Bilbo Debate
Slackens Work
Of New Senate
Sides Border Along
North-South Lines
Washington, Jan. 3 (UP) After
six hours of debate, the Bilbo case
still is undecided. The Senate has re
cessed until noon tomorrow after hav
ing talked about nothing but Bilbo
all day and the same topic "will
start the Senate day tomorrow. The
Bilbo debate held up all other Sen
ate business, and only one new Sena
tor Baldwin of Conneticut was
sworn in.
Fight Grudge
The fight over admitting the man
from Mississippi into' the most ex
clusive club in the world is divided
not along party lines, but along
North-South lines. The Republicans
aided by some Northern Democrats
want to keep Bilbo out of the Senate
until the Rules Committee has had a
chance to check the validity of the
charges against him. But a band of
Southern Senators insist that he be
allowed to sit in the Senate now. And
they've managed to halt all other Sen
ate business by their defense of Bil
bo. -
The fight against the Mississippian,
stems from two sets of charges against
him. One has to do with his alleged
intimidation of Negroes in the Mis
sissippi elections, and the other with
his alleged corruption in the accept
ance of gifts from war contractors in
return for favors.

praised as an overwhelming- suc
cess by H, R. Ritchie, manager,
after the first day of operation
yesterday during which approximately
400 early arriving students received
books.
Ritchie estimated, on the basis of

collected all of his texts in three min
utes. Open Evenings Temporarily
Regular hours for the booketeria

First UNC Service Plant
Was Operated by Student
By A. A. Wilkinson
Before the completion of the first
electric generating plant in Chapel
Hill, in the summer of 1895, oil lamps
and tallow candles were the only
source of illumination at the univers
ity for one hundred years.
The instilatlon of electric lighting
here holds more interest for Charles
G. Yarborough of Glendale, Calif,
than for any other living person, for
it was he who was put in charge of
the generating plant. Yarborough,
who is the brother oi h. , &. i ar

came to him to operate the university's

Campus Marching Band
Considered Highlight
Of Sugar Bowl Classic
The elaborate half time show of the
Sugar Bowl classic in New Orleans
Wednesday was featured in part by
the appearance of the Carolina march
ing band, which presented a replica
of circus day as its portion of the pro
gram. A total of 80 pieces represented
Carolina on the field, and the perform
ance of the Tar Heel musicians was
considered one of the highlights of the
intermission show. Director Earl Slo
cum of the band expressed satisfaction
and pride in the showing of his group.
It marked the second trip for the
band this year, the musicians having
followed the Tar Heels to Knoxville
for the Tennessee skirmish.
The ,Tar Heel music organization
also took part in the pre-game show

sports association, marching in a

Small Salary
The young englneers's remunera
tion consisted of a small salary, a
room, and free tuition to any classes
he chose to attend. His immediate
superior was Professor J. W. Gore,
head of the physics department.
Since the hours were between 5
and 11 p.m. Yarborough recalls that
"it was probably the easiest job on the
campus. A handyman fired the wood-
burning boiler and carried out the
ashes. There were only 300 electric
bulbs to be fed by the generators.

Dorsey will have to file his com
plaint with the Orange County Court
before January 20. The date for court
appearance has not been set.
In its original complaint against
the Dorsey orchestra, the Grail pro
posed to file a $20,000 suit against
the band. The $11,000 suit, now for
mally lodged may be altered in a pos
sible final compromise before the
hearing.
Entire Band Failed to Come
Charlie Fulton, Delegata of the
Grail, explained that the original
agreement in the contract stated that
Dorsey was to bring a complete 38
piece orchestra for appearance. How
ever, at the dance only about half of
this number appeared, and the entire
string section was missing. Another
feature in the complaint stated that
the orchestra violated the concert
agreement in not playing the entire
two hours of the concert.
Of the total amount of damages the
Grail is claiming $5,000 for breach
of contract in regard to the number
of musicians appearing, an addition
al $5,000 for loss of profits due to
breach of contract, and $1,000 for
failure to give a full two-hour concert.
