Models Featured In Carolina Mag I A bigger and better Carolina magazine is scheduled to be dis tributed over the campus today and tomorrow. Editor Fred Jacobson yesterday indicated that it will be four pages larger than usual and that a concentration on variety 'should- make it considerably better." Featuring Feme Hughes on the cover, a fashion spread with ten coed models, another campus quiz, and advice from successful Carolina alumni as to what, in college was most helpful to them, this issue should, Jacobson feels, qualify as the most variegated one to appear this year. The fashion spread occupies a prominent double page position in the middle of the magazine. Photography for it was handled by Francis Lavergne Johnson. The advice from alumni carries the answers to a series of ques tions submitted to graduates who have made names for themselves in business, politics and the pro fessions. It is titled "What About Tomorrow?" "A Length Beneath the Sky" by Sandy Grady is the outstand ing fiction appearing in the issue. It is an unusual treatment of midget auto racers and the men that drive them. ves First Indonesian Report; vaf ion From Capacity Crowd Yackety Yack staffers yester day sent the last of its 1948 Yack copy to "the engraver and an nounced that all but the printing of the 531 -page annual had been officially completed.

Graham won an ovation from a capacity crowd in Memorial hall Wednesday morning with his first public re port on his trip to Indonesia as an envoy of peace. The auditorium was filled to overflowing with many students, faculty members, and townspeo ple standing throughout the con vocation ceremonies to welcome Dr. Graham back to the campus. Deafening applause met the pres ident of the Greater University when Chancellor Robert B. House introduced him 'with assurance that, "we love him and we feel at our best when he is around." Di Praised Chancellor House also praised the Dialectic Senate for asking that Dr. Graham be presented in the regular University series. Charlie Long, speaker of the Di, presided over the program which the Reverend B. C. Cooper be gan with an invocation. Dr. Graham spoke very in formally on the problems he faced as the U. S. representative on a three-man Committee of Good Offices, appointed by the UN Security council to effect a truce between Indonesia and the Netherlands. He paid high tri bute to Henry Brandis of the University law school who ac companied him as a special ad viser and played an important role in treaty negotiations. Don't Breathe One of the most well-received incidents of the Graham speech came when "Dr. Frank," as he is affectionately called, explained that a "Good Officer" is not sup posed to have any public opin ions. "In fact, he is not supposed to breathe without permission of both governments." Tracing a brief history of In donesia, a "land of stubborn dikes and generous blood", Dr. Graham told how withstanding and then enduring Japanese in vasion in the last war had given the 70,000,000 people a feeling that they should be independent. He told of a somewhat vain re volution against the Netherlands that led the UN to step into the one-sided fracas as a last resort to stop hostilities. Rendezvous With Destiny Of the treaty finally reached to promise Indonesia indepen dence on January 1, 1949, Dr. Graham said, "In this truce and in these principles, the people of the Netherlands, the people of the Republic and all of the people of Indonesia have, under God, a rendezvous with a larger destiny of creative cooperation in a time and in a world in need of the best which these historic peoples can give together. Student Party The Student party has worked hard in drawing up this platform and feels that they are planks that effect the student body in every phase of activities. 1. Lower prices and better service at Lenoir Hall; attained by approaching the Board of Trustee's Visiting Committee and asking that Lenoir Hall be paid for by appropriation from the State Legislature. 2. Student-faculty study of cur riculum with the intent of bet tering said subject for more in teresting and more useful studies. 3. A fair, equitable, and pro portional redistricting bill due to the students under the Constitu tion. 4. Non-partisan and working judicial system, within which the student's power to appeal is not denied. 5. A telephone on every dormi tory floor or the . installation of a call system in all dorms.

