Coed Miriam Evans, president of South dormitory, is chairman of the woman's division of the campuswide March of Dimes campaign which begins in dormi tories, fraternity and sorority houses on Monday. Miss Evans, or Ashevilie, is a journalism student and a staff member of the Daily Tar Heel which is sponsoring the drive again for the fifth year. She will supervise the soliciting of soror ity houses and woman's dormit tories during the five-day period, ending Friday. : Slogan for the 1943 campaign is "Twice the money in half the time," announced Chairman Bar ron Mills, editor of the DTH. At a meeting of all dormitory, fraternity and sorority promotors of the campaign on Thursday night, Mills said, a goal was set for twice the amount collected last year. In 1947 the chairty to combat infantile paralysis re ceived $1,600 from the University drive in two weeks' time. Money collected was used to purchase an iron lung, now in -use in Alamance county. It is 'hoped that the forthcoming drive will provide enough funds to pur chase two more of these iron lungs. At present, Mills said, there are no cases of infantile paralysis in Orange county.

The hero of the European war announces once and for all that he won't run for the presidency. He put his statement in words that cannot be misunderstood when he said flatly, "I am not available." Then he added, "I could not accept nomination even under the remote circumstances that it were tendered to me." His reason is equally as sim pie. He does not think profes sional soldiers hvae any business in politics. Eisenhower made his with drawal in a lengthy letter to Leonard Fidner, publisher of the Manchester, New Hampshire newspaper and an ardent Eisen hower supporter. The unassuming chief of staff points out that up to now he has refused to make a bald statement that he would not accept the nomination. He did this, he says, because he did not wish to appear to be unwilling to serve his country This refusal to make a flat state ment, says Eisenhower, has been Coin containers will be placed in the Scuttlebutt, the .-Army store, the "Y" soda fountain, and in Lenoir hall. the University Band said here today that it . was suggested that perhaps band directors all over the state would be interested in such a clinic and that when the University offered to hold it, "the response was tremendous all the way from Waynesville to the coast."

Prize for the best editorial inJ he daily division went to H. W. Kendall, Greensboro Daily News or his critique entitled "Of Life .nd Death." The editorial is con cerned with the recent execution of five criminals in North Caro lina who were convicted of mur der. Kendall wrote, "We would truly get somewhere if the fac tors and the forces which inter vened into the making of those five capital offenders who went 'to their deaths had been execu ted along with them." The edi torial went on to constructively criticize the defects of capital pun ishment as a force of prevention.

But others are uncertain. The heads of the New Hampshire Eiseriow er-For-President committee have gone into a huddle to decide what to do. Some backers have taken the general at his word. Ohio sup porters, for example, announce that they'll abide by the gener al's decision. In Chicago, a leader of the Ike-for-President movement, Bruce !

