' UNC Males Invited To Dance At Averett College Tonight Carolina's male students have been extended an invitation to at tend a dance tonight at Averett College, Danville, Va. Announcement of the dance to start at 8 p.m. came Friday from the Student Activities Com mittee at Averett. The dance will be formal al though dark suits will be accept able, according to the announce ment. The theme will be "Winter Wonderland." Miss Nancy Miller, chairman of the SAC, said "Even though ths letter comes as a rather late invitation, we hope it will be poss ible for many of the boys to come." Carolina male students wrho at tended a dance there last fall reported they - had an excellent time.

T. stands for, in case you don't know, -Pushing Hub by Through.'' College that is. This Pushing Hubby Through has now become an accepted phenomenon on college camp uses throughout the nation and UNC is no exception. At last count, about 18 per cent of Carolina's 6,500 students were married males. . It follows that while these married men are going to school, their families have to eat- Be" cause of this, it usually falls the lot of the wife to go out and earn the daily bread. The University itself is the biggest source of bread for these families. More than half of ap proximately 300 secretarial and clerical positions are filled by working student wives. WORKING WIVES In fact, J. A. Williams, UNC personnel director, says he does n't see how the University could function without their help. ' "At the salaries we can af ford to pay, we would have a hard time attracting enough out side help to fill these positions," he said. "We need the girls and the girls need the wrork, so it's a case of mutual aid." He added that many of the, departments even prefer to have student wives to fill vacancies on their staffs.

Mrs. Babcock is expected to remain there for several weeks. educated and already trained," he commented. However, there are some dis advantages to hiring wives, Williams said, since there is a rapid turn-over because the girls usually quit work when their husbands graduate. The maternity rate among student wives is also high. The personnel office not only places student wives in other departments, but also has four working on its own staff. The more than 15P wives em ployed by the University in cludes a large number who work in North Carolina Memorial Hos pital. And in addition to those who work at the University and the hospital, many wives are employed in private business. About 75 work at the Hos pital Savings Association, far example. Many others work in other businesses ; in Chapel Hill and neighboring towns. They do everything from teaching school to clerking in department stores.

Officials indicated the latest draft deals not only with American willingness to fight to halt outright Communist aggression in the area, but also mentions a danger of: 1. "Indirect aggression" by Russia through its support of any Middle East nation whose forces might launch an attack. 2. Soviet efforts to subvert independent Mideast countries by means short of military aggression. Officials sajd the core of the re.;oIuti.n remains a request thai Congress give Eisenhower standby authority to use American militarj forces to stop any direct Communist aggrtion in the region. It was understood the newest draft, repoited to be the 12th in the past five days, did not ask Congress to allow use of American troop to combat either subversion or "indirect aggression." These other two threats are noted as serious problems which the Eisenhower administration will seek lo combat in its drive to middle east tension. As part of that drive, Eisenhower will also propose at an unur.ial Saturday joint session of the Senate and House that Congress author ize a two-year program of economic aid to Middle East nations, starting next July. f The President will go before Congress to detail the proposed resolution at 12:30 p. m.

McCarthy Attacks Ike For 'Purge' WASHINGTON (AP) In a sharp attack cn President Ei-er. hower, Sen. McCarthy (R-Wis.) said Friday Democratic control of the Senate "is the direct responsibility of a so-called Republican Presi dent." McCarthy said Republican failure to win a majority of the Senate last November was due to what he calico the "purge" of former GOP Sen. Herman Welker of Idaho, and ho added: "Eisenhower did not do it inadvertently. He did it deliberately. He knew what he was doing." He blamed Welker" s defeat on a Collier's Magazine article Oct. 26 by Paul Hoffman, a close friend of Eisenhower's which he aid described Welker as "a man of dangerous thinking and reckless conduct." McCarthy said Hoffman, whom he described as "a real throw back on the human race if ever there was one," wrote that Welker "had no place in the Republican Party." "This would not moan much if it were only Mr. Hoffman rap ing it," McCarthy said, "But there was a carefully planned ncv conference immediately after, at which President Eisenhower placed his stamp of approval on the article attempting to read out of the party a man who was fighting for his political life as a candidate of the party."
