WSSF to Make Final Effort to Achieve $2,500 Collection for Student Relief By SALLY WOODHULL With more than $2,500 al ready collected in cash and pledges, World Student Service fund today begins its final effort to collect money for relief of students abroad. Goal of American colleges and universities for WSSF this year is $1,000,000, as endorsed by the National Student Associa tion convention in Madison, Wisconsin this summer. Because American students are almost the least hit by war devastation, they are being call ed upon to make the largest con tribution to this world-wide pro ject for relief. Students and pro fessors of 18 other countries also rnntribute to World Student Re lief, of which WSSF is the Amer ican division. Paige Harris and Pat Car ruthers, co-chairman of solici tors for the campus drive, have urged that all dormitory and fraternity or sorority solicitors turn in complete reports by this morning at 11 o'clock. The WSSF office in the Y building will be open from 10 to 11 to receive reports.

UNC-Backed State Student Legislature Seen Ey BILL SEXTON A state student legislature un der Carolina sponsorship moved nearer reality yesterday with the announcement that Secre tary of State Thad Eure was "sympathetic" to its revival. Al Lowenstein, chairman of the UNC delegation at last year's legislature, said yesterday that he had conferred with the Sec retary of State and found him in favor of a revival "under re sponsible sponsorship." Asks Faculty Part Lowenstein said Eure, a prom inent figure at the previous ses sions of the student legislature, had recommended that "ade quate faculty representation" be included in any plans for reor ganization. He said the Secre tary of State indicated that un der "responsible sponsorship" he could see no reason why there should not be a student legislature this year. It was learned last night that the capitol building in Raleigh apparently has not .been re served for any of several week ends over which the legislature might meet before Christmas. The chairman of the 1946 UNC delegation said he had been notified of support at Wo men's college in case Chapel Hill undertakes to revive the legis lature, which was dissolved on ly last week by State college's legislative council. He indicated that "it seems possible the move may find support during the week even at State college it self." , V . Debate Council Meets Meanwhile, the Debate coun cil was scheduled to meet last night to discuss the possibility of assuming responsibility for the revived legislature. Maurice Braswell, council president, has already indicated his desire to push reorganization of the legis lature, which has met annually since 1936 under sponsorship of State college. As a result "mostly" of the admission of Negro delegates to last year's session, the State Stu dent Legislative council, spon soring group at State, dissolved itself and cancelled the 1947 session, scheduled to meet n Raleigh, November 28-29. The charge that an "organiza tion in New York" had inspired the resolution inviting repre sentatives from the colored col leges was reported as one of the reasons behind the dissolution. Lowenstein said, yesterday he knew of "no one in Raleigh who seriously thought that any 'New York organization' had anything to do with the resolution, unless it be an imaginative or news hungry reporter." Unpaid Tickets May Be Costly Students failing to pay park ing ticket fees may find them selves in court at considerable expense in time and money, Chief of Police W. T. Sioan warned yesterday. Sloan said that city police are now checking unpaid tickets against state and university auto registration lists, and that war- rants would be issued shortly for delinquent parkers. Court costs for parking cases tried before Recorder H. A. Whitfield total $8.30, and an additional fine may be imposed. Only $1 is charged for first of I fenders who appear promptly ai fenders who appear promptly at the city traffic bureau in Town SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1947 Phone F-3371 THE PLANE THAT HUGHES BV1ZTT continued to dominate the Capitol scene yesterday as the Washington hearing reopened with testimony by Major General Ben nett Myers. The Army Air Force material chief reported that the late President Franklin D. Roosevelt and his top adviser, Harry Hopkins, helped Hughes get a photo plane contract which had been turned down by many Army air officers. Hughes is picture above with a group of newsmen after the big ship first took to the air this week.

McCutcheon, Vive-President Bill Tate, Secretary Annie Ben Eeale, and Treas urer Bill Blvthe met with the corammee Thursday or dis- cussion of Senior Week and general class objectives. Another meeting has been called for November 13 to study the financial status of the class of '48. Promotion of inter-class spirit and activities planning will be main purposes of the 40-member, group, McCutche on declared. He said he hopes veterans who have already complet ed undergraduate work would give their whole hearted allegiance to the present senior group. At a time in the near future, members of the com mitter plan to contact each individual senior to discuss ideas for senior social func tions. Delegates to the Steering Committee are; ATO.

