'Buys New Plot
Students coming to the University
for the first time invariably ask, when
they disembark from the buses at the
tiny Chapel Hill bus station: "Where
is the bus station?"
If the Town -Planning Commission
succeeds in its efforts, new students
will . have . no cause in a f ew months
maybe, certainly a few. months after
the war's end, to ask that perennial
puzzler.
Climaxing a several-years-old ef
fort to get a much-needed larger bus
station, the Carolina Coach Company
bought a lot at the corner of W.
Franklin and Kenan Streets. (This
lot is just about three blocks from
Strowd's garage at the corner of W.
Franklin and Columbia Streets.)
President Hoffman of the Carolina
Coach Company, together with Mr.
Edwards, the company's architect,
will arrive here sometime this week
to confer with the Town Planning
Commission. Archie Davis, the Com
mission's architectural consultant, will
participate in the discussion, too.

Commission, said that V Mr. Hoffman

CPU To Conduct
Poll On National
Service Act Today
'The Carolina Political union will
conduct a poll of opinion today on
the question of a national service
act, it was announced by Chairman
Jimmy Wallace.
To be conducted in the YMCA,
the questionnaire contains four
questions which are to be answered
by "yes" or "no." Everyone is re
quested to drop by the ballot box
to make his views on the subject
known since it is a question of
vital concern to persons of college
age, and directors of the survey
wish to make it as inclusive as
possible.
Art Goldberg is in charge of the
poll.

Plan To Debate
Postwar Military
Program Question ?
Following on the heels of a lively
debate concerning the drafting of 4F's,
the Dialectic Senate will turn its dis
cussion to compulsory postwar mili
tary training at its meeting tomor
row night. '
When the Di senators convene on
third floor New West at 9 o'clock, the
bill before them will be, Resolved:
That the" United States should adopt
a program of postwar military train
ing for all able iodied men, such train
ing to begin oetweeh the ages of ' 18
and 21. ' "
Climaxing the debate last week
whether or not 4F's should be drafted
into labor battalions, a substitute bill
was introduced and passed by the Sen
ate. The resolution, which was pre
sented by Bill Crisp reads, Resolved:
That the War Manpower Commission,
working through the United States
employment service, should be empow
ered to require all men between the
ages of 18 and 65 to enter one of a
prescribed list of essential war indus
tries, with penalties for failing to do
so carrying a maximum of $10,000
fine and 10 years imprisonment, to be
enforced by the United States District
courts.
Another bill was passed which will
require prospective members to at
tend three meetings before being ad
mitted to Membership in the Di.
A report of the portrait committee
by Bob Morrison revealed that all por
traits of former Di members which
were in various buildings on the cam
pus with the exception of three have
been located and moved to the senate
chamber. One of the missing portraits
is that of Gov. Zebulon Vance. Any
one who may know of its whereabouts
is requested to contact the Di. '

close to becoming a professional box

and. had any such ambition knocked
out of him.
At DePauw University he copped

a Phi Beta Kappa key and a wife. His
years there may very easily be termed
"successful," although they were but
scarcely significant of the heights he
was later to reach.
Scheduled to address the campus
Tuesday, "January 30 at Hill Hall,
Lilienthal, second Carolina Political
Union speaker of the trimester, was
only 33 when, after having won the
attention of President Roosevelt for
his work in reorganizing the Minne
sotautilities regulations, he was ap
pointed one of the three original di
rectors of the newly-authorized Tenn

Roosevelt designated him chairman of
the board of directors.

Proposals for a governmen't project
of the size of TVA in competition with
private enterprises at first caused
widespread fear of socialism. Lilien

been true. In ten years the results
have been the establishment of "new

formally resign when he turns his
resignation over to the Student Leg
islature when that body convenes
Thursday night in regular session.
Since last spring when Horace
Carter was elected editor of the Tar
Heel for the summer and this year,
the Tar Heel has been directed by
three different editors. Two PU
Board appointments, one v for editor
and one for acting editor, the latter
having the approval of the Legisla
ture, filled the gaps between the time
for student elections. Wickenberg,
the third editor of the Tar Heel in
the last nine months, was the only
one of the three elected by the stu
dent body.
The PU Board in its regular meet
ing last Friday afternoon was con
fronted with the possibility of the
Tar Heel stopping publication. Wick
enberg's resignation from the execu
tive post of the Tar Heel leaves a gap
which will be difficult to fill. Manag
ing Editor Fred Flagler told the
board that he felt he could not under
take both positions for the remainder
of the term. The Legislature, there
fore, has only a short time either to
stage an election or make appoint
ment to fill the position. j
There has been considerable com-J
ment about just how the post will he
filled, but nothing will' be definite
until the Legislature convenes. As has
been the custom in the past the PU
Board wilt meet to decide upon whom
to recommend for the position. The
Legislature "will receive the recom
mendation and may or not pass ap
proval. Margaret Woodhouse, presi
dent of the PU Board, has called a
special meeting of the board for
Thursday afternoon because the board
could reach no decision on the matter
at its regular session Friday.
The reason for Wickenberg's resig
nation was made clear in a statement
Sunday night. Wickenberg pointed out
that he was resigning because he felt
that his first obligation was to his
academic work and the Marine Corps.
He stated that he thought the only
solution to his problem of carrying
on his academic program was a resig
nation. Wickenberg, who hails from Colum
bia, S. C, has taken part in several
extra-curricular activities on the
campus. He is a member of the Cam
pus Cabinet, of Graham Memorial
Board of Directors, the Interfraternity
Council, Sigma Nu fraternity and the
student sesquicentennial committee

