Proposed Tuition Raise
To Be Discussed By Phi
The proposed tuition raise for students in the Greater
University will be discussed by the Philanthropic assembly
meeting in Phi hall, New East, at 7:30 tonight. '
By special action in last week's
meeting Phi members voted to
postpone consideration of the
Fair Employment Practices com
mission in order to give immedi
ate attention to the tuition quest
ion. The tuition raise has already
been condemned by the student
legislature, the Dialectic senate,
the University Veterans . associ
ation, the Young Republicans
club, the Young Progressives, and
other campus organizations.
A member of the Ways and
Means committee stated that in
view of the lack of support on
campus for the raise, tonight's
discussion will probably be con
cerned with ways of stopping
Governor Scott's proposal.

Ma dry Announces
Government Week
To Start Monday
Mayor R. W. Madry yesterday
proclaimed the week of Feb. 27
through March 5 as Chapel Hill
World Government week.
First, it is universally recog
nized that the problem of secur
ing a stable world peace is the
most vital problem today, and
failure to solve that problem may
endanger or destroy the demo
cratic way of life, the proclama
tion stated.
There is constantly increasing
sponsorship for the creation of a
world federal government as of
fering the best opportunity for
a solution of the problem, the
proclamation continued.
The proclamation pointed out
that it is of cardinal importance
that all Chapel Hill citizens fa
miliarize themselves with such
proposals in order that they may
form intelligent opinions and
reach wise decisions with respect
to them.
"I urge all of our citizens,
whether of voting age or not, to
make a serious and sincere et
fort during World Government
week to devote study and thought
to the reasons prompting, the
issues involved in, and the prac
ticability of the proposals for
world federal government," Mad
ry said.
Madry urged civic, religious,
and other organizations to devote
their meetings scheduled during
the designated week to study and
discussion of world federal gov
ernment proposals.

Atom Laboratory
Open to Public
Here Tomorrow
A laboratory m connection
with atomic research will be open
to the public here tomorrow af
ternoon from 3 to 5 o'clock, Uni
versity authorities said yesterday.
The installation, sponsored by
the division of biology and medi
cine of the Atomic Energy com
mission in cooperation with the
University, is housed in an army
surplus building between Phil
lips hall and Venable hall.
Officials said. that the labora
tory will be used for the develop
ment of research in radioisotopes.
Dr. Arthur Roe, who is currently
engaged in the organic phase of
research with radioactive materi
als, explained that radioisotopes
"are unstable forms of chemical
elements which are manufactured
in tne uaK Kiage laooratory
uranium pile. This pile," he con
tinued, "is a controlled atomic
bomb, so that materials put in it
become radioactive due to prox
imity of the uranium."
Preliminary to the formal open
ing, five University professors
will hold a seminar on the use of
radioisotopes in research tonight
at 8 o'clock at the meeting of
Sigma Xi, scientific fraternity,
in Phillips hall.
Discussion leaders will be Dr.

Roe, organic chemistry and Dr.
C. D. Van Cleave, anatomy. These
men are all currently engaged in
various phases of research with
radioactive materials.
1 North Carolina is one of six
states with facilities for the
training of men at both pre
doctoral and post-doctoral levels
in the peacetime use of atomic
energy. Other institutions in this
state participating in atomic re
search and training are Duke,
State and Wake Forest.
