(UP) Margaret Tru man, who rejected the bid of a Rutgers university freshman to accompany him to the jun ior prom, might have gone if she'd known Tommy Dorsey was going to play, the disap pointed student said today. William Shuit, 21, got a per sonal letter of thanks and re grets on White House station ery from the president's daugh ter. "I forgot to tell her Tommy Dorsey was going to play. Maybe she would have come if she'd known that," Shuit said. The young Army veteran, and Miss Truman have never met.

Blaze Reveals No Equipment Phone Trouble Quonset Oil Fire Causes Damage A torn telephone directory, a slow-to-answer Chapel Hill tele phone operator and the lack of fire extinquishers in the quonset hut area narrowiy missed result ing in a serious blaze yesterday afternoon in hut 19. As it was, a quick-thinking stu dent phoned the police depart ment and received aid to stop a growing oil fire before it made strong headway. The student was Ed Coley from Elizabeth City, a resident of the endangered build- Coley said the hut's oil heater began leaking, formed a pool of fire on the floor and leaped into flame. He said occupants of the hut, worried for fear an explo sion would occur in the oil drum outside the building, turned off the fuel line. The student dashed to the phone only to discover that the fire department number was not in the torn book. A frantic wait ing period for the operator to an swer a dialed "0" was rewarded by silence. He then called the police department to send firemen who quickly brought the blaze under control. No fire extinquish-' ers were available in the area for the students to use. The only serious damage, Coley reported, besides the heater, was a pile of dirty clothes. It's Molasses Day In Boston, Mass. BOSTON, Jan. 15 (UP) It was noon of an unseasonably warm January day when lunch time strollers in Boston's north end heard a rumble and looked up to see a black wave, 35 feet high, bearing down upon them. A woman screamed. A horse reared, whinnied and bolted. Then all the strollers ran for their lives. Some escaped, but others were caught, engulfed and smothered in the 2,300,000 gallons of crude molasses that thundered through the ruptured walls of a waterfront storage vat. It was 30 years ago today that the great molasses flood of 1919 broke upon Boston. It killed 21 persons and dozens of horses. It crumpled eight wooden buildings. For weeks, it held the north end in its sticky grip. Much of the molasses poured into the harbor, but it left the low-lying area covered by a knee deep bog of sticky syrup which held its victims. Thrashing lumps were dying horses. Smaller mounds were the bodies of men and women. ened. "What a fine chance to see Shakespeare's two most popular tragedies on the stage and both in one day! Whew!" he snorted, and shook his head in a charac teristic way that made his prince-nez quiver, "That's going to be some day!" Dr. Taylor is scheduled to re view these productions for the newspapers. He is, especially suited for this assignment, having designed and co-authored the Ginn Publishers' unique inter linear editions of "Macbeth," "Hamlet," "The Merchant of Venice" and "Julius Caesar."

'IH SL&hx YMCA Quarterly Released; Now Available for Students Charlie Fox, chairman of the YMCA Finance committee, an nounced the publication yester day of the YMCA Quarterly, a publication designed to bring to students a "general idea of the more important things the Y is undertaking this quarter." Edited by Doug Smith, Mont vale, Va., and published by the Finance committee of the Y, the Quarterly is being distributed free to all members of the Y and faculty. An introduction by Pete Burks, president of the Y, defines the Y "as a fellowship of men on our campus who are seeking a deeper understanding . of themselves and the world in which they live. Its purpose is to provide a means through which men may conduct FPG Relation To Atom Study Is Cleared Up Is 'Titular' Head Of Research Group OAK RIDGE, Tenn., Jan. 15. -(UP) The Oak Ridge Institute , of Nuclear Studies today issued a formal statement clarifying the relation of Dr. Frank P. Graham, its president, to atomic research here. The statement followed radio commentator Fulton Lewis, Jr.'s charge that the Atomic Energy commission gave security clear ance to Graham against the ad vice of its security board. Dr. Graham, who is also presi dent of the University of North Carolina, was elected head of the institute in October, 1946. The institute's statement said that Graham is not the active di rector of the research work but rather "the titular head of the in stitute." Graham was in Oak Ridge on June 28, 1946, the state ment added. The council which he heads meets only once a year at the atomic city. The Institute of Nuclear Studies is a cooperative venture by 19 Southern universities. It was formed before the Atomic Ener gy commission took over manage ment at Oak Ridge. The institute now has a con tract with the commission to use research facilities at Oak Ridge to advance the study of science. But the statement explained that the institute members rath er than the AEC elect the council chairman, who also is president of the board of directors. Graham holds this post. Dixiecrats Ousted From Committee WASHINGTON, Jan. 15. (UP) Administration leaders in an unusual action today removed two States Rights Democrats from the House Un-American Ac tivities committee. Republicans called it a "purge." Democrats denied it. The ax was swung by Demo cratic members of the House Ways and Means committee. It was felt by . Reps. John E. Ran kin, Miss., and F. Edward He bcrt, La., Southern Democrats who have fought the Truman ad ministration. Under House Democratic rules, members of the party on the Ways and Means committee nom inate Democratic members of the other committees. Their action is subject to approval by the House Democratic caucus which meets Monday. But there was no doubt in this case that it will be rati fied at that time. their search and may express their growing understanding. The program of activities grows out of the interests and needs of stu dents and may change from year to year as these needs and in terests change." Contained in the Quarterly are reports on the various activities to be undertaken, like the Re ligion in Life week to be held here Jan. 23-28. the winter YM YW conference to be held in February at Montreat, and a tribute to Harry Comer, former secretary to the Y for 24 years. Officials of the Finance com mittee stated, "Students who de sire copies of .the .YMCA Quar terly may stop by the Y office and obtain them."

