Ends Tomorrow
Heilman Play Uses Family To Plead a Cause
by JOANNE GEE
A family is used to put over an ideology in Lillian Heilman's “Watch on the Rhine” which ends a five-day run tomorrow night in Bovard auditorium.
Despite the fact that the Farrelly family, with whom the main character. Kurt, lives while he is in America, has been a part of diplomatic circles for generations, it is still unable to understand the struggle that is being fought in Europe.
"Watch on the Rhine" is a serious drama showing the struggle between democracy and Fascism.
Woven in a net of international intrigue in Washington, D.C., the plot revolves around the German refugee, Kurt, who comes to America seeking funds to aid the democratic German underground. Kurt meets his biggest problem when Teck. a Roumanian refugee who fled his native country for political reasons, finds that he is an underground leader and tries to inform on him.
Vets Checks Due Tomorrow Says Carter
Subsistence cheeks, dammed up in the mails because of the election and Armistice holidays should be In vets’ hands tomorrow, Hal Carter, Trovet president said yesterday.
Carter said thmt the VA has notified him that 26,000 checks arc now in the mail and by December 1 everything should be square betwen the VA and vets.
According to the VA, any other delay of checks after the first of the month can be attributed to late registration or a mixup in the records.
Trovets, campus veterans organization, has been taking an active part in trying to alleviate the present “GI depression” at SC.
Carter recently sent two leters, one to Rep. Helen G a h a g a n Douglas and another to Sen. William Knowland, asking about the delay and the possible remedy.
Knowland's answer came into the Trovet office yesterday. Be repeated what Representaeive Douglas had said in a previous telegram by stating that veto would have their checks by November 10.

forbidding race, color, creed, and religious discrimination passed by the Senate Wednesday night.
Honorary and professional fraternities, clubs, and service organizations must comply with the law by Dec. 1.
Social fraternities and sororities are the only organizations that will not be affected by the rule. These groups will not be governed by the ; bylawT because their charters are approved by the administration, not the Senate.
After Dec. 1 the Senate will have the power to withdraw recognition of the organizations within its jurisdiction which have not complied with the law. A minority vote by Senate members is all that will be needed to carry out the amendment’s purpose.
Approval of the law, introduced at the last meeting by Jack Shaffer, culminated two years of Senate debate over its fringe issues. The bylaw was adopted by a 26-3 vote. Dick Calhoun, freshman class president, abstained.
Bruce Savan, president of the School of Music, was represented by proxy Harold Rosenwald who cast one of the dissenting votes. According to Savan, this nay was a mistake. His proxy did not realize his error until it was too late to amend it.
A second disagreeing ballot was cast by Bob Beaudry who represented the School of Commerce. “I am not for restrictions,” he said, “I am in favor of the bylaw.
“I wa| ready to grab the floor but it was pulled from beneath me.” Beaudry explained. ‘‘The resolution has nothing to do with race and descent. It just clarifies the constitution.” Beaudry wanted the floor, as did Cal Schmidt, junior class councilman, to urge that a two-thirds majority instead of the simple majority, be necessary to withdraw’ recognition from any group.

Winzler Gets
$1500 Grant
For Research
Dr. Richard J. Winzler, featured in the Hancock foundation blast, yesterday received a $1500 grant from the Harrower Laboratories, Inc., to continu*5 his studies on “the cardiac effects of thyroid preparations in relation to basal metabolic rates.”
Now that’s not at all as awesome as it may seem. Broken down it means simply this.
The thyroid gland produces a hormone, thyroxine, a complex io dine compound, w»hich increases biological oxidation and in young animals has a profound influence on development and growth. Decreased activity gives rise to cystic goiter, suspended activity to cretinism and myxedema.
On to basal metabolism. Breaking this down even further, we find that the first half of the. phrase, basal, pertains to, or is essential for maintaining, the lowest natural level for continued vital activity in an organism. Metabolism is the sum of the process concerned in the building up of protoplasm and its destruction incidental to life.

