U. board vs Student Council squab ble is the best opportunity for arguing "constitu tional law" first hand that the students around here have had in many a day. Here is the issue, as cleanly as you can state it: "Is the establishment of a fifth publication, radio station or what-not, the occasion for new expen ditures not intended to be taken from the old four-publications-fee or any surplus which might have acrued therefrom?" The P. U. board, citing its constitution, says it has the right to establish a new publication and to recall a part of its refund of the existing fee, if that he necessarv to maintain the station. Therefore there is no real occasion for a genera camnus vote at all . . . The "feeler" vote now be- s, ing called need not obligate the board in any way the board is merely using the vote to determine student sentiment and it says that at least 800 Twrsons shall express themselves before the "feeler" vote will be taken seriously at all. The Student Council, on the other hand, does have this much of a case, though it has been murkily presented so far:' The establishment, and consequently, inevitably, the maintainance (the prospect for which enters directly into any con sideration of "establishment"), of the radio stu dio will necessitate the spending of money now being collected (and held in surplus) for a four publications area. Therefore, should the P. U. board recall any of the existing fee (being cur rently refunded in part) for use in this new, fifth publication area, it will be virtually increasing the total Publications fee and allowing the present re fund to remain the same. Therefore, this virtual increase in the Publications fee necessitates a stu dent vote. The Council must determine what con stitutes a "student vote." For fee matters, the Council has been ruling, since last year, that such a vote must have a majority of the constituency participating in order for its results to be valid. The lawyers for the Council could answer the charges that this position would mean that the Council could participate in the fiscal functions of not only the P. U. board, but the Athletic Council, and all other student organizations as well the lawyers for the council could answer this charge by pointing out that the P. U. board is supreme in regulating all expenditures for the area covered by the present fee i. e., the four publications area. And, other students of the situation would add, the Student Council is "the supreme law of the Campus" and can do just about what it pleases. Another question, wide-as-it-can-be, will be raised when it comes to the matter of the radio station's supporting itself off commercial broadcasts, much as the Tar Heel does off its commercial advertising. The University Administration has, it will be remem bered, put its foot down on football games being broadcast under commercial sponsorship. If the Ath letic Association is the student body coincident with . the Publications Union, and the new radio station wants to broadcast athletic events under commercial advertising, just as the Tar Heel reports the games, where is the authority to stop the broadcasting. The first defense for the Administration, that we can think of, is that the athletic events are under con ference regulations, the Tar Heel is not. We'd still like to see this answered thoroughly, from this point of view of constitutional authority. 1 - v All right, so much for a statement of the issue and some of the implications involved. We'd hold that the Student Council, is the supreme law of the campus and that, with some headwork, it can support its case for regulating an election on the radio station matter. ethical principles or being a Carolina gentleman. . . . Well, it's an old gag, Bobby, but the aroma's the same. SAM GREEN. Abo,ut Tom Girdler: "He re turned to Raleigh immediately after his speech, from whence he hoped to begin his return flight before morning." That is the last paragraph of the Tar Heel report of the Girdler speech. It obviously 'implies that there was to be a wait of some length between the arrival in Raleigh and the flight to Cleve land. I'm wondering if Mr. Girdler couldn't have spared fifteen or thirty minutes for a question period following his speech. I'm also wondering about the value of a speaker who either can't or won't sub mit his views for debate. If we w7ere to have Mr. Gird ler here, the sole possible value of the whole affair was to be looked for m the anticipated 1 Radio Forum Rooms Added In Spencer Hall (Continued from first page) it was not until this fall that j 1 1 11 tne mucn-neeaea snace was granted. The laundry, which is com pleted, has four large 'tubs and will have ironing boards and irons. Formerly the women have been ironing in their rooms. The trunk room is not yet fin ished, but it is expected that the floor will be put down this year. Furniture and curtains have already been placed in the rec reation room, which will be used for informal entertaining and lounging. The social committee of the YWCA secured the furnishings. Former Student Reported Missing (Continued from first page) N. C, reported that they had had recognized a young man re sembling Gray on the streets of that town Tuesday afternoon. They described the young man as selling magazines along with three other men, and stated that he appeared to be in a dazed condition.- . Gray, 24 years old, is the son of Mayor and Mrs. J. B. Gray, of Murphy. He received his B.S. degree here in medicine and last summer entered the Univer sity of Maryland. question period. What Mr. Gird ler said in his talk had already appeared in Fortune magazine which, being in the library, is available to all students. I have recently been reading in the new Magazine about "The Other Side of the Swastika." I have also been reading about the bombings of Barcelona and Valencia. The connection is ap pallingly obvious. There is no attempt to conceal the fact that it is the airmen of Hitler and Mussolini who are piling the dead high in the streets of Spain. What Vittorio Mussolini regards as the "thrilling" game of swooping down on women and children is also a popular Japanese sport in China. But perhaps Mr. Korf f wasn't think ing of this when he wrote m the current issue of the Carolina Magazine that the process of to talitarianism under Hitler was a "painful" but "heroic and re markable one." Helena, Montana recently suf fered its 2,441 earthquake since the Fall of 1935. On The Air i O By Carroll McGaughey I have been accused of being emotional and a victim of hys teria. There is no longer possi ble any superficial emotion about the dead in China and Spain. The number of them goes so high as to constitute the coldest group of facts, cold as death. . . . It is so easy for sheltered and naive intellectuals to quote Nietzsche in refutation of argu ments proven elsewhere by bul lets and bombs. Note for Bob Perkins: It had to come some time, that letter of yours. I knew somebody arund here was taking a corre spondence course in Hearst newspaper technique. It seems anyone with a social conscience (and a. journalistic conscience) is automatically a communist. Will Meet Tonight (Continued from first page) Town Hall topic "What Does Democracy Mean?" Four different views on de mocracy will be given on the Town Meeting program by Max Lerner, editor of "The Nation"; Clarence L. Hathaway, editor of "The Daily Worker"; Dr. Ruth Alexander, economist and writ er; and by Isaac Don Levine, auothor and columnist. :y Hogan To Petition Council (Continued from Page One) tory of the University has more than a majority of the student body voted. Latest attempt to muster a majority vote was last spring's election on the student legislature, when only 1,060 stu dents voted. "It will be recalled that that election was continued over a two-day period," he stated. "The plan failed not because a major ity of students did not vote in favor of it, but because the total number of votes cast was not enough. If 174 more votes had been cast, even against it, it would iave succeeded." When he appears before the council at its next meeting, Ho gan will also ask that the voting be extended over a three-day period. x wan i, iu iiicuve it wcai, iv, said, "that no positions on the studio staff have been settled. A small group of students will not control the station, but 100 or more will be given permanent positions.

