R. Mann, local coordi nator, announced yesterday. The new course under the su pervision of the Naval Flight Board in Atlanta distinguishes itself from regular in; pro grams by covering from 72 to 90 hours of ground work over period of sixteen weeks as com pared with the regular program of 244 hours for eight weeks. Enlistments in the Naval V-5 train- ins or as a second-class seaman in V-l are prerequisites for enrollment in the course. Because of the extensive enlarge ment of plans for regular Civilian Pilot Training at Horace Williams Airport, the new Navy primary has limited its enrollment to 20 men. These men, af ter contacting Mann at the airport, will make application at any Navy re cruiting station and then will be sent to Atlanta for acceptance by the Naval Flight Selection Board. If accepted, they will be ordered to return to Chapel Hill to begin their training. Secondary training for CAA will be instituted for the first time in the Uni versity this week, as Carolina joins with Duke in undertaking a program. The Serv-Air company of Raleigh is sponsoring the course and supplying the heavy and higher-powered Waco VPT 220 horsepower planes which are used in the course as contrasted with the primary training planes of 65 horse power. Ten candidates will be accepted into the course. Each candidate must be enlisted in the Navy V-5 reserve.' Carolina Alumnus Given Commission James Gordon DeLoach has received his commission as a Second Lieutenant in the Army Air forces as a pilot, it was learned yesterday. DeLoach, a Carolina alumnus, took his final training at Turner Field in Albany, Georgia, and will soon report for active duty. rig muaeni meeu Slated Tomorrow New Army Reserve Corps, Naval, Marine Programs To Be Explained The general student convocation, called last week by vocational guidance director W. D. Perry, and scheduled for tonight in Memorial hall at 8 o'clock, has been postponed until tomorrow night at 8 o'clock in Memorial hall, it was announced yesterday. Purpose of the convocation will be to explain the New Army Reserve Corps program, and list the other opportunities available in the Reserve branches of the Navy and Marine corps. Dr. Perry said that Lieut. Brown of TWT 1 To Be Issued the Army, and Sergeant Carl C. Mar tin of the Marine Corps would also be on hand to list further details of the various reserve programs. Details of the New Army Reserve plan were released in last Friday's Tar Heel. Dr. Perry explained that since the University is limited to a 722 quota under this new plan, students wishing to enlist must first receive a letter of permission from the Univer sity. Applications will be considered in the order of their arrival, Dr. Perry said, and should be turned in to his office at 207 South Building. Students under 21, wishing to enlist, must re ceive the approval of their parents, and blanks for this approval may be ob tained from the South Building office. Upon receiving University approval, and parental permission, students must then proceed to the Army Reserve of fice in Raleigh. No details of the physical require ments for the new program were avail able, but it was announced that they would be considerably less stringent than the requirements for Air Corps Cadets. Art Exhibition Opens on Sunday New Plan Allows 150 Miles Monthly Registration for new gasoline ration cards will be held on Thursday, Fri day, and Saturday of this week in either the Chapel Hill or Carrboro Elementary Schools, it was announced. A new plan in which motorists will be issued only "A" cards will be inau gurated. These cards will have coupons and will allow about 150 miles of driv ing per month. Motorists who think they need more gasoline will present an application to the rationing board for supplementary ration up to the government limitation. There will be no "X" cards in this plan. Mr. Moody Durham, chairman of the rationing board in Chapel Hill said that registration cards will be neces sary. Motorists must bring their regis tration card in order to get the ration book. The use of the new cards will begin on Wednesday, July 22. Who ever fails to register at the proper time will be penalized for the delay by hav ing one or more of his coupons re moved. There will be a meeting for volun teer registrars who will issue the books at 8 o'clock tongiht at the ele mentary school.

Student Council Reports Honor Code Decisions (Editor's Note This report to the students of the student council de- cisions of honor violations follows the new policy of Bert Bennett, student body president, in publishing decisions and circumstances of honor cases. For editorial comment, see page SI.) CASE 1 FACTS: A professor turned a pledged paper of one of his students stating that "I have neither given nor received help on this quiz, but there are a hell of a lot of students in here who say the same," over to the Stu dent council. After talking to the student, who said that he saw many ways of cheating, but was not sure of any names, the entire class was brought up before the council. The members were all freshmen. There was no evidence other than the boy's testimony, but over a fourth of the class admitted that they were guilty of violating the honor system. DECISION: OPINION: The violators were placed on probation and failed on the course. Student council probation means that the student can not represent the University to any outside group; if a student on probation is in the glee club or is a member of the football team, he cannot participate when there are spectators other than students. CASE 2 FACTS: A junior was suspected of violating the honor code in a lab. lie copied word for word the explanation of various computations of another student's paper. The teacher requested that everyone was on his honor to do his own work, and that all papers were to be pledged. The boy was warned once before by the teacher for copying. The student admitted his guilt. DECISION: OPINION: He be placed on probation, failed on the course and denied 10 hours toward graduation. The latter means that in stead of having to get 180 hours to graduate the student must have 190 hours, in other words, 10 additional hours will have to be taken before the student can graduate. For the student body's sake it is hoped that this will be a lesson. When asked to pledge work, whether it be a quiz or a lab, the student is on his honor to abide by the honor system. For the faculty's sake the hope is reiterated again that all cases be " immediately turned over to the council, and that they do not endeavor to handle violations in their own way.

Frosh, Sophs To Be Given ExamSaturday Exam Compulsory, Perry Announces University freshmen and sopho mores will be required to take an Avia tion Cadet Qualifying Examination Saturday morning from 9 to 12, in an effort to aid Army authorities in stan dardizing the examination, W. D Perry, vocational guidance director an nounced yesterday. Stressing that the test was compul sory, Perry emphasized that it was be ing conducted merely to aid officials in standardizing these examinations be fore they are released for official use. "The taking of the tests will not of ficially qualify men as Cadets, nor obligate them in any way for Army Service," the announcement said. The examination requiring almost the three full hours will be given in Phillips and Venable Hall. Freshman and sophomore students will be noti fied by Dr. Perry where to appear to take .the examination. It was also stated that Carolina students, planning to join the armed forces eventually will be required to take similar examina tions and practice in the objective type test is highly desirable. Army Headquarters declared that in the past the "majority of Aviation Cadets have been selected from men with some college training. It is im portant that the Army Air Force know the relative number of college students who can qualify for Aviation Cadet training under existing stand ards. This information will be of value to college guidance committees as well as to the Air Forces." Several other colleges will also con duct the. examinations, it was stated. An effort was being made to give the tests at representative colleges throughout the United States. v Two-Mile Radius Assigned WN.CU Independent Unit to Broadcast Campus News, Special Programs By Phyllis Yates A permanent, independent broadcasting station which will supply programs of local interest directly to receiving sets within a two mile radius of the University has been approved by the Federal Communications Commission and will be installed soon, officials announced yesterday.
