A 4800-word article, written by Jonathan Daniels, describes the University as "a place with an ardor for romance and for re form." Even during Civil War days, says Holiday, the Universi ty's combination of "high ideas and hilarity" brought it the next-to-largest student enrollment in the country. The article points out that the University's purpose is people and not. merely students: "Chapel Hill, with a new four year medical school, will be the teaching center of .a state health and hospital program adopted in a ballyhoo campaign in which alumnus Kay Kyser helped sell the state's health like hi5 spon sor's flour. Its Institute of Gov ernment today provides study courses in working democracy for politicians and small officehold ers from court clerks to cops. In stitutes are held for and by bankers, newspaper publishers and labor organizers. A new, well-heeled Business Foundation is providing funds for training young Southern business execu tives."

President c 1 ' Helen Eppes Elected to Secretarial Post' Of Greater University Student Council The Greater University Student Council, meeting Sunday on the State College Campus in the coming year and reviewed its first year of functioning. Holding the first regular elec-f tion under the constitution, the Council elected Dortch Warriner of Carolina - as Chairman; Pres ton Andrews of State as Vice- Chairman; Helen Eppes of Caro lina as secretary; and Glenna De Witt of Woman's College as treas urer. The constitution states, that each school shall have at least one of the elected;' officers, and that the chairman and secretary shall be from , the same school. In viewing the work that it has done in the year of its birth, the Council looked back on such pro jects as the formulation of a list of qualifications that the Council thought the new president of the Greater University should have; vigorously protesting the tuition increase as proposed by Governor Scott, and passed by. the Board of Trustees and the State Legisla ture; the laying of plans for Greater University Day; and many other matters. The tentative plans as made by the Council on Greater University Day, call for activities in which students from all three schools can participate, the State-Caro Una football game, and a dance the night after the game. Ar rangements are being made to hold the first of these days at the game next fall. The Council also passed on a motion that next fall three stu dents, one from each school of the Greater University, be allowed to sit with the Committee that is to select the new president. These students would have no vote on the committee but would engage in the discussion of possible can didates.

Freistadt said last night he had I received a telegram from Sen. Brien McMahon, chairman of the committee, asking him whether or not he would like to appear before the group. Freistadt wired McMahon that he would like to testify, and ask ed the committee chairman to notify him of the date. The full text of McMahon's telegram read: "Since your name was mention ed at an open meeting of the Joint Congressional Committee on Atomic Energy this afternoon I consider it only fair that you be given an opportunity to testify before the committee at your earliest possible convenience." "Should you so desire, please notify me if you wish to testify and a date will be arranged."

State Symphony Is Written Up In Time Section An article entitled "On the Move," in the music section of "Time" Magazine, tells the story of the fourth annual tour of the North Carolina Symphony Or chestra. The story includes the high lights of the concerts played by the Orchestra in Laurinburg, and has a two-column picture of Di rector Benjamin Swalin conduct ing the Orchestra in a ball park. A paragraph under the sub head "Beethoven in the Ball parks" says: "Last week with his orchestra mid-way through its fourth annual tour, Conductor Swalin was proud to boast that 'in North Carolina, the word sym phony is no longer something to be afraid of . . . "Ben Swalin had had his big idea for a traveling symphony while teaching music appreciation at the University of North Caro lina at Chapel Hill. There was hardly a city in the state that was laree enoueh to support a reeular svmDhonv. Swalin de cided that if people couldn't come ot the music, then the music should be brought to them." dance is a University tradition for graduation though this year's will probably be somewhat dif ferent from those of by-gone days In a biography of a Chapel Hill woman, Mrs. Cornelia Phillips Spencer, creative writing instruc tor Phillips Russell gives a de scription of a commencement ball in 1818. The quotation comes from General Edward Mallett, mem ber of the graduating class of 1818. "My coat was broadcloth of sea green color, high velvet collar to match, swallow tail, pockets out side, with lapels and large silver plated buttons; white satin dam ask vest, showing the edge of a blue undervest; a wide opening for bosom ruffles, and no shirt collar." The Carolina gentleman of 13 years ago continues, "The neck was dressed with a layer of four or five three cornered cravats, ar (See JUNE DANCE, page 4) Lilienthal Says He Is Against Loyalty Check 'It Would Hamper Science Progress' WASHINGTON, May 16. (UP) Chairman David E. Lilienthal said today the Atomic Energy Commission might hamper scien tific progress if it required secur ity checks on students receiving fellowships in non-secret atomic research. "There is no question of nation al security at issue here," he told a hastily-summoned meeting of the Joint Senate-House Atomic Energy Committee. "The sole is sue is how best to operate a fel lowship program." He was backed by Dr. A. N. Richards, president of the Nation al Academy of Science. Richards said such a security requirement would be "akin to Russian bu reaucracy" and would discourage young scientists who are on the sensitive side from seeking fel lowships. The Committee was called Into emergency session to review the loyalty issue in the midst of a Congressional furore over the dis covery that two known Commun ists had been granted fellowships by the Atomic Energy Commis sion. Rep. Carl T. Durham (D. N.C.) introduced a bill today to block use of atomic energy funds "for the education of subversive science students." Fellowship ap plicants would be required to fill out a "personnel security ques tionnaire" and testify to their loyalty. Rep. Lawrence H. Smith (R. Wis.) demanded the resignation of "every member" of the Atomic Energy Commission. "The Congress is on notice," he said. "It should act at once by demanding the resignations of those responsible for this at tack on our national security." The two Communist students are Hans Freistadt, a $l,600-a-year fellow at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. And a second, as-yet unnamed student who holds a $3,600-a-year fellow ship at an Eastern university. Sen Bourke B. Hickenlooper, (R. la.) revealed the second case. Lilienthal said his commission gave "long and careful consid eration" to the question of re quiring security clearance for such students but finally decided against it.