It was the third time that the two candidates have appeared together on an open forum during the present campaign. Albright, Barker State Platforms Before CPU By Sam McKeel "Now is the time to give a death blow to a political machine that is dead and doesn't know it," Mayne Albright, Democratic gubernatorial candidate, said last night. Albright and Oscar Barker, Durham county's Democratic en try in the race, were guest speak ers on an open forum program sponsored by the Carolina Politi cal union. Underlying Issue "There are many issue in this campaign, but the underlying issue is politics itself. The real question before the people of North Carolina is machine con trol and whether elections are to be won by votes or dollars," said Albright. "The greatest roadblock in the way of progress in North Carolina is the state political ma chineflush with money, but bankrupt in vision and ruled by the dead hand of the past Albright stated that "under! machine control, North Carolina is moving backward instead of forward." Both Barker and Albright ad- Tony Pastor Band Will Provide Music For May Frolics Weekend, April 9, 10 The nationally famous orchestra of Tony Pastor will fur nish music for a concert and Frolics weekend here on April 9 and 10, yesterday announc ed Bob Beasley, president of the May Frolics and a member of the Zeta Psi fraternity. Both dances will be in Woollen Gym on the evenings of the ninth and tenth. The concert will be held in Memorial hall Saturday afternoon on the tenth. Pastor's popular aggregation is currently on a coast-to-coast tour which began with engage ments at New York's Paramount Theatre and The Hotel Pennsyl- vana. The tour will end at xne University Party The University party in order to better serve the interests of the student body does sincerely promise you that it will PROVIDE: 1. A better student entertain ment . program such as frequent "Y" Court dances and revival of Music Under The Stars, i 2. Student publications repre sentative of popular student o- pinion. GIVE: 1. Present students new dormi tory preferences over incoming freshmen. 2. Full consideration to student comments and suggestions plac ed in University Party Suggestion Boxes. PLAN: 1. A freshman chapel series. 2. A student Post Office. 3. A Student Bank. This platform was adopted not for wishful thinking but for practicability. vocate better roads, health, and public welfare. Barker said that if the services of government are evenly dis tributed in North Carolina, most of the state's problems will be solved. "Our public schools have been neglected to a point where the welfare of the children of the state is at stake. We have, like wise, failed to adequately recog nize the physical well being of our people," Barker said. Stale Failure He asserted that the primary reason surplus funds have accum- lated in the highway and general funds, has been the failure on the part of the state to keep the wages of school teachers and state employees' on a par with the inflated cost of living. Orange county is the 81st coun ty that Albright has visited on his present campaign tour, made in his trailer field headquarters, the "Challenger." Albright plans to conduct a whirlwind tour of re-visits and speeches during the ast two months of the campaign; two dances during the May ii'niiiii uTiSVt -ikiiMi ii mirr-ri iTi- " famed Palladium in Hollywood. Seven fraternities sponsoring the May Frolics are the original members of the German club. They are: Sigma Nu, Kappa Sig, DKE, SAE, Beta, Sigma Chi, and Zeta Psi. They constitute the to tal of 540 members of the May Frolics who have bids to the con cert and dances. Pastor's rise to fame began when he was a vocalist and saxo phone player with Artie Shaw. He left Shaw's band and organ ized his own. Now Tony Pastor is regarded as one of the great stylists in the music field. Com bined with his saxophone tal ents, the combination rates as a powerful force in dancing.

J 3c- A 5 Appellate Jurisdiction Amendment Is efeated As Body Passes Measure , To Put Unused Money Back In. General Fund By Chuck Hauser The appellate jurisdiction a mendment to the constitution was defeated by a strong negative vote of the Student Legislature last night. The amendment would have given the Student council sole power to try Honor code viola tion cases, the Men's and Wo men's councils sole power to try social violation cases under the Campus code and would have re moved the appeal system from student government if it had been, passed by the Legislature and afterwards ratified by the student body in Tuesday's gen eral elections. Weakened Government Proponents of the bill, Wo men's Honor council Chairman Donleen MacDonald, presidenti al candidate Jess Dedmond and former student body president Dewey Dorsett, argued that the present appeal system weakened campus government and the hon or system. Charlie Long, another presi dential candidate and former member and speaker pro tern of the legislative body, made a quick rebuttal to their statements on the grounds that the appeal sys tem had never been tried on the campus. "How Can We Know?" 'An appellate system has nev er been put into effect, so how can we know whether it will work or not?" Long asked, ex plaining that a correct appeal procedure had never been put into practice to determine wheth er or not it could work. Parliamentarian Pete Gerns at tacked the proposed amendment from another angle, pointing out that if the bill were passed, a faculty board of review would be the only appeal outlet to which a student could turn. Discussing a past run-in with Dean Carroll of the Commerce school, Gerns explained that he had transferred ,to the School of Political Science. "And if Mr. Dudley DeWitt Carroll were sitting on the board reviewing my appeal case, I would never have a chance!" Gerns charged. Following the constitutional amendment's defeat, Finance committee Chairman Ernie House presented a motion to establish definite rules of procedure for the appeal system, but the Legis lature would not vote to suspend the rules to bring the bill under consideration last night. Also passed last night was a bill which would cause nil unused portions of monies appro priated by the Legislature to campus organizations to be re turned to the general fund. Under new business, a bill was introduced by Fred Thompson to clarify the number of officers to be elected in all class officer elections on campus. Thompson withdrew his motion after Ed Davenport had offered a bill to provide for five officers in each class election: president, vice president, secretary, treasurer and social chairman. The bill twent to committee. Also sent to committee was a resolution proposed by Herb Alex ander to provide for a public "disapproval" of the actions of 'some persons involved" in Tues day night's anti-anti-UMT demonstration. Friendship Group To Entertain 150 Tomorrow afternoon and eve ning 150 freshmen from Women's college at Greensboro will visit the campus as guests of the Freshman Friendship council.

University Party Releases Candidates Seeking Student Council Positions The University party yesterday released the names of Student council candidates for Council Nominees May Use Publicity Candidates nominated for Men's council posts by the Non Partisan Selection board may put as much personal publicity as they please, up to their legal $10 limit, Elections Board Chair man Al Winn pointed out yester day. "Any publicity "the board handles," Winn stated, "will in clude the names of all the candi dates it nominated, but the in dividual nominees may disperse any personal publicity they wish, so long as the cost does not run over the $10 limit provided for in the elections laws."
