church Mrs. Lanier found some
of them clinging to her pocket
book.
In the hunting party from
Chapel Hill, besides Mr.. Bennett
and Mr.. Lanier were Arthur
Branch and A. H. Shepard. They
were the guests of Mr.. Ben
nett's brother at the lodge on
Hog Island in the sound. The
other guests we're Archie Davis
Of Durham and Mr. Gibbs of
Morehead.
In their two days hunt the
Chapel Hillians killed 81 duck

brought home a goose. Most OF
their victims we're cooked and
eaten at the lodge.

Edwin S. Laniers boyhood in
Georgia encompassed various
kinds of outdoor activity, but,
as it happened, not much hunt
ing. And no duck hunting at all.
So, when he accepted j. S. Ben
nett's invitation to go on duck
hunt down on the coast, just
before Christmas, he was facing
a new experience.
Il wouldn't be surprised if
you're starting on a wild goose
chase" said Mrs. Lanier.
That was a figure of speech.
to signify lack of admiration for
her husbands Workmanship.
But it turned out to be the
literal truth. A telegram one
night said, I'm bringing home
a goose" and the next afternoon
the goose appeared at the door
held by the right hand of the
proudest husband that has come
back to Chapel Hill from a hunt
in many day. He had shot it
from a duck-blind In Pamlico
Sound.
There being no help available
from a goose-cleaning expert,
the Lanier family did the job
themselves, They took the goose
out to the garage Ia prudent
suggestion Of Mrs. Lanier's)
and proceeded to pluck the
feathers, This was much harder
work and took a much longer
time than they had expected |;
and then there were other
things to be done to the goose.
At last the job was finished, and
the goose VAS duly cooked and
eaten.
Goose-feathers permeated and
pervaded the place. Next day at

Distinguished British photographer Is Here

Charles j. Sisson, the distin-
guished photographer of the
University of London, is here
as visiting professor of English
for the winter quarter. He and
Mrs. Sisson are at the Carolina
Inn.
Though Chapel Hill is a seat
of learning, there are a good
many people in it who are not
learned-at least, not learned
enough to know what paleog-
raphy is. For the enlightenment
OF these, the following defini-
tions, from Webster's New In
ternational Dictionary, are
given:
=. An ancient manner of
writing; ancient writings, col
lectively.
"2. The study of ancient
modes of writing, including in
scriptions; the art or science of
deciphering ancient writings,
determining their origin, period,
etc"
Mr.. Sisson will offer q seminar
in the literature of the Renais-
sance with special emphasis on
the use of manuscript mate
rials.

The Pressure on
Campus Rooms
Easing q Little
Not All the Space in QuOnset
Huts Needed Now; Continued
Demand at Victory Village

The University's winter quar-
ter began this week with slight
Iy fewer students than the T.
6O3 who were here in the fall
quarter. The total for the new
quarter was not available when
we went to press. The 1948
winter quarter enrolment was
7,116. Winter and spring enroll
ments are always less than in
the fall.
AS for the housing pressure,
Roy Armstrong, director of ad-
missions, said yesterday, 1T is
beginning to ease a little. Just
enough to notice. Every dormi-
tory room still has three or
four occupants, and Victory Viii
lage and the barracks beyond
the Carolina Inn are still filled.
But the Quonset huts on the
tennis courts are no longer filled
to capacity. That's where the
easing OF the pressure has
showed first, because the huts
are the least desirable living
quarters we have. The, demand
for quarters for married stu
dents is as great as ever. The
Victory Village waiting list is
as long as ever"
Mr.. Armstrong said that the
pressure by out-of-state stu
dents seeking admission con-
tinued heavy. Such admissions
are limited to not more than Is
per cent of the new admissions
in any one quarter.
80 far" Mr.. Armstrong said,
we have never turned down the
application Of single qualified
North Carolinian. But some who
were accepted didn't enter be-
cause they couldn't find suitable
living quarters"
Mr.. Armstrong said that the
G.I. enrolment reached it's peak
some time ago, and that the per-
centage of Gil. students in the
University had begun to de-
crease slightly.

80 Miles Of POle Lines WOa1a
Be Required, with Only 5
Customers . Line NIile


Farm families in what may he
called the Chapel Hill area Of
Orange county-that is, the
country within IL or Is miles
from town-are eager to have
telephones. The question of how
the telephones can be provided
has been the subject of study in
recent weeks, but thus far no
solution to the problem of cost
has been found. II looks as If
such a project cannot be carried
through without some sort Of
financial help from the State.
A survey made under the di-
rection of Don Matheson, county
farm agent, indicates that 227
farm families in the area want
to become telephone subscribers.
The central exchange would of
course have to be in Chapel Hill.
The, Chapel Hill Telephone Com
pany (which is owned and oper-
ated by the University has
estimated that 80 miles of pole
lines would have to be built, at
an estimated cost of $64, 900, to
provide telephone service for the
227 homes. This is only 8 Gus
toners per mile of line. To JUS
tify the needed expenditure the
company would have to charge
rentals that would be prohibi-
tive.
The telephone company, like
any other division Of the Uni
versity, depends upon State APP
preparations. Whatever money
it IS sc spend ON conaArneEion
must be granted by the legisla-
ture. Farm families all over
North Carolina want telephones,
and it is not likely that the
legislature would single out any
one particular area to receive
a State subsidy for telephone
service.
1t appears that, if there is to
be an extension of rural tele-
phone service throughout the
State, the legislature will have
to sanction a comprehensive sub
sidy program. That is, unless
another touch can be made on
Santa Claus in Washington.

Bear in mind that the postage

rule-Rule 22-which permits
limitation OF debate by a two
thirds vote on presentation OF a
cloture or closure petition signed
by 16 members.
That rule has become unwork-
able under a decision from the
chair in the last Congress by then
President pro tenn of the Senate,
Senator Vandenberg, Republican
of Michigan, that it did not ap-
ply to motions to take up a bill.
This allows a filibuster against a
mere motion to bring bill before
the Senate for consideration, so
that the legislative process can
be- completely paralyzed. The
current Southern filibuster, cor
responding1y, is against motion
to take up a resolution reported
by the Rules Committee which
does nothing except make Rule
%, adopted in 1917, applicable to
filibusters against such motions.
The Michigan Senator publicly
regretted his ruling. but said it
was all he saw he could do. He
urged the Senate to close this
loophole, whereupon Senator Taft,
Republican, of Ohio, pledged his
party to do that at the first op-
portunity in this Congress. Demo-
Gratis, in control of this Congress,
have accepted that responsibility.
Issue Is Simple.
That is the only direct issue in
volved in all the uproar in the
Senate. 1t is very simple. yet 1t
is presented as complex. All sorts
of circumstances have been ex-
plotted for politics sake to cor
fuse this simple issue and blow
it into something titanic on which
our republic might stand or fall,
which is. of course. pure nonsense.
The Southerners, alone, are
simple and direct in purpose
which is to stave off. by any means
available, the consideration OF
