Of WC Girls
WC Legislature
To Make Report
On Action Tuesday
Woman's college has voiced its wrath
over the appearance of Betty Perry's
"Needles Knitting" in last month's
Carolina Mag by holding mass meet
ings and the drawing up of a petition
to present to our Publications Union.
Last Wednesday night the WC Stu
dent legislature, composed of represent
atives of each dorm and about 12 others
elected by the students, met and heard
the article. Copies of the Mag were
secured and the article read in each
hall of all the dorms. After it was
read, a petition was composed to the
effect that they, the student body, dis
liked the article and requested that the
PU Board here do something about it.
In Shaw dorm, for example, 99 girls
out of 99 signed the petition.
Legislature Action
These petitions are to be handed back
to the Legislature and all action, if
any, will be instituted through that
body. Next Tuesday night, at a mass
meeting, the Legislature will give its
report to the students on any action
it has taken or intends to take. The
WC administration has not taken any
steps and has not expressed any opinion
upon the story or the petition.
Miss Mary F. Bell, associate editor
of The Carolinian, WC newspaper, said,
"When the student body read the article
they were mad as could be, but looked
at it as merely one person's opinion."
She stated that "last month's Mag was
a Greater University issue and while
both State and UNC got pats on tie
back, WC was criticized. This condem
nation was too strong, as every school
has its good points as well as bad ones.
"However, the students," she said,
"do not like the opinion expressed, as
people would read it and think of it
as the opinion of the majority and not
of the individual." As her own opinion,
Miss Bell explained that "evidently the
writer of the story didn't like WC."

letter from the six members of a Com

those who have already begun the
spring session, Mann emphasized.
In addition to this newsgroup for

those who already hold private pilot's
licenses will be instituted if there is
sufficient demand for such a course.
The group would have a minimum of
five students and a maximum of 10
and would begin training by the end
of this week, Mann said. Speed is es
sential and all those interested are
asked to contact Mann today or to
morrow.
The local CAA program is one of
the few in this region which have been
granted additional quotas, Mann an
nounced. Nutrition Course

Students Convene Tomorrow
To Discuss Dance Question
By Hayden Carruth
A mass meeting of the entire University student body has been
called to convene in Memorial hall 7:30 tomorrow night to air both
angles of the dance expenditure clash, Truman Hobbs, president,
announced yesterday afternoon.
Called to "present the question fairly to the students before the
campus-wide referendum on Wednesday," the meeting will present
Questionnaires
Seek Estimates
On Enrollment
Bradshaw Gives
Admission Dates
For New Students
Questionnaires, seeking to uncover a
more accurate and complete tabulation
of curriculum and housing needs for
the spring and summer quarters, will
be distributed to all students early this
week, Dean of Students F. F. Brad
shaw stated yesterday.
Simultaneously, Dean Bradshaw an
nounced that new students, freshmen
and transfers will be admitted both by
examination and on the usual diplomas
on March 21, June 11, and July 22.
To be circulated through the depart
ments in their classes, the questions
are designed to. aid the University of
ficials in their effort "to provide all ne
cessary courses of instruction through
out the two six-week summer terms,
as well as during the three regular
quarters" and to prepare for housing
the expected large enrollment.
The questionnaires ask the present
status of the students, when they next
plan to enroll in the University, and
the courses that they wish to take.
South building officials estimate a
drop in enrollment of around 250 for
the spring' quarter, which they indi
cated was the usual decrease.
Officials Offer
Aid for Student
Co-Op Houses

for students required to vacate the
upper quadrangle to the Naval Air
Cadets.
Assistant business manager, P. L.
Burch, will talk with students inter
ested in establishing cooperative
rooming houses and will advise and
take care of the necessary details.
Burch will be in his office in 101
South building between the hours of

daily. Groups interested in the plan

CHAPEL HILL'S BIGGEST NEWS story of the year was heralded by
this telegram. Received in South building at 9:07 Friday Feb. 27, it
contains official announcement by the Navy department of Carolina's
appointment as one of the four "Annapolises of the Air," where future
seahawks will be pounded into physical fitness preparatory to their
training and future service in the Naval Air Corps. '
a panel, manned by three representa
tives from both factions. The panel
speakers were not named yesterday.
Open Forum
Following the panel discussion will
be an open forum for all students pre
sided over by Bill Cochrane, Graham
Memorial director and member of the
Institute of Government staff.
Information released by Hobbs yes
terday also indicated that the wording
of the referendum ballot will be
changed, omitting all mention of the
figure set by the recent Student legis
lature enactment.
The question of dance expenditure
reduction, which first gathered moss
a month ago and rolled through the
campus leaving a direct breach in cam
pus opinion, will culminate this quar
ter in the referendum Tuesday. A
stormy session of the Student legisla
ture on February 25 ended in a vote
of approval for the cut to $750 for
all dance sets and $400 for single
dances. Although the opening guns of
the meeting brought initial victory to
the opposition, final victory was won
by the bill's proponents.
Opposition Forces
Taking final recourse, the opposi
tion forces, marshalled by Dick Gar
land, Hugh Hole, Sam Means, "arid
Bill Alexander, sought a campus-wide
referendum. Student legislature grants
recourse to referendum under stipula
tions expressed in the constitution: a
tenth of the student body must sign a
petition requesting a referendum and
fifty per cent or more must vote at
referendum polls to make the outcome
effective. Seven hundred and twenty
six students signed the petition pre
sented to Hobbs last Tuesday.
Main points of opposition fall into
three channels :
1. The legislature's dance expendi
tures reduction bill is unrepresentative
of the student body opinion.
2. The legislature has no constitu
tional privilege of acting upen the ex