The Duke University quartet entertained the group with vocal selections. (See IKE, Page 4) Wordless Creep Merely Stands The "creep just stood there. "What's your name, Mac?" The creep just stood there. "How long have you been here?" likewise brought no .answer. No one knew who he was, where he came from, or how long he had been standing in front of Graham Memorial, but mcny students wondered, up on leaving the student union building when it closed at 11 o'clock, why the same figure was still there that had been leaning against the same pillar when they entered earlier in the evening. He wouldn't say anything and he wouldn't move. But every once in a while the cor ners of his mouth would look like they were trying to curve up into a grin. He was possibly 20 years old, dark hair, and had on a heavy overcoat as protection against the chilly night air. The only signs of life about him were brought on by the query, "Have you been here since be fore 6 o'clock?'' This occasioned an almost imperceptible shake of the head. "Since after six?" caused an equally imperceptible nod. At least one fact had been estab lished. A faint shrug of the should ers ioaowea tne question 01 how long he intended to stay there. A few more futile probes. and the interview with the creep was terminated. Graham Return Due February 1 President Frank P. Graham of the Greater University is expected to return to this coun try by February according to information receiver here by Mrs. Graham. The Stale department called Mrs. Graham Thursday to in form her of the date of her husband's return. He has been in the Netherlands East Indies serving as a representative of the United Nations Good Offi cers committee. Dr. Henry P. Brandeis, a member of the law school fac ulty who accompanied Graham is expected to return about low or three days in advance of the president. The Carolina Political union was notified late yesterday afternoon that Carroll Reece, chairman of the Republican national committee, would be unable to fulfill his commit ment to speak in Gerrard hall next Tuesday evening. In a tele gram to CPU chairman Bill Kemp, Recce's secretary, Ben Whitchurjt, notified the Union that ."Duo, to unexpected develop ments Chairman Recce must can cel all speaking engagements for the remainder of January." . "Mr. Recce exceedingly regreti disappointing you, but is iure you will understand and invito him a a later date," the wire con cluded. Kemp said that only the day before Reece had written him. stating that he was very happy for the opportunity to come down to Chapel Hill, and would speak on the topic, "The "Future of tha Republican Party in the South." Expressing his personal regret hat the speech had to be can celed, Kemp said the Union will request another speaking date from the national GOP head af ter their meeting tomorrow night. Recce had expected to be flown down to Chapel Hill by his avia-trix-daughter. In the meantime, two other speakers, both national political figures, have tentatively accept ed speaking engagements here in the near future, and these will be released when definite word has been received. The Union will meet tomorow evening in the Grail room of Graham Memorial at 8 o'clock to discuss the question of infla tion and taxes. Jim Southerland will present the topic. It is generally believed that Gilbert, of the Gilbert and Sulli van team, was completely tone deaf. . Radio Links Family 7,000 Miles Apart MADISON, Wis. (UP) Maj. Shirley G. Blencoe, stationed in Korea, talked to his 2 M -year-old son lor the first tune over a 7,000 mile span by short wave radio. But all little Jimmy could find to talk about was the jeep ride that his dad had promised in his letters. Russell Morris, Madison, had picked up Blencoe's short wave call from Korea accidentally. The amateur radio technician then ar ranged for the two-way radio conversation between Maj. Blen coe and his wife and son. . GM Initiates Entertainment Service For Use of All Campus Organizations An idea that started out last week with two singers and a pair of dance acts yesterday snowballed into us own as an in formal entertainment bureau for students.

In fact, out of the University en rollment of more than 7,000 there are less than 400 students who are active members of any cam- Director of such organizations as the Phi, Di, CRIL, CPU, and CCUN to contact non-participating stud ents in an effort to get a turn out for extra-curricular activi ties. Shuford says that he believes there are many people on cam pus who wish to join campus groups and would if given a lit tle encouragement. The other knotty problem the SA committee faces is the es tablishment of a central bureau reau, with the cooperation of va rious campus organizations, could schedule speakers and student entertainment programs so that indecisive souls would not be faced with the prospect of attend ing a playmaker production, a tennis match, or a meeting of the Chapel Hill Communist party all on the same night. Shuford says this system would also prevent duplication of speakers on the campus and help eliminate the embarrassing situations caused when a prominent speaker walks out on the platform, only to be greeted by a mere 20 or 30 listeners. type of social gathering. The idea was built up after over 300 students jammed the Rendezvous last Friday to see the floor show Barbour had gotten together for the evening. . The show, which was originally to have lasted only 20 minutes, went on for some 70 minutes, so strong were the cries for encores. 'I found out from that crowd the other night the campus js truly entertainment hungry," said Barbour. "We have quite a bit of talent of all types lined up for the Rendezvous shows, so it seems natural we should try to spread this around the campus more." Any organization desiring en tertainers, or assistance in plan ning entertainment, may secure this by calling Graham Memorial. For recognized campus organiza tions no charge will be made for "We're glad to send put enter tainers to anything from1 tea- parties to stag parties," said Bar bour. "But, out of courtesy to the entertainers, there should always be a good audience." An array of talent too long for listing is available from Graham Memorial. Though the service was only begun Thursday, a call as already been answered to furnish a master-of-ceremonies and vocalist for an affair tonight. i 1
