Committee Unanimously Approves Reading Day Students will have a pie-exam "reading day" next year. They also stand a chance of getting half-priced date tickets for football games scheduled with conference members. Student body President Bob Young, announcing the new policies, said the reading day plan will go into effect between the last day of classes and the first day of examinations for the 1957-53 school year. He said reduced-price date tickets will be available contingent upon approval of the "visiting team a athletic office." Young listed both plans as achievements of his administration, voted into office at campus-wide elections last spring. Concerning the reading day, Young met with the Committee on Instructional Personnel, which was considering the University calen dar for 1957-58. The committee, according to Young, voted unani mous approval to a motion insti tr4 "e iho reading day. In a statement yesterday, Young said the committee discussed the feasiblity of instituting the one day break this spring, but found it impractical at this time. "Academic standards require that each class meet at least 45 times each semester," "There was no way that we could avoid com ing under this number without re moving one day from the spring recess period. . "The committee then voted that the calendar (for 1956-57) remain as it had previously been an nounced." The committee did, according to Yniinp fp! such a readinff cf' would-be feasible in 1957-58, and voted without dissent for its insti tution. THANKS . ' Let me publicly express thanks to Dean Spruill and the entire committee for considering and ap proving this idea," Young said. Concerning reduction in date ticket prices, Young stated in his release: "Selling date tickets to Carolina students at half-price will be con tinent UDen the approval of the visiting team's athletic office . . . and will certain only to conference games at the University of North Carolina." This means that date ticket prices for the Maryland and Wake Forest games this fall will be $2 and. $1.75, respectively, if the di rectors of athletics at Maryland and Wake Forest approve the idea. According to Young, this ar rangement is for the benefit of students and student dates only. "If students abuse the privilege," he said, "the chancellor and the director- of athletics reserve the right to withdraw this arrange ment at anv time." OPTIMISTIC xYoung said he was "optimistic" 'hat the Wake Forest and Mary land directors of athletics will agree to the proposed arrange ment. "Regardless of their decision," he said, "let me express sincere 'hanks to Chancellor House arid Mr. Erickson (C. P. Erickson, yNC director of athletics) for their nterest and cooperation in the matter." NROTC Unit Commander Starts Work A veteran of the Philippines Liberation and the Asiatic-Pacific Campaigns of WWII, is the new comnrander of the University NROTC unit. He is Capt. Alex M.

Maslie frequently was in diffi culties as the Yanks got men on base in nearly every inning, but he got some good fielding support and was invincible in the tight spots. He struck out 10, walked only four and yielded nine hits. The Dodgers made njjie hits off the four Yankee hurlers, including a homer bv Jackie Robinson in addition to Hodges' big blow. Th Yanks got off to a 2-0 lead m the first inning when Mantis powered a home run over the right field screpn into .the parking lot across the street after Enos Slaughter had singled.
