It's called "Tuition A Mat ter of Principles." WEATHER Fair and warmer. High yes terday 51.8 VOLUME LIX Associated Press CHAPEL HILL, N. C. TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 6, s1951 United Press NUMBER P.P. Tin i Few Sfude For T uifion Little Being Interest Shown In Med School Raise Would Hurt Program Of MCC, Is Sanders' Claim By Edd Davis A paltry 67 students of the Medical Affairs division show ed their faces at a scheduled mass meeting of all students of the division in Gerrard Hall last night to discuss the proposed increases in the tu ition rates and how it would affect them. Bitter disappointment was voiced by representatives of the various units of the division who did attend the meeting. Typical examples of the com ments heard during and after the meeting derided the lack of in terest shown by the students. "Apparently the students don't realize the seriousness of the sit uation that is now hanging over their heads," one member said. "Don't they realize that if the proposed raises are put into effect that North Carolina will be up among the most expensive schools in this field?" said another member. John Sanders, president of the student body, pointed out that if the proposed increases were pass ed by the General Assembly tha it would undermine the entire work of the Medical Care , Com mission, and the whole good health program of the state by diminishing the supply of doc tors, dentists, pharmacists, and public health technicians for the rural counties of North Carolina. Since the response to meetings of the individual schools has pro duced the best results of the stu dent government campaign to date, the students present at the meeting last night voted to have more individual meetings of this nature during the week. Previous to the mass meeting students in the medical school met in the Whitehead Auditorium of the Medical School to discuss the situation and to determine the way it would effect them. The major argument presented by the mcd students was that many who are now in school would not be able to continue under the -new rates. The con sensus "of opinion was that they would back the campaign under taken by the student government. Plans were made for a meeting of each class in the mod school lor later in the. week. It was also pointed out that if the rates were raised many now in attendance would seek admission to other, med schools that have lower rates and a better academic standing at the present time.

China demanded today that its point of view be pre sented to the UN Political Com mittee during debate on Russian charges of American aggression against China. - In a cable to the United Na tions broadcast by Pciping radio, Chinese Foreign Minister Chou En-Lai . declared the Political Committee's consideration of the Soviet resolution had been begun last week without "prior notice" to China, making it impossible for them to send a delegate. "This," he said, "is completely unreasonable and is a new in trigue on the part of the United States government, dominating the United Nations organization." Draft Rejection Study Backs Up Educators RALEIGH, Feb. 5 (P.) A study of draft rejection causes in Pitt County tends to confirm what Tar Heel educators have said about the need for en forcing the state's compulsory school attendance laws. This was asserted today by Col. T. II. Upton, state director of Selective Service, Upton said the Pitt study bears out the claim of Tar Heel educators that "many of the rejectees are not sufficiently literate- to pass" Army mental tests. , The study, he. said, showed that some draft rejectees had attended school for as much as eight or nine years but had lost up to 500 days because of absences. Gamer SSiQH on the Council. They were left open when former Chairman Hor- ace Stacy and Jack Tripp went into the service at the beginning of this quarter. Council Chairman Buddy Vaden yesterday expressed hopes that a large number of candidates and interested students will present themselves before the board. BotV positions open are good until spring elections. Only grad uate students will be considered for the graduate seat. Sopho mores, juniors, and seniors are eligible for the holdover seat. The function of the selection board is to consider the qualifi cations of candidates and give them an idea of the workings of the Council. The group will select the -best from among the prospects and turn their names in to President John Sanders, who will make the two appointments with the ap proval of the Student Legislature.

