WC Alumnae
Slate Meeting
On Chancellor
GREENSBORO, Oct. 4 (UP)
A committee of Woman's college
alumnae today scheduled a meet
ing here Wednesday to consider
candidates for recommendation as
successor to Woman's college
Chancellor W. C. Jackson.
The recommendations of the
committee would go to Frank P.
Graham, president of the Greater
University of North Carolina. A
spokesman said the recommenda
tions probably would not be for
warded for several months.
Jackson asked recently that he
be relieved of his job at the end
of the present academic year.
Mrs. Charles W. Tillett of Char
lotte, chairman of alumnae, head
ed the group which would meet
here. Other members included
Mrs. Albert Lathrop of Asheville.
Mrs. Thomas Brafford, Jr., of
Raleigh, and Mrs. Julius Cone of
Greensboro.
CPU Discusses
'Why Inflation'
At First Meet
"Why Inflation?" was the topic
discussed at the first roundtable
session of the Carolina Political
Union Sunday evening in the
Grail room of Graham Memorial.
Several specific governmental
policies, removal of price con
trols, tax reduction, loans to for
eign countries, the European re
covery program, and relaxing of
consumer credit controls, were
mentioned as contributing to the
present high level of prices.
A partisan note was injected
into the discussion with the dec
laration that the Republican party
should be held responsible for
the present state of affairs. An
other opinion expressed asserted
that there was little difference in
what either of the major polit
ical parties could accomplish, and
that our present trouble is basic
and fundamental to the capitalist
system.
The union will continue dis
cussion of inflation next Sunday
evening at 8 o'clock when the
topic "What Is the Cure for In
flation?" will be presented.
Comedian Fred Allen Says
Hell Guarantee Quiz Calls
NEW YORK Oct. 4 (UP)
Comedian Fred Allen, in a battle
to protect his radio popularity
from the quiz shows, Jhas insured
his listeners against the loss of
any prizes they may miss while
tuning in his program.
Allen said he has arranged with
the National Surety corporation
to guarantee the payment of up
to $5,000 to any listener who can
prove he has missed winning a
prize or prize money by listening
in on the Allen show.
"There are so many programs
giving away things that people
have stopped tuning in comedi
ans," Allen said. "They're afraid
while they are listening some
giveaway show will call them on
the telephone and they will lose
ed at least once each day; the ken
nel must be kept clean and order
ly, and a veterinarian must be no
tified if either or both of the dogs
gets sick or injured.
Alexander said the kennel mas
ter must also perform any other
duties "necessary for the well
being and health of the animals."
Alexander added that the Stu
dent Association would furnish
all feed, necessary supplies and
veterinary fees. He did not say
anything about medical expenses
for the master in case he shouldn't
get along too well with his
charges.

io put out this afternoon's issue of the Durham Sun. The group met last week with E. T. Rollins, Danie Germino and C. H. Cooper of the
Sun staff, and made arrangements lo take over ihe management of the paper today, in observance of National Newspaper week, Oct. 1
lo 8. The students, specialists in sports, news, society, advertising, administrative, and composing techniques, left for Durham at 7:30
and 8:30 this morning, and will return this afternoon when the paper has come out. They will be guests at luncheon of the Cooperative
club and the American Business men's club of Durham, and will hear John Park, editor of the Raleigh Times, discuss various aspects

Third Assembly
Dean C. P. Spruill, Jr., dean
of the General College, will

a trip to Bermuda with all expen
ses paid or the giant jackpot."
Although he didn't mention it,
the comedian's Sunday night show
on the National Broadcasting
company, 8:30 to 9 P.M. EST, is
in direct competition with the
American Broadcasting company's
giveaway show "Stop the Music"
which is on the air from 8 to 9
P.M. EST.
Last season the comedian's ra
dio rating . dropped from one of
the top 10 shows to 38th place.
Radio officials explained this was
primarily due to the influence of
the "Stop the Music" show.
Allen said the agreement with
the Surety corporation was for
$50,000, which would cover up to
10 claims for $5,000.
"In other words," the comedian
explained, "my listeners can only
lose 30 minutes."
However, Kenneth Crosby, 41,
a beer salesman of Bluffton, Ind.,
was just as happy he wasn't lis
tening to the Allen show last
night, despite the guarantee.
Crosby won the "Stop the Mus
ic" $30,000 jackpot when he iden
tified the mystery melody as
"Turkeys in the Treetop."
If he had been listening to the
Allen program, he might have
collected the $5,000 guarantee but
would still have been missing the
extra . $25,000 he won in prizes
that included a new car, $1,000
diamond ring and a vacation trip
to Mexico and Hollywood.
Legislature Delegates
Slashed From 32 to 19
University representation in the House of Representatives
at this year's State Student Legislature was cut from 32 to 19
delegates at a meeting of the Interim council Sunday, Coun
cil Member Dortch Warriner reported yesterday.
Presiding at the meeting, which
was held at Guilford college, was
Secretary-Treasurer Gran Chil
dress, in the absence of President
Charles Cooper of Duke univer
sity. The representation cut was the
result of a reapportionment of
seats which allows three dele- j
gates to any school with an en-!
rollment of 1,000 or less, and an
additional delegate for every 400
students over 1,000.
The previous rule allowed two
delegates for any school with an
enrollment of 500 or less, and
one additional delegate for every
additional 250 students.
The new ruling, supported by
all council members except War
riner, will, in effect, increase the
representation in the House of
smaller schools and decrease the
representation of larger schools.
The council is made up of one
voting delegate from each school
participating in the legislature.
The motion to change the ap
portionment rule was made by
Catawba college.
The council discussed the pos
sibility of meeting this fall, but
decided to leave the decision up
to Cooper and Childress.

