K D I TOR I A 12 Prevt-nt an Epidemic Varied Speakers H'inte.t This Changing World VOLUME LVI Di Senate Inducts 12, Debates House Probes After the initiation of 12 new members, the Dialectic Senate meeting Wednesday night was highlighted by a hotly contested floor debate on a bill to dissolve the present House un-American Activities committee which recently dragged supposed Hollywood communists into the press spotlight., Introduced Bill Senator Noah Edwards in troduced a bill which would give the jurisdiction now en joyed by the House commit tee to the Federal Bureau of Investigation in hopes that hereafter disloyalty hearings might be conducted in a man ner more becoming to the United States government. Argument arose on the floor , as to whether investigation of un-American movements should be made public to ex pose and publicize those who are guilty or whether such probes should be handled more secretly bv the F.B.I, for the sake of those accused and ridiculed without just cause. Amendment Made Four amendments to the bill of the evening were pre sented and debated in a floor discussion that lasted until 11:15 o'clock. Three of the proposals were defeated, and only Al Lowenstein's sugges tion to condemn the Holly wood hearing in particular was inserted into the bill. By the time of the actual vote, a short e of a quorum froced the Di to count its decision as unofficial. Those Senators and visitors present until the end of the session, however, . did vote in favor of killing the House un-American Ac tivities committee entirely. . New Members The new members inducted in the earlier stages of the meeting brought the roll of the Di Senate to a total of 54.

"The best seats are going fast," he continued," although thfre are still plenty left for all three of the nights." "Gin Lane," the most am bitious Sound and Fury un dertaking since before the var, has an original book written bv Pete Strader and Ken Gammage, the inimitable authors of the now-famous ; "Blip!" skit and music by Frink Matthews. The three-act melodrama is p-t in the period of the Roar- in? Twenties, and ' features numerous bootleggers, Map- pers, rumrunners, and gang sters of the type that flourish ed in that era. Additional songs popular in the twenties and a singing snd dancing chorus round out an evening's entertainment.

