Cut By Truman
President Seeking
To Balance Budget
Washington, Jan. 17 (UP)
President Truman has done more than
a billion dollars worth of financial re
couping in his drive for a balanced
budget. The White House announces
that the President has put his fing
er on one-billion, 400-million dollars
in various appropriation for govern
ment agencies and lend-lease which
were not spent.
Wants Bookkeeping
He wants Congress to approve a
bookkeeping transaction that would
put these funds back into the federal
treasury and help him get a balanced
budget for the next fiscal year. In
fact, says the President, without these
reclaimed funds, the budget-balancing
job can't be done.

Are Revealed to Public
Washington, Jan. 17 (UP) The
final texts of the first peace treaties
of World War Two have been made
public. These are the treaties for
Italy, Romania, Bulgaria; Hungary

Retiring Secretary of State James

Monday. But Byrnes, who worked 15
months in the treaty negotiations, will
sign only four of the treaties because
the United States was not at War
with Finland.
The formal signing ceremonies will
take place in Paris on February 10th
with Representatives of the five for
mer enemy countries present. The
texts contain no new material from
that previously reported during the

stands only four feet, eight inches

and for the five years preceding the
war gave a total of 300 concerts on
five transcontinental tours. .
During the war, her voice which
critics have called "flute-like" was
heard in camps and hospitals by men
and women for the armed services.
Must Be Heard
Serge Koussevitsky, the venerable
leader of the Boston Symphony, dis
covered Miss Maynor's rare voice, and
proclaimed to the music loving world

magnificent that it must be ranked

Hill's Heresy
Bowl Movies Expose
Mistake by Official
By Earl Heffner
. All .that is sweet is not Sugar. In
the Alpine atmosphere of Memorial
hall balcony, the bittersweet of this
lesson was administered by a movie
projector to those unfortunate ones
who brought their opera glasses.
For those not equipped with glasses
and oxygen masks, the "Great Sugar
Bowl Robbery of 1947," like other
thefts of history, remains second
hand information. For Hollywoodian
patrons of the New Orleans classic
(i.e., students attending last night's
miniature) close to the screen, con
clusive evidence was seen that Gabe
Hill defied Justice and surplanted
Jesse James, Bad Bascomb, Pretty
Boy Floyd, et al, as public enemy
No. 1.
Drop the Handkerchief?
Advanced notices proclaimed that
pictures of the New Year's classic
were to be shown last night. Pictures
were shown much to the confusion of
patrons who came away wondering
whether they had seen Hill's Heresy
of 1947, a basketball game, or a solo
"drop-the-handkerchief" by the myo
pic official.
The annals of Sugar Bowl history
will reverberate with the story of the
infamous forward-lateral, a fallacy of
contradictory prenfisse. Less famous,
yet equally widespread , will be the

' A new Department of Radio was voted into existence yesterday
afternoon ty the close decision of 53 to 45 votes of the faculty at
a' meeting held in Howell hall.Earl Wynn, now director of the
Communications Center will be head of the department.
The department will offer training
m program planning, writing and
production, and a degree in radio will
be available to students starting in
September 1947.
Began in 1940
Radio broadcasting began at the
University as long ago as 1940 and
most of the courses to come under the
new department are already being
taught in connection with the depart
ments of dramatic arts, journalism
and physics.
Communications Center director
Wynn in his speech to the faculty
yesterday advocating creation of the
department gave as its three main
purposes: j
1. to supply the demand of students
for training in the field of radio.
2. to supply a control for the grow
th of radio on the campus.
. 3. to supply the demand of radio
stations for adequately trained personnel.
.Radio is a young, powerful, hun
gry, giant medium," Wynn said, "and
it is our purpose to supply it with in
telligent, well trained, educated uni
versity men and women well grounded
in the liberal arts.
Required Courses
In order to put this plan into effect
it was deemed advisable to place cer
tain limitations on students going into
that students will receive training
through actual broadcasts which they
will plan, write and produce through
the facilities of the communications
center.
Communications center officials
hope that eventually a broadcast sta
tion will be established here at the
University, and four studios are now
under construction at the center
which, when finished will be the best
equipped station in North Carolina,

For a long time students have
been voicing the need for a place
close to the campus where they
could take a date to spend an even
ing dancing, having a few cokes,
maybe just sitting around talking
and not have it cost them from
five to ten dollars.
With the opening of the Univer
sity Veterans' club Friday night
many of those students found ex
actly the place they had been ask
ing for.
Located directly on the campus
the veterans' club is open every
night of the week from 6:30 un
til the prevailing co-ed curfew hour.
Fortunately, also, it is available
to the majority of the student body,
as the only admission price or co
ver charge is a membership card
in the UVA and over two-thirds
of the students as veterans are
eligible for membership.
Excellent Dance Floor
Inside the club is an excellent
dance floor and good music at a low
price from the nickleodeon. Ar
ranged around the dance floor are
white-clothed tables for time-outs
between dances. At the bar are ava
ilable cold drinks, sandwiches, ice
cream and cigarettes.
At one end of the club soft cush
ioned divans and chairs are arrang
ed into a lounge for quiet conver
sations. The only draw back that some
students will see in the club is the
rule . of "no . beer." .Only soft drinks
are sold, and all members must be
have themselves in-an orderly man
ner while in' the club.
