We can be happy and content with our one delivery and bo glad that we are getting mail at all. 2. We can get mad and demand that the U.S. Post Office Department give us back our afternoon delivery. This would require that people all over the country 'write their con gressman. All we could do locally vould be co start firiiig v letters at our congressman and hope that it .would catch oh nationally. If you think that they have cut the wrong "item on the national budget this is the thing for you to do. : -'"' 3. The third and the move which would benefit us locally would be the establishing of a Post Office on the campus. A college station, something on the order of those had at nearly all our brother institutions. All colleges and uni versities of the size of; Carolina have their own Post Office on the campus! The advantage in this form of mail delivery is the saving in carrier service and the simplyf ying . of the handling of the mail. With the cut in carrier service one of these has been practically met. The second can only be ac complished by. .actually establishing a post office on the campus. There are five mails coming into Chapel Hill each day: 6:30 a.m., 11:00 a.m., 3:30 p.m., 5:00 p.m., and 8:00. at" night. This means that the mail is sorted to the different carriers then the carrier sorts it .to the various dorms, then when , the carrier gets to the dorm he must again sort the mail into the various boxes.. This means a handling of the mail three times when it. could be handled only once, that is when, it came to the college post office it would be put into the1 boxes as it was brought to the Post Office. This rehandling of the mail also means that it is just that much later that you receive your mail. If you received a letter at the post office ut 1 1 : CO u.m. and the mail is not brought to your dorm until 11:00 a.m. it will be 24 hours until you receive that letter,, although it may have only taken that long to come from home. The same is true with those who only get an after noon delivery. Your mail can sit in the post office for up to a day and you are unable to get it. Plans were made in 1939 for the establishing of a Post Office on the campus. The location of this Post Office was" to have been in the basement of South Building but ilans fell through when the University decided that this location was unsatisfactorv. The reason given was that the j'n trance was too small to accomodate such a large number it it,udcnts. Since then no plans have been made for estab KsTttV&such a Post Office on the campus even though the Post Office Dept. has constantly brought this matter to 1he attention of the University. The University has a very large and long range building program but there is room in the plans for a College branch of the local Post Office. Ed Teague. Sound &Fury Review By !m1 Hosansky "Black-Jack Davie," the new Sound and Fury show running through Friday night cf this week at Memorial Hall, is a smooth and interesting produc tion. Tlit,1' sets are .very fine, the lighting imaginative, several of the songs tuneful, and the act ing quit?' adequate. Consider ing the .handicaps involved bot h her life, had the appropriate softness for the role, however his air of cultured fatigue could be somewhat varied with a little more life.'.Thei comic v'acV tors, Mark Barker and Nancy Young worked ably with what they had, though Barker' seem--cd somewhat uneasy in his part. His extremities vibrated mpre than they ought to have. A less in string ' what seems to be a jerky playing of the role would rn out -intimate type musical in have been desirable. the ;Srast mausoleum that is Memorial Hall and in running thfcshow fast on the heels of spring for Sure" which took most of the musical talent for itself, the result was much better than might have been ex pected. The acting in places lapped but on the whole was passable and at.-times excellent. Forrest Covington, a retiming horse- trader, v'is the vfrile. mascu line "fore-; the authors intended he be. Betty Lokey, hi.rocur-ity-seeking wife, handled the role in her usual charming man ner. Her appearance kit no thing to be desired, although the somewhat colorless nature of the part seemed to have left her baffled at times. Carl Vipperman, the other man in The script unfortunately suf fered from several weaknesses. Both the serious and comic ele ments were underwritten with the result that the. songs bore more of the brunt of character than they ought to have". -it-' seems that a more delicate type r of musical was in the" minds of Hammerstein and Covington, but they went too.! far in 'the direction of "delicacy. The'direc tor trying to. correct the. Refect erred on the side of the senti mental and romantic. The block ing of the love-duets with the couple-; involved walking hand end hand over the illimitable -regions of the Memorial Hall 'rtRge, seemed especially weak. For the rest, leaving out oc casional stiffness in the move ments, the direction was good. WASHINGTON Some time before leaving on his whistle-stop trip, President