On Thursday night some person or persons apparently attempted to burn down Graham Memorial, the student union building. If this was not the intent, the deed could easily have resulted in destruction of the entire building regardless. & H It seems that about 11 o'clock that nights someone set lire to the paper-covered bulletin board next to the GM office on first floor. The flames quickly spread to a shelf i'bove the bulletin board and could have made further ad vances had the fire not been discovered promptly. As it stands now, the damage is little, but the implications of the act are serious. GM Director Jim Rathburn made the following statement yesterday on the fire: "Thursday night, February 16, 1950, some idiot or idiots in a malicious act of vandalism set fire to the bulletin board outside of the Graham Memorial Main Office. Damage was slight. The insult to the student body is incalculable." Rathburn also added that it might be necessary to clear the building completely at closing time, 11 o'clock, although many student leaders presently have business in the build ing occupying them until well past this hour. ' It is regrettable that the actions of some idiotic person should jeopardize the privileges enjoyed by students with business in Graham Memorial after hours. The incident is akin to thefts at Woollen Gymnasium which necessitate locking that building tightly at night. A Delegated Power The Student Legislature, -scheduled to consider the pro posed block fee raise and a referendum measure on the mat ter Thursday night, didn't get around to either one. The actual fc6 raise bid did not come out of committee because Legislature financiers needed more time to consider the problem, one of the most serious and vital to come before the law-making body in some time. The referendum bill is a different story. Although it was not reported to the Legislature, Ways and Means Commit tee Chairman Charlie Foley said after the Thursday' night session that the bill was being reworked by its author, Gra ham Jones. The reason Jones is reworking the bill is be cause the committee voted it down four to two in a meeting earlier. Instead ok reporting it out unfavorably, Jones asked that he be allowed to rewrite the measure and again submit it for the group's approval with the possibility that it might get a chance to come on the floor favorably after all. We feel that no matter what form the bill finally appears in, it is doomed to failure. We are convinced that the Legis lature will recognize and accept its duty as the representative law-making agency of the student body to pass on such vit ally important matters as this. It is not a question of the student body being deprived of its right to vote on the prob lem; it is a matter of the Legislature shirking the duty which the student body assigned to it. At the risk of repeating ourselves, we would like to stress that there are only three apparent reasons why an individual legislator would want a referendum: (1) He wants' to kill the fee raise outright; (2) He is afraid that if he supports the raise it will have political repercussions when election "time comes; (3) He sincerely believes that the student body should have a direct voice in the matter. The first two we can do nothing about. We hope the third case will see his way clear to accepting the responsibility which has been specifically placed on his shoulders. C.H. is Pan Hel Doing Good Job The Pan-Hellenic Council, representing Carolina's five sororities, is to be commended on the active role it has been taking recently in providing its share of entertainment for the campus. Their recent activities, coupled with a dance given earlier by the CICA, indicate that the coeds on campus are doing their share of entertaining. On Thursday night of ths week, Pan Hel presented its annual floor show in the Rendesvous Room of Graham Me morial. Each of the sororities presented a short skit, and the Stray Greeks took up a collection for a group of girls at the Methodist Orphanage in Raleigh, which the Pan Hel girls are "adopting" this year. A packed house witnessed the program. And last night Pan Hel was host at a square dance im mediately following the Duke-Carolina basketball game. All the girls gave up their dates for the night to come "date less" to the Square Dance to insure an ample number of girls for the affair. It is encouraging to note that Pan Hel is aware of the need for better entertainment for the. students. Thus far, under the capable presidency of Lucille Rights, Pan Hel lias been of real service to the campus. CHUCK HAUSER TAYLOR VADE.M Adv. Mannger Oliver Watkins Bun.

