Bill Crisp, Vice-President of the Student Body, clarified the council's

Selected From 55
A 1"
Accoramg to an announcement
made by the Federal Council of the
Churches of Christ of America, Dr.
Howard Washington Odum has been
chosen to receive the Edward L. Ber
nays award for outstanding achieve
ment in negro-white relations.
The award, a $1,000 war bond, is
being donated by Bernays, New York
public relations counselor, through
the council's department of race re
lations. Dr. Odum was chosen from among
55 candidates because of his ac
complishments in improving negro
white relations' in the South, and for
outstanding public services as an au
thor, -professor in southern universi
ties, and a leader in organized move
ments. Dr. Odum, who is well known here
as head of the Department of Sociolo
gy came to the University in 1920
at which time he organized the De
partment of Sociology and the School
of Public Welfare. In 1922 he estab
lished "Social Forces," which has
since beeome the official journal of
the Southern Sociological Society.
The Institute for Research in Social
Science at the University was estab
lished by Dr. Odum in 1924.
His books and articles date back
to 1909 and include not only research
into the social and economic condi
tions surrounding negroes in this
country and their relations to whites,
but also studies in negro literary and
musical fields. His latest book, "Race
and Rumors of Race, a Challenge to
American Crisis, was published m
1943.
. Known throughout the country for
his many works of social research,
Dr. Odum is a member of several
literary and sociological societies. He
has held professorships at Emory and
the University of Georgia, and since
1920 has been Kenan Professor for
Research in Social Science at the Uni
versity.
Five nationally-known race rela
tions experts were judges in selecting
Dr. Odum for the award: Dean Wil
liam H. Hastie, Howard University
School of Law; Dr. Leslie Pinckney
Hill, President, State' Teachers Col
lege, Cheney, Pa.; Virginius Dabney,
Editor, Richmond Times-Dispatch;

-floor during meets concerned with
policy making, orientation or admin-
istration, if they have been in attend
ance regularly. Crisp also stated that
the Council has the right to invite
any member of the Student Body or
of the Faculty to give advice or sug
gestions to the Council if that body
deems it advisable.
It was brought out that during the
past one and a half years, due to the
accelerated program, and the filling
of vacancies by appointment, save
only the President of the Student
Body, the contact between the Stu
dent Council and the students on the
campus has grown thinner and thin
ner. Therefore the Council decided to
inform the Tar Heel of action taken:
on every case on which it sat, and to
advise the Tar Heel of all matters of
policy and administration formed by
the Council. This policy will
mence immediately.
com-
Also, to facilitate greater effn
ciency m Council proceedings, form
cards have been ordered on which
students will register pertinent in
formation about themselves at each
registration period. Jean Rankin,
President of 1 the Women's Honor
Council, stated that the Women's Gov
ernment Association was in agree
ment with such a plan.
A wider and more complete pro
gram of orientation on the -principles,
of the Honor-System will be institut
ed soon.

