"By this method a student il legally supplies himself with the right answers, hurting not only himself, but his classmates, by artificially raising the average of I the students taking the examin jation," Stacy said. " In the same general vein, the Men's Council reminded students that it is a violation when a stu dent ' who is taking a make-up examination consults another stu dent to gain information about the same examination. Stacy said the Council discuss ed the problem of drinking on campus and in town and conclud ed that as long as a student con ducts himself in a gentlemanly manner, he is obviously not vi olating any student government regulations. However, if he be comes intoxicated and commits ungentlemanly acts or acts in the 'public nusiance, he -is subject to penalty by the Men's Council. Stacy reported that thus far this y ear the Men's Council has had no cases involving Honor or Campus Code violations. 4v - i BOB ELLINGTON, Univer sity Party candidate for the freshman class, yesterday was joined by another candidate who was nominated in fresh man assembly.

Russian Jets Attack Fleet OfUS.'29's TOKYO, Wednesday, Nov. 15 (UP; Russian built jet lighters pounced on an armada of 18 U.S Superlorts over Korea yesterday ana in. a wild battle crippled two of the big bombers so oadly they made emergency landings with wounded crewmen. The blazing battle over north west Korea near Manchuria stole j the show from the ground forces. j For the most part the troops j crouched in their ioxholes, i nuraoea Dy zero weatner. J.ne lew skirmishes and shifts were on a small scale. The U. S. Marines plodded two churia in northeast Korea. The South Koreans captured ruined Tokchon in the northwest, but coudn't' hold it. . One of the most violent aerial clashes of the Korean war was touched off when the Superfort fleet and its escort of Shooting Star jets plunged low into a tor rent of anti-aircraft fire to dump 240 tons of explosives on the bridges near the mouth of the Yalu River prime gateway of Chinese Communist intervention in Korea. Eight to. 10 of the 600-miles-an-hour MIG fighters zoomed across the river from Manchuria and tore into the B-29s. The U. S. Shooting Stars swarmed to the aid of the bombers they were shepherding. The battle raged for five minutes. When it was over, two Super forts limped to emergency land ings on Korean air fields. The pi lot of one was wounded. As it came dwn, it veered off the run way and crashed into four Marine fighters parked along the strip. The other damaged bomber land ed safely. - At least three B-29 crewmen were injured, the U. S. Fifth Air Force announced. It said no Mig 15's were believed downed, nor was any U. S. Shooting Star. Pilots of the unmarked silvery enemy jets attacked in groups of four. Two would attack from the front to draw the fire of the bombers, then two more would wheel in from the rear. 1 . t . . . .

Scott, who told his audience ne leit like a penguin but proved he was an accomplished pianist. Scott worked up a sweat on every number and milked the last laugh out of every joke dur ing his hour and a half perform ance. During intermission, he shed his soggy collar and put on a fresh one before he could continue. The keyboard comic was mak ing his third appearance on the stage of Memorial Hall in his concert last night. He appeared here in the summer of 1949 on the last program of the Interna tional Platform Association con vention and prior to that he per formed on the old student enter tainment series agenda in the spring of 1946. Scott's concert was the second presentation of the 1950-51 Stu dent Entertainment Committee series. The first was opera singer Rise Stevens earlier this fall. Unlike Miss Stevens, Scott didn't get a rising ovation from his audience, but he did bring" the crowd to its feet when he played "Dixie" as one of his encodes. Then he repeated the Southern anthem at a slower tempo while his listeners sang the words. The pianist used a pleasing mixture of classic and humorous music, plus, a handful of pan tomimes, to fill out his evening of entertainment. In a curtain speech after his final encore, Scott told the crowd that he didn't know "when I have enjoyed gi1 ing a concert so much." And Scott added that he would like to return to Chapel Hill. 1 he applause was his invitation. Vassar Students Desire Marriage POUGIIKEEPSIE, N. Y. Nov. 14 (IP) Ninety-five percent of the students at Vassar College, one of the top women's schools in the U. S., want to be married and have children before they are 30. A third of the student body hopes to get married within two years after graduation and 23 per cent of the seniors already are engaged. The figures were released by the college today after New York University spent a year studying Vassar as part of a research pro ject in student-college relations. Although marriage and child- dren were the ultimate objects of the women students, almost (See MARRIAGE, page 3) Dr. Goes Presents Views U.S. Students Are Li ke Brazilians, Visiting S.

CIT Professor Tells Senate He's 'No Red' LOS ANGELES, Nov. 14 (P) Dr. Linus Pauling, California In stitute of Technology professor, refused today to tell a State sen ate committee ofi education whe ther he is a member of the Com munist party. Dr. Pauling, chairman of be Caltech Division of Cl.emi: fry and Engineering, told reporters, however, that he is not a Com munist party member. Before the committee, he testi fied: "The beliefs I have about the proper workings of a democracy require that 1 refuse to answer any questions as to my . political beliefs." Earlier, to reporters, he said: "I most certainly am not a member of the Communist Party, but I am not sure that my feelings about American freedoms of the (See PROF., page 3) schools - in the -two countries, he says, there is little difference in the attitudes and objectives of the students. ' "Brazilian schools do not have the tradition of American Univer sities," he said, "but they are an xious to follow the pattern of American education." At the present time universities in Brazil do not have campuses, he said; but, he added, plans are being made to appropriate .land for them in three states. "Land for the University of Brazil already has been purchased, and construction of trie new school should begin soon," Dr. Goes pointed out. - colleges and will be presented by Dean - William Wells of Arts and Sciences. If passed, the proposal would provide: That each undergraduate stuueut entering the University in or alter September, 1951, be re quired to have at least a G aver age in ail courses counting to wards his degree beiore he can transfer to the school from which he will get his degree. It would provide also that each student now in resiaence planning to transfer trom the General Col lege alter the end of the 1951 summer session be required to have a minimum average of .75, computed on the University's sys tem of quality points, betore he can transfer into the school or college of his choice. These regulation are not, how ever, entirely new. There is a statement in the General Cata logue to the effect that transfer from the General College to the College of Arts and Sciences and School of Commerce is based on 'satisfactory completion" of the first two years of work. This is interpreted to mean a C average or better. However, this rule has never been strictly enforced. As a con sequence, many students find thperi selves' , in '-their senior year without the C. average necessary to graduate and must spend extra quarters in school making up for low General College marks. The new provision would re move this situation in requiring that all students have a C average before leaving General College. The faculty will meet at 4 p.m. Friday in Howell Hall. Should final action be taken on the motion at that time, the new (See GRADES, page 3) City Planners Needed, Says Agency Head Carl Feiss, head of the Com munity Planning and Redevelop ment Branch of the Housing and Home Finance Agency in Wash ington, gave a talk here last weekend to members of the University's Department of City ! and Regional Planning. In deploring the shortage of trained city planners, Feiss de clared "if we are going to begin to fill the available jobs in city planning and those to open up in the near future, we will need three times as many graduates j of schools of planning as are be- ing turned out in this country today." As a visiting professor, he said, most of his association has been with faculty members, "but I am greatly impressed by the earnest ness and initiative of American students. At every college I have visited the libraries were always filled with students doing re search work." Dr. Goes, who has been in the United States briefly only twice previous to this viist, says that it was probably his personal interest in the United States that was the influencing factor in his being selected to represent his country on this tour.
