C; THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1950 Phone F-3371 F-3361 NUMBER 90 'Must Use UN,' Mrs. Roosevelt Tells Weil Lecture Audience 'Can't Achieve Without, Yet,' She Asserts Not Enough Unity Is In World Today, Says UN Delegate In view of present world conditions, "we must use the United Nations for the fur therance of peace at this time." Mrs. Eleanor Roose velt said in her second ad dress in the annual series of Weil Lectures in Memorial Hall last night. "Wc can't achieve any real results under any of the other ideas advanced so far because as yet there is not enough unity and understanding among the various nations to sit around the confer ence table now and make rules for the future, said Mrs. "Roose velt, who is one of five United States delegates to the General Assembly. Illustrating her point that there is still a great lack of understanding as far as customs, habits, religion, points of view, and ideals of government among the various nations, she told of an experience with a lady delegate from Pakistan at the first UN meeting in London.

The purpose of the bulletin is to encourage students to use the student union as much as possible. A new plan has been adopt ed recently , by Panhellenic Council 'whereby the five so cial sororities on campus will entertain fraternities with Sunday evening coffees and Panhellenic functions instead of with individual parties as has been the custom for the past iew years. "There are several reasons for our adopting this plan," Lucille Rights, president of Panhellenic Council, said "In the first place there are ap proximately Z6 fraternities on campus and only five sorori ties. Because of this unbal anced ratio, the sororities have been invited to more parties than they could possibly re turn, and for this reason it has been very hard for them to keep their social obligations. "Then, too, since the fra ternities have a great many more members in them than do the sororities there is ob viously a difference in the fi nancial . status between , the two." Lucille said that the sorori ties will continue to welcome invitations from fraternities. "The sororities will return the courtesies with Sunday evening coffees at the individ ual houses and with special social functions which the Council will give," she said. Although fraternities will ceivc special invitations to the coffees, nonfraternity men will continue to be welcome at them. "We don't want nonfratern (See PANNELL, page 4) Bill Prince, chairman of the Student Party, and Graham Jones, S.P. Legislature Floor Leader, renewed their attack on the University Party yes terday describing the UP pro posal to add seven dormitory representatives to its 24 man steering committee as : a move by Greeks bearing strange gifts." "UP leaders say that dorm stu dents should not be impatient about gaining fair representation on the ruling councils of the UP. UP leaders boast of the fact that their party is twenty years old, and yet after twenty years on campus all the UP can offer 5,000 non-fraternity students are seven I seats as compared to 24 seats for 1800 fraternity people. The UP started promising reform in 1946 wnen tne btudent Party was formed. They are still promising and dorm students are still wait ing," they continued. "We in the dorms are also still waiting for the UP to tell the campus how many non-fraternity people they have nominated in the last five years." Prince and Jones stated that "certain persons have called the SP 'anti-fraternity.' We find from a quick look at our roll which is open to every student on campus that there are more fraternity men and sorority girls in the SP than on the entire UP steering committee'.'' rrT "The UP editorial sheet in the DTH accuses the SP of being un representative, but the. truth is that every open campus organ ization except the Karl Marx Study Club, is represented in the SP. The UP editor says that '25 students' run the SP. That is not true at this week's meeting, for instance, over 50 people attended ttnu on mai nigni tnere was a basketball game." The Chapel Hill PTA's big va riety show which will be present ed next Wednesday night in Woollen Gymnasium will feature some outstanding dancing groups on the program. The famous Greenwood Square Dancers, who have received state-wide acclaim, will be on hand to donate their services for the benefit show. Last year the Greenwood group walked off with top honors in the state contest for folk and square dancing which was held here in the latter part of spring. Choo Regan, elongated perform er for the Carolina Clowns bas ketball team, will serve as caller for the dancers. Another of the well-known dancing groups will be Bob Cox's "Mud Cloppers." This group, comprised of University talent,! will present a tap-dancing show. In addition to Cox, the group will include two other former Tar Heel gridders, Sid Varney and Bob Mitten and Lloyd Jones and Sam Grist. Sam Andrews will accompany on the piano. Also sharing the dancing spot light will be Miss Ruth Price's physical education majors in what promises to be a hilarious exhibition of folk dancing.

President Mackie Speaks In Behalf Of Worthwhile Montreat Meeting Take it from Student Body President Bill Mackie, who was one of the student leaders of the Montreat conference last year, the retreat planned by the two Y's for Montreat again this year is "worthwhile for the individual as well as for the campus as a whole."

The prime purpose of tonight's discussion, according to UP leg islature Floor Leader Dave Sharpe, is to "gain information on the subject for legislators and the general student body." Sharpe pointed out that the Leg islature wants to take action on the fee situation, but is biding its time in order to give the students more time to form opinions on the issue. Legislative action is tentative ly slated for the middle or latter part of February when the bud get issue comes up. The bill is now in the Budget Committee, and then onto the floor of the Student Legislature, - Sharpe made it clear that ev eryone is invited to participate in tonight's panel, and added tha.t questions and suggestions from the floor will be appreciated.

See H-Bomb Blast In 1951 WASHINGTON, Feb. 1 : American atomic leaders today were reported hopeful of explod ing the world's first hydrogen "super bomb" in 1951 or even earlier. Presumably the test would be conducted on a remote Pacific island such as Eniwetok, the scene of the triple blast of new and improved A-bombs in the summer of 1948.
