Class -Kevision Proposal
Opposed In Committee
Bill Drafted
For Legislative
Action Monday
By Bucky Harward
la a heated bull session yesterday
afternoon, the ways and means com
mittee of the Student Legislature in
dicated disapproval of the class reor
ganization proposal and then' pre
pared to draft it as a bill for legisla
tive cticn Monday night.
Arguments that the bill, if passed,
would promote more efficiency in
class government and still allow lee
way for increasing its present limited
functions were opposed with charges
that the plan cannot provide efficiency
shea the classes do nothing anyway
and would reduce participation in stu
dent government-
Clampitt, Barrett Support Plan
Supporters of the plan were Martha
rbraDitt. committee member who
phoned in her approval from the in
firmary, and Charles Barrett, manag
ing editor of the Tar Heel who was
asked to sit in and did most of the
arguing for the proposal.
Those opposed to the -.measure were
ways and means chairman Terry San
ford, Strident Party Chairman Mitchell
Britt and University Party Chairman
Jirk Garland, who although not a
committee member had been asked to
come. , ,
W. J. Smith, who will draw up the
legislative bill from the Student Gov
ernment "committee's recommenda
tions, was still undecided after the
louf of argumg.SiaXeagex," fifth
member of the committee, was ab
sent
Plan to Combine Secretaryt Treasurer
The plan, as almost unanimously
endorsed and recommended by the
.Student Government committee, pro
vides for combining the offices of sec
retary and treasurer of each class and
limiting all committee functions of
each class to one executive body of 15
members.
Supporters of the proposal reiter
ated their arguments that present
idlness of the secretary and treasurer
and bungling work by oversized com
mittees should be eliminated .by pass
ing the bilL
Its opponents, however, preferred
the present set-up which "isn't cost
ing or hurting anything and gives the
boys something to write home about."
Jitterbugging
To Be Confined
To Special Area -
Jitterbugging, a pleasure to some,
a curse to many will be confined
to the section of the floor immediate
ly to the left of the bandstand at all
future Chapel, Hill dances, it was stat
ed yesterday in a ruling of the Uni
versity dance committee.
Fantastic dancing as practiced here
tad become something of a menace to
the main body of dance-goers, who
haven't yet mastered the art or who
don't care to. In the face of repeat
ed complaints and criticism, the dance
committee took action.
In the past, the policy of the com
auttee, which governs Carolina dances
with a weighty hand, was to leave it
a? to the organization giving the
dance whether the "jive-stuff, jitter
b"J?Sing" would be allowed. The group
ta already cooperated in enforcing
the decision of the organizations. The
ttain fault of the system was that
the organization never took any defi
ne stand.

Westminster
Choir Appears
Here March 1
Cfioral Singers
To Be Sponsored
By Playmakers
The Westminister Choir, world-
famous American choral singers con
ducted by Dr. John Finley William
son; will appear in concert here the
evening of March 1 in Hill Music hall I
under the 'sponsorship of the Carolina ;
Playmakers. I
The Chapel Hill concert is one in'
a number of appearances the Choir j
is making in a tour of the Southern
states, which began several weeks ago S
following a concert in Havana, Cuba.j
Since its establishment in 1921, the'
Westminister Choir has been one of r
America's favorite concert attractions !
and has been applauded in most of'
the principal cities of Europe. It has
sung in all parts of the United States
and has crossed the Atlantic twice
to fill European engagements. The
Choir is also known widely through its
coast-to-coast broadcasts over the
National Broadcasting company with
the New York Philharmonic-Sym
phony Orchestra.
As first organized the Westminister
Choir was a volunteer church choir
in Dayton, Ohio, singing at the West
minister Presbyterian Church. Its
fame soon spread far beyond the
bounds of Dayton and a New York
concert manager became sufficiently
interested to book a professional tour
of several weeks' duration. That was
the beginning of p. national institu
tion. In 1926 Dr. Williamson, who
founded the Choir and has been its
only director, established the West
minister Choir College in Princeton,
N. J., as a training ground for church
musical directors. Since that time the
Choir has been an integral part of
the school in Princeton.
In its concert here the Choir will
present a balanced program of great
choral classics, modern American
music and Negro and Indian folk
songs. One of the numbers will be
the popular Ballad for Americans by
Earl Robinson.

Heart Disease
In Ecuador, Says Wagner
By Shirley Hobbs
While more people of the United
States are dying from heart failure
than, any other disease, in Ecuador it
is a rare malady, says George Albert
Wagner, medical student and dele
gate from Guayaquil to the South
American summer school at the Uni
versity. He is the son of the owner of
the largest hospital in Ecuador.
Wagner" explains the comparative
acfc-of heart disease in his country
bv the different mode of life. "You
always hurry in your country," he
says. "Your hearts cannot stand the
rush. We rarely do anytnmg last, so
we rarely die from heart disease.

Tickets
Go On Sale
Season ticket holders have had their
chance at first choice of seats to
"Standing Room Only," and today
sales are thrown open to everybody,
Carroll McGaughey, Sound and Fury
president, said yesterday.
"The show is going to be presented
next Wednesday and Thursday," Mc
Gaughey said, "and I advise everyone
who wants a decent seat to check by
the main lobby of Memorial hall be
tween 2 and 5 o'clock this afternoon
with season ticket or half a buck."
Tickets will be on sale every after
noon right on up to show time, but
the center sections are already "pretty
well shot," and all the best seats will
soon be taken. '
First Production of Year
"Standing Room Only" is Sound
and Fury's first big production of the
year. Like last year's Student Fac
ulty day jamboree, "Pass in Revue,"
the success of which led to the forma
tion of the club, the production is a
collection of songs, dances, sketches
and general insanity. This one, how
ever, is done with a little more polish.
A wide variety can be noted in the
talent represented by the cast. This

such as tuberculosis. Yellow fever is
practically non-existent. The Rocke
feller Foundation has done much to
make Ecuador acceptable as a class
A port."
Hospitals for Poor Are Free
Wagner does not believe that social
ized medicine has a bright future in
his country. Through private charity,
hospitals for the poor are run abso
lutely free, with Guayaquil claiming
the largest hospitals of this type.
Money for it is obtained chiefly from
lotteries; wills and a large cattle farm,
while some of the nurses are Catholic
nuns. On this same basis are run
maternity hospitals and insane asyl
ums. The only hints of socialized medicine
in Ecuador are the X-ray, dentistry,

