Over $20 million is earmarked for state supported schools. The University of North Caro lina is designated for allocations totalling $5,330,000. Comprising the University total are ten pro jects urgently needed in view of anticipated enrollments. The projects are: 1. Renovations of laboratories in Venable Hall $140,000. Seven laboratories in the chemistry building are more than 30 years old. Considerable equipment and installations are obsolete. Utility lines in the laboratories are so deteriorated that repairs cannot be made. 2. Geology and Geography build ing $750:000.

Located on the northern side of the campus, GM, as it is commenly known, is away from most of the c'assroom and dormitory buildings. Although construction on the tuilding began in 1924. it did not reach completion until 1931. In those seven years, many other buildings had been added to the touth of GM. Then, from 1931 until the present, the erection of other tuiidings has moved the center of the campus further south. Thus, the location of GM causes it to be isolated from the central activity on campus. Also, between 1924 and 1931, the University experienced a period of rapid expansion in its enrollment. By the time of the GM completion Yack Pictures October 1-2: Freshmen Public Health Medical Student 1, 2, 3 Extension ($1.00 Late Fee): Seniors These plans had included two addi tional wings comprising a ballroom with a stage; several committee rooms and sleeping accommoda tions. Thus, attempts in the past to build a new student union have been numerous. In fact, appropriations for such a building appeared on the agenda of the last General As sembly. However, because of other pro jects, the GM appropriation was turned down. Although the submission of the budget is the business of the chan cellor, Howard Henry, director of Graham Memorial, says he feel that the need for a new building is great enough to include it on the next request. 4th Year Medical 4th Year Dentistry Third Year Law Women are to wear black sweat ers; men, coats, white shirts and ties.

Auditor Resigns Post Jesse II. Dedmond, auditor of the Student Activities Fund for the pijst two years, has resigned to accept a position with the Gordon Furniture Company of Asheville. A native of Cliffside Dedmond was a '49 graduate of UNC. He served as student body president during 1943-49, was in the Order of the Grail, the Golden Fleece, and a Phi Beta Kappa. He was also a member of Sigma Nu social fra ternity. Harold O'Toole, chairman of the Audit Board, has not yet stated when Dedmond's successor will be named. Dedmond left Saturday. graphy. After a survey the Uni versity requested one million dol lars, but the amount is cut by 25 per cent in the bond "package." 3. Additions to Swain Hall $425,000. 4. Botany building $750,000. Davie Hall dates from 1908. The front on the building is non-fireproof. A valuable library, expen sive laboratory equipment and per sonnel are in constant danger. 5. Addition to Hill Music Hall $485,000. 6. Foreign language building $750,000. In 1922, when Murphy Hall was built, the entire student enrollment was about 1,800; now there are 50 full-time faculty mem bers and some 3,300 students com prising the foreign language de partments alone. A separate build ing is definitely needed. 7. Additional equipment for physics $65,000. 8. Dormitories for 700 students (50 percent of cost) $375,000. 9. Classrooms for the school cf public health $90,000. 10. Public Health building $1,000,000. The School of Public Health, now accommodated in eleven different places, looms as the largest item on the program at a time when North Carolina finds itself badly in need of train: ed public health workers. The main worry by those in the Consolidated University is the pos sible lack of public concern for the bond issue approved by the state legislature last summer. Consolidated University Presi dent William C. Friday said, "We will be grateful for help that can be given by students in getting our message to its people on the bond issue." At the same time President Friday expressed his ap preciation for the work done last spring by the Committee on State Affairs led by Norman B. Smith in campaigning for the University. "We are very grateful for the support by the University students during the 1959 sessions." he add ed, "This work was most effective." Di-Phi Reject Use Of In Debate Over Steel Injunction Strike STUDENT-FACULTY SEMINAR The second Student-Faculty Sem- r 41. 