VOLUME LIX Associated Press CHAPEL HILL, N. C. WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1950 United "Press NUMBER 41 11 1 M i J $ 1 f I i i i 1 New ID C E Visiting In Special Hours Outlined For Weekends By Wall M. Dear II ' The Men's Interdormitory Council passed a precedent setting measure Monday night calling for visiting hours in the dorms for the Maryland and Duke weekends, on an experimental basis. The action was taken after Chancellor R. B. House and a Student Welfare Committee, headed by Fred H. Weaver, Dean of Students, had ap proved recommendations for vis iting hour program. "At the' request of the IDC, we have approved the program for opening dormitories to parents and friends accompanying parents for the weekends of Nov. 11 and 25," an administration spokesman said. "We are willing to try the program as an experiment, hoping that it meets the approval and gains the support of all quart ers," he continued. Providing for open houses in all men's dormitories, the report specifically names the visiting hours on Saturdays as immedi ately after the football games until 6 p. m., and on Sundays from 2 p. m. until 5 p. m. The report further emphasizes that "parents along with other mem bers of the family and friends who are accompanied by the parents will be permitted to visit the rooms." The report recommended that John . Sanders, Vice-President if the visiting hour program is Herb Mitchell, Speaker of the successful, visiting hours may be j Coed Senate Kash Davis, Attor ext ended to all weekends. Ashbylney General Dick Murphy, Tar pointed out that the reports of dorm advisors concerning the experiment would determine the future policy of the plan. The program, which will go into effect immediately, is the first one that the University has had, according to Ray Jeffries, assistant to the Dean of Students. Before the committee's report was passed, the Council debated on the proposals for an hour. Ed Williams, adviser to B Dorm, proposed "an amendment to have the visiting hour program "sub ject to the approval of the indi vidual dorms." However, this amendment failed to pass. Sup porters of the committee's report said that such an amendment would make the whole plan ineffective. Another proposal by Doe Berry, president of Graham Dormitory, to have pregame visiting hours, was voted down. Berry proposed the amendment for the benefit of football players who would be , unable to see relatives after tne game. Brooks Paften Called By AF Rev.

C. Lewis, Director of the New York Psychiatric Institute and Hospital, said in the first of the annual series of three McNair Lectures. "There are differences of opinion, however, as to whether Special Body Will Discuss Campus Ills The Student Welfare Board, which has not functioned offic ially here since before the war, has been reformed and met for the first time last week.

Tcke 'Cautious Approach' U.S. Delegate With Council On Korea ' LAKE SUCCESS, Nov. 7 (A1) Ambassador Ernest A. ', Gross, No. 2 U. S, delegate on the Secur ity Council, conferred today with the U.N. Korean Committee as diplomats sought accurate infor mation on the Chinese Communist forces and intentions in Korea. The general feeling of most dip lomats at the U.N. was that the U.N. should take a cautious ap proach to what appears to be one of its worst problems. The Se curity Council will meet tomor row at 10:30 a. m. on the situation. Informed sources . said the United States, Britain, and France to be among the rPonsors of a resolution being vthis increase is relative to the increase in population," he said. "It would be difficult to ascer tain the actual facts, but the sit uation is one that calls for more treatment by psychiatrists and more, research, intelligence, and long-term thinking," Dr. Lewis continued. The noted specialist will speak again tonight at 8:30 in Hill Hall. His topic will be part of the gen eral theme, "Psychiatry and Re ligion." The concluding lecture will be tomorrow night at the same time and place. The McNair lectures, a series established by the late John Cal vin McNair, class of 1849, are to "show the mutual bearing of science and theology upon each other and to prove the existence and attributes, as far as may be, of God and nature." Dean William Wells of the Col lege of Arts and Sciences presided and introduced Dr. Lewis. Citing the increase in mental ailments, Dr. Lewis said that "be fore World War II there were 700,000 patients in mental hospi tals in the United States, and about 19 or 20 outside for each one in the hospital. At induction board examinations, about 37 per cent of the total number rejected were disqualified for nervous and mental reasons. This per cent was of all candidates examined. This offers some indication of the share of sufferers in this special field," hj declared.

