THURSDAY, JANUARY 20, 1949 Phone F-3371 F-3361 NUMBER 8( J WSSF D rive ampus By Charlie Gibson The eight-day World Student Service fund drive here on campus netted $2,306.71 for the international student charity, according to final tabulations released yesterday by Dick Cordon, local WSSF finance chairman. Gordon broke down the over- all tally to show that relief aid for students in war-devastated countries was raised during the past week in the following ways Door-to-door solicitations and personal contributions, $901.73; "Miss Pay-Off" beauty contest, $771.62; "Take a Foreign Student to Dinner," $329,23; daffy auc tion, $298.03; and basketball predictions, $5.10. Dortch Warrincr, chairman of the fund-raising campaign spon sored cn campus by the Council for Religion in Life, stated yes terday that "Although the amount of this year's WSSF con- tribution is less than last year's we credit part of the shortcoming to .the fact that cash collections Tvcre pressed in preference to pledged funds which students last year paid on year-round installments. To facilitate bookkeeping since the drive had to be cancel led from the fall as originally scheduled to this winter quarter, arrangements now - have been that the smaller number of pledges this time will at least be paid up properly and prompt ly around Feb. 1. "We WSSF workers do ap preciate the co-operation that the student body, the faculty, and the Chapel Hill merchants gave for what we consider a very worthy cause," Warriner con cluded. The official drive ended Tues day night with the daffy auction in Hill hall at ' which attractive coed dates and faculty slaves were sold to the highest bidder. The record price bid as a charity contribution came when a foot ball autographed by Tar Heel players brought $38. Warriner added that although the drive proper is finished for another year, WSSF contributions will still be accepted in the YMCA office at any time.

Nets $2 ,306 Speed Demons To Slow Down For New Light Safety Fixtures Start Tomorrow Tomorrow, marks the deadline for local speed demons who have been using Franklin street as a race track the past few years, Grey Culbreth, superintendent of utilities, announced yesterday. Culbreth said the two stop lights now under construction in front of the post office and the intersection of Franklin and Hen derson streets will be completed and in operation after today.'' City workers have been pound ing away at the Franklin street cement this week, and motorists have been forced to slow down to an unaccustomed low speed while passing the torn-up pave ment and workers. Both motorists and pedestrians will benefit from the new light system, Culbreth said, but the biggest benefit will be received by the pedestrians. No longer will people crossing Franklin street have to dodge wildly around the streams of U- turning cars. The stop lights will halt traffic, both on Franklin and Henderson streets, while walk ers cross the streets. And motor ists will have a chance to turn from Henderson street into Franklin street without having to wait for an open "space be tween the cars on Franklin street.

Phi members defeated the reso lution by a margin of two votes. When the audience was polled for its opinion, the motion re ceived a majority of one vote. Bill Duncan, leading proponent of the resolution, called for the end of a system that permits co eds to make spectacles of them selves on U.

Yates warned about the possibility of an "unfortunate in cident" if the ban were lifted and reported that in a poll he found 66 per cent of the coeds and 85 per cent of the men opposed to removal of the restriction.