Boys, Are We Slice? Someone please tell me if "pinhanging" at Caro lina means a boy and a girl are going to be mar ried, or if they are just going steady. Last Sunday the Chicago "Tribune reported that on the U. of Illinois campus "hanging a pin on a skirt" doesn't imply engagement by a lon shot. We should study Illinois. It's in Urbana, a place small like Chapel Hill. There are three boys to every girl there, at least the same idea as our 9-to-1 ratio here. Here's what the "Trib" found: Ninety-nine per cent of the sorority girls date; over 60 per cent of the "independents" date . . . There are so many boys, the clothes coeds wear don't affect their popularity . . . One out of every W Til 1 I tnree m men marries an 111 coea . . . riity per cent of all coeds either marry or fall permanently in love while in schooL A popular coed dates four times a week, not counting two "coke" dates each day ...

Most of the undergrads at Illinois agree that they're there "to have some fun!" Whew! Several People Got Shocked Of the 1,500-odd people who saw "Boy Meets Girl," Howard Bailey, its director, wonders how many were scandalized. Each performance night from last Wednesday till Monday there were those in the Playmaker audience who held their breath as Bob Finch slung "typical" Hollywood epithets at Happy, the sad illegitimate infant round whom the three acts spun. Public reaction was generally pretty good, how ever. Several N. C. cities have asked for the play, but the Playmakers are too busy to accept. ing the $35 royalty fee for the first night, and $25 for nights thereafter, they proceeded to pack the house over and over . ; . The set was so big and the stage so tiny, actors almost fell out the back door as they walked of f . . . Director Bailey hit on the idea of circulating handbills about Happy to the audience when he was unable to ef fect a movie trailer scene like the N. Y. C. show had . . . It still should be a long time, though, before Bob Finch gets back to liking babies and calling them nice names. POP QUIZ By Bob Perkins If Jack starts from a given point and walks steadily at the rate of 3 miles per hour, and George starts from - the same point two hours afterward and walks in the same direction at the rate of 6 miles per hour, in what elapsed time, after. Jack starts, does George overtake him? Answer to yesterday's quiz: Mr. Brown's horse could not have won, because the horse that won was black. Mr. Baxter's horse did not win. Therefore, Mr. Louis' horse must have won. Tally-ho could not have won, and so could not have 'been Mr. Louis' horse, because he broke his ankle at the start; and Sunny Boy could not have been Mr. Louis' horse because he had previously run. Therefore, Jessica must have been Mr. Louis' horse, the winner.

Pro Or Con -There's been a question raised as to whether or not University athletic regulations will apply to radio talent. I 'understand an "interested alum nus" wants to get Buck Benny enrolled in school. With a studio set up we won't have to worry about Dr. Graham being out of town. We can keep in touch with him by radio. "Calling Dr. Graham. Calling Dr. Graham. Come home. Come home. The faculty is meeting again. That's all. That's enough." But, of course, this all depends on finding the unwritten constitution. If something doesn't hap pen pretty quick, they'll appoint a committee.
