Every member of the student body is entitled to vote for the rulers of the Spring Carnival. This was stressed again in an executive meeting of the WAA when Breezy Breazeale an nounced "Every one can vote this year." Last year the queen was elected by the boys, and the coeds elected the court. The queen of festivities will be chosen from the following girls: Diddy Kelly, Peggy Lou Futrelle and Mary Booth Frances. The highest number of votes will be queen; the other two will be her maids of honor. Quite a few new arrangements have been made concerning the festival. Fur ther announcements will be made by Miss Breazeale later. tical engineering at the University, Mann held a commission as a first lieutenant in the infantry of the United States Army. A native of Whitakers, Lieutenant Mann was graduated from State Col lege and from there went to Lock Haven. Pennsylvania where he was employed by the Piper Cub airplane company. He later spent a year in charge of the Civilian Pilot Training at the University of Virginia and then came to Chapel Hill to head the Horace Williams airport. In his year and a half here, Mann has not only managed the airport and served in the capacity of CAA coor dinator, but he has also taught all the ground school classes in CAA training, handled the flight instruc tion, and ferried planes bought or turned in by the University to and from factories. '' , Serving as temporary ground school instructor until a new coordinator has been appointed is Roy Hutchinson, an advanced flight student, while in tem porary charge of Horace . Williams airport is Bob Tillett, Mann's former secretary. Mann's successor has not as yet been appointed, but it is believed that L. R. Harkinson, professor of aero nautical engineering at State College may come here. Unsold Books To Be Returned The Carolina Cooperative Book Store, open today for the last time until the end of the quarter, will re turn unsold books and take care of other unfinished business with any students from 2 to 4 o'clock. Curry Jones, co-op store manager, announced yesterday that all those students who have books still unsold at the co-op may get them back to day. 4 Two other courses are open to these students, however, Jones pointed out. Students may leave the books with the co-op to be sold at the end of this quarter, or they may authorize the co op to sell them for second hand books to larger concerns with which the co op has established connections. "The store will open again one or two weeks before the end of the spring quarter, and, in all probability, will be open during the summer school See CO-OP STORE, page U Quarter-Hour Alarm Begins At 11:30 Here OCD Stresses Seriousness Of War Defense UP NOMINEE, E.

For the first time since the entrance of the United States in to World War II, local citizenry and students alike will see the grimness of blitzkrieg protection settle around them and their homes. Beginning "on the dot of 11:30" to night, all the lights in the town of Chapel Hill will be blanked, and the blackout will last until 11:45. Full instructions to all students are print ed in the fifth and sixth columns of today's Tar Heel. OSCD officials urge that these rules be studied by all stu- dents. Air raid wardens have been meet ing and 'training for the last week in preparation for tonight's fake raid. This is merely one in a series of drills that will be conducted by the Chapel Hill Office of Civilian Defense in co operation with the OSCD. Officials have said that a general blackout or der may be expected from army head quarters without warning, and that tonight's practice session is one of preparation for this order. A thorough check-up on the effec tiveness of the blackout will be made by bands of local and student defense chiefs. All infractions of the regula tions will be reported, and all areas not properly blacked out will be repri manded. Officials stated that other practice drills may have to be held "shortly." Lou Harris, OSCD chief, said, in emphasizing the importance of the drill: "The impression that many stu dents have gathered that the War, as far as Chapel Hill and the University is concerned, is merely a small group of students playing around to amuse themselves, must go. This is serious just as serious as the blackout prac tices in great munitions centers, where the danger is apparently great er." Chapel Hill "may be an enemy objective," Harris prophesied and pointed out the Naval Unit, air port, and munitions lactones planned in Carrboro. Main switches in all dormitories will be thrown at 11:30, but it is es sential that each student turn off the individual room lights to save the strain on the central power plant. Independent Coeds To Elect WGA Slate Independent coeds and stray Greeks will meet tonight at 7 o'clock in the banquet hall of Graham Memorial to elect a slate of nominees for WGA and WAA offices, Elsie Lyon, presi dent of CICA announced yesterday.

The family which has its headquarters in Earl Kastner's room has disrupted life in Lewis. No longer is it possible to stay up late because the babies might be disturbed.

The Mag is Up Reporter Quizzes Campus; Students Okay Baby Esquire By Burke Shipley , A Daily Tar Heel poll to determine the reaction to the New "Baby Es quire Carolina Magazine has iouna from a representative group that the campus likes the new magazine bet ter than the two present ones. How ever, opinion was more divided on the question "Would you prefer a combination magazine of this nature (New Carolina Mag) to the fwopres- ent ones?" The figures for combina tion were 14, for two separate maga zines, o. This reporter has asked the fol- owmg (and several more) to give heir opinion of the New Carolina Mag: literary expression, but there is a place for two different type maga zines on the campus." Cy King, sophomore : "The. New Mag is very good and should replace the two present ones as it can serve the purpose of a campus magazine better." Max Harris, sophomore: "The New Carolina Mag is not entirely off a literary basis and has a better varie ty of reading matter, so that a maga zine of this type could represent the campus better than the old Mag and Tar an' Feathers." Fred Broad, senior: "I don't like the New Mag, because it represents an attempted departure from a col- Edith Fromme, senior: The New legiate type mag.
