' Rq 1 1 y-M a n J 6 h n n y Lq h Ploys Gbncer Dance Today Left-Handed Fiddler From North Carolina Will Make Music For First IDC Program (The man who will open IDC Dance festivities this afternoon, Johnny Long, is the man who helped lead a Carolina pep rally last fall. Long, Duke alumnus and native . of Newall, N. C, will play for the first Interdormitory Council Dance, which will be free to all Carolina students. All students may attend both the concert, from 3 to 5 this afternoon, and the dance, from 8 to midnight. Dress will be semi- formal. Long played here last October at the Fall Germans, along with Tom my Tucker. It was then that the bandmaster, with five of his mu sicians, helped out cheerleaders and the football team with a home coming pep rally that wound down Franklin Street, across the cam THIS, and back to Memorial Hall. Long, who has recorded such tunes as "Well Build a Bunga low" and "In a Shanty in Old Shantytown," ran into his first professional trouble at tne age of six. He had been studying vxu lin a year when an over-hungry pig bit him on the left hand, sev- prinff the tendons o several im gers. His teacher, fearing his hand mieht be some time in healing, restrung the violin. Now he bows with the left hand and fingers wnn the right the reverse of what every other violinist in the world does. Tn did concert work at the age of ten, and continued until sixteen. At seventeen, ne enierea Duke University, where he ma jored in English. During his freshman year, John ny organized a band, "The Fresh man Orchestra." The next year the band called itself "The Duke Sophomores." Next year, "The Duke Juniors," and finally, "The Duke Collegians." After the band was graduated from Duke, it began taking pro fessional dates. Since Johnny was Sigma Nu at Duke, he was and stiH ig in constant demand to play for the fraternity's 100 chap ters. Johnny first recorded "In a Shanty in Old Shantytown" back in 1940, and the record is still in demand. Other popular Long re cordings include "Blue Skies," "When I Grow Too Old To Dream," "Paradise," and "Just Like That," a tune Johnny wrote. (The one that seemed to be most popular when Johnny and his "Cottonpicker Five" played at Chapel Hill last fall was "When The Saints Go March ing In," one that seems to be in constant demand on southern uni versity campuses. ' '" The North " Carolinian has ap peared recently at three leading hotels and two popular theaters in New York. At the. Hotels New Yorker, Statler, and Commodore, his" band 'was a favorite with danc ers, and Paramount and Strand Theater audiences received him warmly. Barbara Hammond, vocalist with the Long orchestra, is a miss who started out as an opera singer. Born in Binghamton, New York, Barbara started singing in a pro- iessional choir, where she" was ' eventually featured as a soloist. After appearing on radio and with the Triple Cities Opera Company, Barbara went to New York, where she studied classical and operatic scores under Edward Harris. While in New York, she ap peared on several musical pro grams on radio and television. Realizing that there wasnt too much opportunity in opera, she turned her efforts to the popular field, and soon found herself in demand for both leading radio and TV shows. A short time later she was signed for long-term tour by Long. ft- "i -y. ' X BARBARA HAMMOND ... Long's singer Hayride The Westminster Fellowship is sponsoring a hayride tonight.

In a brief and separate cere mony immediately following the student initiation, five honorary i members, all from local ROTC staffs, were added to the Scabbard and Blade Roll. They were: Major Joe O. .Young, Cadet Records, AFROTC; Captain George F. Goodi ni, Marine' Officer-Instructor at the NROTC: Captain Edward D Sergeant John A. Quinn, coach of the Navy rifle team which won the Secretary of the Navy trophy last year. (The National Society of Scab bard and Blade, composed of more than 120 companies in colleges and universities across the nation, was founded in 1905 at the Uni versity of Wisconsin for the pur pose of raising the standard of military training in our schools and to aid in the development of officers of the highest calibre. Army, Navy and Air Force cadets are eligible for membership, the sole basis for which is merit. Two intiations are conducted each school year, one each in the fall and spring semesters.