1 : ...:n u editor- jHSJI UI uie acaueiim; ycui win uc sponsored by the bchool ot Public Health in the assembly room of the Library Monday 2:30 p.m. Guest speaker will be Dr. Theo dore Klumpp, president of the Winthrop Laboratories of New York City, and the subject will be "Must Time Take its Toll." About 35 students braved Gracie, Tuesday night, to debate with Di Phi society. By an overwhelming vote the society indicated its dis aproval for any forcible settlement of the steel strike. The resolution was Presidential use of the Taft-Hartley injuction in settling the 11-week-old steel strike. Rep. Ron Pruett introduced the resolution for the Ways and Means committee. He contended that U. S. would lose her world steel mar ket if the strike were not settled swiftly .v Alreadj- several countries "w ere underselling American " pro ducers, even in continental U. S. Speaking against the resolution Rep. Gary Greer seated that the Taft-Hartley Act was illegal and should not be invoked. All that the act would accomplish would be the postponement of the inevitable day when a settlement had to be reach ed. The Taft-Hartley injuction, point ed out Rep. Glen Johnson, would accomplish nothing new in the way of mediation, for federal mediators had been trying for months without success to find a solution. It would break the strike to the detriment of the steel workers' union. Joe Straley clarified a number of points concerning the Taft-Hartley Act. Miss Ingy Kaden stated that man agement could not afford to raise the wages without increasing the price of steel. Rep. Dave Matthews asserted that the act was a "union-breaker" as well as a "strike-breaker" meas ure Unions must regain the prestige they have lost since the recent Con gressional labor bill. Rep. Hal Sieber rejected the argu ment of Rep. Pruett, contending that during the 80-day cooling pe riod steel companies would stock pile enough steel to last a more costly strike. A amusing incident in the debate occured when the President Pro Temp Greer refused to surrender the chair to the president. After a parliamentary wrangle he surrend ered it. The president announced at the close of the meeting that the Di Fhi will have a picnic Oct. 11, to winch representatives and their wives are invited. The society ad journed to the Rathskeller. Next Tuesday the society will de bate a resolution calling upen the University to adopt the European system of education Several dele gates of the National Student Asso ciation are expected to .attend.

All facilities including the station transmitter are located at the Swain Hall location. WUNC will sign on 6 p.m. every evening with 'The Dinner Hour," 55 minutes of recorded dinner mu sic. During the remainder of the evening the station will broadcast a variety of musical programs, commentaries and discussion pro grams. Two news reports, 6:55 p.m. and 10 p.m., will be broad cast every evening. The station will again broadcast live every Tuesday evening the Hill Hall concert series. Norman Cordon, opera extension director will again host the two hour pre sentation "Let's Listen To Opera every Friday evening at fi:30. Station officials are also discuss ing the possibility of broadcast live coverage of some UNC footbal games. The favorable results from the experiment conducted last year in four campus dorms of sending the station's programs directly to dorms by "carrier current are now being studied. On the basis of these studies the station wil decide the feasibility of extending this service to all dormitories on campus. Two Faculty Members Present Papers In N. J. Two faculty members of the School of Medicine will present papers this week before the Ameri can College of Surgeons meeting in Atlantic City, N. J. They are Dr. Charles E. Flowers r., associate professor of obste trics and gynecolgy, and Dr. Colin Thomas Jr., associate professor of surgery. Dr. Flowers will speak twice, once on "Elective and Indicated nduction of Labor" and also on "Anesthesia in Obstetrical Difficulties." Dr. Thomas will lecture on 'Isotopic Labeling of Biliary Tract Stones. Charlie Gray, student government president, has announced another step in the student movement to ward obtaining a new campus stu dent union. He has written a letter to Chan cellor William B. Aycock concern ing discussion of a new union with the chancellor's cabinet some time next week The letter requested that a student union be placed on the University's improvement list to be completed by December. Gray expressed student govern rrmt hopes for a consolidated stu dent union which would include pre sent union facilities plus an under graduate library. He believes that this one-floor li brary would place more education al emphasis on the union and give in better chances for construction. G. M.

