H(T)IWin)rn ft t SERIALS Pyshec Westward; And Pose f psn rr &n Compiled by Th From Short Wave The Middle East situation as It appeared Egypt had lost everything east of the Suez Canal, with the exception of a few suicide commandos. Danger of a prolonged war increased as Syrian troops were reported crossing the border southward into Jordan. Other re ports from Tel Aviv, also unconfirmed, said Iraq troops also had crossed the border into Jordan. From London, analysts said the British and French forces in the Middle East wanted to convert the heretofore Anglo-French-Israeli campaign into a United Nations "police action." It appeared early this morning that British, French and Israeli forces will have the Suez Canal under control within a few days.

Daily Tar Kl and Radio Reports of midnight: Complete (VP) Wire Service Is Faculty action on the new regulation until its December meeting. It will meet again on the first, Thursday in December. Godfrey re fused to say whether or not he felt the newly proposed regulation would be dealt with favorably. "The committee's report on the new regulation is still executive," he said. ' ' i A special cpmmittee established J by the council brought the new ( regulation before the entire coun cil for deliberation. The committee, headed by Dr. Hugh Holman of the English Dept. had previously listened to sugges tions offered by a student government-appointed committee. COUNCIL HEAD Dr. Godfrey, Faculty Council pre siding officer, refused to comment upon the nature of the newly pro posed regulation or- upon the re sponse . which the counciL offered to it. The council was very much in terested in the proposal and gave it serious consideration." " Apparently, however, the repu ted class attendance liberalization was somewhat controversial. The council discussed it for one hour and took no action whatsoever. COMMITTEE FAVORS According to Tom Lambeth, member of the student government committee which proposed recom mendations to the faculty com mittee, the committee favors the reputed liberlization. Unofficial sources reported that the new proposal Js practically, a replica of the old "tinlimited cuts?' regulation which was in eff eel iiri- j til the spring of 1955,. .'. ;;' "i Under! this regulation, students were li-nited in cuts only by the professors under whom they had classes. Professors used their own discretion in limiting cuts. The new regulation which went into effect in the spring of 1955 allowed only three cuts per class. The only exception to this rule, un der which the Univerity is now operating, is for students on the Dean's List. (Such students may j cui zo per cent ot their classes in any particular course.

Robert Carrswell, in the WUNC control booth, puts the finishing touches on a program of classical music, one of the daiiy presentations of the FM station which today-celebrates its birthday. The station has ueen many advancements since its modest birth in r952. - WUNC-FM Celebrates Fourth Birthday Today By GORDON PAYNE Today, one of UNC's latest ven tures in education celebrates its birthday. The celebration marks the successful operation of the education broadcasting station, WUNC. Just four years ago, the FM station made its debut broadcast ing from the UNC campus. Since its birth, the station has iftade constant progress, a progress which has moved WUNC to a prominent place in the area it serves. In 1949, the Communications Center of UNC, of which WUNC is a part, purchased a 1,450 watt FM transmitter. The Station was licensed to the University by the Federal Communications Com mission to operate on 91.5 mega cycles as a non-commercial, edu cational station. And so wasthe modest beginning. Personnel for the project, with the exception of station manager John Young, were all students. There was no budget set aside for the station by ,the Universtiy, so time and efforts were contribu tions rather than paid services. Pledged ' to public service and the exhibition of the resources of UNC. WUNC began a daily broad cast from 7 to 10 p.m. with news, music and a few dramatic pro ductions. The music came from personal records and those donated to , the station library: the " news came from the news bureaus of UNC. Duke and WCUNC; dramat i Tf"t net ions were native to the campus. in 1953 WUNC acquired the record services of RCA Victor ac a result of a donation by Jenks Robertson, a journalism student. Still without a budget, but gain ing momentum. WUNC advanced with increases in power and pro gram variety. The Associated Press wire ser vice was acauired in 1955. makinr available national and internation al pews to the station, and putting ready to move in behind th? 5 captured Gaza were reported 4 CHAPEL HILL, NORTH CAROLINA; it on an equal footing with non commercial and commercial sta tions. In 1955 a transmitter was given to WUNC by the Jefferson Stand ard Broadcasting Co. which raised the output potential to 15,500 watts. The transmitter was install ed immediately, but many diffi culties 'stood in the way of opera tion at full power. Finding a power source this large was indeed a problem. Little by little the power was increased. Bv the end of the spring semester of 1956 the station was operating at 12.000 watts. At last, through continuing ef forts throughout the past summer. WUNC was able to return to the air this fall .with full power. 15. 500 watts, increasing the original power more than 10 times in the first five years of operation. " Today, WUNC is the second most powerful non-commercial educational FM stat:on in the Southern United States. The growth and success of this station is symbolic of the spirited and enthusiastic students whe have given so freely of their time and efforts. WUNC is now under the man agement of a former UNC student of the Radio TV and Motion Pic ture department, Joe Young. Ac cording to Young, the main ob tective of the future fcr the sta tion is the project of raising the antenna from its present h sight of 78 feet to heights of up to 500 feet. The higher the antenna, the greater the station's range will be "With the advent of televisior it was sometimes difficult to keel radio cn th? advance, but now tha :t has been determined that radi 's and will continue t bs a vit3 nart of the media of communica 'ions, WUNC will continue t move forward." said Ear!

