LVII NO. 62 CHAPEL HILL, NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1954 Offices In Graham Memorial FOUR PAGES TODAY Committee Advises Late Rush President Creasy Praises Report On Fraternities Student body President Tom Creasy yesterday gave high praise to the special com mittee on fraternity rushing which he appointed last spring PC the request of the student legislature. The report, re ceived by Creasy this week, recommends that fraternity; rushing be delayed until the "sixth or eighth week of the first semester." Presently, ru shiner starts a round the second or,third week of school in the first semester. Said Creasy, "I appointed the rushing committee last spring made up of executive officers in student government, legislative of ficials and faculty and administra tive officials in the University to study the whole area of fraternity rushing. "They met for three months and studied carefully our rushing sys tem and many other systems all over the country. After three months of debate and discussion on the problem they turned over to me a formal request which in eludes suggestions which they be- lieve would better the system here at Carolina. "I plan to turn this report over to the Inter-Fraternity Council for their consideration and action on any parts as they see fit. : "The committee did an excellent job and has made very, good rec ommendations. I hope that many of these will be carried out by the IFC." COMMITTEE The committee ' was comprised of Ed V. McCurry Jr., chairman: Roy Holsten, administration; Ger ald Barrett, ' faculty; Gil Ragland, Bob Young. Myron Conklin. Legislature; Jack Steven?:. IFC. Art Newcome and Ray White, ex ecutive. The report is as follows: The problem of scheduling fra ternity rushing at a time which avoids conflict with other Univer sity activities and interests is not new. It has been the concern of students, faculty members, admin istrators, alumni, parents and na tional interfraternity groups for more years than they would care to remember. While colleees and universities have experimented with a variety of programs, few have found a permanent solution which: satisfies all of the require ments of their - respective cam puses. The only fact upon which everyone seems to agree is that the problem is complex and the unique qualities of each campus should be considered in arriving at an intelligent and workable policy.

And the prices of said weed are as varied as the many stores, service stat ions and confectionaries that sell it. Graham Memorial sells cigar ettes for 20c.

The case to the tried involves the fight that took place between Louis Krarr, associate editor and columnist for The Daily Tar Heel, and Dave Reid, Student Party leg islator, over a UNC coed, Miss Connie McMahon, in Y-Court on the fourth of November.

They are, however, lower than prices set by a few town district dealers. Prices of regular size cigarettes and some king size brands Em bassy, Pall Mall, Herbert" Tareton Cork Tip, Raleigh and. Chester field - are 21c. Other king sizes, such as Philip MorrU, Kool and Old Gold, sell for 22c. All filtered tips sell for 23c at the University's stores, except for Kents, which have a sale price of 28c. The University Service Station does not have a vending machine but sells all regular size cigarettes for 21c, all king size for 22c and all filtered tips for 24c. The reason given for having all inclusive pr ices is that it is simplier in the operaton of a gas station.

All of Spero's cigarettes sell for 23c. , It is a fact that some chain drug stores such " as Liggetts and Wal green's sell cigarettes at cost or even below cost. This policy, say officials, is a means of getting cusomers to remain permanent customers and to increase chances that customers will buy other art icles while in the store.

Emilia Hodel in a. review of "Three For Tonight" in The San Francisco News said, "The Cham pions are our top dance team. Marge especially has great charm and humor and an expressive face to make these come alive. Mr. Belafonte is known to television audiences and probably to the night-club circuit. He is an excit ing new theatre personality. 'Three For Tonight is so per fect a 'concert' that it seems as if you were watching the twentieth 'take' of a technicolor musical, the one the director orders 'print.' "It is a distinguished musical revue. But we'll wager it has Producer Gregory baffled. In his other successes he has been able to recast with new artists. But these 'three can't be substituted. They are individual and great." Aid Drive Deadline Dec. 20 "This project copes with a de- finite need in this county," said Dean Katherine Carmichael ab out the Empty Stocking Fund. "Without the results of this program, some families would , have no evidence whatever of the" Christmas season. The Chr istmas basket, provided through the Empty Stocking Fund, will bring ' to those families a mani festation of the Christmas sp irit; Organizations and individ uals in the University . will do well to make contributions to this worthy project," continued Dean Carmichael. All cases of needy people in the county are taken from the Welfare records, as well as those cases referred by any citi zen ; in the county. Letters are sent to these cases which ex plain the Fund. Along with the letters, the cases receive a form which asks for information ab out the family, its size, the ages and sex of the children, their particular needs and directions for finding their home. If the cases wish to receive a Christ mas basket, they are requested by The Junior Service League to fill out the form and return it. The deadline for ref errals-that is notifying the Junior Service League of needy people has been set by the League as Dec. 8. Dec. 20 has been set as the deadline for all' adoptions.

