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.

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 Doughton of Alleghany, chairman i of the Houae Appropriations Com mittee, the vital budget bill went through the lower chamber exact ly as approved by. the Joint Ap propriations subcommittee.

Travel, reduced by $265,000. ; 3. Salary increments for em ployes not under the State . Per sonnel Act, reduced by $470,000. 0. State-supported colleges, re duced by $872,000, the funds to be replaced by increased tuition re ceipts from all nop-resident stu dents, and from resident students at some of the smaller schools. ; Here -are some -other highlights pf the bill: Doughton pointed out the ap propriation for public schools will total 18 million dollars more dur ing the coming biennium than durin? the two fiscal years end ing this June 30. Most of this will go into provid ing 1,050 new teachers and . 41 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 creases. To support the nine months school term alone during 1955-5b' will cost the. state $123,718,752 and during the following year $126,986,046.

Show 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.
