A General Overhauling' Ringing Bells Confuse Eager-Beaver Students By Don Maynard The "Miracle of the Bells," as one lovely coed aptly termed it, made a command performance yesterday morn when the bells of South building rang out some eight times. What could have very possibly turned out to be a miracle when the bells first sounded at 9:20 leveloped into only a minor mys tery when instructors glanced at itheir timepieces and reassured kheir attentive students, "It's nly a false alarm, don't fret bout missing any of your lec ture. ' A few classes were fortunate when Old South sounded at. 9:48 and instructors with wry grins and admittances, "All these bells have ne buffaloed," allowed their charges an extra two min utes to grab, a cuppa joe in the Y. According to C T.KWomblc, campus head electrician, ,the mas ter electrical system which con trols the bells was undergoing a minor repair job. "Just over hauling the apparatus," he said. No one seemed to know exactly what was at fault. "If we knew," Tromble went on, "we'd have it fixed." It seems that since the electri cal system was first installed in 1922. it has been a headache. revious to that time, the bell i i . u C , .1 ? i- ri .iin.au neen rung, wntn icided it should be rung, by a convenient rope and suitable man-power. But in 1922, a masterclock was installed. This clock is now lo cated in the basement of South building, controling the South building bells and all the clocks in the class buildings.

Bleary-eyed students who were roused from their warm sacks at the 9:30 sounding of The Bells, scrambled into their clothes and dashed to 10 o'clock classes only to find the 9 o'clockers still con tentedly sleeping in the rear of their class rooms. "We wuz gyp ed," could bt! heard in the jam med Y building about "that time. ' It all boils down to the fact that an electrical engineer re puted to be a graduate of Duke was doodling with the works yes terday morning.

Red Literature Sent to Union By Communist Mill Employes Hear from Scales DURHAM, Feb. 23 (UP) CIO officials today charged the Com munist party with sending lit erature attacking management to union members.

The literature came through the mails, the union men said, to members of the Textile Work ers Union of America (CIO) local 246, at the Erwin cotton mills. it stated that the communists plan "to fight for you to show vnn wViv' thr Klnnrl anrl hrvnp is ...... ... Deing grouna out ot you to maite Kobert Murray, Dusiness mana- ger of the Durham joint board of TWUA, said he wanted to make it clear the literature came from the Communist party and was not in any way connected with his union. "We don't appreciate them sending out this literature to our union members," he added Two circulars had reached workers, 1 Murray said. The first was over the name of Junius Scales, former student at the University of North Carolina, and listed him as chairman of the Communist party in North Caro lina. The second was labeled as the first issue of "Textile Workers' Voice." Both were mailed from Winston-Salem, Murray said.

"Most of them are serious minded," Mrs. Young said, "but a few of them haven't been raised right and are a reflection on their mothers and fathers." CHAPEL HILL, N. C. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1949 ees musts oea Hurls Inefficiency Charging "gross inefficiency" in the handling of coed affairs in the Coed senate, P'age Dees, former member of the Student legislature, said yesterday she was forced to resign from the assembly last Thursday because of "the disinterest and lack of co-operation that is prevalent j Coed Affairs committee, the Glee Club Bill Ready For Legislature Today A bill to appropriate $1,500 for a combined Men's and Women's Glee club concert 'during the Notre Dame week end in New York is scheduled to be presented to the Student legislature tonight, student government officials said yesterday. Andy Cornish, chairman of the Finance committee, will also sub- j mit bills to grant $1,160.60 to Graham Memorial for payment of a debt incurred by the stu dent entertainment committee, and to prevent organization, re- ceiving money from student leg- islature to lend or borrow funds without consent of the legisla ture. Funds for the Glee club ap propriation, the bill states, will be drawn 'from the unappropri ated balance after May 15, 1949, and will be used to rent Car negie hall or 'Town hall" and to pay management of the concert and other expenses. The Glee club report to the fi nance committee stated that an appearance during the Notre Dame weekend would greatly benefit student participating in the affair and would contribute to the prestige of the University. However, the Glee club report continued, a trip to New York would be impossible without a fi nancial supplement by the legis lature. Proposed legislation on the prevention of organizations bor rowing or lending money without the consent of the legislature states, "No organization receiving funds from the Student legisla ture with the exception of the Publications board shall lend or borrow money without the con sent of the student legislature." Jack Worsham, chairman of the Rules committee, reported yester day four absentees during the Feb. 17 session. They are Herb Mitchell (UP), Johnny Clements (UP), Walt Carnes (CP), and Bob Mebane (UP).

