Truman Resignation
Termed Fantastic
Lexington, Ky., Nov. .7 (UP) A
man should resign. The Lexington
Kentucky paper says tonight it will
take a poll on whether President Tru
Leader has mailed postcards to five
per cent of the registered voters of
Fayette County asking them whether
or not they believe Mr. Truman should
step down from the presidency in fa
vor of a Republican successor. The
paper says the results should be in by
late next week. The White House has
remained silent on the proposals that
Mr. Truman resign, but sources close
to the presidency say the idea is "fan
tastic" and that Mr. Truman has no
intention of resigning. When Repub
lican Leader Robert Taft was asked
about the proposal today, he smiled
and said: "The suggestion has some
merit, but I feel we should leave the
solution of that problem to the Demo
crats themselves."

Designer Ridicules Idea
Of Pushbutton Warfare
New York, Nov. 7 (UP) One of
the country's top designers of futuris
tic aircraft has pob-poohed the possi
bility of "push-button" warfare in the
near future. John Northrop, builder
of the "Flying Wing", and the Ram
pursuit ship, says the U. S. "has no
effective long range guided missiles
and is only in the preliminary devel
opment stage of short-range ones. It
will be two to five years," says Nor
throp, "before we have guided missiles
worthy of the name." The real work
of any war within the next decade,
Northrop feels, will fall to bombers
now built or being built.

By Athletic Director Fetzer

letic Association was at present do
ing its utmost to provide improved
v seating for . University students at
home football games, Athletic direc
tor R. A. Fetzer, speaking before the
Di Senate Thursday evening, stated,

seats than many students, he stated.
"I personally feel alumni should
have special privileges, and it is on

Athletic office was instructed that
5,000 students would be enrolled in
school for the fall term. According
ly 6,000 seats were set aside for stu--dent
sections at all games, leaving
a supposedly safe margin. However,
with fall enrollment .finally topping
6,800, the situation was thus fur
ther complicated.
For the Carolina-Duke game, to
be played here November 23, all
seats in the student section will be
renumbered to permit one additional
person per row, through shortening
space for each seat by one inch.
In reply to a query concerning the
possibility of placing all alumni on
the opposite side of the field from
the student section, to enable 20 to
20 yard-line seating for students,
Fetzer replied that such a plan has
not yet been considered, but that it
might be In the future.

Campaign Seeks
Dormitory Funds,
Salary Increases
By Darley Lochner
Student Party, members voted
unanimously yesterday after
noon to petition the General As
sembly of the State of ' North
Carolina, meeting in January,
for the payment of bonded in
debtedness on Lenoir Hall, the
appropriation of funds to con
clude the payment of promissory
notes on the new dormitories, and a
thirty per cent increase in faculty
salaries.
Party chairman Chuck Heath said
yesterday that the entire student body
Would be given an opportunity to sign
the petition. A campaign for signa
tures, sponsored by the Student Party,
will begin next Wednesday.
"We hope to have at least "3500 stu
dents sign this praiseworthy petition,"
Heath stated. He explained that food
prices in Lenoir Hall would be de
creased when the profits would no
longer be used to pay the mortgage
on the building. The same principle
applies to the new dormitories now
being constructed.
"Salary increases for teachers will
help the University to keep outstand
ing men here, narrow the difference
between salaries paid to faculty mem
bers at the University and men of
equal qualifications at other schools
and keep those men at the Univer
sity who are necessary if we are to
retain our high academic standard,"
Heath stated.

dent Party secretary replacing Betty
Ann Green, who resigned because of
other duties.

tion. Room Applications
