In New Program
Dormitory social rooms long a sub
ject of discussiou and debate by the
administration and student leaders
at last are approaching a reality.
Given new impetus by the recently
appointed Student Advisory Committee
under Charlie Nice and backed solidly
by administrative officials, the prob
lem has reduced itself to a matter of
dollars and cents.
The Student Advisory Committee
meeting yesterday with L. B. Rogerson,
Assistant Comptroller; J. S. Bennett,
Superintendent of Buildings; Roland
Parker, Assistant Dean of Students;
and Orville Campbell, -Editor of the
Dally Tar Heel, discussed the advis
ability of social rooms in every dorm
itory on the campus.
According to the present arrange
ment, any dormitory that wants a soc
ial room must raise $100. This sum
according to a report made by the Uni
versity purchasing department will
cover half the cost of furnishing a
social room. The other $100 required
will be given to the dormitory out of the
Daily Tar Heel social room fund and
the University, each giving $50.
The University will prepare a place
for the social room in the dormitory,
paint the walls, and render everything
free of charge except the furniture,
which must be purchased with the ap
proval of the purchasing department.
Any dormitory that is desirous of
having a social room should get in
touch with Charlie Nice, Chairman of
the Student advisory committee.

Tonight at 8
Double entertainment comes to the
Chapel Hill public tonight when the
Arthur Whittemore-Jack Lowe piano
team and Madame Elsie Houston, Lat
in American songstress perform in
Memorial hall at 8 o'clock.
With her great talent and training
with such masters as Lilli Lehmann
and Ninon Vail on, Madame Houston
comes as a top-flight night-club enter
tainer and concert artist. In Europe
she has appeared at the Bouef Surele
Toit, the Scherezade and the Casanova
famout Parisian night clubs and
has made many recordings. She re
cently concluded a seven-weeks en
gagement at New York's Rainbow
Room.
On the concert side of the ledger,
Madame Houston has sung with the
New York Philharmonic Symphony in
Carnegie Hall, at Lewisohn Stadium,
the Kansas City Philharmonic Orches-
ra, with Jose Iturbi and his Roches
ter Philharmonic Orchestra in a pro
gram which was broadcast on a coast-
to-coast radio hook-up, and most re
cently with the 'National Symphony
Orchestra, Washington, D. C.
Whittemore and .Lowe began their
two-piano worK several years ago
when vacationing together in Puerto
Rico. The idea grew, in their minds as
a worthwhile pursuit, after they had
been invited to give several recitals
in Puerto Rico, and a series of com
mercial radio-broadcasts. . Returning
here, they began concertizing through
out the United States.
Working in radio has played a
prominent part in their success. Not
only have they been featured artists
on the Blue Network of the National
Broadcasting Company, but they have
also presented a series of guest pro
grams from KDKA in Pittsburgh. In
cluded among their orchestral engage
ments are appearances with the Pitts-
ureh Little Symphony and the Ro

Dr. Zimmermann
Urges Worldwide
Help, Cooperation
International trade in the hands of
a few powerful corporations is like a
steam-roller rolling over the rights
and privileges of man, declared Pro
fessor E. W. Zimmermann last night in
a talk which concluded this quarter's
series of the public meetings discuss
ing "Restoring Order."
Zimmermann discussed international
trade as a social force and told how
it has been a disturbing agent in the
lives of natives in countries like Bra
zil, Puerto Rico, and Chile. We call
our trade transactions with Chile re
garding the copper mines internation
al trade, he explained, whereas in re
ality, it has been American money that
started the mines and maintained
them. This is not international trade,
Zimmermann concluded, but merely
pieces of North American trade spread
everywhere.
As a solution to the problem, Zim
mermann advocated international co
operation based on the "mutual un
derstanding of the weak and strong,
the rich and poor" and on the "mu
tual sacrifice" of these different
forces.
This series has been sponsored by
the Philosophy department, this quar
ter's aspect of the topic "Restoring
Order" being the economic problem,
"Rebuilding Material Foundations."
"Freedom and Organized Power," the
political aspect, will be discussed
throughout the next quarter, and the
moral phase, "Scepticism and Fanati
cism," is the topic of the spring quarter.