Reynolds Opposes Aid Bill
As Leading U. S. Toward War
N. C. Senator Makes
Three-Hour Tirade
. By United Press
WASHINGTON, Feb. 20 Senate
foes of the British-aid bill gained a
surprise adherent today when Senator
Robert R. Reynolds, Democrat of
North Carolina, revealed he would
vote against the measure because it
might lead to a United States "dec
laration of war."
Reynolds deflection was offset,
however, by Senator Harold H. Bur
ton's announcement that he favored
the bill. Burton, Ohio Republican, had
been listed among the "doubtfuls."
Reynolds made known his stand
during a three-hour -blistering attack
on the pending measure, which he
labeled as an attempt to pay for Brit
ain's war at this country's expense.
His opposition came as a surprise,
since, as a member of the Senate For
eign Relations Committee, he voted
"with reservations" to report the bill
favorably to the Senate.
He was the first southern senator
to oppose the measure.
For the second time in as many
days, Administration forces were
thwarted in their efforts to obtain ac
tion on amendments when Reynolds
limited his speech to three hours in
stead of five as originally scheduled.
When Reynolds finished, no speak
ers were ready to continue debate and
the Senate was forced to turn to other
business.
Senate Democratic leader Alvin W.
Barkley, asserting that Reynolds ap
parently had. "suffered an unexpected
attack of brevity," complained that it
was "unfair to the Senate" to expect
it to quit after only one speech.

Mild Measles
Confine 42
Forty-two students or a little over
two-thirds of those in the infirmary
have mild cases of German measles,
Dr. W. R. BerryhilL head of the Uni
versity infirmary, announced yester
day. The wave of measles did not be
come noticeable 'until Wednesday when
several cases were admitted to the in
firmary. But yesterday there was such
a large increase in the number of
cases that two of the halls of the in
firmary are now being used to house
patients.
In order to prevent the further
spread of the measles wave, no one is
being permitted to visit the sick pa
tients. Dr. Berryhill stated that there
is no need for alarm since the few
cases reported do not indicate an epi
demic of the disease and the disease
is not dangerous even in its worst
form. That now found on the campus,
is of a very mild nature, officials ; of
the infirmary said.
The total number of students con
fined in the infirmary is 62 which is
an increase oi nearly 40 over the
average number usually in bed.
Reporter Seeks
Measles; Is Caught
The Daily Tar Heel yesterday un
covered "a mild epidemic of mild
cases of German measles" in the fol
lowing unusual way:
Billy Webb, ace Infirmary re
porter, rushed into the office expect
ing to create a sensation with his
scoop that students were filling the
Infirmary with measles germs.
The office already knew about it, but
dispatched the disillusioned Mr. Webb
out for the storyanyhow.
In about ten minutes, the telephone
rang and Mr. Webb was on the other
end of the wire. "Well, what about
the measles epidemic," he was asked.
"It's terrible. , They just put me to
bed with it? Better get someone to
cover my beat for three days. . . ."

In Tight Game
Hal Spuhler Is
Constant Threat;
Scores 14 Points
By Leonard Lobretl
DURHAM, Feb. 20 Successfully
freezing the ball in the last two min
utes and allowing Carolina only two
points in the closing eight minutes
here tonight, Duke's Blue Devil cagers
ended the White Phantoms' winning
streak at 13 straight Southern con
ference victories and assured them
selves a place in the tournament a
week hence.
A free throw made by Chuck Hol
ley after George Glamack had fouled
out with 3:30 remaining and a pushin
basket sunk by Bill Mock on a fol-
Box score on page 3.
low-up were the points that tied the
score and then put Duke ahead to
stay. It was not easy for the Blue
Devils to freeze the ball, but they
did.
Duke became not only the first con
ference club to top Carolina in 14
starts but also the first team that led
the Phantoms at the half. Carolina
was always in the ball game, close to
the Dukes, but took the lead on only
three occasions, and then only by one
point. The last time was on a hook
shot by George Glamack just before
! ouled out, putting Carolina ahead
' -32.
V Handicapped by 3 Fouls
V, despite a handicap
, the second half of three
personal fouls, all registered in the
first period;was high scorer with 17
points. But Hal Spuhler, a junior who
has always played in-and-out ball, ac
counted for a good share of Duke's
points and wound up with a total of .
14. He and Bob Rothbaum, on other
occasions only second team perform
ers, overshadowed Bill Mock, and the
great Glenn Price did not play at alL
v Glamack surpassed the Southern
conference record for points scored in
a season 278 points by Jim Waller of
Wake Forest in 1939 by eight points.
After Bob Rose tied the count at
20-20 at the opening of , the second
period, Spuhler made a goal, Holley
a foul, Pessar a set shot, and Mock
two baskets in a row to raise the score
to 26-22, Duke's favor. Glamack made
a hook, Paul Severin a free throw,
and Jimmy Howard a set shot from
the corner to put Carolina ahead,
27-26, at 9:20.

to 29-26 at 11:40, but this advantage