(Premier Josef V. Stalin was not mentioned in the dispatches). "The Anglo-American imper- Con drafted for the Security Council on the Chinese Communist threat in Korea. There was no firm in dication the resolution would be tossed before the Council tomor row but it was expected' that the document certainly would come in before the discussion goes too far. One key point was reported to be a reaffirmation of the Security Council decisions on Korea, par ticularly the resolution of June 27 calling on all U.N. members to help resist Communist North Korean aggression and to re frain from giving aid to the Communists fers Jurisprudence Visiting Profs Are Announced Drs.

Opt Front By One Half Inch Second Chapter Battle Here Suit HOLLYWOOD, Nov. 7 (UP) . An international battle of the bos oms "busted" here today as actress Marie Wilson charged that British Beautjr Queen Irene Whitworth had nothing to be chesty about. Miss Wilson contended that she puts up a better front by one half inch than the 24-year-old. British girl- who moaned in London that her livelihood was threatened be cause she could not win beauty contests for lack- of a big enough bathing suit. She said austere England produces none ample enough for her generous propor tions. , But out of the bigness of her heart, Miss Wilson offered a suit large enough not only for Irene's measurements but with room to grow. Ground Troops Move Forward In Korean War Leaders Puzzled By Enemy Attacks Which Don't Come SEOUL, Wednesday, Nov. 9 W) U. S. planes battled new type Russian-built jets at the Man churian border Tuesday and ground troops advanced slightly on two major fronts after Chinese and North Korean resistance eased abruptly. U. S. Commanders were puzzled by failure of the Reds to press a drive which General MacArthur told the United Nations Council was made possible only by entry of Chinese Communists into the action. There was nothing to indicate the Reds were withdrawing. In fact, Chinese Communistst were reported reinforcing in northeast Korea. They were supported for the first time by heavier type Chinese Red artillery. U. S. and British troops on the crucial northwest front advanced more than two miles. U. S. Fifth Air Force fighter planes fought for an hour and 25 minutes Tuesday over the north west Korean border city of Sin uiju with enemy jets which flew across from Manchuria. Three of the speedier Russian butt MIG-15 jets were reported hit but may have returned safely to Manchurian bases. A Fifth Air Force spokesman said none of the slower, propeller-driven F-51 Mustangs was damaged. At least 10 more MlG-15's were seen aloft over An lung, Manchur ian city across the Yalu River from Sinuiju. The Mustangs care fully observed orders not to vio late the border. Mustang pilots said they saw six of the jets take off from Antung's air field. In limited ground actions, U. S. infantrymen and troops of the British Commonwealth 27th Bri gade, advanced two and" one fourth miles near Pakchon. This was a line-straightening near the west end of the new U. N. defense line along the Chong chon River about 50 miles north of the fallen Red capital of Pyong yang. Vesper Rites Here Tonight A Candle-Lighting Service, the first in a weekly Campus Vespers series to be sponsored by the YWCA, will be held tonight in Gerrard Hall, at 10:10.

Each week the vespers service will be centered around talks by well-known students on campus, with the Christian application of college problems being featured. Room .

