'A 1 IRC Convention Chooses Officers, Holds Seminars By Dan Wallace New officers for the Northern district of the Southeast region of the International Relations club were chosen here at the con clusion of the IRC conference yesterday. William Gibbons of Randolph- Macon college replaced John W. Bristow of UNC as president, John Fritz of William and Mary relinquished the vice-presidency to John Pritchard of Davidson, and Bill Patterson of UNC took over the post of secretary-treasurer from Jim Burwell also of UNC. It was decided at the conclu ding meeting yesterday that next year's conference will include schools from North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, and Tennessee, but no host club had been chosen as yet. Following are reports of the six seminars which vere held Friday and yesterday: Seminar 1, Near Eastern Na tionalism The three topics dis cussed were the Arab League, Palestine Partition, and the India Question. The first topic included a review of the seven states com- prising the Arab League and it was pointed out that the League was formed by Britain in order that, she might retain some of her former world power. Also, the League could be a threat to World peace if sufficiently or ganized economically and mili tarily. On the Palestine Partition, both the claims of the Arabs and I Jews were judged and a solution Morehead Planetarium Rivet Tosser Has Fireball Pitch That's Too Hot to Handle By Raney Stanford With the baseball season com ing on, the J. A. Jones Construc tion company now at work on the Morehead Planetarium has a fireball pitcher that Coach Bunn Hearn should look over. For Conrad "Dad" Teague, rivet tosser of the gang now engaged in clamping together the steel framework of the new art gallery and planetarium, literally has a pitch that is too hot to handle. Red-Hot Rivets Students are continually stop ping by the ience arouna the construction site to watch "Dad" making final preparations for the trip. He will leave by air some time next week, probably Wed nesday, with a number two priority. He is expected to return June 9. Grumman said a leave of ab sence was granted JViuner oy Chancellor House and President Graham. While he is in Japan, his post with the Communica tions Center will be filled by Mrs. H. S. Pendergraft, his secre tary. Return From Newton The orders for the trip came through only a few days after his return from Newton, N. C. where he taught an eight weeks course in audio-visual instruction, techniques and materials. Originally from Leesburg, Pennsylvania, Milner - graduated with an A. B. degree from Guil ford College and received his M. A. here. He has been director of the audio-visual section for 13 years and is also an associate director of the Extension division and a member of the advisory board of the Communications Center. to the problem, decided by a ma jority vote, was that the U. S. should defend the U. N. plan for partitionment, with force if ne cessary. In discussing the India Question, it was agreed that the struggle in India was internal and should be solved with as little outside intervention as possible. Seminar 2, European Recovery Plan The three, main points dis cussed were U. S. and a World Leader, Background and Pur pose of the Plan, and the Mar shall Plan. The "results were that the purposes of the U. S. in the plan are economic, humanitarian, and military. Debate of the sec ond point showed that the ERP is necessary in order to enable an economic stability in the coun tries subscribed to this plan. The members agreed that the Mar shall Plan is a gamble which may prove unsuccessful and that the U. S. should invest money in the ERP or into military prepared ness instead. Seminar 3, United Nations The group offered four proposals to strengthen the organizational structure of the U. N. Among these were proposals that the world court be given compulsory jurisdiction of justice and that an international police force be established to enforce the decis ions of this court. Seminar 4, Decline of Imperial ism in the Far East The rise of independent nations of the Far East is a contributing factor and (See IRC, page 4) nonchalantly toss the red-hot rivets across the length of the building's framework to the wait ing three-man crew and their air hammer. The coal-burning heater for the metal bolts sits on a wooden platform on the ground floor of the structure, but with the ham mer crew working at girder joints all over the building's skelton, "Dad" must pitch his fiery rivets from many angles and continually changing distan ces to Buckster Bill Ward, who catches Teague's glowing tosses and inserts them into the waiting girder hole. 100 Feet Maximum "Guess my top distance is about a hundred feet," the long experienced riveter commented as he poked up his soft coal fire. The rivet cooker says it takes about five minutes to get one up to the right degree of heat and ready for the hammer. After in sertion through the beams, Bucker" Bob Rush then slips on a steel die that clamps the beam and the rivet head together while Ray Miller leans on the hammer, bradding the point down tightly with 110 pounds of bucking air pressure. Construction men estimate that the air around the building should continue to be made hideous by the machine-gun-like hammer for about three weeks more, if good weather allows the work to progress according to schedule. NO KIDDING? There is a city ordinance to the effect that dogs must have license tags and collars or they will be picked up