Madry Since shrimp swim easily and there are no fences in the ocean, you might think they would be wandering widely over the seven seas. But they don't. They are not everywhere. Like human beings, they have their favorite haunts. Down in Louisiana several years ago, snennsn expei is un covered after much investigation, that thc shrimp in that area, once they had passed the breeding stage, retired to a ceriam arw where they spent the rest ot their lives. These snnmp were found to be bigger and fatter than the others and consquently more desirable. $64 Question Shrimp seem to be in certain regions at certain times, but where? That's thc $G4 question that thc recently organized In stitute for Fisheries Research and rwrloDmcnt of the University, in cooperation wun uh. oia- nnrtment of Conservation ana Development, is going to attempt to answer in the near future, as far as the North Carolina coast is concerned.

Presiding justice Jo Fischel is chairman of the YWCA Public Affairs committee, sponsors of the program. The jury will be impaneled from coeds attending the trial. Presecuting attorney E d i e Knight will attempt to prove that the negligence of the South has served to pull down the standards-of the, country -in ed ucation, political integrity, and economic well-being. Defense at torney Pat Carruthers will at tempt to show that the causes of low standards in the South can be traced to events over which the South had little con trol, such as the plantation sys tem established by early English settlers, and the Civil War and the reconstruction period follow ing it. .The defense will also point out ways in which these condi tions can be and are being rem edied.

Emphasizing a point that the old-line parties have left the people no other choice but to organize a new party, if only to register a protest vote against their policies, Mrs. Friedland stated that it is possible to elect a progressive group of Wallace upporters in Congress in 1.948. She said this would insure a balance of power for the people.

Large Schooner Secured For the shrimp survey the In stitute has been fortunate in se curing rent free a large seagoing schooner, the "Reliance", a Navy vessel on lease lo the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution.

Louis Hardee of Southport, a member of the Commission, re cently went to Woods Hole to examine the 85-foot craft which is expected to arrive in More head by the middle of February. They reported the Navy boat is equipped with scientific equip ment needed for the survey, val ued at several hudred thousand dollars. Sleeping facilities of the boat will be expanded to accomodate i'6 persons.

Dance Committee Talks Trimmings Plans for a set of permanent, decorations to be available to all legitimate dance sponsoring or ganizations at Carolina were con sidered by the University Dance committee at a meeting held Thursday night. No final decision was reached during the discussion, although representatives of the adminis tration were present to olTcr their cooperation in the purchase of thc decorations. Also present were representatives of thc dance spon soring organizations who were called in for their opinions of the advisability of the move. According to Gus Johnston, chairman of the committee, under the plan decorations for both the rvu's and women's gymnasiums would be purchased and retained for re-use. This would save mon ey for all of the organizations concerned, he: said. If thc plans are carried through, the gyms will bc permanently wired, and the necessity for mak ing new arrangements for each dance would be obviated. The equipment would, Johnston point ed out, not be kept in the gym, but could be stored here ready for use when needed. The only apparent drawback would be the similarity between the decorations used at vario is dances. The D'inrc committee aho de cided at the meeting to tighten up the enforcement of the dance rules. Although this stricter en forcement will apply to all of the regulations, one committee mem ber staled that it would apply particularly to the regulations pertaining to alcohol consump tion.
