Bill Crisp Searches For CPUiSpealers ? Word received here this week indi cates that the Carolina Political Union, adjourned for the summer, is making extensive preparations for pre senting the campus with a variety of prominent speakers during 1945-46. Bill Crisp, chairman of the Union, is now on a trip the purpose of which is to secure commitments from men and women of national prominence to come to Carolina this fall and next winter. Crisp is in Washington and New York. He will journey to At lanta and New Orleans later in the summer. Crisp has already secured appoint ments in Washington and New York with several potential speakers, in cluding Clare Booth Luce, Henry Wal lacei Harold Ickes, Harry Byrd, Eric Johhson,: Sidney Hillmair and Phillip Murray of the CIO. ' "The Carolina Political Union is cele brating this year its tenth anniver sary. The Union was inaugurated in the winter of 1936: During the past ten years the Union has had the hon or of presenting some of the most fam ous public figures in the nation to Chapel Hill audiences. Its most ap plauded success was its presentation of the late Franklin D. Roosevelt in an address from Kenan stadium four years ago. It ' presented President Truman, then Senator Truman, in 1941.- .: : f, .The Union is composed of twenty five University students and one fac ulty member. 'When it reconvenes in September; there will be eleven mem berships open. This is the highest number of vacancies in its history. The Union lost nine members in 1945's graduating class. , Membership is accessible only to those who show adequate enlighten ment on and interest in subjects of local, state, national and international politics. Rigid examination, both by a membership committee and the Union itself, must be passed before students are admitted. Applications are avail able at all times at the." Y" office. ' According "to chairman Crisp, the Union's regular Sunday night discus sion meetings will resume around the middle of September. English Teachers Close Session This Wednesday Final - week of the English Insti tute, which has been in session here since" the beginning of the summer, will feature a variety of programs con cerning proposed changes in subject matter and preparation of prospec tive teachers of English. Heads and representatives of college English departments will meet with the Institute Tuesday, July 24, to, con sider changes in certification require ments. Tuesday's conference will also for mulate recommendations to be pre sented to the North Carolina College Conference this fall. Dr.- George R. Coffman, head of the University Eng lish department, will preside. Continuing the session, an interim report on teaching load will be consid ered by the English teachers' central committee Wednesday, July 25. Action on this report will be followed ,by a sustained effort on the part of .the English teachers' organization to make better teaching possible through time budgeting. Presiding .at the 'Wednes day meeting will be ' Miss " Frances Haywood, Mount Gilead, chairman of the central' committee. , . . , , . ' See page three for story of the victory . of . Carolina's swimming team at Tarboro last weekend -s rresiaent of the IFC, Walt Brcnk- ley,, pointed out that the committee's suggestions were just" that, and no changes have been made as yet. How ever, when the rules do get their new face they will be effective immediately. The council will convene in the Ro land. Parker lounge of Graham Me morial Thursday night at 7 o'clock to hear the opinion of various represen tative fraternities. The members of the IFC are selected-from each active fraternity on the campus, and the opin ion of the respective fraternities will be voiced by these representations. One of the highlights of the new rushing program under consideration is the plan of a board of control or judicial body to expedite regulation and prosecution of rules constituted by the council. In the suggestions, there are stipu lations which in effect break silence. Fraternity members will be able to be host to new men in their houses, but no new man will be able to partake of alcoholic beverages on fraternity prop erty or with fraternity men. No new men will be allowed to reside in fra ternity houses, but they will be able to eat in fraternity house dining halls. The last stipulation will probably be contested by the greater per cent of the fraternities which do not have their dining halls in operation. Those who lia ve their halls in operation feel the ' necessity, of having as many men eat in their houses as possible in order to meet expenses. It. will be a case' of the fraternities operating kitchens against the ones which do not operate dining facilities. Breaking a long time tradition, the IFC suggestions which resulted from committee investigation call for coeds arid gifls'assisting in rushing on Sat urday night of a three day rush pe riod1 which begins on Friday and ex tends through Sunday. Two nights, Friday arid Saturday, rushees may. be served refreshments. . The above mentioned suggestions, Brinkley pointed out, may or may. not pass the final vote of the council.. "They are suggestions and any prac tice of the above before final passage and approval of the council will be in violation of the present IFC regula tions," Brinkley stated. , No Change Or In Coed Halls A meeting of the Woman's Honor Council was held . Tuesday afternoon at five o'clock to discuss and vote on W the summer session. It Luc; x was decided at the meeting to leave the rules for women students as they have been for the past summer ses sions. " All women students will be in their respective dormitories at 11:00 on week' nights and, 12:00 on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights. There will be no late permission given on week-ends and one hour late permis sion, will be granted for student acti vities during the week. However, per mission must be' requested of the house president at least one hour be fore the closing time of the dormitory. Late permission will be given to wo men students as a whole, on special occasions. . , Yack Staff To Meet In Graham Memorial , . Yack Editor Fred Flagler . is asking that all students interested in working on next year's Yackety Yack meet in the Roland Parker , Lounge, in Graham Memorial Tues day afternoon at 4:30 o'clock. . " If you've' had any experience in - lay-out, advertising, : photography or writing please attend this meet- f ing in order that the staff positions may be filled and work on the : Yack may get underway at once; Summer Rules CANDIDATE Bob Fahey Banks, Mebane Les.