Voicing approval of the constitu
tional interpretation placing final au
thority for all measures with the leg
islature, the student legislature last
night gave the first official reaction
to the question of the relationship of
the student council to the student leg
islature.
Amid resolutions, debates, and side
track comments, the budgets of the
Debate council, the' Student union, and
the Student Entertainment committee
were passed at the last meeting of
the quarter.
The legislative stand, predicted to
cause a change in the ultimate author
ity of student self-government, was
taken as against the interpretation
that the Student council has unlimited
power of "judicial review" the power
to determine finally the powers of the
student legislature. Speaker Terry
Sanford, stressed the fact that "there
is no break at present" as he present
ed the most important; question to
come before the legislators this year.
Sanford stated that the definite in
terpretation by the legislators was
needed in his conferences with Dean
of Students F. F. Bradshaw and Stu
dent Body President Truman Hobbs
wherein a decision on "who has the
authority and power" is sought. Ulti
mate authority rests with the student
body, Sanford stated. -
The $1,764.50 budget of the Debate
council was passed unanimously by

Incomplete results of the initial student NYA drive revealed
yesterday that a total of 960 had been collected in the brief flur

Student leaders appeared confident that the $8,300 goal set
last week would be reached easily, perhaps even surpassed. They

Starts Today
New Procedure
Eliminates Lines
Wheels of complicated registration
machinery start moving this morning
as I. C. Griffin sends his enrollment
staff through an experimental plan
designed to clip lines and cut out clear
ance permits.
While plans went forward on ways
and means of completing the gigantic
task, South building attaches indicated
that registration will rise to a new
level as a result of Carolina's all-out
defense effort which brings students
here for special emergency training.
Courses in the Commerce school and
in the Chemistry department are ex
pected, according to sources in-the-know,
to bear the brunt of the rise.
- Yesterday morning sophomores and
freshmen met advisers to arrange ap
pointments for registering. Those ad
visees will continue enr o 1 1 m e n t
throughout the week.
Vital statistics: Students in the Col
lege of Arts and Sciences and those in
the Commerce school get appointment
cards beginning at 9 o'clock in Memor
ial hall. Administrations officials and
attaches of the business office stressed
importance of being clear of all debts
before attempting to register. Sche
dule blanks for courses to be offered
during the Winter quarter are now
available at the information desk in
South building.
Griffin said last night that "if stu
dents want to do away with long lines
for good, they will do well to cooperate
with the new system." Advisers and
deans, acquainted with lists of those
students owing money to any Univer
sity agency, will stop registrants who
have not been cleared.
Playmakers Select

contributors, representing an approx
imate eight per cent of the campus,
made in Tuesday night's opening cam
paign. Student contributions, tabulated yes
terday afternoon by Bernard Moser,
who suggested employing pledge cards,

three men's dorms, two women's
dorms, two fraternities and a sorori
ty, plus a small portion of the Town
Girls.

Aycock, Steel, and BVP led the way
in dormitory contributions. Steve
Peck, University Club president, ex
plained that a delay in receiving the
pledge cards had reduced the effec
tiveness of the opening night attempt
by his University Club members, con
ducting the dorm, fraternity and sor
ority collections. Together with dorm
managers he expressed confidence in
the remaining campaigns.
The women's dorms, Spencer and
Mclver, together with the men's fra
ternities, Phi Delta Theta, and Tau
Ensilon Phi were responsible for a
considerable portion of the first $960.
Phi Beta Pi represented the only sor
ority in the first collection.
Results Incomplete
Tabulators hastened to explain that
these results were by no means com
plete, and hinted that last nighfs

tonight and tomorrow might easily
