State Student Legislators Pass Elections Bill, Subsidy Increase For All Instructors By Chuck Hauser t (Special to the Daily Tar Heel) Raleigh, April 17 The upper and lower houses of the State Student Legislative assembly ad journed shortly before 5 o'clock this afternoon after having pass ed 14 laws, resolutions and re peals. - The lower house of the 11 -year J old assembly, under the direction of Speaker Charlie Long, trium phantly wound up its last piece of business at 4:40 by abolishing the "gag rule" in the House of Representatives. The bill was passed by the Senate earlier in the day. One of the most controversial bills to come before the two as semblies was a measure to change the North Carolina elections laws. Passed overwhelmingly in. the Senate yesterday, it was, defeat ed in the House at about the same time; but when the bill Newly-Elected Coed Officers to Inauguarate Organizational Training Sessions on Tuesday Newly elected officers of all SSLrSSSTT'SS.Cups to Be Offered in Valkyrie Sing; Wednesday nights of this week at which speeches on general topics and informal discussions of particular offices will be held. All coeds are invited to attend the mass meetings in connection with the program, to be held in Graham Memorial's main lounge Tuesday at 7 o'clock, Wednesday at 5 o'clock, and Wednesday at 7.

New officers are especially urg ed to attend these meetings, will be followed by the informal discussions led by students who have held the positions to be dis cussed. Ruth Evans and Bill Lloyd will lead the discussion on presidents and vice-presidents; Julia Ross and .Betsy Ann isarDee, secre taries; and Marshall Spears dnd Helen Xanthos, treasurers, all on Tuesday night.

Ohio River Flood Hits Four States CINCINNATI, April 17 (UP) The flooded Ohia river tonight is nearing a predicted crest of 64 i . i - i f t i i I ana one-imra ieet nere ana at Newport, Kentuckey. Although the river level has been stationary at two-tenths of an inch below the expected crest, plans are being rushed to evacu ate families threatened by the raging waters. Weather bureau reports late this evening give little solace to those who had been hoping that the river would recede. Latest dispatches indicate a further rise before midnight. At Parkersburg, West Virginia, an ironic note was introduced as the waters temporarily crest- ed beneath a billboard at the river's edge. Ts'lfflB C3ew Provision for State-wide ABC Stores, Sales Tax on Luxuries Also Approved was brought onto the floor for reconsideration today the dele gates of the mock lower house approved it with a 46 to 30 vote. Advocacy of the measure by two Wallace-buttoned students from Duke university apparently had no effect of the passage of the measure today, because un expected sources from all parts of the floor began pointing out that the proposal would not only permit Henry Wallace to get his name on the state ballot with ease, but would allow guberna torial candidates such as Mayne Albright or Kerr Scott, if defeat ed in the primaries, to run for the post as independents. Approximately 200 delegates from 20 colleges and universities in North Carolina attended the two-day meeting which convened Oganizotions Here in Competition The annual Valkyrie Sing, spon- Schenkkan, of the Radio depart- sored by the highest women's honor society on campus, will be presented tomorrow evening in Memorial hall, immediately following the tapping of the Golden Fleece. The Sing, presents many cam pus organizations in competition for the silver loving cups. The groups which have entered are, Phi Kappa Sigma, Sigma Ku, Sigma Chi, Lambda Chi Alpha, Phi Delta Theta, Pi Lambda Phi, Delta Kappa Epsillon and Everett dorm. Pi Beta Phi, Delta Delta Delta, Chi Omega, Alpha Gamma Delta, Alpha Delta Pi, Sigma Alpha Iota, music sorority, Smith Dormitory and McIver dormitory Judges for the Sing are Robert Tickets Go Tomorrow students will be giv en the opportunity to buy a mem bership to the North Carolina Symphony Orchestra series at an all-time low price of $1, Dean Fred H. Weaver, chairman of the drive to help raise money to support the orchestra, reports. The orchestra will perform here next Friday, April 23, at Hill hall. Tomorrow, Tuesday, and Wed nesday tickets go on sale at the "Y". The lowest membership to the series is $2, but students can buy this same membership, which entitles the owner admittance to any concert by the orchestra, for $1. Tickets will go on sale at the door next Friday night to stu dents for $1.20, and to non-students for $2.50. Dean Weaver pointed out that any person holding a membership .card is entitled to attend any . i t. xt " concert given uy me v. ojiw- phony. Last season the orchestra performed 115 concerts in 53 cities and towns, and more than 100,000 children and 50,000 adults heard them. One of the principle objectives of the N. C. Symphony is to make available to people of the entire state the best in orchestra music, according to Dean Weaver. The North Carolina Symphony Orchestra, under Dr. Benjamin Swalin, receives a subsidy of $12,000 a year from the state. Other support is derived from a membership that numbers 13,00. the orchestra depended almost entirely on the services of volun- Ufa bars . . in the House chambers of the State capital and in the auditori um of an Episcopal church across the street, where the Senate sat after it was discovered at tho last minute that neiher the reg ular Senate chambers nor the Wake county court house were available. The student Capitol hill law makers also passed a bill today which grant 20 per cent salary increases to ah state public school teachers, but they were careful to amend it first to include profes sors and instructors in state-supported colleges and universities. To support the extra cost of the salaries to the state, the mock assembly passed another a mendment to provide for a one per cent sales tax on luxury items costing over $100. The tax was ment, Gene Stryker of the Music department, and Robert "Spike" Nelson, assistant pastor of the University Methodist church. The judges will rate the contestants as to music, orginality, and stage presence. Last year's winners were Phi Gamma Delta, in the men's group and Alpha Delta Pi in the women's group. Valkyries is the highest wo men's honorary society on the campus, its membership being limited to two per cent of the total coed enrollment. Member ship is based on outstanding leadership, sound judgement, character, unselfish service to the campus, and fine scholarship.

