Those who watch the eclipse from here will see our moon steadily obscure the sun until it is 31 per cent covered, accord ing to Dr. Douglas Duke, profes sor of astronomy and acting di rector of the Morehead Planeta rium. The actual percentage of trie sun covered will vary from about 29 per cent in the northernmost part of the state to 34 per cent in the extreme southeastern part, he says. ; The eclipse will begin at 4:5d p m , eastern time when the moon begins to- cross in front of the sun the first bite appearing in & jAr Counc'i BeamanAppeal Is Refused By Highest Court Council Also Says No Co-Candidacies Lawful On Campus By Don Maynard After a lengthy, two hour and 10 minute session, the Student Council voted unanimously last night to support the recent con troversial Elections Law change in campus office candidate quali fications. And in a surprise move, the Council decided five to three that "only one person may be nominated for a campus office," disallowing political party co nominations. The Council sat in special ses sion to hear the appeal of Uni versity Party head cheerleader candidate Allman Beaman who was disqualified fo academic reasons under the newly passed Elections Law amendment bill. But the startling move came when Julian Mason, Elections Board" 1 chairman, " requested the Council for an interpretation of the Constitutional section relat ing to the constitutionality of co nominations fo rcampus offices. The Council decided that only one person may run for any cam pus office, explaining that the Constitution mentions only "a," "an," or "the" in reference to candidates for offices. Co-nom-inatipns are unconstitutional, Bct to said. Beaman had asked the campus supreme court to determine the constitutionality of the law which requires all candidates to main tain a C average for three quar ters prior to running for office. Council Chairman Larry Botto said no ex post facto ruling exists "in fact" in the Student Consti tution. He said the only mention made was a reference to the North Carolina Constitution which states there shall be no ex post facto law passed punishing or taxing for a crime committed before existence of a law. In his formal statement, Botto said: "The provisions of this bill are not in opposition with the provisions of the State and Fed eral Constitutions, and therefore the Student Constitution, in that these provisions constitute quali fications rather than punishments or taxes for acts previously com mitted." the lower left hand part of the sun's disk. Maximum covering of the sun will not occur until 5:45 p.m., at which time the left third of the sun will be obscured. After this moment the moon will gradually pass out from in front of the sun, however, the sun will set at 6:15 p.m., before the eclipse is completely over. "Those interested in watching th'is fascinating natural phenome non should either obtain a very dark photographic negative or smoke a piece of glass over a match or candle through which to observe the sun," Dr. Duke says. "This is necessary because of the overwhelming brightness of our daytime star which makes it impossible to look directly at it without some method of reduc- Rules Several Dorms Will Operate On Two Men Per Room Basis Steele, Old East, BVP, Old West, 'B' Are Included In Group To Be Reverted Several dormitories will oper ate on a two man per room basis this summer and next fall, Hous ing Director James E. Wadsworth announced yesterday. Chest Drive To End; Gifts Total $2,387 With the annual Campus Chest drive due to wind up today, Treasurer Charlie Fox announced last night that a total of $2,387 had so far been contributed by some 1,342 students. This .accounts for an average of approximately $1.77 per stu dent. No faculty donations have yet been totaled. The present total is not as high as that hoped for by Chest of ficials. However, there are still some 20 or 30 solicitors, some of them repi-esenting whole dormir tories, who have yet to be heard from. Fox asked that these workers be prompt in turning in reports to him at Chest headquarters in Playmakers' Show To Open Thursday "Lo, .the Angel," an original three-act drama by Nancy Wal lace Henderson, will have its premier at the Playmakers Theatre Thursday and Friday nights at 7:30. It is a student production, under the direction of Tom Patterson, who poined the Playmaker staff Jast fall, and there will be no ad mission charge. The play is a study of a South ern Negro family, and the prob lem of an aged grandmother's fanatic religious faith. Such a faith, Mrs. Henderson says, may lead to both happiness and trag edy. The play also contains a good sampling of the rich folk humor Be Visible Tomorrow ing its intensity" The central line of the eclipse passes over New Zealand, the southern and equatorial regions of the Pacific Ocean, Central America and the Caribbean Sea. For this reason the farther south in this country one is located the greater the part of the sun that will appear covered. In the Great Lakes region the moon will barely touch the sun at all, while in southern Florida about two-thirds of the sun will be hidden. However, even those right on the central line of the eclipse will not see the entire sun covered, Dr. Duke , explains, because at this time the moon is farther away than usual caus ing a reduction in its apparent size.

