He founded and toured with the Kolisch Quartet until joining the Pro Arte Quartet. Albert Rahier, second violinist, was a pupil at the Royal Con servatory of Music in Liege and under Eugene Ysaye.

Jan. 13 (UP) Doc iors of Editor Josephus Daniels of the Raleigh News and Obser ver say there has been no change in is condition this even ing. The World War I Secretary of the Navy is still hanging on in his fight against pneumonia, but Dr. Hubert Haywood says there is no hope. "Only a very strong heart and great vitality are keeping him alive," accord ing to Haywood. The elder Daniels attended the University of North Caro lina in 1884 and 1885 and was awarded an honary law degree there in 1914. Loss of Miller Stunning Blow By Moriy Schaap Carolina's cage fortunes were dealt a severe blow last night when first-team for ward Bill Miller was ruled in eligible for further competi tion by the Faculty committee on Eligibility of the University The committee said that is dis covered that Miller had stacked up quite a bit of time with East ern Kentucky Teacher's college before he was called in service in March 1946. The committee has ruled that since he was not in service before August 14, 1945, he does not meet conference re gulations. It seems that Miller's eligibil ity slip had been cleared through the department of Intercollegiate athletics earlier in the season But only now was it brought to light that under Artcile VII of the By-laws and Rules of Eligi bility Applicable to All Sports, that any man who entered the armed services after August 14, 1945, shall come under the rule of a transfer student and thus be ineligible for any sport he had competed in at another in stitute of higher learning. Miller, a 6 foot, 3 inch sopho more trom Williamsburg, Jiy., came to the University from Fort Benning, Ga., where he had been a member of the post team. The lanky Kentuckian has been a mainstay for the Phantoms under the "" boards all year.". "Yesterday's sour note came just 24 hours af ter he had hit his best offensive night of the season when he bag ged 13 points in the game against Wake Forest. Miller is also a standout baseball and track man. Coach Tom Scott had little to say about the case as he prepared to lead his team to New York for their Thursday night'sgame with undefeated NYU in Madi son Square Garden. Miller will make the trip with the team. Scott's final words before he left were, that he was not a bit (See NYU, Page 3) Iva Kitchell, Piano Quartet Will Not Appear Here, States Harland Dance satirist Iva Kitchell and the Philharmonic Piano quartet will not play the Un iversity of North Carolina this year, according tor Dr. J. P. Harland of the almost-still- in-existence Student Entertain ment committee. Telephone connections between Chapel Hill and New York se vered the Iva Kitchell contract, although according to Harland, the NCAC agents were "reluct ant" about it. Agent Here A representative of Columbia Concerts, agents of the Piano quartet, was in Chapel Hill yes terday to arrange the dissolution of their contract with Dr. Har land. According to student body Pres ident Tom Eller, the Entertain ment committee has not'been dis-! solved, and in all probability will not be disposed of in the near future. Eller has appointed a new member to the committee, J. Strong, to replace Jack McBride, former student chairman who did not return to schol this quarter.

Attempted Break From State Pen Results in Death Raleigh, Jan. 13 (UP) One of two prisoners who tried to escape from Central Prison at here today has been placed in solitary confinement after his companion in the attempted dash for freedom died of a broken neck when he slipped from the rain-soaked prison wall. The prisoner who died was Elmer C. Turner, a 38-year-old ife termer from Kannapolis. ; Hosea Parker, a 32-year-old Negro from Magnolia, successf ul- y climbed the wall and squeezed under high voltage wires at the top. When he reached the other side he encountered a prison guard and was returned to soli tary confinement. Parker escaped by the same method in 1946 but was back in prison a few days later. Turner was serving a life term for- kidnapping plus terms for murder and highway robbery. Police Search for Stolen Automobile While Student- Rides Cabs to Classes Chapel Hill and Durham police were still keeping a sharp eye out last night in a stolen-car search which has hus far prover fruitless. ' In the meantime student Edwin Tenney, Jr.. and his wile are walking and riding taxicabs back, and forth be tween their home in Carrboro and the campus. The car, a black tudor 1940 De Soto sedan, was stolen from the parking lot behind the YMCA around 3:30 Monday afternoon after Tenney had left the keys Trials and Tribulations of Magazine Editor Revealed as 'No Bed of Roses' by Jacobson By John Slump Editor Fred Jacobson of the r 'i r-r lino maffa7inp nnps 1 1 1 1 1. iiivl xvo: : .fyy".