' The Hatf anrl nlno nf (Im c-r.o Coed Senate Plans Forum Next Month 17 Schools Asked To Attend Session Seventeen schools have' been invited to the University Feb. 25 and 26 to discuss problems perti nent to student government in coed and girls schools, Edie Knight, chairman of the commit tee organizing the forum, an nounced yesterday. Sponsored by the Coed sen ate, the forum is an outgrowth of a recommendation made by Jess Dedmond in his State of the Campus address last fall. Of the 17 schools invited, Hol lins and Woman's college have accepted. An invitation has been issued to Dr. James Wood to ap pear as the keynote speaker. As yet, Dr. Wood has not accepted. The purpose of the coed com mittee in scheduling the forum is to study student government both from coed and girls' schools. Another aspect of the forum is to study the problems that arise in order to better the student government organiza tions, the chairman explained. Commissions will be set up to discuss the honor system, point system, extra-curricular activi ties, and various branches of stu dent government. Other members of the- commit tee include Gussic Young, re cording secretary, Mary Ann Daniel, corresponding secretary, Patsy McNutt, Fran Angas, Bar bara Lowe, Joan Lucas, Sue Stokes, Emily Ogburn, Helen Bouldin, and Emily Baker. 'An Act of Spite' Sergeant Asserts COLUMBUS, Ga., Jan. 15 (UP) Sgt. B. J. Odum, of Ft. Bcnning, believed today that someone is trying to break up his recent marriage, it seemed he had grounds for his reasoning. In the last few days, said Sgt. Odum, these things have hap pened: 1. $500 worth of his wife's clothing was stolen. 2. Sugar was poured into the gas tank of his car. 3. He began receiving tele phone threats from anonymous men and women. 4. An attempt was made to burn down his home. Sgt. Odum told Police Chief John G. Newberry that he be lieved the final incident, at least, was "an act of spite." Use of Law Library Limited to Groups Use of the law library has been limited to the law school faculty, staff, and students, law librarian Lucile Elliott said yes terday. Other members of the Univer sity faculty and graduate stu dents, with special permission, will be allowed use of the li brary. Very crowded conditions and a great shortage of books has forced this restriction. Miss El liott also said that no books may be checked out of the library without special permission dur ing rush periods and examination week. Stadium As Site - VA bill. OW ond game, to be played in 1950, has not yet been established. The announcement came after a week of speculation and rumor. First hint of the Tar Heel-Irish contest leaked out when Shirley Povich, Washington Post column ist, wrote that the Tar Heels would drop William and Marv from the schedule to take on Notre Dame. Although the 1949 schedule has not yet been completed, the ath letic department has made no statement concerning the elim ination of William and Mary from the schedule. Other specu lating had it that Maryland was the team to be dropped. But there is a possibility that neither will be eliminated and Carolina will attempt an 11 -game schedule for next year. With the Carolina-Texas series ending by Carolina's striking 34-7 triumph over the Long horns in Chapel Hill last fall, South Carolina has been added to fill out the schedule. The Tar Heels will travel to Columbia, S. C, on Oct. 8 to renew a 24 game series in which the Chapel Hill teams have , won 16, lost four and tied four. The last game with the Gamecocks was in Chapel Hill in 1944, the South Carolinians winning, 6-0. It has been a long time since a Carolina team has made an ap pearance in New York. The last time was in 1942 at the Polo grounds when the Tar Heels and Fordham fought to a 0-0 dead lock. The last trip the Blue and White made north of the Mason Dixon line was in 1945 when they suffered a 49-0 shellacking at the hands of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. Frank Leahy's Notre Dame squad finished last season with out a defeat, but with a tie with Southern California, and was voted second best team in the country behind Michigan by an Associated Press poll of sports writers. The Tar Heels, undefeated in 1948, but with a 14-6 setback at the hands of Oklahoma in the Sugar bowl, were rated third by the same Associated Press poll. The Carolina-Notrc Dame scr ies should throw some light on the controversial subject of whether or not the brand of foot ball played in the South is infer ior to that of Mid-Western and Northern ball. W.S.S.F. ROUNDUP Saturday tabulations were un available last night for the latest count towards the 1949 Univer sity contributions to the World Student Service fund. With the exception of a daffy auction slated as a climax for Tuesday at 7:30 in Hill hall, the main WSSF stunts conducted during the past week are all in their final stages. Door-to-door solicitations and dime balloting for "Miss Pay Off" in the Y lobby will con tinue until 5 o'clock Tuesday. However, all votes will be se cret hereafter and no further announcement of various 'con testant standings will be made until the auction Tuesday night. Any organization desiring to sell still more 50-cent auction tickets to count as five votes each for their "Miss Pay-Off' nominee can draw another al lottment of ducats from the YWCA office tomorrow morning.
