There was no sign of life. It was pretty grim out there . . . "I was in the house with my husband and two children. The first we heard was a roar, like it was trying to gain altitude. Then it started down. It flew right over our house and trashed just beyond. "We didn't see it before the crash because it came so fast, we didn't know which way to look It was snowing and blowing fair ly hard."

" How can a person do 11 this Andy Bershak Sch olarship Will Continue IFC Assessment ; Raised To $1.50 For Each Member By Don Maynard Despite " recent losses within fraternity ranks, the Interfratern ity Council Monday night decided overwhelmingly to continue its annual Andy Bershak scholarship award and at the same time upped the assessment to $1.50 per mem ber. But the winner of the 1951 scholarship will not receive the full $500 a year scholarship, ac cording to IFC President Dale Morrison. " Computed on the basis; of approximately 1,000 fraternity; men, the fund this year will build up to only $1,500. He said the winner of this year's award would "probably" receive $400 yearly for the four-year col lege course. Normally the fund reaches $2,000 and the winner of the scholarship is granted a four year award of $500 a year. Opposition to continuance of the scholarship was introduced by one chapter representative in the form of a motion to suspend the annual award "for the duration or until such time as fraternities think it possible to continue the scholarship." But the motion was withdrawn when it became apparent that most of the 14 fraternities repre sented at the meeting were in fa vor of continuing the award. On the heels of the withdrawal came, the motion to increase the J per member assessment 25 cents, from $1.25 to $1.50. The motion carried, 13-1. Started in 1948 with the first grant of $500 yearly for four years, the annual scholarship is given to one entering freshman a year on the basis of "his need and his scholastic background." A board composed of faculty members and an IFC representa tive decides who is most deserv ing each year. Last year, with the per mem ber assessment set at $1.25, the fund ran short of the $2,000 goal by $300. The difference was made up from the IFC surplus. This year, however, according to Morrison, the surplus is ex hausted, and only whatever money comes in from the indi vidual members on this increased assessment will be used. Under normal circumstances, the' $2,000 collected goes into a trust fund maintained by Ed Lanier's student aid department. The student is given $500 annu ally, and the balance invested each year. Interest from the in vestment v is used to carry the cost of the scholarship publicity and other connected expenses. To date, three students are. at tending the University through the grace of the scholarship.

"Its just gratifying to work with stu dents and musical organizations," says Slocum. Slocum came to Carolina in 1933 and developed a band that orig inally was a 60-instrument or ganization. The band used Army formations and possibly .made one school letter formation per per formance. Now it is a highly specialized outfit of 120 instru ments that has dozens of different formations including such famous ones as "The Circus," "Night be fore Christmas," and "The Four Seasons."

S. 8TH ARMY, KOREA, Jan. 16 (UP) The Chinese in Korea seem to be riding off in all directions these days. Now they are in full retreat northward below Seoul. Now they are moving the 40th Army down through the Seoul area to the south. Now they are shifting huge forces eastward for an end run on the central front. A north ward movement from Wonju was even reported, just as the Allies were pulling out of the bulge to avoid entrapment. Which way are the 300.000 Chinese in Korea marching? Staff officers of the U. S. 8th Army would like to know. On the an swer to that question depends the answer to another where do the Allies intend to make a stand in Korea? Competent authorities here re gard these as the outstanding pos sibilities: -?. The" estimated 200,000 Chin ese north of and around Seoul do not want to cross the Han River in force, or have been unable to do so. 2. The Chinese may want to suck the Allies northward, as they did in the Chongchon Valley of northwest Korea and around the Chosin Reservoir. 3. The Chinese may strike in both west and central Korea, bringing . additional reinforce ments to the North Koreans in the Sobaeks from Gen. Chen Yi's 3rd Field Army. 4. The Chinese may want to relieve pressure on the Allied troops so as not to drive them out altogether, but leave a major U. S. force committed here.

His work with the symphony has been similar. The 60-piece symphony, which is composed of students, towns people, and faculty, has become prominent in musical circles for its outstanding concerts and ac companiment work. Slocum first became interested in music when he learned to play the flute. From then on, he not only became an accomplished flutist, but also a master of sev eral other instruments. His wife is a musician too, an organist ac companying singers and choirs. In spite of his many musical ac tivities, the music professor finds time to fish, hunt, and play golf.

His biggest fish was an eight pound bass caught in eastern Carolina with a five ounce fly rod. "One of my best fishing exper iences . was one when I had to wade in a lake trying to get trop ical fish amongst alligators," he commented. At the time he was invited to fish in a private lake where many of the log-like rep tiles infested the area. - Although Slocum lived in Michigan during his early years and went to school there, he has been in North Carolina since 1926.

S. 8th Army recaptured the ancient Korean fortress town of Su won Tuesday and threw the Chinese Reds into full retreat back to defense positions 10 miles south of Seoul. A limited offensive by United Nations armored forces below Seoul rolled almost unop posed through Suwon at the highwater mark of a 16-mile ad vance in two days. At twilight the Allied tanks and infantry fell back outside Suwon, 18 miles south of Seoul, and camped along an arc hugging the deserted town.
