The bill, drawn up by Dean of Men Roland Parker and presented by Wiley Long, states that those present mem bers of the legislature in attendance at summer school will automatically become members, and each legislator who does not return for the summer session may nominate three men for his position, one of whom will be chosen by the speaker. The purpose of" this summer gov erning body is merely to sound out student opinion during the summer. They will have law making powers only during the summer term. At the meeting last night in Ger rard hall, presided over by Speaker W. J. Smith, seven new committee chairmen were chosen. Elected- unani mously as chairman of the finance committee was Roy Strowd, rising juiJor from Chapel Hill. Named to the chairmanship of the ways and means committee was Wiley Long, rising junior from Garysburg. Terrell Webster, rising junior from Gastonia, was unanimously elected to the posi tion of speaker pro-tem. The reading clerk's position will be filled by Sim Nathan, rising senior from Chapel Hill. John Snell, rising junior from Colum bia, received the vote for sergeant-at-arms. New chairman of the elec tions committee will be Bob Spence, rising senior from LaGrange, while Lem Gibbons, rising senior from Ham let, was elected as chairman of the rules committee. Following the adjournment of the legislature, Dean Francis Bradshaw addressed a joint meeting of the legis lature and the University club on some of the problems which will face the student body next fall. "Next fall," stated Bradshaw, "every able bodied undergraduate enrolled in the University will probably be enlisted in either the Navy V-l reserve or in the Army reserve." Student Council Reports Honor Code Case Decisions (Editors Note This report to the students of the Student council decisions of honor violations folloivs the new policy of Bert Bennett, student body president, in publishing decisions and circumstances of honor cases.) Case No. 1: Facts A junior was suspected of violating the Honor System in Chemistry. His paper was found to be simi lar to the person's sitting next to him. The teacher, who noted the similarity, called the two boys back. In the- meantime this student endeavored to "cook up" a story with the other suspected boy and also stated that he would take the -rap" if necessary. It was discovered that he had copied problems on many occasions. The person he copied from testified that ?his junior has received aid by looking on his paper-he denied Itefeton and Opinion-He be suspended from the Univer sity and that a transcript be sent to the Navy in regard to M nenaltv The latter was done because he had already been swot to the Air Corps; consequently this boy will enter thTbranch of service without the Navy knowing of h.s mis council is by no means trying to kick a man when he is down, but the Navy has requested the Council to send an, inflation that would be of help concerning the boys Cll No" t FaCctt-A senior was suspected of violating the HnnTr Svstem throughout his four years by students and feacherf On a monthly quiz he was seen by his professor oktaTon another student's paper.

