The concert is scheduled a.t 8 p.m. Tuesday in Hill Music Hall and is open to the public without charge. Dr. Mason's first selection will be "Suite in E. Minor" by Rameau, a French composer. Dr. Mason tra-ucribed the suite from micro film and enlarged it in order to get a performing version. The music is not generally available in print in this country. Originally it was written for the harpsichord and is an example of early 18th century keyboard mu sic. The second new wore will be 'pictures at an Exhibition" by the knowing that I shall be unable to do my tull duty." . The new Prim Minister is expected to take ofifce tomor- row. Butler, 54, is a cool, intellec tual type who has spent most of his career as a quiet theorist in politics. Both he and Harold MacMil lan, another possibility for. the job, arc short on what is knovrn as "the common, touch." But so was Eden. MacMillan, 62, is Chancellor of the Exchequer bosj or the nation's austerity program. There still was a chance that a dark horse might emerge for the job, and n nr. m a n n mm mM : ynvziti CHAPEL Eden, by his policies, placed a strain cu those reUtions without precedent in thi century. Even Eden's political enemies coiiceded that few British lead ers have played in harder luck. He was the. bi loser in. the abortive British-French military intervention in Egjpt. Egyptian Piesident Gamal Abdel Nasser, whom the . British and French hoped to unseat as one product of their Suez invasion, still rides secure. Eden's troubles started almod at the moment that Sir Winston Churchill, the raw who had guided him to the op, turned over the Prime Minister's seat to his care.

Duke English Scholar To Talk On Thackeray Dr. Lionel Stevenson, James B. Duke Professor of English at Duke University, will pre sent a talk on William M. Thackeray, "The Reluctant No velist," at the bimonthly meeting of the English Club today at 8 p.m. in the Library Assembly Room. ' x The meeting has" been moved from Friday to Thursday night for this month. Dr. Stevenson is a former Chairman of the Dept. of English at the University of Southern California. Among his writings are such works as "Darwin Among the Poets", "The Ordeal of George Meredith", and "The Showman of Vanity Fair", the life of William Thackeray. among those mentioned in this category was Duncan Sandys, Sir ' Winston Churchill's son-in-law. Eden succeeded Churchill in April, 1955. The dominant party in the House of Commons forms Britain's government. It normally designates the prime Minister, subject' to 'the approval of the sovereign, in this cae Queen Elizabeth II, to whom Eden submitted his resignation. v . Eden, to the end, stuck by his determination "never to apologize" for the invasion o'f Egypt a venture that split Britain and im periled this country's relations with the United States. In a farewell statement, he said only: "When I returned to this country a month ago (from a three weeks rest in Jamaica) I hoped that my health had been suffi ciently restored to enable me to carry out my duties effectively ;for some considerable time. That hope has not been realized. "I do not feel that it is right for me to continue in office as jthe Queen's first minister knowing that I shall be unable to do my 1 full duty ,by my sovereign and the country. ; "I have therefore decided with the utmost regret that I must tender my resignation to the Queen which her majesty has been dermen I o Do You Love The Human Race?

Rogers 1956 Journalism Award contest for his highway safety campaign. A S500 grant included among his rewards, to go to a journalism school of his choice. was given to the UNC School of Journalism. ( Morris, saying his education had been only in the ''university of hard knocks," praised the lo cal school for its excellent teach ing. He told students that his great est satisfaction, and joy in his business had been in doing a little to relieve the suffering of the human race. "If you are not interested in this," he said, "you should get a job on a daily." Morris .cited some of his stor ies which he felt had in some way relieved this suffering. Out standing among these was a story written about a crippled man who, wanting a wheelchair,, had placed roller skates on a rocker and used a hook to maneuver his inven tion. Fruits of the story were not only a wheelchair for the man, but also the comment from the ! man that Morris was ' the best friend I ever had." Morris felt the following state ment summed up his attitude to ward country newspaper produc tion: ''If you love the human race in all its weakness afid strength and glory and sadness and pathos Offices in Graham Memorial ISCUSS I .

Weinman mentioned the possi bility of constructing Mich lots "west of the Forest Theater." Student body President Bob Young said yesterday that this was legally impossible because of the terms of the deed which states that the area must reamin a wood ed area. Weinman criticized the Student Party for "refusing to pass a bill setting up a committee to study the parking situation because President Bob Young already had established such a committee." The committee. Weinman said, has accomplished little or nothing. Student Party Chairman Jim Holmes said yesterday the Young appointed Traffic Advisory Com mittee was set up to look into the whole situation, including the possibility of having more parking lots. , Young made the following state ment upon hearing of Weinman's accusations: "I will not attempt to justify the action or lack of action of the Traffic Advisory Commission, but will express my complete feel ings about the overall situation in a statement on Thursday (today)."