as vagrants. Mrs. A. M. Jordon, representa tive of the local SPCA states that they are having special trouble with the dogs from the trailer courts and Victory Village. Longhair News Need - a haircut? Graham Memorial may soon be able to fix it. The news came . yesterday after several people began wondering why the five green and -black barber chairs are stored down in the men's room of the student union building. According to GM Director Bill Shuford, the chairs are awaiting the re-establishment of the GM Barber Shop, a pre war concern which offered stu dents a clipping without clip ping the wallet quite so heavily. The five hydraulic chairs, maufactured by the Emil J. Paidar company of Chicago with cushions fashioned by Wheatly and Reade of Raleigh, will soon be moved into the present location of the Art Shop on the basement floojr. As soon as Shuford can se cure several barbers, the hair cut shop will be re-opened. Now that winter seems defin itely over, the reduced prices may prove good news to cam pus longhairs. Meanwhile, the chairs stand like motionless washroom at tendants, mid-way between the well, anyway, they're a long way from shampoo and cream oil. Summer Session Notices Mailed , Guy B. Phillips, director of the summer session, stated yesterday that 12,000 preliminary announ cements of the 1948 summer ses sion have just been distributee!, largely over the state and the South. The pamphlets of an nouncement contain information regarding application and eligi bility for admission, the gradu ate program, housing accomoda tions, and other subjects pertin ent to summer school work. The summer session will be di vided into two six-week terms, from June 10 to July 20, and July 21 to August 23 which will be the equivalent of a fourth school quarter. Arrangements have been made for adequate of ferings to both graduate and un dergradute students so they may continue with their regular work. The summer session schedule is still in process and the cata log is expected to be ready about the first of April. There will be pre-registration sometime dur ing the spring quarter for stu dents in school then so they may have a short vacation before summer school begins. As is customary, students now in school who expect to attend the summer session will have to make application for dormitory space early in the spring quarter. Katherine Carmichael, dean of women, and James E. Wadsworth, director of the housing bureau, are in charge of housing accom modations and will soon an nounce the date by which time students now in residence must apply for rooms.

During the spring quarter, the club plans to bring all the candi dates for the North Carolina Democratic gubernatorial pri mary to the campus to speak from the same rostrum. Need Apparent Carter, a native of Fayetteville, stated "The realization that other groups and organizations on the campus are presenting organized programs in behalf of other candidates and idealogies has made the need for a presenta tion of the program and platform of the Democratic party appar ent. It is the feeling of the club organizers that the students of this university should have the opportunity to learn of the past, present, and future of the Demo cratic party, and of the part it has played in North Carolina and the nation."

Segregation Read Here Clqrk Foreman, James Wise Talk ToWallacites By Gordon HuHines "There is no willingness to fight for even limited ad vances on the part of either major party," declared Henry Wallace in a speech written for the Tar Heel Students for Wallace assembly and deliver ed here last night by Sam Hirsch. "The choice they offer is between degrees of retreat, degrees of reaction, not degree of progress and advancement." SCHW President Wallace's speech was delivered by the Playmaki-r assistant busi ness manager at a public rally held by the Wallace student as sembly in Alumni building at ii o'clock. The rally also featured Dr. Clark II. Foreman, president of the Southern conference for Human Welfare and James W. Wise, national vice-chairman of the Progressive Citizens of America. Attacking Wall street, Wallace said, "We must act upon the fundamental premise that a strong and democratic America cannot be built while one third of our people who live in the South, Negroes and whites alike, remain the common victims of an oppressive economic, political, and social system. For years Wall street has been exploiting the resources and people of the South. It has had willing hire lings here in the South who have set white against Negro and Negro against white. While. Negro Voles "The 1918 election, he said, "must see the greatest outpour ing of Southern whita ani Negro voters in history." The Wallace message con demned racial and religious predjudices and critized segre gated schools. "Racial and re ligious discrimination in America, in any form, must go," the third party candidate stated. "We who oppose race and religious hate too long have been on the de fense. It is time to take the of fensive", he declared. Suspicion and Haired On the non -segregated school system in the South Wallace said that there can be no "equality of educational opportunity" in segregated school. Claiming that the system is "intended to de liberately maintain suspicion and hatred between Negro and white" Wallace stated that Congress and the Supreme Court must dis card the doctrine 6i "substantial equality." "It will take immense courage to challange Jim Crow," he said "but the time to strike is now."
