I had been turned in yet. Scrips for the all student production, scheduled for the spring, may be submitted to Duff or Howard ilen ry, GM director. Assistant Dean William Long spoke to the IDC last night in an effort to improve dormitory lile socially as well as academically. Through the increase in enroll ment, dormitory life has become more complicated in many ways. Each boy acts as an individual and doesn't take any interest in dorm activities, Dean Long said. To solve some of the problems found in the dorms, such as three man rooms, some new dorms will be added to the campus in the near future. Some of the problems of dorm life can not be solved so easily, he said. The problem of drinking, as it now stands hasn't any conceivable solution. He added, that "di inking and trouble go together." Long asked the IDC members what they thought of UNC having freshman dorms. Freshmen have problems that can't be solved in the short time that they go through orientation. In freshman dorms I Di-Phi Sides With North On Secession The Di-Phi Society concluded Tuesday night that the Southern States should not secede from the Union. Debating as though the year were lSf.9, the society heard some parti san speeches from representatives of both the North and the South, v Rep. Glen Johnson introduced the resolution lor .secession, contend- The committee would consider all bills about the honor system. Legislature will discuss a bill to send registered letters to the chiefs-of-state of eight countries engaged in nuclear testing. The letters to the U. S., U.S.S.R., United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, France, and the People's Republic of China would I ask these countries to stop the tests. Legislature will also discuss a bill for a $2,750 appropriation for radio equipment lor the Radio Club. If an attendance bill is passed, according to Grigg, the attendance requirements for legislators ap pointed to non-legislative organiza tions will be the same as those for Legislature and Legislative ' com mittees. Grigg says that an elections bill will be discussed and probably amended again. The vice president's bill for a $3 appi opriatjon for a Student Leg islature gavel will also be taken up. By J. M. ROBERTS Associated Press News Analyst President Eisenhower's forthcom ing goodwill trip to nine foreign countries will trascend anything of this nature ever attempted by a president. It also emphasizes the changing face of 'big-power small-power re lations which has occurred in re cent years. For many years .the big powers used to send naval contingents around the world, "showing the flag" to remind less powerful coun tries, and sometimes each other, how they were expected to act. Now, instead of showing the face of power, the United States em phasizes the face of friendship and cooperation in the development of countries which once were little more than pawns in big power diplomacy. The picture of the President of the United States packing his bags and striking out for places like Ankara, Karachi, Kabul, New Del hi, Athens, Teheran and Rabat, trying to sell them on American policy, is an amazing cne. For many months, now, Ameri- UP, SP Announce 30 Candidates To Fill 15 Class Officer Posts The names of 30 candidates for er, Dave Alexander; and for social they would have the advantage of I ing that .since the var ious states entered into the United State;; tite ly, they could withdiaw just as freely. Several states had provi sions for secession in their cousti tutions when they adopted the U. S. constitution. a more extended orientation with less confusion than we have now. Dormitories should also stress a better academic atmosphere. Dean Long asked the IDC members to try to think yf a possible solution to this problem. I' By a resolution, a letter from the International Students Board was endorsed by the IDC. This program would familiarize, dorm students with problems existing in foreign countries. . . Jim Crownover asked that anyone havii g an empty room on the week end of November 14. to please con tact him in Aycock dorm. These rooms would be used bv' exchange students from Toronto, Canada. Sound & Fury Deadline Nears The deadline for submitting Sound and Fury scripts to Graham Memorial Activities Board is Dec. 2. Last Day! Today is tlu last day or class officers to be elected in the campus-wide election Nov. A mass meeting of all can did. ites lor any office will be tonight in (ienard Hall at 7 p.m., according to Jey Diefell, F.lcctions Board chairman. He cited the numerous violations by the U. S. government of south ern states' rights as ample grounds for secession. 1 Rep. Mary Jeanne Reid opposed j the resolution. The founding fathers ! did intend to create a permanent union, she asserted.' Now " certain factions in the South are trying to destroy the United States for trivial reasons. Rep. Ron Pruett evaded the rul ing that no information after 185' could be used, by predicting that if the South were to secede, a great Civil War would break out. The southern states, he predicted, would lose the war. A part of the resolution which resolved that secession is consti tutional was barely defeated by the Di-Phi. The part stipulating that the southern stales should secede was overwhelmingly de feated. Next week the Di-Phi witl have a general discussion, rather than a debate, in "Problems in American Universities." TV Thefts Reported A seiies of thefts of dorm TV's has started on the UNC campus. T.vo weeks ago between 12:30 and l' p.m. someone strode boldly into the Avery drom recreation room and calmly carried off the dorm's TV set.

Tele phone calls will not be accepted. Monsoon Season Here By GRAHAM WALKER The monsoon season has moved into Chapel Hill. It is rumored that this unpleasant visitor will re main here until next May. There is no escape from this guest; one must only be prepared. The most essential item in a! student's rainy-di-y wardrobe is the black umbrella, which may be used by the more sophisticated Caro lina gentleman as a walking cane These dreary rain shields are the size of a parachute, wtih the extra feature of being bordered by knives, those spears that serve as the finishing touches to the um brella's appearance. Even though these handy instru ments are so valuable, they tend to lose their usefulness when oper ated in mass. Many dangers are prevalent when one gets lost in a sea of umbrellas. At a footoall game, the spectator can not see over, under or around this black, thing. Such a problem proves to be quite disconserting. In addition to this inconvenience, much to one's horror, he suddenly realizes that he is being dripped uprn by the umbrellas belonging to his neighbors. Not only is the umbrella an es sential part of rainy-day gear but also the trench roat plays a mca important role. Long ago, man dis covered it was ? human impossi bility to make this type of item waterproof, but still today people place great confidence in the add to dry clean and -vaterproof trench coats for $2.25. Plastic boots are the only thing that do the trick, but the morti fication of walking around clad in such atrocious attire makes it more comforting to just get drenched. Since there is no escape from this wet problem, all one can do is to inflate the trusty water wings and try to stay afloat. Everyone is in the same boat. can efforts have been directed to ward maintaining the status quo in Germany and Europe. Since the war, a great deal more mutual aid money has gone to Europe than to Asia. The Soviet Union, on the other hand, has sent .numerous goodwill missions into Asia, ranging from Khrushchev on down, and has made progress m her program of eco nomic infiltration. Kabul, in Aghanistan, is especial ly a place where American post war economic efforts have been largely supplanted by Soviet activi tity. There has been worry about it in the Western Camp. But whoever thought that the President of the United States him self would attempt to show tha flag of friendship there and get things back into balance? The President has chosen a time which not only fits his determina tion to make, before he retires, a historical effort toward peace. 1 It is a time when India is awaken ing to the fact that Communism, with which Prime Minister Nehru has thought he could find a liva ble accommodation, is fundamen tally aggressive. It is a time when outside pres sures tend to push India and Pakis tan closer together, and so pro duce hopes that the free world can heal one of the rifts which helps the Communists. It is a time when Africa needs reassurance that the United States still preserves its traditional feel ing for the underdog. It is a time when Turkey and Greece are having a hard time reconciling their differences in Cy prus, which makes another rift in I he free world front: It is a time when Iran needs re assurance that the risks she incurs by si ding with the West against her big Soviet neighbor are not too dangerous. Never has friendship and support been needed over such a wide area, ar,d never has on country made such an attempt to supply it. Correction Don't panic!
