Sophomores and all law students will be photographed Sept. 24, 27 entist By CHARLES CHILDS . UNC, September, 1965: "The growing shortage of scientists reached its critical point this month when only 50 per cent of the freshmen stu dents were able to be assigned to already crowded science courses." This lead might appear to be far-fetched since it predicts a situation in the next decade. Far fetched as it may seem, this condition may actually come a bout if the present trend is continued. The shortage of scientists is acute. A report by the Engineer ing Manpower Commission said "there is a shortage of 33-40,-000 engineers and the shortage is increasing." Even in the field of medicine, which some peo ple think is overcrowded, there is also a trying deficiency of qualified students. Dr. William N. Hilliard of the Medical So ciety of North Carolina report ed that "in 1952-53 there was a decrease in applications for admission to medical schools over 1949-50." The U. S. will find its high school enrollment nearly doubl ed by 1965, whereas its poten tial mathematics teachers will be down 41 per cent. Science Franz Polgar Here Tonight t i - 7 4 .

All Masters of Business Admini stration candidates are invited to attend. The meeting will be devoted to a discussion of the club, its aims and activities. Dr. C. H. McGregor, ad visor to MBA candidates, will be the principal speaker. Frosh Photos and 30 (Friday, Mon., Thursday). Juniors and grad students are sche duled for the following week with seniors beginning Oct. 8. Students are urged to have their pictures made on time. There will k 0viMn f i;noc freshmen and sophomores, and a charge will be made for any pic tures made in other than schedul ed times. Science At UNC Shorten teachers as a whole will be down 48 per cent. Our state's high school enroll ment by 1965 will be half again what it is today. This increase will place a strain on all the teachers, because there will be a constant demand for 250 sci ence teachers per year. What will be the effects if our colmtry does not solve this growing problem? There will . probably be a lower standard of health if the population in creases more than the supply of doctors. New drugs, hitherto unknown, will assist in the preservation of health and save doctors many hours, but there still remains a constant need for drug research. Already cer tain bacteria and viruses are becoming "immune" to some new drugs, and it is possible that the "miracle drugs" of to day will not perform as effici ently tomorrow. Another consequence of an in crease in the shortage of scien tists will be that it will tend tc even further the shortage. If we find industry attracting scientists and if the competition of scien tists becomes keener than it is t'v day, then we should expect to find that many prospective sci entists who enter college will 'f - dent Party and its members. A brief progam will be given during which several leaders of the party will explain the par ty's tradition, record and placf for new members. The program will be followed by refreshments and a get-acquainted session in the Rendezvous Room. All interested students, old and new, and those interested in toe coming members are invited. Last year the Student Party won overwhelming control of the student Legislature. Its 38-12 ma jority is the largest ever attain ed by a campus political party. . The Student Party chairman this year is Joel Fleishman. Student Party The Student Party will hold its first meeting of the Fall Semester Monday night at 8:30 in the Rolnad Parker Laungs of Graham Memori- al. The meeting will otter a special introduction to the party for new comers to the Uinversity and to the party. All interested students are invited. lack certain basic knowledge and skill. Things which they should have learned in high school will be left to the col lege, thereby throwing more weight on the college staff.. Many national professional organizations are attempting to warn of the danger facing our country's scientific program. These organizations are spon soring research grants, high school contests and ecSence fairs. All of these are to pro mote public interest in solving the problem. In our state we find that the North Carolina Academy of Science has adopted a new pro gram aimed at helping to re lieve the scientist shortage. The Academy has plans to sponsor regional science fairs and a State Science Fair. Additional activities already include essay contests and an undergraduate organization entitled the North Carolina Collegiate Aademy of Science. The shortage of scientists is critical, and it will effect ev ery part of our life from cloth ing to airplanes. Programs of national and state science or ganizations mark a sincere step to inform the public of the shortage and how it can be overcome. qe Acute W SEEN : TV instructor John Ehle cas ually lighting up a long Wins ton during lecture in Hanes Hall.

( o Television WORKMAN on the "tag line" 83-foot antenna away from its base erected atop Tereli's Mountain at Larkins Tells Young Democrats They Should Elect Delegation CHARLOTTE, Sept. 17 UPt The State Democratic chairman told North Carolina's Young Democrats today that the election of a solid Democratic Congressional delegation is "our first order of business." Speaking in Charlotte, which threw its vote to Republican Rep. Charles R. Jonas in 1952. State Rep. John D. Larkins Jr. attack- ed the Eisenhower Administra tion. He said that because of "its own disunity" it is unable "to get things done." Most o fLafki-ns address dealt vith the depression of the 1930s and - with what he termed Re publican failures. He reviewed his own party's history claiming that it is the friend of the farmer upon whom is based the prosper ity of both business and labor. But at the end he turned his at tention to the 9th and 10th Con gressional Districts where the two parties are staging their most bitterly contested races this fall. Jonas is opposed by Char lotte City Judge J. C. Sedberry and Rep. Hugh Q. Alexander of Kannapolis is challenged by Re publican William E. Stevens Jr. of Lenoir in the 9th District. Avoiding personal criticism of Jonas, Larkins said that the "pro gress and prosperity" that has come to the state under the Dem ocrats justifies the election of an all-Democratic congressional del egation. "No matter now fine an in dividual that person might be, he represents Republican policies," Larkins declared. "And there are enough Democrats capable of giving us fine representation in Congress who are entitled to our support in the 9th and 10th Dis tricts who must be elected in November. He urged the Young Democrats to "get the Democrats to the polls" and "let's not have any more Republican victories by de fault. The Democratic party is a militant, fighting party. It' wins by doing more for the people than , the Republicans are willing to do and then we expect our people to show their appreciation of good sound government by go ing to the polls and voting." Students ae urged to attend the preliminary judging on Sunday. Final competition for the title will take place on next Saturday in Gerrard Hall. Judges for this closed contest will be Kay Ky ser, Georgia Carol Kyser and Thad Eure, N. C. secretary of state. Eure will also crown the queen. The Order of the Grail will sponsor a dance from 8:30 to 11:30 p. m. next Saturday with Jimmy Johnson and his orches tra furnishing the music. The dance will be semi-formal and students are reminded to get their dates early. Chairman of the Consolidated University Student Council is Max Crohn. .

