' 7 .7Z Research, Finance Bills Voted Out The Studemt Legislature, in its final meeting of the quarter last night, defeated a bill authorizing the establishment of a research committee to study Communism and make periodic reports to the student body. Privileges of the floor were extended to Tom El ler, president of the student body, who said that the majority of the people who had talked to him about the bill were opposed to it. The Finance Committee gave an unfavorable report on a bill to ap propriate money to World Stu- dent Service Fund on the erounds that it was unconstitutional. The resolution was deteated. A bill to send two delegates to the National Student Association regional assembly at Lynchburg College this weekend was approv ed. Nominations for these posi tions were then made. Charlie tHowe' anoTP'ete Gef ns were" select ed to represent the University at this assembly. It was brought out in the discussion that Johnney Clampitt and Herman Baker are regional officers for the Associa tion and will also be attending the meeting. Ernest House introduced a bill to count legislators absent if they are not present for a roll call made at any time during a ses sion. After much discussion, the measure was passed by a vote of 13 to 12. A second bill pertaining to leg- islative procedure was passed re - quiring that one copy ol tne Din must go to the clerk and another to the speaker when it is intro duced. It also stated that a num ber would be placed on the bill to make the filing system more? accurate. 'Dan The Dog' Found By Chuck Hauser ' J A missing Carolina tradition, a lost chapel Hill landmark and tJle onetime constant companion of seepy g o'clock classers has Trill since. The latest indication of the whereabouts of the disappearing dog points south. The following letter came to the home of the Wileys a few days ago: Mr. Dan Lee Wiley, Dear Sir, .

Long, Zucker Picked To Fill 1948 Offices Of Dialectic Senate - - The Dilectic Senate, Meeting Wednesday in closed executive session until midnight, picked its slate of officers for the next term a slate re-electing Charles O. Long and John Zucker as Di president and president pro-tem-pore, respectively. Long and Zucker have already served in the Senate's two high est positions this past quarter. Their re-election came with a commendation for the work that has been done on renovating the Di hall in New West, reorganiz-' ing its reference files, procuring more adequate office furniture, and bringing constructive bills j to the floor for discussion in the group's weekly Wednesday night forums open to the public.

Thanks, (signed) Walter Arrant 314 Roughiemer Ave North Charleston, S. C. The letter was scrawled in pen cil, the letter painfully inscribed. The ten-year-old setter was able to lose himself very successfully, but he still hung on to his leather collar, upon which a brass plate proclaims him to be "Dan." A second line on the plate lists "Lee Wiley" as his master, and a third states that "Chapel Hill" is his home. Prodigal Problem And "Chapel Hill" is where the Wileys want Dan to be. The prob lem now confronting them is how to get the prodigal from Charles ton to here. They have sent out a plea asking students and towns people who know of anyone com ing here from Charleston anytime in the immediate future to get in touch with them. Dan, the favorite subject and beer-drinking companion of for mer Daily Tar Heel columnist Jul Kinberg, is wanted at home.

Dr. Rice to Address Jewish Group Tonight Melvin Sternberg, a student from Montgomery, Alabama, will conduct, the Jewish services Fri day evening at 7:30 in Roland Parker lounge. Guest speaker for the evening will be Professor O.K. Rice of the Chemistry department who ml speak on "Political Implica tions ci Atcsus power." mm m fmbl mm ) By Raney Stanford A new plan to end the crit ical traffic problem on the University campus was adopt ed by the Safety and Traffic committee this week, with the hope that student obeyancc and cooperation will brinjj about the long-awaited re sults. Ernest House, student chair man of the committee, pointed out that some 1.400 student drivers or more, daily endeavor to squeeze their cars into around 620 available parking spaces on the campus. The constant con fusion brought 011 by the search for space is the crux of the prob lem that faces this cotnittee of faculty and .student representa tives. "Now, for the purposes of our plan, we have 'squared' off the central 'part of the town and University," House explained. "There are 083 students owning cars in this zone, and wc are asking them to leave their cans at their dormitories, fraternities, or trailer residences, and walk to class." This "walking zone" is defined by chairman Ilquse as a rectang ular segment of the city bounded on the North by Rosemary street, on the East by Boundary street and Country Club road, on tlm South by Raleigh road, Universi ty drive and Vance street, and on the West by Ransome and Mal lette streets. With 683 cars out of the campus lots this should leave a slim suf ficiency of parking spaces for the 590 vehicles driven by stu dents who live outside the inner , zone. The committee also asks these 590 drivers, including 165 out-of-town commuters, to leave their cars in one place each day, and not drive them from class to clas as many have done in the past. House expressed the confidence the committee holds in the practi cality of this scheme, but warned that the seriousness of the prob lem calls for some tti'jtion, and the committee is prepared to take more forceful measures. "However, if full cooperation from 'the students is given to the plan, we believe that it will ease the situation considerably and the committee wil not have to take any other action," he con cluded. Other work accomplished at this session of the committee included a recommendation to the Uni versity that a traffic light be in stalled at the corner of Raleigh and Cameron streets. House re ported the school's business office is now making arrangements to put the light in place. Thorcz Virtually Advocates Civil - War to Strikers Paris, France, Dec. 5 (UP) Maurice Thorez, head of the French Communist party, an nounced a virtual declaration of civil war while speaking before 50,000 striking miners in northern France today. He said, "The: working classes and the people of France have chosen battle." He went on, saying that the workers' demands had been pushed aside on the orders of American capi tal, the government was refusing to honor the workers legitimate claims, menacing them and their leaders, and entering into war with the union , organizations. Thorez stated further, "The work ers realize the gravity of the hour, and they are committed to strug gle to defend their bread, their union liberties, the right to strike . . . and to defend the republic . Meanwhile two strikers were killed at Valence in another clash with police as 2,000 demonstrators fought French authorities for con trol of the Valence railroad sta tion. Further Communist-led vio lence took place in Marseille and Nice but armed guards and tanla are now patrolling the streets to preve wire cuwre.s. t