"My own bust measures 30 inches," she said modestly, "and I know there are others in Holly- wood who stretch the tape even farther." The English Miss registered her bust officially at 33 V2, claiming that was a half inch larger than Jane Russell's dimensions. "So you can see," Miss Wilson With F i r st G r a y A d d r es s For UNC Students Given I o Support Of University, Administration 1 Offered Students In 'Search For Truth' By Don Maynard Before a near-capacity audience of freshmen in Memorial Hall yesterday morning, President of the Consolidated Uni versity Gordon Gray rededicated himself to the cause of education and promised "the support of the University admin istration in all reasonable efforts to enjoy the friuts of your labor as students. "You shall have the encouragement, of the institution in : making full use of all the oppor SP Members Hurl Charges Over Voting By John Noble Student Party nominations for freshman class oficers were tossed into a furore Monday night when it was intimated that the meeting had been packed in favor of one of the vice-presidential candi dates. The dispute arose when a mem ber questioned the presence of an unusually large number of fresh men for the run-off election be tween, Ken Myers and Gene Cook to represent the party as vice presidential candidate in the fall elections. It had been agreed when nom inations started last week that both members and freshmen at tending would be permitted to vote for the candidates, since their presence indicated -an in terest in the nominations. When the nominations bogged down last week because of the tie between Cook and Myers, it was assumed that the same ruling would hold. Dick Murphy, student attorney general, suggested that one of three solutions be applied to coun ter rumors that the "meeting has been packed by the candidates." His recommendations were: (1) There be a convention with in the freshman class to nom inate its officers; (2) There be a convention within the party as a whole, or (3) That it revert to the ruling that only members and freshmen present last week be permitted to vole. Murphy said "some method should be adopted to keep the ejection of freshman class officers within the freshman class." He said that there is little interest in these offices by the upper class men and that it is unfair for them to take-part in the elections. Put to a vote of members of the ; party it was decided to return to the previous ruling that only members and those freshmen at tending the- meeting last week should be allowed to vote. Myers was elected by a vole of 16-9. Sue Arnbler won the position as candidate to represent the party as class secretary. She beat out (See FROSH, page 4) Of Busts: 10 Grow said, "that with, my suit there'll be .plenty -of-room." Miss Russell, in private life a leader of Hollywood religious ac tivities, was unavailable for com ment. After attending church services, she went to see her hus band, professional football star Bob Water field, in action with the Los Angeles Rams. "I don't know where this girl got the idea she's more developed than Jane," a studio spokesman said. "Miss Russell's bust mea sures 39 Vz, not 33. "But I'm sure she wouldn't comment. The matter seems to be a rock-bottom in vulgarity." Also unavailable for comment was Evelyn West, strip-teaser who insured her 39 2 inch bosom for $50,000. Freshme n tunities offered you," he told those attending the freshman as sembly. "We will attempt to guarantee the search for truth and the protections which an open mind should enjoy," Gray pro mised. The appearance marked Gray's first formal talk to any group of students representing the Univer sity at Chapel Hill. iWth the ex ception of several excerpts from his inauguration speech given in Raleigh last month, and Gray's rereading of one of the three oaths he took in the ceremonies, his 40 minute talk yesterday was an off-the-cuff, get-acquainted chat which was enthusiastically re ceived by the students. Gray reminded the students that the "effectiveness of student government must be finally mea sured by student conduct, the ex tent of student responsibility and the excellence of student charac ter," and stated that they will be the standards by which the quali ty of student life will be judged. He said the administration re cognizes that the capacity for self -discipline is essential to the edu cated man or woman and listed six qualities necessary in a stu dent to insure "good student citi zenship." Open-mindedness is an indis pensible quality, he declared, and added that loyalty, integrity de pendability, honesty and self-restraint are all necessary traits. He said the six could be summed up with one word: "character." Students should not only have a loyalty to themselves, to their parents, relations and the Univer sity, but also to "the principles you think should be defended by you. "I want you to remember that wherever you are, you are the ambassadors of the University, whether you are an alumnus or a student," he charged. "You will be remembered as a student at the University. Your obligations do not cease when you leave here." Gray good -humored ly referred to himself as a newer freshman to the University than those who entered last September. "I only 1 came here olficially m October, he pointed out. Introduced by Chancellor House as "our leading freshman of this year," Gray replied, "I am glad to come home again, and this is home to me. "Life begins at 40, people say," Gray reflected. "I am happy the trustees waited until I came to life before they elected me to this office," the 41 -year old former Secretary of the Army jokingly said. Gray advised the freshmen not to believe what was told them without first searching for evi dence and thinking the problem out.
