f Cleanliness and sanitation Protect the health of the nation IT VOLUME LII-iSW Business Legislature Kills Proposal To Esta Petitions Pace Campaign For 'liAbblishmeiit- Of Point System Bill Set Up - Limitation In Election Lists By Sue Brubaker The bill to establish residence re quirements for voting in general cam pus elections was defeated, ten to five, by the student legislature when it met Thursday night. Introduced by the Elections Commit tee, the bill would have limited voting and the right to hold any .campus of fices to those students who have been resident students in the university for a period of at least three months prior to the date of elections. Purpose The purpose of the bill was to elimi nate the problem of having a large group voting in campuselections who had not had time to become familiar ,tith the institutions of the university and to know the persons for whom they were voting. The main objections to the bill were that it would not be fair to those, especially uniformed men, who were interested in student government, and would feel that they were being de prived of their right to representation. This argument was followed up by the opinion that" establishing a resid ence requirement would not eliminate the problem of voters' not knowing the people for whom they were voting. The suggestion was made that "what we need is more adequate orientation, not the disenfranehisement of any per centage of the university students." Another Objection Another objection was that if the residence requirement would affect any large number of students, it would probably result in an unfair swinging of votes to the civilian students. On the other hand, if the bill would not affect any large proportion of the vot ing body, there would be very little necessity for passing it, and that it would probably cause unnecessary fric tion. - Voting privileges now remain the same as before. That is, any student enrolled in the university may vote at any general campus election. Sunday Concert An outstanding feature of the Sunday night concert in Graham Memorial this week will be Stra vinsky's Firebird Suite. By way of contrast, works of- Brahms, Wag ner, and Mozart will be played. Leading selections to be heard are The Academic Festival Over ture, Brahms; Selections from "Tristan and Isolde," Wagner; and The "Don Giovanni' Overture, Mo zart. The concert will be from 8:30 to 10:00 p.m. Dialectic Senate Installs Crisp and Ormand In First Regular Meeting of Winter Quarter Bill Crisp and Bob Ormand were inaugurated President and President-Pro-Tem of the Dialectic Senate Tuesday night when the Senate held its first meeting of the Winter quar ter. Other officers installed were Tiny Towel, Clerk; Kitty Kelly, Critic; Barbara' Swift, Treasurer; and Bud dy Glenn, Sergeant-at-Arms. Com mittees for the new quarter included an elected group to draft a new -Constitution, the Executive Committee, and a special Committee to report on Dignity and Reflections. The Dialectic Senate, usually re ferred to as the "Di Senate," is the second oldest literary society in the United States. It has had many fam ous men on its rolls, including James K. Polk, ninth President of the United States, and many other notables. Inaugural Address In his inaugural address, Crisp stated that "during the past year the Dialectic Senate has subsided into a lamentable rut. This conditioi? was precipitated by the coming of war and the ensuing confusion which inter- and Circulation : 8641 Bay ic k Philanthropic Assembly Will Begin Discussion on Post - The Philanthropic Assembly will inaugurate its first in a series ofNpro- grams on post-war planning Tuesday night at 7:30 in Phi Hall on fourth floor of New East with a discussion on "Churches and a Just and Durable Peace,' it was announced tonight by Speaker Frank Earnheart. Representatives from all the Protestant, Jewish, and Catholic groups on the campus have been invited to attend this and the YWCA will also participate in the discussion The need has been great for some time for a meeting of representatives of all the religious groups on the campus on a neutral meeting ground to discuss this all important question which is so vital to our security and the peace of the world after the war is won," asserted Earnheart. "As the tide of war rises each day toward the crest of final victory it becomes more imperative that plans for a just and. durable peace be formulated early, with concepts beyond that conceived of by the politicians." Qualified "The Phi Assembly, with its one hundred forty-eight years of service to the students, feels that no other or ganization is better qualified to act as host for such a gathering of all faiths," Earnheart stated. The Phi Assembly expressed hope that each and every student on the campus who regards the future of the United States in a cooperating world will take the time to take part in this meeting. The principals of the Atlantic SEC Will Present Operetta For Second Winter Program By Bob Rolnik On February 10, 11, and 12, the Student Entertainment Committee will present the second performance in its Winter series with Gilbert and Sullivan's operetta, "The Yeomen of the Guard," produced jointly by the Carolina Playmakers and the Music department. "The second stub in the SEC sea son booklet may be exchanged for a ticket to the operetta," explained Joe Salek, business manager of the Play makers. "Twenty-five cents will be refunded to all those students who also have a Playmakers Season tick et." "Joyful Evening" John Toms, of the music depart ment and Salek, co-directors of the show, promise the Memorial Hall au dience a "melodious, joyful evening of music and romantic comedy." The production is one of the largest un dertakings in the way of student en tertainment which has been planned for the Winter semester. The male CRISP rupted the routine of the whole cam pus." He then proceeded to warn against the danger of allowing the Di Serving Civilian and Military Stude CHAPEL HILL, N. C, SATURDAY, JANUARY 22, 1944 iffiMMCJfiKB War PlanninQ very important meeting.

