Continued Progress On The Hill It's finally official now that Gordon Gray will be the next president of the University of North Carolina. And the enthusiasm displayed by the student "body over news that the present Secretary of the Army had accepted the position is an indication that there will be a continuation of the present relations existing on campus between the admin istration and students. Gordon Gray without doubt is one of the most respected public officials in the public eye today. One illustration of the state's confidence in him came when the Board of Trus tees unanimously approved his nomination for the presi dency. Another excellent example of the attitude of the students came when the Carolina Political Union's Inquiring Reporter, after consulting 20 different students, could not find one single adverse remark about Mr. Gray. The new presidential appointee has a wide range of in terests which should make him well-liked by the student body. At Carolina he participated in a number of activities, and he has continued his versatile ways in later life. The Daily Tar Heel congratulates the Board of Trustees on its wise choice for the presidential position. It is en couraging to note that Gray is a native North Carolinian' as well as a graduate of this University. On top of this he is a first-rate administrator, thoroughly familiar with Carolina and the youth of this state. Carolina will continue to progress in its role of intellec tual leader of the South. Senior Activities Building Class Spirit Planning the activities and functions of the Senior Class this year has been the job of the officers of the class under the leadership of President Al Winn. At the beginning of the year it was decided that there must be something within the class to arouse interest in activities of the Senior Class. With this in mind, the Senior Council was organized. The Council is com posed of twelve members, six of these members being com mittee chairmen, selected by the officers from a complete list of Seniors in the University. The Council meets with the of ficers and makes allt plans for the Senior Class. Those on the Council are Mina Lamar, Page ' 1 Ilarriss, Mabrey Bass, Dortch Warriner, Disk Gordon, Bootsie Lyons, Jeff Bulluck, Becky Muggins. Norm Sper, Sam Ma gill, Norma Jean Dew, and Ted Young. A concert by a big name band is now being planned for the near future. This is to be spon sored by the Senior Class and Off Despite the misconception of many students concerning the Campus Chest drive and its purpose, early returns from several housing units Monday night showed that the true spi rit of the Chest was beginning to be felt. Reports from Mclvor dormitory showed 20 per cent of residents contributing with a total of $65.00 from 20 con tributors. The average contri bution made Monday was better than $2.00. Leading the red strips across the large chart in the Y lobby was Delta Psi fraternity, which turned in contributions from 65 per cent of its members.

June Crockett will be opened to the entire campus. . In the spring there will be a social function for the Seniors and the officers hope that the traditional Junior-Senior Dance will once again be continued this year. Suggestions are being con sidered for a suitable gift to be left the University by the Sen ior Class. Bootsie Lyons is hearding the gift committee. Committee chairmen of the Senior Class are as follows: Senior Week, Dick Gordon; Dance and Concert, Dortch Warriner; Publicity, Mabrey Bass; Gift, Bootsie Lyons; and Cap and Gown, v Mina Lamar.. Most of the committee are al ready functioning. The officers and the Senior Council are attempting in ev ery way to make all members of the Senior Class realize that they are seniors and thus be come interested in Senior Class activities. It is now the part of every senior to arouse spirit among themselves and cooper ate with the officers and Coun cil in all their planning. Campus Chest With A Bang By Mike McDaniel centrate their efforts Monday night after making their first reports. Pi Beta Phi sorority was second on the chart, with 35 per cent of its resident members making first night contributions. Old East was first among men's dormitories, reporting 30 per cent of its residents. (For last night's returns, see the block on page one). It is perhaps too early for a prediction, but from returns thus far it looks as if we may (and we certainly should!) top last year's cam paign results at WC, where 2,000 students gave $4,T)00.00 to WSSF alone! Davidson College, (enroll ment: 957) gave $6,500.00 in their drive last year an aver age of $11.00 per student! We Inquiring Reporter On Gray By Charles R. Scales On Monday the trustees ac cepted Gordon Gray for the presidency of the Greater Uni versity. Following are seven opinions on the prospective president's qualifications, gath ered by the Carolina Political Union's Inquiring Reporter in answer to the question: (Each of the people inter viewed is a resident of North Carolina. Both the East and West sections of the state are represented in the panel.) FAISON HICKS, 109 Manley: ' I think Gordon Gray will make a good president. He had a fine record when he was here at the University. I don't think it is bad that he has no back ground in educational admini stration for he is a man of worldly affairs and should be a good practical administrator. He is bound to be well-rounded to be able to hold the position he has in the government. ' RYLAND DUKE, 204 Man ley: From what I've read I think Gordon Gray is most capable and he has a good background. I don't object to his lack of experience in edu cational administration be cause he has the quality of leadership, as is evidenced by the job he holds in the gov ernment. He had a wonderful record here at the University. JACK TAYLOR, 102 Mangum: Gordon Gray can be useful as president of the University.' He has brainpower and discretion. He is youthful. His ideas are plastic. His political record so far has shown he is a Southern liberal and a wide-awake man. I think it is agreed by both parties that he has done a good job in the government. WALTER WHITAKER, 301 Mangum: Gordon is certainly a scholar. I think he has proven his ability as an ad ministrator in Washington. We need a preeminent man in the presidency to make con tacts. The job will be a chal lenge to him any man who takes Frank Graham's place . will have a tremendous task but I think Gray is qualified to be president. JOHN VINCENT. 414 Man gum: Although I don't approve of his inexperience in educa tional administration Gordon Gray has proven himself a good man is other fields and should be helpful to the University. I think he'll make a" fine presi dent. BOB EHLE. 307 Lewis: Gordon Gray fits the job. He is well-qualified; he is good in administrative work and has had enough experience in education. He is a native North Carolinian and ac quainted with the job the University has to do. He's (young and that will be help ful. In politics I think he hiis a happy medium, but even if . he were a conservative I would have no objection to him. I don't believe his brand of politics would be detri mental to the progress of the school. NED EURGESS, 319 Lewis: I have no objection to Gordon Gray's becoming president of this University. aren't asking that that phenom enon be repeated here, but it is hoped that all students will'rea lize hat this is our ONE drive, combining all other drives, the only drive to be conducted here this year. After nil the hub-bub concerning the beauty contest, it is time to wake up and rea lize that we are meeting our challenge and responsibility in this drive to do our individual bits for relief at home and abroad. We are al tryng to build a better world, and the Campus Chest is our best oppor tunity for active participation. Let's not be content with a min imum gift; pledge what you would like to give, and meet that pledge. "This is your only drive. Back it up!" II 9 Distributed by KinB Features Syndicate by arrangement with The Washington .Star Those of the supercillii who have relegated Somerset Mau gham to the ranks of the mere ly literarily competent will be vastly disillusioned with most of "Quartet," the excellently done Eagle-Lion Production of ; several of the master story tel ler's better tales' which will ap pear at the Village Theatre' today.