He said he felt the board had acted in good conscience and so had he. The board Thursday sent a let ter of resignation to Col. Thomas H. Upton, state director- of selec tive service. It said its action was in protest: against "political pres- snrevlrciflk .Washington." : i.i.-y. -i; The board, Upton and Gen. Her shey declined to reveal the name of the youth involved. However, the father of James Lewis Carter, Jr., said he was "pretty sure" the board quit because of his son s case. Records of the state selective service office showed that young Carter's induction had been post poned from March 19 to June 1 on orders from Hershey. Voung Carter, a basketball play- m m M A I er, is scneauiea to graduate in June. Gen. Hershey said this was the reason he ordered his induc tion postponed. He pointed out that it was merely a postponement and the army "is going to get him I anyway." - Asked about the board's charge of political pressure, Gen. Hershey said "I don't know what they mean by political pressure." He said his office receives literally hundreds of messages weekly in volving draft cases, many of them from Congressmen. "I don't happen to agree that a member of Congress hasn't the right to ask me to look into a case," Hershey said. He added that the only obligation he assumed in receiving a request was to look (See DRAFT, page 4) Not mange i3Sfiiy y.11PJ1jiTll1f,WMWKj1iuili)ULiiiiiiiiu..-rgff;iff.i'iM U iimimMWMWMjwmMmum f-' :::::::-::::o:-:::::-r:srT:::::::;.

Coed Visit Discussions To Continue ToddylA;rl Another round in the student-Administration discussion on' coed visiting in fraternity houses will be held today at 1 pjn. in the Dean of Students office. Involved in the negotiations is the question of whether coeds shall visit in fraternity houses and if so, whether they shall be allowed to drink members. along with fraternity Since suspension of the Coed Visiting Agreement last Saturday, no coeds have . been allowed in fraternity houses. The agreement was suspended by Dean of Students Fred H. Wea er two days after student govern ment on its own initiative and with out consent of the Administration said coeds could, participate in mixed drinking. Previously, under terms of the visiting pact, they had been barred from such activity. The controversy has been brew ing since April 1, when President Bob Gorham presented to the Ad ministration a statement passed by the Inter-Fraternity Council re voking parts of the Visiting Privi leges Agreement. Dr. Joffre Coe Says Bones 250 Years Old Dr. Joffre Coe, director of the University's research laboratory of anthropologyi said yesterday that the skeletons of four Indians brought here for identification were "at least 250 years old." Dr. Coe said the State Bureau of Investigation brought the skele tons to the University after they were found in a sandpit in Onslow County by a highway worker. "It was thought perhaps that they were recent. That's why the SBI was involved," Dr. Coe said. "But there were no recent disap pearances unaccounted for. wnen the SBI brought the bones here, we saw that they were quite ob viously Indians." Coed Opinion On New Rule Varied Folklorist, B. L. Lunsford, Visits Ballad Class Here Bascom Lamar Lunsford, nation ally known Buncombe County folklorist, dropped in on Dr. A. P. Hudson's English Ballads class Wednesday for an hour of banjo picking and folksong-singing.