Plans Formulating
For Final Dance
Mary Hill Gaston, sponsored by
Kappa Alpha in the current "Miss
Victory" bond-selling drive conducted
by the War Coordination Board,
stands in first place in the race for
the title with a total of 21,233 votes.
Lou Hull, sponsored by Alderman,
is in second place with 13,588 votes.
In third place is Nancy Kennickell,
sponsored by CICA, with 11,763
votes. Coming up this week from
eighteenth to fourth place is Winkie
White, co-sponsored by Tri-Delta and
ATO, with 6,713.- Markie Parsons,
sponsored by Pi Kappa Alpha, goes
from fourth to fifth place with 5,021
of the Law School is sixth with 4j
255 votes. ' . '!
Through Wednesday of this week,
when last count of votes and bond and
stamp purchases was made, sales
have totaled $8,250.25, over $5,000
above sales at this stage in last
year's drive. "Foolish Nobody's
James," the cardboard airplane hung
in the Y, has received 35 per cent of
its coloring, meaning over a third of
the drive's $25,000 quota has been
reached. !
Kitty Kelly, chairman of the War
Coordination Board sponsoring the
drive, has announced that the method
of signing up for bonds has been al
tered. Purchasers from now on are to
fill out a green slip at the Y booth, tell
the girl at the booth what size bond
they intend to buy, and then fill out
a vote slip. They take the green slip
to the bank or post office, where they
buy the bond and get the green slip,
which is left there, officially stamped.
The War Board collects these appli
cations from the bank or post office,
matches them with the votes, and dis
qualifies any votes not properly au
thorized by bond slips.
A list of names of people whose
votes have been so disqualified will be
posted in the Y. For the benefit of
those who have signed bond slips in
the Y up until Wednesday, the 24th,
they are given until next Wednesday,
the 31st, to buy their bonds and have
their votes properly authorized.
Moral: Buy your bond the day you
sign for it in the Y.
Plans are progressing for the mam
moth Victory Dance to be held Satur
day night, February 17, in Woollen
gymnasium. Freddie Johnson and his
orchestra will play and all 26 coeds
sponsored in the contest will take
part in the figure. The winner will be
crowned "Miss Victory," and the two
runners-up will also be honored. A
raffle of merchandise donated by
Chapel Hill merchants will be con
ducted, highest bond bids taking the
articles, and war stamp corsages will
be sold. Faye Pushkin and Fran Cely
are dance chairmen.

Lilienthal Laughs As Well As
Talks Says Jonathan Daniels
By Gloria Caplan
David E. Lilienthal, TVA chieftain, who will speak here Tuesday night,
"grins, wide and shrewd," Jonathan Daniels says, "and there is none of the
wiue-eyeu staring oj. uie j wjpian m ins
!J. J x J? it. . ITl - i
gram" will be the topic of Lilienthal's
speech, which is scheduled for 8:30
p.m. Tuesday in Hill HalL
Vigorous proponent of "grass-roots
democracy," the speaker is the na
tion's leading authority on making
democracy work in government enter
prise, for the principles he has put
into practice in the administration of
the immense $750,000,000 TVA pro
gram serve as models for all other
government undertakings.
The success of the TVA has been
directly attributed to its chairman
and his policy of cooperation with and
education of the farmer, townsman, la
bor leader and businessman. He very
vigorously denies that administrators
are supermen and insists that "plans
concocted by supermen and imposed
upon the rest of the community for its
own good" are doomed to failure.
Lilienthal has maintained a rigidly
non-political administration. TVA
has full control over its personnel, hir
ing and firing on a merit system, giv
ing no civil service protection and
permitting no political- activity other
than voting.
Much of his success has been the re
sult of his own fighting spirit and his
refusal to forsake a cause he knows
to be right. For several years he was
pitted in a struggle with Wendell L.
Willkie, then president of the Com
monwealth and Southern Corporation,
a utility holding company. Negotia
tions ended in a TVA victory when in
1939, constituting the largest utility
transaction in the history of the coun
trv. the entire Tennessee -Electric
Power company was purchased by the
TVA and a group of 35 municipalities
and cooperatives for $78,600,000.
Mr. Lilienthal set down the story
of TVA's experience in "grass roots