Truman held a hush-hush dinner with one of his most vigor ous political enemies Senator Brewster of , Maine. . The dinner was held not in the White House, but at the Carlton Hotel. And it wasthe Presi dent who inspired the meeting. He and Brewster' had worked together , on the old Truman Com-( mittee, once had been warm friends. ;., Chief result of the Carlton Dinner was a challenge to test out the -Fair Deal. Brewster is chairman of the Republican Senatorial Cam paign Committee, and has the job of electing as' many GOP Senators as possible next No vember. Knowing this, Truman challenged: "I'll lay my program out and you lay your program out," and we'll have a showdown." Brewster agreed. -Though they didn't actually put it that way, part of the showdown is coming right now. Truman is now putting his policies before " public, while Brewster has been busy lining up speakers to refute him. He has already lined up Taft for a speech in Chicago, Wherry in Ne braska, Hickenlooper in Iowa, Morse in Oregon, and Congressman Keefe in Wisconsin. Brewster says the battle, hatched over the dinner table at the Cariton Hotel, '.will continue until" November. Achesori's Big Problem Before Secretary, of State, "Acheson left for The; Big Three Conference, he had a report from the ''Orient indicating that French Indo-China was the: most vital area iri preventing the spread of Communism. . .. .The report came from Ed Dickinson, ace trouble-shooter "for ecadministrator Paul Hoff man. State Department officials concur with Dickinson's views. " They believe that if Communism once takes over Indo-China, then Burma, the Malays, Siam, India and Indonesia wjll also fall, making all of the Orient a' Russian sphere of influence. Furthermore,, it is believed that this is Mos cow's chief goal. For the Red Army today lacks oil, gasoline, tin-and rubber. All these things .are to be obtained in the wealthy area lying south of French Indo-China. Real Good Neighborliness While most 'of the world is worrying about the coming Berlin Red demonstrations, trouble in China and the danger "of a Yugoslav war, it looks like two'' countries in this hemisphere were on the way to working out an important new friendship. This developed during the White House visit between the President of the United States arid the President of Chile when Gonzalez 'Videla unfolded to Truman a proposal to give landlocked Bolivia a free port on the Pacific Ocean near Arica. To Latin Americans such a proposal is al most revolutionary. For the Chilean ports oi Tacna and Arica have been a bone of contention for years bet-ween Chile, Bolivia and Peru. H They have already been the subject of two wars and were arbitrated by Gen. John J. Pershing and Gen. William Lassiter, neither of whom was able to bring about a solution. All during these , years of controversy, Bo livia has argued that she' should be given one of these 'Chilean cities as a free port. And be cause she was not able to get access to the sea, Bolivia instigated the famed Chaco War with Paraguay in the 1920's. What President Gonzalez yidela has now discussed with President Truman is to give Bolivia an area on the Pacific coast near Arica where she would build her own port. Bolivia would have complete sovereignty, with no re strictions by Chile. In turn, the Chilean President hopes that Bolivia would give Chile irrigation water .from Lake Titticacca, with which to irrigate the north Chilean desert of Atacama. Today north ern Chile is much like southern California, but with water it could become as populated as California. " .-President Truman gave his enthusiastic blessing and promised President-Gonzalez Videla any help that he could give. Speech Backfired A Minnesota farmer may lose out in becom ing Undersecretary "of Agriculture, because he tried too hard to drum up an audience for his boss. The eager beaver is Charles W. Stickney, Minnesota committee chairman for the Produc tion and Marketing Administration. Stickney wanted to be sure Secretary of Ag riculture Charlie Brannan had a full house when he came to St. Paul on April 4,- so he passed the word that 8,000 Minnesota farmer eommittee ' meji could collect $8 a day expenses for listening. Word of this, however, leaked back to enemy No. 1 of the Brannan Plan, Sen. George Aiken, the Vermont Republican. Aiken promptly raised such a howl that the General Accounting Office is now investigating to see if an improper use of government funds is involved. i However, here is another aftermath. Until recently, Stickney was all set to succeed Al Loveland as Undersecretary of Agriculture Now he isn't. Note When Secretary Brannan found that the St. Paul audience was getting $8 a day each for expenses, he changed his speech to a non political farm discourse. Coal Operators Union . Big coal operators are " quietly planning to form a virtual union of their own. Thereby giv ing Harry Moses, boss of the U. S. steel-owned H. C. Frick Coke Company, the same dictatorial powers over northern operators ' that John L. Lewis wields over the miners.

