Future Generals CVTC Unit Organized to Aid Country's Military Program By Charlie Kessler The Carolina Volunteer Training Corps was organized because of the necessity of training competent Army officers immediately to aid the nation al defense effort. Colonel W. A. Raborg, head of the unit, yesterday stated that "the organi zation will attempt to aid the country's military program by giving as many students as possible some military training, with particular stress to those of potential officer caliber."

Jenkins, CVTC major, TTTTT" H i w alter JbiDDmann To Address NCPA Tonight at VisitingCarolina Newsmen Speculate On Subject of Commentator's Speech CAROLINA MERRY-GO-ROUND By Paul Komisaruk and Ernie Frankel DTH Reviews Mag Situation Eight Facts Listed To Clear Confusion In an effort to clear up the confusion surrounding Henry Moll's proposals to issue a 64-page "trial combination" issue of the Carolina Mag in March, the'DTH lists these salient facts: -- (1) Tar an' Feathers and the Mag will not be combined this year, as one of each is to come out every month, including the month of March. (2) However, the March Mag will be a 64-page "trial combination issue (pending financial approval of the PU Board Friday). That means in March students will receive the usual monthly Tar an' Feathers and the 64-page experimental issue. Trial Issue (3) The "trial issue" offers a con crete idea of what a merger of both magazines would lofk like, and leaves the decision up to the student body. Then the students could decide -for themselves whether or not it wanted a merger for next year by a CPU poll the week following publication. (4) Mag Editor Henry Moll is edit ing the 64-page issue, but both Tar an' Feathers and Mag members are working overtime to make it possible. (5) The student body appears to favor the "trial issue" in March, now that it knows that neither magazine will be abolished or combined this year. It seems to like the idea of having a sample "trial combination issue." PU Board Meeting (6) Moll will represent the students' viewpoint tomorrow at the PU Board meeting. He will ask for a financial appropriation of $625 for the extra 32 pages. While "the student opinion is that "it's a lot of money" the PU Board has aid in the past that the surplus money it has on hand is for an "emergency."

"We will give a gen eral idea of the way the United States Army is organized and give the men a pre-service training program before they get into the army," he said. Henry Wisebram, Captain adjutant, has had six years of military training at Gordon Military College. Coming here from Barnesville, Georgia, Wise bram is a Commerce major. Although only 18 years old, he holds a Reserve certificate in the Army. It will be his duty to direct the CVTC activities. He will coordinate the work of the three See CVTC, page 4 ,7 :30 little indication of what direction his speech would take, other than inform ing the University News Bureau that he would deal with "some phase of the war. Anti-Isolationist , Observers here last night pointed out to us that Lippmann, for years an ardent anti-isolationist, ' has consist ently warned the United States of its complacency and over-confidence while sitting on an international powder keg. A journalistic bull session, under way last night argued that "he will un doubtedly "follow-up the tone of his columns with a" condemnation of isola latienist pre-war activities and the present lack of a concerted war drive." - Addressing the state's newspaper men, it is probable that the famed political analyst will reiterate his be lief that the 'war can be won, and that all steps leading to ultimate victory must take precedence.

Debate executives will abandon all regular business at a special Monday night session in Graham Memorial banquet hall to make way for individ ual elminations. Carrington Gretter, Debate president, yesterday asserted that Monday's tryouts will be campus wide. . , . ; . University of .Pennsylvania Debate club officials communicated with Gret ter in December to arrange a contest. The inter-collegiate debate will fit into Pennsylvania's southern debating tour. Two Penn debaters will meet two; Carolina representatives at the week f rom-Saturday event,, place of which council officials have not yet determin ed. Timing procedure at the contest will involve two eight-minute affirma tive speeches, followed by single eight minute rebuttals. Identical procedure will be employed at Monday's open try outs. "This Pennsylvania-Carolina debate is designed to help solidify thinking on the role the US will assume in post-war international affairs," Gretter remark ed in defining the event's purpose. Because of confusion resulting in letters crossing in the mails between the two universities' debate associa tions, yesterday's Daily Tar Heel published erroneous statements of the debate topic. Kiwanis Club Hears House Review Book Dean R. B. House yesterday reviewed his book, "Miss Sue and the Sheriff" before several hundred Kiwanis Club visitors. The book, recalling events, circumstances and characters about his 1 boyhood, was acclaimed in the New -York Times. ; .