' "We are glad to see the janitors organize and bring their grievances to us," he said, "and we encourage them to do so. We fought .for them at the last legislature meeting. As a result, as the Tar Heel pointed out, the old war. bonus was consolidated with the old base rate of 37 cents an hour, to raise the janijtors'- wages to 45 cents an hour."- . .. .. , . One of the janitors, disturbed over the heading, called on the Adminis tration to. say, ' "We aren't fighting anybody. We don't want any fight. We 'came to you to talk, about- a raise." Despite the unity ; of purpose, the janitors want a 50-cent mini mum. . The personnel policy of the Con solidated University , of North Caro lina is stated on a poster now on display in many places on the cam pus: All staff employees are encour aged to confer with administrative officers of their institution about sug gestions, criticisms, and grievances that might lead to happier, healthier, or more profitable working and liv ing conditions. . - The janitors held a meeting Mon day night in Carrboro to discuss new developments in their situation. J. A. Williams, speaking for the Administration,, said, "The law pro vides that an . emergency salary will be paid if there is a sufficient surplus in the State General Fund. The Uni versity .Administration has been waiting, for the State Budget Bureau in Raleigh to release details as to how this plan will be carried out." Mr. Williams stated that nothing defi nite could be said until then. The release is expected late this week or next week. Since it is extremely ' likely that there will be a surplus in the Treas ury, all state employees earning less than $3600 (this includes the janitors and most of the faculty) can be fairly sure of receiving the new war bonus. However, the janitors are asking the University for a flat 50-cent minimum. If granted a 50-cent minimum now, the janitors would be receiving both a raise and a war bonus, if and when See UNIVERSITY, page 4. Library Microfilm Saves Day . Microfilm saved the day for Sgt. William Klenz, renowned cellist and former staff member of the Univer sity Music Department who is now stationed in Paris with the job of writing and performing on music programs broadcast to the soldiers of the American Army. ' . Last March, Sgt. , Klenz was asked to play one of his own compositions, but unfortunately, he had left all of his inanuscripts in the United States. ' Shortly thereafter, Mr. Jan P. Schinhan, of the Music Department, received a letter -from Mr. Klenz ur gently requesting that the manuscript of his composition "Te Deum," .which Mr. Klenz. had left in the care of Mr. Schinhan, be sent to him immediate ly.

As a last resort, he approached the Physics department and from there he was directed to the University Li brary. Library . Mr. G. F. Shepherd, head librarian, told Mr. Schinhan , of the Library's microfilm laboratory and agreed to film Mr. Klenz's composition.

Mr. Shepherd, in speaking of the library's microfilm laboratory, said that at present there are more calls for filming material than can be handled, but in the future, if and when the "laboratory is expanded, he hopes to be able to do work for other libraries. .

According to Roy Thompson, chair man of the Student Party, and Allan Pannill, chairman of the University Party, the two political parties have double-endorsed Bob Fahey for vice president of the Carolina Athletic As sociation. Last week the University Party had presented Bob Fahey to the student body as a, candidate for the presidency of, the CAA, but a de cision of the student legislature placed Del Leatherman, formerly vice-president of the CAA, into. the presidency, j Claims Presidency Leatherman claimed the presidency when the former president, Bill Ward, was transferred from the V-12 Unit to the V-5 Pre-Flight School..

Di To Discuss President Order Of Succession President Truman's suggestion that the order of succession to the United States' Presidency be changed, will be thctopic of the evening as the Dialec tic Senate discusses this question of top current interest next Wednesday night in the Di Hall on the third floor of New East at 9 o'clock. This week the Di discussed rights and responsibilities of the editor of the Tar Heel, and a crowd of seventy students and faculty members attend ed the meeting which developed into a free-for-all debate between Editor Bob Morrison and Legislature Speaker Doug Hunt. The importance of deciding the sue- cessor to the Presidency in the event of Harry Truman's death cannot be overestimated. It is clearly illustrated by, the fact that when President Tru man and Secretary of State Jimmy Byrnes left the United States for Eu rope, and the Big Three Conference they left separately lest an accident take both the President and the next man in line. Discussion will be opened after Sen ator Banks Mebane moves the adoption of the bill on the docket for the eve ning with a short factual address. Students interested in taking part in; the discussion are rged to attend.
