Ill i 1 VOLUME LXI, NUMBER 68 CHAPEL HILL, N. C, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 7, 1953 FOUR PAGES TODAY Stuart Jones P J J I May As Z3 New Campus yss h!H 7wB Chest Leader 01 Durham Road Is Accepted; Costs Raised For the first time since shortly after it was formally opened Sept. 19, motorists can now traverse the new Durham-Chapel Hill High way without dodging cracks and holes in the pavement. The eight and a half mile stretch was accepted last week by the State Highway Commission which agreed to pay the road builder $666,000 instead of the $430,732.50 which originally was bid. The contractor was Nello L. Teer of Durham. Soon after the road was open ed this fall, cracks began to ap pear. The state had not yet accept ed the job as complete and said it would not until Teer repaired the highway. Teer maintained that the road trouble resulted from poor drainage which he blamed on the Highway Department's decis ion to omit drainage ditches along a stretch of the highway. Subse quently, the ditches were put in. The contractor also contended that his company would be paid for the extra work it was called on to do in making the repairs. Part of the $222,300 difference result ed from a change in specificatoins. Apparently the rest went to reim burse Teer for filling in the holes. Most of the patches on the road were applied on the New Hope Creek section near the Orange Durham county line.

House early in January. The program is coordinated with general development planning in itiated by President Gordon Gray at each of the three campuses com prising the Consolidated Univer sity. At Chapel Hill a Development Council, on which is represented each of the several foundations and agencies seeking support for Uni versity activities, Is headed cur rently by J. Spencer Love, who took' over responsibility as vice- chairman following the death ofj James A. Gray of Winston-Jsalem, the first chairman. Alumni Annual Giving as a pro gram was launched officially last commencement "when alumni en dorsed plans presented by an Alumni Association committee headed by' Albright. Bost, a son of the late widely known Raleigh newspaperman, was graduated at' the University m 1935. For a year he was sports editor of a Raleigh newspaper, returning to Chapel Hill in 1936 as an assistant in the University News Bureau. From 1942 he spent three vears in the Signal Corps, 18 months in the, European l ne ater.

Carolina Gets Polio Grant Of $21,942 A March of Dimes grant of $21,- 942 will enable scientists at the University to develop methods to distinguish between illnesses caused by Coxsackie and polio viruses. Under the dircetion of Dr. Ed ward C. Curnen Jr., head of the Department of Pediatrics in the University School of Medicine, the project will seek to develop lab oratory and clinical tests to dif ferentiate between polio and ill nesses caused by the Coxsackie viruses. The similarity of symptoms pro duced by infection wiht a Cox sackie virus to poliomyelitis causes many diagnostic difficulties, espe cially as some patients also harbor polio virus. Under the terms of the March of Dimes grant, Dr. Curnen and his associates will subject a selected number of appropriate patients to examinations in an effort -to de termine what diagnostic criteria are essential to differentiate Cox sackie virus infections from other illnesses. GOOD, BETTER AND BEST It's Coeds 6 To 1, And Date Bureau Can't Find Enough Men Special To The Daily Tar Heel MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Jan. 6. Dates may come and dates may go, but never have the lads at the University of Minnesota had it so good so much. They have a dating agency that has six girls to every guy. What more could a guy ask? The girls thought a dating agency might be fun, so this fall they called the social chairman of the men's dorms and things began to roll. It takes only a simple request to get a date. All the boys have Stuart Jones was named chair man of the Campus Chest yester day by President Ham Horton, who dubbed it the "second most im portant appointment of the year." Jones, a junior from Winston Salem, plans tomorrow to announce the board of directors for this campus counterpart of the Com munity Chest and have them meet in the next few days. The Campus Chest operates on the theme of "give once and serve all." It is the only authorized charity drive on campus and dis tributes funds collected among all worhty charities. No other charity can legally solicitate funds on campus, except the chest, by or der of a legislative act passed several years ago. v The board of directors to be announced by Jones will have two main duties: 1. To decide what charities will be supported. 2. To determine how much will be contributed to each one. In accepting the position Jones said, "I am looking forward with confident expectations to a united drive that will be successful for the efforts of the students and the value to the recipients." During his career at the Uni- versiyt, Jones has served on the Inter-Faith Council, Phi Assem bly, Westminister Fellowship and The Daily Tar Heel staff. Last year's Campus Chest cam paign netted over $2,200 and sup ported five worthy organizations. Supported by the chest last years were the Amreican Cancer So ciety, the American Heart Asso ciation, the Red Cross, the North Carolina League for Crippled Chil dren and the World Student Serv ice Fund. One dollar per student was the goal set up for last year's pro gram. Jones and the board of di rectors are expected to determine the goal for this campaign in their meetmg. A variety show was presented by campus entertainers to spark the drive last year. Preliminary plans for a similar show are un der way for this year. A shoe shine stand in Y Court operated by campus leaders also primed the till in the last campaign. Similar stunts are expected in this cam paign. Town Buys Burial Tract With only 40 plots left avail able for graves in the present cem etery, Chapel Hill aldermen have voted to buy a new tract of 25V2 acres. The new cemetery . will be locat ed on the Durham hig'hway, a lit tle over two miles from the Chap el Hill town limit. The purchase price was reported at about $17, 000.

The present cemetery is located on Ra leigh Road just beyond Winston Dormitory. to do is call up the agency and place their order. The boys who run the agency brag that their girls come in three grades good, better and best. The agency keeps informa tion cards on the 60 girls who are members of the agency.

