Henderson Given Playmaker Award Dr. Archibald Henderson, head of the mathematics department and official Bernard Shaw bi ographer, was presented with a Master Playmakers award, spe cially engraved for the occasion, at the opening night of the Car olina Playmakers production of Shaw's "Saint Joan" last night. Samuel Selden, director of the Playmakers, presented the a ward,, saying, "For all of thirty years, Archibald Henderson has been associated with the Caro lina Playmakers. He has advised us, written about us, served on our committees, and lectured to us. . .It is doubly fitting, there fore, that we should dedicate this first performance of our thirtieth season to our senior member of the Playmakers." Dr. Henderson was guest of honor at a dinner in the Caro lina Inn before the performance, and the award was presented in the theatre, just before the cur- tain went up.

(Staff photo by Hardinf) First Step for Prevention of Vandalism Taken by Duke-Carolina Representatives The first major step in prevention of Duke-Carolina pre game vandalism was taken at a dinner meeting in the Caro lina InnTuesday evening when local student government officials discussed the problem with their Duke counterparts. Representing Duke univer- jsity were student body presi - Identt Gordon Smith, vice- president Howard Hartley, student council chairman Chuck White, Duke Chron icle editor Johnny Baldwin, head cheerleader Bob Welch, and deans Herring and Bob Cox. UNC Representatives University representatives were president Tom Eller, vice-president Jack Folger, Men's council chairman Bill Tate, Daily Tar Heel editor Barron Mills, head cheerlead er Myrt Sherard, Dean Fred Weaver, and assistant con troller and business manager of the University Claude Teague. Definite steps to vandalism were cited during the round-table discussion which followed the dinner. These included protection such as special night watch men for both campuses, spot lights stationed at Duke sta dium, and careful patrolling by Durham and Chapel Hill police along with the promise of prosecution of any persons caught committing destruc tive acts. Highway patrol men will also be alerted dur ing the week preceding the game to watch for violators. Former Success This meeting was the sec ond of its type in. the past two years. Before last fall's Duke-Carolina football con test, a similar discussion of vandalism prevention took place in Durham, and the re sult was a clean slate be tween the two schools, ac cording to officials at the meeting. The officials said that similar cooperation will be expected this time. Dean Herring, reviewing the past athletic records of the two universities, pointed out the excellent perform ances of the teams as to sportsman like conduct, and made the suggestion that students behave accordingly so as to not bring dishonor upon the names of either of the schools.

"America must be as liberal with her wealth as the nation's re sources will permit." Speaking to the former servicemen in the audience, Cooley said that "all that you won in the last war is about to be lost unless the United States abandons its economic isolation from the rest of the world. Selfish and short sighted men directing our povernment are trving to V w By Charley Gibson The University housing office, which has always considered it self the ruling authority on who should live where when, was slapped in the face today with a directive from higher headquar ters an order to evacuate its present station in room 207, South building.

