Ballot Rhubarb: 45 Candidates Seeking 3 Posts Chairman Daniels Suggests Minor Change In System By Louis Kraar Campus politicians not to mention the voters were puzzled yesterday. The announcement of an un usually large number of candi dates for the eight positions open on the Men's and Women's Coun cils 45 candidates in all pro vided the quandry. The Bi-Partisan Selection Board which picks students to run for honor council seats by interviews, was originally set up to take the nominations out of party politics. Frank Daniels, chairman of the Bi-Partisan Selection Board, said yesterday, "I don't thing it is the right of the board to disqualify students who are capable no mat ter how many are running." In answer to whether he was against the system of choosing candidates by the board he said, "I am not against the board. I only suggest that a minor revision be made in the method of selecting candi dates." Jerry Cook (UP), chairman of the Elections Board, stated, "The Selection Board should use more discretion in the selection of can didates. The number chosen is ridiculous." He pointed out that a run-off on Nov. 25 would probably be necessary. President Ham Horton (UP) had no comment. G's Should Reinstate Insurance Special to Ths Daily Tar Hkeu WINSTON-SALEM, Nov. 7 More than $10 billion in lapsed GI term life insurance will be lost forever under present laws unless the 1,200,000 veterans who have permitted their policies to lapse reinstate them before the terms expire during the next 14 months. The Veterans Administration today said the policies involved are Lansed term National Service Life Insurance (NSLI) that were issued to two groups of World War H and post-World War II veterans. The two groups are: 1. The 1,100,00 World War II veterans who took out term NSLI policies while they were in sei- vice during the last two months of 1944 and all of 1945; and, 2. The 100,000 World War II and post-World War II veterans who took out term NSLI policies while they were in service dur ing the last two months of 1947 and all of 1948. The first group of 1,100,00 vet erans shave 8-year term policies and the second group of 100,00 veterans have 5-year term pol icies. Both terms expire sometime during the last two months of this vear or during next yeai, depending on the' anniversary date of each policy. If veterans in either group do not wish to lose this coverage al together, they must reinstate their policies before the terms expire. Otherwise, they will not be eligible for further GI life insurance coverage.

Are they not responsible adults?" These and other questions were verbally kicked around Thursday night at the Carolina Inn for the benefit of UNC's six German students. As it turned out though, a consid erable amount of the benefit rubbed off on the Americans leading the discussion. Dr. W. Carson Ryan, Kenan professor of education here, was the principal speaker. He explained the American posi tion: "I think the restrictions we place here on students are absurd, frankly. However, we do not believe that a young person 'jumps' into maturity at age 18 or any other age. We depend upon the total effect WASHINGTON The shatter ing impact of the Republican election victory yesterday almost immobilized American diplo macy. The atmosphere at the State Department was one of in decision pending word from the new signal-caller, President-elect Dwight D. : Eisenhower. ... or his foreign policy advisers. President Truman asked Eisenhower to send representatives to the De fense and State Departments and Budget Bureau "at the earliest possible moment." ASHEVILLE Forest fires, which have blackened thousands of acres of woodlands in the Car olinas during the past 10 days, blazed anew yesterday and the danger of still mpre fires was termed "extremely critical." Brisk winds fanned the destruc tive blazes which already were feeding on powder-dy timber land as a result of a record breaking drought. More than 100 men were rushed into the Tenn essee Gap section near Rosman to battle a blaze which had swept over 700 acres by mid-morning.

This year's nuclear weapons tests at Eniwetok, announced for the "autumn months," are either completed or nearing an end. They generally were expected to include use of a standard atomic bomb to touch off enough hydro gen to produce a super-sized blast. " ' " Wm BRIEF of the home life and the edu cation to adjust the person to, conducting his own life." Hans-Jurgen L ambers, one of the exchange students, adroitly worded his view of the matter: "I don't understand why, after this education to ward self-responsibility, and in spite of it, these restrictions are placed on a student with the effect of preventing his practice of self-responsibility. It seems to me a certain in consistency." The Germans explained that in European families a child is taught to be responsible from an early age. This training equips the person to live in society by the time he reaches age, 18, at which time he gen erally leaves home. After this, no rules are necessary for he is an adult. aoanese W est With Orient By Tom Parramore "Japan Today" got a thorough airing at Thursday night's YMCA supper forum in Lenoir Hall when three Japanese students compared life in their native land with that in America. In discusing and - comparing education in Japan with that of the United States. "Sadao Morita taid that before VorJd War II ihe Japanese s' iem included six years of primary school, six years of middle, and six years of uni versity education. Now, however, he explained, after primary school follows three years of jun ior high, three of senior high, and four years in one of Japan's 96 national and 105 private univer sitiees. According to Morita, the Jap anese school yeat is very differ ent from that of their western ally. In Japan the school year begins in April and ends in P'eb ruary or March, with exains com ing in October at the end of the first semester and again in January or February at the end of the second. Interesting to the gathering was the fact that the Japanese student gets two mon ths vacation in the summer, another around Christmas, and two more months in the spring. The topic went to Japanese culture as Miss Taeko Fujita told of some of the aspects of her country's unusual society.