Group Revises
Fee Allotments
' By Sarah Spratt
Fred Flagler, managing editor of
the Tar Heel and junior member of
the Publications Union Board, intro
duced a motion to the PU Board last
Friday which was passed and gave
the Yackety Yack $1,700 more for'
publication this year if the money is
needed.
Junior Member Flagler proposed
that the publications fee be appor
tioned more diversely. The former ap
portionment of the $6.90 charged an
nually to a civilian student was $4.50
for the Tar Heel, $1.05 for the Caro
lina Magazine and $1.35 for the
Yackety Yack. The hew apportion
ment gives the Tar Heel $3.50, Caro
lina Mag $1.05 and the Yackety Yack
$2.35.
At the beginning of the year,
Cookie Marett, editor of the Yackety
Yack argued that the PU Board fees
were not fairly distributed among the
three publications. She asserted that
the Tar Heel received too much from
me puDiicauons diock iee as com
pared with the yearbook allotment
arid its importance as a school publi
cation. Despite the fact that nothing
was done about the needs of the year
book at that tiirie, the staff of the
Yack worked assiduously to provide
sufficient funds to compensate for the
! difference in the cost of the book
planned and the cost of the book as
set aside by the PU Board budget.

Enrollment Drop
Is Predicted For
Spring Semester
University official predict only .a
slight decrease in the total enrollment
with the beginning of the new semes
ter on March 5. At least 20 male
freshmen and about 25 new coeds are
expected to enter at that time, thus
replacing many who will be lost due
to graduation or other courses.
The civilian enrollment for the pres
ent semester reached 1,811, exceeding
all estimates that had been made, how
ever, withdrawals have been, heavy
during recent weeks. Of the number
originally registered, there were 886
men and 925 women students. About
100 war veterans are registered, and
a few more are expected for the spring
semester.
At present, the University has a
total of 812 military "students. A
maximum of 60d and a minimum of
540 has been set at the military quota
for next semester.
Officials expect about 110 graduates
in Februoryy including "coeds, civi
lians and military students.

on a pictorial review of North Caro

Howland told reporters that he and
Benzur had traveled over 2,500 miles
over the state and had taken some 800
shots of North Carolina individuals
and scenes. In other words said How
land, "We have traveled all, the way
from Murphy to Manteo."
Considering North Carolina as the
balanced state, Howland said that pic
tures taken here and elsewhere
throughout the state are to be used
in a pictorial layout of the education,
scenery, industry and people.

Carolina Workshop
Meets Wednesday
To Discuss Plans
The Council of the Carolina Work
shop will meet at 4 p. m. Wednesday
in the Horace Williams Lounge at
Graham Memorial to discuss plans for
the year.
The Carolina Workshop was organ
ized in 1942 to encourage creative
work on the part of the students in
all the art fields on campus. It
serves as a central point for students
of Journalism, Fine Arts, Music,
Dance, Dramatic Art and Radio who
are themselves creative artists. The
aim of the Workshop is to draw to
gether the students in the various art
fields and to promote public showings
of their works.
Highlighting their activities is the
Carolina Workshop Festival, held in
the spring of each year, at which the
year's crop of creative work is ex
hibited and publicized. Prominent
names in various art branches at
tend, and students meet and talk in-:
formally with these guests.
The Council, chosen earlier in the
year by student officers who were
elected last year to carry on activi
ties of the organization this year,
consists of two students and one
faculty member (who serves in an
advisory capacity only) from the de
partments of Journalism, Fine Arts,
Music, Dance (Physical Education),
Radio and Dramatic Art, and one
student representative from Sound
and Fury, the Tar Heel and the Caro-
ina Mag.

All seniors who haven't had pic
tures taken for the Yackety Yack
are asked to make appointments
with Wooten-Moulton by Wednes
day of this week.
