of Charles L. Wagner's produc
tion of Puccini's melodious mas
terpiece, Madame Butterfly.
The 43-year-old musical dra

singing actors.
The opera, although ot Italian
A makiVin
origin, concerns an aiucuwu
naval officer and his beautiful
Japanese wife and has been im

since it was first presented. It
features probably the most ta

Sour-Grapes Sam Beard, WPTF disc-jockey of Moonglow fame
will be in" his sarcastic seventh heaven here tonight when he take3
over as master of ceremonies for dapper Don English in the' Ren
dezvous Room at Graham Me
morial. ; -
Sammy will highlight a sports
rally to bolster interest in the
backsliding Tar . Heel football
squad. "This rally is designed
to give the general Carolina stu
dent a chance; to rub shoulders
with our hard working gridiron
greats and to sponsor mutual
feeling between all," said Don,
"we can't appreciate the prob-

"The whole football team will
be on hand as guests of honor
and will be informally inter
viewed by screwy-screwball

seemed quite enthused over the
fact that some people still be

set of new scenery and costumes
especially for Mr. Wagner's pro

have been roundly acclaimed
wherever the opera has played
as adding much physical beauty
to the charm of the program.
Tickets for this attraction and
four others to be presented this
winter will go on sale at Led-better-Pickard
and at the Play
maker offices in Swain Hall on
Friday. They will cost $6.50 for
the series.
Memorial hall will be the site
of the presentation and its small
seating capacity will make it
necessary to restrict the sale of
tickets somewhat, according to
Bill Carmichael, a member of
the sponsoring committee.
"I believe," said Jack Mc
Bride, chairman of the Student
Entertainment group which is
sponsoring the series, "that
'Madame Butterfly' is the finest
musical production ever to be
presented in this part of North
Carolina."

Western Carolina
Speaking for CCUN
Two CCUN officials returned
to Chapel Hill yesterday fol
lowing a two-day caravan across
Western North Carolina speak
ing in behalf of United Nations
and the Collegiate Council.
Travelling under sponsorship
of the Statesville Lions club,
CCUN State Director Lincoln
Kan and Charles MacRae, local
chapter official, appeared before
civic organizations in Statesville
and Boo'ne and addressed a stu
dent convocation at Appalachian
State Teachers college.
Adm. O. S. Colclough, judge
advocate general of the U. S.
Navy, was a member of the
Lions-sponsored cavalcade. Hugh
Mitchell, Statesville attorney
who is Lions International
counselor for North Carolina
and served last year as legal ad
visor on administration to the
United Nations, was in charge
of the two-day program.
In their addresses Kan and
MacRae described the Collegiate
Council for LJnited Nations as
a "non-partisan, non-profit" or
ganization dedicated solely to
"bringing U.N. to the people." i
"By bringing speakers,
movies, and literature to every
"town,everycounty, every school
we hope to show the citizens of
North Carolina that U.N. not
only can work but must work,"
Kan told professional men in
Boone and Statesville.
Urging a "healthy optimism"
toward realization of world
peace, Adm. Colclough warned
that the U.S. must maintain
strong armed force as precau
tion. "The Naval Disarmament
Convention of 1922 was a great
er blow to our Navy than any
battle the Navy has experienced,
including Pearl Harbor," he
said.
The two-day caravan was the
first of a series of field trips
which the Carolina CCUN will
make into the state. Kan and
MacRae were accompanied by a
Daily Tar Heel staff writer.

Barrage of Telegrams to Justice, DTH, Others Hits Campus;
Ostensibly Signed by William and Mary Prexy, Co-Captains
By Chuck Hauser
"Plan your next edition edged
in black," the telegram said. It
was Signed "President Student
Body College of William and
Mary."
Thus started an endless bar
rage of wires which harrassed
Western Union all day Monday,
and kept the poor messenger
boys on their toes.
Aside from the telegram re
ceived by the Daily Tar Heel,
such campus and national nota
bles as Dr. Frank Graham,
Charlie Justice, Coach Snavely,
and Tom Eller were besie'ged.
The DTH wire said in toto:

One of the first items of busi
ness on the Student Legislature
agenda when it meets in Ger
rard hall at 7:30 tonight will be
a report by delegates to the Na
tional Students association Bill
Miller, Johnny Clampitt, and
Herman Baker.
The association met in Madi
son, Wisconsin, on the Univer
sity of Wisconsin campus from
August 29 through September 9
this fall as a constitutional con
vention to organize the group.
' The purpose of the association
is to unite all American college
students for betterment of stu
dent rights and to increase in
ternational activity among
schools by exchange of students.
The three delegates will make
a report of the meeting to the
Legislature along with their rec
ommendations as to whethrr the
University student body should
become a member or not.

lators who were absent from
either the October 2 or October
9 meeting of the body.
These persons are advised to
have written, excuses prepared
for the Rules committee at to
night's session. This was stressed
in light of the fact that only
two unexcused absences are per