He said that it was extremely im portant that these reports be filed by tonight so that a sum total of all contributions could be com puted. The Campus Chest booth in the lobby of the Y will be open all day today to accept contributions from students who have not been sontacted by solicitors. Students wishing to give to the Chest may also mail donations in care of box 1058, Chapel Hill. Last year the campaign netted upwards of $4,300.

The cast of 13 will be headlined by Anife Leslie of Jamaica, N. Y., as Liza Bcthune, a Negro mother who must make the decision be tween searching for her wayward daughter or relying on the passive faith of her own aged mother. Miss Leslie has appeared earlier this season in "The Madwoman of Chaillot" and "A Spell for Dav ey." Her work has professional polish .acquired by engagements with , the Taconic Playhouse in New York, the Martha's Vineyard Playhouse in Massachusetts and the Gallery-Goers, a company touring out of New York. Frances Thompson of Wilming ton will play the grandmother, a difficult . character role. She is presently employed as a secretary in the Law Department, and has worked in the Playmaker produc tions of "Twelfth Night" and "Medea." The role of Reverend Grimes will be handled by Tommy Rez zuto of Asheville, a junior major ing in dramatic art.

Wadsworth also announced that social rooms will be cleared and ready for furnishing because of the large number of vacancies now existing. One social room is operating at present in B Dorm. He pointed out, however, that there will be no great decrease in the number of dorm residents next quarter. "According to applications re ceived, we will have just about 100 less than this quarter. This is not a large figure in view of the present draft program," he said. "We are hoping that the new H dorm will be completed by January and ready for use soon after, so there will be even more room for students," he said. The married and veteran hous ing remains about the same with Victory Village and other housing units almost full. oure Thing College Joke Victim Gohe Compiled from Daily Tar Heel Wires NACHITOCHES, La., March 5 Boatmen dragged the Red River today in fear that something ser ious had happened to a college freshman who disappeared after his classmates made him the butt of an ancient but common "hot date" college prank. Eighteen-year-old Allen Kap lan of Chelsea, Mass., was last seen Thursday night as he fled in panic into the woods believ ing an "outraged husband" was after him with a shotgun. Actually, the "outraged hus band" was an upperclassmtn at Northwestern State College, who stopped a carload of students on a popular lovers' lane and fired a gun into the air to frighten young Kaplan. Others in the car, who told the freshman they had arranged a "sure thing" for him, were in on the gag and also ran for cover to make it seem more realistic. They returned to the auto to laugh about the joke, but began to get worried when Kaplan didn't show up. It was fearea vie might have stumbled into the river while running through the dark woods.

Artillery Routs Ko-Reds In Stronghold French Elements Aid In Breaking Communist Line Compiled from Daily Tar Heel Wires TOKYO, Tuesday, March 6 Screaming artillery supported U. S. infantry today in the rout of an estimated 6,000 North Ko reans from a mountain strong hold in central Korea. The U. S. 7th Division and the U. S. 2nd Division combined with French elements to hit Commu nist strongholds from three sides. Under the pressure of the combined attack the Reds were forced to flee to a hastily built new line of resistance to the north. "I'm going to destroy those damn Reds if they don't check out farther over those hills," Col. William "Buffalo Bill' Quinn, commander of the attack forces said. - - In an attempt to establish an effective counter-assault, the Reds fought sharply from well dug-in positions for a short time before ' the Allies broke their lines. The Reds were remnants of the North Korean 3rd Corps. Quinn, who only two days ago led an attack which was be lieved to have put the North Korean 15th Division out of ac tion, said: t "We've got the 15th, and now the First is No. 1 on our hit par ade."

He was the third person to enter the race. Reporter Walt Dear won the Student Party nomination last night, and the University Party nominated Frank Allston, Jr., some time ago. , Maynard said he was run ning "because the amount of interest in my candidacy leads me to believe that ihe Student Party made its decision for reasons of political expediency, and not on the basis of an honest appraisal of the candi dates." - on a single ballot after one hour and 35 minutes of discussion of the three candidates. The vote was Dear 19, Maynard 8, Allston 5. A fourth candidate nominated for the post at the Student Party meeting last week waited until last night to withdraw his name from consideration.
