X -V4hm1'Wm Ambassador Ha Shih Latest development in Carolina's ci vilian morale movement came late yes terday afternoon as administrative leaders indicated an ever-increasing downpour of volunteer support from faculty members, new progress in or ganization, the starting motions of the highly-publicized machinery. From Dean F. F. Bradshaw, as fac ulty chief of the defense committee, came, assurances that suggestions and aid from the academic faction are now realities, with possibilities for further cooperation unlimited. Coordinating The mammoth job of coordinating and organizing, dropped in the lap of I Extension director Russell M.

OllIlCll JTlCKS the many-pronged project; the director has dealt with every department, coun seling, weighing ideas. With success apparently hinging on, the extent of close tie-ups, every effort has been made to "do a good job of knitting this movement together." Still in the shadows was the reported student entrance into the program which has rocked through the stata press since its dramatic announcement, on "the heels of Presidential push, came just three days ago. Morale heads, al though no statement is forthcoming, appear to be assured of student action at any time. It was understood, through South building channels, that the pres ent undergraduate lull is preceding a storm which will probably break today or tomorrow. The holdup, according to these sources, is being caused by a final check on a streamlined program, and a search for competent, personnel to man the extensive project. -S IRC Notifies High Schools Bradshaw,Foushee Named Civilian Defense Chairmen Preliminary steps in the strengthen ing of the civilian defense effort in Debate Squad Team Will Enter Dixie Tournament Debate council president Carrington Gretter yesterday turned over to the Daily Tar Heel the list of winners in Debate squad tryouts for Dixie Foren sic tournament at Rock Hill, December 3 to 6. Winners are Miss Elsie Lyon, Mac Sherman, Miss Delia Murdoch and Cec il Hill. Council executives and faculty members chose the four students after heated discussion late Tuesday night. Selected from nine who tried out, the winners will travel to Rock Hill on council funds. Lyon and Sherman took affirmative stands and Murdoch and Hill spoke for the negative on the top ic, Resolved: that the federal govern ment should regulate by law all labor unions. The same subject will be de bated at the tournament, in which nearly every southern college will be represented - Charlie J ohnson, i Mac MacLendon, Dick Railley, D. H. Car lisle and Roscoe Barber were among those trying out. Miss .Murdoch's participation was His Excellency Dr. Hu Shih, Chinese Ambassador, ' yesterday wired Roger Mann, International Relations club president, that he is forced to cancel tonight's address. In a later personal telephone conver sation with Mann, the Ambassador ex plained necessity for his remaining in Washington for the Japanese-American conferences, biggest thing going on in the nation's capital today. After receipt of the telegram, IRC officials showed intense concern for the fate of several hundred, perhaps sever al thousand, high school students pre paring this morning to journey to Chapel Hill on special invitation from the IRC. 7 Satterfield Band to Play -In Gerrard Hall The junior class convenes today in Memorial hall at 10:30 to consider the 1941-42 budget and President Sam Gambill requested that the entire class be present so that a second meeting will not be necessary. Featuring the program today will be music supplied by Johnny Satterfield and his orchestra, hired especially. for the occasion. Approximately 340 affirmative votes will be needed to pass the budget, Pres ident Gambill estimated. Voting will be made by a show of hands. Not a great deal of. difficulty was anticipated in passing the measure which was approv ed yesterday by the executive committee. Class Entertainment On the new budget other than usual The IRC made arrangements with class expenses has been included an the University News Bureau to wire, item of $200.00 for class entertainment notices to all newspapers in key local ities in an effort to prevent students representing 100 North Carolina high schools from traveling here in vain. Morning newspapers in Winston-Salem, Sanford, Durham, Raleigh and Greensboro today carried notices of the cancellation. Mr. R. W. Madry, of the news bureau, expressed his conviction that all high schools would learn of the cancellation through the newspaper an nouncements. . "This is my most important work since I became Ambassador,!.' Hu Shih told Mann by telephone, "and it will be of utmost necessity for me tostay in Washington." His Excellency reportedly gave the IRC a verbal rain check for his speech, but no definite date could be set for the occasion. It is not yet known wheth er the Chinese envoy will speak before IRC's next scheduled address. Text of the cancellation wire f ol lows: "After very great hesitation i (including a party for the juniors fol lowing the junior-senior dance. Furth er entertainment details will be worked out by the entertainment committee. $1500.00 has been granted for the junior-senior dance with the balance to i be paid for by the seniors. Also includ ed in the budget is $50.00 to help pro mote Honor Week, annually sponsored by the student council at the end of the fall quarter.

