Newsome Upholds FDR After Di Senate Debate New Campus Organization Law To Give Purpose To Bull Sessions That bull session on the third floor of Mangum will soon be organized to become an integral part of student government procedure under the new campus organization bilL The Legislature's newest act pro vides that the campus be divided resi dentially into 490 discussion groups. This will mean that the occupants of rooms 301, 302, 303, 304 and 305 Man gum will probably form one group to discuss af airs of importance. From this and about 399 other groups will come, sponsors of the bill hope, the real, coherent opinions of the student body. They also hope that it will create interest in student government among the rank and file of students so that future decisions can be more nearly the decisions of the majority. Dave Morrison, president of the stu dent body and already chairman of many committees, has had two more chairmanships added to the list by the law. On him rests the responsibility of getting the organization organized. He has already begun work on the technicalities of arranging the groups in town, fraternity and dormitory. He will appoint for the Legislature's approval a 40-member adminsitrative committee to start the wheels turning. The administrative - committee will elect from its number ten members of the executive committee. Morri son will serve as chairman of both. Each of the 40 members will serve as chairman of a section, directly su pervising about ten chairmen of the bull-session groups. ; The 400 group chairmen will be elected by the in dividual groups. American Federation sed Propo Hitler Confers With Laval; U.S. Requisitions New Planes "President Roosevelt will be termed by future historians as one of the greatest presidents this country has lad, because of his far-reaching social and domestic policies," said Dr. A. R. Newsome, University history profes sor, in a short talk following a formal debate last night-on the floor of the Di senate covering the subject of the third term. Dr. Newsome's statement reflected the sentiments of the Di which passed the bill entitled, "Resolved, that Roosevelt shall be elected to serve a third term," after a lengthy discussion including prepared addresses by Ar thur Link, Carrington Gretter, Randall McLeod, and Truman Hobbs, and im promptu speeches by members of the senate and visitors to the hall. Review of Roosevelt Administration McLeod opened the debate with a summary of the Roosevelt adminis tration, calling special attention to the fact that the President "has the con fidence of the American people," while "Willkie's spectacular appeal is based on his appearance as a "dark horse in the pre-campaign Republican line- (Continued on vage 4, column 2) British Fight Off German Warbirds By United Press BERLIN, Oct. 22 Adolf Hitler conferred today somewhere in France with Vice-Premier Pierre Laval of the Petain government, and Nazis in timated that important diplomatic moves during the next 48 hours may bring Spain into "more active" sup port of the Nazis.

The meet ing will be held in the Grail room of Graham Memorial at 7:30. Dr. Zimmerman is considered par ticularly well-informed on the prob lems of Puerto Rico because last year he was in charge of research work on a special project of the federal government to investigate the economic plight, of Puerto Rico. His report has not yet been made public. In 1929 Dr. Zimmerman served on a six-man commmee . which aisu in vestigated the problems which had arisen at that time on the island. Those students who have interest in inter-American relations are urged to attend the meeting and to apply for membership.

A special committee, authorized by the Student Legislature after the abolition of the Buccaneer, suggested that immediate action be taken to begin work on the new publication. It was not clear late last night whether or not a special session of the legislature would be called to con sider the proposals of the committee. Detailed Plan Offered Basing its recommendation on the belief that "the editing of the unsuc cessful publication had grown to ex press the ideas and opinions of one man the Editor," the committee of fered a detailed plan to the legislature !' for the formation of a more repre sentative staff. The group suggested that the new magazine's staff be composed of an editor-in-chief to be elected by the student body, a managing editor, fea ture editor, cartoon editor, photo edi tor, and exchange editor to be ap pointed by the editor-in-chief and ap proved by the. Student Legislature. Contents Subject to Approval Under the new , plan, authority would be transferred from the editor-in-chief alone to his entire staff, com posed of himself and the editors of the various departments. The contents of the magazine would be subject to the approval of the staff with the editor- in-chief -casting, two Votes and . the.

Dissension was noted from the start, when the Tar Mag first team was an nounced as forming around Adrian Spies, with the sports staff filling in other positions. ' Although the Tar Mags were going to play the Yackety Bucs, alias the Yackety-?, the campus' big contest will now probably be an elimination series between the news and sports staffs, and maybe with the editorial and business ' departments joining in the jealous battle for the dubious honor of playing the Yackety-?. Rebellion Bursts Forth Although the Tar-Mag first team as announced at first is said in most circles to he the best combination pos sible, the news department has rebell ed. The team was to have lined up with Adrian Spies, ace" fraternity league passer, at tailback, and Leon ard Lobred, . -Harry .

Come On, Big Team Who would form such a team as the news department is holding out for no one knows. Leaders on the news staff have not yet submitted a starting line-up. Don Bishop, editor would probably captain the second team, backed up by Rush Hamrick, Lou Harris, Slugger Campbell, Fred Cazel, and Rib Bowman. Although no challenge has yet been received by the recognized first team for the Tar-Mags, the possibility, still exists that a championship series may be necessary to determine which ag gregation will play the Yackety-?.
