'Snafu Is Word For Fees by Billy Carmichael III (Ed. Notes This is the first in a series of three articles by former Publications Board ..Chairman ..Billy ..Carmichael 111 which will attempt to orient students into the problem of ..the ..student block fee structure.) This is the story of the squeeze in fees. It is the story of the student block fee structure, its present, past and future. It is the view of those in publications who have watched the fee structure in ac tion in publications for the past two and one-halt years. Watched a blind and scrambling start of the fee turn into chaos within a year, then settle down to an ab normal operational pattern where publi cations along with everyone else got caught in the rush for the necessary funds for operation and progress. The story has three parts and when you have read them all, you should understand why publications wan and demand a re formation of the fee structure. The reader will be told the background of the fee, the mistakes that have been made in the creation of the fee and never corrected, and a program for the immediate future that should remedy the situation and give student government a means suitable to its aims. ' It all started back in 1947, when under . the new Constitution a budget was to be -drawn up and passed by. the Legislature under which all agencies of student gov ernment were to be run. The infant Bud get Committee got a late and rushed start. The block fee itself had to be approved by the Board of Trustees, and such things took time. The approval came and seemingly under the advice of all concerned, the Trustees allowed the Student Legislature to set the fee at an amount not to exceed $20 for the year. The fee was set at $5 per quarter which was about what students were paying un der the old frozen fee at the time. ' For prior to the establishment of the new fee, all monies for student activities were col lected by South Building and distributed on established, frozen basis of so much per student, no political strings or bicker ing attached.

These aren't the exact figures, but that's the general idea. They feel that the stout hearted lads who give their all in sports combat for dear old alma mammy 'are being" 1 over-worked. They are the members of Yale's Torch Society. This or ganization, Yale's top honor group, consists of seniors who have distinguished themselves in various fields of academic and extracurricular campus activities. De-emphasis of sports is what they're recommending. In their statement, they said they want Yale, and the other Ivy Leaguers including Harv ard, Princeton, Cornell, Dart mouth, Pennsylvania, Colum bia and Brown "to undertake to stop thc tide towards ex cessive time spent on athletics by voluntarily limiting the role of major sports.' They see professionalism rearing its ugly head. It is their opinion "that the intensity of university athletics has grown to a point inconsistent with the best interests of well-balanced higher education."

The checks will average about $125, but some will be as low as 90 cents and some as high as $528. . ' They represent an accumula tion of cash from premiums on government insurance in excess of the amount needed to carry the program. The first day's checks have gone out to postoffices all over the country in bundles.