There if also the pungent Maugham satire giving them a lively spark. The "Kite" seems the belter of the two because it doesn't lapse into . a conventionalism, over-emotional ending, yet it does lack the sentimental appeal of "The Lady." The "Kite" is a hilarious, yet sympathetic study of English lower middle class life. Mau ham gives an original twist to the familiar mother-son-daughter-in-law conflict. The hen' (Hermione Baddeley)-and--chicken (Susan Shaw) -pecked, 7 little clerk (George Cole) loves, and lives only, to fly kites. ' However, wifie thinks that the-.' kite strings are made of mom's apron strings. She demands -that Georgie give up his kites, -f; Georgia won't.

Yes, heart disease kills more people than any other" malady. The American Heart Association is at this time launching a drive to procure funds for the further study of the diseasas of the heart. This is a cause we, all should back. A portion of the funds col lected in the Campus Chest Drive has been allocated to the A. H. . A.

There are six common diseases of the heart, three of which are most prominent in the younger generation. Con- easy to riCK the Loser!" . Carolina Seen .- Don,t Miss "Quartet' By Bill Kellam whimsical, understanding of the problems of the unimagi native little cockney whose sole outlet for the bit of poe try in his soul is his kites. The mother, daughter, arid father are memorable charac ters, especially the mother. "The Colonel's Lady" is polg nant tragedy and sharper satire which chronicles the deflation of a Colonel Blimpish country gentleman. His meek wife au thored a volume of torrid love about her long lost lover. The squiah has a tough time weath ering the snickers of his iriends because of his wife's apparent cuckolding, but the real defla tion comes when he learns whom the lover really was. . '. Cecil Parker is excellent as the obtuse old goat who did dles in the city with his high class trollop while his forsaken wife doodles in .her notebook on their lonely estate. Maugham tears apart the useless life of the English landed gentry with a fiendish glee. Yet he counters this derision with the tragic nobility of the long-suffering wife, ably acted by Nora Swin burne. "The Facts of Life" most nearly approximates the blase little tale for which Maugham vis famous, or i n f a m o u s. among protectors of artistic art. The teen-aged son of an -urban Colonel Blimp goes down, ; unchaperoned, to Mon- le Carlon to participate in a tennis match and then to 'have a bit of sport at the gaming tables, etc. A young adventuress considers our he- genital heart disease (some ba bies are born with defective hearts), Rheumatic heart disease (along with rheumatic fever, causes more deaths than any other disease among children of school age), subacute bacterial endocarditis (most likely to oc cur between the ages of 15 and 35 years). Those which appear .later on. in life are: Cardiovas cular syphilis usually . becomes evident in middle age), coro nary heart . disease (may begin in middle age-most common in older individuals). . . There is no question about . the . fact that today the out looks in heart disease is" a hopeful one. A great deal has already beeri learned., about how- to" prevent , and cure some' types of heart disease. A great deal more must and is to be learned. Medical . Science is at work on the puzzling questions of how , to prevent diseases of the heart and blood vessels, how to cure them, and how to help people with heart diseases live longer, more useful lives. Howard Wainer President, Alpha Epsilon Delta Premedical Society ro, who does himself most handsomely at the roulette wheel, fair game and picks him up. This lusciously laden dish, voluptuously portrayed by Mai Zeiterling, then pro ceeds to roll him. For Mau gham's clever ending, see the movie. Jack Waterling is su fficiently callow as the mo mentarily prodigal son. Basil Radford is complacently stuf fy as the amazed father who tells the tale to a group of bloated clubmen. (The "Uh, huh, I guess so, but what .does . it mean?" depart ment.) Says John Terry dance cri tic of the New York Herald Tribune, in his review of "Tread The Green Grass." "What Mr. Fitz-Simons has done is go the .whole way in using whatever element of art- . expression he needs to give fullest value to his production and in using dance, in its ca pacity of meaningful movement, as the catalytic agent uniting these various expressional ele ments. . Simply stated, he has matched the degrees of intensi ty inherent in or implied by the script with comparable . forms of communication. . Jt is as simple as that." Oh yeah. You know, this Terry character must have ghosted the theory of relativity. "The Alien Corn" is alienat ing ahtist. Honor Blackburn is tions toward virtuososity at the pianoforte of an insufficiently talented young fading violet amongst a group of well mean . - ing, but oh-so-insensitive Phil istines.

