Dulles, in testimony made public yesterday, said that unless he U. S. act.- fast with help for the strategic Mideast "it is our definite belief that this area is very likely to be lost." ' "And if it is lost," Dulles said, "it will be the greatest victory" that the Soviet Communists could ever have gained because if they feet this area they in effect will have gotten Western Europe without a war." Dulles painted this grave picture of the situation in a closed ses sion of the Hf,u, Foreign Affairs Committee last Tuesday. The com mittee made pubjic his testimony tonight after making security dfel tions. He was testifying for President Eisenhower's plan for eco nomic aid to Middle East Nations and for authority to fight if neces sary to counter any overt Communist aggression in the area.

Is there any difference between gravitation and gravity? What good are the (theories? ' These are a few of the questions which may be propounded by students.. All of the bodies in the universe, from heavenly bodies to the smallest particle of matter; have a mutual attraction for each toher, and, if free to move, will move toward one another. This is the gravi tational theory. Because it involves all kinds of bodies, it is often re ferred to as universal gravitation. . . The force of attraction i in direct proportion to the product of the masses of bodies under consideration and varies inversely as the square of the distancebetween them. . : Gravitation is always working, and in no way can it be destroyed. In formula, a gravitational constant is the force a body weighing one gram exerts on a body of the same proportion at a distance of one centimeter. " V Sir Isaac .Newton, English physicist and , philosopher, is given credit for discovering gravitation; he was greatly affected by Johannes Kepler's work and the experiments of Henry jCavendish" helped estab lish universal application. , Vs I Many times, gravitation is thoroughly confused with gravity. Al though the latter is used almost synonymously with gravitation, there is a detinue Distinction. Gravitation is the attractive force acting to draw bodies together; gravity indicates that' specific force of gravitation operating between the earth and other bodies which are drawn to the earth. This latter force, which focuses on a central point within this body or any body and which is referred to as the center of gravity, is the causation of this body's weight. ... Gravity s force varies in different locales, but the generally ac cepted velocity of a falling body, as a standard for normal calculations is 32 ft. (or 980cm) per second at" sea level. This means a freely falling body, e.g. in a vacuum, falls at the rate of 32 f e. per irecond at the end of the first second, 64 ft. per second at the end qf the second second, etc. Galilee's e" periments with iron balls is 'a classic example of this theory. Physics is the science which the relationships between them' weight and occupies space. ii, So gravitational physics is the related in the universe and,; especially In atomic theory where matter is, Irt "accordance with the kinetic 'nieculalfVtheory and the nature and internal structure of the. molecules themselves, !deals with matter in the inore general way, with I material bodies and -the - forces acting upon and between them, .considering their' motion and measuring their energy. t those names beginning with "M". The two main tests which were given in Sept. were the Ohio .Stale University Psychological Examina tion (OSU) and the Kuder fTest. The latter test is particularly valu able in revealing vocational areas in which the girl has definite in terests. Results of the testing program, plus other information gained, dur ing the coed's interview, are plac ed on a personal file in the Dean of Women's Office. An active file is . kept in-that office during the girl's stay at the University. Pol lowing graduation of the student, the file is placed on a graduate file record for two years and is finally transferred to the Central Records Office, where it is kept indefinitely. All information- gained in the in terviews, and ail personal records are maintained on a confidential basis and are not revealed outside the Dean of Women's Office. These records have been found found to be very useful in aiding the student after graduation; Pro spective, employers may obtain cer tain information from the records by writing to the Dean of Women's Nobody's Headed Yet For Moon But Maybe WASHINGTON (AP) It isn't that somebody's . going to the moon tomorrow, but Rep. Karsten (D.-Mo.) wants Congress to be prepared. So, he has introduced a bill to create a joint congressional com mittee on extraterre'stial explora tion. "And, I grant you there'll be very little junketeering on' that committee," Karsten said, sitting in his earthboind office here. He said he had the idea before President Eisenhower mentioned agreements to control "outer space missile and satellite development" in his state of the union message last Thursday. The president Was talking about international control as a disarmament measure. , i.e. the acceleration of gravity, used deals with matter and energy and matter being anything which has E r. study f ine energies of matter as Office. In addition to providing help in job securing, the records are often valuable to girls who go on to enter graduate or profession al schools. Dean of Women Katherine Car michael considers the interviews "an integral part of the work of this office." Two such interviews are held with each girl during her work at the University, one in the junior year and a departure con ference held in the senior year. "It is a very good opportunity for the girls to tell the University what they do and do not like about its program," stated Dean Car michael. UNC Profs Book One Best A book" written by a UNC pro fessor of English has been select ed as one of the "best 1956 South ern books of the year." "The Kenan Professorships" by Dr. A. C. Howell was announced as among the 25 winners chosen