Roanoke Colony Memorial Donates $1500 Money To Be Used For Raleigh Fund By Elsie Lyon A fund amounting to about $1500 has been given the University library by the Roanoke Colony Memorial associa tion, Alan Cook, assistant librarian, announced last night. The money will establish a Sir Wal ter Raleigh Memorial Fund to purchase books, pamphlets and manuscripts re lating to Sir Walter Raleigh or his colonies. The articles will be placed in the North Carolina Collection in the library. Thp Roanoke Colony Memorial as sociation, founded in 1893, raised funds for the purchase of Fort Raleigh on oke Island. It has kept alive in terest in the lost colony and its founder for the past 50 years. Assets Allotted To Library. Since the Fort Raleigh site was re cently donated to the Federal Govern ment making the continued existence and activity of the association unneces rv nd impractical, the Board of Di rectors decided on August 25, 1939, to give all its assets to the University oi Mrtii Carolina library. . The fund will be spent in purchasing (1) writings of Raleigh m the rarest wi;;,vn that available funds will al low; (2) Biographies of Raleigh; of which there are perhaps more than oi any other celebrity; (3) magazine ar :ioa pnlinf? with Raleigh; and (4) ofrial on the Roanoke Island Colonies-and members of the Colonies, manuscripts, or photostatic reproduc- wi o c print 5?. relating to lions vijl Hiu-.r j - Raleigh and hiscolonies.

Willkie, addressing the millions. who voted for him for president, urged them tonight to continue to fight for the principles of his campaign as a con structive opposition vital to the bal anced operation of democracy. In a nationwide radio talk broadcast over the donated networks of NBC, CBS and MBS. the defeated Republi can candidate asked that his followers continue the organizations they found ed to support him, but not his name.

The board, in passing the budget of the Mag, makes it possible for the pub- i,Votinn rt have covers in two colors and to continue printing cartoons. 11 V w - The provision that the salary of the annual editor is to be paid in install ments is no different than m former vears with the exception that the pay ments are made as each deadline for a section is reached and the material completed on time. In case the editor does not set in over the deadline he loses some of his salary. All in all, there are ten sections and a deadline met for each one means a paycheck for the editor. The purpose of this plan is to give added incentive to getting the Yackety-Yack out on time, it was stat ed by Leonard Lobred, chairman of the PU board.

" S s ; Board Sets WigginsProposes Plan To Settle Speaker Battle Taking immediate steps to squash the conflict between their -organizations, Bill Joslin and Manfred Rogers, heads of the Carolina Political union and International Relations club, de cided yesterday to confer as soon as possible to discuss plans for schedul ing speakers. The actions were initiated yesterday afternoon by the CPU at its regular meeting, when Lee Wiggins proposed a motion to alleviate the differences between the two organizations. The motion was immediately accepted and passed by the members of the organi zation. ' Wiggins' motion was that the CPU withdraw from the international field and schedule no more speakers from ;hat branch of politics. Wiggins pro posed further that the two organiza ions appoint a faculty advisor, pre ferably Dr. Frank P. Graham, to con suit with the chairmen of both organi zations before a speaker is asked to appear, so that neither organization will overstep its bounds. Wiggins also proposed that the two organizations make some sort of an agreement on the dates of various speakers so that there will be no conflict and no flooding the campus. ' Agreement Pending The IRC. when informed of the CPU's action, immediately empower ed Rogers to meet with Joslin and work out s.ome sort of compatible arrange ments . ., . - . Roe-ers remarked, "I intend to work full-heartedly with Joslin and extend him my full cooperation to make this arrangement work." The IRC is also heartily m favor of having Dr. Graham as faculty ad visor, he said. Both organizations ex pressed hope that he will be able to serve them. The actions of both the CPU and the IRC came after a series of articles in the Daily Tar Heel pointing out that unless the two organizations effected some sort of compromise they might seriously hurt themselves and the cam pus by becoming unable eventually to obtain good speakers. Interdorm Council To Meet Tonight T?en Heath, president of the Inter- dormitory council, announced yester day that the council will meet tnis evening at 7:30 in Graham Memorial. Heath remarked that the council merely will discuss routine business matters that have arisen since the last meeting of the council. Koch Says Playmakers Need More Working Di To Debate Party System The Di senate will discuss a bill entitled "Resolved that the one-party svstem now existing in the South is detrimental to this region," at its meet ing tonight at 7:15 in the.Di hall m New West.