Phone oenare, Charge former Student H?arty member was responsible for obtaining and submitting the Senate budget for the coming year to the leg islature. ' I asked for the budget and was promised it continuously for three weeks, Miss Dees said, "however, it was not delivered to me, despite numerous requests, until some four hours before I was due to give a report on it. , . In attempting to secure the bud get, I discovered that to my knowledge, the coed senate has no copies of its bills, resolutions, by-laws, or constitution. I finally secured some of the necessary in formation from the Dean of Women's office." "In looking over the budget, I discovered that block fees paid by the coed body are used for individual organizations which do not benefit the entire group." "For example," she continued, "part of the coed block fees are contributed to, the upkeep of the Carolina Independent Coed asso ciation. Obviously, all coeds are not members of that group. Neither are all coeds members of the Town Girls association or the Pan Hellenic council, which also receive allotments from the bud get. Corresponding men's groups do not receive such support from the men's block fees, but are maintained independently. I am not opposed to some allotments if they are spent in proper fashion but I do not feel that these are being spent in an equitable way. "I feel, as do a great many other coeds, that the procedures through which the senate allots funds to the various organiza tions should be passed and check ed frequently by the Student) legislature, in accordance with amendment one of the student constitution. The Coed senate has not followed this amendment and has manifested no intention of doing so, although the amend ment was passed in a student referendum vote last spring. "Carolina coeds," Miss Dees added, "have had the facts of the way their money is spent withheld from them too long. It is necessaryin order for the coed student government to operate efficiently, that the entire pres ent system of alloting coed funds be revised and unnecessary and ridiculous expenditures be elim inated. Our coed leaders are re sponsible to all coeds and they should be certain that the opera tion of the senate and its funds are handled adequately." Red Cross Workers To Meet In Gerrard All solicitors for the campus Red Cross drive will meet today at 4 o'clock in Gerrard hall, co chairmen Bill Pritchard and Dick Gordon 'announced yesterday.

F-3371 F-3361 )ir Ttoiio Phi Condemns Tuition Move By Large Vote Members Blast Governor Scott The Philantnropic assembly condemned the proposed tuition raise for the Greater University by a vote of 13 to 2 Tuesday night in Phi hall. Charles Britt led off a series of speakers with a denunciation of Governor Scott's proposal call ing Scott a reactionary and term ing the tuition raise as a step in a "Go Backward" program. He answered . the charge that tax payers should not have to pay for education for others by say ing that the tax payers benefit indirectly from better education for North Carolinians. John Giles described the add ed costs of living for students and voiced the opinion that the $25 listed in the catalogue for books would not even cover paper clips and paper. Dave Sharpe called the injec tion of professors' .salaries into the tuition question a "red her ring." Federal aid to education was Graham Jones' answer to in creased educational costs. He admitted that the cost of educa tion has risen 'greatly, but he contended that the "cost of ignor ance", is far greater. An amendment by Emily Baker that would have provided for in creases in tuition based upon grades' with "A" students exempt was voted down.

NUMBER 110 Burns to Run With Whitsett In Spring Vote First Nominees Named for Post Charlie Burns and Lem Whit sett will run as co-editors of. Tar nation on the University party ticket in the; spring elections, party officials announced yester day. The UP candidates, both rising juniors and both from Charlotte, are the first nominees released for the humor mag editorship by any party so far this year. The nominees have had con siderable experience in the publi cations field. Burns has served on the staff of Tarnation for two years and is at present handling material in the "Village Specta tor" section of the magazine. Whitsett has had experience in all phases of publication work with his family's photo-engraving business in Charlotte, and served as editor of a weekly magazine while overseas with the army during the last war.

If elected we shall publish a Tarnation that will be both funny and will be read. We intend to print the kind of humor magazine that the stu dents will appreciate." Mumford Speaks On Hill Rostrum "We are living in the world of the Superman of the comic strips," said Lewis Mumford last night in an address before a group of students, faculty, and towns people at Hill hall. In his fourth lecture of six on the future of Western civili zation, Mumford deviated from his original topic, "Social Organi zation and Personal Develop ment," to speak on our failure to evaluate, to direct processes of life by a "standard of ethical judgment." Declaring that our knowledge is adequate but our ethical judg ment horribly lacking, Mumford blamed the decay of Western civilization on a lack of ethical content, and said that our future depends on a restatement and recovery of values. He called those who experi ment with bacteriological and other means of scientific warfare "moral imbeciles" and said that while experiments with more hor rible methods of warfare are be ing continued, no comparable ex periments are being made with political agencies for peace, that the need of these instruments of destruction could be done a way with. UMT Appeal CHARLESTON. S. C. Feb. 23 (UP) Draft Director Lewis B.
