Times Book Review" section: "Colonel Childers tells the stoiy with enthusiasm, humor and sym pathetic warmth that makes it a superb story, superbly done. I sav this is an absolutely swell book and I say it without any qualifications or reservations whatsoever." Travel books which Childers has written are: "From Siam to Suez", "Through Oriental Gates", "Sailing South American Skies", and "Murabo Jumbo, Esquire: A Book About Two Africas."

T I ml Air ROTC to Have Freshman Program Opening Next Te.m The Air Reserve Officers Train ing corps born on the University campus this year will open a pro- j gram in January exclusively for j freshmen interested in getting air j reserve commissions as part of. their normal college curriculum! j without entering the regular ar- my. j Colonel Byron R. Switzer, com manding officer of the local Air ROTC, explained yesterday, "Un- ! der the reserve officers training program here, University students arc ottered tne opportunity to earn commissions as second lieu tenants in the air force reserve j without obligating themselves to: any active service. Enlistment in the Air ROTC program actually does not entail 'joining the army' as some freshmen have mistaken ly assumed, since there are no commitments made involving a military career after the student j leaves college." Where To Apply Applications are already being received at th eAir ROTC offices in the rear of the naval armory building for approximately 60 va cancies in the course to be offered next quarter. Interested first year male students who are phy sically qualified American citi zens not yet 23 years of age with no previous military service should contact the Air ROTC of fices at their earliest convenience j for application blanks. The applicants accepted will at tend three class periods and two hour-long' drtllsper -week for five terms, two in their freshmen and three in their sophomore years. In addition to all textbooks, training equipment, and officers' uniforms, those selected for the program will have their military work ac credited as four regular academic hours per quarter towards gradu ation from the University. Advanced Training In their junior year these same student officers will become eli gible to enter the advanced Air ROTC program in which 32 vet erans are now enrolled. Then for four hours of classes and an hour of drill each week for two years and six weeks of special schooling during one summer the student officer receives a subsistence al lowance amounting to approxi mately $450, excluding the cost of uniform .books, and training equipment which are again fur- nished at government expense Specialization comes in the lat er stages of the advanced pro gram when the student officers train for either supply or statisti cal control administration. At present the War Department is sponsoring Congressional legis lation to add a pay feature amounting to about $570 for a total of at least $1000 in all over the four years of reserve training. Incorporated in the proposed leg- j islation is a provision for 10 hours flying training to be given as part of every Air ROTC course at the 18 colleges and universities which co-operated with the air corps in originating its own reserve this year. Annual Sunday Young, the glee clubs have won widespread recognition for their performance ability during the past several years.

Card Shark's Card Tomorrow in GM's Anybody who starts his career as the boy at the top of the rope in the Indian rooe trick might end as practically any thing. And from such a begin ning came Michael "Mickey" MacDougall, the card detective, who has made a profession of exposing the upper crust of the underworld gamblers who cheat at cards, dice, roulette, and the many other come-ons for the un wary. The nationally-famous "card shark's card shark" will appear in Memorial hall Sunday evening at 3 o'clock in a free program un der the auspices of Graham Me morial. The author of four books ex posing gambling rackets, "Mick ey" has as his themesong the simple thesis, "Gamblers don't gamble," which is also the title cf his most cccular bock. He is Parking Tickets Should Be Paid Students who receive traffic tickets for violation of the town and schools' parking regulations were warned yesterday by town officials to bring them immediate ly into the Chief of Police's office in the Chapel Hill Town hall, as instructed on the tickets them selves. Failure to do this resulted in fines for three University stu dents in the Recorder's court here yesterday. "Not only did these boys have to pay the court costs, but also the tickets' costs, amounting in these cases to $3 or $4," Clerk of Court Moody Durham explained. Di Senate Elects Officers Tonight The Dialectic Senate will hold a closed executive meeting ; to night at 9 o'clock in the Di hall in New West to conclude all bus- iness for this quarter and to elect its officers for the coming term. Charlie Long, Di president, said yesterday that all Senators must attend tonight's meeting to vote i"ct .' - clerk, treasurer, sergeant ai arms, chaplain, and debate council rep resentative. Shark Wil! Appear Free Demonstration games, but never plays since, as he said, "If I win they figure I put something over." The genial "professor of gambl ing" has never come across a card cheat he couldn't figure out. He can open a pack of cards into a fan, snap it instantly shut and remember exactly where every ace and king is placed in the pack. Not only can he deal himself a perfect hand, but he can make an opponent deal him a full house in poker. Today Mickey MacDougall is the only man in the country whose testimony as a gambling expert is acceptable in court. But he doesn't stop at cards. He will pay $10,000 if he can't spot a pair of crooked bone dice, load ed in the orthodox manner with tungsten amalgam, by their ratt le 30 feet away. Yet he's never Einbled in his Fluctuating Returns Make Final Outcome Difficult to Predict By Chuck Hauser With returns from Gcrrard hall lagging and reports from other polling places gradually being completed, not much could be told about the outcome of yester day's election at press time last night except "that Student party candidate Bill Mackie, leading with 531 votes, would undergo a runoff with Martin Carmichael. (UP) 479 for a seat on the Student council. Bob I la ire-(CP) followed up with 2U5. All tabulations are tin official at this time. Slack Uncontested Chick Slack (SP) rode into the other scat on the Student council uncontested following the dis qulification of Rita Adams (UP). Jim Taylor (SP) also took over a position on the Men's council after Bill Lyons (UP) had been disqualified. As late reports came in from Aycock, Lenoir, and Alderman polls, the SP predominated the balloting, but the town tabula tions, concentrated mostly in the Gerard hall ballots, were ex pected to swing UP. Remember Spring No predictions could be made by any of Elections board Chair man Al Winn's hard-working ballot counters or even the arm chair politicos who gathered in Graham Memorial's Horace Wil liams lounge to watch the count ing for last year's surprise spring election in which the SP predominated still hung in the minds of all. In the dormitory Student Leg islature voting, University party candidate Dan Loguc and SP nominee cnarne J-ieng lea ine fold, with others ranging from close behind to an almost im perceptablc tally. In the runoff balloting for ju nior class offices, SP coed Anne Wells was well ahead of Stan Fox (UP) in the Alderman dor mitory polling for vice-president and Bill Thorpe (UP) surged ahead of Dave Fcrebee (SP) for the social chairman ship. Aycock returns for freshman class runoffs showed William Bcnbow (UP) running neck-and-neck with Bill Swaim (SP) for the vice-presidential post, while Ted Leonard (CP) and Marvin Nathan (UP) were even-Steven for the position of secretary treasurer. Discriminations Aired at Meeting Discriminations embodied in national and local fraternity char ters were aired at the National Interfraternity conferences in New York City, last Friday and Saturday, said Leon Todd, who with fellow undergraduate Bob Nelson and Dean Fred Weaver represented the University at the meetings. Todd, president of the Interfra ternity council here, along with Nelson, attended the meetings of the undergraduate organization while Dean Weaver attended the graduate conferences. Both con ferences were held at the Commo dore Hotel. The resolution to do away with discriminations in fraternity charters was voted down, Todd said. The group decided to leave such action to individual national and local chapters. It was felt, he added, that no action on an interfraternity level would be ap plicable universally. The deans of men and student representatives from 161 colleges and universities were invited. Schools as far away as California and Washington sent representa tives. Todd added that the local IFC plans to meet with the interfra ternity councils of Duke, Wake Forest, and North Carolina State to v. crk cut various problems i
