Complete Ofl Fails After Talceoff ignite. t:Xm It was one of the most specta cular launchings ever witnessed at the Cape. The area was illuminated for miles as a light cloud cover re flected the bright flash of fire at launching. Th third and as of now final Air Force bid to place a satel lite around the moon failed at an altitude of 1,000 miles, far short pf its 220.000-mile distant target. The mighty rocket tumbled and disintegrated in the earth's atmos phere somewhere over Central Af rica, aboat 7,500 miles from the launching site. Even as scientists studied flight performance data to pinpoint the trouble, Army moon probers were waiting in the wings. It is expected ihat the Army will get the first of its two chances to "shoot the moon" about Dec. 5. High hopes rode with the rocke as it blasted majestically skyward. The odds for success still were one in 10, but thty were the same when Pioneer I streaked 90,000 miles out of this world just a month ago. Ironically, Ted Gordon, the 28-year-old Douglas test conductor whose word was law during the critical moments that led up to lauching. said "It was the best mis sile countdown I've ever been through." Except for a few minor hitches, everything functioned perfectly during the fina! phase of the 12 hour preliminary countdown that preceded zero hour. Flight Training Free For Dozen Seniors A dozen senior men are getting 35 hours free llight training this semester from an instructor at Wil son Air Service in Raleigh.

Spirituals Are 'Y' TV Topic Negro spirituals is the topic for the weekly Y-sponsored television show "Dimensions" Monday night at 9:3f on WUNC-TV, Channel 4. With Jim Carse of the Y as nar rator and with a special chorus, these three basic elements of the spiritual will be emphasized: the words, the rhythm and communica tion through both the words and rhythm. Script writer for "Negro Spiri tuals: The Message, The Implica tions, The Insight" was Louise Crumbley, a senior here. One basic element, the words of the spiritual, indicate the mesh ing of sophistocated theological and Biblical doctrines in the ordinary hum-drum life of a people in bond age. The meaning and understanding of their discovery comes in the sec ond basic element, the rhythm. Communication from the indivi dual and among individuals is the third basic element. The characteristics of Negro spiri tuals have been described as: straight forwardness and universal truths through the use of the ordi nary. Pledge Officers Elected Kappa Delta sorority recently elected pledge class officers, for 1958-59.

Rooms will be open Friday night, Saturday afternoons and nights, and Sunday night. They will be closed on football afternoons. Scott said, "Dorms will have to get their social rooms in good shape homely, livable, chairs in good condition, pictures hung, tro phy cases perhaps." Several dorms have already started painting their social rooms. Machinery will grind into crush ing the final obstruction to the agreement when the construction crews go into the dorms, Scott in dicated. "The big thing in our way now is the partitioning." Scott pointed out that 911 students have voted for and only 14 against the agreement in reports from all men's dorms except Avery. Rules require that each men's dorm vote at the end of the trial period if they wish to continue the visiting policy. , A revision of the rules requires that a dorm officer be present in the dormitory and available at all times. Women tyill be allowed in social rooms and' entry halls only during Friday 7 to J2 p.m., Saturday 2 to 12 p.m." and Sunday from 2 to 11 p.m. The rooms will be closed until 4:30 on football Saturdays.

After dinner Rho Chapter Presi dent Harold Johnson introduced Chancellor-Emeritus House who started his speech on the topic "Pioneering with a Harmonica Solo." House said "World War II moved the students right out of the University. Bill was a member of that generation that put us back on the right trick after the war.'' "In most fraternities, graduates wear their pin on their under shirts. In APO you wear it on your character. One of the greatest things about Bill is that when he could have commanded other forms of success, he chose service to God, man and country in scout ing by the investment of himself." Dn John Shutt followed House, speaking on Roth's life and honors. "Bill served in nearly every' po. sition in scouting at one time or another. He said that he might as well go into professional scouting since that was all he did and he might as well egt paid for it." Shutt pointed out that Roth has received the Distinguished Service Award of the Order of the Arrow, WWW and is now the Director of Field Service in Occoneechee Council, BSA.

Mac Long, who helped Bill refound Rho chapter said, "Our first law of growing was to do something. We have something great in AP'O rnd would have to hate a man not to tell him of it." Speaking of early service pro jects, Long said, "A job didn't have to be big for Bill to do it. It just had to be there. A usual comment that a brother made at this time was 'Bill has been load ing me down with work and I love it'." President Roth then told the brothers at th'e dinner that Rho chapters first service project was to furnish a crippled girl from Florida with "pushers" to wheel her from class to class. The girl, in gratitude, tooled the chapter log book. Roth said "APO is the largest and the best men's fraternity in the nation." He referred to the principle of APO, service as "an attitude and spirit." Harold Johnson then led the brothers in the Toast song and dis missed the meeting.

All three units also showed ar equal adeptness at defense as the Cavaliers never got a serious threat going all afternoon. KLOCHAK SCORES FIRST The first time they got their hands on the ball Carolina march ed straight down the field 59 yards for a touchdown. On the first play from scrimmage big Don Klochak smashed the entire distance into the end zone but a clipping penal ty nullified the play. Klocnak did it again a few moments later, from the 8, and this time it stuck, Jack Cummings passed to Moe DeCantis for the extra 2 to give the Tar Heels an 8-0 lead with 10:50 still left in the first quarter. Just before the end of the quar ter the Hills struik again with Skip Clements hitting Don Kemp er in the end zone with a 27-yard pass play Clements threw the ball just as he was hit but it was still a perfect strike. The try for 2 failed, but Carolina owned a 14-0 lead with the first quarter not yet over. 1 UNC LEADS 22-0 AT HALF After driving1 from their own 45 to the Virginia 10, Jack Cummimrs took to the air and found Emil De Cantis waiting in the cross-stripes for the Tar Heels' third touch down. Cummings nnscAH n tw Cantis again for the extra points to give his mates a 22-0 lead. The half ended with that count on the scoreboard. The boys from Chapel Hill start ed the second half exactly the way they did the first, scoring the first time they got the pigskin. Cum mings again elected to pass, and Al Goldstein grabbed his aerial at the Virginia 40 then romped the remaining yardage for the score. The play covered 63 yards in all. Don Klochak bulled over for two more points to put the Tar Heels on the big end of a 30-0 count. A mixture of the second and third units launched a sustained drive from the Carolina 34, clim axed by Sonny Folckomer's 1-yard dive into paydirt. Ed Lipski was stopped short of the goal, but Caro lina was ahead 36-0. Danny Droze put on a real run ning exhibition for the last touch down, gaining 31 and 9 yards, and finally smaskin over from the 1. This TD pulled the Heels to their final margin, 42-0. So many players looked great for Carolina, it would be impossi ble to single out individuals. The defense had Virginia's vaunted air attack well at hand, allowing only 6 completions. Virginia did gain 141 yards on the ground, but most ly -against the third unit. Sophomore quarterback, Skip Clement was perhaps the biggest surprise of the day with his pin point long range passing. The en tire Carolina travelling team got into the fray, . as" Coach Jim Ta turn emptied his bench.