The Orchestra is directed by Dr. Benjamin Swalin. , teer players until the 1946 season when it gave 104 concerts, more than half of which were special, free programs for 73,000 school children. It was, therefore, nec essary for the orchestra to estab lish itself on a permanent and professional basis. Governor R. Gregg Cherry, inland to make an appropriation speaking of the orchestra has said, Temerrew Evening . Reaches Adjournment to be graded to provide for a three per cent cut when the price on the article reaches $1,000. Yesterday the assembly pass 3d legislation abolishing the three per cent sales tax in effect inthe state at present. Another important bill given the green light by the two as sembly houses was a measure to provide for state-wide alcoholic beverage control stores. The pro posal abolished county option and installed the new ABC set up without state -wide referen dum. The bill, introduced by dele gates from Catawba college, was brought to the mock General As sembly by Pfeiffer college, but the Pfeiffer delegates received last minute orders from their school administration that it would definitely be frowned up on if they were to introduce such a bill. Science Readers Will Reorganize Tomorrow Night A reorganizational meeting of the Carolina Science Fiction as sociation will be held tomorrow night at 9 o'clock in the Horace Williams lounge of Graham Mem orial. The association is a club com posed of students interested in speculative fiction, called "science fiction." These studies are based on science, usually speculative. "They are based on possibilities, not probabilities," explained Fred Burgess, member of the associa tion which has been inactive on the campus since fall. . "An example of this type of story," said Burgess, is the work of Jules Verne of H. G. Wells. In later years, however, names frequently associated with science fiction are Philip Wylie, A. E. van Vogt, Robern Heinlein and Willy Ley." An invitation to attend is also extended to fans of fantasy or the supernatural. "I am proud of the fact that North Carolina has a State Sym phony Orchestra, and I take especial pride in the fact that the Legislature of North Caro lina was the first in the nation to place an orchestra in its budget along with other state institutions for it." t I Student Leaders, Faculty Members Will Be Honored j By Charlie Cibion When the Order of the Golden Fleece, the University's highest honorary society for men, taps an undisclosed number of new members tomorrow evening at 8 o'clock in Memorial hall, the campus will get an opportunity to witness what is generally con sidered to be the University's most impressive ceremony. The doors to Memorial hall will be locked the moment the tapping services begin to avoid late com ers' spoiling the solemity and sus pense. To attend the tapping or the Valkyrie Sing which follows it immediately, the audience should be seated by 7:50.
