To ' Watchdog'
Russians Lose Vote
On Balkan Question
Lake Success, N. Y., May 22 (UP)
The United Nations gave the green
light to its current Balkan watchdog
tonight to use' its own discretion in
looking into trouble spots.
The Security council beat down a
Russian resolution that would have
restricted the activities of the sub
commission now stationed in the area.
Controversy Not Closed
Soviet Delegate Andrei Gromyko
immediately announced that the con
troversy over the subcommission's
powers is not closed. He says he will
bring up the issue again when the
Security council debates the full com
mission report on Balkan border inci
dents. U. S. Delegate Herschel Johnson
countered by criticizing delegates who
challenge decisions they find "incon-
tudent Legislature Chooses . . Delegates To NSO
Play
makers' 'Macbeth' To Open Tonig
venient."
The cause of the entire argument
is the United Nations Balkan com
mission, which is at work in Geneva
drawing up a report of conflicts along
the borders of Greece, Yugoslavia,
Albania, and Bulgaria.

organizations clear up their accounts
with the annual as early as possible.

soon and accounts must be closed
prior to the end of the quarter.
First Buccaneer, then Tar and
Feathers, and now Tarnation.
That, says Humor Mag Editor
Tookie Hodgson, will be the title
of the new campus publication,
chosen yesterday from a "shoe-box-full"
of entries.
"Tarnation" was submitted by
Special Student J. L. Hall of 510
North Street. A committee includ
ing Hodgson, DTH Editor Barron
Mills, Yack Editor Gene Johnstone,
and Peter Gems, selected it as top
entry.
Tarnation rates one of the short
est definitions in Webster's Un
abridged dictionary. It is, Webster
says, simply "euphemistic for
damnation."
Hodgson agrees.

Newest Solons
Take Control
Of Assembly
Clampitt, Miller,
Baker to Go to NSO
By Bookie Jabine
The old gave way to the new last
night as the recently-elected Student
Legislature was seated and duly
sworn in after the 1946-47 vintage of
lawmakers had finished discussion of
the National Students Organization,
After adopting the report of Johnny
Clampitt's NSO committee, which in
effect instructs UNC delegates to the
next meeting of the NSO, the assem
bly overwhelmingly named Bill Mill
er, Herman Baker, and Clampitt as
representatives. These men will go to
Madison, Wisconsin, in the fall.
The instructions which the dele
gates will follow embody two main
points: (1) They will oppose the in
clusion of any religious, political or
other groups on the governing bodies
of the NSO, (2) They will discuss
the race question sensibly, remember
ing that they represent a southern
university.
With the completion of the NSO
affair, the 1946-47 assembly had finish
ed for the year. One final motion was
passed, however, to appropriate funds
to present the retiring speaker, Charlie
Warren, with a key.
Warren then rang down the gavel
and declared the body adjourned. No
sooner had he ended one meeting,
however, than he opened another,
bringing the. first session of the 1947
48 assembly to order.
After swearing in Jack Folger as
new speaker, Warren addressed the
Legislature, reviewing the chief work
accomplished by their predecessors.
He pointed out that , the retiring
solons had "often been too slow in
responding to campus conditions."
But he commended the outgoing
group by enumerating the vast amount
of work which was done.
Warren concluded by saying, "I
can't help but feel that the outlook
is bright if we all pull together. I
predict that an unprecedented year
for student government lies ahead."
Following Warren's words, Student
Body President Tom Eller spoke
briefly. He warned the new lawmak
ers not to make mistakes, "of which
I've been guilty."
He urged them to exercise maturity,
decorum, and training while carrying
out their duties.
Eller also named his committee ap- .
pointments for the coming year but
an atempt to suspend the rules to
consider the names last night was de
feated, and a special session has been
called by Folger for "early next
week."
PARTY PICNIC
The Student Party will have a pic
nic this evening at Sparrow's Pool.
All members of the party and their
friends who expect to attend the af
fair are asked to meet at 6 p.m. in
front of Graham Memorial.