Jordan Berkeley, Califo April 27. 1950 Report From The President Greater University Qay Planned At a meeting held' in Greens- Carolina gamfe, the first of the horo last week, plans were made for the 1'950' Greater Uni- versity Day. Ah annual pre war event, Greater University Day was revived -last fall by the Greater University Student Council. -1 G. U. Day, a joint student administration effort of -: all three' branches' of the Greater. University, is intended to draw the students of all three units together in one gala celebra tion. As in the past, the State- Horseshoes Billy; r0S season, will be the occasion for the get together. Approximate ly one thousand students from Woman's College, will come down for the day, and further competition for the Chapel Hill males will be provided by two or three thousand State men here for the game. Opening with the game in Kenan Stadium at 2:30, the sec ond postwar G. U. Day will feature a formal ceremony dur ing the half-time, in which stu dents and administration of ficials of the three schools and : officials of the Greater Univer sity will participate. 'J Immedi ately following the game there" will be an informal reception, . at which men from . State and. Carolina will have a chance to chairman of the Council, which began operation in 1948. Chief among its objectives are the attainment of a greater spirit of loyalty to a unified Greater University. This is being achiev ed thru greater exchange of information about student ac tivities in each school, various joint enterprises such as Great-x er University Day, a student lobby for appropriations and reduction of tuition in the State Legislature, and numer ous ' smaller-scale activities which involve more frequent contacts between the students of State, Woman's College, and Carolina. The advent of President Gray promises to bring increased im--. portance and recognition to the G. U. Student Council, for Dear Bob Hope: According to the trade papers, you were not only paid $40,000 for your appearance on Frigid aire's Easter telecast, but you also have a contract to do four additional programs for the same kind of take-home money. Well, mare p6wer to you, sez I, but I'd like to ask one carp ing question: Do you honestly -feel that you a guy . with only one head are actually .worth $20,668.67- an hour? v. '. Now don't give me the. glove in the face, Roberto I'm not - saying you aren't good. But you and I know each other from way back and I thinjr.' you'll agree that neither ypu nor anyone else is $40,000 good even though this bumptious baby of an in dustry has momentarily lost its sense of proportion and . is of fering that kind of cabbage: Let's see if I can't blueprint it for you. To get out .of its swaddling clothes, vifieo must present . the , top performers of the- theatre and movies talent like yourself. j -: However, by insisting on so fat and fabulous a fee you're making., it impossible fcr . less reckless sponsors to buy the Al Jolsons, Danny Kayes and Bing Crosbys gents every bit as talented as -you are. These performers are a cinch to demand the same kind of money you know actors,-' and you know they'd lose fa?e i.. they showed theirs for less.- As I see it, the unexppndable dough Frigidaire is paying you has set a "precedent which can easily hold television back a couple of years, and since show business has been plenty, good to you why wouldntt it be a gocd idea to return the compli ment by making one heck of a gesture that is, to kick back" ' 35 grand of your first pay check and agree to appear on the, four shows coming up for five grand per each? Mr-nsy- -vise. Bob, it would t"ka darn little out of your pock .c:; publ !ci1.y-wisr it would cop pk-nty of headlines.- and audi-' ence-wise. it would help bring a lot of better entertainment into a lot of parlors. s Sincerely, Billy Rose choose a partner for: the dance.; it will be primarily thru the to be held in. Woollen Gym in the evening. . ; -While G.U. Day is the most publicized activity sponsored by the Greater University Council during the year, the work of . this .group continues thruout - the year. Jess Dedmond, for mer Student Boriv 'President, was the prime mover and first . Council that iie will maintain official contact with the stu dents of all three units of the Greater University. Student participation in the inaugural ' ceremonies is' expected, and it will be the Council which will represent the students in these ceremonies.

California Dear Sirs: Since June 1940, there have been gi doubts as to the constitutionality of your ployment policy, which may constitute an vasion of private political beliefs. We feel your ruling of April 21, 1950, has strengthe this invasion. The Non-Senate Academic Employees, r ivated by concern for University welfare and preservation of constitutional rights, wish seek a ruling on this issue. Where question: constitutionality are involved, it has been American tradition to submit a test case to courts for determination, so that the const tional issues may .be determined without hazard of beclouding the issue with irrelei legal matters. If such a test case can be sented ,the courts will be able to make a c decision on the legality of political tests teachers, before the rights of individuals further abridged and before further damage the greatness of our University occurs. Because an attempt by a single empl alone to receive a court ruling might be dec on. grounds, other than constitutional, we pose that test case be instituted immediat: Your last directive provides the basis filing a test case at once. Our attorney, Mr. ert W. Kenny, is prepared to ask for declara relief for NSAE members in the State Sup Courts. With your concent, w-e can immedic test the constitutionality of your actions regard to the provisions, among others, of ticle 9, Section 9, of the State Constitution, Amendments 1, $ and 14 of the Federal stitution.