areas near Chapel Hill will' now

New Projects
Are Undertaken
By YW Cabinet
Two new projects were voted
in as cabinet undertakings when
the YWCA cabinet had its first
meeting yesterday in the Y office.
The coffee klotsch, which be
gan last Thursday, proved so suc
cessful that it was made one of
the many things to be sponsored
by this cabinet, made up of chair
men of some 15 committees. The
klotsch, an informal discussion
over coffee cups, is to take place
each Tuesday night at 7:30 in the
Y office. Coeds and their dates
are invited.
Second on the list of projects
was a weekly Y newssheet con
taining news of the various com
mittees along with dorm and
cabinet news.
All coeds who pledged money
to the YWCA but did not sign
up for any definite committee
are asked to drop by the Y office
in the Y building this week and
have their names put on the
membership list.

Duncan Says Keep
Photo Appointments
All students who have not yet
been photographed for the Yack-ety-Yack
are urged to complete
the appointments they made dur
ing registration, Editor Bill Dun
can said yesterday.
If a student has missed his ap
pointment he is requested to come
to the Y a c k office in Graham

By completing his appointment
now, a student can decide which
of the poses he' would like to ap
pear in the '49 Yack. The photo

students who haven't made their
appointments as yet are urged io

The unprecedented game was a
life-saver for a dull, cold, dreary
afternoon. Portable radios were
seen alongside coffee cups in a
number of Chapel Hill cafes, and
word had it that patrons of the

the game through word-of-mouth
from the ushers.'
Although Cleveland held the
upper hand throughout, local Bos
ton fans never gave up hope. But
the special attraction did serve one
very useful purpose: Boston Brave

a
Motorcade
Will Arrive
For 6:45 Talk
By Sam McKeel
Governor J. Strom Thur
mond of South Carolina,
States Rights Democratic pres
idential candidate, will bring
his motorcade to Chapel Hill
tonight in his whirlwind at
tempt to capture North Caro
lina's 14 electoral votes.
Thurmond, co-sponsored by the
Carolina Forum and the Carolina
Political Union, non-partisan
campus political organization,
will speak in Hill hall at 6:45.
Nominated for the presidency
by the stale Democratic partic?
of Alabama, Mississippi, and
South Carolina, Thurmond has
blasted both the national Demo
cratic and Republican parties.
He has predicted that he will
carry the Tar Heel state and said
that if his States Rights party
had not won a place on the state
ballot, Republican candidate
Thomas E. Dewey would have
carried the state.
For all of his confidence.
Thurmond will face a mixed re
action in the Old North State.
Retiring Governor It. Gregg
Cherry and Democratic Nominee
W. Kerr Scott asked that differ
ences over civil rights be settled
"within the family."
Thurmond has blasted the civil
rights proposals of his opponents
in the presidential race by saying
that "the federal government is
going to make every business a
semi-government business . . .
this Fair Employment Practice
commission is an ideal bill for
the Communists of America."
Thurmond, in his tour of the
state, will follow very much the
same pattern of two other pres
idential candidates, Dewey and
Wallace.
Herb Mitchell, publicity direc
tor of the Forum, said that due
to the lack of time in the tour
there will be no question and
answer period after the speech.
Thurmond speaks in Durham at
5:30, here at 6:45 and Raleigh
at 8:00 o'clock. He leaves the
Raleigh-Durham airport at 9:45
for New York.
Thurmond Says
'Reds and Rakes'
At Convention
EN ROUTE WITH THUR
MOND, Oct. 4 (UP) Gov. J.
Strom Thurmond of South Car
olina, States Rights presidential
candidate, charged today that
the Democratic national conven
tion in Philadelphia "was any
thing but a convention of the real
party.
"It was a convention of reds
and rakes and subversives and
people who jump from one party
to another," he told an applaud
ing courthouse crowd at Char
lotte, N. C.
Opening a two-day campaign
for North Carolina's 14 electoral
votes, Thurmond repeated point
by point his blasts against the
civil rights proposals of his op
ponents in the presidential race.
The South Carolina governor
said he was "booed and hissed un
til I had to stop" when he second
ed the nomination of Sen. Rich
ard B. Russell of Georgia for pres
ident at the Democratic national
convention in Philadelphia.
"Is that a convention of the
Democratic party we know?" he
asked.
Rain forced the scheduled out
door rally to move indoors. The
crowd of more than 500 took over
the courtroom where civil court
was in session, and there heard
Thurmond shout his speech. It
applauded frequently as he at
tacked "Northern interference."
