members were on the floor and two
spectators and two lobbyists, Buddy
Nordan and J. B. Harris, were in the
gallery. .
Two important, measures were sup

would bar Jimmy Davis, president of
the student body, from remaining on
the floor once a meeting of the legis
lature began.
THREE-MAN COMMITTEE
A three-man committee investigat
ing student fee collecting bodies were
t9 present the student council budget

At 9:08 Speaker Fairley discovered
that at least 33 members would have
to be present before the group could
even consider the Dawson proposal.
It was tabled.
Chuck Kline presented the report
of the threerman committee made up
of Martin Harmon, Watts Carr and
himself. The report showed a student
council budget of $1100 including $954
for actual expenses and $164 for mis
cellaneous of - which $107- had already
been used for the "Spirit of Carolina"
dormitory room plaques.
The $954 of actual expenses includ
ed: Orientation, $61; bookkeeping and
auditing, $15; supplies and materials,
$35; permanent equipment, $25; postage-and
telephone, $50; Yackety Yack
space, $80; elections and inaugurations,
$75; national association fees, $5;
keys, $65; banquets, $125; traveling
expenses, $200? depreciation, $10; "mis
cellaneous, $100.
A motion was passed to vote on the
budget, but Davis told the group it
could not pass the budget unless two
thirds of the members were present.
Only 29 members were on hand, ex
cluding the two spectators and two
lobbyists who could not vote anyhow.
The budget was tabled.
Truman Hobbs asked the chair about
the bill passed at the last meeting
which provided that all members ab
sent from meetings were to be thrown
out of the legislature. The chair in
formed the 29 present that the bill
would go in effect at the, next meet
ing. The next meeting is not scheduled
for two weeks. But Mitchell Britt, no
ticing the proximity of exams, made
a motion that the body hold a special
session this coming Monday. It was
seconded. --
At 9:28 Chuck Kline made a motion
that the legislature adjourn. It too
was seconded.
Box score for the night: One amend
ment tabled;, one budget tabled; one
bill requiring members to be present
or else about to be enforced.
World Free From Nature 's
Whims In Future Envisione
Forecasts Engraved
On Wax Discs, Sealed
Hermetically In Crypt
PITTSBURGH, Pa, A world freed
from dependence on nature's whims
was envisioned for the year 1959, in
a record of the future as forecast by
Rational leaders in" the economic and
social life of this country.
The predictions of the next 20 years'
progress in religion, education, science

part of the dedication of the new ultra
modern 50,000 watt transmitter of
Westinghouse Station KDKA at su
burban Allison Park.
CAREFULLY RESERVED
Shielded from air and sun by the spe

they will be broadcast as a greeting
from the past on the thirty-ninth
anniversary of KDKA's pioneer broad

Ramsay, Wolf '
Will tead Panel
:.-- -
' The question of labor organization
in the American industrial set-up will
be the subject of ther third Graham
Memorial film forum, to be. held in
the main lounge this evening at 7:30.
After the motion1 pictures "The
People of the Cumberland" and "Mil
lions of Us" have been shown, a pan
el discussion, led by Dr. R: H. Wet
tach, Dr. H. D. Wolf,' John Creedy,
and Anne Ramsey, will be held.
Represented in the forum discussion
are four speakers who have been ac
tively engaged in either pro or anti
union work. Dr. R. H. Wettach, re
cent assistant to ' the " attorney, is a
member of the University law school
faculty. He will present the conser
vative side of the labor problem.
WOLF TO DISCUSS
,
Expressing the standpoint of one
who teaches labor relations will be
Dr. K. D. Wolf. For many years he
has been a professor in labor econo
mics at the University.
John' Creedy, editor of the Carolina
Magazine last year and present put
lisher of "The Union Advocate," 3
labor paper in Durham, will uphold
the worker's stand on xne issue.
Credy has been active in organizing
unions in the Durham tobacco plantsj
and has first hand information from
the labor "front" available. I
UNION ORGANIZER
A graduate of Vassar, Anne Ram
say has also had a" large amount of
experience in the field of union organ-?
izing. For several years she was
educational director of the Ladies
International Garment Worker's
unions, one of the most powerful of
its kind in the world. It is expected
that -she will also take a stand for
labor.
After the discussion has been con
cluded, the floor will be opened to
discussion from the audience. Per
sons present may ask the speakers
any questions pertaining to the issue
at that time.
Dealing with the rise of labor
unions in Tennessee, "The People of
Cumberland" portrays the murder
and chaos involved when scabs and
workers clash. "Millions of Us" is
a similar film, depicting the organi
zation of a strong labor movement
in the large industrial plants.
Universities Must
Provide Democracy
NEW YORK CITY (ACP) In a
democratic state, universities arid col
leges must provide an example of de
mocracy and diffuse a high level of
intelligence as well as perform their
job of training leaders.
This is a candid opinion of Dr. Harry
Woodburn Chace, chancellor of New
York university, who recently gave
his annual report to the' university
council.
"Higher education in America," Dr.
Chace affirmed in his report, "has been
learning to live with a new set of facts
and outlooks with which it has not as
yet altogether come to terms. Funda
mentally our thinking has had to be
conditioned by the enormously in
creased public interest in what we are
about and a curiously mixed attitude
it is. . .
"On the one hand it is reflected in
what I believe to be a permanent step
taken in American thought, namely,
that colleges and universities are
called on not only to train leaders but
to see to the diffusion of a high level
of intelligence. There is a deep pub
lic conviction that they are thebroad
est of the open roads to opportunity;
there is a widespread faith, inarticu
late, sometimes almost pathetic, ' in
their power.
"On the other hand, there has been
all along a curious fear about what
higher education does to people. It is
spoken of as 'unsettling radical,' 'ir
religious'; utterances of individuals
are regarded as official expressions of
the philosophy of whole institutions
by people who forget that universities
in a democratic state must themselves
exemplify the processes of democracy.
In the years which lie ahead the recog
nition of this function of our univer
sities is essential to the preservation
of democracy itself."