Playmakers Set '54 Slate The Carolina Playmakers this week announced the opening of their 37th season of play produc tion. The 'first show this year will be "The Crucible," by Ar thur Miller, to be presented in the Playmakers Theatre October 13, -14, 15, 16 and 17. Following "The Crucible" will oe iarkemng bhore, a new play by Kermit Hunter; "Arsenic and Old Lace;" "Show Boat;' a new full-length experimental play, and "Julius Caesar," in the Forest Theatre. "Show Boat," the musical se lection of the year, will have its University theater premiere on the North Carolina campus. This play has never before been done by a college group and was re leased to the Playmakers because of the fine reputation of former work done by this organization. The Carolina Playmakers are also sponsoring two outside at tractions. The first of these will be "Three For Tonight," starring Marge and Gower Champion, Har ry Belafonte and the voices of Walter Schumann, and orchestra. The second is "The Caine Mutiny Court Martial" with Paul Doug las, Wendell Corey and Steve Brodie, directed by Charles La ugh ton. Bennett Says UNC Dorms Are Greatly Improved This Year "There has been more dorm im j Asphalt flooring designed to provement this year at Carolina cut down noise, make the rooms than during any other of my 35 years here," said J. S. Bennett, di rector of operations, yesterday. Bennett had only from June 10 to September 10 to push through UNC's most extensive dorm im provement plan, which ,includes better bathroom facilities and the putting down of new floors. Old bathroom facilities have been done over and modernized. All improved facilities are now in use except for the first floor of Steele. First floor Steele occupants will be rewarded for their patience when the new bathrooms, whirh Bennett v says will make the old ones look like an outdoor privy, are completed. Vance-Battle-Pettigrew, Old East and Old West bath rooms are com pletely done over. Steele has new fixtures on the second and third floors, in addition to the complete ly new first floor. Mixed water valves were put in several dorms, which Bennett says will keep students from alternate ly freezing and burning to death. cennDGG WUNC-TV moved nearer to ho ng yesterday with the erection of the antenna in Chatham county and he hammering of workmen in 5wain Hall here on the Campus. "We've only scratched the .sur face as far as installation is con cerned," said Alan Mclntyre, chief engineer for Consolidated Univer sity Television. But all the plans are in, he said, and the station should begin operations by Christ mas as expected. The 83-foot antenna was fixed in place atop the tower on Terrell's Mountain at 12:55 p.m. after an unsuccessful attempt to hoist it up Thursday. (The construction crew took an hour to raise the antenna to the top of the 798-foot tower. The an tenna weighs 10,000 pounds. The crew failed to attach the antenna when the hoisting winch failed. Terrell's Mountain is 8 miles southwest of Chapel Hill beyond University Lake. The tower can be seen from Pittsboro. Swain Hall was a shambles yes terday as workmen continued the extensive renovation begun in July. The ground floor partitions and fix tures have been removed com pletely and plans are to use that floor for television and moving pic ture studios. The Communication Center will occupy the hasement and the upstairs portion of the building. Meanwhile State College at Raleigh and Woman's College in Grensboro continued work on in stallations for productions on Con solidated University Television. At Woman's College the old laundry building is being rebuilt to house studios. A new building is being constructed at State. Both buildings should be completed within a month, said Mclntyre. All three stations kill transmit Mountain. Fleishman Named To NSA Office The election of senior Joel E. Fleishman as chairman of the Virginia-Carolina region of the U. S. National Student Association was announced yesterday in Ames, la. A senior in modern European history here, Fleishman represent ed his college as a delegate to the association's seventh national con gress. As NSA regional chairman, he will be responsible for coordinating the activities of member schools in his area and seeking new affilia tions among no-member campuses. The NSA represents more than 800,000 American college students through their campus govermonts. World's largest democratic student federation, its membership in cludes more than 300 accredited schools and universities through out the U. S. more attractive and easier to cle.'in have been put in the upper quad rooms. The lower quad basements which were shower rooms have been turn ed into game and vending machine rooms. Rubber tile has ben laid in the hallways and stairways of the up per and lower quads. This type of floor has been used in the Library for thirty-two years with out change. Vending machines have been taken out of the halls and social rooms whenever possible. Several dorm rooms have been turned over to the vending machine companies. Acoustical ceilings have been put in the lower quad social rooms. Bennett asked for student co operation in keping the dorms in their present condition. He saici he doesn't want another parent telling him, after Cobb's first year of occupancy, that it is the most abused public building they have ever seen. .