By a vote of 16-9, it "dissolved," turned campus politics back into a two-party show, and ended an organizational career that began on March 7, 1947. The motion to dissolve was made by Jim Lamm, who headed a special committee appointed last week to draw up proposals for a "merger" with the Student Party. I he dissolution motion hit like a mild bombshell among the mem- Three Profs Found Dead On Luzon Graham Is Winner 'Of .Capital's Heart By Drew Pearson WASHINGTON, Jan. 16 A modest little man who looks like a small-town hardware merchant has completely won the heart of cynical Capitol Hill in less than a year. He is Frank P. Graham, former ; president of the University of ' Phi Session To Consider Three Bills MANILA, Jan. 16 () Two American University professors, their bodies pierced by spears, have been found in a shallow grave in the wild mountains of northern Luzon where head- hunters used to roam. The discovery was reported by i U. S. 13th Air Force Patrol. t had been on the two-week ground and air search for Dr. Robert F. Conklin and Prof. Marvin Pittman. The patrol reached the grave in the Ifugao country some 200 miles north east of Manila late yesterday. Col. James L. Meader of the U. S. Embassy said the patrol reported three Ifugao had con fessed spearing the educators and burying the bodies after robbing them. The patrol said the three Ifaguo implicated three other natives who were being sought by Philippine constabulary troopers. The grave was found yester day by Filipino trackers with the Air Force ground patrol. They led American members through dark jungle depths to the spot. North Carolina, now Senator from tljat state. Graham is as friendly and disarming as a puppy, has a lively twinkle in his dark eyes, and has sparse gray hair that looks as though he'd just come in from a windstorm. When Dr. Graham was ap pointed to the Senate last March, John Bricker, right-wing Repub lican, raised the clamor that the newcomer was a '"radical," Sen. Forrest C. Donnell of Mis souri, a conscientious conserva tive, asked his GOP colleague, Wayne Morse, "What kind of a fellow is Graham? You served with him on the War Labor Board." ' , . To ; the .deeply religious Don nel, Senator Morse replied, "For rest, I have often said you were the most Christian man I know, Frank Graham is the most Christ like man I know." Months later, Donnell remarked to Morse: "Remember what you said about Frank Graham being thc most Christlike man you know? Well, I share your opin- ion. Whenever Senator Graham rises from a Senate desk that al most swallows him he is the shortest man on the floor Sena tors come back from the cloak room to listen. This is a tribute few men in Senate history have won. Frank Graham is not an orator, in the manner of dramatic Ar thur Vandenberg. He speaks in a soft drawl, but he is able to put in simple words the great problems of the day, and point the way clearly to their answer After his Senate speech on the Atlantic Pact, Republican Sen Charles Tobey, nimselt a vivia phrasemaker, remarked in awe "Frank Graham's speech was the greatest I have ever heard in the Senate. The Senator has given us a pattern, not for my party or his party, but a pattern for Ameri ca. I commend his state for hav given him to us as a Senator.' After another Graham talk (See GRAHAM, page 4) Resolutions condemning the Ku Klux Klan, favoring the establish ment of a $100 fund for the use of President Bill Mackie, and favoring U. S. intervention in Formosa, will be debated at the Phi Assembly at 7:30 tonight in Phi Hall. Frank Schell, acting chairman of the Phi Ways and Means Com mittee, said the main-bill of the evening will deal with the For mosa problem. The Reverend John A. Weid inger, local Catholic minister, will be guest chaplain of xthe Phi to night, Speaker Herman Sieber announced. Seiber said that further plans for the Phi's campus-wide Par- iamentary Procedure Institute will be made and committee re ports will be heard in an execu tive session following the debates. Legion Sets Dimes Dance The Chapel Hill American Legion will sponsor a March of Dime3 benefit dance to be held at thc Naval ROTC Armory Jan. 28, Capt. William M. San- ford announced yesterday. The Jimmie Perkins Band of : Burlington will provide music for the dance, which Capt. San ford promised "will be sweet and low." The Legion annually promotes benefits for the March of Dimes. According to Sanford all bene fits will be turned over to the National Foundation of Infantile Paralysis. bers. It was not among the three proposals the committee had pre sented to the SP. Only Toby Shel by and former Sudent Body Presi dent Jess Dedmond voiced for mal opposition to the motion. Many of the leaders of tiie dead party announced they were join ing the ranks of the Student Party.. Bob Clampitt, who has served as chairman of the party since December, Ed Best, former party legislator and Legislature parliamentarian, and Bob Smith, also a party legislator, all immedi ately attended a SP meeting go ing on at the same time. Charlie Long, the Party's un successful student body president ial candidate in last spring's elec tion, was the only formal speaker in favor of the Lamm motion. Asserting that he himself was out of the political game, Long said the Party "had fought with honor on the field of political battle." He explained his stand with: "I belive student government ' stands On a perilous base, and further disipation of the few who control it will be disastrous. "It is a hard pill for you to swallow, - but what you do will help student government, and that, in the final analysis, is the object of all political parties." Before dissolving, the party had nominated Andy Cornish as its candidate for student body secretary-treasurer in the special election called for next week. It also had named three replace ments to vacant Student Legis lature scats. The CP, youngest of campus political organizations, entered the campus arena just before the 1947 spring election, when a group of former Student Party mem bers formed it after walking out of the SP. They bed split after a disagreement over the Party's power to expell members. The Party never won a major campus post unaided by double- (See DISBANDS, page 4) Makes 55,000-Mile Trip UNC Proffessor Microphotographs Two Million Historical Work Pages Coffee Klatch Slated At 'Y' YWCA entertainment this week will include a social hour given at 7 o'clock in the Y of fice tonight in honor of students from Norway, Denmark and Holland. Special guests at the cofTee ,hour, sponsored by the Coffee Klatch Committee of the Y, will be Johan Andresen of Norway, Niels Lassen of Denmark, and Gerrit Tolet of Holland. The Klatches are given in or der for the students to learn more-about the foreign countries represented on the campus and for the foreign student to be come acquainted with American students. Dr. William S. Jenkins of the Political Science Department in the University traveled 55,000 miles to record on microfilm the equivalent of 2,000,000 pages of historical documents found in official ' and private collections throughout the 48 states, ac cording to the education section of Time Magazine last week. Dr. Jenkins began the project in 1941 and devoted each sum mer to the job through 1948, ex cept for three years in the Navy with the Overseas Administra tion. He devoted full-time to the project last year. With the backing of the Uni versity and $100,000 from the Library of Congress, Dr. Jenkins j and his photographer, took their equipment through legislative archives, university libraries, historical societies, rare book shops, attics, basements, law courts and Indian reservations. According to Time, they un earthed and photographed early court calendars, state lunatic asylum records, governors' let ters, city treasurer reports, let ters to U. S. Indian agents and manuscripts of colonial legisla tion. Among the documents uncov ered were ' the Massachusetts Body of Liberties in 1641 and the only perfect copy of An Ab stract or Abridgment of the Laws Made and Pat by Wil liam Penn of 1701. Now Dr. Jenkins is busy in the Library of Congress sorting indexing and cataloguing his findings. The inventory of the work, to be published in about three months, will be called Monumenta Americana. At that time historians will be able to locate material that few would ever have been able to see be fore, and scholars, schools and libraries can then order the documents themselves on micro film. - 'Holding His Own' ANN ARBOR, Mich., Jan. IS IP) Humorist James Thurber foresees dire things for men in the next 50 years. "Women, of course, will be stronger and more numerous and there will not be many men around," he wrote in reply to a question from the Univer sity of Michigan Daily student newspaper. The author of the book "Men, Women and Dogs" also noted that: "The dog appears to he hold ing his own." The Daily asked Thurber, and several other noted persons, what could be expected during the next 50 years.
