Honesty Pays Off Proof Positive: Carolina Gentlemen Still Prevail, Says Manager Stamey Dick Stamev. rising junior from Canton, is convinced that there is still a vestige of the Carolina ppntlpman left in current Uni versity students. At least as far as small change goes, for a little UNC honesty has paid on ior the popular dorm manager of Old West. stamev was pleased to see Coca Cola mechanics installing the flashy red Coke machines in nis dorm. That is, until nis cnarges fmm the first floor up began A. ,r,riin on his door at all hours of the night and morning, demanding change for "tnai aaa- burned machine that wont iae anything but nickles." For several sleepless nights Stamey held out. Then as his patience began to wane, his trust a On C been interviewed to determine eligibility for admittance under the point system "which has been carefully and impartially set up," Mackie continued. "However" the dean explain ed; "with the means of selection available it is entirely possible that some members of the class of 1949 have been overlooked.

Stamey decided to test the honesty of Old West inmates, and do himself a favor at the same time. On the outside of his dorm manager's door, Stamey tacked a cardboard box containing a few dollars in nickes, free to all to use in making change. That was two weeks ago. To day, Stamey is walking about campus, his head held high, a smile upon his lips. , "The Carolina gentleman?" he will reply to anyone who asks. "Why, he is certainly one of the most honest creatures this side of St. Mary's." And then Stamey will tell of .(See PROOF, page 4) annpus earliest convenience.

'Our Best to You' at Capps Airs "Jimmy, how many listeners would you figure you have kept awake since you began the "Our Best to You" series in Septem ber, 1947?" asked an admirer of the popular Cupid of the air ways. "Well," Jimmy Capps smiled, "that's hard to say. But the folks at WPTF tell me I put them to sleep nightly." Capps came to the campus yesterday to iron out a few dif ficulties that have developed ov er the "Music Under the Stars" feature when he will be guest disk-jockey Sunday night. His petite wife, Aimee, and Worth White, a fellow broad caster, accompanied him on his visit to the Beta house to pick up the requests students have submitted for the program. He tadf Will Di Denounces Loyalty Test For Students Freistadt Appears At Senate Meeting By Jim Southerland By an overwhelming vote of 18-3, the Dialectic Senate went on record Wednesday night as opposing any loyalty board screening of applicants for gov ernment scholarships. Communist Hans Freistadt, just returned from testifying be fore a Congressional committee in Washington, denied on the Di floor that he owed supreme al legiance to any country or or ganization other than the United States. "I follow the Communist Par ty only as long as the Communist Party expresses my own politi cal beliefs," stated Freistadt. He stated his opposition to any lo yalty board "that checks a man against a list of so-called sub versive organizations to decide his loyalty." - The debate of the Di members was one sided but heated, with only two speakers supporting the loyalty screening. One of these, Tom Mayfield, later voted against the screenir? and explained that his speech had been solely for the purpose of debate. A" substitute bill was intro duced by John Saunders which also favored loyalty screening, but the substitution failed. Saun ders later explained that he had introduced his measure in order to clarify the original bill and had hoped to kill it later. Opposing the loyalty screen ings on the grounds that only a criminal court could decide a citizen's loyalty were Bill Foster, Dick Bowen, Jimmy Lamm, Jim Southerland, Murray Goldenthal, and Don Shropshire. Goldenthal closed his opposi tion to board screening by add ing that he wanted to see "some checks to safe-guard atomic en ergy secrets." Di President Don Shropshire charged the screening advocates with "trying to do more damage to American democracy than the Communists will ever do." Com menting on the University, he called it, "the one place on earth where a man can say anything he believes." At the beginning of the reg ular meeting Shropshire an oounced the names of 12 Di Mem bers who have been authorized by the Di Executive to wear the Di key as a mark of their meri- (See DI, page 4) UNC First Outdoor Program will use 40 of these as dedica tions Sunday night. Capps would like very much to 'play all the 30-60 requests he receives at WPTF daily, but must settle for the 20 that may be squeezed into his 60-minute 11 o'clock to midnight broadcast. He began working in radio while attending Central High in Char lotte in 1936," and. I've been in radio ever since, much to my mother's chagrin," he reflected. If the good weather man is willing, Capps will air "Our Best to You," for student consumption only from the porch of Graham Memorial. The University Club presen tation will run from 9 to 11 o' clock Sunday night, providing two hours of relaxation after a mi T AN ADMITTED former Communist, Paul Crouch (above is shown as he testified at a Senate Judiciary sub-com-millee heaering in Washington.

"This is my first experience with the program outdoors,' Capps explained, "though I did read poetry to the girls at Mere dith one time." Several members of the Uni versity Club visited Capps in his studio last week and asked him to make this guest appear ance. "Why, I'd be tickled pink to come over," he replied, even though Sunday night is his night off. "Even on Sunday, it's not work," said the pleasantly-around-his-thirties, bespectacled boss of the turntable. tike ' si fc?

It also assured by Chairman David E. Lilienthal of the Atom ic Energy Commission that May Sue Hans Freistadt said yester day that he will "consult legal advisers" about the possibility of bringing a damage suit against the government if his Atomic Energy Commission fellowship is withdrawn. The 23-year-old Austrian" born youth, an admitted Com munist, said the letter he re ceived from the National Re search Council notifying him of his appointment as a fellow "slated that when I had writ ten a letter of acceptance, it would constitute a contract." He said he had written the letter of acceptance and had received an acknowledgement. Informed of Dx. Dellev W. Bronk's statement that the council might dig up private funds to make up for the fel lowship, Freistadt said: "I would be grateful for that alternative. But I still believe that there are not adequate grounds for cancelling the orig inal fellowship.".. steps have been taken to make certain that public money is not spent to further the education of any other Communists. Lilienthal was handed an ulti matum to block education of young Communist science stu dents at government expense or see it done by law. Sen. Joseph C. O'Mahoney (D.- Wyo.), chairman of the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee which passes on the commission's funds, handed out the dictum when Lilienthal was questioned about the $1,500 government fel lowship for non-secret physics research awarded to Hans Frei stadt, Communist student at the University of North Carolina. Under fire from O'Mahoney, Lilienthal told the committee that officials of the National Re search Council, private organi zation which distributes science fellowships for the commission, 'realize they made a mistake" in granting one to Freistadt. He said that Dr. Detlev W. Bronk, council chairman, has "voluntarily" agreed that all fu ture applicants for fellowships should be required to sign non (See FREISTADT, page 4) Later Hours Set For Rathskeller Ted Danziger, manager of" the Ramshead Rathskeller, said yes terday that in response to stu dent requests, he would leave the Rathskeller open from 11 o'clock in the evening until 1 o'clock in the morning -tonight and tomorrow night for the convenience of students attend ing the Charlie Barnet dances in Woollen Gymnasium. Danziger said many requests had been made for a suitable place in town to take coeds and imports for a bite to eat after dances. An editorial in the Daily Tar Heel recently ex pressed the same desire. Danziger announced that cof fee, milk, soft drinks and food would be served during the special hours. He also said that tonight would see the premiere presentation of the "Rambur ger," which he described as "the real man's hamburger.