Ed gar Hoover's lengthy session with Senate Appropriations Committee last .week regarding A-bomb leaks, newspapers re ported that s Senators left the meeting ashen-faced over the disclosures. Here is what Hoover said to cause those ashen faces. Hoover dramatically report ed that subversive activities in the United States are at an all time high worse than during the war. He also revealed that Com munists are doing- away with Party cards in order to prevent detection and conviction. In stead, they identify each other by word of mouth. Hoover told the Senator's that Communists were mak ing a special attempt to infil trate into strategic industries such as telegraph, telephone and the manufacture of elec- -frical equipment. Asked point blank by the Senators whether there still was a spy ring in side the government. Hoover answered "no." The head G-Man camplained that Elizabeth Bentley's sensa tional disclosure two years ago had been premature and that as a result the FBI lost many sources that had been care fully . planted for ten years in side the Communist Party. Listening to Hoover as he testified was Sen. Homer Fer guson of Michigan who was partly responsible for the Bent ley disclosure. Ferguson, to gether with Congressman J. Parnell Thomas, then Chairman of the Un-American Activities Committee, heard about Miss Bentley in connection with the Communist Treason Trial being prepared in New York and jumped the gun on the Justice Department. In order to cop the news headlines, they called Miss Bentley before their com mittees and smeared her testi- ' mony all over the front pages. Hoover was testifying in or der to secure appropriation for about 700 new employees. He illustrated the work of his G Men by telling how during the first trial of Alger Hiss, the FBI was unable to locate Hiss' maid. All Mrs. Chambers could re member about the maid was her name, "Mary." However, after the first trial, Mrs. Cham bers dug up a rough sketch she had made of the maid, gave it to the FBI, and' after honey HTP 5 H6 17 18 1 f W n i2 i 18 2CZI 22 23 P24 25Z II50 51 52 ll dl 1 1 1 vaA m HORIZONTAL 1. selected 6. nautical command 11. gnawed away 12. monkey-like animals 14. jackdaw 15. growing out 17. pinch 18. within 19. click beetles 21. symbol for tellurium 22. tries out 24. correlative for either 25. goad 27. observe 28. indefinite article 29. eternity 30. without guile 33. eagle 34. mother ."55. varnish ingredient "7. town in Itaiy :SS. note in scale 39. deer cries 41. diminutive for Edward 42. mythical swimmer 45. exclamation of surprise 46.

ThU v. a? the most top-secret phase r the Manhattan project. Hoover testified at machine gun speed throughout the closed-door session. Hero ar1 some of the figures he rattle-i off regarding crime in the U S. A. Last Year: 1,636,670 major crimes commited in the entire country; the big increase sinm 1941 have been 67.4 per cent more "aggravated assaults," 35. 2 per cent more rapes, 27.5 per cent more burglaries, 24.4 per cent more robberies, 7.3 per cent more larceny. However, murder has dropped 0.7 per cent since 1941, manslaughter has de creased 5.5 per cent and auto thefts 11.5 per cent. The FBI, he said, had a record of 97.2 per cent convictions last year. Here is the background in which Dr. Klaus Fuchs, arrest ed as a Russian spy in London, worked in the U. S. during the war. Los Alamos, where he was stationed, was unlike all the other atomic installations and not compartmentalized. In other words, .scientists did not work in secret compartments, but were familiar with each others work. There were some 600 sci entists at Los Alamos, of which the foreign "colony" numbered about 6020 British, 2 Swiss, 10 German refugees, and some Italians. Sir James Chadwick headed the British ' delegation; Fuchs was not considered on the first team, but rather on the second. Since there was no compart mentalization, his exact scien tific standing made no differ ence as far as collecting data was concerned. Fuchs' friends recall that he first worked on atomic mat ters in Canada, at the Chalk River plant in northern On tario. This is Canada's chief atomic lab. Next he went to New York, where he was as signed to working out the plans for the Oak Ridge di ffusion plant; then on to Los Alamos. 2. in what manner .3. hypothetical force ' 4. blinds 5. feminine name 6. change 7. change direction 8. exist 9. heavenly body 10.