Representatives will be se lected from all organizations ! and dormitories not listed Grid Game Takes Sadie Hawkins Limelight As Phogbound Wins by Score of 14-13 By Chuck Hauser The annual student Sadie Hawkins day was done up brown yesterday as the foot ball classic ..between Phog bound and Fortescue univer sities all but stole the lime light from the race' of the bachelor girls and men. The penalty for students hooked by the high-stepping females was their "marriage" by John "Marryin' Sam" Clampitt and having to at tend last night's Sadie Haw kins square dance as dates of the girls. Following a noisy parade from Y court through the center of town, the crowd finally congregated at Fetzer field for the grid contest be tween Phogbound and For tescue. Notable among the players were the better part of the University's basketball and track teams. One of the most exciting plays of th afternoon was F-3361 Leaders Spike Lenoir Sunday Closing Plans University dining hall author ities announced yesterday there will be no Sunday closing of Lenoir dining hall, and the Car olina Inn cafeteria, which shut last Monday, will not continue the closure. Plans had been under consid eration to close the University eating establishments for one day a week following the foot ball season, dining hall heads admitted. But all suggested schemes containing any com plete shut-down were spiked by the University administration "So we will be open at all times," L. B. Rogerson Univer- ity supervisor of the dining halls, said. "The amount of service provided may be cut down to fit the lesser number of students wno eat on campus over the week-end, but the food lines will be serving seven days week." Rogerson explained the clos ing question had arisen over ways and means to cut down on the operating costs of the eat ing places. He pointed out the average number of meals served in th Lenoir cafeterias which ranges from 6,500 to 7,000 dur ing the week, drops to 2,000 over Saturday and Sunday. And, as the yolume of food sold de termines the retail prices, oper ating expenses rise sharply over intake on the comparatively bar ren week-ends. So with the cost of food rising almost daily, the dining hall authorities said they were continually seeking meth ods to cut down on student meal expenses. World Bank Name Chief Of Research H. W. Straley, III, of Chapel Hill, a University graduate and former faculty member, has been named to head research in geology, geophysics, and mining for the International Bank of Reconstruction and Develop ment (World Bank).

Track man Don Nelson caught a beautiful pass from Paxton which resulted in an other goal for whom no one knew because everyone swore that Don was running in the wrong direction. Basketballer Jim Hamilton masquerading as "Lonesome Polecat" was another out standing player for Phog bound. His hidden bali-in-the-blanket play resulted in a loss of a least 20 yards for his team. In spite of this, the final tally still gave the game to Phogbound with a score of 14 to 13. Tar Heel grid favorite Charlie Justice, a spectator at the game, commented that a few of the plays might prove useful to the Carolina team when thejr meet State college NUMBER 31 Tar Heels Favoreil Over Raleigh Club In Conference Tilt By Dick Jpiirt tte Carolina's Tar Heels and N. C. State's Wulip.ick re sume their old football rival ry in Kenan stadium at 2 o clock this allernoon ju a Big Four and Southern con ference headline!- that i.: ex pected to attract a Homecom ing dav crowd of nearly 40,000. " The meeting between the two brother institution:! in Raleigh and Chapel Hill will be the first since the series was discontinued in l'J-13 by officials of the greater Uni versity of North Carolina. The Tar Heels won that game by a 27-13 score over a civilian-manned State club that had to compete aoainst the Navy V-12 powered Tar Heel outfit. The fact that the war had stripped the Raleigh school of its football talent in addi tion to a very heated rivalry between the two student bodies brought about the dis continuation of the series. When the Tar Hech march ed through a successful sea son to the Sugar Bowl last year and State earned a bid to the Gator Bowl, North Ca rolina's sports fans figured they deserved to see the two teams battle in the home state, and the University of ficials complied with the pop ular demand. Tar Heels Favored For the 19-17 game, Caro lina has been" installed as the favorite by a margin of two touchdowns, but long time Tar Heel supporters recall that in the pa.-rt, I:tate has al ways been able to turn in a creditable and determined game against Carolina no matter what thf- records of the two teams were prior to the game. State and Carolina have met but onf? mutual oppon ent. Both plaved Honda, with Carolina winning by and State losing a 7-C upset to the Gators. This game is the main basis on which the Tar iiel:; rate th favored team today.

The race of the eligible bachelors topped off the af ternoon's entertainment, with several hundred students par ticipating at the risk of loss of their single freedom for the evening. The race carried the runners up into the hills and woods around Fetzer field, climaxing in the victo rious rnarria-?? ceremony for those girls who were lucky and strong enough to drag their men-folks over the fin ish line. Those students still able to walk after the hot chase join ed in a round of square-dancing, three- err god races, and all the affairs congruent to a debacle of the Sadie Hawkins jtype.
