Joseph himself was a real child
prodigy, singing any tunc he
heard in perfect pitch at the age
of two. At four he fell and hurt
his left arm, resulting in a nerve
injury. When the doctors sug

en the muscles in the child's fin
gers, father Fuchs hit on an in
spired solution and brought home
an eighth-size fiddle.
At five and a half Joseph made
his first public appearance as a
concert violinist and was a bril
liant neighborhood success. At
17 he was graduated from the
Institute of Musical Art and set
out for a concert tour of Europe.
Since then Fuchs has , been in
demand for such appearances as
soloist with the New York Phil
harmonic symphony, a series of
New York recitals, and summer
festival engagements at the New
York stadium, Philadelphia's
Robin Hood Dell, Washington's
Watergate, and Chicago's Grand
Park.

Stradivarius. dated 1722: This
example of the Cremona master's
art is known as the "Cadiz" from
the city in Spain where its one
time owner lived. It is also call
ed the "Cannon" because of its
powerful tone.
Fuchs' program here tonight

Debussy's "Sonate"; Beethoven's
"Romance in F": Mozart's "Con
certo in D Major, K.218"; and

Room Registration Deadline
For Summer, Fall Is Friday
April 15 is the deadline for room reservation deposits for
the men for summer and fall sessions James E. Wadsworth,
director of the Housing Office, said yesterday. Students now
assigned to dormitory rooms have the privilege of reserving
space for the summer and fall terms. The summer school
deposit is $12, and the fall quarter deposit is $6, Wadsworth
said.
Room reservation deposits must
be made with the University
Cashier in the basement of South
Building. If a deposit is not made,
the present dormitory occupant
reverts to his proper place on the
priority schedule, Wadsworth add
ed. Students in the Quonset Huts,
Miller Hall, and those who live
in town may apply for dormitory
space by paying deposits.
A room reserved for the sum
mer only does not entitle the oc
cupant to that space in the fall,
Wadsworth said.
Six dormitories will not be
available this summer. They are
Whitehead, Everett, Alexander,
"C", Aycock, and Lewis. Occu
pants of these buildings who plan
to attend summer school will be
assigned to other rooms. All non
graduate students living in "B"
will be given other rooms for
the summer,' as this dormitory
will be used for graduate students.
Alexander and Stacy Dormitories
will be used to house new fresh
men in September; therefore,
students in these buildings who
will return in September will be
assigned to other rooms.

Dr. Marshall
Will Describe
Lnnar Eclipse
Swain Hall Talk
To Be Broadcast
Dr. Roy K. Marshall, director
of the Morehead Planetarium,
will describe the total lunar
eclipse, which is scheduled to ap
pear tonight, at 11:30 o'clock, in
a 15-minute broadcast over Ra
dio Station WPTF in Raleigh.
The description will originate in
front of Swain Hall, and is beirjg
arranged by, the Communication
Center.
Said to be the first time such
a broadcast has originated in the
South, the program will begin
during the total eclipse, which is
scheduled to begin around 9:28
when the moon will begin to pass
into the shadow of the earth. By
10:28 the last remaining bright
portion of the moon will vanish,
"An eclipse of the moon occurs,"
Dr. Marshall explains, "because
the moon, in its monthly trip
around the earth, passes into the
earth's shadow. At the time, of
a full moon, the sun and the moon
stand on opposite sides of the
earth, and the moon rises at sun
set. "It is only occasionally that the
moon passes through the shadow,
however, because the moon's path
around the earth is tilted a bit,
and the moon usually passes
above or below the earth's sha
dow. When the geometrical situ
ation is just right, though, the
moon does pass through the sha
dow and an eclipse occurs."
Fire Guts Home
Monday Morning
A Negro residence located at
the corner of Church and Cald
well streets was completely gut
ted by fire around 11:30 yes
terday morning. The house was
occupied by the family of Napo
leon Jones, a janitor with the
University.
Firemen arrived on the scene
of the fire within a few minutes
of the alarm, but were unable to
do more than save the walls and
prevent the fire from spreading
to neighboring houses. They ar
rived too late to save any of the
household furnishings.
The six-room dwelling, owned
by Winslow Williams of Carr
boro, is located outside Chapel
Hill limits and firemen had some
difficulty getting a sufficient wa
ter supply to control the fire.
No estimates of the damage
was available several hours after
the mishap.

GUSC Wants Life Seat
On Board .For Graham
The Greater University Student Council, meeting here Sun
day afternoon, adopted a list of qualifications that it decided
the new president of the University should have, and passed
on a motion that a request be sent, as a resolution, that the
Council favors Dr. Frank Graham be given a life-long seat on
the Board of Trustees. .
The resolution favoring Dr.
Graham will be sent to Rep. John
B. Umstead, for further reference.
As stated by the Council, the
list of qualifications is to stimu
late discussion and thought by the
students of the three branches of
the Greater University, in hope
that the students would be as
sured of consideration when the
time comes to select the new
president.
The list of qualifications, drawn
up as a statement to the students
was as follows:
"We, the Student Council of the
Greater University, meeting Sun
day, April 10, do submit the fol
lowing qualifications to our re
spective student bodies, which we
deem desirable in the selection of
a president of the Greater Univer
sity. We do this in hope that it
will stimulate discussion by our
student bodies and assure us con
sideration by the Governor and
the Board df Trustees in the se
lection of the new president of
the Greater University.
1. That he be an educator, a
man who understands, respects,
and encourages free student
thought.
2. A man of character and great
courage of conviction who stands
on intellectual integrity.
3. An administrator aware of
the problems peculiar to educa
tion who will look with equal in
terest upon the welfare and needs
of the three schools.
4. A man whose knowledge and
understanding will influence the
affairs of our time.
5. A man who appreciates the
problems and traditions peculiar
to this region of the country.
6. A- man whose life reflects
religious zeal.
We hope that no means will be
spared in searching the entire na
tion to secure the most outstand
ing man. There is no person more
important to the welfare of our
state than the man whose duty
it is to educate the youth of this
state in higher education."
Taking up old business, the
Council ran quickly over the pro
posals for the key, to be presented
to members after a years serv

Political Front
v At the End of the Rope
AFTER MONTHS OF CAMPAIGNING AND POLITICKING
here we are at the end of our rope and for some of us, that goes
literally. For today is run-off day, climaxing 1949 spring general
elections. After today's voting (between 9 and 6o'clock at your
favorite polling place), after tonight's counting, and after to
morrow's post-mortems it will all be over until next December
and some more elections.
And the End of the Race
HERE ARE YOUR CANDIDATES. For president of the stu
dent body, we have two distinguished gentlemen in the run-off.
Dick Gordon, running on the University Party ticket has served a
year as chairman of the Student Audit Board and also spent a
year as business manager of the Yackety Yack. Bill Mackie, his
Student Party opponent, has been chairman of the Student
Council for the past year, has served in the Legislature and was
one of the writers of the first student budget under the present
constitution.
For vice-president, we have Ted Leonard (UP) and Al Lowen
stein (SP). Ted has spent quite a bit of time in the Legislature,
serving this past year as chairman of the Elections Committee.
Al has served in the Student Council and the Legislature, and
was one of the original writers of the student constitution.
We're Boycotting the Weatherman
WE'RE NOT GOING TO MENTION THE WEATHER in today's
column. The last time we reported that the weatherman said fair
and mild, and election day turned out cold and rainy. So we
don't even intend to repeat the weather bureau's prophecy for
tomorrow. If you're interested, take a look' at the upper right hand
corner of the page. If you really want to know, don't believe
what it says there.
