The 1958 cholar ships will be given in the South eastern Region including Alabama, l Delaware, the District of Columbia, A tax deduction write-off. on equipment purchases by business firms was suggested as one aid to counteracting the current drop in U. S. economic activity in a talk here this week by Prof. Sid ney Davidson. Davidson, who is professor of accounting at Johns Hopkins Uni versity, told a UNC Seminar in Economics and Business how the United States compares with oth er nations who have made efforts to speed up capital investment. In a recent study tour of Swed en, Denmark, Holland and Eng land, Professor Davidson observed accelerated depreciation systems in operation. "The United States has less generous provisions in this area than any of these four coun tries," he commented. A mild acceleration deprecia tion allowance which went Jnto effect in 1954 may have contribut ed to the U. S. economic boom dur ing the past four years," Davidson said. "This move encouraged pur- j chase of capital goods during 1954-1 57, which means that the current demand for these goods is now lessened." Discussing the cycles of econom ic growth and lag, Davidson said that another boom during the 1960's is "almost inevitable." But he also noted the inability of eco nomists to predict such changes accurately "because the purchase of capital goods tends to be 'chunky,' with most companies tending toward one large expan sion rather than repeated small purchases." Davidson was director of re search for the American Account ing Association during 1956, and has served as consultant on ac counting for governmental agen cies. He is the co-author of a bas ic accounting text, "Fundamentals of Accounting." Plans for the Y Conference "Tours through the Wilds of Cre ation" at Camp Bricks have been slightly Changed, according to Mar garet Daughtridge, co-chairman of the Y Conference Committee. Instead of beginning today as originally planned, the conference will begin tomorrow at 2:30 p.m., and the cost will now be only $7.50 for meals, room and trans portation, and $6.50 if the stu dent does not eat Saturday lunch at the conference. The day was changed because of the many scheduled tests for Sat urday morning which would keep students from going Friday. All students who are planning to go have been urged to register at the Y office by 4 p.m. today. "The Conference Committee feels that this will be a most ex citing conference and will provide a very meaningful experience to all participants," said Margaret Daughtridge. j Jim Carse, a director of the YMCA, will be the leading speak er. He will begin the first session of the conference speaking on "Artistic Creation in the Wilder ness of Doubt." This session will be a critical examination of the world through sculpture and con temporary paintings, studied j through the showing of slides. Carse will also be in charge of the concluding session of the con ference, "To Find a Home in Cease less Creation." The worship service led by Eve McClatchey after this last session will be the climax of the confer ence. Other attractions of the confer ence will be the reading presenta tion of "Darkness at Noon" by Koester and the dramatic presen tation of "Cry the Beloved Coun try" by Paton. Curtis Gans Enters Race For Tar Heel Editorship s?. ' f L 's Sfri CURTIS CANS Candidate Curtis Gans, junior from Waynes ville announced his candidacy yes terday for the office of editor of The Daily Tar Heel. Gans has worked over two years on the paper in the capacities of reporter, columnist, night editor, and proof reader. Gans said that he felt that the paper ought to be "interesting, edu cational, and perhaps most of all provocative." He listed the following plans for the improvement of the student publication: 1) EDITORIAL ASPECT: "The editor has a responsibility to facts, and hence the news and editorial ends of the paper must go hand in hand. The editor should sidestep no issues, and should pro vide a true forum of opinion on the edit page, where all sides of a prob lem can be presented. "The editor should draw from Robert Frost Appears In Talk Here Tonight literature as soon as possible. Due to the fact they must be I Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisi Writers Name Pete Brennan Top Player Pete Brennan, star UNC basket ball player, has been named Player of the Year by the Atlantic Coast Sports Writers Association. The poll was taken at the recent Altan- tic Coast Conference tournament in Raleigh. Brennan took 56 of the 53 votes cast. He has also been named to the third-string team of the Na tional Basketball Coaches' Associa tion. Sorry No Results Sorry, but no results were avail