considered bef ore adjournment Thurs

Shepard, after he and J. A. Williams,
University legal adviser, had made
inquiries' through the regional Veter
ans administration office in Winston

ed the Richmond branch, where checks
are mailed from, and found that the
holdup of subsistence payments was
due to deficiency of appropriations
by the federal government.
However, the Richmond office point
ed out that on July 2 a bill was pass

the situation.
Shepard said the Winston-Salem
office told him the checks should be on
their way in a day or two, and pos

beginning of next week.

lar session to discuss the bill passed
by the North Carolina General As
sembly to outlaw the Communist
party in the state. Prof. Paul W.
Wager of the Political Science de
partment opened the discussion and
cautioned the assembly to consider
the possibilities of prosecution of any
liberal in the future under the guise
of being a Communist.
Members of the society joined in
the discussion and a heated debate
took place on the floor. The resolu
tion to go on record as favoring the
legislature's action was accepted by
a vote of 8-6.

Di Open Forum
Set Wednesday
The Dialectic Literary society will
present a forum cn world government
next Wednesday night at 9 o'clock,
president Pro-Tem John M. Zucker
has announced. The forum will be held
in the Di senate on the third floor of
New, West, and will be made up of a
number of outstanding speakers.
While the list has not as yet been
completed, jt will include Professor
Henry Brandis, Jr. of the law school;
Dr." Joseph W. Straley of the physics
department; and Harold Bock, a spec
ial student at the University.
Prof. Brandis is well qualified to
speak on world government, being
president of the local town and faculty,
chapter of United World Federalists
and very active in the world govern
ment. He has spoken out for world
government on numerous occasions, '
and much of the gtowth of the world
government movement at the Uni
versity and in this section of the
state is attributed to his tireless ef
fort. Dr. Straley, as most scientists, is
probably world government's most ar
dent advocate at the University. Be
ing a physicist, he is more aware than
most of the truly great danger of the
atomic bomb.
Harold Bock has long been active in
the world government movement. Be
fore coming to the University, he was
a leader ,in the world government
movement at Northwestern University.
Filer Founds
Second HPB
President of the Student Body Tom
Eller has issued instructions for the
reconstitution of the much .talked
about House Privileges board. He has
taken this action in order to comply
with the student constitution.
In a letter to the Speaker of the
Coed senate, Barbara Cashion, and
the chairman of the Interfraternity
council, Leon Todd, he made the fol
lowing suggestions as to how the
Board might form its policy:
"(1) The old system of 'flying
squadrons' ' and 'spot checks' is not
in the spirit of our honor system and,
should no longer be practiced;
"(2) . . . the HPB is nothing more
than a rule-making body and should
leave all questions of trials, etc., to
the appropriate councils;
"(3) The Legislature should re
view its agreement with the admin
istration before it is adopted."
President Eller expressed hope
that the board would adopt the exist
ing agreement between the Interfra
ternity council and the administration.
This agreement runs until August 29,
1947. , L
The new. House Privileges board
will be composed as . follows: the
executive committee of the Interfra
ternity council, the speaker of the
Coed senate and three coeds appoint
ed by her, and one . representative
from the Women's council.
The HPB will meet in the near
future at which time a chairman will
be elected. 'r
S&F Rehearsals Begin
For Weep No More'
Sound and Fury's summer pro
duction, "Weep No More", goes into
production this coming Monday with
tentative playing dates set for the
18th and 19th of this month.
Exactly what the production will
consist of has not been announced,
but the leakage coming from early
meetings seems to point to a part
minstrel, part vaudeville with a re
ported bit of Chaucer being thrown
in for good measure. The outcome
should be worth seeing.
Although the cast of the show has
been almost completed, several spots
still remain open in the acting, techni
cal, and business end of the organiza
tion. Any interested persons should
contact President Billy Carmichael
at the Daily Tar Heel office or drop
by the rehearsals, the majority of
which will be held in Memorial Hall.

Stoddard Calls UNESCO Key
To Maintaining World Peace
Maintenance of world peace will de
pend in large measure upon the suc
cess of the newest member of the
United Nations family, the UN Edu
cational Scientific, arid Cultural Or
ganization. That's what Dr. George
D. Stoddard, president of the Uni
versity of Illinois and chairman of the
United States Education commission
which last year studied Japanese edu
cational problems, told a general con
vocation of the University in Me
morial hall jsterday.
Speaking on "East and West in
Education," Dr. Stoddard said, "The
past of Nagasaki is the future of
every city in the world, unless within
the lifetime of students in college to
day we can make of the United Na
tions what those two words mean in
plain English.
Lack of Time
"The greatest danger to education,
east or west, is that we shall not
have enough time. Hitherto war has
been a slow fire, even when declared;
now it is sudden, universal and com
pletely destructive," the Illinois edu
cator asserted.
"If we really had books, teachers
and the mass media of education,
freely available over the world, we
should indeed lessen the danger of
war," he continued.
Success of the UNESCO program
depends in large measure on its recep
tion by the children and teachers of
the former Axis nations, and the re
sponse to American education me
thods in Japan to date is very en
couraging, President Stoddard said.
He quoted a report by Mrs. Eliza
beth Gray Vining, formerly of Chapel
Hill, who since last fall has beSn tu
tor for Crown Prince Akihito, the
empress, and peers and peeresses, and
who found "a sincere desire to under
stand and an earnest effort to com
municate the true meaning of that
much-used word democracv7,
Chancellor Robert B. House pre
sided over the convocation, and Presi
dent Frank P, Graham introduced
Dr. Stoddard.
