the membership to 65.
Dr. Chang, Chinese exchange
proiessor, discussed the new
and old educational methods in
China. Under the old system, he
explained, good students were
given jobs in the city govern

This system started. about 600
years ago and has been dropped

University students will have
opportunity of flying over

be in Chapel Hill tomorrow and
Thursday. The plane will be
brought here by Ray Loomis,
a graduate of -the United States

Texas.
The plane will land at the air
port, two miles north of Chapel
Hill. During the two-day stay
here, passengers will be taken up
for prices ranging from 30 to
60 cents.
Having 14 years' experience
as an aviator, Pilot Loomis has

Tomorrow the student body

The poll was precipitated by
a recommendatory letter to .the
student body drawn up by Flet
cher Ferguson, secretary of the
Publications Union Board, at a
joint meeting of the Board and
editors of the four campus pub
lications October 5. The letter
explained that under present
conditions the heretofore high

not be maintained.
Following up this recommen

Student Council met on October

for the student body to express
its opinion pro or con on the

The stated reason for the pro

that for the last two years; the
increase in expense has quad

the site for the ballot boxes with
voting hours from 9 in the morn

The student government fee
for each student is now 20 cents
per year. For the past few
years this amount has not been
enough for the student govern
ment and its activities, and stu
dent government began this
year wita a ueficit of approxi
mately $200.
Insufficient Funds
Because of the insufficient
amount of funds available, stu
dent government has been great
ly handicapped in carrying out
its activities and furthering the
welfare of the student body. .
For this reason the student
council has asked the student
body to vote for the increase in
the student government fee of
10 cents per year per student,
which will increase the fee to
30 cents per year that each stu
dent will pay- i
