All Political Faiths "Student and faculty lead ers of all shades of opinion have been invited to partici pate in the discussion," an nounced IRC President Bill Patterson. "We hope that everyone interested in Russo American relations will join us Monday night." -Representatives from such campus groups as the Ameri can Veterans Committee, Stu dents for Democratic Action, Collegiate Council for the United Nations, Carolina Po litical Union, Di and Phi Sen ates, Henry Wallace club, Conservative club and World Federalists have been asked to attend the meeting. Situations Explained v "Everyday over, the air and in the headlines excited and new words are hurled at us," Patterson said. "Such words as 'Cominform,' 'warmong ers, 'veto,' 'Marshall plan,' 'Truman doctrine,' 'atom bomb' The International Relations club discussions at tempt to disentangle calmly the slogans and arrive at the truth."

McArthur, Director, of Madame Butterfly, First Started on Career By- Ricliarcl Crooks Edwin McArthur, who will di rect the performance of "Ma dame Butterfly" to be given here on November 5th under the sponsorship of the Student en tertainment committee, is car rying on the great European tra- dition of the poor blacksmith's i son who carried a melody in his. heart and because of it became the toast of the continental capi tals. Born in Denver, Colorado, the son of a Congregational minis ter, he grew up as the ordinary, if a little above average, Amer ican boy. His first public acclaim ' was the result of his winning an Eagle Scout badge, the highest honor of the American boy scouts, and later he distinguish ed himself by winning the Colo rado state typing championship. Undoubtedly, this was an above average boy, but despite the fact that he had directed the choir in his father's church, few people in Denver were prepared for the next chapter in the life of Edwin McArthur. It so hap pened that when he was fifteen years old the famous tenor iucii ard Crooks saw him and imme diately took notice. Having satisfied himself that the boy had real musical ability he allowed him to accompany him on a concert tour of the West and later helped him to win a scholarship to New York's day Democrats Plan Long Program Following an executive meet ing held Friday evening, Mar tin Knowlton, chairman of the Wallace Democrats, announced that the primary purpose of the club was not necessarily to get Henry Wallace elected president. "We know that it is foolish to think that one man is cap able of changing the national and international scene over night. However, if enough in terest is displayed in the things that Wallace stands for it is quite likely that the democratic party will be forced to modify their platform to avoid a split," said Knowlton. Knowlton went on to explain that the group is in contact with Wallace people all over the country and that it will not lim it its activities to Chapel Hill but will attempt to start similar groups all over the state. The next meeting will be held Friday evening of this week. hesler to Lecture At Alabama School Dr. James W.

Here, in addition to polishing his tech nical knowledge, McArthur met many of the great American musical figures of the day. He never finished the course at Julliard's however, as he was in great demand to accompany such stars as Ezio Pinza, John Charles Thomas, and Gladys Swarthout on their tours. But EDWIN MCARTHUR it was with Kirsten Flagstad that McArthur first began to be come known as a great musical personality himself. His debut as a full scale oper atic conductor came with Ma dame Flagstad , herself on the stage and the Sydney Symphony in the pit.

' (Staff photo by Wilson Yarborough) Two Spectators Hit By Food Poisoning At Tennessee Game Two Danville, Va., men are reported in "serious" condi tion today at Watts Hospital, Durham, following attacks of acute food poisoning at the Carolina - Tennessee game yesterday afternoon. The two, Sidney Peck and Kenneth. Dodd, were stricken in Kenan stadium during the first half of the game and car ried to the University Infir mary for emergency treat ment. The poisoning was attribu ted to ham consumed during a noon meal at Danville yes I terday before the pair depart- NBC symphony, the Metropoli tan Opera company, and most of the other leading American musical organizations. He learned something of the handling of musical ensembles during the course of a mutually profitable association with George Gershwin and Richard Rodgers, and he has directed re vivals of "Showboat" and Vic tor Herbert's "Sweethearts." For the past three seasons, he has been the musical director of the St. Louis Municipal opera Association. His ability and versatility make him much in demand on Broadway and are expected to add much to Wagner's "Madame Butterfly" when it plays here. However, his wonderful sense of musical balance and his per sonal modesty caused one New York critic to remark to Wag ner that "Your conductor holds the orchestra to its place as a perfect background for the singers, not rival performers." McArthur's appearance, plus the outstanding reputations and past performances of the stars who appear on the stage, have prompted the student entertain ment committee here to regard "Madame Butterfly" as the headline feature of the outstand ing series of productions that they are bringing here this winter. No Snubbing Of UNC Says Helms In Answer v:v" 1 ' ": By Bill Sexton " ' If the University was not represented Thursday at the meeting of the North Carolina Student Legislative council which wrote an abrupt and unexpected end to ten years of annual statewide student legislatures, it was only be cause Carolina was not en titled to, representation. That ; is the reply of Ira Helms, State college student who was president of the now -' dissolved, legislative council, : to the charge from Chapel Hill that a deliberate attempt - was -f made to keep other schoolsf rom participat ing in the meeting. No Delegate on Council The United Press quoted Helms last night as declaring that the University of North Carolina was not represent ed at the meeting simply "be cause it does not have a dele gate on the council." Helms," , who was serving his second term as president of the council when the group "permanently" dissolved it self and the State Student Legislative " assembly said that only council officers have any authority. He told re porters in Raleigh that the officers have the power to cancel or assemble the legis lature "as they see fit." In his announcement of the joint dissolution of the coun cil and legislature Thursday, the State college student gave entirely different rea sons for the action: No Approval Filed (1) Only State college had filed written approval by col lege authorities of its delega tion to the council, which ac tually was in itself the coun cil. (2) Only State had duly ap pointed faculty advisors for its delegation. On Thursday Helms did not mention the cause he list ed last night, though he ad mitted both times that the underlying reason was the admission of delegates from Negro schools to last year's session. ' : Maurice Braswell, presi dent of the Debate council here, said Friday that no an nouncement of either the council meeting or the legis lative assembly had been re ceived either by himself or by Tom Eller, president of the student body. Berry Refutes Charge The 1947 session, Helms announced Thursday, was to have met in the state capitol at Raleigh November 28-29. And Larry Berry, former clerk of the student legisla ture at Chapel Hill and a del egate to the 1945 state stu dent legislature, labeled Helms' charge that the move to admit Negro delegates origianted from "an organi zation in New York" as "hard to understand." "We discussed the question of inviting delegates from the colored colleges thor oughly among the Carolina delegation before we left for Raleigh," :Berry declared. But, he added, he "was un able to imagine" any connec tion between the move and any organizations ii New York." Only Five Mo' Days.