P. Putnam Sons, publishers "It is surprising that no one before has thought of clarifying and unifying the dramatist's thought by the simple means of taking it out of its aramaiu. wi t;n feeing it from the distract ing element of its poetry, and arranging it in logical and high ly readable form," the publish ers point out. Dr Taylor has shown, in his, or rather Shakespeare's, essays, that the thoughts uttered by the dramatist's many characters "group themselves into coherent arguments, consistently deveU oped and superbly phrased." What Dr. Taylor has done is bring together all these essay United Press Aldermen Approve Vote on Bond Issue For Sewer Sysfem Warned that complete breakdown of Chapel Hill's sewerage disposal might oc- cur at any time due to present overloading, the city's board of aldermen have voted to call a special bond issue elec tion for financing municipal improvement "as soon as pos sible." At a meeting Wednesday evening with representatives of the University, the alder men approved plans for a bond issue which would pro vide $225,000 to -match a sim ilar University grant for new sewerage disposal facilities and $50,000 for road repairs and equipment. Dangerous Overflow District Health Officer O. David Garvin and Town Man ager Gilbert Ray told the al dermen that the sewer sys tem had already undergone dangerous overflows and might break down "at any time." The present system was designed in 1931 to serve 7,500 people and has been operating at a 100 per cent overload for several years. University representatives at the meeting included Busi ness Manager Claude Teague, Supervisor of Operations J. S. Bennett, and A. H. Shep ard, assistant to the business manager. The state legislature last spring included in the Uni versity's biennial budget $225,000 as the state's share in enlarging the Chapel Hill s,e w erag e . system, which serves both University and city. This, with the town con tribution from the proposed bond issue, would be used to erect a new disposal plant on the Mason farm and provide connecting sewer lines. The proposed plant is de signed to serve 15,000, ap proximately the present pop ulation of Chapel Hill. The additional $50,000 in cluded in the bond issue pro posed by the aldermen would be used to seal-coat present paved streets, provide paving for present dirt streets, and purchase equipment. Mailman Hater Goshen, Ind. (UP) A truck driver who doesn't like mail men was nunted uy sneriii s deputies today. Sheriff Luther Yoder said a man driving a flat bed truck took off on a zig-zag course down a six-mile road between Dunlop and Goshen and knocked down 37 mail boxes, every one along the road. Dr. George Coffin Taylor ideas found in Bard's' writings, and, without altering the text print his poetry as prose. In this clear, simple form, it seems ' that Shakespeare had miracu- ' lously up-to-date ideas. I Many scholars, without ques- I yc i ! I CHAPEL HILL, N. C. lf ADDRESSING the Ohio So ciety of New ork, Sen. Rob ert Taft (R-O), said he be lieves that the "United States v should provide aid to Europe in reasonable amounts. Taft, an announced candidate for next year's Republican presi- dential nomination, told the society, meeting in New York, that the rest of the world should be rationed before this country is called upon to ra tion itself in behalf of a pro gram of foreign aid. (Inter national) Special Broadcast Of Game to Be Made Frustrated radio dialers during the Tar Heel-Florida football fracas need have no fear of a repeat performance this week-end, for through the special efforts of the Uni versity' s Communication Center staff members, the Maryland game will be broadcast to this area by WD UK, Durham, on 1310 kilocycles. "We have made arrange ments to pick up the play-byplay accounts from station WWDC in Washington," Earl Wynn, director of the Center explained." I contacted Her man Duncan, manager of the Durham station, and was told they would cancel their com - mercial commitments to car - ry the game, if all technical details could be arranged." Only Broadcast Wynn said all these ar rangements have been made and the Durham station, the only one in the state to carry the game, will come in from Griffith Stadium at 1 :55 o'clck Saturday afternoon, and continue the special pro gram until the final play. The commercial announcements by the sponsor in Washington will be replaced bv items of public interest by WDUK. tioning Shakespeare's eminence as p.oet and dramatist, have de nied that he was a great think er. But with Dr. Taylor's sim plified version of this thought processes, the Bard's arguments boil down to essays on subjects which correspond in many way? to those about which Bacon wrote. According to the publishers, the result is a body of comment on men and things which is "ex hilarating and delighting. ... In brief, whether one is born with an infinite variety of intellectual intei-ests or with a single track mind, he will find in these-"S-says exactly what he is thinking about said as he, himself, would like to say it." They also point out that for those who fancy they know their Shakespeare well enough to en- !ter "Information Please," "they may have the time of their lives, as the quotations in the volume are drawn from every neck of Shakespeare's words. Kieran, Adams, Tunney, spotters as they are, will for once be back oil their heels and hanging on the ropes." W'Z iJ f- I nun' f FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 14, YWCA to Sponsor Two Needy Drives This coming month the YWCA will conduct two wor thy drives on campus, one to prevent world-wide starva tion and the other to brighten Thanksgiving for . needy Chapel Hill families. First, next week the YWCA will open a center for the col lection:, of clothing to be sent to poverty ravished European families. This project, sched uled to last throughout the year, is to enable all students to contribute their discarded , or unused garments for for eign needs. From January 25 ,to 31, however, a community and campus drive will be sponsored to receive addi tional contributions. In the meantime, the win ter season has arrived in Eu rope; and starving, homeless families need clothing badly now. The Y center will serve to furnish those clothes in as little time as possible before the January drive. All stu dents possessing wearable garments of any size are re quested to deposit them in the center provided by the "Y" building. Second, a co-ed "get-to gether" is set for -Monday, November 24, at 5 o'clock. At this time alLY committees will meet jointly in the main lounge of Graham Memorial. The program, carrying out the Thanksgiving theme, will make it possible for guests to donate articles of food to be expended to needy fami lies in Chapel Hill during the Thanksgiving season. This food 'triayihclude'ca nnfid goods or any non-perishable fruit. One basket of this food, for example, will be distributed to a local colored family of eight children. This particu lar family is very hard-pressed and the children will be grateful for the cheer which the Y basket will afford. The youngest child, a little girl of two and a half, was used in the recent baby-sitting 'demonstration; and it was lugn ner mai me gins at tending were able to learn the principles of baby care. In addition, it is hoped that enough baskets will be filled for distribution among many other families. This program is headed by Sally Lee with Betsy Green j and Feme Hughes m charge of music. hetzer, Voigt Ask bor Safe Driving To, Jrrom Grid Game Coach Bob Fetzer and Chuck Voigt, president of tho University club, have asked that all students be especially careful both driving to and from Washington today and in the city during the parade from the Hamilton hotel to Griffith stadium in order to avoid any accidents which would mar the fun and high spirits the football caravan involves. Another point stressed is no drinking on the way to or from the game. "The old adage about whiskey and gas oline not mixing may be hack neyed, but it is still truer than most students realize," Voigt stated. "Everyone knows that he can party to his heart's con tent once he reaches the Capi tal. Friday night and Satur day should be enough for any one to get a good hangover," Voigt continued. "The point is that drinking on the open road is an invitation to sui cide." "Nobody likes to be preach-' ed to, particularly Carolina students," the University club head concluded, "but anyone going to college should be adult enough to know how to be sensible." 1947 Phcrw?

The entire bill was then tabled on a motion by Long himself.

The bill was further amended to specify that number of representatives from each of the three districts would not be determined until next spring when a census could be taken. i J Publications Board The Publications board wis appropriated $550 to cover an anticipated deficit, in a bill which came to the floor from the finance committee. Privi leges of the floor were extended to Ed Joyner, member of the Board, who stated that all the publication expenses had been cut to a minimum and that tha appropriation would be a neces sity if the Yackety Yack was properly published.
