Re credited his sur vival to "God's help" and that of citizens of the Red country. Hvasta had little to say in public after he hugged his mother so hard that her hat fell off and greeted a dele gation from his home town of Hill side, N. J. BERLIN JP) West em sources reported here yesterday that the Communists have moved an army division into Berlin's outskirts and handed, heavy arms to their peo ple's police in an effort to head off a new East German rebellion. Re ports from throughout the Soviet zone said Sast Germans were threatening, to rise in a revolt sim ilar to the one of last June 17 when workers staged a series of violent uprisings. The rumblings of dis content came as Russian delegates to the big power meeting here were staging a filibuster on Ger man free elections and unifica tion of all Germany under one government. WASHINGTON JP) The "great debate" over the Bricker Amendment and proposed substi tutes for it was carried to the grass roots today as election-conscious Republicans made the most of a Lincoln Day week's break in the treaty fight to see what the folks back home think about the propos als to limit the president's treaty making powers. This "home-folks" sentiment is expected to have hea vy bearing on what the Senate fin ally decides on the matter.

By Placement Bureau Carolina Grads Liked By Employers Polled Employers like Carolina grad uates, according to a survey con ducted by the Placement Bureau. A total of 170 businesses were surveyed for information on 247 former University students hired during 1951-52. Inquiry was made only about those students who received an A.B. or B.S. de gree, who registered with the Placement Service, and 'who re ported name and address of their employer. One hundred and sixty-one employers (95 per cent) compliedwith the request for data on 229 former students (41 women, 187 men). The questionnaire covered (1) evaluation of work in general, adequacy of college training, at titude, and ability to get along with others, (2) separations, and (3) general remarks. The questionnaire was brief with ready-made answers to ..be checked, but, Director Galloway pointed out, most respondents took the time to make explana tory statements. "By asking employers to check 'excellent,' 'good,' 'fair,' or 'poor on the characteristics listed un der the first question, we have overcome interpretive difficul ties, but undoubtedly incurre'd a halo effect in some ratings," Galloway explained. On all four traits, from 83 to 0 per cent of the students were judged good and excellent. Very few were considered poor or fair by their employers, and only one was rated poor in all four areas, Galloway reporte'd. Some employ ers felt they could not evaluate the adequacy of the employee's college training because the job did not correlate exactly with the training, he added. Women Safe Vofe For New WRC Charter The Woman's Residence Council may have a constitution Tuesday, after two years of operating with out one. (The Council meets Tuesday af ternoon at 4 o'clock in tho main lounge of Graham Memorial to vote on the constitution, drawn up by B. O. Anderson, chairman of the group, Betsy Clarke, secretary, and members Anne Benton and Kit Wallace. Two coeds from each dorm and one from each sorority will be eligible to vote. In 1951, the Coed Senate was abolished and the Woman's Resi dence Council has been operating ever since without a charter. By weighing the evaluations given each student," he said, "we find the average composite rating to be well above good, and the median rating to be halfway between good and excellent." The study showed that 98 stu dents (43 per cent) had left their original jobs at the time of the survey. Of these, 28 had been called into the services, 64 had resigned to accept other employ ment or for personal reasons, and six had been fired. Seventy-three per cent of the total number separated could be recommended, and 67 per cent would be re-employable. In all only two uould not obtain a re commendation and 16 would be recommended only with reserva tions. Of the total number of busi ness administration majors rat ed, only 18 per cent resigned from their jobs for reasons other than military; 41 per cent of all the liberal arts majors resigned voluntarily, the survey showed. Galloway ponited out that this trend is noted in a similar study of the class of 1950 when 16 per cent of the business majors and 24 per cent of the liberal arts majors left their jobs voluntarily. "Discarding one possible fac tor for this difference in this study the girls we find 17 per cent business majors and 36 per cent liberal arts majors among the men resigning," Galloway said. "About half of the women and only 24 per cent of the men in this study had left their orig inal employers voluntarily." Kenton, Crew Play In Raleigh For Foot-Thumping Collegians By Fred Powledge Daily Tar Heel Staff Writer RALEIGH, Feb. 6 It was college night Friday when Stan Kenton and the Festival of Modern Ameri can Jazz played here. The Capital City's Memorial Au ditorium was packed with colle gians, from Eckstine-collered cats with Washington Square haircuts and draped pants, to Ivy Leaguers with round collars and regimental stripe ties. They all came from Carolina, State, Duke, WC, Wake Forest and every other school within 50 miles to hear Stan Ken ton and progressive jazz. Kenton played progressive jazz, all right but the man who evoked the most applause was Dizzy Gil lespie, who with Charlie Parker is credited with being a co-founder of modern jazz. Dizzy didn't have his beret on. But he did wear an orange tie, goa tee and dark glasses. And he play ed a squealing, shrieking trumpet that kept feet thumping and .words .(CAMPUS JS e dj - skirted, green-coated, blonde-haired I coed' walking 'to class from Spencer, a large hole in the left heel of her white bobby sox showing over the top of a loafer.

Gray, Umstead To Help Seat State's Leader RALEIGH, Feb. 6 (P) Tenta tive plans for the formal installa tion of Dr. Carey H.

"i The ceremonies will be held in Reynolds Coliseum Feb. 22 at 3 p.m. Dr. Bostian began his duties as chancellor of the college last Sept. 1, succeeding Col. J. W. Har relson, who retired. Gov.

