C SATURDAY, MARCH 16, 1946 the past year, the Honor Council members came to the decision that most of the cases are viola tions of the House Privilege Board agreement and miscon duct in Jhe fraternity houses. The council members do not feel that petty rules should be made to curb violations of the campus code, but they do think that con duct in the fraternity houses would be improved "and stand ards raised if the fraternity houses had adequate supervision. The letter also stated that the import problem was not within the jurisdiction of the council and that it is impossible for the council to regulate their conduct and visiting hours unless the visitors stay in the dormitories. The members of the council suggested that appropriate housemothers, who could be re4 sponsible to the university, could help very much in eliminating many of the . campus problems. The council realizes that the fra ternities are having trouble with post-war reorganization. They know that the house mother ques4 tioh is not within their jurisdic tion, but they would like to rec ommend that the administration take the necessary steps to pro vide for supervision in the fra ternity houses.

Publication Board Retains Fenhagen In DTH Position The Publications Union board has decided to retain Westy Fen hagen as managing editor of the Daily Tar Heel after learning that he would be able to handle the position next term. Originally it was thought that Fenhagen would resign his post due to a heavy academic load next term, but, he has arranged a lighter schedule and will be able to carry on with the Daily Tar Heel. The board decided to give the matter of door to door circula tion of the Daily Tar Heel more consideration at the first meet ing of the next term. Members of the board were in favor of door to door circulation, but re frained from a definite decision until the costs could be more definitely determined. The cir culation manager explained that it probably could be done with the addition of one carrier boy. DTH Editor Bob Morrison ap peared before the board asking that something be done about room circulation. Other matters considered by the board were the increase in advertising rates for the Daily Tar Heel and commission rates for the business manager of the DTH.
