Vacation Warning v AS 1 f j, if) F r MM V Lpgisla New Bill Proposed By Group Plan To Analyze Campus Systems In its first meeting since the No vember SO elections, the Student Legislature climbed into the spotlight Thursday night when the Ways and Means Committee brought forth a bill proposing a select committee to in vestigate the current overlapping of authorities in campus government. Under the gavel of its newly -elect ed Speaker, Doug Hunt, the Legisla ture accepted the committee's report which would set up a nine-man com mittee, composed of a representative campus group, both in and out of the Legislature to hold hearings and make recommendations concerning a possible reorganization and simplifi cation of student government. An attempt to suspend the rules, which would have allowed the bill to be discussed and voted upon Thurs day evening was defeated. The bill will come before the group next Thursday night when it meets in Phi Hall. Speaker Hunt also announced the appointment of Bob Lipton, Law School representative, to the chair manship of a special Archives Com mittee which will attempt to codify all previous work of the Legislature, A. B. Smith was elected head of the Rules Committee. Also on the docket for next week is a bill for the revitalizing of class organizations.

In a. short informal meeting before the Legislature officially convened, outgoing Speaker Harvey O. White -formally turned' over the duties of Speaker to the newly-elected v man. White, in a short speech, thanked the members of the Legislature for their cooperation and consideration, and stated that he had enjoyed their friendship greatly during his term of office.

C. 6 December 1944 My dear Wickenberg, In reply to your question about censorship of The Tar Heel by your military superiors, I must first say that I am slight ly amazed, as I am sure you were, that such a question could be raised. The Tar 4 Heel is a student publication and as such belongs to the whole campus. I strongly believe in freedom of the press as a basic American tenet, and feel that the only stu dent newspaper should express all facts of campus opinion. This, I believe, The Tar Heel has done in the past and will continue to do in the future. I am pleased that student members of the Navy and Ma rine Unit here are taking an active interest in the publication of your paper, and I am particularly gratified to have a service man elected Editor. I can assure you that neither I, nor any members of my staff, have any desire to read the copy of any of your writers, civilian or service, prior to publication, or to interfere in any way. The sole exception to this is that any item which, in the opinion of the Editor, might violate military security should be submitted for approval prior to . publication. This is a rule to which every Editor in the coun try willingly adheres. Regarding criticism of the administration of the Navy and . Marine Unit here, I welcome it. I expect, however, that any writer who is also an officer candidate will be governed by the rules of good taste and be certain of his facts. I am sure that your own good judgment can be trusted to see that this condition obtains. Personally, I am enthusiastic about The Tar Heel and read it regularly and thoroughly... I feel that it is a strong force for campus unity and loyalty. And I have consistently recom mended to newcomers to the University that a subscription to The Tar Heel affords the quickest and easiest way to get the feel of the various campus activities. Sincerely yours, E. E. HAZLETT, JR., Captain, USN, (Ret.), Commanding, Navy V-12 Unit.

Three new plays written this year by students in the University play- writing course, have been selected for presentation. First on the program is "Distances to Go," by Anne Oster- hout, of Beaufort, S." C.

Mary Ball Pleads For International Cooperation Banquet Held Before Speech Delivering an earnest Pearl Harbor Day plea for international cooperation after the war, Republican Senator Joseph H. Ball, second International Relations club speaker of the semester, launched out Thursday night against "narrow, nationalistic thinking." The Senator's tone was optimistic on the chances of an effective peace, re marking that "Our chances of winning the peace now are belter than at any time since November 11, 1918," thanks to the internationalistic attitude dis played by the voters in the November 7, elections. Anticipating the passage of the Dumbarton Oaks proposals, in the Senate, the speaker outlined the pro visions, which will set up an interna- .tional league, reinforced by an inter- Tom Colones is directing. Dick Kiser is designing the stage setting. Mary Brooks Popkins, of Leesburg, Virginia, and a major in the Depart ment bf Journalism, has based a comedy-mystery, "Poor Mr. Burton," on a newspaper story.