able on the Eastern Collegiate Swimming Championships being held at Annapolis, Md. at press time. Eleven Tar Heels are competing in the affair which features the best swimming teams in the East. Robert Frost, famous American poet makes his 12th annual appear ance at the University of North Carolina tonight. He will read and discuss some of his work for an open-invitation audience at 8 p. m. in Hill Hall. Frost plans, in addition, to meet informally with English majors stu dents and interested persons Satur day at noon in 103 Bingham Hall. While Frost was visiting the Brit ish Isles this past year, he was presented honorary degrees from the Universities of Oxford, Cam bridge, and Edinburg. Frost also holds an honorary degree from the University of North Carolina. A pungent wit and philosophical observances have made Frost a tra dition on this campus and a favorite with audiences everywhere. His ap pearances here in the past have at tracted large crowds. The volumes of Frost's work con tain hundreds of poems which are well-known favoritics. Frost, who finds the universal in the particular and the timeless in the timely, will icad and discuss these poems tonight. m i ROBERT FROST Speaking Here IDC Votes Election Change In Move To Aid Continuity ly KOV LUCAS A change in the by-laws of the Ii.tcr-Dormitory Council calling for the election of IDC representatives in the spring instead of the fall v as approved at a meeting Wednes day mjit. Torn Walters, president of IDC. - ud the reason for the change was t lend continuity to the IDC pro '.'ra:n. IDC representatives are nominiat- 'I by tnen living in the dormitories. Dormitory elections for this year v. ill be held on April 1 with campus lections. GM SLATE The following activity h been tcheduled for today at Gra ham Memorial: Political Science, 910 Woodhouta Conference Room. Walters has urged the dormitory men to consider carefully whom they wish to have represent them on the IDC because of an important year foreseen. President Walters and other IDC officers will go out of office on March 2G when their term of offices ends. IDC elections proper will be held on that date. At that time there will be a complete change of administra tion in the IDC. Between now and then, all nomi nations for IDC offices should be submitted to Jerry Barnes, 211 Joy ner, or a member of his committee. Speaking of the Grail Intramural Jamboree, which was held last week as an effort to get dormitory and fraternity men together in ath letic events, the IDC president said he was pleased by the Jamboree effort. Coach Walter Rabb, head of the intramural department, was pleased with the work of Paul Woodard, in tramurals chairman for IDC and IDC representative to the intramu ral department," Walters said. Walters said the annual Awards Night has been tentatively set for April 9. At this time, both outgoing and incoming administrations will be present and awards will be given to the outstanding dormitories, in tramural winners and individuals. Neil Bender, chairman of the Awards Committee, announced he would call for a meeting of his committee as soon as possible. He said he would let them know about the meeting through the mail. The Circle 9, girls from Chi Omega sorority, sang after Wed nesday's IDC meeting and were called back for a number of encores. DURING SYMPOSIUM Administrators Urge Student Attendance The Carolina Symposium on Public Affairs has announced the re ceipt of a letter signed by Chancellor William B. Aycock, Henry T. Clark, administrator of Health Affairs, and Dean of the Faculty James L. Godfrey. The letter Is to encourage professors to stress attendance at Symposium affairs to their students. It states: 'The coming week of March 16-21 is Carolina Symposium Week. The University will have on its campus a large number of distinguished and highly qualified speakers. The Symposium Com mittee has arranged an impressive and attractive program which will be published in this week's Campus Calendar. "This week should be a memorable one in the experience of stu dents and faculty, would you be kind enough to encourage your students to attend the sessions and to take part in the program? You are, of course, most cordially in vited and it is hoped that by our full participation the University can draw the maximum benefit from the several attractions of the week. "Needless to say, this must not be construed as a plea for the dis missal of classes. It is an encour agement of participation during the free time of the individual." The letter was signed by the three administrators and distribut ed to all faculty members. Stu dents are advised to make thetr owii arrangements with their indi