UNC Photo By STAN FISHER (Last of a series on Carolina Debating Societies) Shortly after their formation, the dialectic and Philanthropic societies decided to begin building their own libraries. So successful was this ven ture that by 1812, along with an en umeration of other University im Drovements and advantages, the Raleigh Register carried the note that the societies' libraries each contained 800 to 1,000 volumes. In 1839, the two libraries con tained a combined total of about 7, 000 volumes. By 1875 this number has grown to about 14,000 books. Eleven years later, the Di and the Phi, as they had come to be known, consolidated their collections with the University library. They then had about 9,000 volumes each. Meanwhile, the quality of the de bates grew witliin the two societies, although the two bodies may have lacked a fraternal feeling for each ether since an intense rivalry ex isted on campus ibetween the east- err, and western If orth Carolina sec tions and was carried over into the societies. 1 The Di represffited the West, the Phi the East. B$h made fervent at tempts for the fjyalties of entering students. In 1838 a schism developed main ly in the Di which produced a third society, the Dt;lphians. Only one member of the IVhi joined these dis senters who asktd trustee recogni tion. " Two reasons pJbmpted the seces sion: the bitter slctional feeling be tween east and vest and opposition to the strictness 4f Universty rules requiring morning prayers and com pulsory chapel attendance among others. A committee formed to arbitrate the grievances between the groups, termed it "inexpedient" to form a third society. The Delphians agreed to dissolve their organization. After this spat, the Di and Phi returned to working on mutual pro jects, some of them designed deli berately to win back the allegiance each had lost during the secession. The most successful of the later projects was one by which the two societies agreed to alternately elect seme member each year to speak before the alumni and senior class Both societies annually sponsored orators for Commencement Day. These were generally of exception ally high quality. As one visitor to the 1906 commencement exercises remarked, "Those students make far better speeches than one hears made by men of distinction at'simil iar gatherings in our larger cities." Seemingly interest in the debating bodies declined considerably be tween 1899 and 1926. In that year resolutions before both groups call ing for consolidation threatened to end 131 years of separate meetings, i The move failed and separation continued until spring, 1959. Last spring, modern college life caught up with the South's oldest literary societies. Membership for the previous academic year in Di was down to 12 and 20 in the Phi. Too many distractions and a lag- ging interest in me anciem an oi debating caused the merger, after 164 years of separation, to the Dial ectic and Philanthropic Literary So ciety, as it is now called. The Phi, not too long before, had re-organized itself after the State House of Representatives had adopt ed the title of Philanthropic Assem bly. The Di had long patterned itself after the State Senate, going under the title of Dialectic Senate. The 1930s witnessed a breakdown cf tradition in both societies as coeds were admitted to member ship for the first time. The Phi went first in 1730; the Di, thinking the Phi a bit hasty and might regret its decision later, held out until 1935 before admitting its first girl. The present student governmenl system at Carolina is perhaps the most important gift of the two so cieties to the modern campus. From 1E75 to 1904, the societies' chief rev sponsibility was governing the stu dent body except for the law and medical students. But in 1904 the. Student Council was created, taking over this function; and in 1946 the. present form of student government was set up. String Quartet Gives Concert Oct. 12 In GM The Juilliard String Quartet, will perform in Hill Hall October 12 in a concert sponsored by the Gra ham Memorial Series. The world traveling Quaretet comprising Robert Mann and Isi dore Cohen, violinists, Ralph Hill- yer, violist, and Claus Adam, cell ist will start the concert at 8 p.m. Being one of the Graham Me morial Series, all UNC students will be admitted free. Wives of students will be admitted for 50 cents. H any seats remain after 7:45, they may be purchased for $1 by townspeople. On their 1958 European Tourr the Juilliard String Quartet was hailed from both sides of the Iron Curtain as one of "the greatest string quartets in the mcdera .world."