Pol lowing this, Dr. Bostian will mal-e his inaugural address. of encouragement coming from the unsegregated audience. Along with Dizzy and Stan, the Festival brought several other well-known exponents of modern jazz. Charlie Parker, who used to work with Billy Eckstine, made playing a saxophone look simple. The collegiate audience liked his "What Is This Thing Called Love." Lee Konitz, playing an alto sax, brought back memories of Benny Carter when that musician played in "The Snows of Kilimanjaro," but evidently the audience wanted faster music. They didn't give him the hand he deserved. Last on the two-and-a-half-hour program was platinum-haired June Christy. June, who made her name with "How High the Moon," brought out many a wolf -howl from the boys and a few elbows-in- the-ribs from their coed dates. In her low-cut, simple dress, June looked and sounded very much like another blonde who's singing now Doris Day.

Al House and Alex Heard, pres idents of the UNC Young Demo crats and the Orange County Young Democrats, respectively, in a joint statement yesterday said that Scott, who had earlier form ally announced his candidacy for the state's junior seat in the U. S. Senate, will speak in the Chapel Hill High School Auditorium Wednesday night at 8 o'clock. Scott carried Orange County in both primary races for governor in 1948 and later ' appointed a Chapel Hillian, Dr. Frank P. Gra ham, to the United States Sen ate. Another Chapel Hill resident, John W. Umstead, Jr., was con sidered one of the leaders of Scott's backers in the State Leg islature during his four-year term. The former governor is expected to outline plans for his approach ing campaign and to spend "quite a bit of time on the Young Dem ocrats' positive contribution to government," according to spokes men for the sponsoring groups. "He is especially interested in the positive approach in politics,'" a Y.D.C. member said yesterday. The speech Wednesday nighl will mark the climax of a three- day membership drive by the lo cal Young Democrats. Local YDC officials stressed that the meeting will "'not be a Scott rally" but merey the first in a series of "meet the candidate programs" to be presented by the two groups. The membership drive, which will start tomorrow, will feature 'membership booths in Y-Court and Lenoir Hall and dormitory canvas- sing by members of tne ciud. Charles Dean, chairman of the UWC Democrat's membership committee, said the immediate goal of the drive is to raise member ship in the organization from 275 to 1000. To Begin Here June 15 Artin, Rado Selected For Math Conference Two internationally distinguish ed mathematicians; Prof. Emil Ar tin and Prof. Tibor Rado, will be the principal lecturers at an eight 'week Conference on Collegiate Mathematics . to be conducted at the University June 15 to August 6. Purpose of the Conference is to assist colleges and universities in improving undergraduate training in mathematics. It is expected to draw 80 to 100 college teachers from institutions throughout the country. The program is being sponsored and financed by, the National Sci ence Foundation which has award ed the University a grant of $15, 000. The Conference is being direct ed by Prof. Edward A.

Ex-Govarnor Makes Candidacy Official By Chuck Hauser Daily Tar Heel Associate Editor HAW RIVER, Feb. 6 "The race is on." With those words, former Gov- ernor W. Kerr Scott today an- nounced his Icandidacy for the U. S. Senate seat held by Alton Lennon of Wilmington, an appoin tee of Governor William Umstead. The Democratic primary is sched uled for May 29. V - Scott, standing before an open fire in the dining room of his Haw River home, madev his candidacy official at 3 o'clock this after noon, confirming what has been general but unofficial knowledge for some time. His first appearance of the campaign is slated for Chapel Hill next Wednesday evening. Asked by a reporter whether he would make a speech at Chapel Hill, Scott answered: "Well, I'll be there . . . Gordon Gray hasn't written it for me yet." The man who won the governor ship in 1948 by beating the "ma chine' which had controlled the state for many years declared him self in the Senate race exactly six years after he had announced as candidate for governor. Asked if he would follow through by filing with the State Board of Elections on the anniversary of his filing for governor, Scott said first he woud have to dig up the filing fee. "I think three dry cows and about two good milk cows ought to do it," he added. Scott will ac tually pay $250 to file $125 each for the short and regular terms open. More than 30 cameramen, news paper, radio and television per sonnel attended the informal press conference held in the rambling farm home and on the large, grassy lawn in front of the house. Among reporters present was Roy Parker Jr. of the Parker newspapers in Ahoskie, a former editor of The Daily Tar Heel. Charlie Dean, an official of the UNC student Young Democrats Club, asked Scott if he favored President Eisenhower's proposal to lower the voting age to 18. The former governor replied that he had gone on record as favoring 18-year-old voting privileges in a message to the Legislature during his terms as North Carolina chief executive. Scott said a physical examina tion two weeks ago showed he was in good health. He will be 58 years old on April 17, and he weights 192 pounds, although he said he expected to gain "about 20 pounds" on the barbecue cir cuit during the campaign. "I'd prefer it to be high-type," said Scott ref erring to the forth- coming campaign. A reporter asked what would happen if the other side started throwing mud. "The object of that would be dust," mused the farmer from Haw River. The sun sifted down between clouds as Scott, seated be- fore a sma11 table on the lawn delivered a prepared statement a microphone connected with ia tape recorder brought aong by a ate Scott said he had already visit ed 68 of the state's 100 counties, and. he would try to hit them aI1 aunns ine tamPaisu CPU Meets To Discuss Forthcoming TV Shows The Carolina Political Union will . meet in business session tonight at 8 in the Grail Room to discuss plans for the coming series of tv broadcasts which the CPU is spon- soring over WNAO-TV.