See COMMUNISTS, page 4 Housing Office Is Rehoused; Must Vacate South Building Council I tar MSI ielegj Danie Chapel Hill Communist Party Openly Revealed by Circular By Raney Stanford The presence of a local chapter of the Communist party in Chapel Hill was officially revealed yesterday, with the issuance of an information circular from the "Communist Party of Chapel Hill, Junius Scales, chairman." phi Dcfaatcrs Pass On being contacted after! xyti i r- the release of the circular, J3l 11 Which raVOrS Scales explained that the or- ganization in Chapel Hill is a "small, active, representa tive group" affiliated with the North and South Caro lina district and national headquarters of the party in America. Chapter Activity The circular in question, which cited figures to show how corporation profits are causing current high com modity prices, Scales said is but one of the many activities by which the local chapter endeavors to carry out the general aims oi " American Communist party. The Communist chapter chairman said that to protect the best interests of his asso ciates, in view oi the current Ire 1 1 1 v ("economic ana social peise- cution of people with his beliefs, he thought it best to withhold specific facts about the local organization; such as the names and number of members, meeting places, and mff party affiliation couw r,r,iv rt with hf individuals concerned. Faced Investigation Last summer, Scales, who is a resident of Chapel Hill and a graduate student in history, was named before the House of Representatives Un-American Affairs commit- tee as being the leader of a Communist club on the Uni versity campus. On being asked at that time to confirm or denv this, he said this ac cusation "should not be dig nified by a reply from any one who believes in the tra dition of American liberty." But in a statement to the Daily Tar .Heel yesterday Scales stated: "I have been associated with the Commu nist party for a number of vears. I am now speaking in the name of my party, in the hope that I may in a small way dispel some of the dan- housing office in a few days, without excuses, complaints, pleading, bribes, or fuss, would merely clear out of South build ing. Wringing out a damp hankie or two, though, over such an in disposition, the housing office did release a list of its fellow sufferers those students who now head the vaiting files for any available dormitory space. During the next few days the following men should keep in contact with the housing office, wherever it may roam for a new home: Brown, Bynum R.; Couch, Robert S.; Crumpler, Earl H.; Evans, Robert G.; Hall, Ellis F., Jr.; Hobson, Fred C; Hunter, Rufus A., Jr.; McCall, Andrew F.; Mills, James D.; Nelson, Mal colm C; O'Connell, Robert P.; Oliver, John H.; Tucker, Vir gil A., Jr.; Twine, James M.; and Wagoner, Harold. Is Soys Ma LM Medical Socialism By a narrow margin of three votes Phi debaters pushed through a bill favoring so?ial ized medicine Tuesday night at the third weekly meeting of the term. Passed by a vote of 22 to 19, the bill recommends that the government provide a system of complete medical care available to all citizens at public expense. "The health of the nation is the responsibility of the nation," stated Chester D. ZumBrunnen, speaker pro-tem, as he introduc ed the bill to the assembly. Zum Brunnen outlined bills consid ered by the IT. S. Senate favor ing socialized medicine, and stressed the effect such a plan would have on relieving the in adequate medical facilities in rural areas. Speaker John Giles, leading the opposition to the measure, stated that socialized medicine is a method of appeasing the low er classes and favoring social ism. He also pointed out that placing physicians on a salary basis-would"seTioasiyrecfuce the Ui .. w.... Ifession, and would also prove harmful to creative medical re search. Dr. Ling, currently engaged in research on vitamin B-6 at the University, told members of the Phi that the expense of-.present day medical care puts adequate treatment beyond the reach of lower income groups, and that the distribution of the national income is such that in poorer states where hospitals are most urgently needed there are insuf ficient funds. He stated his be lief that a good plan of social ized medicine would eliminate these defects. Joke Boomerangs With COD Package Man-about-campus E m i 1 e Saleeby is one person who won't have to worry about that middle-aged spread. Neither will he be likely to pull any more practical jokes without thinking twice before hand. When a Durham depart ment store recently advertised immediate Chapel Hill deliv ery of their latest stock of girdles, Emile and cohort South Trimble thought it would be humorous to clip the ad and send it to the Moore twins, Ruth and Mary, whom they had made a practice of kidding for some time. The joke boomeranged very shortly. Puzzled by the amus 'ed giggles of the Moores' sor ority sisters when he would pass them on the campus, Emile didn't see the light un til a few days ago, when a COD package arrived at the post office from Durham ad dressed to Miss Emily Salee by. The parcel contained a size 40 girdle complete with gar ters. BROADCAST OPENING Students interested in volun tary work with Graham Memor ial, in connection with broad casting programs in