Judy Sanford, Carolina, Seen How to Win A Campaign By Bill Kellam Some 15 politicos, a self-confessed bootlegger, two students, a lone coed, and various and sundry undergraduate journal ists gathered in Gerrard Hall Thursday night to hear the - chosen and aspiring candidates for the presidency John Sand ers, SP, and Don Van Noppen, UP and the vice-presidency Herb Mitchell, UP, and Bill Prince and Dick Murphy, SP of the student body discuss how they were going to win the 1950 elections and what they con sidered said election's vital is sues and problems. This representative group then proceeded io leH itself the I two potential voters left right after the bootlegger said he didn't bring any with him how to stir up student interest in the coming elec tions and what a few of its views were on some of the main issues of the coming elections were. Bedford Black, a Kannapolis' lawyer who's now the Regional Director of the Young Demo crats Club, was the unheralded bootlegger in question. He ad vised aspiring young Democrats and Republicans, too, not to get mixed up in politics if they hoped for financial gain, for it just doesn't work out that way. He told how he spent thousands; ,-, f Vmnrf rnA rtllnrp rf V io miTn jx nuiM ii jx unii time and money getting boot f? leggers out of jail, and organ izing the YDC, too, all for the love of the game. All he got out of it was $2.08. for stationery, which the YDC National Headquar ters graciously donated. And Black said he stepped into the job without knowing what he was letting himself in for. Now he knows differently, he remarked, id the tune of $690 monthly phone bills, large traveling expenses, etc. The campus candidates stress ed the fact that student govern ment must capture the interest of the student body in the very near future or it'll be too late and too bad, for s. g. The repre sentatives of both parties de clared that they were going all out to stir up the general in difference toward campus poli tics and show the students how beneficial a strong student gov ernment can be to them in its immediate campus benefits and as a source of training for post graduate life. The candidates all pledged a clean campaign and an empha sis on vital, relcvent issues. The proposed block fee raise was discussed the most, with all candidates agreeing that the coming drop in enrollment will necessitate an increase in fees so that student activities can operate at their present level. However, the candidates didn't say anything about an overhaul of student finance and a general economizing program which could do much toward consolidating the al legedly shaky according to J. P. Morgan Carmichael, III. it's so shaky it'll fall in no time at all student govern ment budqet. It was gratifying to see theg candidates acknowledge th relevance to student welfare of .i national and international af-; fairs. The problem of loyalty oaths, of the admittance of Ne-.; gro graduate students, of nation- ; al foreign policy. Perhaps stu- dent government is snapping ' out of its lethargy.

Burn Victim. 4, Is Optimist WASHINGTON (JP) On the i first anniversary of 4-year-old f Mike Rectors stay in the hos-; pital, members of the Optimists ; Club presented him with a sound movie projector and named him . Optimist of the Year. ; Optimist Bert Langhenry turned on a circus film, but all Mike could do was look at the pictures. The dialog turned out to be in Spanish. .... Mike has undergone 32 skin'. grafts, covering nearly 70 per cent of his body since his cow- boy suit caught fire a year ago. The incident received nation - wide DUblicitV. alone with some similar cases, and many man- ufacturers of children's costumes are now fireproof ing them. Distributed by Ring Features Syndicate by arrangement with The Washington Star The Washington Merry - WASHINGTON. You have to 1 3 - -1 A il nave a caru-muex system mest; days to keep up with the ac cusations of certain Congress man regarding Communists in the Federal Government. Unfortunately the average citizen doesn't have time to keep a card index, so gets con fused that there were 57 card carrying Communists in the State Department. When the Senator from Wis consin finally was pinned down, he . could produce not 57, but only four names of State De partment officials whom he claimed were . Communists. , A careful scrutiny of these names is important. Of the four accused by McCarthy, one, Dr. Harlow, Shapley, at no - time worked for the State Depart ment. Two, Gustavo Duran and Mrs. Mary Jane Keeney, re signed four years ago; the fourth, John Service, was reinstated after a prolonged and careful investigation and after virtual apologies to him for ever ques- tioning his loyalty. He is now serving with the most anti-Russian of all American diplomats, Loy Henderson, U. S. Ambassa dor to India. But there is even more in teresting background behind Senator McCarthy's charges. Somewhat the same charges were made three years ago by another Republican, this one Congressman Bartel Jonkman of MichigSh, just across the lake from McCarthy in Wisconsin. On Feb. 26, 1947, Jonkman To the Editor GOOD SUPPORT On behalf of the University Club and the pep rally corn- mittee of the University Club, I should like to publicly thank a all those who helped to make our "Beet Dook" pep rally and Tom . Scott Night program a success on Thursday night. First of all lots of the credit goes to Mark Barker and Sound and Fury for giving up an hour of their practice time so thai we , ' could use Memorial Hall. Al so to Mark for the time he gave us on his radio show in ' order that we could thor oughly publicize the event; to the band and Professor Slo cum for their fine music; to Norm Sper and the other cheerleaders for their part in the program; to Mr. E. Car rington Smith and the Com munications Center for help with the publicity and to all the others who gave their time and services to making our rally a success. And last, but not least, our thanks to the student body for supporting our little venture, .; We couldn't have had a more sniritprl nr mnrp rwr,nnt:iva f group. ' kfeavy load on the and il J Frank J.

