" More than 2,000 UNC stu dents swelled the hall, taking every bit of sitting and standing room that was avail able. They sat on the windows, stood in the aisles and yet there remained throngs out side that were not able to squeeze into the overflowing building. . Miss Stevens .made an im mediate impression on the large audience even before she had begun her first number. Her gracious and overwhelm ing beauty was magnificient- ly and desirably breathtaking. Miss Stevens' opening num ber, "Where'er You Walk," from "Semele," exploited to the fullest her unusual ability as a concert artist. m Probably the most enthusi astically received was the sec ond group on the program, a group of Negro spirituals. This group, expertly performed by (See CONCERT, page 4) Finale Comes For Absentee After Curtain GREENSBORO, Oct. 26 OP) The young man played his role excellently, a role in which he portrayed a policeman and in a uniform borrowed from the Greensboro Police Department. He took the role in "Arsenic and Old Lace," a production given by the Playlikers of the Woman's College of the Univer sity here. There were three acts to the play, but the fourth and unscheduled act which took place behind the scenes as the audience filed from the auditorium, was the most in tej esting. The name the actor gave was Richard Devern and he had agreed to play one of the male roles in the production given by the girls at the college. When he walked off the stage, however, a couple of military policemen from Fort Bragg, who had been waiting in the wings, took him in custody as James Palmer Mattox of Jack sonville, Fla. They said he had been AWOL from the 82hd Air borne Division at Fort Bragg since July 26. n Ml U Li is Sieber Report Gives 3 Points Of Local Plan Bill Introduced To Probe Action; Appointees Pass By Rolfe Neill Herman Sieber, former chairman of the National Stu dent Association- Committee, last night announced to the Student Legislature the re cently adopted three-part program for better relations with the Chapel Hill mer chants. Sieber, who has been ap pointed director of the newly created Student Business Bu reau, reported on progress . made since the idea was advanced last spring. He noted early in his talk that "I am not represent ing any political faction in the current NSA discussions, nor am I representing in any way the NSA Committee of which I once was chairman." Included in the student-merchant policy program, Sieber ex plained, is full membership in the Chapel Hill-Carrboro Merchants' Association, Chamber of Com merce, and Credit Bureau. This action on the part of Student Government and the merchants at Carolina is the first of its kind in the United States, he said. A Student Complaint Board has been created, Sieber reported, to channel all complaints from students relative to prices and service in Chapel Hill. Bill Prince, Orientation Committee chairman, has been appointed by John San ders, president of the studc-nt body, to head this group. A second committee, the Stu dent Business Bureau, was estab lished by Sanders to act as a liaison group betveen the mer chants and the students. The Bu reau will coordinate with the merchants, quarterly seasonal clearance sales in order to have effective community-booster dis count weeks. Questioning the constitutional ity of the president's action during the summer, Paul Roth, Univers ity Party floor leader, later intro duced a bill to investigate the work done under Sieber. Roth's bill calls for a comDlete investi gational report to the Legislature one week after its enactment. After the meeting, Sanders said regarding the student-merchant plan: " ... As finally worked out, the plan provides a firm basis for continuing student-merchant cooperation for the betterment of the whole community. One of the best features of the plan is that it is not static, but is capable of great extension and expansion to the benefit of both groups." Sanders appointed Jim Lamm. Bill Prince, Herb Mitchell, and Kash Davis to serve with Sieber and himself on the Student Busi ness Bureau. t Ann Townsend, Ken Barton, Ham Horton, and Jim McLeod will serve on the Student Com plaint Board. Prince will be chair man. One merchant also will be a member. Meeting 30 minucc-s early in order to get out in time to at- ten dpart of Rise Stevens' Me- (See NSA, page 4) TV Topics LINCOLN. Neb.
