Y Supper Forum Hears Talks On French Union By Jennia Lynn "The French Union was born at a time when the national destiny of France was in question," said Dr Jacques Hardre, UNC French professor this week at the World Understanding Supper Forum. "The most delicate problem now is the one in Indochina, where the attempt to ward off Communism t without a struggle turned to this. They therefore Communism. "One young Indochinese had studied in Moscow and Pans,' who the Phi means to him. Things like the Phi serve- to reassure me in my belief of the goodness of man. In an organiza tion like the Phi, we have that happy union of thinking and ac tion," the incoming president said. Following his talk, the president administered the oath to the re mainder of the officers for the coming year. The new officers and their positions are: Richard Iobst, speaker; Larry Maddry, clerk; had studied m Moscow anu rdlia' Lawrence Matthews, treasurer; went back with the idea of inde-1 nnvalL sergeant-at-arms; Apin iv uiuoi. - fipnreetown pleted applications filed not later 1 0Vm than March 31, Dean Henry Bran- dis, Jr., of the University School of Law, announced yesterday. Many law schools give first con sideration to applicants for en trance in the fall of 1954 who have taken the Law School Admission Test in November, February or April," he explained. "Since each individual law school has its own preferences, in these matters, the prospective applicant should first find out from the law schools in which he is interested whether he should take the lest. The test is required of all applicants for ad mission to the UNC Law School."

In 1929, his father decided that Plaza should go it alone awhile. "I had an old racoon coat in those days that saw me through that fall and winter," he said "You see, they were the rage omAnD rnllpffp men then, so I'd rent mine out. It kept me going till the summer of 1930, then I hocked the thing." The day before I left the em bassy to go on my own for awhile Ecuadoran Ex-Chief Scheduled To Speak Tomorrow, Saturday Galo Plaza, former president of Ecuador, will open the 1954 Weil Lectures tonight at 8:30 with a speech an the general theme, ' "Problems of Democracy in Latin America." He also will ' speak tomororw and Saturday nights in Carroll Hall at the same hour. In view of the fact that the 10th Inter-American Conference is now being held in Caracas, Venezula, it is expected that he will discuss some of the problems under consideration there. The first address will be on "North and South Americans: A Comparison.". Friday night Plaza will speak, on "Ecuador: An iwt periment in Democracy," and his final talk Saturday night will be "Democracy in Latin America: Past and Future." Chancellor Rob ert B.

Dr. Hardre spoke after a talk made by Mrs. Dwight nnyne xu which she outlined the makeup of the French Union. Mrs. Rhyne told some of the purposes of the union and the work it has accomplished in Africa. "The French have done a great deal there," she said. "I saw families of four to six children living in mud huts where chickens and dogs shared the same living quarters. The French came m to build houses, hospitals, furnish free medical care." She said that they also opened schools which were free to all na tionalities and offered degrees similar to French degrees.

By James Wright "He has come up with nothing new nothing old, in fact," re plied Dr. L. O. Kattsoff, profes sor of philosophy here, to an announcement by a Mount Holy oke College professor that he had invented a "thinking ma chine." "These things have been around for years," continued Kattsoff. , Roger W. Holmes of the de partment of philosophy at Mount Holyoke College, Mass., says his machine can solve almost any problem in a lookon fundamen tal symbolic logic, and does for logic what the adding machine does for arithmetic. And don't mix his machine up with the mathematical type of mechani cal "brain" or computing ma chine, . Holmes warns. 2r. Kattsoff says such an an nouncement is trivial and doubts that Holmes has come up with anything new. He explained that such devices were discov ered back in the 19th century, and in addition to mathematical calculating machines, there are all sorts of machines today that can do logical problems. "Peo ple don't realize the extent to which these machines have been developed. In addition to the mathemati cal calculators, there are ma chines with tremendous memo ries, ones that can learn and forget, solve insurance prob lems, compute business cycles, play chess, and even solve their own errors, he went on. One mecmical brain pre dicted a landslide for Eisenhow er in the last election long be- , fore the field looked particular ly green for the former general. Kattsoff told of a machine th" can. "go shopping." A situation anagolous to shops is set up. and the machine is instructed to search for a particular item hid den in one of the shops. Once it has found the item, it "remem- ..i . i bers" where it is niooen anu can thenceforth go directly to it. "A machine that, can repro duce itself has been worked out," Kattsoff continued. "It is so constructed as to search the elements for materials to re- nut our consent- Peacock said he personally was for the raise. Peacock also commented yes terday on his reasons for remain ing in the editorial race as an inde pendent. (When he lost the Uni versity Party nomination w Charles Kuralt Tuesday night, he said he would not seek a Student Party nomination.) "My decision to run independ ently," he said, "is based on a deep feeling that the student body deserves a representative Daily Tar Heel, and that I am the best mialified candidate for the job.

Other trenches are to be dug for drain age purposes. The planners of the Old Well's new look plan a sentimental touch, too. Water in the Well's drinking fountain will be supplied, as it has been for some years, by the town. But it will be cooled by running it through copper tubing coiled in the well water which supplied student needs early in this century.

The former Ecuadorian presi dent is regarded as one of Latin America's more democratic lead ers and during his four-year term ending in 1952, guided his country to a degree of economic and so cial stability. In the matter of foreign policy ! he stands with the United States land principles enunciated in the Charter of the United Nations, of which he was one of the signers in 1944, while serving as Ecuador ian ambassador to Washington. Plaza is a firm believer in the Roosevelt-Hull "Good NeighDor policy. He is particularly proud ot the fact that, he founded tne non sectarian coeducational American School of Quito. Budget Meet Set Tomorrow RALEIGH, March 10. (ff) The Budget Commission will meet here tomorrow to act on a request from President Gordon Gray of the Con solidated University of North Caro lina for three new administrative posts in the University. The new positions would in include: A business officer and treasurer of the Consolidated Uni versity at a salary of $12,000; deans of faculty at the University in Chapel Hill and, at North Caro lina State College in Raleigh, at $11,000 each, and secretaries for the three at $3,000 each. This would make the total cost of the new positions $43,000 a year. construct itself, and leaves m- icause o political situation on structions mucn as living ue- S1 ings leave genes to the new machine as to how it can recon struct itself. "They do the kind of things that are ordinarily called think ing," Dr. Kattsoff explained, "and some people have even called the brain a machine. "Engineers claim that theo retically they see no reason that machines cannot be developed that can do the same thing the brain does, and do it better. "At the moment, thinking de vices are limited to certain types of responses, but the develop ment of the transistor will in finitely increase the storage ca pacity of their 'memories.'" this campus, a party nomination would probably have helped me Since I could not see my way clear in pomDromise myself to obtain a nomination, I am glad to have the advantage of an Independent can HiHate.
