UFPARY (Periodical Tept) '.nlvsratiy of north Carolina i-3i-4a , WEATHER Partly cloudy and mild. No. 173 . United Press CHAPEL HILL, N. C THURSDAY, MAY 27, 1943 Phone F-3371-F-3361 State Department Is Denounced in Senate For Radio Programs Washington, May 26 (UP) The Senate rocked today with angry charges that individual states have been "slandered and libeled" by the State depart ment's "Voice of America" broad casts. The broadcasts to foreign countries are aimed at giving what the State department calls a ' true picture" of life in a demo cracy. Many senators, normally staunch administration support ers, joined in denouncing the State department for what they called "this terible blunder . . . this downright tragedy." For example, Senator Millard Tydings (D Md.) suggested it might be, as he put it, a "cal culated attempt to belittle and betray the United States." It all started when GOP Sen ator Homer Capehart of Indiana began reading excerpts from a Voice of America series on the "History and Characteristics" of various states' broadcast in Span ish to Latin American countries. The series, said Capenart, de picted Texas as "founded in sin" and inhabited by a "completely different race than the rest of the United States." It said a Spanish settler with 600 cows made Texas the center of the cattle-growing industry. Another broadcast, Capeharf went on, said the oxcart is tha "symbol" of the spirit of Alabama and that "in no other part of the United .States has the colored race struggled and suffered so much as there." One broacast described Ne vada as "a land of cowboys" and added, "Its two ..principal cities are in competition. In Las Vegas they get married and in Reno they get divorced." Another called Pennsylvania's Quakers a "social problem" be cause they refuse to take oaths in court or perform military ser vice.

Outstanding Bills Must Be Paid Now In order for all campus organi zations to get their finances in proper shape before school closes, Harry A. Kear, accountant for the Student Activities fund, re minds the various treasurers that all outstanding bills should be paid at once.

Last Carolina Mag To Be Distributed Next Monday The largest issue of the Caro lina Magazine this year will be released next Monday, according to an announcement yesterday by Fred Jacobson, Mag editor. Because of its unusual heavi ness and bulk, the 43-page issue will only be distributed to dorms and fraternity houses. Town stu dents and others not reached through the regular circulation system may get copies at the Y, Graham Memorial, Trailer court, Village Co-op, and the Carolina Inn, said Jacobson. The Mag's editors have refused to reveal the theme of the forth coming issue, but they hint it j will carry the "proper impact" 1 in view of the fact that this marks the ending of the 104-year tradi tion of the magazine. The larger size edition was made possible through a special $350 appropriation by the Publi cations board, say the editors. They believe that through the extra funds they have been able to produce an issue which meets the standards of the combination magazine which the Carolina mag favored in the referendum several months " ago.- In addition to a seven-page section dedicated to Thomas Wolfe, the edition will carry the results of the photography con test which was sponsored by the mag and Foister's Camera store. Also included in the issue will be a selection of interesting stories, both serious and humor ous, and a variety of poems and articles, say the editors.

Wilkinson, Republi can candidate for the United States senate and graduate of the University in 1931, will speak on his political policies in Ger rard hall at 8 o'clock tonight. Wilkinson is appearing here under the sponsorship of the Young Republicans club and the Carolina Political union. Dr. E. J. Woodhouse will introduce the speaker and Bill Hippie, YRC president, will preside. A dinner will be given honor ing Wilkinson before the adre.s and an open forum session will be held following the speech. Wilkinson has practiced law in Washington, N. C, since 1935 and is a member of the State and County Bar associations. He was elected as president of the state Young Republicans club in 1911 and has served as vice-chairman of the National Young Re publicans organization since 1942. While in school here Wilkin son was an intercollegiate de bater and a member of the De bate council. He was winner of the Mary D. Wright medal and the Bingham medal for debating. He was speaker pro tern of the House, Lowenstein State Budget Views Ernie House, .former, member of the Student Legislature and chairman of the Finance com mittee, and Al Lowenstein, mem ber of the Legislature, made the following statement yesterday af ternoon in regard to the 1948-40 budget, with respect to financial operations next year: "We have consulted with Mr. Kear of the Student Audit of fice and it appears certain that there will be a surplus of more than $7,000 available to student government on June 30, the end of the current fiscal year. In view of this fact, it would seem that the financial plight of student government is far from as grave as we have been led to believe by the debates in the Legislature. We will not be able to determine the exact status of our finances until the profit and loss state ments are available for the cur rent year. "In view of our experiences this year, it would be advisable, we feel, to work out some sys tem by which a closer coordina tion in financial matters can be maintained between the Stu dent Audit office and the Leg is lature. This might entail the hir ing of an assistant to serve with Mr. Kear, which would, among other things, enable Mr. Kear to devote more time to student bud getary matters. "A non-partisan approach must be adopted if we are to be able to cope adequately with our nancial problems, and to insure that the individual student get, the most for his money. The ad ministration in South building, which has so far been well-pleased with the manner in which students have handled their funds, must be approached with unity and maturity; and this can be ministration. If approved, it will then be taken to the individual fraternity chapters for their rati fication or rejection. Last Tuesday night Coed Senate approved a policy by which a revised House Privileges board visiting agreement may be ap plicable to the summer session, provided that it is properly drawn up and ratified by the adminis tration and the various fraternities. Is Scheduled f x, i ' - v. T " " . v WILKINSON Phi assembly and president of the Tau Kappa Alpha fraternity, and member of the Chi Phi ard Epsilon Phi Delta fraternities. He ! was acclaimed as the best speak er of the i.enior class and served on the editorial hoard of the Daily Tar Jlecl. lie was also a contributor to the Carolina Mag azine. In 1942 Wilkinson was first prize winner in Scribncr's Com mentator National Essay con test. His subject was "What Would Be the Foreign Policy j George Washington Today? achieved only, if every legislator looks at budget problems object ively and without individual prej udices. "Steps which might well be taken during the coming year in clude the extension of the prin ciple of student administration of :;tudenl fees to cover fund; col lected in the summer sessions. Student government is a year round operation: the Honor Code cannot be made inoperative for three months; nor is there a "summer vacation" for other stu dent activities. Another matter which must be dealt with is the adjustment of the fees levied und'T- the constitutional limit. For .substantially the same bene fits, coeds now pay $1 more per quarter than do men student:;, and graduate .students now pay considerably less per quarter than do undergraduate students. And $15,000 desperately needed to carry on expanded student activities, which is constitution ally available, cannot be collect ed under present procedures. Wo should strive to obtain a budget ing system by which appropria tions can be made in actual fig ures rather than on a pro rata basis. In this way organizations need not be concerned lest their revenue be less than estimated. "These recommendations offer no panacea; nor are they to Io construed as criticisms of the officers presently making student policy concerning the block fee. Not to learn from past mistakes, however, is a luxury which stu dent government can ill afford, especially in problems of finance," Lowenstein pointed out yester day that the reason he voted a gainst the budget-cutting bill passed in the Student Legislature Tuesday night was that his figures show that there will be a $7,000 plus surplus when student gov ernment operations for this year cease, and he believes that that money should have been used to balance the budget instead of in flicting cuts on campus organi zations. DORM KEYS Manager of dormitories, Bill Smith, has requested the co operation of all students who will leave school permanently or or the summer to leave their dormitory keys at his office in the basement of South building immediately before leaving; school. ; JOHN A