Bqg'nem : 1887; Circulation: SSS Freshman Vote Today On Yackety-Yack Pics Rising sophomores will vote today on the question of individual pic tures for class members in the 1943 Yackety Yack, so that plans for the yearbook and for collecting fees may be made during the summer, class president Charlie Davis stated yesterday. Voting places will be at the Y and Lenoir Dining hall, opening at 10:30 and continuing until the required number of freshmen have voted. Under a recent decision of the Publications Union Board glossy prints used in the Yackety Yack this year will be saved and used again next year. Through this plan, next year's sophomore, junior, and senior classes will save several hun dred dollars. UDH Shifts Meal Times For Cadets Carolina Students ' Not Yet Affected The University Dining Hall Cafe teria announced today that Carolina students will not be affected this year by the influx of the Naval Pre-Flight cadets. The 242 cadets arriving Thursday will be fed in the small cafeteria, and until the arrival of the next group the large dining hall will not be used by them. This will affect the dinner meal of the students considerably. The cadets will eat at 6, 12, and 6 o'clock; the students will eat at 7:30, 1, and 7 o'clock. E. F. Cooley, manager of the University Dining hall, stated plans were in progress to move up the dinner hour. The meals for the cadets are pre pared by Navy dieticians and are de signed to give twice as many cal ories as the average citizen consumes. Cadets will pass through the line and will be given their meals in aluminum compartment trays. Forty minutes is the maximum time expected to take in feeding the entire group The personnel of the cafeteria will probably be doubled when the Pre Flight school is in full swing. The Oldest fCollege CHAPEL HILL, N. C, WEDNESDAY, MAY 27, 1942 Navy Men, University Authorities Prepare For Arrival of First Air Cadets Tomorrow Debaters Add $560 To Drive Second Council Gift Sends Total Soaring On the heels of yesterday's $200 contribution, Debate council members pushed the scholarship drive over the $1,000 mark with another donation of $559.93, Truman Hobbs stated yester day. Led by Carrington Gretter and Dick Railey, the debaters announced that this sum represented the savings from this year's budget allotment and ac tual expenses. Spencer .dormitory took the coed lead with a $25 donation, followed by Smith with $2.65. The Golden Fleece presented $10. Bill McKinnon, senior class presi dent, called a meeting of the class during commencement for a vote on a $100 gift to the drive. Main issue DRIVE TOTALS Yesterday's total .. Today: Debate council .. Spencer dorm ..... Golden Fleece .. Smith ...$ 537.00 559.93 ... 25.00 10.00 2.63 Grand total $1,134.58 of the meeting will be the decision of the class regarding the $1,700 surplus saved from the dance cut. Previous plans called for the money to be spent for defense stamps but class heads plan to present a motion favoring turning over the money to the drive with the provision that it be kept in a lump sum and the interest used annually. Hobbs, chairman of the drive, ex pressed the hope that the campus would fall in behind the proposed "quarter a week" plan before school closes. Each student is asked to give at least $.25 in order to "start the ball rolling." VTown students are especially urged to give at any one of the three col lection boxes since there is not enough time remaining in the school year to conduct an organized collection. De posit boxes for the "quarter plan" are at the YMCA, Lenoir Dining hall and the library. University club members have or ganized committees covering the en tire campus and will report tonight on progress to date. Clerical Exams Slated Friday Examinations for typists, stenog raphers, clerks, accounting clerks and auditors for the United States Depart ment of Agriculture will be held Fri day at 8 o'clock, W. D. Perry, vocation al guidance director reported yester day. He urged all students interested in taking the exams to report to his of fice, so that proper classroom facili ties can be assigned. He listed examinations that will be given: accounting and auditing assist ant examination, requiring three and one-half hours, the junior auditing ex amination, requiring six hours, and the general clerical examination, requiring approximately, two hours .covering arithmetic, spelling and a speed test. Typist examinations and junior ste nographic examinations may also be given at the same time, he said. The stenographic test is on the basis of dictation at 96 words per minute. Raleigh Displays One-Man Art Show Neal Thomas, University student ar tist, has a one-man show at the Art Center in Raleigh. Most of the pictures are surrealistic, and many of them have been sold. Among the pictures on exhibit are "Yellow Bowl," which has won many prizes, and "Everybody Was There," his wildest surrealistic painting. Oth ers include "Mrs. E Has Other Flow ers" and "Dampscape." Daily In The South Sophs to Vote On New Class Sophomores go to the polls today from 10 :30 until 5 o'clock to vote on the much discussed sophomore constitution proposed early in the year by class president Dotson Palmer and drawn up several months ago by Wiley Long and Ernie Frankel. . Polls will be located in the YMCA and in the middle of the lower quad rangle and voting will be held under the auspices of the sophomore honor council. The class executive committee of 35 will round up sophomores dur ing the day to vote on the measure. Palmer stated that slightly over 300 votes will be needed to approve the constitution and that if it is not passed Kuhn to End War Lectures Philosophy Talk Will Begin at 8 Professor Helmut Kuhn will give the last informal talk of this year's series of Philosophy department lectures, speaking on "Total Versus Totalitarian Man" tonight at 8 o'clock in the main lounge of Graham Memorial. Because Professor Kuhn's talk is the last of the year, his will be somewhat of a summation of all preceding lectures. Professor Kuhn said that b.e would not actually attempt to summarize all the lectures, but would rather deliver a personal talk. He stated "The idea uppermost in our minds is the war the struggle of those who fight against totalitarian man in order that the fu ture may belong to total man." The philosophy professor continued that he had had some first-hand knowledge of totalitarianism and he would "present my ideas such as they have grown out of my own experiences." This year's series was under the gen eral topic of "Kestoring Order," deal ing with the problems arising out of the war and those to be faced after the war. During the fall quarter the series concerned "Rebuilding Material Foun dations: the Economic Problem," and the winter quarter lectures dealt with "Freedom and Organized Power: the Political Problem." The spring series, "A Fighting Faith," is dealing with the basic philosophical conflicts which ap pear in economic and political forms. Each of the series of meetings is planned to discuss the chief phases of the present world struggle and changes necessary to save our civilization. Af ter the lecture at each meeting, the au dience is permitted to express opinions and questions. The lecture is open to the public.

Radical measures including the lim iting of class committee memberships to seven, submitting of complete com mittee reports each month, and setting up of four new class committees de signed to eliminate "political tools," Are included in the constitution.

In an effort to obtain a cross-section of average opinion, the directors of the poll selected every 20th student in the student directory, and members of the committee personally interviewed each of the students. The survey, which revolved around the question of Vichy, revealed one in consistency in student thought. While the majority felt that Vichy's position was the only one possible under the circumstances, they also stated that the United States should break relations with France immediately. The ques tion that evoked the most varied an swers was one on France's place at the peace conference after the war. In answer to the question, "Do you think the US should break relations withVichy immediately," 63 per cent said Yes, 25 per cent said No and 10 per cent were undecided. Forty eight per cent thought that DeGaulle ought to be recognized as the French leader while 22 per cent answered No and 28 per cent undecided. The answers were overwhelmingly in favor of the US tak ing ever Vichy possessions in this hemisphere even before a possible dip lomatic break. 78 per cent answered Yes, 17 per cent No and 4 per cent were undecided. In regard to France's place at the peace conierence alter the war, do per cent thought France should be con sidered as a conquered United power, 24 per cent thought she should be con sidered as an Axis non-belligerent, 19 See IRC, page U NUMBER 179 Carolina Officers Welcome 242-Man Navy Contingent By Bob Levin University departmental heads are "lending a hand to Uncle Sam" in preparation for the long-awaited ar rival tomorrow rooming of the first contingent of 24i Naval Pre-Flight school cadets. Six weeks of hectic war-time co operation will be compensated for by piping the fledgling eaglets on deck at 9 o clock in Durham, where they will be met by officers from the Caro lina unit and transferred here by bus. Upon arrival the cadets will? be lined up at headquarters and briefly addressed by the commandant before quarters are assigned. A. R.