Wickenberg Decides
To Continue Post -As
Tar Heel Editor
Charles Wickenberg, who stated
in the last issue of the Tar Heel
that he would resign, effective this
issue, his post as editor of the Tar
Heel, has retracted this statement
and has planned to continue in his
capacity as editor of the Tar Heel
for the rest of the term at least.
' Adjustments in Wickenberg's
curriculum made it possible for him
to continue, as he. stated that this
was the foremost reason for his
resignation.
Wickenberg never actually re
signed. He had planned to turn in
his resignation to the Legislature
which met .Thursday ' night. He
changed his mind, however, before
last Thursday so the Legislature
did not have to take action to fill
the post which was supposed to be
vacant after this issue.
Navy Recruiter Here
Chief F. O. Carver, Jr., of the Ra
leigh Navy Recruiting office will be in
Dr. Perry's office at 207 South on Mon
day, January 29. Chief Carver will
discuss the Radar and Air Crewmen
Program in particular and in the Navy
in general. All boys who are inter
ested in any Navy programs are asked
to make appointments with Dr. Per
ry's office to see the recruiter.
Seniors Elect
Class Officers
In a mass meeting of the Senior
class last Tuesday, officers of the next
graduation class were elected with
what was probably the smallest repre
sentation of the senior class in the his
tory of the University.
Only seventeen votes were cast in
the election and it is estimated that
there are at least 110 students who
will graduate from the University at
the end of this term.
The officers that were elected were
president, Charley Hackney; vice
president, . Bill McLain; Lois Cran
ford", secretary and treasurer; and Bob j
Shaw, Chairman of the invitation
committee. Lois Cranford was un
animously selected to fill the post of
secretary and treasurer.
Ed Gaither, chairman of the elec
tion committee, called for nominations
for the class officers in a legislature
meeting but since it brought no re
sponse the election committee with the
suggestion of Dean Mackie called a
mass meeting of the class.
Race Lead
Plan Change
For Vet. Class
To Two Hours
4-Fs Included
In Proposal
A bill requesting that the Student
Welfare board of the University rec
ommend a group of proposals provid
ing for not more than two hours of
physical education a week for 4-F's
and returned war veterans on cam
pus was brought before the Student
Legislature at the weekly meeting
Thursday evening.
No discussion took place on this
bill.
Libba Wiggins, Chairman of the
Ways and Means committee, intro
duced the bill along with two other
bills: one involving the approval of a
budget for. Student Council and Stu
dent Legislature for the fiscal year
July 1, 1944, through June 30, 1945;
and the other providing for funds
($5.00) to help construct a campus
bulletin board, probably next to Ger
rard hall.
Proposed Budget
Speaker Doug Hunt took the floor to
interpret the proposed budget, ex
plaining the various appropriations.
Discussion followed which will be conr
tinued next meeting when this bill as
well as the other two bills will be
voted upon by Legislature members.
A. B. Smith, speaking for Ed
Gaither, Chairman of the Elections
committee, read senior class officers,
elected in a mass meeting of the class
in Gerrard hall Tuesday. The Leg
islature voted to accept the officers.
Difficulties encountered when nominat
ing Marine candidates to the Honor
Council will be investigated and
brought before the next Legislature
meeting.
Smith called attention to attend
ance rules which allow no more than
two unexcused absences from Legisla
ture meetings before the member is
automatically dropped. Bruce Wins
low, Naval ROTC, having already ac
cumulated two unexcused absences,
submitted his resignation because of
increased academic work. Ed Twohey,
another ROTC, was automatically
dropped from the Legislature in view
of his three unexcused absences. Two
ROTC students to replace these mem
bers will be elected within 10 days ac
cording to provisions made in the Con
stitution. Dr. Hart Lectures
To Coed Conclave
On Marriage
By Marjorie Jordan
The January Coed Hour, sponsored
jointly by the Coed Senate and the
YWCA, was held Thursday night at
7 o'clock in the Methodist Church
auditorium.
Dr. Hornell Hart, professor of so
ciology at Duke University and au
thor of "Chart for Happiness," spoke -bn
"Men and Women in Wartime."
Dr. Hart began his talk by noting
thje changes caused by war, and pre
dicting an unprecedented rise in the
divorce rate in the next ten years.
Many marriages which avoid the di
vorce courts will nevertheless end in
unhappiness. He pointed out that
wartime conditions are greatly in
creasing the percentage of women
who will never marry, and who will
attempt instead to achieve success in
careers.
However, it is possible, Dr. Hart
stated, for young people of today to
make a success of marriage if they
earnestly strive for the harmonious
adjustment of their personalities. He
pointed out that the better young
people know one another before mar
riage, the greater is their chance for
happiness. .
Dr. Hart closed by advising the
coeds to use their heads, their hearts,
their personalities, and their charm
in their attempts to maintain har
monious relations in their future
homes.
