Ceremony I Dr. John Redhead, Jr. M ' ) 1 - - & -, i To The Lower Quad Boys . . . Rumor has told me that two or three of you fellows were discourteous to the naval aviation cadets yesterday. I don't know the names of those boys and I am glad that I don't. I shall speak straight The cadets are our guests. The cadets are undergoing three months of the most gruelling exist ence. Only men would tackle it men with guts. The cadets know what they are in for. They are volunteers. These cadets are training for the most dangerous fighting in the world. All of them will constantly risk death. The cadets are fighting for our country and freedom which we all love as true Americans. The cadets are Americans, brothers, of whom we are proud. Personally, I consider discourtesy to them as a violation of the Caro lina Code of Honor. I know that my sentiments are the sentiments of the vast majority of Carolina students. I know that there are no finer boys than the Lower Quad boys. I live there myself and know. I know too that you join with me in seeing that men who violate the spirit and honor of Carolina are dealt with in accordance with your own discretion. I know that you will join me in seeing that our brothers in the Naval Air Corps shall find at Carolina the highest type of southern hospitality. There is none nobler. Sincerely yours," Bert Bennett Student Body President Biddle Deports Bridges On Communistic Charges Combination Issue Named Carolina Mag Made New Title "Carolina Magazine" was selected by the Publications Union Board, at its meeting yesterday, as the name for the combination magazine of next year, thus preserving a 98 year old tradition. The name, submitted by Bucky Har- ward, next year's editor of the Daily Tar Heel, was picked over three other suggestions: The 50-50,. Litumur, and Conflict. The rejected names all per tain to the struggle between the com bination and anti-combination forces carried on during the year.

Hoke, managing editor of the Daily Tar Heel, was selected as editor of the summer paper. At the same time, the Board decided to go on a 12 month basis to administer the publishing of the pap er. By retaining the same face 'as the Daily Tar Heel, the Tar Heel will dif fer from the usual summer session pap er. The business-circulation manager of the paper will be picked at the PU Board's meeting this Saturday. -AH applicants are to meet in Prof essor Ben Lear's office, 104 Bingham, at 12 o'clock tomorrow.

Diversified War Offered College By Jimmy Wallace A diversified program for participa tion of colleges in the war effort is be ing perfected throughout the country, giving students opportunity to take part in the Army, Navy or Marines ac cording to figures being released by W. D. Perry, campus head of the pro gram. The Army branch consists primarily of two parts; the Army Enlisted Re serve and the Army Air Force. In order to enlist in the Army- Re serve a student must be 18 at the time of enlistment and less than 45 upon graduation. He also must take a phys ical examination and be a citizen of the United States, believed to possess qual ities for eventual appointment as a commissioned officer. From the day NUMBER 181 Legislature To Supervise Surpluses, Student Fees Student Government Boosted by Move By Paul Eomisaruk Dean Robert B. House gave official approval to the year-old Fees Bill yesterday, placing di rectly under student government supervision virtually all stu dent fees and surpluses rough ly estimated at $55,000 a year. As approved by the Adminis tration, the bill does not call for a blocked student fee under leg islative control as originally planned. The legislature, how ever, has been granted the power of freezing all organization sur pluses, and limiting the income of each organization. This, officials point out, will result in much the same control as the blocked fee. Furthermore, before deciding the purposes for which fees may be used, the Legislature must afford organiza tions under consideration, the oppor tunity to present their views. Frozen assets, it was explained, will continue to remain identified with individual organizations, but may be disposed of only with their permis sion, and under the supervision of the Legislature. These surpluses include money that has been acquired "either directly or indirectly as a result of past income from student fees, but does not include land, buildings, fur niture and fixtures." It was further pointed out that the legislature, granted the power to low er student fees if necessary, will not be permitted to change any one fee more than once a quarter. By trustee action, the aggregate total of all student fees may not ex ceed $13.70, and under the approved bill, "in any school year, no fee may be changed by more than 50 percent of the amount of the fee at the be ginning of the year." As a check against this power of the legislature to cut fees as much as 50 per cent, the bill states that the organization facing a cut, as well as the Student Audit board, must be given an opportunity "to express to the Student Legislature either in per son or in writing, their views con cerning the proposed change." Under provisions of the bill, the legislature, if it chooses to cut one fee (Student Entertainment, Publica tions, Debate Council, Student Gov ernment) may authorize collection of the money and order it spent "in whatever way that that Body thinks most expedient, for the general wel fare of the student body." The revised bill clears up a subject long under debate between- the Legis lature and student organizations. Granted the power to determine the purposes for which student fees may or may not be used, the bill prohibits the Legislature from specifying the amounts which may be spent for indi vidual budgetary items. Program Students of his enlistment into the Army Reserve he is not liable to Selective Service. In case of necessity the Secretary of War may call the Reserve Corps to active duty at any time. All enlisted students must take a qualifying ex amination not later than two calendar years after the beginning of their first college year. Those who pass the ex amination above a certain level may continue their college course in an in active Reserve status. Those who fail to reach this prescribed level will be ordered to report to active duty at the end of the second calendar year pro vided there is no valid reason for de ferment, v ' ' ' .
