Editor of the Daily Tar Heel, Or ville Campbell, publicly declared that the paper would back the proposals set forth by Moll in" a letter to the editor on Tuesday . March Issue Moll proposed that the "combination issue" be printed in March and pe titioned that extra engraving and print ing costs be paid for by the PU Board. As nearly as could be determined yesterday, the campus would approve a trial attempt in March, in spite of the extra expense that it would incurr for the PU Board. It was felt that the almost revolu tionary procedure of presenting two types 'of magazine in one would give the student body a concrete example, with which they could soundly decide any future course of action. Student leaders indicated that the PU Board might be in favor of a com bined issue for next year, for purely economic reasons, but it was question able if the additional engraving and printing costs for 32 extra pages will be accepted by the Board for this trial issue. An estimated $652 would be neces sary for the additional 32 pages. The proposed issue would in no way be "one-sided," it was explained, since plans include members of the Tar an Feathers staff, working with Moll on the combination issue. The PU Board meets Friday after noon, and will examine the proposals. In all probability a fact-finding com mittee will be appointed to investigate fully the problem. J.

Henry Wisebram, student CVTC chief, who spent the week-end in Wash ington, reported the information direct from personal interviews with War Department officials.

This was completely refuted by the Washington allegation that ROTC pol icy will "continue as usual." Reports indicate, however, that many ROTC unit students may be changed from the regular army service to other branches. Quartermaster service was mentioned specifically.

Students, Quizzed on Mag, Give Maze of Varied Views By Jule Phoenix "Should Tar an' Feathers be abol ished?" "Should Tar an' Feathers and the Carolina Mag be combined?" Car olina students give opinions leading to absolutely nothing. Some say "yes"; some say "no"; some say "maybe." v Through the third degree of an in quiring reporter yesterday, a dozen students gave out their opinions of the two Carolina magazines humor and literary. Results obtained ran from one boy who told why the combination would work and who could, make it work to another boy who said "I'm through thinking for the day my classes are over." One student, who asked that his name not be given, remarked, "Combining the two magazines is a good idea. There is nothing in the Tar an' Feathers worth reading anyway, I feel like I'm wasting time when I read it. The combination could be done if the two were worked in together; it would not work if the new magazine were half one and half the other. Henry Moll could make the change and do a good job of it." is necessary for the success of the University's programs," said Louis Harris, student coordinator.

Bob Kohl, stated his opinion brief ly: "The status quo is all right as it is." An unidentified student added, "I would rather combine the two than abolish the Tar an' Feathers, but I like to read both to a certain extent." As if the opinions were not sufficient ly confused, one freshman said the two were exactly opposite, another said there was very little difference between the two. Both boys agreed, however, that both magazines were worthwhile. The coeds didn't agree either. But one coed knows exactly where she stands: "I don't like the Tar an' Feath ers. The Carolina Mag, as it is this year, is what Carolina needs. I don't think the Tar an' Feathers is very funny anyway. Abolish it and give the money to the Carolina Mag." Three coeds, In a rush to get to Glee club practice, did not even" have to touch their heads together to reach an agreement saying, "No. Don't combine or abolish."
