(Special) life at State's Kappa Sig house changed abruptly from cherries to three straight lemons recent ly when local police nabbed a nickel slot machine in the house basement. Police visited the fraternity house with a search warrant and found one student operating the machine. He was convicted of operating a gambling device and ordered to pay court costs. Cleared of the gambling charges were the fraternity president, house manager and dining room manager. According to testimony, they were of the opinion that it was Campus Chest Cccoff. Features Variety Show The date for the first part of the Campus Chest drive will be March 2 to 6. ' Previously the" Chest board considered the week of February 15 to 22. as it is Brotherhood Week. However, as it conflicts with other scheduled events on campus the board chose the later date. Since the date now set is just a week before final exams, Chair man Stuart Jones feels "that there will still be a lot of brotherhood left in the hearts of students and teachers alike at about this time." A variety show is being planned for the campaign and will be pre sented in Memorial Hall, March 4. John Caroll, chairman of'the show, is planning an hour and a half show. This early March campaign, the first of two Campus Chest drives, will feature aid to international causes, principally the World Stu dent Service Fund,- -The WSSF, which is also connected with CARE, is mainly concerned with aid to universities and education in foreign countries. Korea has been selected to be recipient of the money contributed here. Details of the campaign will be ironed out in a meeting Monday afternoon at 5 o'clock in the YMCA as each committee chairman pre sents his draft of campaign pro cedure.

Maurice Kidder. "The answer ot this question," said Mr. Kidder, "is the New Tes tament. Especially are the rudi mentary roots of Christianity in the first four books of .the New Testament, known collectively as the Gospels." Through the years people have wondered and asked, just how ac curate is this background? Speak ing before the Tuesday afternoon YWCA religious panel, Mr. Kid der answered this question point ing out. "Mark, the first of the Gospel writers, wrote just 35 years after the death of Christ. Thus he was able to do a very thorough work. Any events that he was not an eye witness to were passed to him and later writers from mouth to mouth. "At first glance this appears to be a rather shaky argument, but in Biblical times the spoken word was honored and deemed an even better contract or recorder of events than was the written word. Quite a contrast to today's world." Mark, and later Matthew, fol lowed by Luke and John wrote the Gospels in Greek for the most part. Different translations of the Bible have given different in terpretations of certain words. "It is very important that the Gospels be translated correctly as their writer intended them to be," stated Kidder. "The new revised Bible just out seems to be a very fair translation although it has met with criticism especially over the virgin , birth of Christ being trans lated to birthvby a young woman." But" re"gardielo5if fefent in terpretations, "the stories in Mark written for the Romans, in Mat thew written for the Jews and the other two books of the Gospel tell the story of Christ's baptism, rise from the dead, and many other events as only eye witnesses or people in close contact with eye witnesses could have written it." Mr. Kidder called Christianity "a historical religion and not one that has just been thought up. The Gospels, written thoroughly and critically, form its foundation and this base is a solid one." Lecture Will Open Exibit Dr. Clemens Somner will present a lecture tomorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock in Person Hall Art Gallery to formally open an exhibition of work done by contemporary North Carolina architects. The lecture, entitled "The Squares of Rome", will deal primar ily with 17th century Baroque ar chitecture of Rome. The talk is to be given in con nection with the 1953 Annual Meet ing of the North Carolina Chapter of the American Institute of Ar chitects Monster , . B Accomodate 526 Telephones By Sally Schindel (First in a series of periodic articles on the UNC medical center.) "This is the hospital paging service . . . Long distance? Just one minute. ... I'm sorry but the dcotor isn't in right now." So goes a typical day at the North Carolina Memorial Hos pital's switchboard which rates the distinction of being the new est in Chapel HiH. Not only does the three posi- vt finn switchboard accommodate the1 hospital's 52$ telephones, but it also takes care of all'pa tieflt outgoing" and incoming per sonal calls as well as long dis tance calls. s With its red, white and green lights continually blinking, this monster machine has an attach-, ment for a paging system used Up 3- r Non-Fraternity Voice Louder In Party Plans By Louis Kraar The University Party, whose tra ditional fraternity tag has hurt it in every election, made some changes yesterday. Equal representation in the party for dormitory and fraternity men was the i purpose of the change, according to UP leaders, who hailed the move .as the first major structural change in 28 years. The reorganizational plan is this: Every dormitory, fraternity and sorority would have one repre sentative on the steering cmomit tee, the party's governing body, plus one representative for every 25 residents. The steering committee is, in effect, the party. It, makes all nominations for': all offices, han dles publicity and manages finan cial affairs of the party. If the plan is utilized to the full extent, there will be 137 dormi tory men on the steering commit tee to 70 fraternity-sorority mem bers. In other words, the move will remove fraternity domination from the party ; if fully carried out. Machinery to put the new sys tem into operation is in the form of a committee headed by Archie Croxton. The - reorganizational committee will see all the dormi tory presidents about getting steer ing committee representatives from the dormitories J It is expected that steering coftunittee members from dorms .will. "be chosen bya spe cial elections or appointment-by dormitory presidents. Other dormitory residents who want to join the party must sub mit petitions with at least 25 names. New members of the party rep resenting dormitories won't have to pay fixed dues, according to I party officials. Fraternities pay $10 annually for membership in the party. UP leaders did say, however, that dorm members could make "voluntary contributions in support of the party. ' The University Party has in the past made other similar structural changes to foster dormitory inter est in the party. , This change, however, differs , slightly . from those in the past in that it pro vides at least one definite seat for every dormitory. "I am really happy that I had the privilege of being chairman of the University Party when this de cision was made. It is a great step forward for both the University Party and the campus," declared Walt McFall, UP chairman. CAA BASKETBALL 7:00 Smith vs. Nurses; 7:50 Chi Omega vs. Pi Phi; 8:40 Alpha Gams vs. Kappa Delta. Machine At for the entire staff of nurses and doctors. The operators on duty are kept busy with about 150 paging calls a day. In addition they keep a daily register for interns and resi dents in order to know where they can be located at all times, an on-call sheet for all services connected with the hospital (listing the individual, his oc cupation, and where he ' can be reached) and a roster of all pres- ent and discharged patients. The 24-hour service even wakes doc tors and nurses who are on calL The home of the switchboard is a restfully painted room with many conveniences, such as forced, cooled air, and every pre caution for i example, a fire alarm system direct to the fire station ' and an oxygen alarm system which goes off when the oxygen supply for patients gets low. Equippe Legislature, fully equipped for passing bills for the first time this quarter, will convene to night at 7:30 in Phi HalL Until now only introduction of bills has been possible. All bills have to be considered by one of the standing committees, and the committees had not been named. Committees were named and held meetings last week, so Legislature is" expected to be ready for complete functioning.

