Di Senate Stages Forum Here Open More than 50 persons attended the open forum on world govern ment held by the Dialectic senate Wednesday night.

Dr. Kottke, a member of the eco nomics department, spoke on the eco nomic problems related to world gov ernment. He said economic stability will not insure peace.

"Don't over-rate the U. N.", Mr. Erandis warned. "I do not say that we should scrap it; we must work through the U. N., but we must be realistic enough to see it as it is. The U. N. must be strengthened into a world government. I believe the only alternative is another world war." Next Wednesday night the Di will debate a resolution favoring world government. Visitors are urged to at tend and take part in the debate. CLASSES NEXT SATURDAY Classes will be held in all depart ments of the University next Sat urday, Guy B.

Phi Society Auto Lottery Is Suspended Sales of tickets by the , Philantro phic Literary society in a lottery with an automobile as its prize have been suspended for three days in accordance with a directive issued by Tom Eller, president of the student body, to Ro bert Morrison, Phi chairman. To raise funds to redecorate the Phi chamber and to restore its famous art collection, the lottery was started last week with approximately 87 tic kets already sold at a dollar each to students who chanced winning a 4-door Kaiser car. Action now before the Student Council to be heard Mon day evening will determine whether refunds must be made on these tickets or whether the lottery is to continue. Reasons for Suspension Eller gave several reasons for sus pending the lottery temporarily. "De spite the fact that the cause is a wor thy one," he said, "I believe the lot tery method to be incompatible with the spirit, tradition, and general best interests of the student body. In my opinion it would be a most detrimen tal precedent to set. "As far as I know, no authoriza tion was obtained for the program either from the student government or from the University administra tion. The funds are not being han dled through the Student Activities office. In addition, there is a section in the general statutes pertaining to the University which prohibits all forms of chance except under direct authorization from the president of the University. "Pending an announcement by the Student Council, I think it will be ex tremely lihwise for anyone to pur chase further tickets. I would like to discourage any other organizations which are now contemplating a sim ilar project of f und:raising." Student Legislature Passes Adjourns for Remainder of 11 Bills; Summer French Consul Will Speak At Bastille Day Banquet Here ! Mademoiselle Marcelle Campana, one of the first women ever to be ap pointed a French foreign service offi cer and at present consul for France at the French embassy in Washing ton, will be the principal speaker at the annual Bastille Day banquet to be UP Group to Meet The University Party steering committee will meet Tuesday evening in Roland Parker lounge No. 3, Gra ham Memorial. Committee meetings will be held at that time each week hereafter in hopes that better attend ance will be possible that at the aft ernoon sessions held so far this sum mer. All steering committee members are urged to attend Tuesday's meeting or to appoint a proxy for the even ing. ; AVC Asks for End Of Congress Group Members of the American veterans committee at last Tuesday's meeting voted to urge the abolishment of the house committee on un-American ac tivities as "an excellent economy measure." At the same time it was de cided to write President Truman re questing the appointment of an im partial committee to report on commu nist and facist activities in this coun try. . This action followed a report by chapter member Junius Scales, who pointed out that "the committee is in itself un-American in that it flaunts the civil rights of citizens, serves as a sounding board for the prejudices of its members, and has consistently overlooked the activities of ' fascist groups." Local Report From its local affairs committee the veterans heard a report on Local 304, United Public Workers of the C. I. O. which is at present seeking to organ ize University workers. According to Garnet McCoy, present aims of the union do not include a demand for wage increases but they do ask that present wages not be reduced. The nmion is also asking eight paid holi days per year in place of the present one, and two weeks paid vacation per year. Following McCoy's report the chapter went on record as endorsing the union's program. The ex-GI's made plans to aid negro veterans in Carrboro in filling out ap plications for their terminal leave pay and to furnish them information on GI insurance. A telegram protesting the new con gressional income tax bill as a "lop sided measure which relieves upper income brackets at the expense of the lower" was authorized. Record Enrollment Expected In Fall Term by Armstrong From 700 to 800 new high school graduates will help swell the fall en rollment at the University to 7,250, Director of Admissions Armstrong es timated yesterday. "The extent of time spent by stud ents in the state public school system was increased last year from 11 to 12," Armstrong explained. "Therefore the number of students coming straight from high school to the Uni versity this year will be, much larger than those entered last fall." Armstrong predicted the increased number of returning veterans enter ing next year will aid in boosting the new tota 1 over last year's record breaking average of 6900 students. "Only about 125 to 150 new out-of-state students will be admitted though," he continued, "as this is the first year that the new state quota law will govern the entering process." This new statute says that the num ber of new non-state students cannot exceed 10 per cent of the student body total. The admissions director pointed out that this does not apply to old stud ents, who were here before passage of the law, or to graduate school candi dates. "We expect several hundred of our old out-of-state students to return," Armstrong concluded, "and we think the number of women students will stay the same." CCUN Meets to Formulate Extensive Campus Program An extensive program for the Col Iegiate Council of the United Nations was planned at Wednesday night's meeting in Graham Memorial by the executive council and other campus leaders, with President Frank Gra ham acting in an advisory capacity. Chairman Lincoln Kan announced that next Wednesday night a combi nation rally and meeting for the en tire student body will be presented by CCUN in Hill Hall. An address by a prominent speaker will highlight the program, details of which will be announced in Wednesday's Daily Tar Heel. At last Wednesday's meeting, Dr. Graham stressed the importance of a positive and ambitious program for the CCUN on the campus as well as throughout the state, promising his aid and support with every means at his command. Tom Eller, student body president, also pledged his efforts in securing the cooperation of campus activities, adding that " this group has the greatest potential strength of any or ganization on the campus." The CCUN office is now located in the basement of Graham Memorial. Dr. Frank P. Graham, president of tyhe Greater University, is shown at an organization meeting of the Collegiate Council for United Na tions which made its appearance on campus last week. Meeting with State Director Lincoln' Kan, the group got down to work Wednesday night and formulated plans for the preview of the CCUN to the campus next Wednesday.

By Bob Sain After five sessions, totaling in all no more than five hours, the Student Legislature has clos ed for the summer after at its final meeting passing 11 bills Thursday night. Bills okayed by the student lawmakers were measures to: add $315 to the Yackety Yack budget; tighten construction of the campus budget; investigate "the composition and activities" of the Student Wel fare board; reduce the Men's Inter dormitory council and the Women's Interdormitory council to the status of . independent campus organizations having no connection with the legisla tive branch of student government; require reporting of all student ac tivities using student funds (Re porting will be required only after the winter and spring terms) ; to set up a legislative liasion committee with the Publications board; require reapportionment of legislators; au thorize proxies during the summer session of the legislature; forbid the suspension of rules to consider budget and money bills; authorize the serge-, ant-at-arms to act as a miscelleaneous disbursing officer, and stipulate that there be no changes in election Iaw3 within 13 days of spring elections. All bills save the one setting up the liaison committee for the publica tions board, were passed unanimously. , Eller Speaks Student Body President Tom Eller, in a message to the legislature, gave his approval, "with misgivings," to a bill passed last week authorizing the appropriation of $600 for dele gates to the National Student Organi zation convention in Madison, Wis consin, in September. Eller's message indicated that he did not believe the student body was getting its money's worth from such delegations. He sug gested that the legislature consider the reduction of the number of delega tes to similar meetings, thereby cut ting down the amount of expense money necessary. Legislators, said Speaker Jack Fol ger Thursday night in adjourning the body for the summer, must remain on call during the second term in case an emergency should arise. He ad vised legislators who would not be present during the second term to ap point proxies immediately and re port them to the clerk of the legis lature.