A rehearsal schedule has been in effect since the quarter began and the "particularly large cast is now being whipped into the perfect co ordination necessary to such a com plicated production." The chorus is practicing separately and within the week the leading characters and the choral group will be brought together with the orchestra for the coordina tion of music and acting. Leading Actors The show brings together some of the leading University thespians and outstanding singers on the campus. Douglas Hume, speech professor on the Dramatic Arts staff takes over the popular role of the light-hearted, light-footed Jester, Jack Point. See SEC, page b to continue in such a state, explain ing that such continuance would "culminate in the failure of this body to fulfill its purpose on this campus." In concluding, Crisp said, "My first suggestion, as approved by the Executive Committee in its last meeting, is for the Di to participate in an -expansion of campus activities. This expansion should consist of bringing speakers here to stimulate greater response from students on current national, state, and local is sues." Forums, likewise, were men tioned as being considered part of the Di's activity this quarter. In its business session, the Di con sented to lend the pictures in DFHall for temporary exhibition in Graham Memorial Lounge and announced that three teams were being sponsored by the Di in the current campus debate tourney. , The bill for next week's discussion was read. It is: "Resolved, that the Dialectic Senate should go on record as opposing a fourth term for Presi- DI SENATE, page U k -x . -llilliiiillii1:?;;; m I jiift a i i i wiiwuwf AjTilifilil rKwi House Canvas Adds Impetus To Coe'd Action Action amor g co-eds in an at tempt to bring about abolishment of the point system received impetus yes terday, when those backing the move ment distributed petitions and plac ards among the co-eds.

These petitions will be submitted to the Senate when it meets next Wed nesday afternoon to consider the ques tion formally. System The noint svstem was originated sev . vi e . eral years agoj when the number of women at the jiniversity was quite a bit smaller than at present. At that time, only a few girls on campus held nearly all of tlje offices, and virtually controlled women's government. j ' , As it is ,now, the point system ascribes a certain number of points to each office and any membership in any campus organization. Each girl is limited to a maiimum of fifteen points. Arguments Those who are in favor of the con tinuance of tfye point system argue that without any restriction on the number of offices a girl may hold, a girl may take on more work than she could handle, and offices would ; not be so widely distributed as they are under the point system. Those who wish to see the system abolished feel that a point system is unwise and unnecessary during pres ent times. "University women," they say, "shpuld be fully mature enough to See PETITIONS, page U Frats Revise Rushing Dates Announcing a change in dates for fraternity rushing of freshmen and transfer civilian students and mem bers of the V-12 unit who entered the University last November, Dick Pol lock, president of the Interfraternity Council reported the executive com mittee's decision to suspend rushing tonight, and extend the hours for rushing tomorrow from two to five o'clock, and from 7:30 to ten o'clock. Formal rushing, which began Thursday night, was suspended for to night because of conflicting athletic and social events which had previous ly been planned. All rushing will be ended Sunday night with a silence being observed all day Monday. Sun day afternoon is the first time a man may be asked to join a fraternity. Violations The executive committee also re ported on violations of the present In terfraternity agreement. In. the first case several fraternity members were seen eating frequently with a civilian See FRATS, page U Alumnus Worries Over Outcome of Duke Tilts "- "I heard Duke beat us twice this past season. I hope that is just rumor or Blue Devil propaganda." These sentences were in a V-Mail letter received at the alumni office this week from Lt. Robert J. Powell, Jr., of Burlington, who is with a Marine Raider Regiment "Somewhere in the Pacific." The letter was dated Jan. 6 "Yes,'' replied the Alumni Office in its letter to Powell, who was a student at the University in 1942-43, "the ru mor you-heard is correct. Duke 1eat us twice." Powell says that he has run into other Carolina men with the Marines in the Pacific. Evidently his mail has not been getting through with regu larity. But at any rate he should have confirmation now of the rumors in the Pacific about the outcome of ,last fall's Duke-Carolina games.

While Foss and Brinkley debating the Eaton navy team are the dark horses of the tournament and are strong contenders for the finals'. The issue for debate is : Resolved "That the United States should coop erate in establishing and maintaining an International Police Force upon the defeat of the Axis." The affirmative teams have been championing the need for some organ ization in the Post-War world to assure against the repetition of the situation which developed after the last war and the need of some protection for the eco nomic and social interest of the small powers, and the fact that force is the only way to combat force, as the basis for their arguments. The negative teams, on the other hand, have contested that the difficulty of organizing such a police force with all its integral technicalities would be a practical impossibility, and that out standing nations will not sacrifice their See DEBATES, page U Student Council Reports A boy in Physics lab failed to get his instructor's okay on his laboratory data before leaving the lab. Since the data had to have the instructor's okay on it before he could turn it in, he wrote the "okay" on the paper himself and signed the instructor's initials. In the investigation that fol lowed, it was found that he also had cheated on his physics final examination. Action: Suspended indefinitely from school and flunked on his course in physics. . Last year a boy was involved as a suspect in a cheating violation on his last final examination of a certain quarter. When the case was tried, he was not available since he did not return to school the following quarter. At that time the Student Council ruled that he should be required to stand trial before being readmitted to school. Upon receiving a medical discharge from the Armed forces, he wished to resume his studies but found that he was unable to register. He requested the Council to hold his trial. The Council reviewed the evidence from its records and called the boy before them for trial. He was found guilty of cheating on a final exam he had taken one year before.
