for every fifth man in civilian
work tonight and unfolded his
own solution of the manpower
problem a sweeping five point
program to apportion the na

New Unit Unaffected
By Roosevelt Decree
President Roosevelt's order
closing all enlistments in the
armed services will not affect
civilian enlistments in the B-type
premeteorology school which re
ceived its official War department
confirmation yesterday, accord
ing to Guy B. Phillips, executive
secretary of the College for War
Training.
Phillips confirmed this report
by a wire received yesterday
morning from the Chicago
meteorology school which said
"program B.' Vrd" proceed as
scheduled' Vth opening date set
for March.' -
Further confirmation was re
ceived when Phillips called C. G.
Rossby, head of the Chicago
school, who said that "we would
continue to accept applications
contrary to President Roosevelt's
order."
The ruling by the War depart
ment that meteorology enlist
ments were still open was at
tributed to the fact that experts
in this field are lacking and would
come under the head, of "special
exceptions" in the President's
message.
Rossby asked Phillips for a list
of the unassigned army enlisted
reservists so that the board could
begin examining their scholastic
records for acceptance. Phillips
pointed out that admission would
be based solely on scholastic rec
ord and that the quota would be
filled from outside colleges if
Carolina students could not meet
the 250 quota.

Polls will be open in the YMCA
from 9 a. m. until 5 p. m. today
for voting on the proposed
amendment to the dance expendi
tures bill which would raise the
limit that might be spent on a
set of dances to $2,500.
Copies of the amendment
initiated by Sim Nathan and put
to a vote by being signed by 400
students will be distributed at the
polls and to vote, a student will
either approve or disapprove the
new measure.
Voters will be required to

To go into effect the bill must
be voted on by at least 25 per cent
of the student body, a simple fa
vorable majority of that number
being necessary to carry the
amendment.
If defeated by lack of a quorum
or by a majority, the old dance
expenditures bill which specifies
that no more than $750 may be
spent on a set of dances will re
main in effect.
If approved, the new bill will
provide that there may be one
dance per- quarter for which a
maximum of $2,500 may be
spent ; any other dances may not
exceed $750; the University