The following were absent
from one of the last two legisla

CAFETERIA CONFORMS
Officials of the N. C. Cafe

Daily Tar Heel that it will con

days and poultryless Thursdays.
It was also brought to the
newspaper's attention that last
week proprietors of local eating
establishments met and agreed
to abide by the President's re
quest. So far more than half of the
establishments have adhered to
the agreement.
ly a check was in order.
At 11:15 Tuesday night we
finally contacted the William
and Mary prexy by long dis
tance, a friendly-sounding fel
low by the name of Howard
Hyle. Asked whether or not he
sent the wires, Hyle replied,
"Naturally not. But if the tele
grams are bolstering school
spirit any down there don't say
I denied it. I think it's a fine
thing if it will promote a more
exciting game Saturday."
Hyle's name was not the only
one signed to the communica
tions plaguing the campus.
Charlie Justice received one os
tensibly signed by the co-captains
of the William and Mary
football squad. Charlie's read as
follows:

At press time last night the
Dialectic Senate was expected to
vote down the often debated
proposal of nominating candi
dates for the editorship of the
various campus publications out
of the hands of the political par
ties. The question as resolved was:
"That Article IV Section IV of
i the Constitution of the student
body should be amended so as to
remove the nomination of the
editor-in-chiefs of the campus
publications from the hands of
the political parties."
John Zucker, president pro
tempore: introduced the first
speaker, Charles O. Long, who
presented the question briefly
from the affirmative side.
Long's points were (1) The
present system of selecting edi
tors for the publications is a po
litical "plum" to be picked and
"batted around" each spring at
elections. (2) The present sys
tem violates the principles of
journalism in that the election
of the editor should not be po
litical, although the editor may
be a politician, and that when
they are political elections the
result is that the best and most
qualified men are not always
picked.
President Long brought out,
"If we wish to improve Our pub
lications, if we want to have the
best men running the publica
tions, then we must amend the
system to pick men acceptable
to not only the political parties
but also to the staff of the pub
lication and the board of editors.
Chairman of the Ways and
Means committee of the senate
John Zucker was the next speak
er on the program and advocat
ed the defeat of the proposal.
Zucker attempted to bring
out that the proposal was not
all that it appeared on the sur
face and should be carefully in
vestigated before action is taken.
"If we distrust political par
ties, let's set up a committee to
nominate the president of the
student body and the other cam
pus officers," Zucker retorted.
The speaker also brought out
that a capable editor may be un
popular as far as politics is con
cerned, he may even be unpopu
lar with the people he works
with, but if what he writes is
beneficial to thoss who read it,
that is the students, then he is
the best selection.
Zucker finished by comment
ing, "If there is anything wrong
with political parties on this
campus let us come out in the
open and say so. If there is any
thing wrong with democracy
then why are we sitting here?"
en" to the game because "the
town goes to the victor." With
Hyle's title affixed at the bot
tom it closed "with love."
Dr. Frank Graham's message
is apparently top secret, because
in his absence neither Chancel
lor House or Controller Car
michael would divulge its con
tents to the Daily Tar Heel.
The wire received by Mayor
Bob Madry at the University
News bureau warned that "We'
re going to finish up what Tex
as and Wake Forest started." It
was signed Dust Ash, sports edi
tor, William and Mary Flat Hat.
These few telegrams quoted
are just a small percentage of
those which hit the campus
Monday and Tuesday, but at
least they give a general idea
of what William and Mary stu
dents (at least several of them)
think of the coming grid battle
on Saturday. Perhaps W & M
student body president Hyle is
right, that they will stir up a
fighting urge in the Tar Heels
to put on a good show in Vir
ginia day after tomorrow. A
show good enough to make Wil
liam and Mary (both of them)
eat their words.
NUMHKIi 19
Following the two main con
structive speeches other mem
bers of the Senate and visitors
took the floor to express their
views or to submit a further pro
posal. Main points brought out
against the proposal were: (1)
The political party will natural
ly want to win the election and
will put up the most capable
man possible for the job. (2)
The student has a hold now in
campus government and should
not relinquish any of it. (3) Stu
dents must read what is written
in the publication and should
therefore have some say us to
who is chosen to write it.
Phi Debaters Beat
Cut in Grain Export
A resolution to drastically cut
grain exports to Europe was de
feated by a 20 to 3 vote of the
Phi assembly in its first discus
sion meeting of the term Tues
day night.
Introduced by Frank Teague,
the bill stressing humanitarian,
economic, and political factors
met heavy opposition from the
floor, where it was hotly debated
by the members who emphasized
the fact that should the United
States cut off exports, European
nations would become commu
nistic. Teague, upholding the resolu
tion, asserted that by cutting
grain exports inflation and
prices would be reduced in this
country.
At the opening of the meet
ing, speaker John Giles deliver
ed his inaugural address which
stressed the opportunities that
the Phi offers its members. He
expressed his belief that this
year the assembly will attain its
pre-war level of activity.
A resolution temporarily
changing the meeting time of
the Phi from 7:30 to 9 o'clock
at night was passed during the
meeting.
