Conference House Clears Dorm Change (The following memorandum was issued last night from Dean of Ad ministration Robert Burton House's office Editor's note.) Some misunderstanding has re sulted from the announcements in yesterday's Tar Heel concerning the dormitory changes resulting from the advent of the V-5 program. May I try to clarify some of these points: 1. No student will be required to vacate his present room before March 23. However, by March 23 the following dormitories are to be vacated: Alexander, Manly, Man gum, Grimes, Ruff in. 2. Reservations for rooms in dor mitories not mentioned above may be made voluntarily until March 15. After March 15, the Cashier's office may assign occupants to rooms hav ing less than three occupants. Reservations can be made official only through the Cashier's office. 3. There will be a general convo cation Monday morning, March 9, 10:30 o'clock in Memorial hall. Pres ident Graham is expected to speak on the V-5 program. 4. Some member of the adminis tration will be in Gerrard hall at See HOUSE, page U Marriage, Family Conservation Conference Held At UNC, Duke The eighth annual Conference on Conservation of Marriage and the Family will be held at the University here and at Duke University April 7, 8, 9, and will again be directed by Dr. Ernest R.

Max Gard ner will enter the suit for Wil liam Hayes Ackland's $1,395,400 estate during the week of March 16. The announcement of the fil ing of Carolina's intervention mo tion came simultaneously from offices of Attorney General Harry McMullan at the state capitol and Gardner in Washington, D. C, where the plea was filed in the United States District Court. The University will seek the fortune to establish the greatest art school pro ject in the South. Ackland's will stip ulated $300,000 for the building and the rest for any purpose in connection with an art memorial. ; Full Report The Daily Tar Heel will publish a full on-the-scene report of the hear ings, which are expected to continue for several months following Caro lina's intervention. The University's chances of obtain ing the willed fortune are "promising" and "good" according to Gardner, Mc Mullan, Morrison, A. B. Andrews, sec retary of the Board of Trustees, and Governor James Broughton. By our entrance into the suit, Carolina will be standing against descendants of Ackland, who brought the suit, and Rollins College at Winter Park. Florida.' Case for Brain-Men Legal intricacies surround the case. Eighty-four year old Ackland, a Ten nessee investor, made out a will in May, 1936 providing for the establish ment of an art memorial at Duke Uni versity. If Duke refused the money, Ackland stipulated Carolina to re ceive the fortune, and if Carolina were to refuse it, Rollins College would be given the estate. However, Ackland cancelled the early will with a second statement in February 1940, which named Duke as sole recipient of the $1,395,400. Then Duke refused the money, because their acceptance of the Ackland memorial onto the Duke campus, itself a memor ial, might force Washington Duke's estate trustees to cut off Duke Uni See ART MEMORIAL, page U Army Turns Linguist; Books Garnered on Hill If the men of the 178th Field Ar tillery, a unit of the 13th Field Ar tillery Brigade stationed here, do not learn French and Spanish, the town of Chapel Hill and the Uni- See LINGUIST, page 4 state of California. Mexico's legal right to such movements was effect ed in an alliance treaty signed last April by Undersecretary of State Sumner Welles and Dr. Castillo, IRC's Tuesday night speaker.

All students who are at present liv ing in houses in town should report any rise in the rents to OSCD headquarters on second floor Memorial hall. Rises to Be Reported All thoso who will be forced to leave dorm rooms and seek rooms in town should report rents "that seem too high to the office. "Appropriate measures will be taken to correct any undue rise in rents by the Office of Student Civilian Defense working in cooperation with the Ad ministration," said Louis Harris, stu dent defense coordinator. The study to be conducted by Kalin's group will be undertaken immediately, for many students will desire to move into town at the end of the present quarter instead of waiting until the cadets actually arrive. All information of any sort dealing with the rental problem should be re ported, officials requested. Negotiations with town officials to curb rises cannot be carried forth unless adequate infor mation is available. Playwright and Play 'Behold, The Brethren' Plays Final Performance Tonight Tonight at 8:30 "Behold, The Brethren!", a new play of America, by Joseph D. Feldman, will be presented for the last time by The Carolina Playmakers in their theatre here on the campus. The author will be present on leave from Scott Field, HI., where he is sta tioned with the army air force, and The Playmakers plan to make the evening a gala affair. , The play, which has been running thor of "Sermon on a Monday," a one since Wednesday, and has been ac- act play of democratic ideal and "In claimed as one of the best shows The Time, In Space," a radio-play.

The petition backed by 726 signa tures was presented to Hobbs Tues day night, stating that the Student legislature's enactment in slashing dance set expenses to $750 was un representative of campus opinion and asked that resort be made to a refer endum. i Hobbs named Wednesday as refer endum date after approval was signi fied from representatives of pro and con factions in the question. Referendum machinery will be simi lar to that of a campus election, with Honor council and Student council members controlling: its movement. Polls will be established at Graham Memorial, the YMCA, and H dormi tory. The referendum form will be: "1. I favor the emergency act leg islation recently passed by the Stu dent legislature in view of the nation al emergency which limits the dance expenditures of any dance organiza tion to $750 (plus a maximum of $150 for concessions.) "2. I do not approve of the emer gency act legislation of the Student legislature and wish to repeal this act which provides for a cut in dance expenditures." Officials pointed out last night that the campus action will not be initiative. The petition as it was first stated was in the form of an initiative-referendum, which would have required a higher approval' vote. The referendum, if approved Wednesday, will merely wipe out the Student legislature's ac tion and return the dance expendi ture's problem to its status quo; it will not set up any other modified sys tem of cutting any dance expenditures. There will be no limit to expenses if fifty percent or more of the students vote a majority "yes."