War Of The G-Strings Tennessee University Puts Ban On Art Models Without Clothes KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Feb. 5 (UP) The University of Ten nessee has put clothes on its art models, it was learned today, touching off an administration faculty war over G-strings, bras sieres and athletic supporters. . Student Reporter Harry Din widdie revealed the wrangle when he wrote in The Orange Upton said plans are being made to conduct similar studies in other counties with the co operation of school officials. - The Pitt study report was made to Colonel Upton over the weekend. It was conducted by June II. Rose, superintendent of the Greenville schools, D. H. Conley, Pitt County school superintendent, and their staffs. The report also contended that the Army's mental test is actually an achievement test based on ability to read and is not a. measure of intelligence, and those making the test as serted they uelieved that many of "those too illiterate to pass the test are still, mentally qual ified for some job in the serv ice," said Colonel Upton. Hershey Plans No On 220,000 Order Will Effect Childless Spouse, One-Dependant Men ' WASHINGTON," Feb. 5 X UP ) Selective - Service Director Lewis B. Hershey said today he has prepared' an order cancelling the draft deferments of perhaps 220, 000 childless husbands and other men with only one dependent. ; He told the House Armed Ser vices Committee that President Truman still must sign the order before local draft boards can be gin inducting such men into the Army. But he voiced confidence that his plan will have the Chief Executive's backing. The White House said, however, that the order still had not reached the Budget Bureau which must approve the proposal be fore it can go to Mr. Truman. This means any relaxation of de pendency regulations still is some time in the future. Hershey said 170,000 registrants would be affected immediately by the proposal. The total might be increased to 220,000, he said, if Assistant Defense Secretary Anna M. Rosenberg makes good on her promise that the armed services will lower their mental and phys ical requirements. If the induction standards are not lowered, some 50,000 men now deferred for dependency would wind up 4-F, he explained. By presidential order, all men with dependents now are draft proof unless they married after being classified: Hershey's disclosure came in the face of growing Congression al sentiment for taking childless married men before embarking on the politically-touchy step of drafting 18-year-olds. - Coeds Are Granted 2 A.M.

On the front page above Din widdie's piece appeared a two column photograph of a sculp tured nude couple in a verticle embrace. The base had scrawled across it: "John and Marsha," the title of a popular song with boudoir implications. In the Fine Arts Department, Director David Van Vactor fum ed good-naturedly that the cam pus newspaper was "making a helluva good joke out of my de partment." Van Vactor said that nudes never were used "to my know ledge." But otheW instructors and students disclosed that so-called "figure models" had been employ ed prpfesionally for more than a year until the practice was order ed stopped. The only directive he knew of, Van Vactor said, was one issued four years ago whereby "the ladies would wear G-strings or panties, and brassieres, and the gentlemen would wear athletic supporters." It is still in effect, he said, but mostly the covering resembles the skin. Van Vactor acknowledged, how ever, that about a year ago it had been necessary to re-read the order to art instructors.

U. S. 8th Army estimates on casualties inflicted on the Reds since the present Allied drives began Jan. 25 soared beyond 51,000 dead and wounded. Mon day's count still was incom plete. In the west, three swift hunter-killer tank columns slashed through a reported buildup of from 10,000 to 15,000 fresh Com munist troops who had moved south from the Han River Sun day night. The Reds had appeared to be massing for a Chinese Lunar New Year's counter-offensive today. The main Allied tank punch hit within five air. miles of dead and silent Seoul. This was the nearest approach to the fallen South Korean capital since the United Nations forces abandon ed it Jan. 4.

The other four were executed Friday and the state closed its books on the case today after two years of. legal wrangles which grew into an international up roar of protest. Gov. John Battle, who refused a last-minute plea for stays of execution, was under .guard as the men were executed but there were no disorders. John Calbon Taylor, 22, en tered .the basement death cham ber at State Prison here at 7:33 onn ing residents of Victory Village to pipe in the oil from large drums outside the houses. The heaters were originally install ed with five-gallon supply tanks at the heater.' This practice, of tying-in to the outside tanks will not be allowed in the future. "Many of the residents moved the space heaters from their or iginal locations in the living room to the hallway. This has increas ed the danger of fires. "All residents are asked to re port immediately any defects in their heaters, to keep a close watch for leaks, and to keep lint and other inflammable material from around the heaters. Children will sometimes play around the heaters, too, and cause leaks at the carburetor." P. L. Burch, Victory Village manager, said there have been five calls to the local fire depart ment in the past 13 months for fires in living quarters in the Village. "There are over 600 oil heaters in Victory Village," Burch said. "This includes stoves, hot water heaters and space heaters. Since October, 1946, the loss from fire in the Village has been $150. "Oil heaters are dangerous," he cautioned, "and must be used with- proper regard for safety. However, it is the only practical way to heat the type of housing we have at Victory Village and at the present rent scale. "The Village has three service men available at all times to cor rect faulty heaters. Residents should not hesitate to call them when needed. They should also have insurance on their person al effects because the state is not responsible for them. At present, there are 352 fam ilies and about 1,000 people in residing in Victory Village.
