Explaining the results of talks with Hitler on February 18, the chancellor stated, "The question of our existence is involved and - m .A. m we are banded together seeking a solution of this special task." Austrians are wondering whether their country would slowly become a part of the Ger man third reich, whether it would remain the Catholic stronghold of Europe, or wheth er it would receive the status of an independent Nazi state. "The constitution recognized no parties and no party state," he explained. "It is based on the profession and guild principle of the people. Therefore there are no coalitions either . in political life or in the administration." At the berchtesgaden confer ence, Schuschnigg agreed to place five pro-Nazis on the Aus trian' cabinet, gave amnesty 16 political prisoners, and invited Nazis for the first time to join Austria's only political party, the Fatherland front.

Author Howard has tried to present the tragedies and misfortunes of the Carolina tobacco country, or any sharecropping region, from an unbiased position. Violence However, the prejudices of its audience have in some cases made it more violent than it really is. When Howard's origi nal play, "New Nigger," played before a Negro school, there was almost a riot. For the audience, not realizing Howard's aims, re sented frequent use of "nigger" as well as what they considered an unfavorable picture of their brethren.

Of Campus Studio Watch United States According To Informal Survey, Union Unable To Find Simi lar Organization So far as we can determine, the Carolina Political union is unique in the United States," Chairman Alex Heard said yes terday in regard to the union's recent survey of organizations on other campuses. "As a result of our informal survey," Heard said, we were unable to find any organization similar to the CPU. The ma jority of political unions are either conducted on the lecture bureau principle, which is simi lar to the way in which our stu dent entertainment program is handled, or are sponsored di rectly by the universities."

Only one more obstacle re mains - before tne proposed "fifth publication" becomes a reality a decision by the Pub lications Union board on the publications fee. The student council yesterday revealed that the PU board's authority to establish the studio would be questioned unless the fee was kept at $6.00, the pres ent amount. The board is expected to re veal its decision on the fee at a joint meeting. with the student council next Tuesday night If the fee is set at above $6.00, the question will be brought up whether or not the action is a formal increase or merely a re sumption of part of the 90-cent reduction of the fee made at the beginning of the year The council's action . thus leaves the fate of the project temporarily in the hands of the PU board. Milton Hogan, University student whose long effort in favor of the studio was tested yesterday, last night expressed satisfaction at the outcome.
