Membership will include ap proximately 10 isues of the Al umni Review, in addition to special editions each week during the football season. The publica tion contains' features on the Uni versity, faculty, alumni, and students. It is designed primarily to keep graduates informed of the activities of the University and each other.

Tarnation staff writer Wink Locklair gives readers a behind-the-scenes look at the much-talked-of Snook who fills a column on The Daily Tar Heel page six times a week. Two other stories in the book are Ken Penegar's "Santa's Apol ogy," and a story by a WC stu dent entitled "Blind Dating." Penegar, a freshman and new comer to the Tarnation staff offers a satirical version of Aristotle and Plato in modern heaven observing the follies of modern man. "Blind U AA U Ad House Advises Restless' Men To Stay Here Chancellor Gives Official Position . Of Administration Chancellor- Robert B. House yesterday advised "restless" students to continue their studies "with the assurance that they .are acting consist ently with the presently de clared policy of , the govern ment and in, the nation's interest." House made the statement af ter consulting with President Gor don Gray and more than two House emphasized, "allows for completion of the current academ ic year by all regularly enrolled students and the deferment , and reclassification of some. It reflects the judgement of the military authorities that education is a necessary part of a sound program of military preparedness and na tional security." The Chancellor, said the Uni versity administration will "at alj times" seek to keep abreast of de velopments affecting mobilization and training plans of the govern ment. Also, he said, it will try to formulate University programs in such a way as to be of great est service to the" nation and to students here. "The present stage of mobili zation is one of planning and con tinual adjustment to an uncertain and rapidly changing military situation," House continued. "In this period, as always, students will, of course, feel free to act in accordance with their own judgement of their opportunity and obligation." - " x . House urged students "facing an immediate decision on this important question" to consider it with the advice of their parents and to take advantage of advisory and informational services af forded .by the University. He specifically recommended Col. F. C. Shepard, adviser to students on military matters; appropriate officers in the local ROTC units; and deans and advisers. "A person's chances for advance ment in the service," the Chan cellor commented, "as well as his usefulness, are improved by ob taining as much formal education as possible." The'statement was the first of ficial word from the University advising students of administra tion attitude toward the effect of the Korean war upon the stu dent body.

' s ' - -' .. .' r And Chinese TOKYO, Friday, Dec. 8 (UP) A do-6r-die convoy of 20,000 U. 5- marines and troops fought down an ice-glazed Korean mountain trail to within 25 miles of Hamhung today on the last lap of a bloody push out of a Chinese encirclement. A relief task force knifed north from Hamhung through the Chi nese lines and linked up with a tank spearhead pf the beleaguered band, an unconfirmed air report said. Front dispatches said Marine commanders were confident the Yanks would come through. To, the southwest, the vanguard of 110,000 Chinese troops launched the first attack on a new Allied defense arc curving like a half moon 25 to 50 miles below Pyong yang. The inital blow knocked South Korean troops out of their defenses 25 miles southeast of the city. The U. S. 8th Army braced on a more or less stabilized line curv ing from just south of Koksan, 53 miles southeast of Pyongyang, up through Yul, 23 miles to the northwest and 28 miles from the Communist capital, and down to the Taedong River estuary across from the port city of Chinnampo, 25 miles southwest of Pyongyang. Nowhere were the Allied front line defenses, or any Chinese troops, closer to the 38th Parallel than 50 miles, officials reported. The big question of whether the Chinese would stop at the old boundary . between North arid South Korea remained unan swered. The U, S 1st Cavalry Division.) recaptured Koksan for a time in the first Allied "v counter-blow since the retreat through Pyong yang. To its left, the U. S.. 24th Division and' the ' South Korean 6th Division manned the center of the defense arc. The South Ko rean 1st Division fought off guerrilla feints around Sariwon, just south of Chinnampo.

Barker was being tried in the Superior Court of the Commonwealth of Manning for the alleged murder of Dick Bunting on the night of Nov. 21 in the Rathskeller. The crowd who packed the courtroom in the Law Build ing at 7 p.m. was somewhat re lieved when Superior Court Judge Henry L. Stevens de cided at 11:45 p.m. that he would not spend the necessary hour and a half or two hours to charge the jury -with the law in a capital crime. Judge Stevens commerfded both the prosecution and the defense on the presentation of their cases and said, "Your guess would be as good as mine on what verdict 12 men or women would reach in this case." The judge commented on the excellence of the prosecution's concluding speech by Ike An drews. He noted that although no decision was reached, the trial served its purpose by providing experience under ac tual conditions for the law stu dents.

Three weeks ago insignificant guerrilla bands were plotted on military maps. Now they are list ed as Regiments and Divisions. They are attacking more and more boldly along the flanks and rear of the United Nations forces. At least one North Korean Corps has been reorganized. Its three .almost full strength divi sions linked up with the advanc ing Chinese near Songchon last week after assembling in the wilderness northeast of Pyong yang. The corps was reported to have j been in radio contact with-the ! Chinese Communists since the middle of November. With the Allies in retreat, guer- rilla bands blossomed out as mil ! itary units in many areas south I of Pyongyang, and in at least i two cases south of the 38th j Parallel. Communist recruiting drives al j ready are going on in towns 'taken from the Allies. - Between 30,000 and 50,000 I North Korean troops were esti I mated to be active north of the ! 38th Parallel, with most of them already back in organized mili Itary units. Another 40,000 to 80,- 000 .were in by-passed pockets in So-uihu Korea. - . - Schedule ifsed A 23 o fS I HI V3 nairs roup Formini P an Action Is Taken Monday, Withheld Untii Yesterday Consolidated University President Gordon Gray, chair man of the Committee on Manpower of the American Association of Universities, is expected to fly to Washington tomorrow" with an AAU re port recommending extension of the dralt law for 10 years and universal military training for all men upon graduation from high school. Contents of the report were re leased yesterday in Columbia, Mo., according to the United Press. Dr. Frederick A.Middlebush, pres ident of the University of Mis souri and head of the Association, said the action came Monday at a special meeting of the Associ ation in New York. ' The AAU, composed of 37 lead ing Universities throughout the country, recommended that in ad dition amendments should be passed "prohibiting voluntary onu year .- enhsi.ments and extending the period of service to 27 months, with the proviso that the Pres ident may raise this term by three i months or lower it, to the extent necessary to bring military manpower-demand and resources into effective by lance." The report,, submitted U the AAU by Gray's Manpower Com mittee, asked that all male citi zens "be prepared li their crit ical roles by a system of univer sal tiainii; and service to be undertaken at tin.- ag'- of ', or upon completion of the JUth grade, whichever is later . . .'' All men trained under the UMT plan would be transferred to i e- serve status from which they could be called in any time of 1 emergency. Gray is expected to leave lx re ; tomorrow to deliver the AAU S recommendations to Defense Scc ! retary George Marshall and Dep uly Secretary of State Robert A. i Lcivett. The president of the Greater University probably will ! be called upon to testify before a Congressional committee when the report comes up before the ' 82nd Congress. "This is a new proposition for a group of college presidents to fbe taking," Gray told The Daily Tar Heel yesterday. "All express led, regret but thought it was best." !
