In addition to opera, concerts and recordings, the tenor has been heard frequently on the air waves and has appeared in three films, including the Toscanini rendition of Verdi's "Hymn of Nations." One of the star's first RCA recording was "The Bluebird , of Happiness" whose sales have now gone well over the half-million mark.

Apartments I what to do with 400 men students Chapel Hill had so many "Apart ments for Rent", sighs, but the dream of low rents still is just a dream, according 'to James E. Wadsworth, University Housing Director. - "Privately owned apartments now rent from $40 $135 a month and at least 20 of these apart ments are vacant. Rents may be lowered temporarily as a result of the 314 new apartments in the Glen ' Lennox development but when the medical school, is com pleted in 1951, the demand for ducted 469 outstanding members of the student body.

WASHINGTON, April 196?) The Senate in a mood of cold fury unanimously voted praise and decorations today for the ten U. S. airmen lost in what this country calls a Russian attack on an unarmed plane over the Baltic. The vote of 66 to 0 was pre ceded by denunciations of the Russian action as "criminal" and "barbarous" and by demands for steps to see that nothing of the sort happens again. Editor Tom Kerr had explained to the .i body that such a raise would bring the Tarnation ap propriation up to exactly what it had been for the current fiscal year. He pointed out that the maga zine had taken a $1,000 cut last last year, .and had only been able to worked successfully by "cutting innumerable corners." Finance Committe Chairman Ben James sought to have the increase reduced to $400, but his motion was defeated by a voice vote. The motion to raise the Tar nation appropriation was pre sented by Hal Darden. It passed by 14-11. The class organization appro priation were finally passed as presented totaling $6,200 after Budget Committee Chairman Dick Gordon ' pointed out that to cut them would mean going against an agreement with the Board Trustees .that guaranteed certain -percentages of student fees to class organizations.
