I January 26-27 m Memorial Mail at 8:30 p.m., will fulfill all expectations for another gay and exciting Gilbert and Sullivan Production. Despite the war time shortages of materials, costumes and scenery for the show, it will be as colorful as ever. Scenery construction, under the su pervision of Bob Burroughs and Betty Taylor, has gone on despite the handi caps of material and labor shortages. Two highly stylized settings, de signed by Foster Fitz-Simons, convey the spirit of the colorful 18th cen tury Italian period. t - ' The first act is set in a mythical Venetian piazza done in a variety of rich and vibrant colors. Adding in terest to the design is the circular step unit surmounted by a twelve-foot fluted column. The second and much more formal ized setting is the interior of the Pal ace of Barataria which shows an in teresting contrast with a color scheme of soft blue and white. , The costume department, under the direction of Irene Smart, is also feel ing the pinch of wartime restrictions and is 'relying on the large stock of costumes on hand from previous pro ductionsJfor a great part of its ma- Many beautiful colors are attained by dying unbleached muslin and or gandy, of which the girls costumes for the show are made.

WyUXtSZ . y.-y.::..-:-A-.y.-.y..y.:- K fcj,wAv.waui Group Pacifist On Conscription By Marianne Brown Rabbi Stephen Wise will be the first speaker on a planned series of pro grams on the topic "Religion in the World," the Council for Religion in Life ,CRIL), announced. Scheduled to speak in Hill Hall, February 4, at 8 p. m., Rabbi Wise brings with him an enviable record of achievements. ...... Wise is chairman of the American Zionist Emergency Council, founder and trustee of Near East Relief; founder of the Eastern Council of Liberal Rabbis; trustee of the Na tional Child Labor Committee; and founder and president of the Jewish Institute of Religion. The CRIL, a campus organization composed of representatives from every Carolina organization, is spon soring this speaker series in an at tempt to orientate the students with the topic, "Religion in the World." The CRIL, speaking as individuals, rather than as representatives of the member groups concerned, took a paci fist stand on compulsory peacetime conscription. This is the reaction that might well have been expected from a body of this type; probably the old Interf aith Counccil would have leaned even more that way than the CRIL. The second night of discussion al most passed without a definite stand. Then, in a close vote, it was agreed, ROMANTIC INTERLUDE Between one of the dashing Venetian gondoliers and a gay peasant girl of old Venice, in the Carolina Play makers' production of Gilbert and Sullivan's "The Gondoliers," is par trayed by Dick Kiser of Greensboro and pretty Betty Butler of Savan nah, Ga. ing with his character.

Mural Debates Set To Start First Round With the deadline for entries set at midnight tonight the third Carolina intramural debate tourney will get underway Monday with its first round of tournament play, Rene Bernard, chairman of the Debate Council, an nounced. As the Tar Heel went to. press there had been four entries in the tourna ment with six or seven more antici pated before Sunday. The teams, comprised of from two to four per sons, may place more than twenty speakers in the four rounds of de bating schedule. The council for Religion in Life has taken an active interest in the debate topic Resolved: That the .United States should adopt a post-war pro gram of military training for all able bodied men, such training to begin be tween the ages of 18 and 21. Mary Lib Barwick, Secretary of the CRIL, has compiled a complete bibliography of the material which may be studied by the debaters for reference. The CPU, likewise showing interest, sponsored Friday evening of last week an open forum on the peace-time conscription as a permanent policy. Faculty professors participated in the discussion. According to the rules released by See DEBATE, page U. by a group that barely amounted to a quorum, that the CRIL as a whole op posed peacetime military conscription. In the words of Doug Hunt, who phrased the motion, the CRIL should "go on record as being diametrically opposed to permanent peacetime con scription." The CRIL was wholly op posed to legislation establishing per manent conscription at this time, but to this motion the response was al most evenly divided. Hunt, before introducing the mo tion, said "We must make this one 1 world politically or we can start pre paring for another war by getting armies and supplies now." But there were many differences of opinion, ve hemently voice. Rene Bernard blunt ly stated that "We will always have wars history proves that." It will not be a problem of disarmament af ter the war but rather of maintaining a large standing army and a battery of statesmen. And salaries to keep up such an army will be an important problem. Or we will have to maintain this army by compulsory military ser- vice. And compulsion seems more likely than high salaries. First organized on the campus as the Interfaith