Veterans Must
Meet Deadline,
Begin Courses
Special to The Daily Tar Heel
WINSTON-SALEM, May 1
The July 25 deadline for starting
GI Bill courses of education and
training for most veterans is only
three months away, the Veterans
Administration pointed out re
cently.
That date, established by law,
should be kept in mind, the VA
said, by World War II veterans
making plans for schooling or
training at Government expense
This coming summer term" for
example, will be the last during
which most veterans will be per
mitted to enter or re-enter GI
Bill training. - .
A veteran actually must be in
training .by "the deadline if he
wants to continue afterwards
lne VA . wiu consider him in
training, even though he has tern
porarily interrupted his course
for the summer vacation or for
other Reasons beyond his control
such as re-entry into military
service.
Once he completes or discon
tinues his program of training af
ter the cut-off date, he may not
start another course.
Also, he must meet these re
quirements: He will be expected to pursue
his training "continuously until
completion, except for conditions
which normally would cause in
terruption by any student."
He may change his educational
objective "only while in training
and then for reasons satisfactory
to the Administrator."

New York state has the most

Health Tests
To Be Given
In Chapel Hill
A multiple screening pro
gram will be conducted in
Chapel Hill and Carrboro dur
ing the first two weeks of Iviay,
Dr. O.D. Garvin, district health
officer, has announced.
The program includes a
chest X-ray, record of blood
pressure, and test for vision,
diabetes, and anemia. Any one
of the tests may be taken with
out taking the others- if so
desired.
A report of each test will
be sent to all individuals so
that such follow-up as is in
dicated can be done by their
private physicians.
The testing starts tomorrow
at the local Health Depart
ment beginning at 9 a.m. For
further information of the
schedule contact the Health

will be elected. Anyone who has
expressed a desire to join the
Union is requested to submit his
application in time for action by
the Union before the election.
New members elected Sunday
will be eligible to vote in the
forthcoming election.
Investigating where the money
is coming from to make this travel-study
possible, the Institute
said that about 13 percent of the
30,000 students came, wholly or
partly, on money from the U. S.
taxpayer's pocket.
Another 13 percent are on scho
larships given by the schools
themselves, four and a half per
cent receive philantropic aid from
organizations in the U. S., and an
additional four percent are helped
by their own government. A
little over 50 percent are paying
their own way.
The i most popular subject
among foreign students, the sur
vey shows, is engineering, with
the liberal art and social sciences
next in that order.
Results of the survey are pub
lished by the Institute in a free

Plans Laid
For Confab
On Marriage
Further plans for a conference
on courtship and marriage, spon
sored by the YMCA, were an
nounced yesterday. The discus
sions are intended to be of special
interest to engaged couples, but
it was pointed out that all in
terested persons are urged to at
tend. Mrs. Ethel Nash, Dr. Reubin
Hill, and Dr. Ellena Easley, lead
ers for the discusions, announced
the dates as May 8, 10, 15, 17
from 8 to 10 p.m. Tentative plans
call for the conference to be held
in the Y library.
Jack Prince and Pat Jewell,
conference co-chairmen, who were
in charge of making arrangements,
stated that information and ap
plication forms could be obtained
at the Y office.
June Grads Should -Make

All students who plan to grad
uate in June should file their ap
plications with the dean of the
school in which" they are regis

Gray Says
Tests
Not Certain
Armstrong Consuls
On Student Aetfon
If Plan Approved
. President Gordon Gray assert
ed yesterday that the . draft ex
emption exams proposed by the
National Selective Service are
still an uncertainty and that there
is no need to "get excited about
the tests at present.','
"Since the situation changes
from veek to week, I cannot make
any suggestions at his time7' he
said.
At the same time Director of
Admissions Roy Armstrong gave
advice to students on the proper
action to take should the tests be
instituted.
A reserve Army Major and a
member of the State Selective
Service system, Armstrong said,
"Every student who is registered
and is under 26 should take the
test if it is given." He pointed
out that it was not the type of
exam that requires preparation.
If Congress approves the pro
gram which, was proposed oy
National Selective Service offi
cials, students would be deferred
from service on a high score
basis.
However, Armstrong explained
that a student's deferment may
depend not only on the test score
and his class standing but also
on the local board's disgression.
Debate "in Congress has pointed
toward a killing of the proposal.
Educational leaders and others
have claimed that the plan would
be unfair to men who could not
pay their way through school and
that the plan might tend to de
velop an intellectual aristocracy.
Others have viewed the pro
posal as a concrete way of train
ing qualified men who would be
more valuable to the services in
the future.
Chest Booth
To Be Placed
In V Lobby
A booth will be set up in the
lobby of the "Y" this morning
and tomorrow lo collect pledges
made during the Campus Chest
drive, Bob Payne, chairman of the
drive, announced yesterday.
Fifty per cent of the $2,900
collected in the drive is in
pledges, said Payne, and the
booth will enable students to
pay the $1,400 now outstanding.
The $2,900 total for this year's
drive falls short of the $4,400 col
lected last year. Faculty response
was also less than last year, ac
cording to Payne, as faculty" so
licitations were made near the
close of the winter quarter.

Dr. Henderson Replies To Charge
That HeTook A Second Helping
By Archibald Henderson
My attention has been called
(and I mean "called" by letter,

Director of the University News
Bureau, to the press on April 1
(readers will please note the
significance of the date!) about
my .taking two, alleged helpings
of a chocolate roll.
The story quoted my good
friend, Max Steinhardt, New
York attorney, as saying that I
had violated one of my own rules
for keeDine- fit and at normal
weight by taking this second help

I was shocked and mortified by
the grave errors in this story.

first act takes place in an an

highway at the dizzy speed of 15
miles per hour.
' But difficulties were encounter
ed when the stage door of the
theater, measured and remeasur

narrow to allow the fire truck's
passage. Nothing remained but
for Walter Creech, director of the
play, to construct an automobile
that would pass through the door.
For the past week the Play

the reconstruction of the truck,

slice was so small that I ate it

It proved so delightful that I
asked Mrs. Steinhardt if I might
not have one more slice, which
by this time was full size, coming
off the mid-section of the roll. As
two such mid-slices make a nor

the well known formula for a

all less than three-fourths of a
