S. Bennett, director of operations, said yesterday. Jerry Weiss, president of Sound and Fury, said the organi zation was using hut. 35 to store S and F stage scenery. He added that it had taken him approxi mately six months to find suit able storage space for the equip ment. IFC President Charlie Loudermilk said the inter-fraternity organization intends to use hut 20 as a place to store records and also as a meeting place. Bennett explained that the ar rangement with the two organi zations was only temporary. "The huts are primarily housing units," he said, "and will prob ably be needed to house new stu dents next fall." He explained that the University was releas ' ing the huts only because the or ganizations had no other storage space. He added that if the huts were not needed for the expected increased enrollment next fall the student organizations could continue to use them. Asked about the possibility of other campus groups securing the use of huts, Bennett said, "We are not going to keep the organ izations out if they need the huts." According to University hous ing director James Wadsworth, only eight of the 36 huts are now being used for living quarters, housing approximately - 62 stu dents. A few others are being used for storage space by the University. 'Music Under Stars' Will be Discussed .

Uninterrupted Days Dedmond Hails Advantages Of YMCA Retreat Discussions By Virginia Forward "Perhaps the best reason for the annual Y retreat is that it gives students an uninterrupted two days in which they have a chance to discuss thoroughly campus, political, and religious questions," Jess Dedmond, pres ident of the student body, said yesterday in a discussion of the coming YW-YMCA retreat at Montrcat: "At the 1943 retreat at Natural Bridge, Va., I was on the stu dent government panel," he said. "During those two days we laid the groundwork for the fall ori entation program. As a result of the retreat and the great amount of energy put out by Bill Miller, the University had one of the best orientation programs ever." Dedmond said he had very 'Country Boy' RALEIGH, Feb. 5 (UP) The House of Representatives today fixed Rep. William T. Hatch; Wake county's self styled "country boy." 11 pased a bill looping the town around him. Hatch has frequently em phasized in speeches lo the house lhal he lives outside the city limils of Raleigh and is just a "country boy." The House today received, passed and sen! lo Ihe Senate a bill lo extend Ihe city limits of Raleigh. The new city boundary, as outlined in Ihe House's practical joke, would follow Ihe west side of U. S. highway 1 lo Hatch's home, locp around it, and come back down the east sidei of the highway. The Senate dutifully receiv ed the bill, suspended the rules and passed it. That, said House members, should be enough lo make Hatch a cily slicker. The catch in Ihe Hatch hoax was lhal the bill had no of ficial number and therefore was not effective.

Looking over the list of stu dent and faculty leaders who are to travel to Montreat, Dedmond commented, "It will be worth everyone's time just to hear Dr. Frank Hanft speak. His approach to national and international problems of the time are the most practical I've heard."

Bomb With a Brain Chapel Hill By Don Maynard The sage Nostradamus was on the ball when he predicted the world wars, Hitler's coming into power and the jet airplane, con sidering he lived somewhere in the middle ages. But historians didn't reckon on a modern Nostradamus of Chapel Hill when they wrote their tomes; evidently they closed the records thinking modern man could never equal old Nosty. That is where they made a mistake. Chapel Hill can boast of 20th century prophet from Trenton, N. J., Sam Hirsch who predicted the flying atom bomb with a brain! What's more, he added a conscience. It was last year when the Carolina Playmakers. produced "The Atom Cantata," one of three experimental plays given in the South Officials Remain Silent On Board Meet House Refuses Any Comments Silence continued to reign in South building yesterday con cerning last week's meeting of the visiting committee of the Board of Trustees. "All dealings with the visiting committee are confidential, and I do not discuss them with any one," Chancellor R. B. House said. House refused to comment on the report in Friday's Chapel Hill Weekly concerning, a sug gested solution by the visiting committee to the automobile parking problem. The committee reportedly sug gested to House that freshmen and sophomore students be pro hibited from keeping cars in Chapel Hill. House accepted the suggestion for consideration, the article stated. The Weekly's report said, in effect, that the trustees suggest ed th? freshman-and-sophomore restriction be inaugurated as an experiment. Trustees reportedly said that if this solution were not satisfactory to University authorities, further measures might be taken, or else authori ties might find a better approach to control of student cars. Louis Graves, editor of the Chapel Hill Weekly, reported in the article that an official of the University told him he was convinced the parking situation would not be improved except by a decrease in the number of cars. The report also said that con sideration would be given to physically-handicapped students and those who needed cars for practical purposes. A member of the Safety coun cil said the suggested solution had not been brought before the com mittee. Steve Millikin, chair man of the council, could not be contacted. The committee, which has been studying the parking problem on campus, has not met in over two weeks. University officials agreed that the board of trustees had the final word in solving the parking problem. Pasquier Trio Tickets on Sale Tickets are on sale in Hill hall for a concert by the internation ally famous Pasquier Trio com posed of three brothers, Jean, violin; Pierre, viola; and Etienne, violoncello, to be presented Tues day evening at 8:30.