Jonkman al so hurled some accusation at Joseph Panuch, then Deputy Assistant Secretary of State. Actually Panuch was the man who eased out Keeney and Duran, but Jonkman attacked him anyway. As a result, Panuch sued Con gressman - Jonkman and the publisher of the Washington Times-Herald for libel. The suit against the Times-Herald pub lisher had to be dropped be cause of her death, but the Congressman from Michigan compromised the suit with an official abject apology which stated: "It was not my intention to accuse you of lying or of any other improper conduct in con nection with your duties as De puty Assistant Secretary of State during your tenure of office." The Congressman also paid Pa nuch's court costs and, incident ally, was defeated for re-election. . But now, after both the vot ers and Mr. Panuch took care of the Republican Congressman from Michigan, almost exactly the same charges are shouted by the republican senator from Wisconsin. With Bible in Hand, Baptist Harry Truman preached , a ser mon the other day to a dozen Methodists ministers. He start ed off by assuring: "Well, I am not going to preach a sermon." Nevertheless he fingered through his Bible, read two chapters out of Isaiah, and upon this based his hope for the peace and happiness of the world. "You said you didn't intend to preach a sermon, but you act ually preached an excellent ser mon," responded Bishop J. .Ralph Magee, head of the Meth- odist Church in Illinois, when the President had finished. "I am sure that all the gentle man present would be happy to have Harry Truman fill their pulpits any time he could find it possible," added Illinois' Sen. Scott Lucas, who had intro duced the ministers at the White House. This brought applause from the ministers Truman went to congratulate them for coming to Washington' to study their government, and suggested that more people should visit the Capital to study what the President and Con- s gress are up against. , "Mr. Lucas is carrying a very .. . ... Go - Round , assistance Truman added. As a "parting shot, the Presi dent reminded the visiting mini sters that his primary "theme in life is to bring peace to man kind." On Capital Hill, the big issues of the day are not- always dis cussed on the' floor of the Sen ate, but in the Senators' private restaurant. There, Senators are . franker than when their words are recorded by a stenographer for posterity to read. But in the Senate restaurant today, hottest topic is not Rus sia, nor China, nor surplus po tatoes but Ingrid Bergman's baby. Virginia's Sen. Willis Robert son is firm in the view that society must frown on -Ingrid's Illicit romance with director Roberto Rossellini and the ma jority agree. Privately, however, Senators sympathize with Miss Bergman's right to live her own life. 'I guess the must have fallen crazy in love," mused- Texas' elderly Sen. Tom Connelly over his bean soup. The most charming gavel banger on Capitol Hill is now Mrs. Alben Barkley, or Madame" Vice President. While her husband presides over the Senate, she presides over the Senate Ladies every Tuesday. They meet to roll bandages for the Red Cross, to plan an annual tea for the First Lady, or just to gossip. Mrs. Barkley didn't go out and compete for the job of presid ing officer; she married it. In fact, the news of this new re sponsibility was broken rather coyly by none other than the Vice President. "Do you know anything about Parliamentary procedure?" ask ed Barkley with feigned inno cence. "Heavens, why?" was the su spicious reply. "Well, you are going to have to preside over the Senate La dies," announced the Vice Presi dent. Mrs. Barkley thought it over for a minute, then replied: "Well, I've been in Red Cross groups for 15 