SEOUL Allied warplanes un leashed an orgy of fiery destruc tion over North Korea yesterday. It concluded a record 1,000-mile round trip fighter-bomber smash within 50 miles of Russia's Siber ian border. Sabre jets tangled five times with Communist MIG-15's, but pilots made no claims of dam aging any Red aircraft. WASHINGTON Gen. James A. Van Fleet declared yesterday that the U. S. must win a military victory in Korea to maintain the "prestige, honor, and influence' of this nation in world affairs. Van Fleet favors extension of the present draft period to 30 or 36 months because "the boys would be better prepared and would have a better chance of coming back Bii, t rnmbat." But he added that the extra time would be spent in training and not on the front lines. However, President Eisen hower is riot in favor of Van Fleet's proposal. WASHINGTON President Eis enhower said yesterday that if the investigations led by Sen. McCar thy get into the fields which might cause damage or misunderstanding, it would be up to the president to try to improve the situation. But Eisenhower told his news con ference he will try to avoid a sit uation in which he might have to express his views. Kll BRIEF I of such an office when I feel that this feature (the CUSC) of the pro gram of consolidation has accom plished little, if anything at all. On the contrary, it has, in my opinion, served only as a gag for the ex pression of student opinion, especi ally on this campus." President Horton accepted the resignation and said, "I dont in tend to appoint any one to fill his seat at the present time. I'm in clined to agree with the things said in his resignation." Asked if he was against the con solidation of the three schools (Carolina, Woman's College; and N. C. State), President Horton said his objection was aimed at the Con solidated University Student Coun-1 cil rather than the Consolidated University. The CUSC is composed of dele gates from each of the three schools in the Consolidated Uni versity. Tom Sully, also a Carolina student, is president. Purpose of the group is "to act as a liason be tween the student body of the Con solidated University and the ad ministration of the Consolidated University" according to the group's constitution. Adams also stated, "This program of consolidation is not working and by its very nature cannot work ef fectively when problems and opin ions on the three campuses are en tirely different and cannot be voic ed in a consolidated manner." Hesaid this" point was illustrated "when a delagation, or delegations, of the CUSC, though not directly concerned, will not venture forth to further the cause of consolida tion by supporting the problems of the delegation directly concern ed with situations affecting one group of the Consolidated Uni versity Student Body." He said in the resignation, which became effective yesterday, that "there is no personal animosity on my part toward any member of the CUSU, but that I have reach ed this decision purely on the ba sis that I cannot work to any really profitable ends." Carolina Dance Groups To Visit Greensboro, Durham The University Square Dance Club will give a demonstration to morrow, night in Greensboro at the N. C. Square Dance Festival.

Objection Sustained Razors And Ink Censor 'Fun' From Gopher Humor Magazine MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., March 5 (Special) The University of Minnesota's recent issue of Tech nolog, campus humor magazine, came out yesterday, but not in one piece. The "objetionable" humor was sliced out with razor blades or covered over with penetrating ink. Altogether, four pages had sections cut out and one page had two infers oblterated with ink. Editor Bob Bevensee and several staff members decided to "voluntarily" cut out the offending humor. Bevensee told the local student senate committee on student af fairs yesterday afternoon that "since the decision to remove cer tain objectionable material from the February issue would event ually be made by someone," he and the Technolog board decided they Student As Trustee Is Ken s Plea The Student Party presidential hopeful yesterday said he would like to see students represented with a seat on the university's 100 man Board of Trustees. Ken Penegar said he favored this "in order that student opinion might be consulted before board decisions are made." Penegar also answered a chal lenge of opponent Bob Gorham (UP) "to debate the isues of the campaign." Penegar's complete statement: "Well, as I said two weeks ago in a statement to The Daily Tar Heel, I want to discuss every prob lem common to all of us as students with the students themselves and ; my opponents. Rather than a form- al debate in which the by-standing student has no part, I am re-chal- ; lenging my opponents to a discus sion of current problems in every University-owned living unit on j campus and to any other house j Where we are invited. ! "In such discussions I think the ' candidates should put forth their ', ideas on how best to meet current problems, so that the students might have some basis for compar ison of the candidates, then if a student's point of view is not rep resented by either candidate, he icould advance his own ideas. "While we should listen to such suggestions, a candidate in-my opin ion should start out with some ideas of his own tempered