ot
the House Rules by residents of
the house."
But the Coed Senate at a Tues
day night meeting classified two
house rules as "Social Rules" and
designated them as under- the jur
isdiction of the Women's Council.
Those cases involving the fail
ure to sitjn, out, of coeds, who spend
the night outside their residences
and those in which a coed enters
her residence more than one hour
late are now considered social
rujes.
Di Defeats
Curfew Bill
On Imports
Declaring that a curfew on im
ports involves scholarship rather
than morality, Dean of Women
Katherine Carmichael introduced
a bill calling for a 2 p.m. curfew
at a meeting of the Dialectic Sen
ate Monday night.
She said that "social' activities
should not exceed that late hour.
Scholarship is the primary goal of
college students, and scholarship
is undermined by excessive social
date hours."
The bill was defeated by a.vote
of 18-16, but the general affirm
ative debate was rated to be bet
ter than the debate of the neg
ative side.
The Senate will meet at 7 p.m.
Monday night to elect officers' for
the spring quarter.

TOKYO, Thursday, Feb. 22
(UP) Allied forces struck
through a driving rain and mud
that bogged tanks and grounded
planes today against Communist
troops trying to dig in on a new
central Korean line from Yang-
pj'ong to Pyongchang.
The Chinese and North Koreans
fell back to the line over the
hump of the Korean mountains
after their central front offen

Airmen reported many new
enemy entrenchments a mile
north of Yangpyong, Han River
town 30 miles east of Seoul, and
British and South Korean patrols
found the Chinese entrenched on
the east-west road between Chip
yong and Hoengsong, strategic
mountain bases 20 miles apart.
Red roadblocks were reported
five miles east of Yongwol, on the
eastern flank of the central front,
and 18 miles east cf Pyongchang,

Television Is 'Horror
Lynn Riggs Pays Visit
To PI ay writing Class
By Chuck Kellogg ,
The undergraduate playwright- j
ing class had quite a surprise yes- !
terday when Lynn Riggs, author
of such great Broadway plays as
"Roadside," "Cherokee Night,"
and 'Green Grow the Lilacs,'
dropped in to discuss, in an in
formal manner, some of the basic
techniques of the art.
He was not at the class, he
quickly remarked, to give a
speech. ,
He was there, at the invitation
of Samuel Selden, to answer or
argue out any questions they
might have. He knew they would
have problems. All playwrights
do. In fact, he is himself trying
to solve a tough one in a new play
he is now writing, and is in
Chapel Hill to talk about it with
Paul Green.
Asked if he liked being refer
ed to as a "folk dramatist," he
pondered carefully, and then said
he thought not.
"Afte'r all," he said slowly "all
plays are about folk. You could
say Uiiiiora uaets was uie iuik.

that I write about regions and
people, mostly relatives, whom I
have known intimately. For ex

Whistling Worker
Inferior To Griper
ANN ARBOR, Mich., Feb. 21
(A') Do your employes whistle
while they work? Are they
happy?
Gosh, let's hope not.
University of Michigan re
searchers reported today after a
four-year survey that "Gripers"
tisually are better workers than
"whistlers."
"While this type (the griper)
will often spend a lunch hour de

urge to succeed will send this
same subject back to work fired
with more productive energy,"

Douglas MacArthur visited the

Communist resistance was fad

To the west, Allied and Com

Seoul front. Each side put small
numbers of tanks across the river

Somebody else wanted to know
what Riggs thought of television
as an outlet for new, untried writ
ers. Referring to the medium as
"that horror you put in the living
room," Riggs frankly said he did
n't know much about television,
or what its future possibilities
were. He did think that, for inge
nuity and entertainment, nothing
thus far was better than the
Kuckla, Fran and Ollie show.
Although he has written very
few one-act plays himself, he is
very much in favor of this form
since it "sharpens your observa
tion and feeling for truth. It's
good training, although the form
is very restricting."
As for himself, he was told at
an early age by Mrs. Max East
man, one of the founders of the
Provincetown Playhouse, to stick
with the three-act form if he felt
he had the energy to talk to an
audience for a whole evening. .

