Publications Board Finishes
Three-Month Cutting Action
By Frank Allsion, Jr.
In a series of budgetary cuts
designed to balance the 1950-51
budget, the Publications Board re
cently completed action on a
three-month - "retraction pro
gram." According to Publications
Board Chairman Zane Robbins
and Financial Coordinator Ernest
DcLaney, the budget of The
Daily Tar Heel will balance this
year for the first time since 1946.
The series of .cuts which sub
stantially decreased' expenditures
of The Daily Tar Heel was initi
ated in January when DeLaney
reported to the board that a con
tinuance of the situation at that
time would result in a budget de
ficit of some $3,000 by June.
The Board took definite action
in cutting publication of the pap
er on Sundays. While this re
duced the expenses by approxi
mately $200 a week, the resulting
loss in advertising was well be
low that figure.
A short while later it became
necessary to make still further
drastic cuts in order to keep some
semblance of normal operations
throughout the year, so the board
embarked upon a four-point plan
designed to bring the budget in
to balance.
The plan included: (1) cutting
of one additional issue per week,

Bowers Tells Plan
For Social Rooms
Henry Bowers, Student Party
.candidate for president of the
student bodjy, ye&terday announc
ed an overall SP-sponsored plan
to "'get social rooms in the dorm
itories." "The general statements made
during the past few days," said
Bowers, "while very pleasant,
will not help our cause.
"We dormitory men are faced
with the difficult problem of ask
ing the University for social rooms
at a time when funds are short.
But we can still get social rooms
provided we work together on
this project.
"First, we must have an of
ficial expression of dormitory sen
timent on the subject. Therefore,
we propose that a vote be taken
on the issue in each dormitory.
Once we find out the exact opin
ion of the men, we will be able
to take the matter to the adminis
tration with clear evidence of
student backing.
"Second, after the meetings, we
propose that the administration
borrow the money necessary to
make alterations and to provide
for some of the furniture.
"Third, we must be able to give
some assurance to the University
concerning the repayment of the
loan over a term of years. This
is the crucial point in the plan,
and it has been debated in many
meetings at which this subject
was discussed. The problem of
what is the best manner in which
to repay the money is one which

suffice to bring social rooms to

The Red Cross Bloodmobile will

less than three months for the

Wettach, chairman of the local
Red Cross chapter, said yester
day. A quota of 400 pints has been
set for the two-day stand. The
500-pint quota set when the
Bloodmobile was here last month
was exceeded by 31 pints.
"Due to the extreme and im
mediate pressing need for whole
blood to treat soldiers in Korea,
the blood unit will probably stop
here every two months from now
on," Wettach said. While persons
who gave blood to the unit in
Feb. will be eligible as donors

aged the participation of new
donors. ,
Robert Schenkkan has been

Editor Must
Guide Staff,
Allston Says
Frank Allston, Jr., University
Party candidate for editor of The
Daily Tar Heel and senior mem
ber of the Publications Board,
said yesterday that there is "a
definite need for an editor of
The Daily Tar Heel who will be
a staff leader and not merely an
editorial writer."
Allston scored the lack of lead
ership exerted during recent years
by the paper's editors, but point
ed out that staff morale has been
high despite this lack of leader
ship. A proposal by Allston calls for
a "training school" for freshman
journalists during orientation
week to create and maintain an
interest in publications.
"This inteiest has not been cul
tivated in past years, but you can
not devote much time to new
staff members when the first time
you see them is on the day you
are rushing to put out your first
paper of thd fall quarter. We
must take time to cultivate in
terest in the paper and publica
tions in general," Allston stated.
Allston aiso promised the cre
ation and maintenance of an im
partial and unbiased editorial
policy to present all sides of every
major question: "If elected I shall
not allow The Daily Tar Heel
to be used as a political football
to be kicked about by overly eag
er campus politicians," the UP
nominee asserted. '

Dorm Rooms
Deadline Set
Students now assigned to dorm
itory rooms have the option of
reserving space for the summer
and fall terms.
A room reserved for the sum
mer only does not entitle the oc
cupant to that space in the fall.
Room reservation deposits must
be made with the University
cashier on the ground floor of
South Building not later than
May l.If such deposit is not made,
no room will be reserved.
The following dormitories will
not be available this summer:
Whitehead, Everett, Alexander,
"C," and "A." Occupants of these
buildings who plan to attend
summer school will be assigned
to other rooms. "B" Dormitory
will be used for graduate men
only.