The cost to us, and indirectly to the student body, of such a feature would be upwards, of 1,000 per page. Of course, we would like to carry such a feature, but it is a fi nancial impossibility." He went on to outline some of his more painful headaches in curred as a result of trying to run a $10,000 enterprise on a $7,000 appropriation. "We make up the difference in advertising." Hall, New he explained, dui pression that while not a shoe string venture, publication of the mag on such a limited budget must have its trying moments. However, according to Jacob son, technical difficulties an all inclusive phrase that can refer to anything from publication de lays due to lackadaisical printers to color covers in which the red is printed on the characters nose rather than on her face run financial worries a close second. "The average student", he re lated, "has no idea of the work that goes into the make-up of an ordinary 3-color cover." He went on to explain that for these covers a separate plate must be made for each color. This, in turn, entails making up 3 separate designs with each color appearing alone on one of them. An interesting fact revealed during our discussion of the pro cess was that in order to make one detail of a cover stand out. the wrong color is used. Thus, the cover of a recent mag issue had a student's face printed as blue rather than white. We had noticed the student, but until pointed out, the unusual color had escaped our scrutiny. Regarding advertising, Jacob son used the Pepsi Cola adver tisement as an example. "Severa persons have commented to me on that one", he told us, "and each one has criticised it as ap pealing to only the morons class of people supposedly ab sent from college campuses. But the point is that they have noticed it. Some advertising is designed to irritate" We commented that that being the case the Pepsi Cola ad must be very successful, "Another type of advertising is Kapp's. It is intended to appeal to the reader," he commented, "and incidentally their advertis ing has been a mutually satisfac tory arrangement." . On this first happy note, Jacob- son relaxed a little and smiled. However, as we were leaving, we noticed him reaching for a pack age of Stanback as another prob- era came to his attention. And he whispered the under statement of the week "It's no bed of roses", breathed Fred Jacobson, editor of the Carolina mag. in the ignition switch when he parked it there. While law enforcement officials generally frown on the practice of leaving kej'S in a car, and per sons are fined in some localities for doing so, Tenney declared that he "thought we had an honor system here." He does not believe a student stole it, however. The car carries 1948 North Ca rolina liscence plate no. 259-163, and no. 334 University student sticker on the windshield. Chapel Hill police sent out a radio alarm on the theft Monday evening, but no word has been received on the vehicle yet. "As long as I have lived in Chapel Hill," declared Tenney, I have never known of anyone hav ing a car stolen." The local police department did not corroborate this statement, however, but pointed out that an automobile stolen almost two months ago from Chapel Hill has not been heard of since. Handbook Editor Will Be Selected Barbara Cashion, Speaker of the Coed Senate, announced at a recent Senate meeting that the editor of the Women's Handbook will be selected this quarter. All coeds who are interested in the position should submit a letter of application, containing information of previous publica tion experience, especially editor- al, to Barbara Cashion in 303 Alderman. The editorship will be awarded by a vote of the Sen ate. The handbook, which is the only publication containing coed social rules and regulations, is sent to new coeds during the summer before they enter Caro lina. In addition to presenting rules to the new students, the handbook presents a historical sketch of the University. House to Speak to Di Senate At Installation of Officers Robert B.

Pro's Embarrassed The case of the recalcitrant Playmakers' safe had a sequel today. An amateur embarrassed the pro's by getting it open. The safe, one stored here by the Navy, was transferred lo Playmakers headquarters i n Swain hall Monday. But there its unknown combination baf fled all attempts lo open.il. Lock experts from Ihe Build ings department were called in and spent fruitless hours trying lo discover Ihe combination. Finally an S-O-S lo any gentle man in Ihe educated-fingers profession was printed in the DTH. Yesterday, however, Iwo per serving lock-pickers from Ihe Buildings department tried a gain. Armed with an electric drill Ihey worked all morning on the obstinate object. At din ner lime they gave up in dis gust. Then yesterday afternoon James Geiger, a student actor from Miami, Florida, gave il a try. For two hours he iusseled with the tumblers, finally learn ed Ihe combination and pres to, Ihe job was done. Bui there was a secret be hind me amateur s success. Geiger's father is a locksmith, and Jim grew up cracking safes. Prior to House's speech, Charlie Long will deliver a brief inaugur al address after taking the oath of office as president of the Di for his second term. Long will discuss the present status of the Senate and its extensive plans for the forthcoming quarter. Following the meeting, there will be an informal reception in the Di hall in order that the Sen ators present might meet Chan cellor House. John Gaskin of Albcnnarle was elected treasurer of the par ty, the post vacated by Childress. The new chairman, a junior majoring in political science, is a former member of the Student Legislature and the prese nt critic of the Di Senate. Good Student Government "It is my purpose," .stated Childress yesterday, "that every interested member of lh' Sludt iit parly shall participate in it.; policies and program. I hclievj firmly that each member should know what our patty stands for and what we believe good stu' dent government means." Nominations for the post of president of the student body wort made Monday . evening at what has been called by party spokesmen a "spirited"' meeting. These nominations have been re ferred to the steering committee for further consideration. Meeting Tonight The party will meet again this evening at 7 o'clock in 101 Alum ni building. One item of business will be the election of a new steering committee and the re maining party officers. Chair man Childless urged all party members and other interested students lo attend. Dr. Glen Haydon Attends Meeting Dr. Glen Haydon, head of the music department, represented the University at the 23rd annual meeting of the National Associa tion of Schools of Music held recently at the Hotel Statler, Boston, Massachusetts. Also at tending from Chapel Hill were Jan P. Schunbar and William S. Newman. Recognized as the only accre diting agency for schools of music in the United States, the association numbers among its members more than 170 music schools throughout the nation. Highlight of the convention was an address by Dr. Howard Hanson, director of the Eastman School of Music, in which he made a plea for a return to the creative approach to the arts, urging colleges and universitiei to become a sanctuary of the arts and the creative spirit of nan. The association adopted a re solution against the proposed ban on recordings, staling that such a ban would deprive schools of music of one of their most essential tools in the teaching of music, and that the basic eco nomic problem involved cannot be solved merely by discontinu- ng the making of recordings.
