Political Union panels dealing with
the problems facing the country dur
ing the war and in the coming peace
time period will be held in Gerrard
hall Friday night at '8:15 on "Post
War Military Conscription." - - .
With the May "bill pending in Con
gress arid as administrative and
legislative sentiment favoring various
forms of National Service and the
drafting of men classified in 4-F, in
creases, the subject of peace-time
conscription looms with redoubled im
portance to college and university stu
dents. Members of the panel are: Dean F.
F. Bradshaw of the War College; Mr.
Larry Johnson, "formerly an' instruc
tor at the University of Iowa and
Duke University and now news edi
tor of station "WDNC; Dr. E. E. Eric-
son of the English Department; and
Dr. L. O. Kattsoff of the Philosophy
Department. .
After the formal speech of each of
the panel members, the floor will be
opened for questions from the audi
CPU Chairman Jimmy Wallace said,
"and especially .does this apply to stu
dents who will in all probability be
affected either by the new manpower
proposals . or by ajconscnption law.' ;;
As' a continuation of the 'CPU's
"aU-ut" panel series, a new panel is
being prepared for next week "and de
tails will be announced in Saturday's
Tar "Heel. This panel will he on the
subject of 'the "National Service pro
posals and how such proposals will
affect education. .'Exact details of the
panel are not yet available.
In order to find but what campus
sentiment ' really is on the subject of
the peacetime draft and "National
Service proposals, the CPU is con
ducting a poll during the early part
of next week. Poll booths will "be set
up at the TMCA and. at other central
ly located places on the campus.
By February 15, a slate of speakers
for the first half of the new year will
be released by the CPU. "Anyone in
terested in joining the CPU should
procufre an application blank at the
YMCA information office and fill it
out," said Wallace. "Interviews by
the membership committee will be;
held as soon as a sufficient number
of applications are obtained."

University Signs Contract
To Conduct Veteran Center
With the express purpose of assisting disabled war veterans to secure jobs
suitable to their capacities the University, under contract with the U. S.
Veterans' Administration, has established a Vocational Advisement Center
for the state of North Carolina. The center of operations for the .new or
ganization is Peabody hall.
Ben Husbands, former registrar of
the University who has been in Fay-
etteville as a member of the Veterans
Administrations regional office there,
will take over the duties of vocational
adviser for the new government-uni
versity organization. Assisting Hus
bands in the job is M. E. Kelly, also a
former member of the Fayetteville
staff. Kelly's main post is to assign
either a regular job or a training pro
gram for the veteran after it is de
termined what type of work is most
suited for the individual. "Miss Up-
church is the secretary of the center.
The 'first case is expected to arrive
sometime this week.
Another vital part of the new or
ganization is the testing unit which is
directed by W. TP. Bradshaw. Dr. IV. j
D. Perry will 'conduct the tests. Dr.
Perry has been 'in New York observ
ing the same type of work which is to
be done'in'the organization, at the first

Elections Set
For Thursday
Are Cancelled
Speaker Hunt
States Reason
. By Fred Flagler
The Tar Heel learned upon study
of the elections bill, particularly tho
stipulated articles governing the
election of representatives to tho
men's Honor Council, that there is a
peculiar contradiction in the bill
which had not been noticed, evident
ly by any members of the legislature
until after the election plans for a
military replacement to the honor
council had been scheduled.
The election which was scheduled
for Thursday of this week has been
cancelled, according to Doug Hunt,
speaker of the legislature, who mado
the following statement upon being
contacted by the Tar Heel on the
matter:
"An unfortunate contradiction in
the 'elections bill, passed by the
Student Legislature before last No-
, vember's elections and discovered
only after nominations were filed
with the elections committee, has
made it necessary, to clarify the
law before elections can be held.
Therefore, the elections scheduled
for Thursday have been called off,
pending action in the Thursday
night session of the Legislature."
The bill is in a distorted state with
the 'original 'billjreading orie way and
amendments' another. 'The original
bill states that "Replacement of a
holdover member, shall be by ran elec
tion within that group either mili
tary or civilian, affected ty 'the vaca
tion." What is more, Article '6 of the
original hill was one df the few ar
ticles not affected by the amend
ments. In the amendment section
under Article 3, however, there ap
pears the following statement of pro
cedure in 'electing representatives to
the Honor :Council: "The remaining
six (6) vacancies shall be filled by
election from and by the membership
of the present Student Council in the
following ratio: One Marine, one
ROTC, one V-12 and three civilian
males."
Only last week were the nomina
tions submitted to Allan Pannill, act
ing head of the elections committee,
for the election of a military repre
sentative at large to the Honor Coun
cil. Two V-12s and one Marine were
slated to run for the post, but ac
cording to Hunt the whole election
picture for this week has been can
celled until such time as the Legisla
ture can correct the bill. According
to Libba Wiggins of the Ways and
Means Committee, the entire con
tradiction should be cleared up at the
meeting Thursday and the election
date "set for some time next week.