NEA Telephoto. Mentally 111 May Enter Hospital Nov The University Medical School and Hospital are now in a position for the first time to provide com plete diagnosis and treatment for the mentally ill. The Psychiatric Diagnostic Treatment and Research Center of the hospital has opened, and both outpatients and inpatients are be ing accepted. Dr. Edward C. Frank, formerly of the staff of the Psy chosomatic Institute of Chicago, is serving as director of the Psychi atric Treatment Center. Staff members in the Depart ment of Psychiatry teach in the Medical School and see patients in the Psychiatric Clinic. Dr. George C. Ham is chairman of the Depart ment of Psychiatry. The function of the Psychiatric Diagnostic, Treatment Center, Dr. Frank explained, is the care of pa tients who have emotional diffi culties. Patients are seen by pre vious appointment, except in the case of emergencies. Patients may be referred to tne Center here by any physician, by a social agency cards also, so the girls can do a little checking, too. The date bureau was set up to "supplement" the regular ex change parties between men's and women's dormitories. If a customer isn't a gentle man, the girls turn in their com plaint to the bureau. The cus tomer can not receive the serv ices of the bureau after that. So far the only complaint the girls have made is that there are not enough men who want to order them. hazzards and corrective measures of some sort taken, and corrective measures of some sort taken. This action follows an official condemning of every, fraternity and sorority house on campus ex cept one. Under existing Norht Carolina law (Chapter 69, section 8), all V Hi -V. -- WASHINGTON Sen. McCarthy (R-Wis) made public yesterday a photographic copy of a 1913 let ter signed by Presidnet Truman thanking Henry W. Grunewald for generous" support in that elec tion year. McCarthy handed report ers the copy shortly after he asked the Senate Rules Committee to look , into political contributions to Sen. Monroney (D-Okla) which McCarthy said was solicited from Gruenwald. Gruenwald, a mysteri ous WTashington figure, was re indicted here Monday by a federal grand jury for contempt of Con gress for refusing to answer ques tions of a House committee in vestigating tax scandals. PARIS The U. S. State Depart ment is making a vigorous cam paign to block Moscow's efforts to pin a propaganda lable of "anti- Semitism" on the Rosenberg atomic spy case. French and other European Cmomunists had hopped on the death sentencing of Ethel and Julius Rosenberg for betraying American atomic secrets to the Soviets as a smoke-screen for Red anti-Semitism which came to light in the recent Communis' show trials" in Prague. SEOUL Mere than 100 Allied fighter-bombers swarmed within 30 miles of the Yalu River yester day as UN fliers continued to step up the pace of their devastating aerial war. The mass raid just south of the border came less than 24 hours after B-29 superforts blasted a huge supply depot near Pyongyang. And only a few hour: earlier Allied Sabre jets damaged two Russian-built MIG's, although the UN planes were outnumbered three to one. RALEIGH Forecasts of a har monious 1953 General Assembly resounded yesterday as North Carolina's legislators prepared to hold Democratic caucuses tonight tq name Senate and House officers 7 MP ISJPWS i ll IMI tip I ! I3- buildings other than private dwell ings not over three stories in height, in which rooms are to be rented, shall "be constructde so that the occupants of all rooms above the first floor shall have unobstructed access to two sep arate and distinct ways of egress extending from the uppermost floor to the ground. The law also contains limita tions regarding corridors and other means of access to the exits. Compliance with the law, par ticularly the corridor specifica tions, will necessitate costly and extensive remodleing in many houses, it was stated. The group met in the Morehead Building. The resolution, introduced by Margaret Johnston, Chi Omega house manager, was passed unani mously. Its passage initiates a col lective effort by the fraternity and sorority officers to seek a legis lative amendment to "make the law more flexible in regard to fraternity and sorority houses." It also was resolved to investi gate a possible reduction in in stallation costs by calling for "col lective" bids. Under this plan a construction company would bid for contracts from a number of houses and thereby offer a lower price. Asked if there were a possible loophole in the law, L. J. Phipps, former Chapel Hill Recorder's Court judge, said there seems to be none. The only solution which would avoid incurring construc tion costs, he added, would be to persuade the Legislature to amend j this portion of the code. Phipps said he thought he could get Orange County Legislator John W. Umstead to introduce the mendment at the next session. Earlier in the meeting, Assistant Dean of Students Roy Holsten pointed out it is not necessary to follow the specific plan suggest ed by safety officials. Individual houses may devise any plan which provides two acceptable methods of egress from each floor. These alternate plans must be approved by the officials, however. Holsten recommended that the fraternities and sororities "gat to work as soon as possible." 'I would also recommend that you call in alumni groups and faculty advisers in this matter." he added. Holsten will call a meeting to day or tomorrow in which the same group will discuss the prob- em with Mayor Ed Lanier and Town Manager Thomas Rose. Now Crificism Of Literary Sophisticated BOSTON, Mass., Jan. 6. Pres ent day literary criticism has a sophistication unknown 20 years ago when the critics did their lam basting in little magazines, radical journals and bohemina cafes. This new look in literary criti cism was explained by a Univer sity of North Carolina English pro fessor. Dr. C. Hugh Holman who presented a paper, "American Lit erary Criticism: 1930-1952," before the American Literature Group of the Modern Language Association meeting which ended here recent- ly- Dr. Holman said that the most significant trend in the past few years has been "the movement of literary criticism onto our college and university campuses. "In 1930," he added, "a person reading a paper like this at MLA would not have had the embarrass ment of speaking directly to the subject authors. Report Students who visited trustees over Christmas holidays about the Saturday class issue are re quested to notify President Ham Horton immediately. Horton explained that unless the students report "we cannot know where we stand in the fisht against Saturday classes."
