Each budget had to be voted on by at least half of the class it represented and a simple majority of that number approving made the budget official. In the senior class, only 11 students disapproved of the budget; out of 368 votes tabulated. Votes from town stu dents, fraternities and some of the women's dorms were not in l?Jte last night. The junior budget, returns on which were also incomplete late last night, was passed by a 274 to 8 vote. The sophomore budget was the only one which had not been voted on by enough students to "total half of the sophomore class. Only 273 were turned in last night and 363 are needed. Of those turned in, only 10 opposed the budget. The student council has urged that all members of any class who still have not turned in their votes should give them to a member of the Interdormi tory, Interfraternity, or Intertown councils or put jit under the door of the student government office in Gra ham Memorial. Freshmen will vote on their proposed budget next Thursday. Today Dean Roland Parker will speak to them in freshman chapel explaining the rela tive costs of group and individual pic tures in the Yackety-Yack and a vote will be taken to determine which will be 'used. Sunday th e f reshman finance committee will be announced and will meet Tuesday with the class president and treasurer and the student council advisory board on class finances. They will draw up the budget to be presented for a vote Thursday. Today is the first time in many years that a class budget has been approved on the first day of voting. Student council members attributed this to a more efficient system of distributing the proposed budgets. Paul Green Gives Lecture-Reading On 'Native Son' Paul Green will give a lecture-reading entitled "Native Son and the Trag edy of the Negro" sponsored by the department of dramatic art (nd held in the Playmakers Theatre ' Sunday night at 8:30. Collaborating with Richard Wright, outstanding contemporary Negro nov elist, Green dramatized Wright's best selling novel, "Native Son," in 1940. The play opened on Broadway hi March, 1941, produced and directed by Orson Welles. Since that time the play has had a continuous run in the North and Middle" West, and recently returned to New York for an extended showing. "The drama Paul Green has written from the novel provides a searching study of the personal frustration that race prejudice develops," said Brooks Atkinson, New York Times theater critic. "Not that 'Native Son' solves the Negro problem with its power alone, but it attacks it from a rational point of view with great understand ing." . Critics have praised the play and es pecially the acting of Canada Lee in the character of the delinquent youth, Bigger Thomas. After the reading an open forum will be held with questions and discussion from the audience. Everyone is invited and admission is free.

B Algeria, Morocco Fall; Petain Quits France; Mystery Surrounds Location of French Fleet NORTH AFRICA, Nov. 11 (UP) United States forces won full con trol of Algeria and Morocco today af ter a lightning 76-hour campaign when Admiral Jean Francois Darlan ordered the French to lay down their arms. The f ease-fire order was given simul taneously on this Armistice day . by Darlan, citing himself commander-in-chief of French forces in North Africa in American hands since the fall of Algiers and by Admiral Michelier, commander at Casablanca. Michelier's order ended resistance there, chief port of Morocco, and last point of resistance on the 1,300-mile battleline. The fall of Rabat, Morocco's capital, was re vealed earlier. Lieut. Gen. Dwight Eisenhower's headquarters said fighting ceased at 7 a.m. (3 a.m. EDT) when Admiral Michelier capitulated and American troops poured into Casablanca.

Changes in program, name and meeting place were made at the meet ing of the Carolina chest committee yesterday. Sound and. Fury representatives at the session offered the services of their organization for a benefit performance. They also suggested a novel program idea. N If adopted, the plan will call for a three-part entertainment slate Thursday, November 26, Thanksgiving Day. The first event would be the Sound and Fury show at 4:30. The second, a dance, would start at 7:30 o'clock. The third section of the entertainment has not yet been definitely set. Before November 26 tickets will be sold in blocks of three for all the events Thurs day at a reduced price, as well as at the box office. The committee decided to label the $10,000 drive, first concerted Carolina relief effort, the Campus War Chest. This move was taken to differentiate it from any municipal community chest campaigns. The three main or ganizations to share the $10,000 will be the World Student Service fund, Red Cross, and U.S.O. The WSSF will receive 60 per cent of the money, Red Cross and U.S.O. 10 per cent each, with 20 per cent earmarked to remain in a pool to provide for any future fund not anticipated by present appropria tions. An expected turnout of 200 stu dents has made the use of the Grail room in Graham Memorial for tomor row's chest meeting impossible, so the committee decided to hold it in the ban quet room of Graham Memorial. Mem bers of all sub-committees must attend to get final instructions before the opening of the drive Sunday.

Not since the day after Pearl Har bor has there been such a flow of ru mors stemming from the German march in France and Darlan's orders to French African forces to cease hos tilities. The mystery deepened when Cordell Hull rushed to the White House twice within three hours to confer with Pres ident Roosevelt and it was to the White House that officialdom looked for an announcement to the biggest question of all where is the French fleet?

Ousted from Caldwell hall studio last May by the arrival of the Navy, the radio division sought a new loca tion for five months and was finally rewarded two weeks ago with space in Peabody hall. Detailed plans for the conversion of Peabody classrooms into new campus studios were before the business de partment of. the university for ap proval this week as "the" new blow fell. A War Production Board ruling passed this week requires that plans for any new construction or any build ing alterations to cost over $200 must be submitted to the board in Washing ton for specific approval before work is undertaken. The University cannot act until ap proval is given by the War Produc tions board," said Dr. Ralph MacDon ald, head of the radio dWision yester day. He stated that following approval of the plans by the University's busi ness department, L. B. Rogerson, business manager, will prepare a re quest to be submitted to WPB. "Despite these difficulties we have" not lost hope, particularly in view of the relationship between radio and the war effort," MacDonald said.

Night-Blooming Cereus Has One Hour Show In Campus Greenhouse The night-blooming cereus had its brief hour of glory from 9 to 10 p. m., last Thursday night in the university greenhouse. Only witness to the blos soming of the cereus which blooms for just one hour each year was Mallie Jones, Negro gardener. "The flower remained open for about ten minutes," he said.

"China's allies have promised her tanks, planes, supplies that are neces sary to carry on the war. These sup plies are being diverted to India and the South Sea but China has not let down her allies for a single moment. Regardless of whether or not allied aid reaches China soon, she will con tinue to resist Japan and will event ually drive the Japanese army into the sea." ' It was Dr. Sun Yat-Sen, founder and first president of the Republic of China, who formulated the philosophy that has enabled the Chines to main tain such a firm resistance for the past five and a half years, Cheng said. Dr. Sun wanted his people to be conscious of problems that confront the people of our time. China's philos ophy is based on the theory that "to know is to act." Dr. Sun realized that until Chinese people had completed knowledge they could not act with any degree of success. To know, said Cheng, is difficult," but to act is easy." The aim of Dr. Sun's philosophy, continued Cheng, is to bring his peo ple to the realization that there are problems which must be faced. Cheng, former professor at Han chow university and Nanking univer sity, is studying at Carolina for his PhD. He is the author of "The His tory of Chinese Social Thought" and "Introduction to Christian Litera ture." McCain to Speak On Tuberculosis Dr. P. P.