U.S. Way, Inconsistent Another of the questions an swered by Dr. Ryan was, "What educational philosophy underlies , American instruc tion?" He said the early American motive for establishing schools was a religious one. "It was said that a person easily fell victim to the 'old deluder Devil' if he was not able to read the Bible," Dr. Ryan said. "Today the idea is to , make some educational provision for all the youth. Over the years we have turned from advoca ting the mere mastery of cer tain skills to a general educa tion to help a person solve his social problems."

Walt Dear, independent and Student Party-endorsed for The Daily Tar Heel editorship, out lined his campaign plans. They include a campus canvass to see "what's wrong with The Daily Tar Heel; what's right with it and how we can improve it." "If you want door-to-door de livery for your paper, I'd like to know," Dear said. "If you're not getting your paper, I'd like to know." He emphasized he would seek to solve the circula tion problems if elected. On the editorial side, Dear said the newspaper should dis cuss thoroughly the major prob lems confronting the campus. Coed visiting in dormitory so cial rooms and revisions in the fraternity visiting agreement were among the questions he specified. Dear is being opposed for the job by Biff Roberts, Daily Tar Heel sports editor and nominee of the University Party. Dear ran for editor of The Daily Tar Heel his sophomore year on the SP ticket but was defeated by older and more ex perienced candidates.

Cavaliers By Seven Points By Tom Peacock Daily Tar Heel Assistant Sports Editor North Carolina and Virginia renew their football rivalry for the 47th time in Kenan Stadium today at 2 o'clock with the Cavaliers rated slight seven point favorites over the Tar Heels in the Homecoming Day game. But odds are usually meaningless for this traditional game and Carolina is determined to beat Virginia to snap a two-year losing streak with the Cavaliers. Once more the play of two quarterbacks will feature a Caro lina game, with Virginia Sopho more Mel Roach and Carolina Freshman Marshall Newman di recting their teams in the T for mation. North Carolina is hampered by injuries, and Coach Carl Snavely has been forced to make numer- ous changes in the starting line- up. Only two Tar Hesls are def initely out for the game, half- VIRGINIA Scott Mehalick Turner yta !- Stallings Phipps Chisholm Roach Tata Parte Furst Pos.

Carolina is looking for its first win in 11 games, and the feeling in the Tar Heel camp is that today's contest with the Cavaliers is the one to put it back in the win column. Virginia is equally eager for a win, since it has lost its past "two ; games to southern conierence schools after previously going un defeated. Duke and South Caro- ina have scored victories over Virginia. Carolina will depend largely on the passing arm of Newman, plus the hard running of backs Larry Parker, Chal Port, John Gaylord and Bud Wallace, and a strong def ansive team. The defensive team has proven to be the Tar Heels' best offense this year, and Newman has passed for five of the six touchdowns Carolina has scored in its first four games. In addition to Roach, Virginia has a high-scoring backfield head ed by Bib Tata, Bobby Pats and Gerry Furst. Tata has scored six times for 36 points, and has pick ed up 319 yards, while averaging 4.9 yards per rush. Furst has av eraged 5 yards per try this sea son to pace the team. Virginia has been impressive in wins over powerful Vanderbilt, Virginia Tech, V.M.I. and George Washington. The Cavaliers rout ing all those teams by one-sided scores. Duke knocked Virginia off the unbeaten list week-before-last with a 21-7 victory, and South Carolina beat the Cavaliers, 21 14, on a fluke last week. The Tar Heels have ' lost four games this season to some of the most powerful teams in the coun try. After losing its opener to Texas, Carolina was edged out by Wake Forest, and then defeat ed by Notre Dame and Tennessee. Virginia coach Art Guepe has a defensive team that is a match for the Carolina agregation. The experienced Virginia line and sec ondary ranks among the best in the nation on opponents' scoring and rushing yardage. North Carolina has a slight edge in its eries with Virginia, winning 27 while losmg 25 and tieing three. Tickets for the game are still available and may be purchased at the satdium. A crowd of 25,000 is expected for the contest. Cosmos Will Discuss Politics At GM Sunday The Cosmopolitan Club will meet tomorrow in the Rendez vous Room in Graham Memorial at 4 p.m. A panel discussion on impres sions of the political campaign will be moderated by a member of the Political Science Department. Favor e r f JAMES MARTINDALE Comic Opera To Be Given On Monday The comic opera "Don Pas quale" will be presented in Cha pel Hill Monday by the Grass Roots . Opera. Company. The cast includes James Mar tindale as Don Pasquale, Virginia Hudnall as Norina, Norris Greer as Ernesto and Alec Dantre as Dr. Malatesta. The opera will be sung in English. The Opera Company was form ed in 1949 by A. J. Fletcher, a Raleigh attorney, to give aspiring singers a chance to appear in op eratic productions and at the same time give the public an oppor tunity to hear opera in English. The company is administered by the Extension Division of the Uni versity and presented 79 perform ances throughout North Carolina and Virginia last season. The fact that North Carolina is the only state where students of singing can sing from 10 to 20 perform ances of several different operas in one season has attracted young vocalists from all over the coun try. This season, singers from Texas, Michigan, Virginia, New York, Arkansas and North Caro lina are represented. Bar Negroes, Eight Quit Special to The Daily Tar Heh.
