Union officials, who released plans for the poll yesterday, said that five questions covering most of the recent trends in world affairs would give a fair working- indication of just where student opinion lies today. Heading the Union's list of quer ies, will be President Roosevelt's "most pressing problem" in view of recent war developments, namely aid to Russia. Students will be asked, "Do you favor aid to Russia?" Then turning to the home scene, and following closely on the heels of Presi dent Graham's convocation address demanding that the Neutrality Act be repealed, the Union questions, "Should the Neutrality Act be repealed?" Inspired by the continual sinking of American owned or operated ships, in spite of President Roosevelt's recent warnings, the Union next asks, "Should America now make total war against Germany?" Fourth -question on- the poll, divid ed into two parts to avoid any possi ble ambiguity concerns Japan's pre dominant role in the Far East. "Should America use military force if Japan attacks: (a) British pos sessions in the Far East? (b) Amer ican possessions?" Delving into a post-war Europe and America's part in it, the Union asks, "Should America assume the respon sibilitv for neace plans after the war?" Opinion last May was split. Though , questions have been changed to meet the more recent emergencies, it was immediately recognized yesterday that they include the same vital is sues. ' Approximately 2,000 students went to the noils last May. and results showed : An'overwhelmingly three to one ma iority against America's immediate war declaration against Germany. A 51 per cent majority favoring the use of American convoys.

Tar Heels on Hand Super Personality Is Leader Of Carolina's By Ed Lashman There's a super personality loose i mi on tne campus, xnis person is re sponsible for a great deal - of noise around here on Friday nights and Saturday afternoons. - This person weighs approximately 1251 pounds, stands about 51' 6" tall, is approximately 171 years old. The people who know this person know v"1 " . . . that his (her or its) main charactens- , v . . . tic is a gripping, msiduous spontane ous rhythm. He (she or it) is un usually gracefully, athletic, peppy, a a Don't Get It? If -you don't get this, it's a compo site of the three-woman, six-man, pep- conscious cheering squad that works 81 man hours a week just practicing all the strenuous cavortings that amuse and delight and , sometimes arouse you and Johnny Green to utter an . occasional "Rah." Tri-angular faced, lanky, mountain understand contemporary problems, and to appreciate the significance of proper world reorganization after the present strife, Dr. Graham, directed his remarks to the orientation week group of student leaders. Injecting pertinent questions into the issue, Charles Nice asked wheth er or not it would be a good idea to start an ISS on the campus. Dr. Gra ham replied that he thought it would be a "good idea," hinting that it would be a means to solving the problems he mentioned, and remark ing that the only thing it stood for was a pledge to democracy. Student Body President, Truman Hobbs, then appointed Nice as chair man for a local ISS group. Tempora ry plans, termed as "decidedly loose" would call for informal meetings of the group, and for the posting of reading lists to keep students "in formed". Minority problems were discussed. Students asked Dr. Graham: "Should the campus keep its traditional poli cies of having platforms open to minorities?" "Without limitation", Dr. Graham responded. "However," he said, "I would not over-stock the minority speakers simply because they are the minority. The majority is just as sacred," he warned. This , meant, of course, that Nye, indbergh, Wheeler, Clark, and others representing the "minority viewpoint" would continue to find a place on speaker's platforms in Chapel Hill.