Gilbert, Sullivan
Concert Scheduled
For December 7
A Gilbert and Sullivan concert will
be given at the Carolina Playmakers
theater December 7 by George Baker
and Olive Groves, distinguished Brit
ish baritone and soprano, it was an
nounced yesterday.
Their program will include songs
and duets from the most important
operas coordinated to a running ac
count of the composer and librettist by
Mr. Baker, who is an ardent student of
light opera and an authority on Gilbert
and Sullivan.
INTERNATIONAL FAME
Mr. Baker won international fame
as principal baritone of the D'Oyly
Carte Opera company, the world's
foremost Gilbert and Sullivan troupe.
He has toured the length and breadth
of all English speaking countries, and
his fame has gone even farther
through recordings of Gilbert and Sul
livan music.
Miss Groves is touring America for
the first time this season, but she is
almost a household word in England
because she has made more than six
hundred broadcasts for the British
Broadcasting cqmpany during the past
six years.
The appearance of Mr. Baker and
Miss Groves in Chapel Hill is under
the joint sponsorship of the depart
ment of music and the Carolina Play
makers. Magill Issues Call

office today. Any handicraft camp
counselors or students who have had
experience in teaching arts and crafts
are requested to contact the student
union director.
Hoey Will Be Mere
At Institute Qpenin
Rabbi E. N. CalischlTHREE FORMER
Sermon Of Year
"The weakness of education today is
its spiritual neglect, its inadequate
preparation for the real problems of
life," Rabbi Edward N. Calisch of
Richmond told a large audience Sun
day night as he delievered the first
University sermon of the year in Hill
music hall, speaking on "Education
and Life."
"The education of today must look
to the heart as well as to the mind
it must open the door to spiritual free
dom as well as to material opportunity.
It should be an integration of the ener
gies and capacities toward something
more than just successful breadwin
ning, for man does not live by bread
alone," the rabbi continued.
"Going on to explain his views,
Calisch said, "Education is the learn
ing of the rules of this chess game
of life, that we may play it not only
successfully, but also truly, correctly,
and honorably. It is a training of the
intellect that through it we may obtain
an evaluation of life in terms of some
thing beyond even the intellect. It is
to be more than mere instructions in
textbooks it is to be a teaching of
how to think rather than of what to
think, a teaching that has in it the es
sence of freedom freedom from es
tablished prejudices, from traditional
pre-conceptions, from hasty conclu
sions and mass-judgments, from the
dead hand of age-old tags, labels and
classifications." -
'It carries with it not only the right,
but the duty, to doubt that the last
word has been said in any department
of human knowledge of all things and
all phenomena. It is the means of vic
tory over one's self, a discipline tover
come, not only the inertia of indivi
dual ignorance, but also -the deaden
ing influence of mass psychology and
mob thinking," Calisch concluded.
After the speech an informal re
ception was held in the main lounge of
the student union building, where re
freshments were served.
Yesterday Calisch made two addi
tional talks, the first at a faculty
lunncheon, and the second at a student
supper in the Methodist church.
Army Starts Drive To Enlist
Students For Flight Training
WASHINGTON, D. C. (ACP) In
another effort to build 'the nation's
air force to new strength and power,
the U. S. Army has begun from here
a giant drive to enlist hundreds of
college youth in the regular army's
air training program.
Army representatives are making
tours of colleges in the several corps
areas, and applications are being
taken for those who wish to

regular army air service.
However, students are not being

U. S. Facing
To Further Trade Relations
Adjustment Must Be
Made Of Internal
Economy, Psychology
vThe United States faces a rare op
portunity to build up its trade rela
tions in the Western Hemisphere on a
permanent basis, if it is able to adjust
its internal economy and its economic
psychology to the inescapable fact
that either immediately or in the long
run an expanding trade with Latin
America must involve an expansion of
imports as well as exports, states the
Guaranty Trust company of New
York in the current issue of "The Guar
anty Survey," its monthly review of
business and financial conditions in
the United States and abroad, pub
lished recently.
"A trade policy of this kind would
be far more beneficial in the end than
a haphazard and opportunistic move
ment such as took place during the
World War, with a subsequent loss of
the progress made during the war
years," The Survey continues. "The
real opportunity that confronts the
United States and Latin America to-

Opportunity
s-
day is that of building for the future,
"Various steps taken recently by
governmental and private agencies in
this country to foster trade expansion
between the United States and Latin
America reflect the general belief that
the outbreak of war in Europe has
greatly increased the opportunities for
such expansion. Whether an increase
of comparable magnitude to that
which resulted from the World War
will take place in the course of the
present war is, of course, a matter of
conjecture. Some of the conditions es
sential to such an increase exist. But
to take full advantage of these oppor
tunities will involve serious difficul
ties. The Latin American countries
have no large gold reserves, except
Argentina, which s reported to have
more than $400,000,000 in gold or sup
plies of foreign exchange. Uruguay
has about $68,000,000 and Venezuela
about $40,000,000. Most of the Latin
American countries have suffered in
recent years from a chronic exchange
shortage a situation that has led to
rigid exchange controls, formidable
trade barriers, and defaults on foreign