vidual instructors as far as at- CHANCELLOR AYCOCK tendance at Symposium affairs are Letter Writer concerned. FRANK WETZEL CONVICTED SANFORD, March 13 (r Con victed cop killer Frank Edward Wetzel, already sentenced to life for gunning down one North Caro lina highway patrolman, was con victed in Lee Superior Court Thursday night of murdering an other state trooper. The jury of 11 men and one wo man, which began hearing testi mony early last week, returned its verdict after an hour and 43 minutes of deliberation. The jury recommended life imprisonment, which sentence was passed im mediately by Judge George M. Fountain. Rifle Team Continues Competition the resources of the University, in cluding the faculty, students, and library in order to present a more comprehensive view of any parti cular issue. "The editor should undertake var ious studies and investigations into aspects of college life. With the editorship goes the responsibility to print all signed letters. "There ought to be a more lively make-up on page two. As this is a campus paper, the editor has re sponsibility to devote at least 50 per cent of his editorial space over a year's period to campus events. He also is charged with the re sponsibility to put the campus in focus with the rest of the world. Page Two should be a marketplace of ideas and interest. 2) NEWS ASPECT: "Implementation of a, stringer system coupled with a news tip sys tem will enable the Tar Heel to more fully cover the campus. "The Tar Heel ought to have more and varied features on campus life, on student and faculty leaders, on things of historical interest, and on things going on in the university which may not make news stories, but should be contained within the paper. The Tar Heel should cover more fully happenings of smaller groups. i SPORTS iCPPCT- "The past coverage of sports has been adequate, but intra-murals and minor sports should in the future get more play than they are cur rently getting. 4 BUSINESS ASPECT: "Circulation of newspapers on campus must be improved so that all people who are currently not getting papers regularly do so. An at tempt to get revenue by subscrip tion to the 40,000 living almuni and 7,000 parents, who are currently not even asked whether they want the paper should be undertaken.

Charlie Sloan Lists Opinions On Operating Daily Tar Heel r ' J v - r v - s ' i , ft ! - I , . . . T? . i M i O Charlie Sloan stated yesterday some of his views and qualifications for editor of The Daily Tal Heel. Sloan recently announced he is a candidate for the position. His policy of news gathering and relations with the staff were the things Sloan elaborated on in his statement. He wants an improved method of campus coverage and a training program for new staffers. Sloan's statement said in part: "The editor of The Daily Tar Heel is the head of a complex organiza tion. The best editor should be im partial as to what he thinks the best feature in the paper is. He is not editing the paper to suit himself, but to please the entire student body. "I am not enough of an idealist to think that the entire paper can be molded to fit everybody's tastes, but I do think everyone who reads the paper should be pleased with some part of what they read. "The editor should consider two areas of the paper the content and the internal organization. I've thought of several plans for each of these areas. These plans have occurred to me during my own association with the paper, and are the result of my own observations. "To carry out these rather ambi tious programs I've worked out a j few plans for the internal organiza- j tion of the paper, including a dorm stringer system similar to one I sug gested last year, daily meetings of the editorial and business staffs, and training of new staffers. "Since my freshman year I have j held, or substituted in, every capaci ty on the newspaper, with the ex ception of advertising. This over-all knowledge is important to an edi tor; it helps him understand the problems of the people working with him to put out a good newspaper." IN THE INFIRMARY Students in the infirmary yes terday included: Misses Beverly Heaton, Ann Morgan, Marianna Miller, Lois Webb, Edith Metcalf, Elizabeth' Howell, and Elizabeth Sojourner, and Robert Wellons, Mayson Morris, Dabney Caddington, Rob ert Knott, Mert Dowd, Jerry Stokes, Wayne Venters, Philip Kenny, Bruce Miller, John Reev es, Ted Boden, Bill Dorroh, Jo Hewitt, Barton Davidian, Dean Culbreth, James Bourroughs, Mike Widoff, Paul Fuller, Rich ard Molten, Ed Lively, Clark Jones, Ralph Carmode, Malcolm Slifkin, Henry Handy, Tom Fish er, Bill Hodges, Robert Walker, Seamon Gottlieb and Richard Weiner. , . , t .'
