Alumni Secretary J. Maryon Saunders hit upon the novel idea to supplement his volume of cor respondence with service men, and the result is one of the first such alumni services in the coun try. His news letter is limited to one page, mimeographed on both sides, but it is crammed with 600 words of cheery notes about the University of yesterday and to day, but never a word about funds or drives. Student Self -Government Goes Civilians to Form Intertown Council By Jud Kinberg Carolina's student self-government goes on active duty today, sharply remodeled by the de mands of a split civilian-Navy campus.

Council Members Take First Move Hill, the Legislature's Emergency committee started work on plans for revamping the Student coun cil setup. As finally approved, the measure provided for a mem bership jump from 11 to 15. A fixed ratio of seven civilians to eight "men in uniform" is to be maintained with the council em powered to try. members of both groups for honor code violations. UNC's law making body, the Student legislature, has also been changed by the "exigencies of war." Empowered, early in-the spring term, to change its own constitution without a general campus vote, the Legislature radically changed its apportion ment system.

F-S147 NUMBER 1 W mare Popham Halts V-12 Rushing 'Heavy Schedule' Cited as Reason A statement from V-12 com mandant Captain Popham has ruled out fraternity rushing of men of his unit "until after the first semester." Main reason for Popham's de cision was that the strenuous training program scheduled for the naval reservists would not allow the time needed for pledg ing and pledge duties. Also, he explained, many of the younger boys have never been away from home before. Later Date "Getting acclimatized to the academic and military life of the Navy will be difficult during the first semester and because of this rushing is inadvisable." It may be permitted in August or Sep tember. The change from civilian to military life at Carolina and the rental of fraternity houses by the Navy has caused an inevit able complication of rushing rules and fraternity practices.