Council, with the pur pose of promoting betteffeelings be tween all the religious faiths on the campus, the CRIL blossomed forth into the widely represented organiza tion that it now is. All the religious leaders, many faculty members and campus representatives now form the bulk of the CRIL. The executive secretary is Mr. Wil liam Hardman Poteat, assistant sec retary of the YMCA. UNC To Enter Nationwide Bond Contest Opening Days Of Drive Are Successful Sales for the first half -week in the War Coordination Board-sponsored "Miss Victory" contest totaled $3, 372.20, with Louise Hull, sponsored by Alderman, leading the race with 10,695 votes. Running second is the Kappa Alpha sponsoree, , Mary Hill Gaston, with 10,080 votes. ' Third and fourth places are held by Nancy Kennickell, CICA, with 5,074 votes, and Marky Parsons, Pi Kappa Alpha, with 5,012. Kitty Kelly, chairman of the War Coordination Board, sponsoring the drive to sell $25,000 in war bonds be fore February 14, expressed herself as gratified over sales the first four days of the drive. Sales for the first week in last year's campaign totaled $1,300.75. Adding mystery and intrigue to the contest was the announcement Wednesday by the Law Association of its candidate, "Miss X," whose identity will not be made known until after results of the contest are pub lished. However, full length pictures of the fair lady with her face blacked out have been posted in the "Y." The "Miss Victory" bond drive at Carolina has taken on a national scope with the announcement that campus war bond chairmen may win national recognition for their college on a network radio show dedicated to the college and picked up on the cam pus. The college in the United States which reports by April 1 the best all round war bond program, not just top sales, will be so rewarded. The small college has as good a chance to win as the large one in this contest. The winner will be selected on the basis of college participation, group initiative and ingenuity, and how the college war bond program is tied up with the educational pro gram. Every campus war bond chairman who submits a report may submit at the same time a list of those indivi duals who have worked hard on the campus bond program and are deserv ing of a special Treasury citation for their work. Entries from the 48 states will be judged by a committee of outstand ing citizens and the winning college will be announced and honored about the end of April. Kitty Kelly has stat ed she will enter a report on Caro lina's "Miss Victory" drive in this national contest. She also announced that anyone See BEAUTY QUEEN, page J. wkmm mm Behind It All The student body should be con cerned with a recent practice of the student council (or rather should we say a rumored practice of the stu dent governing organization) which conducts the Honor Council. It is not anything to cause the world to come to an end, but it is open for wide ques tioning. . , In the first place, a review of stu dent council procedure on the matter of trying cases should be established. Initially the council is closed. Mem bers of the council are the only ones who are supposed to be admitted to the session. Whether or not this is a written rule we do not knowbut one thing is certain the common practice of the council has been to admit no persons except elected members to its trials. - This situation now exists in the council: Two students who were for merly on the council are sitting in on the trials. According to reports their participation in- the discussions (if they can be called such) is consider able. This shouldn't be. Why should any particular student other than an Honor Council member be allowed to take part in the trial? If these par ticular students are allowed to sit in on the sessions, why shouldn't all the students be allowed to find out what goes on in the council? The Tar Heel is not trying to criti cize Charlie Frank Benbow, Bill Crisp or any of the members of the present council. In reality these student lead ers might have the idea that such a procedure is all well and good. It is possible that they are of the opinion that these former members will be a great asset to the council. Thi3 may be true, but if the students who are now serving on the council and who were placed there by student elections are not capable enough for the job, the President of the Student Body should let someone know about it These old members can weild a mighty hand of influence in council sessions. The newly elected members will of course take a back seat if they think that the more experienced old members are given the upper hand. No members other than HONOR COUNCIL members elected by the student body should be in on these meetings, and if the council has changed the rules, the Student Body should be informed of the matter. This is no light matter. The deci sions of the Honor Council vitally af fect every student at this University. If we come to the time when elected officers are not capable enough to make such decisions, the administra tion can take over 'lock, stock and barrel. and is colorfully oveiu ,-
