The film is the 1926 product- ion "Son of the Sheik." Its star is Rudolph Valentino. A sequel to "The Sheik," which established Valentino as one of the most popular matinee idols of his day, tonight's movie at tempted to recapture the glamour of the earlier picture. Though not as successful, the importance of "Son of the Sheik" lies in the fact that it was Valentino's last film. A few weeks after its release, the star died unexpectedly, following an emergency operation. Valentino's death was an occa sion of nation-wide mourning a mong his female admirers. Than ks to a skillful press agent, his funeral attracted world-wide at tention. Newspapers were sup plied , with, photographs which were distributed in advance of the chamber where the actor's bo dy would lie in state. Posed shots ot the cortege appeared in many newspapers an hour before the funeral began. The actual services in New York caused a riot. Scores of peo- i pel were injured, and Campbell's Funeral Parlor, where the body lay, was almost wrecked by hy sterical fans. Thousands of wom en gathered at stations across the country as the funeral train made its way to Los Angeles. A highlight of the burial rites was the appearance of an uniden tified woman, heavily veiled and dressed in black, who placed a single red rose on the grave and then departed as mysteriously as she had come. Legend has it that each year on the anniversary of Valentino's death she again visits his tomb to leave a rose in his memory. The actor's gravestone was paid for by a scenario writer. Its price was $600. The only other tangible evidence that the Great Lover ac tually existed stands today in a park in Hollywood. It is a small bronze monument in his honor, ! paid for by contributions from his sorrowing fans. j Co-starred with Valentino in "Son of the Sheik" is Vilma Ban ky, a Hungarian star of the silent films. The picture features Ag nes Ayres, female lead of the first "Sheik" picture. BILL'S UP BEFORE STATE Legislature to create board of higher education . . .

Usually, the retiring committee picks the celebreties who are to appear, and the in Some members of the party felt that existence' of this committee might create dissention within the party itself.

Its purpose shall be to promote cooperation in the party, and it shall be com posed of a good representation of the students of the University, they said. A discussion was held to "stim ulate interest and cooperation" in the - forthcoming elections. Rollie Tillman said "I believe that the name of the University Party surely represents to all concerned what we feel campus politics sho uld be concerned with in other words, the University as a whole; and it has long been a tradition nf nnr members to do not what , we, feel is right for a segment 'of i if-- " 4 t: i ii 1 coming committee carries out the program.

Charles Ackerman, publicity chairman, said he felt, "At pre sent the University of North Ca rolina is in a state of flux.

Ervin Gives Advice WASHINGTON, Jan. 9. C This advice of a North Carolina phi losopher was passed on to Congress today by Sen. Ervin (D-NC): "Pass no more laws, and 'peal half of them we've already got." Ervin said in a statement that nearly 5,000 bills and resolutions were proposed in the first month of the 84th Congress. Hs com mented: "The vast number of legislative proposals presented to the Con gress at eaeh session emphasizes the wisdom of my departed friend, Lum Garrison, who was M6rganton's philosopher in the days of my youth." "When I was elected at the age of 26 to represent my native county of Burke in the North Carolina Legislature, Lum Garrison came to me with tiiis advice," Sfydeot Fate Of By NEIL BASS ' The convening of the student Legislature tonight at 7:30 in the Philanthrophic Assembly Hall will mean the debate and fate of nu merous legislation, plus the fact that the session will be witness to the deliverance of President Tom Creasy 's State of the Campus address. I; The raising of legislator's hands will also determine the rectifica tion or rejection of the Interdorm itcry Council's revised bylaws, tvhich have never been approved by the solons. It is likely that the leaders of the Student Party will be the most interested in the outcome of the voting, however, because three of the SP campaign platform planks out of the original four that were proposed will be decided upon, j The University Party has sev eral bills that will be thumbed down or passed by the legislators too. One of these, a bill concern irg the choosing of candidates for the editorships of The Daily Tar Keel and the Yackety Yack, has aroused a lot of interest on he ; rart of a couple of the possible . candidates, and especially on the part of the SP. II is rumored that the SP solons will vigorously op j pese the . measure for what Dave Reid, SP floor leader called, "fear . that such a bi-partisan board cre ated for the selection of candidates would not be entirely bi-partisan " , Creasy has said, that his address will deal with "discussion of the action that I took in vetoing the University Band appropriations bill; discussion of the action that I took in appearing before the Faculty Council to appeal 'the nieasure taken by the. University with regard to the limitation of class cuts; and discussion of possi ble opposition to the fee raise that is being proposed by the state Legislature." - . The message, according . tc Creasyr will also deal with 'the' general gist of things that student government is working on." "Satchmo" will be whooping it up in Memorial Hall tonight, but it is likely that th legislative ses sion will be just as full of sur prises. Morehead Art Gallery Shows Bible Lithos ice Saunders of Chapel Hill, the Morehead Art Gallery is now showing in the north exhibit room 47 lithographs by Abel Pann, btsed on the first five books of the Old Testament.

