An appreciative audience in Gerrard hall last night witness ed a debate team in action repre senting Bates College, a school that takes its debating as seri ously as most schools take foot ball. The interest of the entire stu dent body of this Maine college is centered on their team which visited Chapel Hill last night. The "Down Easters," Bond Perry and W. J. Norton, took the negative of the query, Re solved, that the several states should adopt legislation provid ing to the citizens at nominal costs general medical care and the services of hospitals and clinics. In supporting the nega tive of this question the Bates team took the side least pre ferred by Carolina. U. N. C. Team Don Seawell and Norman Kellar upheld the affirmative of the query for Carolina. Proof of the interest shown in debating at Bates is evi denced by the fact that teams from there have debated in England on three different trips, and made one round-the-world tour. On this, their first trip south of Washington, they have appeared at Rutgers, N. C. State, Wake Forest, Winthrop College, Rollins, Emory Univer sity, and the Universities of Florida, Miami, Tampa, Geor gia, and South Carolina. ' A.B. Freshmen to Meet Dean A. W.

MONEY BELL FIRM BEFORE ASSAULTS Senate Defeats New Legislation; House Approves Section. Raleigh, April 16.

First Trans-Pacific Air Service Flight Begins Alameda Airport, California, April. 16. (UP) The Pan American Clipper, America's bid for commercial air supre macy of the Pacific, roared from here today for Honolulu, 2,400 miles away.

Evidence supporting the meteoric theory of lake basin origins in portions of the coas tal plain areas of the Carolinas has been revealed by Dr. W. F. Prouty, head of the geology de partment of the University. Dr. Prouty, with two other geologists from the University, Dr. G. R. MacCarthy and Dr. H. W. Straley, engaged in a field investigation of the ellipti cal depressions in the earth in the area surrounding Florence, S. C, and in the White Lake section of this state. Findings Published A geological and geophysical reconnaissance of the lake basin portion of the costal plain con ducted by Dr. Prouty and others in 1933 resulted in much evidence to support the meteoric origin theory being produced. The findings of this expedition are published in the current issue of the "Journal of Geology." Ad ditional data was secured in the more recent investigation. Magnetometer investigations showed remarkably high mag netic areas in association with each of the elliptical depressions in the lake country of 'southeast ern North Carolina. Magnetic areas in the Myrtle Beach area of South Carolina proved to be well defined though smaller, Dr. Prouty has disclosed. Work done by the magneto meter seems to justify the con clusion that, in general, a mag netic high is found a short dis tance east of the southeast end of the elliptical bays and basins. This .makes it reasonable, and probable, Dr. Prouty believes, that the basins were formed by the fall of a meteroic body, and that this meteorite is buried at a great depth or has been de flected out of its original course. New Office Hours Official office hours for all ad ministrative offices are 8:30 o'clock until 4:30 o'clock. This schedule will continue through the summer until September 15. Class in Ethics " The Reverend F. J. Morrisey will hold his regular weekly class in moral and social ethics in 101 Murphey at 12 o'clock today.

NEW PHI SPEAKER MAKES PROPOSAL FOR ALTERATIONS Says Time Has Come for Radical Change, Complete Reorgani zation, Reconditioning. TO HAVE SLOGAN CONTEST A new era for the Phi assem bly appeared in the offing last night as Speaker Albert Ellis prepared to sweep tradition, aside in reorganizing and recon ditioning the ancient organiza tion. . "The time has come to make a radical change," Speaker Ellis stated in an interview immedi ately before the meeting in New East. Listed among the changes the new speaker proposes to make are the allowance of smok ing in the assembly hall, encour agement of co-ed membership, and immediate provision for so cial functions. Co-ed Speaker Once "Five years ago," continued Speaker Ellis, "a co-ed was elect ed to the speakership of this as sembly." To further the work of reor ganization and reconstruction, Ellis appointed a rehabilitation committee composed of Wiley Parker, chairman, Drew Mar tin, and Stuart Rabb. This com mittee will recommend further changes next week. In addition, the assembly voted to have a contest to select a new Phi slogan. All students may participate except officers of the assembly, who will act as judges. The prize for the best slogan will be a number of passes to the Carolina theatre. Definite rules will be announced by the committee tomorrow.

An enthusiastically applaud ing audience in Memorial hall last night heard the Russian Symphonic Choir respond almost magically to the direction of Basil Kibalchich in rendering their native songs. The choir was gaily attired, the men clad in red tunics trim med with gold braid, and shod with boots, while the women wore sky blue bodices, red skirts and ticorras. Three-Fold Program Numbers on the program were divided into three groups, religious, classic, and folk mu sic. The last group received the most enthusiastic applause, es pecially the director's arrange ment of the Czechoslovakian song, "A Lament," which-Misses Helen and Effie Stetzenko ren dered as a duet. Vechislav Mamanoff s rendi tion of the Aria from the opera "Halka," brought the powerful tenor forward for two bows. . The audience was also favorably, impressed by the number "Bandoura" in which the choir imitated the primitive guitar playing of the Russian peasants. The last number on the pro gram, "Back from a Spree," by Dargomijsky, led the audience to applaud for two encores. Di rector Kibalchich then retired from the stage with an expres sive shrug of finality.