Fifty of these have been adopted. Money contributions should be ient-either The Chapel Hill . News-Leader or The Chapel Hill Weekly.' '.. With the cash contri butions, the League will make up and deliver baskets for the families who are not adopted. AFROTC Has No Mixup, Say Officials According to TSgt. B. F. Rid dle, non-commissioned officer in charge of cadet records, there has been no misunderstanding among the cadets concerning the length of the tour of duty expected from the graduates of " the Air Force Training Corps program here. Some colleges and universities where the AFROTC program is in operation have released contra dictory statements concerning the lengthening of the enlistment for those cadets who finish basic fly ing school and continue in ad vanced pilot training. According to a recent issue of The Air Force Times, air force trainees wishing to become "hard core, first line" pilots will have to sign a new four year active duty contract. Otherwise, graduates of basic pilot school will not get ad vanced flying training and can expect to serve in ground-type and non-operational flying jobs for the duration of their short terms. The new arrangement begins with cadets who are already in flight training and graduate in January. Men in this and subsequ ent classes will be asked to sign a four contract instead of the origin al three year contract. If they agree, .after they finish regular flight training they will enter ad vanced courses to become skilled in jet aircraft and assume cockpit jobs. Basic graduates declining to sign will remain on flying status but will take whatever duty that might be available. The Air Force has been putting all basic pilot graduates into ad vanced flying. It has been a costly operation because many advanced graduates under the three year contract have only one year's act ive service retainability. Under the new contract arrangement, the Air Force can count on their services for at least three years. H n or ton Doyle Hits Reds MIAMI, Fla. (AP) Rep. Clyde Doyle (D-Cal.), a member of the House Un-American Activities Co mmittee, said at current hearings here he -would ask the next Con gress for' legislation to make sure that no person who hides behind the Fifth Amendment ever profits from government work. Doyle made the statement ' after a Miami contractor, PolishJborn Max Shlafrock, refused to tell the committee whether he was or ever had been a Communist, on grounds his answers might incriminate him. Under questioning by Doyle, Shlafrock said he got some gov ernment building contracts dur ing the war, including one for work on an army recruiting sta tion in Miami. Ex-Commie Long Once Wrote On Red Behalf Ralph Long, former UNC stu dent and now a self-confessed ex communist, once wrote a series of newspaper articles on the prin ciples of communism. Long, presently being question ed by the House Un-American Activities Committee in Miami, Fla., this week revealed that he attended communist cell meetings while enrolled here.. The meetings were heid to promote interest in the party among students and fac ulty, Long testified. ' 1 i Long's articles, which appeared in The Durham Sun, appealed to 'Jazz's Got To Swing:' Herman l -"The 'spirit of jazz is" abandon. When you present it too grimly serious you lose naturalness.'

Any time you weaken j hat, you lose. "The first thing in jazz is to :wing. And if you don't swing you re not in the jazz field.

Ralph Long, a self-confessed former Red . from Durham, N. C.,l who followed Hirsch to the stand,! f-aid Hirsch was a dues-paying,. Party member at the University; of North Carolina.

Slanted toward col legiate readers, the stories asked that citizens consider the best in terests of America. The articles were written . while Long was a student here. Long entered UNC in the sum mer of 1946 and was graduated in the spring of 1951. He told the committee this week that he was a member of the Communist Party from 1946-48. Long majored in English while he was here. Tarnation Meeting There will be a meeting of the Tarnation staff this afternoon at 4 o'clock in the Tarnation of fice, according to Rueben Leon ard, editor.

He asked that . all persons who would like to submit mater ial bring it in as soon as pos sible. The Heavens V r'- I i Word TITS Ex-Prexy Says He Signed It By DICK CREED Ham Hortcn, former pre sident of the student body, yesterday spiked a rumor that he is the ramrod behind the petition recently circulated by a group of students urging the Governor to maintain separ ate schools for whites and lTe groes in North Carol inn1. Said. Horton, "I signed the paragraph of the petition relat ing to states rights, but I can't take credit for either starting or spreading the petition." The rumor that Horton, a se cond year law student here, wrote and promoted the petition has been making the rounds of stu dent activities offices in Graham Memorial for the past few days. The petition is made up of two paragraphs, the first of which Horton says he signed. That para graph is a protest against the Su preme Court's abrogation" of the principle of states rights as "guaranteed by the Constitution." The second paragraph, which Horton says he didn't sign, urges the Governor to use whatever le gal power he possesses to main tain separate school systems in North Carolina. Horton had "no comment" as to why he did not sign the second paragraph. About signing the first paragraph, he said, "I would do it again." It is not yet known who is be hind . writing and circulating the petition. Ray Barbree, a sopho more,, who , was soliciting signa tures for a copy of the petition in lower quad last week, said that it was put together by a "bunch of interested students" and that "some boys in the law school helped write it." He indicated last week that he knew some of the people who were behind it,' but declined to say who they were. Horton said he was approached by a student bearing a copy of the petition, and that the student asked him to promote and help circulate it. "I told him I wouldn't do it be cause I don't think graduate stu dents should take an active part in campus , affairs," said Horton. Horton and others have specu lated that the petition arose out of the "feling among some stu nts" that the editorial stand against segregation taken by The Daily Tar Heel is "not represen tative of the opinions of the ma jority of students." It has been suggested also that the students behind the petition are waiting until there is a signifi cant number of signatures before they release it to the campus and state presses.