Old Classic The classic has been a continual big drawing attraction throughout its 13 yearexistence as it is 60 minutes of fast action and unexpected thrills. Contrary to the general belief that spectator's life insurance is void upon entering and that pits are dug for the dead, both teams play a clean brand of fast moving ball. One of the Revolving Stage In New Drama The Carolina Playmakers, upsetting precedent and defying tradition, have reversed the established procedure in their production of "Abe Lincoln in Illinois," have constructed the stage after choosing a play, cast the charac ters, and started the rehearsals. Designed by Lynn Gault and ex ecuted by him with the help of Robert Schenkkan, the revolving stage will be an innovation in Playmaker tech niques. The idea of a revolving stage has been in the minds of the technical advisers for quite some time, but has never before been a tempted in a Car olina production. The stage, which is to be twenty by thirty feet, has been built on rollers so that while one set is being used ' on the stage the other can be set up behind the scenes. It is estimated that through the use of the revolving stage thirty-five minutes of actual produc tion time may be saved in scene chang ing. A second unique feature is to be a large tent which is to be set up in the rear of the Playmaker theater to house furniture, properties, and scen ery that 'are not in use. Due to the great number of scenes in this pre sentation, the tent is necessary. of Professor J. G. Evans stat- night in 'the second' lecture of the "Restoring Order" series, that through this integration and federal charters, we can give management adequate control responsibility to the public. Suggested Program Evans' suggested program includes reduction of inequality in wealth and income through equalizing individual opportunities" and : through taxation and the achieving" of greater stability and efficiency in the economic system through federal charters and the co ordination of industries. The Department "of Philosophy is sponsoring this series of public meet ings in conjunction with the Univer sity Committee on National Defense's request that each department contri bute something to the national de fense program. A new phase of the See EVANS ADVOCATES, page Reduction Will Affect Jobs of 75 Students Slash to Become Effective January 10; Self -Help Office to Take 28 Reduction By Paul Komisaruk Nation-wide budget slashes totaling $2,366,264 effective Janu ary 10 will cut the University's budget $8,300 and will necessitate the dropping of 75 students from the self-help list, it was learned yesterday from South building. Informed last Wednesday of the 19 per cent cut into the $41,580 appropriation that the Uni- versity received at the beginning of the school year, self-help of f icials made desperate efforts to find some solution, and admitted yesterday that there was little hope that the 75 students might be turned into other positions. 300 Students Now Employed A total of 300 students are now hold ing NYA self-help positions, E. S. Lan ier, director disclosed, and of these 75 will have to be dropped from the lists by January 10. Lanier admitted that j South building was in a quandary as to how the cut would be made. The University NYA offices are fac ed with a more serious problem than the 19 per cent decrease. Since the opening of the school year they have been operating on their regular budget. With the current slash, it will be nec essary to take a 28 per cent reduction in order to make up for the first three months of spending. Lanier explained that all students now receiving NYA self-help aid would be informed of the necessary cut and hinted that they would be voluntarily asked to give up their positions if "it is at all possible." After that, he said, "we don't know yet, but expect that some students will volunteer to give up positions that they now hold." Students defraying expenses at the University are doing so by means of scholarships, loans, University or NYA jobsand off -campus positions, Lanier pointed out. He continued that the Uni versity has no control over off -campus jobs. Scholarships have already been given out for the academic year, many ! of the students can not obtain the nec essary signatures to arrange a loan, and University jobs were stacked "to the See NYA SLASH, page 4 Jean Hahn Goeds to Hold Nominations Senate, Council Posts Vacant Nominations for two junior coed rep resentatives to the Senate and two rep resentatives to the honor council will be held tomorrow at 1:30 in Garrard hall at the regular Senate meeting, Jean Hahn, speaker of the Senate, an nounced last night.
