Hunter Lists Committees For
New
Senior Administration
Hobbs And Wall
Are Named As
Committee Heads
. .; By EARL ALEXANDER
v. Benny Hunter, president of the
senior class, .yesterday announced his
. selection of committees for 1939-40.
. Bert Premo was, named as representa
tive to the University Dance commit
tee. Chairmen of the class dance and
executive committees are Vance Hobbs
and Walter Wall, respectively.
Hunter has introduced a new feature
: in that all committees except the dance
committee will have their chairmen sit-
1 ting on the executive body. Under this
plan, all the class committees and f une-
' "tions will be coordinated under one
group and will enable the class to carry
out a more comprehensive program of
'activity.
Hunter, commenting on this new
idea, said, "I hope that this plan of
having subcommittee chairmen on the
executive committee will help unify the
various boards. Its value lies in the
fact that whenever the executive com-
"mittee meets, it will be fully informed
as to the activities of all other groups
that are working on the class pro
' gram." ' '
SIX COEDS
Six coeds were named by the senior
class president to the executive com
'mittee, fulfilling the plan of the senior
administration to allow the coeds an
active part in class affairs.
From theexecutive committee the
following six committees will be form
ed next fall: Senior Week, Invitation,
Cap and Gown, Gift, Ring, and Project
committees.
Members of the committees are:
Representative to the University
r Dance committee: Bert Premo.
Senior class dance committee : Vance
Hobbs, chairman; Dave Murchison,
Mitchell Britt, John Parker, Ben Tur
ner, Joe Hough, Jack Vincent, Ernest
King, Tommy Royster,.. and-Preston
Nesbit. .

Hey, Band Members!

hand who are not planning to stay over

their uniforms immediately.
Notice
To Whom It May Concern, .
Some time during the Winter
Quarter of this year I loaned to a
student in English 59 (Technical
Composition) a sheet listing the
qualifications of a former Univer
sity of North Carolina graduate,
Mr. W. N. Suominen. So far as I
an ascertain, this data sheet has
not been returned. As I am plan
ning to use this in a forthcoming
book, I should be grateful if the
student who has it, and whose name
has escaped me, would be kind
enough to return it at once.
Very truly yours,.

CAMPUS PROBLEMS
Committee Of; Five
Organized By
Student Council
As was specified at the last Campus
Government conference meeting, the
planning committee of the training ses
sion met last Tuesday evening to set
up a committee of five, for the purpose
of studying and making recommenda
tions in the major problems of stu
dent government. The new committee
is composed of Dewitt Barnett, chair
man; Otho Ross, Lee Wiggins, Allen
Green, and JaclTFairley.
Various fields of study were suggest
ed, but the specific problems to be
dealt with, excepting the legislature,
were left to the discretion of the com
mittee. It was made imperative that
the new committee should first study
the problem of the student legislature,
with a view to interpreting its poten
tial functions to the campus, arid call
ing pertinent issues to its attention.
The committee's procedure might oth
erwise be in whatever fields it consid
ered most important,
FUNCTIONS
The planning group suggested that
it could pass some of the issues on to
the legislature if it felt they best fit
ted its functions. For other problems,
the members might work on them them
selves, or appoint sub-committees to
divide the tasks
As suggested by the planning com
mittee to the new group, the problems
to be dealt with deal primarily with
two main topics, the honor system and
the policy of student government. The
training session board pointed out the
possibilities of studying the educa
tional procedure of the Council , with
freshmen, upperclassmen, and faculty,
making recommendations as to how it
can become more effective. To; study

Man Who Makes The "Stiffs"
Stiff Claims That People
Are Not Bought Before Dead
By HUGH BALLARD :
"I don't love it but I like it pretty
well," answered Walter Jones when
he was asked how he liked the job
Of "preparing stiffs" for the medical
students. Walter's job is to "take the
dead bodies and put them in the 'vault'
for a few months. We usually keep
them in there for four or five months,
and the more they stay in there the
better they are," Walter, said. -
"I never did have my hands on a
dead man before I got this job, and
I was scared to death of 'em at first.
I got oyer that though when I acci
dentally knocked a dead man off the
table and had to put it back myself,"

stampless letters are included, the
