C, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1940 Bjoerling, Favorite Swedish Sound & Fury 1 enor, Likes American Ways Begins Ticket Sales Drive Editorial: 435; Km: 4S51 ; Klsfet: 3S NUMBER 57 Although considered the favorite' singer of Sweden, Jussi Bjoerling is in temperament and inclination thor oughly American. This gifted artist, the youngest lead with the Metropoli tan Opera Company, developed this liking for America when he first sang in this country at the age of eight years, in a quartet with his father and two brothers. Bjoerling will appear on the stage of Memorial hall tomorrow night at 8 o'clock under the auspices of the Stu dent Entertainment committee. This will be the second presentation in the years series of entertainment for Car olina students. The Swedish tenor, likes American cities and people, who have always re-. ceived him with the greatest kindness. He likes American hotels, except that the rooms are invariably too hot and too dry. This means that his throat may get dry and he constantly runs the chance of taking a cold.' He is especially fond of American Club Making Plans For Two More Shows This Year - With the deadline for all ticket sales foods, and prefers this continent's dishes to those of his native country. In each city that he visits, Bjoerling tries to find the outstanding local spec ialty. He considers the cities of New York and San Francisco unrivalled for fine foods. "New York is almost un-j believeable," he says, "for you can get better spaghetti than you can find ony two weeks off, Sound and Fury in Italy, better Austrian dishes than threw its weight behind its sales cam- you can get m Austria, the finest Rus- paign yesterday and sent out dozens sian, German and Spanish dishes, and 0f solicitors to reach the goal before even Smorgasbord comparable ito np,. 17 Attempting to stand alone, without the support of the student activity fee, Jussi Bjoerling likes American air- . . - - , . ,,. . sales as its lone source of income.

Marine Aid To British Expected Town Boys Elect Campus Political Delegates Tonight Election of Town Boys Association representatives to the campus poli tical parties will occupy the main part of the meeting of that organiza tion tonight at 7:30 in Gerrard hall. Six delegates will be chosen to rep resent the town students on the Stu dent party and one will be elected to the University party. The meeting will then be , turned into a combination athletic clinic and sports seminar. The athletic associa tion ha3 consented to show a group of movies that' have been taken of ath letic events here at Carolina. Shots of the Carolina-Duke swim ming meet and films of boxing and track meets are among those to be presented.