Josselyn, NROTC Supply Officer; 'and T of President Garfield, and popular ballads, too: "The Death of Queen Jane" and "Old Joe Clark." u By Jennie Lynn "I feel that the IFC revision of the drinking agreement would have worked, and I km disap pointed that South Building didn't let it last for even a weekend," was the opinion yesterday of a coed about the action taken by the student government and the administration last week. Reactions of the coeds have been varied; some are resentful of, others sympathetic toward South Building. Many girls approve of the steps taken by IFC, while their roommates feel that the situation could have been handled in an other way. At the Kappa Delta house a coed said, "We definitely need a more suitable arrangement than the previous agreement We are adult women and should be treated as such. Supposedly we receive training at home and elsewhere that enables us to act with poise around drinking." - Nancy Edwards pointed out that by South Building's closing ; the : fraternity houses to; coeds, - the nicest places for dating were shut off. Across campus an Alderman girl approves of the former visiting agreement. "I don't like the IFC's recent action," she said, "but can't understand why the administra tion didn't declare it void instead of banning coeds from fraternity houses." A junior in the same dorm was puzzled about the situation. "I don't know about this new agree ment," she' said, "but I think it's better than the old. I'm just not sure that a girl will report her sorority sister if she sees her act ing unladylike." Carolyn Hartford, senior Alpha Delta Pi, said that she was uncer tain that the IFC went about im proving the situation in the right ; way. "It was a shot in the dark, and it lost" "Yet it's ridiculous . that . coeds ' can't be : in the presence of drink I ing,". she admitted. "South Build ing has to, face facts. Now they've ; done . worse. than before, -they are driving students to the stadium ( or Hogan's to drink." T "don't drink," said an Alpha Gamma Delta, "but it is necessary for us coeds to be on an equal level with the imports." She said that all this battle is to lessen the competition between coeds and "outsiders," but feels that we have hurt ourselves in the process that we took. A freshman in Smith Dorm said that to her the IFC's new agree ment was the only answer. "I went to a fraternity house the night after we wers told about it. Ev eryone was acting very calm, no one was going insane over the new rule. If it had been carried through, it would have worked fine," she added. The same opinion was shown at the Pi Beta Phi house. Two coeds said that they thought the new agreement would have worked successfully. . "After all the talks and discussions," one said, "every body was ready to be on best be havior. We ought to be able to give the IFC revisoin a try," added the Other, , "if conduct i is unladylike, it should be reported." Says Solution To Problems Is Not Quick International Policy Can Not Be Changed Violently Ambassador "There is no quick solution to big problems in international af fairs," British Ambassador Sir Roger Makins said in a speech in Hill Hall last night The ambassador, who spoke on "The Function of . Diplomacy in the Modern World," pointed out that the foreign policy of a coun try is dictated by a number of rath er fundamental things "by geog raphy, by resources, by the char acter of a people." "It is not something," he said, "which can be suddenly or violent ly changed.' This, is because con siderations of the national interest, of what is possible and what is desirable, do not alter except slow ly. There may be a change of pace, there may be a complete reversal of policy on secondary matters; but on the fundamentals, no. You cannot have new foreign policy every six months." Relations between states and peoples, the ambassador went on, also are controlled by similar fun damental factors, including the in fluences of history. "The tensions or friendships (See MAKINS, page 4) Talk Settlement Before War, Says Makins "It is much better to talk about settlement than to talk about war," mild-spoken Sir Rodger Makins, British ambassador to the United States, said last night. Makins made his statements in answer to a question about the effectiveness of big power peace conferences. He said that getting action from conferences was "a question of inexhaustible patience." 'In the past few years," Makins added, "the general atmosphere of the world has been rather less tense than in 1949 and 1950." A member of tne audience asked Makins view of trade with Red China, and the ambassador de clared: "There is an area of trade in goods that are not strategic which can and should be developed with Red China." Trade with that cemmunist country, Makins said, is valuable "not only for economic reasons, but for political reasons." He pointed out that about three fourths of China's trade comes by land, rather than- sea.. "The area of permitted trade can be larger. It can help the free world and can be done without harm to our collective security." The British ambassador, who rec ommended "firmness, yet polite ness" for diplomats, displayed just that as he declined to answer sev eral of the audience's questions. Asked what the attitude of the British diplomatic corps towards Sen. Joseph McCarthy (R-Wisc.) was, Makins chuckled and said, "Fortunately, I cannot speak for my corps." Another audience member asked for "a typical British joke," and Makins, smiling broadly, said, "I'm afraid that would take too long." Asked by someone else whether he would "care to comment" on remarks in the British press that Dulles' - remarks on Indo-China were ; "untimely," Makins said. "No, I would not care to comment" r 1 i If r