Marshall Smith's Iwo Jima Story
Of University Hour This Evening

Twenty-thousand feet above
the island of Iwo Jima the sky
was blue and cold. Lt. Marshall
Smith listened to the dull thund
er of the motors as his B-29 swept
closer to the green target of land.
The island was held "by the Jap
anese; the skies above it would
be thick with death.
Seconds later the big bombers
were over the island, rocking
through a wall of ugly flak bursts
as anti-aircraft shells ' exploded
around them. Lt. Smith looked
at his intsruments and began
counting off the bombing range
"19,000, 18,000, 18-75, 18-50"
the flak was getting heavier

Music Talk
To Be Given
By Newman
Prof. William S. Newman will
present "The Climax of Music,"
aTtalk illustrated with music and
slides, tonight at 8:30 in Hill Hall.
Dr. Newman's address will be
the second of three University
lectures in the Humanities for
1950-51. "The Climax of Music"
will demonstrate the peak of in
terest v of various .eras, forms,
styles, and composers.
This concept is regarded as a
basic one in the understanding of
music as well as all forms of art.
It is especially important in the
intergrated works of the 19th cen
tury,, as the idea of one climax
is. basic to the- creative effort of
that period, Newman believes.
A native of Cleveland, Ohio, he
has been a member of the faculty
since his return from service with
the Army Air Corps intelligence.
In addition to several recitals
which he has presented at Car

in various sections of the coun

of 10 concerts and lectures at
colleges in Pennsylvania
and
West Virginia.
Recently he has published

Outlines Dangers

Proposed Rates
Would Have Here
By Edd Davis
RALEIGH, Feb. 21 "The
whole Medical Care Program
of the state will be' greatly
endangered if the proposed
increases in the tuition rates
of the Health Affairs Division
of the University of North
Carolina are put into effect,"
John Sanders, president of the
student body, told the Gen
eral Assembly Appropriations
Committee today.
, Sanders, appearing before
members of the committee to
present the viewpoint of the stu
dent body, told the committer
that "the only logical way out is
an increasing of the appropri
ations by the; committee."
"Factors that have not been
considered by the Advisory Bud
get Commission in its recommen
dations," he said, "are the increas
ed costs in living; expenses for
lh: students.- Focd has doubled
in the past few years and is still
on the upswing as are other !
costs."
"The GI Bill is running out for
many veterans who will not have
the resources to continue their
education if the proposed rates
are made effective," he explain
ed. "It would be an error " on the
part of any group if they allow
ed a few dollars to endanger the
Medical Care Program, . especial
ly when the state is already
spending more than $50,000,000
on the program at the present
time," he argued.
Sanders said that "many stu
dents would probably go to other
institutions where the cost w'ould
be only a . few hundred dollars
more and the standing higher
academically, if the proposed
rates are put into effect."
"If the new rates are made ef
fective, North Carolina would
rank as the second most expen
sive state school in the medical
divisions," he added.
He explained that people in the
rural areas of the state would
suffer since properly trained med
ical personnel would not be avail
able. Sanders was presented to the
Appropriations Committee by
Gordon Gray, president of the
1 Consolidated University. .

(UP) The story of a modest,

out of a salary that never topped
$6,000 a year wras unfolded here
today.
The University of Illinois dis

his will was filed for probate.
Miller, who died Feb. 10 at 87,
left all his money to the school
with the stipulation that it be
used for teaching and research.

Marc Norton, Champaign bank
er named executor of the estate,
said, "I don't know what his in
vestment formula was, but it cer
tainly was a successful one."
Norton, examing Miller's hold
ings, said they represented a wide
selection of gilt-edged stocks and
bonds in companies over a wide
area of the country.
He held a small amount of real
estate, but no farm property. Nor

the securities when he was a
young man and held them until
his death. '

Niles Sings
Folk Ballads
Before -800
By Walt Dar
A man with a high male alto
voice, a cello sawed in half, and
an intensive wish to bring the
music of American ballads to the
ears of Carolina students, sang
before an audience of 800 Tuesday
night in Memorial Hall for an
hour and half with no intermis
sion. John Jacob Niles, a composer
and singer of American folk mu
sic, filled the spring air with
some nostalgic notes as he humm
ed and strummed on his dulci
mer.
With many comments and quips
to acquaint the audience with the
background of bis songs, Niles
was albe to captivate the atten
tion of the crowd.- Singing love
songs, nursery rhymes, carols,
and ballads of local origin, Niles
gave students a 'good taste of folk
lore music.
Dressed in a black suit with a
red handkerchief ("I always wear
this outfit for performances"),
Niles sat on a straight-backed
chair and played his instrument
flat on its back on a bridge table.
Listeners were amused as the
ballad singer mooed, quacked,
and meowed while singing "I
Had a Cat." To climax his per
formance, Niles sang "The Hang
man," an American folksong.
For an encore, Niles perform
ed "Matti Groves" in its original
text. The song has 27 verses, but
Niles kept the attention of all
as he. completed the song.