' I By United Press German submarines and planes con tinned fierce attacks on convoys of British merchant ships in the north ern Atlantic Tuesday as Germany offi cially claimed her biggest victory of the war alone Britain's vital "life line" of supplies from the United States. The German Hieh Command said that 17 merchant ships and a large aux iliarv cruiser of about. 17,000 tons were sunk Monday, totalling .161,000 tons, and that the cruiser and 15 of the merchant men were sent to the bottom in an attack on one convoyr- Never before had the Nazi claimed the destruction of so much British ton nage in one day. Reports indicated that the shatter ed convoy was one known to have been attacked Monday about 400 miles west of Ireland by U-boats. The German radio heard in London said the attacked convoy was en route to the British Isles. ' Thus large quantities of United States war sup plies sq badly needed by Britain may have been sent to the bottom. Officials in Berlin predicting even fiercer destruction of British shipping said Tuesday night that Adolph Hitler is ready to launch a new type sea-of fensive with at least 100 submarines operating in "wolf packs" against big enemy convoys. WASHINGTON, Dec. 3. The Unit ed States will shortly release thou sands of tons of merchant shipping to help Britain maintain her supply line against devastating inroads of German sea raiders, it was disclosed tonight. ATHENS, Dec 3. Greek troops advancing through a heavy snow storm were reported tonight driving upon Porto Edda, vital Albanian port for Italian military reinforcements and supplies after seizing-control of the highway northward to Argyrocastron. WASHINGTON, Dec. 3. The House Judiciary Committee tonight secretly - See NEWS BRIEFS, page 4. Over 3,000 Names On Book Ex Scroll To Honor Team ; Over 3.000 Tar Heel fans have ex pressed their sentiments of "Congrat-including myself, ulations Coach Wolf and Team on a Successful Year" by signing their names on the seven foot scroll which unwinds in the Book Ex like a town crier decree of the Middle Ages. "Frank P. Graham" is the first name affixed to the parchment-like declaration with "Billy Carmichael" a close second. White space is at a premium on the document because the many signatures have overflowed1 the estimated requirements. The back of the paper may have to be used in or der to acquire more names on the avowal of loyalty to the Duke-downing Wolf men. Heads of the Book Exchange con ceived the plan a week ago and the building department constructed the schol! ends, arranged the display. Many professors and other promi nent people have affixed their "John Henry's" to the paper and Book Ex of- - - . hcials announce that room win De pro- hiehliehted bv an address vided for every one standing behind sistant Secretarv of State the team ana coacnes to maKe mat iaui, ridge known. have great plans for a revue to be given next quarter, but the students will have to give us the go-ahead signal. According to our" constitution, we can't incur debts on the hope that we will make enough on box office sales to pay them. We must have the money before we begin actual production." Last Year's Shows Last year Sound aVid Fury presented two shows which were well-supported by the student body. If the sales cam paign is successful, McGaughey prom ised that "Sound and Fury will try to deflate some of the campus wind- and show that there's plenty of humor at Caro lina." The ticket sales committee is headed by Breezy Breazeale, Marjorie John ston, Bud Samo, Bob Richards, and St. Clair Pugh. Tickets may be obtained from any member of Sound and Fury or at chapel period in the "Y", Fish Worley's office, and Ledbetter-Pick aid's. Advisory Committee Proposes Improvements Juniors, Seniors Play Game of Century Today Neither rain, nor snow, nor hail, nor sleet, nor cold, nor black of night, shall stay the stalwart seniors and the jumping juniors from finally play ing their classic of the classes tag football game today on the intramural field at 4 o'clock. Junior President Pinky Elliot an nounced in a news flash late last night that Ossie Johnson will hold down the captaincy of the third-year squad. Lanky, blond Elliot also made the statement that the Juniors will win. "That's aU there is to it," "he said. "Well just win. We got that oP fight." Herb Hardy, senior prexy said noth ing. Absolutely nothing. The seniors have been holding secret practices so secretively that the president of the class refuses to admit even that his eleven has practiced at all. The game is almost a toss-up. At least the two presidents each as sert that his team will win. Legislature Hears Budgets Debate Council Fee Vote Arises Monday With a fight in the offing over the much-discussed Debate council Irndget, the Student Legislature meets next Monday night at 9 o'clock in Gerrard hall to act on the measure as well as the proposed budgets of the Daily Tar Heel, the Carolina Magazine, and Tar an' Feathers. Group Submits Recommendations To Rogerson Long's Address Opens Religious Institute Here The Debate council budget, which caused heated debate at the legisla ture's last session, was tabled, prev iously. v,Tjhose Jn favor of reducing the council f ee by 10 cents are expected to oppose the measure on the grounds that last year's appropriation was "spent unwisely."

All members are urged to attend as by As- Yackety-Yack pictures will be taken. BrecEin The Student Advisory committee, long-pressed for action on the condi tion of campus walks, grounds, and drives, moved yesterday to make im provements by offering: recommenda tions to L. B. Eogerson, assistant comp troller of the University. Admitting that "the University is limited at the present time," the group suggested that funds be set aside each year toward the $60,000 necessary for complete brick walks; that all new buildings should be equipped with walks when they are built; and that a public announcement be made that the University is unable to do the complete job immediately. The committee pointed out that the condition of the walks impaired the health of the students in dry weather by dust and in rainy weather by mud. A coating of calcium chloride was sug gested as the most effective means of maintaining the walks in a sain tar y condition until the brick walks are in stalled. The cost of such maintenance would amount to four cents per square yard or $1300. The group also reported that "the damages caused to campus buildings from gravel being brought in from off the walks are great, making it necessary to recondition the floor often. The wear and tear on footwear caused by the gravel is costly to the students -r-the average life of a shoe sole being four months." Recommendations for H The committee, made a special rec ommendation that the grounds and walks of "H" dormitory be improved. The group had previously received a petition from the residents of the dor mitory " asking.' that' action be taken. The suggestions for improvements in cluded a walk leading from each en trance of the dormitory,' improvement rv-T yliMinQ nnifi Ana aw9 .fVio tTo tt' ing of: grass" surrounding the build ing. - : ; ' : ' The advisory group urged that steps be taken to block off the road running parallel to Emerson stadium to insure the safety of students who use the road as a walkway to and from the cafe teria. In event that the road cannot be blocked, a request was made for a permanent brick walk to be construct ed alongside the present road. In any case, the committee asked that the road be treated with calcium chloride. Long discussed national defense, as related to differences and freedom of thought and conscience.
