The dance, which will be from- 10 o'clock until midnight, is the sororities' way of saying "Thank you" to the fraternities and other groups of men who have enter tained them this year. When the Council ruled out sorority parties for individual fraternities," Pan Hel President Lucille Rights said, "we decided that there should be some way to return the courtesies they still extend to us. Therefore we are having this square dance and in viting every man at the Univer sity to attend it." Arnold Wilson, popular square dancer from Candler that's near Asheville will do the calling for the dance, which will feature the regular mountaineer type of square dancing. Square dance type clothes should be worn, whicn means that the girls will have to get out their summer cottons and the men their faded jeans. Sorority girls have been asked to come without dates, and in his way the men will be able 11 i m -Jl. to meet tnem ana aance wnn them. "We want everyone to come to the dance," Lucille said. "This is the first time the sororities have done anything like this, and its success will depend on the size crowd." Students who do not like to square dance will have an oppor tunity to do slow dancing be twecn the square dances. Chorus Spots Open Opera Plans Released By Music By Art Xanthos Plans for the operas to be pre sented by the Musifc Department were announced yesterday by Joel Carter, Choral Director. The operas are Gluck's "Orpheus and Euridice" and Pergolesi's "La Serva Padrona," to be performed together on April 1 and 2 in Hill Hall. Since the Gluck is largely a choral opera, a large and capable chorus is necessary for its pro duction and there are still open ings in each section for choral singers, Carter said. As the chorus will have only a little part in the drarnatic action, there will be only one or two re hearsals a week until the last week of rehearsal. Anyone inter ested may see Carter in his stu- jdio between 2 and 6 o'clock this University will be the guest of Cover Girls Must Be In By 5 Today Collier's Cover Girl Commit tee Chairman Clyde Smithson said yesterday that applications for the contest must be in by 5 o'clock this afternoon.

New Clothes Are Coming For AROTC Many Air ROTC cadets here on the campus wUl soon make their appearance in new slate blue uniforms, symbolic of the 'wild blue yonder." Col. Jesse Moorehead, com manding officer, announced that the uniforms were recently or dered from Jacob Reed's Sons, nationally known clothing firm in Philadelphia, and would ar rive in time for the annual Mili tary Ball, Feb. 25. First year advanced cadets and members of the drum and bugle corps are me oniy ones scnea- uled to receive the uniforms at the present time. However, many numbers of the senior class who exPect to Z on active duty after graduation, ordered uniforms at their own expense - Costing the Air Force approxi mately $75, the new uniforms will be the personal property of the cadets, which they will keep after graduation, and will include black shoes, pants, blouse, shirts, tie and garrison cap. Oxidized silver buttons and insignia will also be furnished the cadets, ' Next year's members of the junior class will receive the new blues and by 1952 every Air I ROTC cadet on the campus will I have been issued a new uniform. Dook Warmup Is Successful; Scott Card Stunt Movies Open Slow-Moving Sper-Led Cheering By Wuff .Newell Several nunurea stuuents, who nau luniu out lor txie university oiuo s "iseai jJook ' pep rauy anu Xom Scott nignt last night sat in- tne semiaariaiess of Memor la'l.

Finally the cheer leaders arrived, and then Joe Chamblis complete with long red hair, a blue and white skirt and a sweater that would make even Evelyn West turn green with envy, appeared on the stage and livened up the crowd with cheers that were supposedly imported from Peace College in Raleigh. r But it wasn't until Coach Tom Scott came onto the stage that the crowd really began yelling, and then their cheers completely filled Memorial HalL When Scott finished praising the team by saying "tomorrow night we play Duke again, and I think that the boys will prob ably come out on top," the crowd gave him a standing ovation. Nemo Nearman, introduced by eHad Cheerleader Norm Sper stole the show with his introduction of the other players. Sper, who never once mention ed the words "Beat Duke, asked the students present not to throw programs tonight. - "I know we all get mad at some of the decisions of the ref erees," he said, "but if the floor gets too littered with the pro grams, tne reierees win nave a perfect right to call a technical four on our team." Sper had prefaced his request with a remark that Frank Leahy made to him when he was in New York recently. "When Carolina came up to play us in New York," the Notre Dame coach told Sper, "I re ceived a thrill I had never ex perienced before. It was the first time an opposing school had ever cheered for my players when they were taken from the field." "We have a reputation for our good sportsmanship and spirit," Sper said, "So let's keep up that reputation tomorrow night." The University Club had planned such an event before the N. C. State game several weeks ago, but only a handful of stu dents turned out for the affair, and it was called off. Plans for last night's rally were laid by a University Club com mittee headed by Frank Allston. Honored J. Strotris Wife Is Angel To Fraternity Pledges COLUMBIA, S. C, Feb. 16 (P) Mrs. J.

It was in fulfilling the condi tions involving the first lady that the students hit a series of snags. - Proposed Block Fee Raise Is Backed By Van Noppen, Sanders In YDC Meet Talks By Chuck Hauser A student block fee raise to $5.50 per quarter for undergraduate students and $5 for graduates was advocated last night by the two candidates who will stand election for the presidency of the student body on April 4.