with ma jority will after all, that is why we have our representative democ racy. "Two weeks ago I made three specific proposals on matters of importance to all of us (these dealt with a civil service system for ap pointments, a bond issue for a new student activities center and a pro posal for a removal from politics of Student Council nominations a proposal supported by my party in the Legislature). "I think it is interesting to note that we have yet to hear from the opposition on these matters. "Today I should like to add a fourth proposal that student gov ernment attempt to secure a seat on the University Board of Trus tees for students in order that stu dent opinion might be consulted before board decisions are made. Again I am suggesting that a posi tive type campaign based on prob lems of legitimate concern to stu dents and our self-government would be best for the campus. Per haps I am mistaken, but I believe the students want and certainly de serve a mature campaign. "In the realm of the student en tertainment series, I don't believe that the student "is getting his money's worth there. Less than half of our student body is able to attend the presentations at a time. The students would have the final say of course, but one solu tion would be a partial subscrip tion system something like the Community Concert series. I won der if Mr. Gorham would commit himself on this issue. "In a mature campaign there is no room for self-pitying sympathy (See PENEGAR, page 2) should do it themselves. In' de leting the "objectionable" humor, j Bevensee said the recommenda tions of the senate committee on student affairs sub-committee were j followed. The actual cutting of the 2,400 .magazines was done Saturday and 'Monday afternoons by the Tech : nolog staff, board and several I coeds. Bevensee said future issues this spring will be reviewed before i publication by the editor and a Technolog board committee. Dean of Students E. G. William soni said, "I'm very glad students have taken action although I'm sure the action was" not wholly satisfactorily to all the students." Williamson also added, "The edi tor's effort to correct the situation ' is generably commendable."

Mostest Hostess 1 Awful .'Lot' Of WaZfno At Hospital By Sally Schindel This is another in a series of periodic articles on the Medical Center and its personnel.) I walk at least three miles every day." But Mrs. Barbara Walser, hostess " of the North Carolina Memorial Hospital, has a job which includes many other duties besides an "aw ful lot of walking." According to this pert, blue-eyed graduate of Carolina, the primary work of the hostess is to acquaint the people of the state with the facilities of the hospital so they will know how the taxpayer's mon ey is spent and also to help the av earge person overcome his fears and misgivings about hospitals in general. These duties include such things as acting as guide to various clubs and interested groups which come to see the hospital. Doctors from throughout the state come to ac quaint themselves with the facili ities so they can send their local patients here for special treatment if necessary. These groups may vary in number from two to two hundred persons in one day. An even more fascinating aspect of the hospital tours, reports the hostess, is the foreign public health officials and doctors who "want to know everything about the hospital inside and out." These professional men come from all over the world. In connection with the tours, the hostess is in charge of training volunteer guides and of charting the routes for large tours so each of five groups could leave a given spot 10 minutes apart and not bump into each other a pretty dif ficult undertaking unless well ac quainted with the plan of the hos pital. When not busy with tours, Mrs. Walser "flits around doing differ ent jobs kind of like a jack of all trades." This might entail help ing in the administrative office With secretarial work, organizing schedules for reserving conference space in the hospital, keeping track of all movie equipment, ' black boards, and other visual aid equip ment or any other odd job that may arise as a result of her being num ber one on the "stand by" list for anything special that may come up. Mrs. Walser began work on her public relations type job on July 1 although the hospital was then not quite completed. In order to learn about the setup of the building and the placement of the various departments she had to "poke around" with a flashlight in every cluttered nook and cranny. At that time names weren't even on doors and other identifying factors were Just not there. In spite of her early orientation ceriod and thorough knnwled?p nf the various departments, she still feels like Miss wide E d be cause, "being unfamiliar with hos nitals hpf nrp fom in? hprp. T nm stm amazed at tMg tremendous new j- i In summarizing her job, the hos tess says, "it's wonderful to know how many individuals are interest ed in the hospital and at the same time satisfying to feel you are help ing them to know and understand their hospital." Mrs. Walser is the former Bar bara Merrill, Tri Delt and mem ber of the class of '52; she was also a cheerleader and sorority house i -President i YMCA Nominating Committee The YMCA Nominating Commit tee will meet at noon tomorrow in the Y office.
