New coordinators of the CPS, John Crimmins and William Fadul, discussed the philosophy and future plans of the group Tuesday. Crimmins said the essential element of the organization is student response. The CPS is set up to investigate complaints and to take whatever action is necessary to correct conditions. 'The CPS is not out to intimidate merchants. Rather we are here to negotiate complaints," Fadul said. "Student commerce, after all, is vital to local merchants, who sometimes tend to forget this.

Mississippi Democratic Senator John Stennis, chairman of the Armed Forces Committee, is laboring to kill the bill in his committee. Stennis is backed by the Nixon Administration and a strange coalition of northern liberals and southern conservatives. Specifically, the bill calls for: Military pay raises up to the national income average of 18-year-olds. This constitutes an increase from about $2,000 to $4,500. students and it is our task to consider students' rights," Crimmins said. "We're not assuming downtown merchants are out to screw students, we're simply out to find out how things are. We'll continue to investigate things" objectively," Fadul reemphasized. The main project of the CPS this semester is the publication of a consumer protection booklet. The booklet will contain a list of consumer complaints and appraisal of all local merchants.

Only the Congress would have power to re-institute the draft, by a joint resolution of both houses. "It's that fifth provision that Nixon is bitching about," said Adcock.

"The lounge is the only place in the building for students to go during free time," said Lanny J. Morrison, chairman of the Carolina Union Board of the School of Public Health. Mrs. Betty Heath, director of art, for the school, said the lounge was reserved through the Dean of Public Health's office for Friday through noon Tuesday: She said some of the paintings had nof been picked up by the differenl departments late Monday and the lounge" had to remain locked. . "There is not a thing we can do about, it," she said. "The personnel were so busy; they couldn't get them all out." Mrs. Heath said she was sure all the; paintings would be out today, and thej lounge would be reopened. i Morrison said the students in the: School of Public Health have set up a' temporary lounge. in the - foyer -of the' lounge isTTeopened."- Tf ? -.V J; "I doubt ifthey will have the paintings out before the end of the week," he said. He said signs on the door of the lounge 110 $167.50 $42.50 NLY $125.00 DENT STOKES iu ';initiii block passage of the bill by refusing to hold hearings on the matter. A lack of "publicity would allow the bill's defeat by such northerners as Kennedy, Muskie and Humphrey, backed by southerners McClellan, Ellender and Long. "Northern liberals in general," accused Adcock, "believe in the principle that the government has the power to direct people's lives in any way they see fit." "But," he added, "there are exceptions to this such as Sen. McGoveni and Hatfield." Adcock wants to send 3,000 or 4,000 signatures to Washington in the form of petitions backing passage of the legislation. Also, lobbyists are needed to go to Washington. YAF as a national organization is backing the bill, and stresses the necessity for speed in action to support it, as a vote will surely come in the Senate this month. "As the Senate goes on this issue," said Adcock, "so goes the House." Adcock believes the issue is basically a conservative one, as conversatives have been in favor of an all-volunteer army since 1940. Sen. Robert Taft (not the present Sen. Taft) was the first one to propose an end to the draft in the 1940's. Since that time, public opinion has become more favorable. A recent Gallup poll showed 65 per cent of the American public favored an all-volunteer military. stated the lounge would be closed last Friday, Saturday and Sunday. "The bad thing is that the administration did not notify the students," Morrison said. "I thought it would have been nice if they had at least notified me, the head of student government." Morrison said the administration has "taken over" the lounge on several previous occasions. "We hope we can prevent them from doing this again." The lounge is used by students for studying, eating, social gatherings and meetings, he said, and there is no other place in the building for such activities. Mrs. Heath said the paintings will hang in the corridors, class rooms and offices of the building until Dec. 13 of this year. She said a large room such as the lounge was needed to store all the 4 paintings while they were being processed.