Board Chairman Roy Hol sten, whose resignation from the Men's Council left an at large seat and tha - chairman ship of that body open, said the selection group met for more than four hours interviewing and discussing candidates. The other vacancy, a senior position, was vacated by Ben Jones. Stacey was recommend ed to fill that seat, while Vaden Tomorrow Is Deadline For Budget Requests Student body Treasurer Andy Cornish yesterday -called for all campus organizations to turn in their 1950-51 budget re quests by Saturday as the Budget Committee buckled down to work on the fiscal dilemma. The Committee is faced with Invitations Here Today Invitations to the 1950 Com mencement exerpises will be on sale today in the Y lobby from 9 to 11 o'clock, Bill Roth, spokes man for the Grail, said yesterday. The invitations come in three styles and three prices, Roth ex plained. The 15-ccnt style is of the Dutch fold type and is for general use. The 35-cent style, which is usually sent to relatives and close friends, has a heavy paper cover and is illustrated with 11 pages of pictures. The 75-cent style has a leather cover and is styled as a graduation souvenir. After arriving late last night and calling the governor's man sion, they were promised a pic ture right away. That was okay until they dis covered they had no flash bulb. No flashbulb could be located to fit their camera.

Vaden Are Board replaces Holsten, who was holdover member on the Coun cil, in the at-large post. President Bill Mackie was not available to make the appoint ments official yesterday even ing, Holsten said. He had hoped to be able to have them sent to last night's session of the Student Legislature to be ap proved.

A total estimated revenue of around $75,500, not including the $l-per-quarter-per-student Gra ham Memorial appropriation, is expected 'for the 1950-51 fiscal year.V Cornish " asserted. This year's figure is $32,000. ' The new estimate is based on present , studpnt fee payments from 6.500 students. This year's is based on a 7,200 enrollment.; Under the bill pending in the Legislature ' Finance Committee, which Cornish is backing, under graduate fees would go up to $5.50 from $5 per quarter, and graduate fees $5 from $3.85. Cornish has pointed out before the Legislature that such a raise is imperative if present budget levels are to be maintained. Action on the bill is expected next Thursday.' It was tabled for a week in Finance Committee when some committee members asked for detailed figures on the effect of the proposed raise. - A total of 16 organizations, minus the Publication Board which receives approximately two-thirds of the appropriations, are listed in this year's budget. Coal Strike' Talks i - .. - - " ..-. Still Hung-Cole WASHINGTON, Feb. 16 UP) day of coal ! After a, second peace talks failed to produce an agreement, David Cole, President Truman's observer at the ses sions, said late today he will advise the White House that the deadlock is unbroken. Cole .told reporters, however, that he knew of no further gov ernment action that is contem plated at this time. itiej operating at tne present level. They spoke at a political action meeting sponsored by the Young Uemoerats Club in Gerrard liali. Van Noppen, who made the lirst bnei taiK ol ' the evening, com mented negatively on tne pro posed move to present the ques tion of a fee raise to the student body in the form of a referendum. "it is the Legislature's duty to vote on the fee raise," Van ;n op pen asserted. "They are elected to represent the students in their districts on matters such as this." Shortly after the Student Leg islature meeting earlier in the evening, Ways and Means Com mittee Chairman Charlie Foley had revealed that his group had defeated the proposed referen dum bill by a vote of four to two, "with two or three abstaining." But SP Floor Leader Graham ; Jones, author of the bill and a -member of the commitee, said he would rework he measure and bring it before the group again next week. It was not reported out of committee in any form last night. Sanders told the YDC meeting that he was personally for the $5.50 and $5. raises, but that was "t the maximum he would consider. He pointed out, on the subject of the difference between gradu- ate and undergraduate fees, that k grad students were paying for ' everything they received this year their bills would run about $13.50 for the year, instead of $11.55. Undergraduates now pay $15 per year. The $1.50 difference be tween that and the $13.50 grad students "should" be paying would be equal to the difference between the $5.50 undergraduate, and $5 graduate fees under thc raise proposal, Sanders explained. Herb Mitchell, UP vice-presidential candidate, was the only other campus political speaker at . the Gerrard Hall Meeting. The SP has not completed its nomination for that post yet. Mitchell suggested that the vice, president's post should be more than just the speakership of the Student Legislature. "The vice-president should not only see that the Legislature functions adequately and proper ly, but he should cooperate closely with the president in carrying Featured speaker for the even ing was Bedford Black of Kan napolis, regional YDC organizer for- six states and the District of Columbia. He discussed, the YDC precinct and county set-up and politics in general.' "Don't go into politics except for the love of the game." he warned his audience. "Because there's sure no money in it." Black said the important thing in an election is to get the vote out, regardless of what party a voter belongs to. Faux Pas Muriel Fisher got cold early this morning. She had every right io get cold.
