Committee Reports Organization Bill
; ; ; . , l
Bj Philip Carden
"Maybe the students don't want a
humor magazine," Dave Morrison
said yesterday as he shook his head in
bewilderment.
He was commenting: on the passive
way in which the student body has
accepted the abolishment of the Buc
caneer and failed to offer any sugges
tions to the committee which is draw
ing up plans for a new humor maga
zine.
Has Met Three Times
The committee has met three times
since it was created by the Student
Legislature two weeks ago and is
working on a typical dummy on which
to base estimates of the cost of the
new magazine.
Heretofore any effort to tamper!

(See page 4 for text of Bill)
The Ways and Means committee of
(the Student Legislature last night com
ipleted its final draft of the campus
organization bill and voted to report
it to the floor of the Legislature
rithout comment.
Bill Cochrane, speaker of the Leg
islature, announced after the commit
tee meeting that a special session will
fee called next Monday night to con
.eider the proposal.
The bill calls for the organization
of an advisory committee to the pres

Four coed dormitories yesterday an- ttoee gtudent

with terrific reaction on the campus.
Last year, when the Student Council
banned the November issue of the

tionary stages and grumbling could
be heard as late as examination week
of the Spring quarter.
When it was banned for a year and
the editor was expelled back in the
twenties as the result of an article
called "Contact Bridge," opposition
was strong enough to support an un
authorized humor magazine called the
Fin Jan. (The name is Japanese for
"cup without a handle.")

Peacetime Draft
Will Affect
1,000 Students
By Ernest Frank el
A plea to "make today a perfectly
organized and enthusiastically com
pleted answer to the blitzkrieg of the
unfree" was voiced by Dean of Stu
dents Francis F. Bradshaw yesterday
as he completed last-minute plans for
registration today of about 1,000 Caro
lina students in the nation's first
peacetime draft. -He
also announced appointment of
40 registrars.
Dean Bradshaw advised students
who must register that, "Both regis
trars and registrants are responsible
tc the state and federal authorities
for complete, prompt, and accurate
registration. Penalty for failure on
the part of officials or draftees to
comply with the law is punishable by
five years in prison or a $10,000 fine.
Those subject to the law are re
sponsible for informing themselves of
its provisions."
"By act of Congress and Proclama
tion of the President of the United
States, every male citizen or alien on
this day at least 21 years old, but not
yet 36 who is not already in the mili
tary service, must register with his
local board. For the convenience of
students, a student registration is ar
ranged at Woollen gymnasium. To
remove the necessity for standing in
line, 40 registrars have agreed to serve
and students are asked to observe the '
published alphabetical schedule."
"Here, on this campus, where free
dom is so highly praised as free
America organizes itself to protect its
freedom, October 16, 1940, offers many
of us our first answer to" the ques
tion, What can we do ?" t,
Registrars Named
It was suggested by the registration
authorities that students from Orange
county and those from immediately
adjacent counties, who can con
veniently register in their home pre
cinct should register at home. Those
students subject to the draft regulat
ions who live in Chapel Hill town-
ship; must register at the downtown
registration hall.

Town Boys Elect
Five Men To Sit
In Legislature
Seniors Mitchell Britt, Ed Hub
bard, and Bill Smith and juniors
Warren Mengel and Hance Jacquelt
were elected to represent the Town
Boys association in the legislature
at last night's meeting in Gerrard
hall.
Once again a small attendance ham
pered the election and prevented any
spirited balloting from taking place.
In the contest for, secretary of the
association, Baylor Henninger de
feated Bill Packer by a vote of 12 to
10. ;
For senior legislature Mitchell
Britt obtained 21 votes, Ed Hubbard
20, Bill Smith 18, Vaughn Winborne
2. In the junior race for the two leg
islature seats there were only three
nominees, Warren Mengel, Hance
Jacquelt, and Ralph Fenton. There
was some doubt as to Fenton's official
status and he withdrew from the race.
Consequently Mengel and Jacquelt
were automatically elected.
