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.

that its point of view be pre

charges of American aggression

In a cable to the United Na

Chinese Foreign Minister Chou

Soviet resolution had been begun
last week without "prior notice"

"This," he said, "is completely

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

BotV positions open are good

Tennessee University Puts Ban

KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Feb. 5
(UP) The University of Ten

faculty war over G-strings, bras
sieres and athletic supporters.

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

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. -

was imposed last spring and rep
resented a "step backward" to
most art instructors.
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

students disclosed that so-called
"figure models" had been employ

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.

ever, that about a year ago it
had been necessary to re-read
the order to art instructors. That

(P) The greatest Allied tank

U. S. 8th Army estimates on

The Reds had appeared to be

The main Allied tank punch

Rapists Walk Last Mile
Electric Chair Claims Last Three,
Brings End To Martinsville Seven
RICHMOND, Va., Feb. 5
(UP) The last three of the
H'Mar-tinsville Seven" died in the
electric chair today for the mass
rape of a white housewife more
than two years ago.
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.

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.

that beginners in law will be per