A bulletin late last night said 'Egypt had accepted the cease fire demand passed yesterday by the United Nations only if Israeli, Britain and France agree to cease their "aggression" against her. There was no immediate response from the three countries. Meanwhile, the British , Broadcasting Corp. announced Prime Minister Anthony Eden will disclose today (Saturday) whether England and France will accept the ceasefire resolution. The resolution, introduced by the United States in a special session of the UN General Assembly, calls for immediate cease fire in the Middle East and withdrawal of all aggressive forces there. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1956 UNC Endorses Ike And Dick By Two Votes Carolina joined State, Georgia Tech, and Davidson in support of Dwight Eisenhower for re-election as President of the United States. The attitude of the Student Body toward the November 6 election was determined in a campus-wide mock election Thursday. A report showed that of the 6.971 enrolled. 1,773 votes were cast. The President polled 880 votes and Democratic candidate Adlai Stevenson received 878 votes on a recount. In the mock state elec tion. Gov. Hodges got 1.271 votes and Kyle Hayes polled 452 votes. Sen. Sam Ervin received 1,199 votes and Republican candidate Toel Johnson polled 513.' Beth the YDC and YRC were very active in publicizing their respective candidates. In an at tempt to get out the vote, the two groups held campaign meetings, posted party publicity, and hand ed out campaign buttons. ' Keith Snyder president of the YRC, was especially interested in thanking members of the club for the part they played in getting tut the vote. Snyder also said. "The results of the election was indicative of the young people of N'orth Carolina thzt they are switching t- the Republican party md President Eisenhower." George Miller, president ot the YDC. stated. "I feel that the camp us of Carolina is still Democratic n 'ht there wa such a definite majority voting for Democrats "-ov." Hodges and Sen. Ervin."

Student Party Chair man Tom Lambeth said yesterday of a bill introduced into the Stu dent Legislature this week. The bill, introduced by Univer- sitv Party Chairman -Mike Wein-1 rin,s called for the setting up of 1 ' IHlHIflli 11 'V UJ lilt JJICMlirHl, Ul ine suioent wwr to wars 4xpes 1 '"toward obtaining student park ing lots." Lambeth said "the traffic com mittee which the UP f approved along with the SP has been i work- ing on the matter for two -months." ! The bill is an anti-climax to what has already been done, Lambeth j said. Weinman said he didn't think the committee set up had done any thing, actually. "I don't think they are really concerned," he said. The bill calls for the use of money collected, beginning this past fall from students for the re gistration of automobiles. , LARGE AMOUNT Weinman said a large amount of money has been collected and he "wants to see immediate action taken." He said he thought the lots could be built now, this year. "If the committee (the one set up previously), is doing something, let's hear it." -Weinman said. The bill will come to a vote at Thursday's meeting of the legis lature, along with two other bills introducted by Weinman. A bill passed unanimously by the legislature Thursday concern ing the maintenance of TV sets in dorms also sets up an unneces sary committee, Lambeth says. The bill set up a committee to investigate the possibility of fin ancing th! maintenance of men and women's dormitory television sets from sources other than the individual dormitory social fund."