He stated that everything he did was in the best interests of the university.
PODMORE EXPLAINS
“As chairman of the Queen committee,” Podmore stated, “I did my best to choose a queen truly representative of the university. A queen must make impromptu speeches before large groups. She must appear on television and radio shows. Besides beauty she must possess a ihigh intellect, poise, a ready wit, a knowledge of the university, and a love of SC.
“It^is my opinion that it is impossible for outside judges, viewing a contestant for less than a minute, to possess a knowledge of these factors,” Podmore said.
“To find a girl with these qualifications it is necessary to interview each contestant individually,” he continued.
When asked about notations in the judges’ books, Podmore said that he thought it was this duty to aid in the selection of -a queen.

Gray admitted that he had made a mistake by not informing Unity of his permanent resignation. The Unity spokesman agreed that mental resignations were not very effective.
sound effects, Willson became serious once again and emphasized the necessity for ingenuity in the radio business. He mentioned that radio’s sound effects have become corny ana the field should present a challenge to the ingenuity of young radio aspirants.
He went back to his clowning antics once again in a demonstration of how singers were overcoming the poor sound in television by gestures while singing. After a howling audience quieted, he advised them not to sell radio short in its competition with television.

Unity Bigwigs Hit Senate, Praise Unity Bigwigs
Unity party members heard Unity bigwigs and ex-bigwigs explain the policies and accomplishments ot the organization and lash out at the ASSC Senate during an afternoon meeting yesterday.
A howi of laughter greeted Chairman Jim Roberts’ opening statement:
“As you know. Unity has been having a little difficulty on the Senate.”
Joe Flynn, Unity presidential candidate two years ago, was the first speaker. He said that 95 per cent of the Senate's constructive accomplishments for the last three years had been the work of Unity senators. The senators-at-large, veterans representative, and preferential ballot were all the result of Unity action for a more representative Senate, said Flynn.
FOLLOW-THE-LEADER
Omar Kureishi, ex-Unity chairman, said that many of the student senators did not have the courage to recognize the difference between integrity and manipulation. He said that they were “Wednesday senators,” in regard to the NSA question, never taking time out to investigate for themselves but always ready to follow the leader on a vote.
AM£> President Jack Shaffer said that this year's Senate was like previous ones the majority never constructive but just obstructive. He tinue to fight for racial tolerance, effective student government, and improved facilities for students. COMBINES INTERESTS “Unity was created to combine independent interests with those of Row members who refuse to be dominated,” stated Sen. Bob Scoilin. “We will always work with that in mind.”
ASSC President Bob Padgett greeted the ^roup with:
“It heartens us old has-beens to see so many new and younger people in the Unity party.
“We shall continue working for a greater university for all students and we will attempt to prove that student opinion is a valuable ( consideration in the administration | of this university,” he continued.
Phil Supple, campus representative of the student flight to Chicago. will confer with Henry Kaiser Jr. this afternoon in Los Angeles in ihopes of having the Kaiser-Fra- , jer company sponsor the flight.
If approved, the plan will give the band members all the advantages of the package-deal arranged for students, including accommodations at the Hotel Sherman in Chicago, transportation to South Bend, and a banquet at the Sherman after the game.
MAY GIVE CONCERTS
Besides lifting the morale of the team, the band may be called upon to give concerts in Kansas City, Dallas, and Chicago, with proceeds to go to the Damon Runyon Cancer fund.
The last day that student and alumni reservations for the regular Chicago flight can be made is the Monday before the game.
The trip will commence the Wednesday following at 6 p.m. from the Administration building. where limousines will be waiting to take the group to the airport. Douglas 4-engine luxury liners will then take off for Chicago, arriving at approximately 9 a.m. Thursday.
RALLY SCHEDULED The SC rooters and band members will then be transported to the Hotel Sherman where an entire floor has been set aside for them.
A team rally is scheduled for Friday afternoon at the Hotel Stevens.