by the Southern Books Committee f of the Southeastern Library Assn. IThe jury consisted of a number of prominent bookmen from out side the Southern region. Published by the University Press, Dr. Howell's book contains illustrations by William Meade Prince and Adrian Lamb. Selection is based on "excellence of design and format," with con tent being considered "only inso far as the design reflects the sub ject. During 1957, several sets of winning hooks will be sent out as a travelling , exhibit to Southern college, university and public li braries. Oian V. Cook of the UNC Libr ary, is a member of the Southern Books Committee. Of WUNC-TV Second Anniversary WUNC-TV is moving ahead on the observance .'of . its second an niversary. "Quite a few programs now on will be moved' and new courses will be added,' said a station source. WUNC-TV Channel 4 is primar ily an educational station. Since its opening January 8, 1955, the station has broadcast college cred it courses, the special session of the Legislature, and a number of other remote telecasts. Director Earl Wynn and assist ant director John Young of the Chapel Hill Station plan the pro grams with ' William Young, Greensboro director, and Roy Johnston, Raleigh director. The chief v engineer of WUNC-TV is Alan Mclntyre. WUNC-TV has the only active remote unit in this area. Through this unit it has made available a number of special public interest programs which have, been carried on a statewide basis. A complete new schedule is planned for the new semester be ginning Feb. 3. This includes a new German course and Legisla tive reports beginning in Febru ary, according to a WUNC-TV spokesman. . "Quite a -few programs now on will vbe moved and new courses will be added," said the station source. ' One of the " newest highlights concerning "the educational pro gram IS the station's plan to re lay' NBC educational programs to North 'Carolina audiences!' These programs will begin in March and are offered exclusively to ed Excellent Writers Are Rare "The strangest fact about the writing of novels is that only a few people in any generation have the innate creative power that can produce great fiction, and that these rare people are totally ' unlike one another." This is a statement made by Lionel B. Stevenson, James B. Duke Professor of English at Duke University, when he addressed the UNC English Club here Friday night. Novelists are "usually not aware that they possess the gift," Steven son stated." "They start in other professions, or in writing other kinds of literature, and discaver their genius for fiction more or less by accident. The people who begin their careers confidently planning to be novelists seldom achieve the highest quality of their work," he said. Stevenson cited as one of the best examples of this William Makepeace Thackeray, who was the topic of Stevenson's talk entitled, "Thackeray: the Reluctant Novel ist." Reviewing Thackeray's career, Stevenson stated that the author's first ambition was to be an artist. Before he produced, "Vanity Fair," his first novel, he had work ed as a newspaperman and writer of books of travel, criticism, and humor. Stevenson stated that many of the extinctive qualities of his novels arise from this diversity of interest. No other type of literature has ever given the impression of cov ering the whole range of human experience as fully as the novels of Thackeray's time, just a cen tury ago. Modern novelists have tried to give better artistic unity to their work but have thus lost the scope that was brought into each book by Thackeray, the Duke professor said.- - ' , Celebrates ucational stations throughout the nation by NBC. Remote telecasts include sym phonic concerts from Greensboro, the semi-monthly "Project Health" series from the Division of Health Affairs of UNC, and the weekly church service from Raleigh. The church service and the daily "Today on the Farm" are rebroadcast by other stations in the area. College credit courses enroll ment has increased with each course offered on the station. The past curriculum also has included in-school programs since the fall of 1955. Dr. David G. Monroe of the UNC Political Science Depart ment taught the first college cred it course. Since WUNC-TV has been on the air, programming has evolved to the present balance between formal education, general interest programs, and cultural entertain ment.

After all the controversy be tween coeds and UNC males this year, a man stopped a coed on the street and asked her that ques tion. Smilingly she answered "yes." "How do you like it here I suppose there are enough men!" The man's daughter wants to transfer here next year from a girl's school. Like all fathers, he wanted a girl's opinion of the so cial situation. "She has a wonderful back ground. I wouldn't worry about her grades at all." "Would she need a car? I no ticed all these cars and thought they must belong to students." Committee Still Mum On Candidates The nominating commitlee for UNC chancellor Saturday spent practically "most of . the day" conducting interviews of candi dates for the position. The committee's chairman. It. Mayne Albright of Raleigh, gent ly sidestepped questions of who was interviewed. He confirmed reports, however, that among those considered thus far were Dr. J. L. Godfrey, history professor and Dr. Wiliam II. Po tsat, associate professor of Phi losophy. Godfrey met with the committer a few weeks ago; Po teat was interviewed Saturday. He hinted these two were not necesarily higher rated than were others. "The committee has made no rankings yet," he said.' Present UNC Chancellor Robert B. House will retire in June. The committee divided into three groups, (trustees( alumni and UNC faculty members) has reported it hopes to- have a report on its work to turn over to Con solidated University President William C. Friday around the first of March. Friday would then make his recommendation to the Board oi Trustees. ( , '- Akka Removed Soon SUEZ,5 Egypt, '.' Lt. Gen. Raymond A.