The program will include the overture to "The Sicil ian Vespers," by Verdi; "Songs My Mother Taught Me," by Dvorak; "Adagio Pathetique," by Godard; and "The Irish Washerwoman," as arrang ed by Sowerby. Both Political Parties Claim No Open Interest Many Candidates Expected To Enter 'Hot' Election By Philip Carden Leaders in Carolina's two chief po litical parties proclaimed in unison yesterday that they were keeping strictly "hands off freshman elec tions this -year. But that's an old story and if it's true this year it will be the first time in many years. One of the higher-ups in the Stu dent Party admitted last night that he had tried to "get something start ed" in the class but that freshman in terest was so low that he had decided to "let it ride." He flatly denied that any candidate had been offered his party's support, refuting the claim of one independent candidate that he had received such an offer. A member of the University Party steering committee said that the com mittee had not met this year and was not planning to meet before the win ter quarter. He added that it was gen erally understood among members that the party would be absolutely non participating. , Parties Aren't Kidding From the looks of things in the quadrangles, the boys "aren't kidding this time. There's a good bit of spo radic politicking and back-slapping coins on. but the lack of any concert ed action indicates that no organized vote-getting machine has yet gone to work. But parties don't get in their obvious workmtil after nominations are over anyhow. Sometimes party men do .their picking after nomina tions, when they have trouble find ing men beforehand. Everthing points to such a situation this year. If this is the case, party activity will start promptly at 11 o'clock this morning. Of course, officially, the parties will be as innocent Friday as they are to day, but there are plenty of people willing to offer odds that the winners will be a party man. Last year's winner, Tommy Crudup, was generally considered a Univer sity party candidate and the second man, Yates jroteax, was-omy votes behind with Student Party back ing. Headache To Council Freshman politics have always been a headache to the Student Council. Freshmen know so little about Caro lina politics and each other that it is usually easy for a political machine to pick their officers for them. The council dosen't think. this is right, so they have always followed a policy of keeping the election date secret until the latest possible time, to mini mize outside influence. Today and tomorrow if tradition prevails terrific lists of nominees which the council will have after this morning's meeting will reduce rapid See POLITICS, page U.

Wp need more working space for a growing department which serves the entire campus and the state, in sucn productions as 'The Lost Colony', and The Highland Call " Dr. Frederick W Koch, founder and director oi tne Carolina Playmakers, said yesterday afternoon in regard to the possibility of a new theater for the dramatists here in Chapel Hill. " The organization has been endowed hv the Rockefeller Foundation with $135,000 for the proposed building, provided the University can raise the remainder of the necessary amount. President Graham will discuss the U;u;r,. nrntrrnm for the next tWO UUUUUX See KOCH SAYS, page 4.- Knight, Sherman, Stevens Indicate Tentative Planks 'V By Ernest Frankel On the eve of nominations for fresh man class officers, three men disclosed last night that they intended to seek the presidency, and outlined tentative platforms. Political activity, unusually warm for this stage of the game, centered chiefly among the freshmen them selves. The prospective candidates termed themselves "independents" al though one said that he had been ap proached by the Student party. Stressing their "interest m a fair election and disinterest in string pull ing," Dick Knight of New Orleans, Louisiana, Mac Sherman of New York City, and Pete Stevens of New Haven, Connecticut said that they would en ter the campaign. Nominees To Speak After the nominations this morning in Memorial hall, the freshmen will hear the nominees at Chapel period to- . -a 1 m morrow. The voting win oe neia irom 9 o'clock Thursday morning until 5 o'clock that afternoon in specially designated polls Knight said that he has "noticed the lack of unity in the freshman class. If elected, I'll try to gain more unity by better organization of the class and activities which will encourage unity. There is a need for some program which will make the freshmen stand out as a group." Sherman, who lives' in Graham dor mitory, explained that he has "no use for the idea that the presidency of the freshman class means political oblivion. A man should be able to stand on his record. 'I believe that the freshman class should have more meaning than just a group to put on one dance a year. There should be definite plans by which the class would function. There is a ereat opportunity for the class to aid See FROSH CANDIDATES, page U. CPU Accepts Six Applicants After carefully considering the 60 odd applications for membership in the Carolina Political union, members-yesterday filled six vacant positions. The new members are Helen Milam, Lucille Darvin, Jabie Hayward, Rich ard Railey, Truman Hobbs and Frank Williams. Bill Joslin, chairman of the union, remarked, "We regret that we could take in mTmore than six of the 60-odd students who applied, but our consti- tution limits the union to 25 members." Joslin Gets Speakers Discussing his Washington trip oyer the weekend, Joslin announced that Murine his stav in the capital he con- tacted among others, RobertH. Jack son, Attorney General; Jesse Jones, Secretary of Commerce; Nelson Rocke feller; Joseph Martin, Chairman of . of the Republican National Committee; Sam Rayburn, Speaker of the House of Representatives; J. Edgar Hoover, Head of the F. B. L; Thurman Arnold, Assistant Attorney. General; and Claude Wickard, Secretary of Agricul ture. Joslin also said that Senator Claude Penner's address from the Hill on No vember 25 would probably be broadcast over a coast-to-coast network. ....
