Two Measures Face
Student Legislature
By NEIL BASS
i-The student Legislature will
probably face a light docket to
night at its 7:30 meeting.
There are only two measures
officially slated to be debated, but
several others may be brought out
at the session.
The measures which may or
may not be brought to' a vote are
resolutions that were introduced
two sessions ago but were either
referred to special committees or
lield in the Ways and Means Com
mittee last week.
The ,two measures officially
slated to be brought out at the
meeting, promise to arouse little
dickering among the body.
One of these, a , bill providing
for selection of the new' student
government executive secretary,
is almost certain to be immediate
ly passed. .
Introduced by Tom Lambeth
Student Party), the bill asks that
the hiring authority be delegated
to a committee of three appointed
by the student body president. It
also makes the secretary "re
sponsible" to the president.
The other measure officially
supposed to be voted on is likely
-Harper Recital
Hill Hall
Since coming to Chapel Hill, he
has been a member of the Men's
Glee Club, has served as ac
companist for Music Department
programs, and has appeared in
student recitals and on WUNC
TV. MISS HARPER
Miss Harper, who is studying
with Prof. Joel Carter, will be
accompanied in her recital by
Sandy Peake, Chapel Hill. .She will
present a group of .songs in
French by Delibes, Pierne, Faure,
Gounod; and a group in English
by Head, Grieg, Carpenter and
Beach .
She previously was a student
at Stratford Junior College, where
she studied both voice and piano.
She entered UNC in February.
to be shoved through without i
trace of opposition.
It asks that the student bod;
treasurer be made chairman o
the student audit board. This in
volves a constitutional change i
the Legislature passes it.
There are several other meas
ures that may get a nod from th'
University Party-run Legislature
but this depends on the decisior
of the Ways and Means Commit
tee. Last week the Committee go'
several resolutions that it callec
too "abstractal" to even merit leg
islative time. They were intro
duced by Jack Hudson (SP).
They called for, among othc
things, "greater cooperation be
tween the three branches of tin
University," and the establishmen'
of a "reading" day prior, to exair
periods.
So the committee either, re
ferred these to special committee.'
for further "investigation," or it
laid them on the shelf, with thr
Legislature's permission.
- If the Ways and Means Commit
tee puts these "measures on thr
floor tonight, the session will un-
doubtedly be more extended.

Jurgensen
Tells Of
Injustices
To Ibsen
By LOIS OWEN
"Ibsei is blamed for the short
comings of his translators. This
is the basic crime against him,"
said Prof. Kai Jurgensen, of the
Dramatic Art Dept., in his Hu
manities Lecture, "Crimes Against
Ibsen,' delivered last night in
Carroll Hall.
Mentioning the difficulty in
volved in translating literature,
Jurgensen cited examples of what
he considers to be inaccurate, ob
scure translations of Ibsen's plays.
Jurgensen referred to the
abundant criticism Ibsen's plays
have suffered - obscurity, unplay
able dialogue, unfit subject and
asked why his plays have not died.
He said ' an intellectual croup has
considered lDsen as a pnuosopner,
sociologist, moralist and not as a
dramatist.
Jurgensen pointed out that Ib
sen was not a man of letters and
did not want to be. He spoke of
him as "the essentially ignorant
provincial he remained all his
life." But, Jurgensen said, he had
lots of horse sense.
"Ibsen is a theatreman's the
atreman." Jurgensen commented.
He said it was actors and direc
tors who could not resist the Ib
sen challenge, who revived his
plays.
"Only when actors equal to him
act his plays, only then does he
come alive. And it's , a crime to
judge him any other way."
University
Gets Boost
UNC's FM radio station is
now operating at increased
power.
WUNC has received authority
from the Federal Communica
tion Commission to operate at
an effective radiated power of
15,500 watts, and the installa
tion of the necessary equipment
is almost complete.
During an interim period,
WUNC is operating at an ef
fective radiated power of 5,760
watts about four times the
former power, but less than the
full authorized power.
WUNC's increase in strength
was made ..possible by the gift
to the University of a 10 kilo
watt transmitter by the Jeffer
son Standard Broadcasting Com
pany of Charlotte. The equip
ment which formerly broad
cast the signal of WBT-FM in
Charlotte was moved to Chapel
Hill and has been installed in
the Swain Hall transmitting
room of . the Communication
Center. The installation was
made without additional finan
cial assistance from the Univer
sity. Robert Dever, senior engineer
on the WUNC transmitter staff,
said an additional electrical in
stallation will .be necessary be
fore the station can operate at
the full authorized power of
15,500 watts. Funds for this
additional installation are not
now available and no estimate
could be made by station per

pf the bill:
Doughton pointed out the ap
propriation for public schools will
total 18 million dollars more dur
ing the coming biennium than

principals during the next fiscal
year, and 1.015 new teachers and
43 more principals the following
year, plus three million dollars for
continuing salary increment in

Wagner
Addresses
Students
On NYC
By DELAINE BRADSHER
The Mayor of New York City,
Robert Wagner, spoke here last
night on municipal government
and its connection with the larg
est city in the United States.
Jim Wallace, director of Gra
ham Memorial, introduced the
youngest man ever to be mayor
of the big city. Mayor Wagner
was sponsored by the Carolina
Forum.
The Democratic mayor told the
group he had "just emerged from
the little matter of the New York
City budget of almost one billion,
eight hundred million dollars and
that has come after a four-month
running battle with a Republican
state legislature."
The son of the author of the
famous Wagner Act said, "A
school with your tradition and
your liberal reputation, a school
which has been for over a century
the outstanding exponent of the
virtues of the honor system, can
not fail to impress visitors, even
from New York."
Mayor Wagner called the city
of New York "a city of minori
ties"' We 'have in" New York City
a cosmopolitan population con
sisting of people of every religion,
every color and cvry national ori
gin on the face of the earth," he
said.
"When I assumed the office of
mayor, I had determined that the
best government could be furnish
ed only by obtaining the best pos
sible talent," he said.
Continuing, he said, "It has al
so been my philosophy that no
governmental system that has been
in operation .is perfect, and that
every governmental institution
needs modernization and recast
ing at periodic intervals."
On juvenile delinquency, the
mayor said, "It was and is my view
that enough has been written and
enough has been studied of this
question over the years to war
rant a time for action, and it is
my purpose to proceed with act
ion in order that New York City
may see some light in this dark
area."
Mayor Wagner concluded his
speech by saying, "No other city
so typifies America and true dem
ocracy. All races, all religions,
all creeds are represented in and
occupy high positions in our
government.
"Ours . is truly a government
of the people, by the people and
for the people," he concluded.
In answer to a question , on
racial friction in New York City
the mayor said, "Whe have little
racial friction at this point."
Scales Appeal
Given To
Supreme Court
WASHINGTON, May 4.
Junius I. Scales, Carolinas lead
er for the Communist Party, to
day" asked the Supreme Court to
free him on bail while he ap
peals his Smith Act conviction.
' His request will be submitted
to Chief Justice Warren, prob
ably next week.
Scales, 34-year-old grand
nephew of a former North Car
olina governor, was sentenced
in Federal Court in Greensboro

prisonment. He was convicted
of advocating overthrow of the
federal government by force
and violence, in violation of the
Smith Act.
