Ci THURSDAY, MARCH 29, 1951 Associated Press NUMBER 112 tl Glenn Harden Sets Platform For Editorship Assures Efforts To Keep Tradition Of Daily Editions Glenn Harden, independent candidate for editor of The Daily Tar Heel, yesterday released a four-plank platform on which she is basing her spring election cam paign. The independent candidate has served on the paper for two years, working in the editorial and news departments. The platform reads: "1. I pledge my efforts, if the students permit me to serve as their editor, to continue the tra dition of a daily newspaper on this campus, for I believe that only through the medium of the daily can adequate news cover age be given to this campus. I be lieve the students want their pa per every morning, if necessary at the expense of page size, one or more wire services, or the less popular features. "2. I believe the functions of a newspaper to be three-fold: to inform, to entertain, and to in struct, in that order; and as edi tor, I would labor, to secure com prehensive news coverage, quali fy feature material and colum nists, and intelligent meaningful editorials. "3. I believe that students who do not receive The Daily Tar Heel have been let down by the news paper they pay for and support, and that papers which never reach the hands of students and papers which arrive in ah ' un readable condition are an inex cusable waste. I therefore pledge my efforts to systemized circula tion procedures to adequate campus coverage. "4. I know that a paper filled with wire syndicated copy rah not give adcqxiate coverage of campus events, and that however desirable some such material may be, it should not be allowed to crowd out campus news. The Daily Tar Heel, us the only "daily" paper received regularly by most students, must direct its primary efforts to students and their activities. "But a staff of six or eight per sons can not give adequate cov erage. There is great talent on this campus, and yet of about 100 people appearing for the first staff meeting last fall, only two new reporters received enough encouragement to remain with the paper. The time spent in train ing and encouraging new person nel would avoid an undermanned and overworked staff." WORLD, nation; STATE WASHINGTON Sen: Charles W.

At least not for sure. The piano's most unconvention al master has announced that he will play some Bach and Beetho ven, some Gershwin and Lecuona, some Brahms and perhaps some 'Shostakovitch. In any formal con cert the Bach would come first, then the Shostakovitch with the Gershwin closing the program. But that's not the system in a Levant "Program of Piano Mu sic with Comments." . . - Tonight BETTY RAY and Sylvia Newsom are the can didates for secretary.

The study group turned in its lengthy report to the full Joint Appropriations Committee. It is expected this committee will pass it by the end of the week with few if any changes. Then it goes to the full Assembly. While no direct appropriation was recommended for the two permanent improvements for the University, the subcommittee sug gested juggling funds appropri ated by the State Hospital Board of Control so that $750,000 could be set aside for building and equipping of the two units. In addition, Federal funds are expected to be available to make up the $460,000 needed to com plete the tuberculosis addition. Also, the sub group recommended that $500,000 of Hill Burton Hos pital funds be allocated to sup plement state funds to help build the TB structure. The University will get a boost of $165,752 for salary increases and maintenance costs if the recommendations are accepted. He likes to organize the pro gram as he thinks appropriate for the audience and its mood. It is this role of pianist raconteur that has made 'Oscar Levant one of the most popular personalities in present day music. Levant is the only artist in modern concert who takes such liberties with the formalities cf the concert hall. However, no one has yet been known to protest for he is a supreme musician as well as an lmstible story teller. The listener may be "sure of hearing great music superbly performed with a little gaiety on the side. This form of entertainment is Levant's annual flight from the make believe world of Hollywood Marine Corps Set To Initiate OCS Program Seniors, Grads Without Service May Join Group ' The Marine Corps has announc ed plans for its first Officer Can didate Course since World War II, according to Lieut.

Julian Mason, Chairman of the Elections Board, said he will in troduce the bill changing the date from Thursday to Wednesday r two weeks from yesterday. Mason yesterday explained this is necessary because of the in ability to attain Gerrard Hall as a polling place on Thursday.

Here the show is his own. He is the lone performer. Followers of "Who Said That," "Information Please" and other adultradio and TV programs have become familiar with Levant's nimble wit. Movie goers have ob served his multiple talents in such films as "Rhapsody in Blue," "Humoresque" and in the re cently released "The Barkleys of Broadway." Music lovers know his fine musical taste artistery from a long list of Columbia recordings. Le vant combines all of these roles in his personal appearances which makes him one of the biggest attractions on the concert plat form today. ; Dorm Over Mass Meetings Threatened To Protest Deans' Decision Against Coed Visitors By Don Maynard Angered dormitory men yester day threatened mass meetings to protest the administration ruling Tuesday that dormitory social rooms cannot be used to enter tain" women because there are B Dorm Will Open PJew Room Tonight The official opening of "B" Dormitory social ' room will be held tonight at 8 o'clock with leading administration and stu dent officials attending.

"Are we less trust worthy than fraternity men?" was the almost unanimous query. A former fraternity man now living in A Dormitory pointed out that the Greek-letter societies are allowed women visitors in their houses without "any chaperon requirement. Why can't we have some sort of a written agreement such as the fraternities for wom en visitors?" he questioned. He declined to be named in print. The storm broke over a de cision by Dean of Students Fred Weaver and Dean of Women Katherine Carmichael that "there were not adequate facilities and staff" for men's dormitories to have women visiting in dorm, social rooms. "We don't think that we are prepared to have the coeds visit ing in the social rooms without chaperons," Weaver stated Tues day. But I. Jack Gural, 27-year-old graduate student in the Depart ment of City and Regional Plan ning, declared "if fraternities ar permitted women in their houses, we by all means should have the same privileges." Gural is in charge of decoration of the B Dorm social room which opens tonight. "We'll have in this room all the 'facilities' available to women in their coed dormitories," he de clared. Over in the lover quadrangle, Bobby Byrd, 20-year-old General College student living in Evc-rett stated: "I believe there's a def inite need for social rooms. Wom en visitors in dorm social rooms would work out as well as in fraternity houses." His roommate, Robert Clinard, 19, also in General College, con curred with Byrd and added that social rooms would be "a fine social gathering place for the men in the dorms." Married, 27-year-old Roy Cor clerman, who lives in C Dorm itory, said he thought the "ad ministration sees the problem, but they don't seem to be search ing for the answers."
