Student's Autos
May Be Limited,
Umstead Asserts
By Bill Sexton
A limitation may be placed
co student autos on campus,
John W. Umstead, member of
the University trustee's execu
tive committee, indicated last
night at a town meeting on
Chapel Hill parking problems.
"Unless there arise's a different
attitude taken by student drivers
in town and on campus," Um
stead said, "the Board of Trus
tees will have to do something."
He said the. subject of a ban on
student-owned cars had a
been discussed by rhe trustees.
Highlights Meeting
Umstead's declaration high
lighted a spirited meeting call
ed by the Chapel Hill' Board of
Aldermen to sound out public
opinion concerning installation
of parking meters in the busi
ness district. The move had been
recommended by a city commit
tee on parking and traffic. .
L. J. Fhlpps, local attorney
and, alumnus, opposad parking
meters but stiggested parallel
parking and strict enforcement
of parking time limits as an al
ternative. Phitps appeared at
the meeting in behalf of a group
of Chapel Hill merchants.
Fraternities Object
; Strong opposition -was regist
ered by representatives of the
fraternities on Columbia street,
v.-hich under the proposed park
ing control plan would be limit
ed to cne-hour parking with
meters installed in front of their
properties. Chief spokesmen for
the group -were Ernest House
of Sigma Alpha Epsiion and Tag
Montague of Delta Kappa Epsi
ion. ;
Hcrcse and Montague suggest
ed that the plan of the aldermen
be tabled cn the grounds that
the number of student cars
would ar'cp as veterans finish
schoQlin-undsr.the GJjpilLp;
Though the meeting, which
attracted nearly a hundred citi?
zens and students to the city hall
courtroom, devoted most of its
timp m orsnosinT installation of
meters, equally strong support
was scored by several speakers.
Louis Graves, editor of the
Chapel Hill Weekly, reiterated
the complete accord with the
plan which he expressed in an
editorial rriday. And R- tl.
Hamilron, political science de
partment instructor, urged in
stallation as the only solution.
Co-op 'Board

Joiin
Flmendorf,
graduate
student from Lumberton
has
been elected chairman of the
Victory Village veterans co-op
stcre to succeed Torn McDade,
it was announced yesterday.
Rumors current at Victory
Village that McDade was asked
to resign have absolutely no
basis, according to responsible
co-op officials. Rather, they
said.. McDade, a brilliant stu
dent and winner of this j'ear's
Phi Beta -Kappa award, has
planned to resign for sevefal
weeks. Pressure of his studies, a
part-time job, and family obli
gations forced him to that de
cision, they said.
At the same time it was
pointed out, that Elmendorf
comes to the job with a wealth
cf co-op experience. He has ser
ved in similar posts at Yale uni-
versity and in Europe.

din Attacks U.S.
Lake Success, Oct. 20 (UP)
Russia held the center of the
United Nations General assembly
stage today as Delegate Andrei
Vishinsky took up where he
left off last week with an impas
sioned attack on the United
States that lasted for more than
90 minutes.
First Vishinsky struck at the
American proposal for a semi
permanent U.N. "Watchdog"
Commission on the Greek-Balkan
border which the Political
and Security committee has al
ready approved. ,
The Russian delegate reiter
ated his demand that American
and British troops be forced out
of Greece and that the U.N.
supervise ail outside aid to that
country.
. Going a little further this
time, Vishinsky then demanded
that the United Nations indict
the Western powrers for causing
strife i& Greece- As a final -point
he asked for U.N. controls on
American aid to the Greek gov
ernment under the Truman
plan.
The silver-haired Russian dip
lomat then took off on another
tack, with the United States
still his target. His oratorical
fire was directed on the Ameri
can proposal for U.N.-supervised
elections in Korea.
He called this plan, which was !
put forth by Secretary George
Marshall, a plot to hold Korean
elections under the domination
of American troops, comparing
such elections to those of Greece,
which, he charged, were run
under the guns of the Western
powers.
The American plans as given
to the assembly calls for elec
tions on Russian and American
zones of Korea wdth a U.N.
commission as observer. The
elections would establish a leg-,
islature which would negotiate
for the withdrawal of Soviet and
American troops. Russia coun
tered this plan with a proposal
that both occupation forces
withdraw soon with no further
ado. .
Electric neon signs with let
ters that can be changed as of

are available. Magnets, keep the

Three thousand Carolina stu

Radio Show Features
Four Authors Tonight
Four prominent Chapel Hill
authors will tear each other's
stories apart this evening over
radio station WDNC from 10
to 10:30 when '"Writers At
Work," a new University radio
show, is broadcast from the
Communication Center's campus
studios.
Presentation of an original
story by writer James Street will
open the program. Pulitzer
prize-winner Paul Green and
novelist Foster Fkz-Simohs will
criticize the story and work out
their own versions of the same
plot. ,
Moderator for the literary
"free-for-all' will be Noel Hous
ton, author of "The Great Prom
ise." When James Street is not
writing such well-know novels
as "By Valor and Arms" and
"The Gauntlet," he runs his ex
perimental farm near Chapel
Hill. Motion picture production
of Street's book "Tap Roots" is
now in progress.

They have also again called to
the attention of the student body
that the times for this week's
picture-taking has been changed
to 1 to 6 o'clock and 7:30 until
10.
Law, pharmacy, and public
health students who missed their
special periods are also asked to
come.
According to the editors, the
unexpected "slowness of the stur
dent body in responding to their
repeated attempts to get them
photographed is seriously delay
ing ail phases of Yack prepara
tion, and is making the creation
of a "representative" bock im
possible. -

PLAN CONTEST
Chi Delta Phi, national honor
ary literary sorority, has an
nounced a membership contest,
which will close October 21.
Manuscripts may be of any type
of original literature, preferably
500 words or over. If poetry
is submitted, four to five poems
is the minimum. Manuscripts
should be submitted to Marcella
Harrer, 203 Alderman Dorm.
Will iam and Mary followers
standing under those same trees
became a bit inquisitive and
asked what was going on. Since
only coeds and fools contend
with edds of seven to one, the
sly invaders turned practical.
While they were in the trees,
the Tar Heiiians announced that
the pennant was going to a pep
raliy; and then when they were
safe in their trusty Town and
Country nearby, they announced
that the pep rally would be one
in Chapel HiiJ. Further remarks
are censored.
Now "Beat Carolina" hangs
for all to see along with the final
outcome of the game ample
reason for William and Mary to
go to pieces about childish tele
gram pranks and be two very
sad people.