Several tours have enabled this trio to make successful ap pearances in Switzerland, Hol land, Belgium, Austria, Italy, Spain, the Orient, and America. Large French towns have also demonstrated enthusiasm, and the international press has praised these artists. Boasts Own Prophet early spring. Written by Sam Hirsch with music by Harold Shiffman of Greensboro, the play had as its star an animal conceived, airborne, thinking atom bomb. Critics of the cantata who de scribed the plot as "amusing, but fantastic" are now quietly pro ceding to eat their words. U. S. scientists, following Hirsch's lead, have been reported to have such a bomb. The press revealed the startl ing news, "American military scientists appear to be working on the idea of a 'thinking' guid ed missile that will identify the intended target from a picture, then attack it." This "thinking" missile is told of as only "one of a number of variations of 'homing guided Rebuilding For Service Plans for reconstruction of the University service plant building destroyed by fire in December, 1947, will be sub mitted to the University Building committee within 10 days, John S.

Carroll Addresses Lambda Chi Alpha Dean Dudley Carroll of the Commerce school in a talk to the members of the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity last Wednesday night said that an important part of an education, in addition to developing a good body and mind, is to learn how to mingle with people and make friends. Speaking informally on "Doing A Good Job," Dean Carroll ad vised, "Master what you find in your books now and you will master your future problems."

After he had written it, Hirsch, a graduate assistant in dramatic art here, described the "Atom i Cantata" as the "experimental of experimentals to end all ex perimentals." He little realized at the time that he was playing the role of prognosticator. Now understand, scientists are only "toying" with the idea and it probably won't have a con science but students at the Uni versity have something more than a -third-place-in-the-nation foot ball team to crow over. . They have, living in the same town with them, Sam Hirsch, the poor man's Nostradamus. 5 N 3 f 1 t 4 k . Vs. y 1 P Gins Plant mitte for the work are ready and will soon be turned over to the com mittee for consideration. Workmen have been busily clearing derbis left by the $60,000 Franklin street fire which de stroyed the building a year ago last Dec. 11. Reconstruction is scheduled to begin sometime next month. Bids on the re-building of the plant are expected to be in by the early part of March. Plans call for the front of the building to follow the Williams burg design in keeping with the architectural policy of Chapel Hill. The Jefferson Standard Life Insurance company will be in its same location next to the alley on the east side of the building. The University laundry will oc cupy the middle section of the building with the water and utili ties office on the west side. Second floor of the building will be devoted to supply rooms and workshops, Bennett indicated. Western Union is the only pre vious occupant of the plant whose offices will take up a new lo cation. The telegraph offices are presently located at No. 7 Old Fraternity row behind the Port Hole restaurant. No word of permanent location for Western Union has been mentioned recent ly. If the present plans go accord ing to schedule the new plant will be ready for occupancy some time in late summer.
