The cast of each opera is composed of outstanding local singers who are either students of the University or permanent Chapel Hillians. Admission is free.

His most recent opera tic role was that of the elder Ger mont in the UNC Music Depart ment's production of Verdi's "La Traviata." . Robert Williamson, as the maes Di-Plii Passes Bill To Limit Legislature The Di-Phi passed a resolution Wednesday night recommending that the student legislature confine itself to the discussion and passage of legislation which directly con cerns the student body and the University campus. The formation of a second house of the student legislature was rec ommended in an amendment to the resolution. The amendment sub mitted by Norwood Pratt advocat ed an upper house that would con cern itself solely with national and international issues that do not con cern the student body as a whole. The first vote among members of the Di-Phi was five to three in favor of the bill. The chamber vote including all those in the hall v, as 8 to 7 in favor of the bill. "The main arguments against as signing the responsibility of debat ing off campus issues to the Di Phi exclusively was that the Di Phi besides being un-representa-tuc of the student body, no longer swung the weight that the legisla ture possesses. Norwood Pratt claimed that his idea of forming a second house would remedy that problem by both relieving the regular legis lature of the loss of time spent in debating matters which did not di rectly concern it and by providing representatives elected by the stu dent Body to do the debating. , Representative Randall pointed out that it was asking a lot to ex pect those people most interested in issues to come to both the legislature, the Di-Phi and another House. He said that there was no question that the upper house idea would detract from the Di Phi. . i Randall then said that the legisla ture had debated off campus is sues since 1947 and that it was about lime that the Student Body realized that the student legisla ture does handle issues which do iot directly affect the student body. i ,M - And Local Singers tro Lamberto is a senior majoring in music.

Approval was by voice vote after senators defeated, also voice vote, an amendment by Sen. Frank J. Lausche, D-Ohio, to cut the amount to $45,780,000. Also rejected was a restriction written in by the Foreign Relations Committee to provide that no more than 15 per cent of Peace Corps volunteers could be sent to any one country or area. The limitation was dropped after Sen. John J. Sparkman, D-Ala., floor manager for the bill, said Peace Corps Director R. Sargent Shriver had given assurances this policy would be followed without the. restriction spelled out. The $63,750,000 was the full amount asked by Kennedy. It provides for about 10,000 volunteers by Aug. 31, 1963. The President last year asked $40 million for the first year of Peace Corps operations but Con gress cut the amount to $30 million. Senate approval came after only brief debate in which Sparkman urged passage to enable the corps to carry on work already under way and to expand operations. Lausche argued that the pro gram was still experimental. His amendment would have cut the number of corps members to 6,970 by August of next year. The corps expects to have 2,400 volunteers abroad or in training by July 1 of this year.

HODGES A' 7 A JFK Talks With Cabinet; Probe Likely WASHINGTON ( UPI ) President Kennedy held an economic council of war on the steel price increase Thursday amid reports that the government was studying possible court action t0 break up the giant U. S. Steel Corp. At the same time, the FBI was investigating reports that a top official of Bethlehem Steel Corp said no price increase was neces sary just a few days before Beth lehem followed U. S. Steel's lead and raised prices. nil. 1 m . .inese developments came as Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield predicted' that congres sional anti - trust subcommittees would launch immediate investiga tions and the Justice Department Mould take "more than ordinary interest in this unnecessary rise." "The time for talking is past," Mansfield said. "The time for action has come." The President held an unusual meeting with cabinet officers, in cluding Atty. Gen. Robert F. Ken nedy and Labor Secretary Arthur J. Goldberg, to consider numerous moves designed to combat effects of the $6 a ton steel price boost. Robert Kennedy's Justice Depart ment was reported to be consider ing a variety of possible moves. Among other things, it was said to be studying whether to file an antitrust suit seeking a breakup of U. S. Steel into several smaller companies. It was emphasized that this idea was only in the dis cussion stage. -Any antitrust sa it would be based on charges that U. S. Steel holds excessive control over the industry because of its 40 per cent share of the market and its power over pricing. Other firms fell in line after U. S. Steel announced the first price hike. The aluminum industry provides a precedent tor such a suit, in 1951 the government filed suit to force Aluminum Company of Amer ica ALCOA to drop control of Alum inium Ltd. of Canada.

Hodges' reports of his Russian trip, and was struck by the Gov ernor's plain-spoken and human interest revelations. He wrote the Governor and suggested a book. The Governor disclosed that his Russian trip reports were written after being dictated on a tape recording machine. Davis suggest ed that he do the same thing in a book. "When he became Secretary of Commerce, I thought we might have to table the idea," said Da vis. "But I found that he was still interested in going ahead with it. So, he has dictated or written out the body of the book, and with an outline and arrangements of cate gories, Charlie Dunn and the rest of us have worked on the editing." Miss Harriet Herring of the In Loose And Earl Scruggs Photo by Jim Wallace. Reaction to Rock and Roll The rise in popularity in folk and country music was attributed by Flatt to a growing popular de mand for music that tells a story, as opposed to the rock and roll music of the "Yackety Yak" varie ty. "This shift can best been seen," Scruggs said, "in the growth of our high school and college audi ence. Up around New York and Boston, for instance, almost every kid you see is learning to play the 5-string banjo. 'This is the second on-campus performance we have given," he said, "and we plan to continue performing for college audiences. We were real pleased with the reception we received here to night." No Style Change Earl Flatt said their group's success was due to the fact that their basic Bluegrass style had never been changed to try to imitate the popular music of the day. "Many people tried to imitate Elvis Presley, for instance," Flatt said, "and I think they have all suffered for it. We play the same music we played when our group was organized in 1948. And our audience has grown every year. "When we began playing, we thought our audience would be composed chiefly of country peo ple. Television, however, has changed all that. "Thanks to television," Flatt said, "our LP records are now our leading source of income. Peo ple who two years ago would not have listened to our type of music have now seen us on television and have then bought our records." It was apparent after the show that at least one Carolina student had been converted to bluegrass music, as one overalled autograph seeker was overheard to say, "boy, they sure were great, weren't they." stitute for Research in Social Science at Chapel Hill also assisted and Ed L.
