"ROOM SERVICE" '
CURTAIN GOES UP
TOMORROW NIGHT
Production Will
Be Presented In
- Memorial Hall
A brutal assault on. the funny
bone," Time magazine said of "Room
Service," when it played on Broad
way. Other critics called it "An almost
uninterrupted laugh; a glib uproari
ous and delightfully crackbrained
show guaranteed to throw any play
goer into the aisle with laughter a
'rich comic delight." The Playmakers
will present this play by Allan Boretz
and John Murray tomorrow and Sat
urday nights at Memorial hall.
The story, for which, Hollywood
paid a cool $250,000 to use for the
Mars: brothers, concerns a vital con
f lict between a financially embarassed
theatrical producer, and an apoplectic
liotel executive who insists that the

Odum Speaks To IRC
On Negro Question
"Elimination of racial differentials
toward the Negro would be the most
fruitful thing that could be done for
the South," said Dr. Howard Odum
at the Round Table discussion of the
International Relations club last
night. '
Dr. Odum pointed out that today
there is a small group of young Ne
groes in. the colleges of the South
who are for the elimination of the
racial differential, but this group
composes only about one-tenth of one
per cent of the total population of the
South.
Although Dr. Odum did not claim
that this elimination of racial differ
entials could be accomplished with
out social equality, he pointed out
that the Negro would probably pre
fer not to have social equality imme
diately, but would only ask educa
tional and social advantages similar
to those of the white race.
A discussion was held after , Dr.
Odum's talk in which the members
of the club took part. ,
Voting Machines To Be
voting machine corresponding to the
Appeal Made To
Commission For
Appropriation
Plan To Restore Normal Sal
aries And Construct New
Buildings On Campus
. A million dollar addition to the bud
get -for the Greater University-was
asked of the State Advisory Budget
commission Tuesday by Dr. Frank
Graham. This request sets the appro
priation at $3,847,978, but it was
pointed out that with the addition of
2,038 students to the schools the in
crease is actually $271,820 less than
ten years ago.
One of the main objects of this plan
is to restore salaries, which are com
paratively low, to normalcy. Incre
ments, promotions, replacements, and
new positions required to meet the
needs of the rapidly growing institu
tions will also be provided for in the
plan. All is needed to keep the schools
on the standard set by them pre
viously, and of the $497,640 allotted
for this purpose, $210,690 will go to
the University, $121,405 to the Wom
an's college, and $165,545 to State
college.
Use Of Money
Improvements at Chapel Hill will
include additions to the library, $282,
000; new instruction building and
equipment, $175,000; departmental
equipment, $115,000; hot and cold
water and heating range $90,000;
sanitary sewers, , $15,000 ; power
cable, $20,000; religious center build
ing, $175,000; instruction building for
dramatic arts and theater, $350,000;
storage warehouse and service ships,
$50,000; campus extension and im
provement, $35,000; additional build
ing and equipment, $85,000; additions
and betterments, $72,076; brick walks
(conjunction with WPA), $55,924.
The dramatic arts building, in addi
tion to being a valuable addition to
the University, will serve the whole
state through such projects as the
Roanoke Island Lost Colony.
Among permanent improvements
needed by the Woman's college and
emphasized especially by Dr. Graham
are a new laundry, repair shop and
storage building, departmental equip
ment, renovation of the heating sys

Freshmen To Vote At YMCA
From 9 Until 5
Will Elect Four
Phi Gam, Chi Phi,
President Joyner
Strickly Dormant"
The cross-currents of freshman
politics arrived at their approximate
denouement unraveling yesterday
on the eve of voting by the neophytes
today.
For two days the Daily Tar Heel
had told the story of upperclassmen
and fraternity participation in the
campaign at least as many frag
ments of evidence as could be gar
nered from the political winds.
Developments
Yesterday's developments followed
this course:
In answer to a statement in the
paper's expose of the existence of a
Chi Psi-Chi Phi-ZBT-non-fraternity
alliance, the boys from Chi Phi ex
postulated that they will be strictly
dormant today so far as politics goes.
Likewise the Phi Gams reiterated it's
absolutely "hands off" for them.
Just as vehement was the asser
tion of Student Body President Jim
Joyner that he was in no way es
pousing any candidate or in any other
way taking sides in the frosh con
flict. (It all started when a Daily
Tak Heel reporter saw Joyner and
Presidential Candidates Bill Shore
and Bill Ward in conference.) Presi
dent Joyner wishes to explain that
the meeting was a coincidence as he
was making his routine check-up as
an Graham dormitory advisor.
