Communists Lose In Italian Voting Rome, April 20 (UP) Al most complete unofficial election returns today showed that the democratic Italian government of Premier De Gasperi has won a surprisingly great victory over the Communists at the polls. Tonight, De Gasperi, backed by this thumping victory, told the Communists that they would have no part in Italy's new govern ment. The Pre'mier said, "I ex clude the possibiliyt of collabor ation with the Communists. Ex perience has shown us this is impossible." The Christian-Democrat vic tory, the size of which still has, the entire world amazed, was so great that even the left-wing So cialists have conceded the victory. But with the t anti-Communist share of the vote now standing at 67 per cent, rumors continue to flow, of a possible leftist up rising in the Northern cities. Government forces, anticipat ing "any eventuality," number 400,000 and appear ready to hand le any trouble. Village Traffic The Victory Village commit tee has passed an ordinance re routing traffic through Jack son circle. Wer.uel Wood, sheriff of the Villago, announced yesterday that the committee's decision calls for placing one-way signs around the circle which would route all traffic through the circle clockwise. Wood said that the parking system will remain the same, Hot Water Facilities Limited Because of Coal By Dan The effect of the coal strike most of the nation, and the hard touched, asserted J. S. here yestefday. The coal shortage has forced the University to resort to re stricting measures in the use of fuel- in order to cope with the present situation. The lack of fuel is the answer to numerous complaints showered upon the dormitories manager, Bill Smith, about the absence of hot water in the dormitories after 11 o'clock at night and early in ne morning. Queried about the details of the hot-water shortage, Bennett explained that the hot-water boilers in the dormitories, norm- ally operating 24 hours per day, have been put on a schedule of operation during the past few weeks that has curtailed normal operating' time more than two thirds in order to conserve the scarce supply of fuel. Bennett rectified the situation somewhat yesterday by ordering that the steam in the hot-water boilers be kept up long enough to allow hot water up to midnight. He said that the reason hot wa ter is sometimes scarce in the mornings is that the ures nave to be built again after being cut off the previous night and this results in the boilers taking a long time to become heated. Another result of the coal shortage is that the University power plant, out of coal for thirty days, has been forced to purchase power from the Duke Power company in order to con (See HOT WATER, page 4) Two o'Clodc in the Morning Finds Kyser Taking Quick Break for Bite to Eat Kay Kyser, the Ole Professor himself, showed up in a very strange place yesterday morning. After a grueling day of judg ing cheerleader aspirants in Ke nan stadium and being re-tapped into the Golden Fleece in Me morial auditorium, the. Tar Heel bandleader, everyone on campus figured, would be in bed getting a good night's rest. But he wasn't, for a 2 o'clock yesterday morning he strolled in to Ptomaine's with Earl Wynn of the Radio department for a late bite to eat. Kay hardly expected the barrage of Daily Tar Heel questions that were going to be thrown at him a few minutes later. "What do I think of the campus this year " the Professor of Mu sical Knowledge asked.

I haven't noticed any par ticular changes." About the Golden Fleece tap ping, he declared, "It was very impressive. And that certainly was a beautiful plaque they gave me. It was hand-carved by Carl Boetcher, the wood-carver who's doing the animals for the Mono gram club fountain. He surely is a wonderful craftsman." Asked how long he was going to be in Chapel Hill, Kay re plied, "I'll be around most of to day, but I'll be headed toward Raleigh sometime in the after noon. I've got a little job to do over there pick out 'Miss Stu dent Nurse of 1948.' Wish I had jobs like that to do all the time . . ." And with, that he sauntered out the door. Mock UN Assembly Surveys Czech Coup By Charlie Craves In a mock UN session which was apparently loosely planned, Junius Scales asserted last night that the recent Communist coup in Czechoslovakia had the sanction of a majority of the Czech people, The question argued by the various groups was whether the UN should investigate the present situation in Czecho slovakia. Six delegates voted for the investigation, two a- ; " gainst it and one abstained.

Scales and John Myers, who rep- sented the' Wallace club. Scales Speaks At the meeting held in the Di assembly room in New West, Scales, . chairman of the local Communist group, advanced the following three premises ' con cerning the Red government in the Czech nation: (1) That the elections held previous to the in stallment of the present govern ment indicated that such a change was the will of the people. (2) That the events were strictly an internal affair. (3) That the change benefited the people. "Agressor is U. S." Scales further stated that "real foreign agression is by President Truman and the State Depart ment. The great lie of our time," he said, "is that the Communists are Russian agents. There were Communists 70 years before the Revolution. There are Commun ists in all countries. Thereore, they do not need to be Russians." Lincoln Kan, representing the ' Chinese Republic, declared that the present plight of Czechoslo vakia vitally concernt the dem ocratic countries of Asia and that dominance of the Czech na- -ftion by- Russia endangered the existence of the democracies of Asia. Kan asserted that the for mer Czechoslovakian govern ment was overthrown by force by the Soviet Union. The mock session of the UN Security Council was sponsored by the local chapter of the Colle giate Council of the United Na tions.