Lenoir hall are requested to meet with Phil Couch, student union music di rector, in Graham Memorial be tween 2:30 and 3:30 this afternoon. caiifpitafa El A fnrmal ViMrincr into ihe delegation expense accounts controversy will be held by the Men's Honor council tonight, Bill Tate, chairman of the council, announced yester- day. Tate said investigation of the case, which involves use of student funds for air trans portation after student gov ernment officials had ordered the delegation to travel to the Madison N.S.A. confer ence bv dav coach, was under way by the council. The three delegates Bill Miller, Her man Baker, and Johnny Clampitt are scheduled to appear before the council to night along with Tom Eller, Jack Folger, and Sam Dan iels, the student government officers who asked the dele gates to travel by rail. Clarifies Case Daniels, secretary - treas urer of the student body, re leased a statement yesterday clarifying his stand in the case, u a n i e l s empnasizea three points: (1) Two of the N.S.A. dele gates Baker and Clampitt travelled by train as directed. But the pair entered on their expense accounts the cost of plane fare rather than that by rail. (2) The third delegate, Bill Miller, did travel by air, but his expenses were shared by student government and Sig ma Alpha Epsilon, which sent him to Michigan during the same period to a fraternity conference. (3) The headline in yester day's ; DTH which indicated the delegation was charged by Daniels with "fund ma nipulation" was misleading, since the secretary -treasurer intended no such accusation. Statement by Daniels Daniels' statement: "The real question is 'Should anyone be allowed to profit by virtue of the fact that he was selected to travel on University business?' The plain and simple fact is that Baker and Clampitt did not go by plane and have turned in expense accounts request ing S97.20 each for plane fare. Actually they spent for travel about $50 less than they are asking for, and if Committee Announces Plans For Sadie Hawkins Contests Two contests for beards and parade floats have been announced by the Sadie Hawkins day committee. The group managing the annual Nov. 7 fete said that the float contest would" be open to all campus organizations fraternities, sororities, clubs and dormi-- tories while the beard grow ing competition will be lim ited to males. Originality counts highest in the float contest and the committee has urged that all decorated jeeps, bicycles and automobiles "make up" for the competition. Organiza tions planning to enter floats were asked to submit their names to Butchie Daneil, 2nd floor, Alderman, by Tuesday, Nov. 4. Activities for the day will begin at 1 o'clock with a square dance demonstration in.the "Y" court bv the West ern North club. Sadie Haw kins skits will also be pre sented at this time. At 1:30 the parade will begin, and will circle around through Franklin street back to Fet zer field for the football game given by the Monogram club t 2-30. The main event of the dav is to be the. "Human Race" at 3:30, followed by the marriage ceremonies. At 4 o'clock various competitive race" will be sponsored by CICA, WAA, and Town Girls. There will be a backward dance in Woollen gym to close the eventful day. All eita Cise mmm National Student association they are allowed to receive plane fare, they will h-ve been allowed to make that much money on the trip at the expense of the student body. "Bill Miller's case is some what different since just pri or to the N.S.A. Convention he was sent to Michigan by his Fraternity to attend an other convention. He did go by Dlane; but since he was also traveling for another or ganization I feel that the Honor Council should decide the matter I don't know what amount he is rightfully entitled to. Only Incurred Expenses "The Bill only stated that checks for $200 should be sent to each delegate for ex penses 'necessarily incurred'; that they should keep ex pense accounts; and that the unused money should be re turned to Student Govern ment. I talked to Eller and Folger about the matter and we all agreed that the dele-i gates should go by train, since it would save about $150. Each delegate was in formed of this and told that if for any reason he could not go in this manner, he should immediately return the check so we could have a new delegate selected that would go in this manner. "I am not charging any person with 'fund manipula tion' I only know that I can't turn in any of the ex pense accounts until the Hon or Council or the Student Council decides what ex penses should be allowed to these men. I am sure that they want to do the right thing, and what the right thing is, is not for me to de cide. I don't think that the right thing includes money taken from the Student Body for any item that was never bought by the delegates. However, what I think doesn't matter and that is why the Judicial Branch of Student Government must decide the matter." coeds are expected to call fjr their dates and take then, to the gym at 8 o'clock. Jes' Nine Mo' Days. . . Hairless Joe looks jes' happy as ever, don't he?. . . Mebbe he fergits there's only nine mo' days 'till Sadie Haw kins day. And Hairless Joe's got no mo' troubles than all y'all eligible Tar Heel bachy lurs, so y'all better start prac-tisin'.
