But when you think of the name of Bologna, you Americans can only thing of the meat used for cold cuts," said Dr. Jino Pratelli, Italian Fullbright scholar visit ing here last week. Since coming to America eight months ago, Dr. Pratelli has visited Minnesota, Michigan, Wisconsin, Chicago, and more recently, Georgia Tech and Car olina. He is a civil engineer chiefly interested in regional planning. As guest speaker to the Planner's Forum, a graduate, club for students in city and re gional planning, he outlined some of the problems of regional planning in Italy. Dr. Pratelli spent much of his time here talking with students, reading in the library, and en joying the cmapus. Though Bo logna does have rich food ("I need to take a long rest after dinner") "it also has the oldest university in Europe, according to the engineer. Eating in Chapel Hill Friday night, Dr. Pratelli had his first experience with a devUed crab, a delicacy which he enjoyed. One needed a dictionary with an il lustration to define the crab ade quately. The doctor was disap pointed when the half shell crab appeared on the plate. "This is not the same as in the picture, he commented. While visiting libraries in this country, Dr. Pratelli noted that most of them lack copies of for eign periodicals. "In Italy, we have the United States Information Service (a State Department agency which, supplies pam phlets and books about America), while here Americans don't get a good picture of European countries," he said. Dr. Pratelli's Italian accent is strong, but his vocabulary is ex cellent and he has a nicety of definition that enriches his con versation. He explained that he Campus visitor asking, "Which way to the Coliseum?"

McCarthy and his Senate investigations sub committee are "undermining" the work of executive agencies seek ing to cut off trade between the West to Iron Curtain areas.

"I frank ly feel we are helping you," Mc Carthy answered. McCarthy an nounced over the weekend his Senate group has negotiated on its own an agreement with Greek own ers of 242 ships tb break off trade with North Korea and Red China.

LONDON The Chinese Reds yesterday broadcast a new offer to end the Korean war. They propos ed that all war prisoners be re turned home immediately.

Matthews For Clean Campaign Wade Matthews, independent presidential candidate, yesterday pledged a "clean and constructive campaign and outlined an ll-poin platform. Matthews is a former member of both political parties. He is from Winston-Salem and served in Legis lature since last Spring under the banner of both parties. He was one of the four prospective Stu dent Party vice-presidential candi dates, but lost to Baxter Miller. "The platform represents what I believe to be some of the most important needs of the student body and student government. It is, however, far from complete since the suggestions made to me during the coufse of the campaign will compose 4 large part of the final program,' the independent! candidate said. His platform promised to: 1. Work for installment of tele phones on each floor of every dormitory. 2. Publish a weekly information sheet on events in the executive branch of student government. 3. Work for ' regular Infirmary visiting hours. 4. Establish more recreational opportunities oh weekends. 5. Centralize voting places. 6. Work with: the administration to establish a more liberal class cut policy, hisher pay scale for self-help students, coed visiting in all men's dormitory social rooms and better administration-student relations. 7. Put more emphasis on gradu ate students' needs. 8. Oppose any plan to restrict students from keeping automobiles on campus. . 9. Urge closer contact and more co-operation between student bodies of Carolina, WC and State. 10. Conduct all business in a non-partisan manner, letting ma jority student opinion prevail on important issues, including NSA. 11. Appoint students to all stu dent government positions entirely on the basis of qualifications rath er than political affiliation. Sumner Won't 'Pound Doors' Newest independent Tommy Bumner said yesterday that he plans to "go where the students can hear what I have to offer" and give a series of dormitory discus sion programs. "Students have complained for years about having their studies interrupted by politicos coming around and pounding on their doors throughout the evenings pre ceding elections. For this reason I am not going to conduct a 'door pounding' campaign," declared Sumner. "I will appear at announced times and dates in the social rooms of the various dormitories to pre sent my views and to answer ques tions," he added.

Young Adults There will be a meeting of the Young Adult Group of the Meth odist Church tonight at 7:30 p.m. in - the Wesley Lounge of the church. An Editorial Revival Dead for a quarter, the Carolina Quarterly seeks a fin ancial revival Thursday night when a bill asking for help will be introduced. Subscribers to the campus literary magazine got no issue during the Winter berm but will get two issues this quarter One, an all campus affair, according to the editors. The Quarterly in the last few years has sagged financial ly and, in the eyes of many students, also in the literary realm. The charges are: i. The Quarterly does not carry on the traditions of good writing that the University of North Carolina is known for. 2. The magazine is too aloof from students. 3. It does not contribute to the fulfillment of the needs of students with literary minds. Such charges, true or not are grave. They are worthy of the best consideration for they represent the feelings of many students. We feel that the Quarterly is making an attempt to vaporize his discontent. From what we can learn, they have sought financial help from everywhere possible and are getting it; they have made an earnest endeavor to secure more student material, and they have tried to make the magazine more appealing. - As the Faculty Advisory Board meets to choose an editor today, they should also seek some long range plans for putting the Quarterly on a sound footing. The need for a good literary magazine has not diminished. The poten tialities of a tradition established in 1844 and continued by outstanding Carolinians including Thomas Wolfe are ever present.
