reckless driving in the area that con-
not aply to those coeds elected to of

"Glory That Was Greece"
Hatch Address to Be First
Since Return from Europe
in his first public address since returning from the Mediter
ranean area, Senator Carl A. Hatch will give a first-hand account
next Thursday, to the campus on his recent visit to Greece and
Turkey. Hatch's visit to the University is sponsored by the Inter
national Relations club.
Xiatcn, wno was a meiuuer uu cue
congressional delegation to the Intra-
Parlimentary Union conference in
Cairo, stated upon his arrival in this
country that his trip had strongly
confirmed his "previous conviction that
the (Greek-Turkey) loan is an abso
lute necessity." He feels that Greece
and Turkey rely on the United States
as the only nation that could help
assure their freedom. ,
Hatch, has - shown leadership in
moulding our bi-partisan foreign pol
icy. He ' has been characterized as a
"cautious New Dealer" and "an ard
ent internationalist".
In 1943 Hatch joined with Re
publican Senators Joseph Bell and
Harold Burton and fellow Democrat
Senator Lister Hill to introduce what
is popularly known as the B2H2 reso
lution; This called for a permanent
world organization with power to pro
tect member nations by means of an
international armed force. This bill is
generally considered as instrumental
in the establishment of the United Nations.

president of the Woman's Interdormi
tory councils, the speakership of the
Coed Senate, and the editorships,
managing editorships, and the posi
tion of business manager for any of
the major campus publications are
each awarded 14 points. Other offices
are awarded points in descending
value.
The Coed Senate also passed a bill
which changes the closing hours of
coed dormitories from 1 o'clock on Fri
day and Saturday nights to midnight
during the summer sessions. Dormi
tories will still close at 11 o'clock dur
ing the week. Graduate closing hours
will be shortened one hour during the
week, graduate students also being
required to come in at 11 o'clock rath
er than their accustomed 12 o'clock.
This legislation of the Senate was
made at the request of infirmary of
ficials who stressed that the schedule
of summer school requires earlier
closing hours as a health protection
measure.
Kit Coleman, treasurer of the Wo
man's Athletic association, outlined
to the Coed Senate a program of ex
pansion for the WAA. Her request
for $400 from the Senate to aid in the
expansion program was left to be de

noted author and lecturer, will be
guest speaker. Tickets are $2.00
apiece.
The senior banquet is one of the
events scheduled on the gala three
day senior week program next
Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.
"It will give all of our graduat
ing seniors their last chance to get
together," said Palmer, "but the
Inn must be notified as to how
many guests to expect and if we
do not sell at least 200 tickets
today, we will have no alternative
but to cancel the banquet."

Move to Help
In Emergency
University Officials
Reacting Favorably
By Ben Rouzie
A proposal for temporary
credit on meal tickets at Lenoir
hall until GI subsistence checks
arrive was advanced yesterday
by the American Veterans com
mittee and taken under' consi
deration by University officials.
Simultaneously, AVC began nego
tiating for loans to its student mem
bers from the Orange County Credit
union, in which the chapter ha3 de
posited funds.
The AVC meal-ticket plan, to be
a strictly temporary measure, would
provide meal tickets to veterans only.
Tickets now in use at Lenoir would
be issued on identification and charg
ed to students' accounts in the Uni
versity Accounting office.
Favorable
The plan was reported receiving
favorable consideration by University
officials last night. Full details will
be released when and if the plan is
approved. '
-L. H. Gooch, manager of Lenoir
hall, said yetserdajr that the plan
seems feasible and "probably will
offer no problems that can't be han
dled by the available staff." Other of
ficials emphasized that "the Univer
sity will see to it that no veterans
go hungry" during the current emer
gency. F. Carlisle Shepard, veterans' ad
viser, announced that any veteran
faced by real hardship should con
sult him in his office on the second
floor of South building.
Student Union Bingo

The free bingo party at Graham
lemorial this evening from 8:30
until 11 in the main lounge will not

ing awarded game winners.
Bob Coulter, producer of the two
movies mentioned yesterday, announc
ed that he will start work with Mar
tha Rice, GM director, on a "Pre
miere Night' for two other Carolina
made movies as well as the two orig
inally scheduled for the bingo patty.
The showing will be held at an earlj

Esky for the Coeds
Humor Mag Candidates Plan
To Publish Esquire Takeoff
"Esky will be on campus," stated humor-mag co-editorship can
didates Eddie Allen and Jud Kinberg yesterday. .
The two DTH-Carolina Magazine writers, who are running for
the newly-created editorship, explained that they have contacted
Esquire magazine representatives and that the national publi
cation has already tentatively"
agreed to aid them in publishing a
take-off on Esquire. This special issue
would be the first humor magazine
of the year if the two men are elected.
Although full details must await
a trip to New York City, Allen and
Kinberg plan to use plates and car
toons from Esquire to give the bur
lesque issue the closest possible make
up resemblance to the national pub
lication. "Of course, the writing and
most illustrations would be by campus
authors and artists, but we feel that
the idea and counsel from Esquire
men will make certain an outstand
ing humor issue to start off the maga
zine and the year," stated the co
editorship candidates. -
A number of . universities, notably J
Yale with its New York Daily News
takeoff, have adopted this technique
recently with great success. Use of
the Esquire motif for the one issue
of the UNC magazine would cor
relate closely with campus interests,
since the national publication places
strong emphasis on collegiate topics.
Completion of all details would take
many days work with the Esquire
staff and the two candidates plan to
spend a number of weeks in New
York this summer to do this. The
cover, many, inside pages and possibly
even type would closely reseialla
Esquire magazine. Takeoff s would in
clude Eskys On The Town," clothes
section, cartoon pages and leggy il
lustrations. .. .