years. We never needed any Parliamentary procedure." But just to be on the safe side, Vice President gave his wife a few easy lessons. Whe- ther i4 was this or hcr own tact the Second Lady has been a big hit as a presiding officer. Classic Victor Comes Across By. Al Johnson ' RCA Victor, which we oc casionally think must be con- trolled by men similar to the. current Hollywood moguls who insist in the face of rising losses that they know what the public wants, last month final ly joined the ranks of some twenty-odd other record man ufacturers in producing the 33 RPM Microgrooe record. Thus ends a controversy which had almost ruined record sales for a year, and had increased the national temperature by several degrees over the uncertainity of the situation. (You doubt lessly remember the Fliegie Bird, who always flew backward in order to see where he had been.) The possibility of having the tremendous Victor catalog on LP is a most pleasant thought, but, as might be expected, the initial releases are not going to inspire the serious collector very much. But there are sev eral interesting and welcome items, such as the following: Book I of the WELL TEMPER-' -ED CLAVIER (Preludes and Fugues, No. 1 through 8), Wanda Landowska, harpsichordist; the Schumann SYMPHONIC ETUDES coupled with the Cho pin ETUDES by Brailowsky (two 12 LP); Prokofieff SON ATA No. 7, and the Kabalevsky SONATA NO. 3 by Horowitz; PICTURES AT AN EXHIB TION of Moursorgsky, also recorded by Horowitz; and the Tschaikowski SLEEPING BEAUTY BALLET MUSIC, re corded by Stokowski, and this is one of the few Stokowski ef forts we will go along with. It is Victor's best effort from a technical point, also. And one very welcome item the Shaw recording of the Bach B MINOR MASS, on three 12 inch LPs. Also that Katchaturian Piano Concer to, the Grieg Concerto, Sche herazade, and similar com mercial items. Cetra released last spring a 78 RPM recording of Verdi's LA FORZA DEL DESTINO, later issued on two 12 inch LPs in an abridged version. It was done by the EIAR Symphony and chorus conducted by Gino Marinuz"zi, the noteworthy soloists being the soprano Mar ia Caniglia and mezzo Ebe Stig nani.

Robert Lawrence has called Maria Caniglia the "greatest dramatic soprano of our gener ation," and she may well be just that. In the scene "La Verginn degli Angeli" with the chorus of monks, she is supurb in what is generally one of Verdi's most effective scenes. To the Editor IMPROVEMENTS NEEDED Editor: If any of you Carolina Men had come slumming through Battle-Vance-Pettigrew several weeks ago you would have been astounded by the numerous com plaints from students who try tu abide by cleanliness. The hot water system was harly adequate for anyone to attempt a shower without either freezing or try ing to bathe under a dribble of water. Fortunately this situation has been remedied. I am. sure the residents of this dormitory join me in ex pressing sincere appreciation to those persons responsible for our continuous supply of hot water. Thanks! We hope the mainten ance department won't stop with this major improve ment but will preceed with plans to paint our dying aris tocratic dwelling. The walls are miserably filthy, certain ly not conductive to any in terest in, keeping the place clean. And lastly to revive a dead issue might I suggest that the possibility of tele phones in each of the units be investigted again. In the past petitions have been signed, and the residents have joined together consistently for better telephones, but to no avail. However, we're not com plaining. After all our Grand fathers didn't have telephones; and they survived. Needless to say these dorms have made us realize the advantages in slum clearing projects. Walter T.