NEA Telephoto. . : & YMCA Needs Posts Filled Job opportunities are open for YWCA directors and secretaries in various sections of the country, and Mrs. Louise Pfuetze, personnel director of the YWCA National Board, will be on campus today and tomorrow to interview interested ested in physical education and students. Interested persons are to meet at 2 o'clock this afternoon upstairs in the Y building. Those who cannot meet at this time may call the Placement Bureau and arrange for an interview. Mrs. Pfuetze is especially inter ested in physical education and sociology majors who are gradua ting in June. Hospita Even more amazing than the switchboard itself is the unat tended office, better known as the equipment room, in the base ment. One machine in this sub terranean fortress handles all inter-hospital dial phone calls, another takes care of dial tones and busy signals, and another operates the switchboard. A small power supply plant, which charges batteries like an automo bile, is responsible for all the telephone equipment. All the automatic mechanisms have "substitutes" ready for in-, stant action in case one stops. All telephone lines come into the hospital through long tubu lar lead cables which climb one whole wall, some of which in clude as many as 300. ; pairs of wires. The telephone service is the nerve 1 center of the hospital, officials say. B Ran . -v- -!-.- raf S3s and Means committee tends to balance the power. . Most bills have to go through the Ways and Means committee. Bills on the spike for consid eration include a group intro duced by the SP which virtually comprise their entire fall plat form. The measures range from revamping election of Student Council to the soundproofing of dormitories. Last week's session was char acterized by its brevity and lack of attendance. Few bills were introduced and the only vital thing done was the naming of WASHINGTON The Senate For eign Relations Committee, heeding an urgent plea by Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, decided yester day to clear top diplomatic appoint ments without prior FBI investiga tion. The decision affected the nom inations of Gen. Walter Bedell Smith to be undersecrtary of State; President Bryant Conant of Har- yard University to be U. S. high commissioner to Germany, and Win throp W. Aldrich, to be ambassa dor 'to Britain. WASHINGTON The U. S. atom ic project is plunging into a new era of super weapons and super power. That is the gist of the Atom ic Energy Commission's 13th sem annual report to Congress, issued yesterday . The current $4,000,000, 00 expansion program greatest in the project's history, will give the nation a capital investment in ato mic energy of $7,500,000,000-five times what it was when the AECC took over six years ago. RALEIGH Legislation calling for a primary at which Tar Heels could indicate their preference for party presidential nominees was proposed in the State Senate yes terday. Sen. Terry Sanford of Fay- etteville, a former president of the state's Young Democrats, introduc ed a bill providing for primary elec tions which would not be binding on delegates to national party con ventions. TOKYO Gen.

Finance committee includes Bill Acker, chairman, David Brown, Don Geiger, Ed Nelson, Lynn Chandler, R. B. Fitch, Gor don Forester, Baxter Miller, Sey Wur Bane, Dave Clinard and Ed Stevens. Talent Needed To Entertain Lonely GPs Talent among students is being sought by the campus chapter of the American Red Cross for an en tertainment troop to travel to near by military installations and hos pitals. Hartwell Conklin and Jerry Reece, chairman of the local chap ter, say "to put it bluntly we need your help. If you sing in the show er, do bird imitations, pay the jug or washboard, or by chance have ever done either amateur or pro fessional entertaining, several thou sand lonely GI's are waiting to hear,, see and appreciate your own particular talent." The local chapter of the Red Cross has been sponsoring an en tertainment committee for several years for this purpose. This year they have been requested to pro duce three shows during the month of February. Students "interested in helping the GI's out in any way" are asked to attend tryouts in the Rendezvous Room of Graham Memorial tonight from 7 until 8:30. Muntzing New Head Alan For Y's Handbook Manning Muntzing is the new editor of the Carolina Handbook the Freshman Friendship Coun cil of the YMCA said yesterday. The handbook, which is sent to all freshmen before they come to Carolina, is for the purpose of giving information to newcomers. It tells them what to bring to Carolina, what they can expect the first few days, and gives them an insight into the various organiza tions here. Clay Johnson was elected busi ness manager to serve with Mun tzing. The first staff meeting will be at 4:30 Monday afternoon, in the information offices at the YMCA. Anyone interested in working on the handbook staff should attend this meeting, Muntzing said. "Plans have been made to get out an entirely new handbook this time," said. Muntzing is a staff writer for The Daily Tar Heel. INCOME TAX When making out federal in come tax returns, veterans should remember that payments received as veterans' benefits re generally not taxable and do not have to be reported as in come received during the year. "Such payments would include compensation, pension, subsis tence for education under the Gl Bill, dividends on government life insurance and any proceeds from such insurance.