And the drama had its finale yes
terday afternoon. One f' the -leaders-
of an alleged "frame-up" dropped
around to question just why the
Daily Tar Heel' doesn't "keep its
nose out of freshman elections."
At least, the frosh have had the
spotlight this week.
Football Clinic
Will Meet Again
Coach Ray Wolf's football clinic
will meet tonight for its second meet
ing, featuring moving pictures of the
Tulane game (guaranteed this time)
and possibly of the NYU game.
The coach will continue his explana
tions of plays and formations, but
will dwell tonight on rules, referee
signals, and such technical points.
The clinic, as last week, will meet
at 7:30 in the lounge of Graham
Memorial, and accomodations will be
made to take care of the crowd indi
cated by the success of last week's
clinic.
If the clinics continue to be suc
cessful, Coach Wolf hopes to make
them a weekly Thursday night fea
ture on the campus. . '
Singing Out Its Song Titles
Blue Barron's Orchestra
Will Play Here Next Week
German Fraternity
Meets Tonight At 8
Delta Phi Alpha, German frater
nity, will meet tonight from 8 to 9
o'clock in room 301 Venable for its
first meeting of the year. Dr. Werner
P. Friederich, member of the German
department who spent some time in
Germany and Switzerland during the
past year will speak on "Student
Life in Nazi Germany." Following
the talk a short social program will
be held.
All members and all new eligibles
have been invited to attend and plans
for the coming year will be dis
cussed. Officers are Charles Vil
brandt, president; Charles Putzel,
vice president; Leah Robinson, sec
retary. This .chapter of Delta Phi Alpha
was organized here last year under
the leadership and guidance of Dr.
Richard Jente, head of the German
department. The purpose of the fra
ternity is to foster and recognize ex
cellence in German study.
O'clock And
Class Officers
Holland Publicly
Withdraws; Favors
Candidate Ward
Polls will be open today from 9 to
5 o'clock in front of the YMCA for
the election of four Freshman class
officers. The Carolina Political union
automatic voting machines will bo
used with members of the Student
council taking charge. Chairman Voit
Gilmore yesterday made frantic calls
over the eastern part of the United
States to obtain permission to operate
. the machines.
At freshman assembly yesterday
Bill Hendrix, vice president of the
student body, presided and introduced
the four presidential candidates who
made one-minute speeches. After the
brief talks, Hendrix introduced those
men running for vice president, secre
tary and treasurer.
Shore's Plans
The first speaker, Bill Shore, gave
four objectives that he would try to
reach when elected, "To secure co
operation and support for the fresh
man football squad, to occasionally
have swing sessions in assembly, to
cooperate with the Freshmen Friend
ship council in having at least, one
dance each quarter for freshmen only,
and to create a feeling of friendship
and cooperation among the freshmen."
"I am not a fraternity pledge; I
am not backed by a political party;
I have made no promises of appoint
ments ; and I am not making any rash
promises of any kind," said Bill Ward.
When Jack Holland was called upon,
he made public his withdrawal favor
ing Bill Ward. This leaves only three
men in the race for president.
Pete Wallenborn of Reidsville, who
was nominated for the presidency on
Tuesday, has since resigned, also fav
oring Bill Ward.
What?
"Muck" Dunn said, "Hadn't you
rather hear Freddy Johnson and his
band than Dean Francis Bradshaw
and his speeches? I will better the
dull assembly programs and cooperate
with the Freshman class in all other
ways."
The two men in the running for
vice president are Bill Schwartz and
Dudley Cocke. John Diffindal and
Fletcher Mann are out for secretary
and Ned Edwards, Ralph Bowman and
Fairfax Mackerman remain in the
election for treasurer.
Reporters, Heelers
Must Attend Meeting
There will be an important meet
ing of all Daily Tar Heel report
ers and heelers in the office at 1:30
this afternoon. It is imperative that
all be present in mind and body.
Fall German' Clubbers Will
Change Partners At
Annual Dance Set
"The music of yesterday and today
played the Blue Barron way" will be
featured at the Fall German dance
series here next week.
The artists who appear nightly over
NBC "broadcasts will come from an
engagement in the Green room of
Hotel Edison, New York, to play for
the dance set, which is planned to be
one of the most enjoyable ever given
on the campus.
Sweet And Hot
It should be some time "if music
be the food of love," for the orchestra
revels in both sweet and hot rhythms.
It is probably best known for its
singing titles.
The boys have developed a different
technique, that of announcing an old
favorite, which suggests the theme of
the song to be played; For example,
"Can I Forget You" will be announced
with the familiar "Remember Me."
