John Robinson Gives Details Group Hitches New Condition roposals n Naval Units Here May Take Yearbook Out of -three meetings of the Pub lications Union board over the week end, came provisions for a 1944 Yack ety Yack with a big "if" tacked to the plan, and future financing of the Tar Heel. Depending on the satisfaction of the "if" clause subscription of a set minimum of V-i2 students the year book will be published next March. Plans for Navy participation in the financing of the publications follow the voluntary subscription line laid down after student leader-Navy conferences. Three Parts As it stands, the program is divided into three parts. V-12 men wishing to subscribe to the Yackety Yack alone can do so by pledging $3.50. Those who want only the Tar Heel would pay one dollar each trimester. Part B provides for subscription to both publications. Navy men who want the Yackety Yack and three trimesters of the Tar Heel can get it for five dol lars a saving of $1.50 over the sep arate prices.. . - For V-12 students who will be here for only two trimesters, that is, leav ing in March, the price for the Yackety Yack and the Tar Heel until that time will be $4.50. Navy and Marines Navy men and Marines leaving in November would pay four dollars for the Yackety Yack and one trimester of the Tar Heel under the proposed system. For men taking one of the three com bination subscription plans, PU board economic adviser Lear pointed out there would be a substantial saving. "The Board feels that it is worthwhile to give the men this saving in return for the stability of income that this plan will provide. Under it, both the board and the Navy subscribers will benefit." Added Cost Added cost for Navy seniors would oe tne lour dollars representation" m the Yackety Yack. Representation is the term used for the inclusion of the pictures of each senior in the year book. For other Navy men who want to enter into the subscription plan, a charge of 45 cents would be added for "representation" group pictures of each house unit. The civilian fee, to be collected at the start of the fall quarter will coin cide exactly with the Navy plan of financing, except for a rise in the non senior representation fee to 80 cents.

Military Students at UNC C ate Of Block Plan Provides Varied System For Pledging 1 Overall Costs Set At $5.65 Per Man President John Robinson's proposed Fees Bill emerged from planning meetings yesterday as a two part measure designed to srive voluntarv V-12 support to campus service groups. The block fee, Part I of "the bill, would cover membership in the Ath letic association and the Graham Me morial and Student government charges; amount to $5.65 for a lump sum payment, or three monthly pledges of $1.89. Individual Payments Second portion of the measure would give Navy men not willing to enter the three activities an opportunity to choose the organizations they wish to suBport. Graham Memorial, under the individual payment system, would get a $1.00 fee, the Athletic association four dollars and Student government 15 cents. ' These figures represent a substan tial saving in the Athletic association fee over the last civilian assessment, only slight savings in the other two. "Robinson plans to ask Captain Pop- ham to schedule a meeting of the unit in order to fully explain the block fee setup. On the first payday-in early August pledges for the overall $5.65, three payment $1.89 or the individual fees will be taken at a booth to be set up for that purpose In releasing the bill, Robinson em phasized that it, like the new Publica tions Union assessment for the Yackety Yack and Tar Heel, would be collected on an entirely voluntary basis. But, Captain Popham has indicated that he favors support of these ser vices by the Navy V-12 group. If they are to continue to maintain their ex tensive activities, they need support from groups other than the civilian. This fee has been reduced to the low est workable sum, in order to give the Navy men the most for their money. This, together with the PU board program, is the first effort to enlist the financial aid of the Navy men. It comes from the realization that added revenue was needed and that the organizations and publications "had a definite and great service to offer the Navy men."

NUMBER 4 W O T tors it mml Crowd Slate X AkJiLL ilitary Vote Frats Retain Coed Ruling Privileges Board Keeps Old System In an attempt to clear up the mis understanding existing between the Office of the Dean of Women and the Interfraternity council and House Privileges Board concerning the coed- fraternity agreement, the latter of these three bodies met Monday night and decided to retain for the present the agreement which has been in ef fect since the first of June. "The whole misunderstanding seems to have started," explained- Council president Denny Hammond, "when two of our members in talking to Mrs. Stacy during the first week or so of summer school received the false im- jpression that she had rejected the agreement, and I in turn announced to the Inter-fraternity council that the agreement was not in existence." Last Spring Last spring a coed-fraternity agree ment was drawn up by the council and board after Mrs. Stacy had told them that she would approve such an agree ment, to be valid until July 10 where upon plans for another agreement would be discussed, or the existing agreement retained. Therefore an agreement in name only was drawn up and presumed to be in effect, even though Mrs. Stacy never saw the agree ment in writing. In essence, the agreement provides that in order for cnpds tr Vu on tor. See FRATS, page 4 Coed Officials Meet Tomorrow At 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon there will be a meeting of temporary chairwomen from all the women's dormitories to make plans for the first housemeeting of the new session and to discuss rules and plans for the new girls.

The president not only serves as head of her dormitory, but also on the summer honor council. Pug Unchurch, who announced the meeting, says that no extensive orien tation for the new girls has been planned since their time here this sum mer is so short, but a cover-all will be given the girls at their first house meeting, j The meeting of the dorm chairmen has been planned before the first week end of the second session in order that women's government might be func- 'tioning by that time. .8:30 Informal Dancing.