CIO Textile UIm To Study Date for By the United Press Danville, Va., Nov. 1 Southern CIO labor leaders will meet here tomorrow to consider a starting date for a proposed strike that would freeze the entire Southern textile industry. The executive vice presi dent of the Textile Workers Union of America, George Baldanzi, said today a strike date will be set unless what he calls "satisfactory prog ress" is reported on the un ion's demands for a 15-cent-an-hour wage boost in. all Southern mills. Baldanzi declared that if the strike is voted, it will be "Southwide." Several mills I Justice, dodgers Locols T Third I By Bob Goldwater ' Rolling to a 20-0 half time lead, Carolina's comeback kids, paced by Choo-Choo Charlie Justice, continued their win ning ways yesterday in Kenan stadium with a 20-6 triumph over a hapless Tennessee eleven that in no way resembled last year's powerful team. .. The actual score fails to show how completely the Tar Heels dominated the play, but the 41,000 fans on hand can testify to that. The Volunteers pushed their way past the midfield stripe only two times, one coming when they tal lied their lone touchdown on a 47-yard pass play midway in the fourth quarter. And in the statistics department, it was n't even close it was Carolina all the way. The Tar Heels ran up 19 first downs to three for the oppositions gained a net to tal of 395 yards, to 99 for the Vols, ran 71 plays as compared to 41 for Tennessee, and in var ious other ways outplayed the boys from the other side of the mountains. In short, they click ed with deadly precision. Clicked for the first half, that is. Coach Carl Snavely's charges registered all their points short ly after the halfway mark in the second stanza and then sat back to protect their lead. It wasn't hard. Tennessee was woefully weak along the ground and Car olina was much improved . in pass defense. All of which meant that this particular band of Vol unteers didn't march anywhere. Justice Comes Through Although unable to reel off any long runs, Justice never theless did everything the Car olina fans could desire and then some. He scored one touch down himself and passed for the other two. All four aerials he threw were completed for total gains of 50 yards. But Justice wasn't the top of fensive leader. Taking up where he left off last week, hustling Hosea Rodgers accounted for 155 yards in the Carolina attack with eight running plays good for 69 yards and seven aerial tosses picking up 86 yards. His fourth-quarter understudy, Bob Kennedy, reaped a share of the honors by ripping off six runs good for 38 yards. There were lots of luminaries lip front ! in the forward wall, where a fighting line held Tenn essee to 11 yards net along the ground. On offense, three pass catching ends, Art Weiner, Bob Cox, and John Tandy stood out with 13 catches good for 177 yards. First Touchdown It took the Tar Heels all of eight minutes and 10 seconds to register their initial score. Starting on their own 42, the Snavelymen, with Justice and Rodgers alternating, pushed to the enemy seven in eight plays. From there, Justice pitched his first payoff aerial into the hands of Cox, who fell over the goal line for a TD. Cox's attempted conversion was wide, but Caro lina was out front, 6-0. Following the kickoff, Tenn- Hcids Meet Today Southwidc Shutdown are making last-minute ne gotiations, he said but none have yet met the union de mands. The union has claimed that the demand is not unreason able,, that the wage increase would help eliminate the dif ference in wages paid to Northern and Southern tex tile workers. The proposed strike would affect some of the South's largest mills, including the Erwin and Cone mills in North Carolina, the Fieldcrest mills owned by Marshall Field in North Carolina and the Lowenstein chain, which owns plants in .

Rodfers Pitching Justice picked up three off tackle and Rodgers flipped a pass to Weiner, on which the big flankman made a diving catch down on the Vol 36. Rod gers pitched another, this time to Cox, and Carolina had a first down on the enemy 23 as the first period ended. Neither : the change in goals or the Tennessee team could stop Carolina at this point.

Martin Carmichael, speak ing for the University club, co-sponsofs of the jaunt, ex plained that students may make the trip whether sign ed up or not, but it will be necessary to have a fairly ac curate estimate of the num ber of passengers in advance to charter the train, or prop er number of coaches and Pullmans. Present indications show that from 450-600 hope to ride in the caravan.. If more than 250 students sign up for the trip, a special train, rath er than separate coaches, will be chartered. 1 Information on the project may be had by calling or see ing Bob Watson, Graham Me morial travel agent (tele phone 9881) in the student union office any afternoon this week. It is expected that the 112 members of the Uni versity band will travel on the special train also.
