' Charles Iverson was taken : to a hospital Saturday night when he returned home covered with paint and feathers. Doctors said his back had been "cut to rib bons." Iverson said he and two other initiates were struck across the back four times by each of 15 club members who weilded the paddles. Then they were drench ed with tar paint. Iverson said the name of the organization involved was tns "Night Owls", and that it was composed mostly of members of Lincoln high school's unbeaten baseball team. . "I can't squeal on these guys," he said. "It might ruin their chances to play on the team. The paddles didn't hurt much. Only a couple of fellows hit hard."

Public tryouts are to be held this afternoon at four o'clock in the Playmaker theater. "Weare not trying to exclude any of the regular Playmaker group," he said, "but we are anxious for students who have not appeared in Playmaker shows to act or to do work back stage if they are interested." The three new plays are "Iphigenia in Lewkville" by John Wills, author of "Morning Dialogue" and "The Mask of the Black Bishop," "The Little Things" by Kermit Hunter; and "Of Lucy Wren" by Murray Mc Cain. The directors will be graduate students Louisa Mustin, John Bridges, and Eleanor Woodson.

Cast lists will be decided on immediately after tryouts, and rehearsals will start tomorrow. The plays will be presented on Thursday and Friday nights, May 6 and 7.

Claude Pepper Supports Truman By Sam McKeel There is at least one congress man in the merry old Southland who is backing Truman in the coming presidential election. And if running has anything to do with an election then the support of this particular senator should mean a lot. Florida's Democratic Senator Claude Pepper, the man who is backing Truman was a member of the cross-country team in his college days at the University of Alabama. Pepper has been a member of the U. S. Senate since 1936, when he was nominated to fill out the Card Stunts Are Ready for Game Slated Saturday This coming Saturday at 2 o'clock in Kenan . stadium, the annual Blue-White game will be held with all the usual attrac tions of a Carolina football game.

Only outsiders and specifically designated students will be al lowed to sit on the north side of the stadium. Sper requested that all students who will sit in the card section wear white shirts or blouses to rnaxe tne stunts more visible. "T" shirts are per missible. - - Blocked Off The procedure to be followed by those sitting in the section has also been announced by Sper. Sections 17 and 18 between the 35 and 50 yard lines will be used. The middle aisle in this section will be blocked off with seats to make a solid formation. Students will fill up the section on the usual "first come first serve basis." Seats will be filled up from the .middle.. Each, student will find a small white card at tached beneath his seat. On this card will be marked the color of the card he is supposed to flash during the specified stunt. Master Card Before the stunts begin, the cards will be passed through the section and the students will re move the different colored cards which are specified on his master card. . Also during the half, presenta tion of the outstanding coaches award will be made, and the Uni versity band will be on hand to welcome Carolina's 1948 football team. Sper announced that he would like to have four tumblers to per form with next year's cheering team.

Believes There Is No Danger of War With Russia in Her 'Weak' Condition By Herb Nachman "The people running this country today are loading the. American people down the same road that Hitler led the German people down the road t Fascism." asserted Sen ator Glen H. Taylor last night speaking before a crowd o 650 students, townspeople and visitors which filled Hill hall and overflowed to the building's doors. For a full hour, Taylor, who Alexander Is Named Hew CPU President; Southerland Elected Herbert Alexander, Jr., from Waterbury, Connecticutt, was elected chairman of the Carolina Political union last Sunday. Al exander, a political science ma- . i ii e jor, took over tne reigns irom Bill Kemp after the annual elec tion.

VARSITY DEBATERS There will be a 'meeting of all students who participated in the Varsity debate program during the year at 4 o'clock today in Di hall. Next year's Debate council will be elected at this time. At Alabama U. dates Trammell defeated Pepper by only 4,500 votes. A member of the committees on Foreign Relations, Commerce, Education and Labor, Interwcean ic Canal, and Printing and Pat ents, Pepper was a delegate to the Interparliamentary Union at the Hague in the summer of 1933. For some of his ideas Pepper has not always found the sailing clear. Because he advocated lend lease, selective service, and other is Iknrv Wallace's running mate on the Progressive party ticket, criticized our foreign policy, warned that the U. S. is control led by a gang of cartclists, spoke of an agreement with Russia and flatly denied that war with Russil is inevitable. He went on to say that iit present war is improbable because of the "weakened con dition" of the Soviet Union. U. S. foreign Policy Taylor pointed out. that, "There is no place fur people who want peace, for. people who want to get. along with Russia. There is no place for them to be heard." Taylor brought nut this factor as the reason for the founding of the third party in the United Stales. Taylor di.-cu:;.-erl at length the factor of armament, building for the next war and forgetting the peace. "I believe Mr. Forest al is our potential Hitler," he said. Chapel Hill Liberalism "Here in Chapel Hill the people are liberal and free thinking, but this is not true all over the coun try. When we attempt to organize our party in various places, wo find that people come to us and say that they don't like what' going on but tiicy are afraid to let it be known." The senator related an incident which occured in West Virginia where a minister and a rabbi had been aked to offer prayer at a , meeting of the party. However, the senator said that pressure was brourjit to bear by a local newspaper pubiisner ana they both failed to show up for the meetings. "When it comes to tho point that the preachers can't come and pray for our poor be knighted, red -stained souls, then we have political police just like Hitler had." On Secret Police ' Wallace and I aren't making many promises, but I will say that when we take power, there 'll be so many political police looking for jobs that there will be a temporary unemployment situation " Commenting on the present situation in this country in com parison 1o the situation in pre war Germany, the senator re marked, ' Hitler did the same thing we are doing here now. He hollered 'lied. Red' until every body was looking under the beds to see if there were any around, and when they looked up, they found the Gestapo had them covered." n.u5Ma Devastated In the course of his speech, Senator Taylor put emphasis on the observation that Russia is un able o attack the United States at the present time. "Russia was devastated by the war. Millions were killed. Her farm lands were laid waste. If we .were in that shape, would we be looking for war? I don't believe there is any danger from attack by Russia now." Taylor brought out strongly that Secretary of Defense Forres tal and the militarists are defin itely out to start a war so they ' can ''get rid of the Communists once and for all and exploit the country hkc they've be?n doing to the .lou'h and the West for all these many years. I don't think they would have any com punction about attacking foreig ners at all " Boos end Hisses A remark which brought loud boos and hisses from the over crowded auditorium was to the effect that the greatest criticism against Russia is her careless use (See TAYLOR, page 4) Williams lounge.