The lithographs are hand drawn cn stone, pand printed and auto graphed for Saunders, the owner. Now a resident, of the Carolina Inn here, Saunders loaned the litho,graphs to the Morehead Gal lery, because the:.- tie closely with the current Planetarium show, "Billions of Years Ago."

Surplus . . Student Party Fills Vacancies; Discusses Band Money Bill Veto The Student Party in a lengthy session Monday night elected re- presentalives to take over seats made vacant by resignations inj Dormitory Men's II, III and IV Districts. Resigning from their legislative posts were SP solons Charlie Dean, Dorm Men's II; Bill Ma ready, Dorm Men's III, and Tom my Bennett, Dorm Men's IV. Elected to replace there were: John Heath in Dorm Men's II; Ray Long in Dorm Men's HI, and Harold Downing, in Dorm Men's IV. In a report given on the proce dures of the Student Legislature, David Reid, said the bill recently passed by the solons which would have given $1,100 to the Univer sity Band if President Tom Creasy had not vetoed it was "obviously an attempt of the University Par-j ty to get in on the tail end of the apending." Reid went on to say that "UP Legislators have accus ed us (the SP) of a free-spending program. We do not deny that( ference. Dr. Graham, who has also ser ved in the United States Senate, is known all over the world. At one time, when he was mediating demilitarization of Kashmir, the Russians called him a "secret a gent of the United States." At other times Kremlin headquarters has referred to him as "Secret agent of Wall Street" and other similar titles. The Fayetteville Observer pri nted an editorial some time ago, pointing to what Dr. Graham did in Indonesia: "Hundreds of thou sands of people are living today who quite possibly would be dead were it not for Dr. Graham's qui et, human understanding and tact, his deep grasp of global his torical trends, his complete ab horrence of power politics." At today's fifth annual' confer ence many internationally-known leaders will deliver addresses. we have dug into the appropria tions surplus, but while we have spent a good deal of money, we were only putting to tangible use the money which had been lying idle for nigh on 10 years without benefiting the student body. "The bill was very inopportune, but the band is a highly deserving group and I sincerely hope that something can be worked out for their benefit at a later date," the SP floor leader said. Concerning the economy mea sures that the student Legislature has taken, such as the placing of The Daily Tar Heel 0n a five-day week, Reid said "I hope and I'm sure the party hopes that The Daily Tar Heel can soon resume its six-day week, but I do not note the student body holding its bre ath with anticipation." Amy Cook, SP Advisory Board chairman, called for action of the party on "several pressing is sues." Some of these were the e lection of a person "to round up Charity Tonight By MORT COOPER Tonight Louis Armstrong and his All-Stars will give a polio benefit concert in Memorial Hat' to one of his most appreciative audiences, namely the Chapei Hill Jazz Club, composed uf col lege students, faculty members and townspeople. "No mort tickets are avail able"' to th Louis Armstrong concert to be held tonight at 8 o'clock in Memorial Hall, said R. B. Fitch, president of ATO, last night. Those attending the concert will see one of the" greatest jaz2 musicians of all time in action Armstrong wiP give out with some of the strongest and io.?t beautiful jazz trumpet, and somi of his famous "scat singing" during the concert. There wii' be the serious Armstrong play ing singing such haunting tunes as "Black and Blue": there wiu a the joking, Jaughnig Arm strong as he plays the role of the entertainer, sinking and just horsing around; and there wit; be the true New Orleans Arm strong, playing such old jazz favorites as "Tiger Rag," "When the Saints Go Marching In" and "Muskat Ramble." Armstrong will certainly b the feature ?ltraction during this soiree of jazz, but his All Stars that back him up are nol to be underrated. The All-Stai are probably the finest aggrega tion that old Satchmo has played with since his stints with King Oliver, 30 years ago in Chi cago. On the clarinet, Armstrong features Barney Bigard, who js steeped in the New Orleans tra dition, and who has played with King Oliver and Duke Elling ton. He has been with Arm strong since the late 40s. Trum my Young, famed for his power ful "gut bucket" technique, is the trombonist. Formerly Young played with Coleman Hawkins and the Benny Goodman band The pianist is Billy Kyle, a fine jazz musician, who has even played on the legitimate stage ir the Broadway musical show. "Guys and Dolls." Arvell Shaw is the bass play er who has studied classical work in Europe and is perhaps the most musically talented of the group, outside of Armstrong. On the drums is an up-and-coming young drummer named Barret Deems. His playing witn the All-Stars marks his firsi jump into bigtime jazz. j the SP legislators before legisla ! five sessions and the publication of a weekly column caressing the party's views in The Daily Tar Heel."