European Politics Two bills proposing a Federa tion of Europe and religious in struction iin public schools will highlight the agenda of an open Dialectic Senate meeting tonight at 9 o'clock in the Di hall, third floor, New West, following a closed executive meeting of all Senators at 8 o'clock. The initial measure of the eve ning contends -that the -Union of Europe would solve one of the worst focal points of current world disorder. This bill would offer membership in a federation to all European countries, includ ing occupied German zones, upon ratification of a constitution. The union would be intended to establish a continental unit economically without the present system of overlapping trade bar riers.. Its primary purpose would be maintaining peace in Europe. The second measure to be con sidered will concern public in struction in religion and ethics. Condemning n at i o n a 1 moral standards at present, this pro- posal demands the teaching of non-denominational faith and de- cency in the public schools. John Zucker, speaker of the Senate, will preside over the ses sion this evening when the pub lic will be invited to participate in the debate over the team cf proposals whose presentation is being supervised by Charlio Long, chairman of the ways and i means committee.

Dean of Students E. L. Mackie made the charge and ad ministered the oaths to the new officers at exactly 9:03 as the 1943-49 administration officially took over the reins of student government. Speaking after the inaugural Tom Eller Releases Retiring Statement Expressing Thanks Tom Eller, retiring president cf the student body, released the following statement to express his appreciation for the coopera tion he has received during his administration. "On behalf of the retiring Stu dent Administration I should like to express gratitude to the stu dent body, faculty members, and townspeople," Eller stated, "for their abiding devotion to the principles of self-government and their cooperation in its execution during our term. "To the many plain students, advisors, administrative officials, political colleagues, appointees, house mothers, and all who have been willing to discuss the problems which confront a re presentative of his fellows and act upon their conclusions, I should like to convey a personal and special thanks. I have ac quired a respect for the people who make Carolina mean 'Caro lina' which I do not hope to ex press in words. "May "I wish the new administration and the stu dent body a very successful year."

Rose Maidens." Rossini's over ture to 'The Thievish Magpie" jwill also be heard Friday night. Dr. Benjamin Swalin, director j of the orchestra, began his career ;as violinist with the Minneapolis Symphony orchestra when he iwas 13. Two years later he re signed to study with the great ! violinists Franz Kneisel and Leo- i pold Auer in New York. During these years Dr. Swalin divided his time between violin study, advanced theoretical work at the Institute of Musical Art, ; and the task of acquiring a uni Tversity education. He was gradu j ! ated from Columbia university in ! 1 1928, and received the M. A. de , ; gree in English literature from j j the same institution two years xj j later. Completing his education in EuroDe. he received his doctorate at the University of Vienna and Artist Diplomas from the Hocks- chule for Musik in 1933. ceremony, Dedmond set forth the following goals of the new ad ministration for improvement cf campus life: (1) An effective chapel service for new freshmen. (2) Establishment of an fective speakers bureau.' ef- (3) Investigation of complaints of Lenoir dining hall prices and dormitory inconveniences by stu dents who are willing to give the time and effort necessary to ob tain the facts. (4) Campus improvement through understanding and con tinual contacts with the Univer sity administration. "A democratic government is one devoted to the service of its electorate," Dedmond stated. "And those of us now assuming the reins of government must re alize that" service must be our watchword. Our willingness to serve, our will to work, and our honesty of purpose must be our armour for the task ahead of us." In making the charge to the new officers, Dean Mackie con gratulated the student leaders on being elected. "Of course with the honor is associated responsibility to carry out conscientiously the duties of the office," he said. "You are the guardians of an ancient and honorable tradition. Guard it well." Tracing the history of student self-government at the Universi ty, Dean Mackie said, "To the administration of almost every university in the country it is unbelievable that our disciplin es problems are handled by stu dent councils, and that a studentj who- so forgets himself as to vio late the honor system may be suspended by his fellow student3 without review of the case by our administration." Retiring President Tom Eller, who introduced Dean Mackie, asked for cooperation between the branches of the new admin istration. "In my opinion", he said, "the most important feature in any government is its inte grity an integrity justifiably recognized in the body politic by its unselfishness, its availability to all, and its service to all." "I submit", he continued "that integrity in student government insofar as it can be reached will result from the practice of di plomacy by those in leadership." Defining 'diplomacy,' Eller point ed out that the word embodied three phases for the student leader:, "diplomacy with the stu dent body, diplomacy with the administration, and diplomacy among the leaders themselves. Dedmond also spoke at the in auguration which was presided over by retiring Vice-president Jack Folger. Preceeding the inauguration an informal banquet was held at the Carolina Inn for approximately 50 student leaders and faculty members.