Others in the cast are Ruby Dougan as Mrs. Pennington, Randall Brooks as Dr. Applefront, Hazel Harris as the housekeeper, and Dan Anderson and Lawrence Berry as policemen.

W ''' - V r i ' - - BALL un Off Election Places Crisp, Tripp In Office By Stanley Colbert Climaxing one of the hottest political campaigns to hit the campus in re cent years, Bill Crisp and Jenks Tripp were elected by a large majority to the two top seats in student government. It was Crisp all the way, with the final count reading Crisp, 832; Davis; 631. Crisp carried the male civilians by a majority of 61 votes. At Kenan however, where Crisp was almost as sured of a safe majority, Dal Davis tied the vote. Both amassed 263 votes. It was Swain Hall that told the story, though, with Crisp getting 385 votes to Davis' 258. The final vote: Crisp, 832; Davis, 631. Just as the Kenan vote was a dis appointment to Crisp's fervent cam' paigning, it was a boon to Jenks Tripp. Tne voting at Kenan , gave Tripp the sizeable margin he needed to defeat Boots Walker by 134 votes. At the Y, Tripp led Walker by 17 votes, with the vtoing tabulated at 139 for Tripp, 122 for Walker. At Swain Hall, Walker gained six votes, still 11 behind , Tripp. The vote was 322 for Walker at Swain, 316 for Tripp. Kenan, however, was Walker's Waterloo. Tripp accumulated 328 votes at Kenan, while Walker lagged behind with 196. The final tabulation Tripp, 789; Walker 655. Crisp, running independently for vice-president has a sizeable back ground. He is president of the De- - bate Council; president of the Dialec tic Senate, and a faculty selection for "Who's Who in American Univer sities and Colleges." A discharged veteran, Tripp is president of the Carolina Veteran group, and president of Steele dormi tory. He is a member of Delta Sigma Pi commerce fraternity, and a mem ber of the Student Council.

"The World War I cause was be trayed because so many millions were so busy thinking about their personal concerns, they never lifted an eye to see the problem of the future." Ball brought forth heavy applause from the Navy faction of his audience when, explaining his opposition to compulsory post war military training, he quipped, "Better to use that money to raise the pay of the Navy men." Fear of a Russia dominated world is groundless, the speaker said and added that isolationists are using the "Red Scare" in their propoganda. "Nine tenths of the arguments of the oppo sition are based on fear," he said. Ball was introduced by Dean R. B. House. New Head - - - ss-'i ' I CRISP 24 Below Club Opens Tonight In Grill Room The grand opening of the 24 Below Club for the present term will be held in the basement of Graham Memorial tonight with the doors opening at nine o'clock and closing at twelve. Music will be furnished by Scott Gardner and his orchestra. The Club was first begun during the past winter session by the YWCA. The program of the Club was later broad ened to include the YM because of the interest of that group and the need for someone to do the heavier work necessary for the running of the Club. Because of the Club's outstanding success, it was decided to reopen it this term. Directing the work of the Club are Boo Leigh and Pat Hughes, co chairmen of the YW committee, and Merrill Kelly, chairman of the YM committee. Hostesses for the Club will be chosen from the Boy-Girl Re lations Committee of the YW. The outstanding features of Xhe night spot will be the checkered table cloths, the light by candles inserted in the necks of beer bottles, and the general cabaret atmosphere, which be came something of a tradition during the first short run of the Club. Again this time the tables will be arranged around the sides of the room to clear the floor for dancing. Available to the hungry and thirsty customers will be Coca-Colas, Nabs, potato chips, and sandwiches. These will be served over the counter by the hostesses. A different note in the set-up of the club for this term will be a 25 cents cover-charge per couple or stag. This was necessitated by the charge for the use of the Graham Memorial grill.
