Honor Council Decisions Released by Bennett Editor's Note: The following report on Student Council cases and deci sions has teen released by Council Chairman Bert Bennett in an effort to remind students of their obligations to the Honor System and to inform them of the way in which the Council works. CASE I FACTS: A student took one of three copies of a book from the library without checking it out. After keeping the book for ten days, removing the check-out slip from it, and using it as if he owned it, he was caught with the book by a member of the library staff. It is estimated that 33 students de pended on this book while it was in the library. DECISION AND OPINION: The student be suspended from the Univer sity for violating the Honor Code as the book was taken from the" library without permission and kept for ten days with no attempt made to return t. Also evidence that would indicate that it was a library book was torn out or otherwise obliterated. The student's attitude on this violation was not in accord with the Caro lina Honor Code and it was also brought out that he had continually "cut cor ners" on little matters all through his coltege career.. The Council felt that suspension would make the boy realize his responsibilities and duties to society and bring him around to living by the same rules other students observed. " - CASE II . . FACTS: A senior was under suspicion of cheating on several occasions but was not reported because of uncertainty. On the next quiz he was watched See HONOR COUNCIL, page U 'Session' To Feature 'Sucker Show' Students to Get Lollipop Prizes "Don't Be a Sucker!" a new show patterned after radio's "Take It or Leave It," will feature the next Sun day Night Session, it was announced yesterday by J oe Harper, chairman of the "Session" committee.

For the first question answered correctly, one sucker will be given, for the sec ond, two suckers, for the third, three and so on through the contest.

Last Sunday night the program fea ture was taken from "Truth or Con sequences" and was termed "highly successful" by directors of the show.

II: i x t Constantin Fotitch Balkans Wait For Libya Win, Slav Declares Action Expected From Commandos By Walter Kiein Allied action through Commando landings can be expected in the Bal kans when Rommel has been driven from Africa, Yugoslav Ambassador Constantin Fotitch disclosed last night in an IRC address and open dis cussion in Memorial hall. In this first public statement on the future strategy of the current revolt in Yugoslavia, Fotitch declared, "We may expect to see Commando opera tions in the Balkan's when the tide of the Near East battle has definitely turned." Axis Detained "Through latest reports from the underground, we have learned that from 25 to 27 divisions of German, Italian, Hungarian and Bulgarian troops are now fighting Mikhailo vitch's army in Yugoslavia," the am bassador revealed. " "'"v - " i T ; Secrecy of the Chetnik forces' mili tary movements is of such importance, See BALKANS, page U Yugoslavia To Fight On, Says Fotitch "Today's revolt in the Balkans is a potential menace to the Axis," Yugo slavia's Constantin Fotitch emphasized yesterday, shortly after his arrival in Chapel Hill for an IRC address. "The Balkan war theater may 'de velop into something big when the tide of battle has definitely turned in the Near East," the emissary asserted. Many Axis Casualties Axis casualties in the Serb revolt are "terrifically high," Fotitch said. "The Italians have officially admitted the loss of 1,600 of their troops in one month's fighting. And this figure can be expanded greatly, since it is an of ficial admission, and on the part of only one Axis power." Fotitch said that the Yugoslav bat tle is no longer merely a guerrilla fight, but a fully organized campaign by a militarily sound army. Communists Unimportant "Communists did start a small-scale fight in Yugoslavia against both Axis and Chetnik forces," Fotitch admitted, "but this independent action was not very important and to my knowledge no longer exists. I can not say more in attack of this action." It was revealed that messages can be transmitted through the Yugoslav underground to America within 36 to 48 hours. "We are in constant contact with our armies." Chetniks Fight On Fotitch claimed that the Fighting Chetniks will continue to kill Germans and Italians in spite of atrocity re prisals against 100 Yugoslavs for every Axis soldier killed. "No matter what measures are taken against us, no matter what the cost, we will con tinue to kill the invading troops. And the Axis is beginning to realize it.". The underground, the ambassador said, is the backbone of the revolt. "Mikhailovitch couldn't exist without the underground." Aid Failed The emissary said it was useless to talk about the pledged lend-lease aid that never arrived in. Yugoslavia. "Two weeks after I saw President Roosevelt See YUGOSLAVIA, page 4 Cafeteria Draws Few Customers New Dining Hall Serves Only 300 Even with the centralized location, better hours and cafeteria style food plan, the newly opened University din ing hall is serving less than 300 ieals daily, it was announced yesterday. Leigh Skinner, manager of the Inn, reported yesterday that "we have a trickle for breakfast" and about 120 students at dinner and supper. On Saturdays the turnout barely reaches 100 while the banquet room is swamp ed all day Sunday in an effort to ab sorb the overflow from the regular Inn cafeteria. Will Stay Open Both Skinner and L. B. Rogerson, business manager of the University, as sured the student body that the dining hall would not be shut down under any circumstances. "It is important," said Rogerson, "that it remain open so that those students that do eat there con tinue to be accommodated by the Uni versity." Underlying reason for the continu ance of the cafeteria is that the Uni versity promised to feed the student body at a University owned dining hall and would rather feed 300 students daily than listen to 1,000 complaining. NROTC Causes Delay Construction will begin immediately on Swain hall following the evacuation of the NROTC who are expected to move into their new armory about No vember 15. Swain hall, which was the dining hall three years ago, " will need five days renovation before it is ready for student use. Kitchen equipment will be installed and final arrangements concerning price, food and hours decided upon be fore the University open the doors for student use. In order that ample time will be available for construction, the late opening date of December 1 has been set. The new cafeteria opened after the Navy closed the Pine room in Lenoir hall. Although criticism was raised concerning facilities it was pointed out that trade at the Pine room was com paratively small. Strowd Leases Garage to Navy "Due to the lull in business because of tire and gasoline rationing the Strowd Motor company has rented part of its building to the University for the storage of Navy buses, sta tion wagons, and panel trucks," Bruce Strowd, owner of the building, said today. Alterations are expected to be com pleted soon to accommodate the stor age of these vehicles and allow a small room for repairs. Strowd announces that regular business will continue as usual. Blind Student Establishes 'Trading Post' in Village By Kat Hill "If you are looking for a market to sell on or ' if you are looking for a market to buy from to you it is still a lot of trouble."' Bring your prob lem to Alonzo G. Squires at the Vil lage Trading Post just over the Vil lage Theatre to him it is no trouble at all. If you have something to sell tell him about it, if you have some thing you want to buy tell him about that too, and if the government doesn't have first choice hell get it for you. . This is the slogan and boast of Alonzo Squires' newly established Village Trading Post. Offering to sell, buy or trade any and everything from guns and dogs to houses and lots, Squires blind pre law student at Carolina, opened his unique establishment this quarter after having to temporarily discon tinue his studies here due to the present shortage of Braille printed books.

Editor Sylvan Meyer announced the publication date of the magazine, pointing out that "this comes even closer than our first issue to being an organ of complete campus coverage. Since our budget was cut too late to af fect this issue, it will be rather expen sive looking, however, we can absorb the cuts on later issues." Guys and Gals Featuring a football cover, a full page picture of "a beauteous coed" and an argument between a "guy and a gal with the guy talking about gals and the" gal talking about guys," the No vember Mag will be dubbed "Entertain ment Issue." Also in this line are stories by Art Golby, Ben McKinnon, and a full page of "Extra Libris," short humor items. On the cover an announcement of the next Magazine states that in December the topic, "A Year of Carolina At War" will be fully and graphically covered, with emphasis on the probable condi tion of extra-curricula activities and manpower.