Bennett States Facilities Are Doubled;
Men's Dorms Getting More Instruments
Mathematically it should take
fretful Carolina males only half
as long as it used to take to reach
a girls' dormitory by telephone.
J. S. Bennett, Director of Op
erations, yesterday announced the
completion of a' project which
has doubled facilities in Kenan,
Alderman, and Mclver dormi
tories. Each floor now has a straight
line. Under the old set up, each
floor shared a line.
Carr and Smith dormitories
also got one additional phone
line each, doubling the number
of lines into these buildings.
Bennett pointed out that per
sons caling the dormitories should

new Chapel Hill telephone di
rectory just published.
Levant In
At 8 This
Oscar Levant, the petulant
king of the keyboard, will appear
in Memorial Hall at 8 o'clock
this evening in a program of
"Piano Music With Comments."
Doors of the auditorium will
be open at 7o'clock for the Stu
dent Entertainment Committee
sponsored concert. Students will
be admitted free upon presenta
tion of ID cards. If by 7:40 any
seats remain vacant, they will
go on sale to student wives, fac
ulty and townspeople for $1 each.
The audience will see on stage
a brilliant concert pianist and
noted raconteur. Levant is, also
a composer of both serious and
popular music, a prominent film
personality, and author, and an
acknowledged radio star.
Movie-goers have seen and
heard Levant in "Rhapsody in
Blue," the story of his friend,
George Gershwin, in "The; Bark
leys of Broadway," in "Humor
esque" in which he was co-starred
with Joan Crawford and John
Garfield, and they will shortly
see him in MGM's new musical,
"An American in Paris," in which
he appears with Gene Kelly.
Oscar Levant was born in Pitts
burgh, the son of a jeweler. From
his childhood he was interested
in music, and when he began
piano lessons there were never

Myatt Enters
Senior Battle
Independently
Melton Also Runs
As Independent;
Both File Friday
Bruce Melton became the third
independent of " five candidates
running for editor of The Daily
Tar Heel when he filed with the
Elections Board just under the
Friday night deadline, Chairman
Julian Mason said yesterday.
Also filing with Mason was
Archie Myatt, running independ
ently for president of the senior
class.
Melton, a junior from Morgan
ton, has an older brother, Art,
who ran unsuccessfully several
years ago for editor of the
Yackety-Yack as well as The
Daily Tar Heel. 1
Melton said his friends urged
him to run, according to Mason.
He declared he did not know the
petition (it takes 25 names to
file as an independent) was being
circulated until Frklay afternoon,
Mason added. He lives in Battle
Dormitory.
Others m the editorship race
are Assistant Sports Editor Frank
Allston, Jr., nominated by the
University Party; reporter Walt
Dear, backed by the Student
Party; Associate Editor Don May
nard, an independent; and Glenn
Harden, columnist, also running
independently.
Myatt is a strong member of
the UP Steering Committee, a
position he has filled for more
than a year.
Harden Says
Factions Are
Hurting DTH
In a campaign statement yes
terday, Glenn Harden, independ
ent candidate for editor of The
Daily Tar Heel, promised "to take
no part in the battle between
rival factions which have been
fighting each other over the pub
lication . . . and in the process
doing harm to the University's
only paper."
Glenn, who has worked on the
paper intermittently for two .
yfcars as a reporter and last spring
"on its editorial board, continued:
"I promise to expend my ener
gies making The Daily Tar Heel
the best paper I can. I did not
seek any party's nomination; I
have not been promised any
block of votes, and if the students
elect me, it must be on merit
alone."
She said she has respect for
the other four candidates and
plans to wage a positive cam
paign. Scoring what she called the
paper's "closed shop," Glenn de
clared she would strive to maxe
the paper open to all students.
"A staff of six or eight persons,
regardless of how professional its
members are, cannot adequately
cover a campus of 5,000 persons,"
she added.
