SPIRIT "A committee of active Phi Beta Kappas, feeling that the new eligi bility requirements are not in keep ing with the true spirit and ideals of the fraternity, is attempting to re turn to the old standards, which plac ed the primary emphasis on scholar ship where it rightfully belongs," the statement by Carr, Jack Fairley and Lynch Murphy said. The requirements which the com mittee want taken out are that: not fewer than eight nor more than twelve juniors may be admitted; the follow ing factors about a candidate will be considered: the opinion of all of the members -of his major department by whom he has been instructed as to intellect and scholarship ; the opinion of his General College adviser; the opinion of each of the faculty mem bers under whom he has studied; and the general difficulty of the curricu lum followed. If the amendment is repealed, ju nior membership in the fraternity will be unlimited except by the 'amount of work completed "and the grade aver age attained.

Student thought on the college cam- 1 1 r ' pus, liKe puDiic opinion eisewnere nation, is now turning over the nation, is now turning to wards the November elections and the issues tnat are likely to De involv ed. The collegians of the country agree with the American voter that the most important problem jf the day is how to keep the United States out of war. Unemployment comes next. Interviewers for the Student Opin ion surveys, of which the Daily Tar Heel is a member, asked students over the nation "What do you believe is the most important problem fac ing the United States today?" From every section, New England to the deep South, Middle Atlantic to tfie re feasance. Of war. Many other problems were mentioned, as follows : 1. Keeping the U. S. out of war - 4 3 2.

The ques tion of war and finding employment for the jobless are paramount in the minds of most Americans, young and old. Business recovery, however, seems to be more important to the average voter, who placed that third (Continued on page 4, column 5) best he nossibly could. No one can deny that he has succeeded in his many and varied endeavors, and every one who knows Dave Morrison ad mires and respects him for his ac complishments.
