C, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 18, 1943 Editorial : F-141. News: F-JU, F-4147 NUMBER 8 W "TDTTT oard Tote ontinmie Carolina it Mouse Statement Clarifies University ina Inn Action sfAl Mag Carol ining Halls Now Closed o Services Ration Point Drain Forces Exclusion Dean R. B. House, in a recent state ment, clarified the decision barring Army, Navy and Marine men from eating at the Carolina Inn or Graham Memorial Grill. According to the Dean of Adminis tration, this ruling applies to week ends as well as week days, but an ex ception is made in the case of stu dents having out-of-town visitors. Consultation House emphasized that the decision had been taken after consultationVith heads of the various service groups on campus. The unprecedented pat ronage in the past month that result ed in a drain on ration points leav ing an insufficient number for the serving of even the normal quota of civilian students, university and serv ice staff members, transient guests, and ASTP and. Navy Personnel on a "subsistence diet" was given as the reason for the prohibitory action. "Insufficient points have been allot ted the Carolina Inn and Graham Me morial to provide food enough for those who are designated as nor mally looking to these dining halls, and at the same time to enable them to take care of students who would . normally eat at Swain and Lenoir halls," House's statement read. Limit Necessary "We regret very much to have to put any limitation at all on the hos pitality of the Carolina Inn and Gra ham Memorial. We do so insofar as the shortage of food makes it neces sary." The action and statement, indicat ing that many of the V-12 men have used these facilities, pose the impor tant question of why these Navy men, provided with-, meals at Swain hall, turn to other dining halls. The of ficial answer has not been given to date. Pre-Met Leader Is Now Captain It's Captain James G. Skinner now. The commanding officer of the Pre Meteorology School at the University of North Carolina has just received notice of his promotion. Captain Skinner is a native of Greenville, and was in the tobacco busi ness there before he joined the Army Air Forces last year. He is also an alumnus, being a member of the 1932 Class at Carolina. The local school, which is under the Army Air Forces Training Command, was activated last March and will complete its .six-month term on Sep tember 18. Upperclass Leaders Will Discuss Dance With plans for the Junior-Senior dance ready for publication, Senior class President Bob Burleigh called a meeting of the combined class leaders to discuss ways and means of "insur ing the success of the dance." Burleigh asked members of the Senior week committee, the Junior and Senior dance committees and Junior and Senior class officers to meet with him at 7:30 tomorrow night in the Grail room of Graham Memorial. Gates Will Address Pre-Flight Grads Artemus Gates, Assistant Secretary of the Navy, will deliver the principal speech at the Pre-flight battalion grad uation here next Friday. Gates, who will fly down from Wash ington to address the cadets, is ex pected to arrive early Friday morn ing for the 1 p. m. Kenan stadium ap pearance. Navy officials invited the UNC stu dents and townspeople to attend the ceremonies. egislatmre Complete .For Summer Session Group To Assemble Early in October Last week's "blackout" meeting was the final one for the summer Legis lature, according to a report from Speaker Terrell Webster, AS, USNR. Webster added that the full Leg islature, composed of civilian and V-12 representatives, would convene again as soon after the start of the fall quarter as possible, probably, early in October. "There is a great deal of vital business that we must get done," said the Speaker. During the three weeks when the civilians will be away from Carolina, the Naval portion of the Legislature will continue to meet to settle V-12 matters. The Webster statement also listed the new makeup of three top com mittees, Ways and Means, Elections and Finance; as well as the matters that they will investigate in their first fall meetings. For the summer Legislature, high point of activity came last week when I the Wallace plan for civilian male rep resentation was reported onto the floor and defeated after three hours of de bate. The final vote on the bill came Tar Heel Heads Civilian Papers In YMCA Office In an effort to solve the distribution problem, town students who have sub- J scribed to the Tar Heel will pick up ; their papers in the summer school of 'fice of the YMCA, members of the 'paper's business staff announced late yesterday afternoon.

MailingCopies Saturday morning additional copies of the paper will be placed in the of fice for any civilian or V-12er who wishes mailing copies.

Plan Changed When the V-i2 subscriptions went into effect with last week's issue of the Tar Heel, deliveries to the big distribution centers the library, Gra ham Memorial and the YMCA had to be discontinued.

"This disqualification clause is an important issue," said Webster, "since passage of such a measure would kill the possibility that any one publication clique could gain : enough board power to control all decisions." He emphasized that no such misuse of power had ever come up on the board, but felt that "concrete methods to avoid any such possibility should be taken now."

Cranford argued for the life of his publication with facts, figures and plans last week before the Publications Union board, and won. When the poor results of the block fee left even the continuation of the Tar Heel in doubt, it was an open secret that the Magazine, UNC monthly and its Cranford NROTC Men Leave Campus Graduates Are First To Get Commissions On Friday, Robert L. Feinberg and Wade Weatherf ord will receive diplo mas as the first two men to complete their college training under the Na val Reserve Officers Training Corps ; program at Carolina, and will be sub- sequently commissioned as ensigns in the United States Navy. Under the standard set up for all NROTC grad uates, they will report directly to active duty without undergoing any further indoctrination period. Commander G. L. Harrison, Ex ecutive Officer of the NROTC, has been giving both men special coach ing, and is now giving them pri vate examinations, since their courses of study have been concerned with nothing but naval sciences. No Formalities No formal exercise will be held for the two-man graduation. Although their courses will be completed Fri day, the exact time, Friday or Sat urday, when they will receive their commissions depends upon when the commissions reach Naval headquarters here from the Navy department in Washington. Weatherford, a native of Florence, S. C, was graduated from the Univer sity in June as a law major, but had to return for the first part of the NROTC program in order to complete See NROTC, page 4 The Inquiring Reporter Assignment : Do V-12 men think the Swain hall food situa tion has improved The Reporter: Robert Rolnik The Report: A.S. John R. Dolan The food situation at Swain Hall has improved miraculously. From hash to tenderloin in two easy weeks! We V-12ers are lucky, all right. The boys in the fleet could never hope for such chow! A.S. Robert "Bud" Rantz We certainly have to hand it to those new women dietitians!

I remember the day not ! plain about. so long ago that food was ladled out by hand and you wouldn't be surprised to find something extra in it! A.S. Bob Ormsby I eat anything positively any thing so you won't find me griping. But after a big meal I'd like more than a tiny paper cup of milk or luke warm water. I usually have to drop into the "Y" for a thirst quencher. My suggestion is "More BEER for us fighting seadogs!" oldest publication, would probably be suspended. A special meeting of the governing PU "board was called last Tuesday to make the final decision. Reduced Budget Editor Cranford, realizing the only hope lay in a reduced budget Mag, submitted a tentative 1943-44 estimate that was $1,000 below last year's fig ures. The new budget would call for a total expenditure of only $3,200 as opposed to former figures that ran as high as $4,500. The board's final vote was to con tinue the Carolina Magazine during the coming year, with seven issues of 24-page size to come out. This will mean an eight-page cut in size, but will not reduce the 1942-43 frequency of publication. First Issue First of the seven issues, according to Cranford, will be a special edition designed to acquaint the new V-12 and civilian students with the magazine, the University and Carolina life. Work is already underway on the issue, which will come out about Sep tember 20. A special meeting of all students interested in doing magazine work has been called for tomorrow night at 7:30 o'clock in the Mag office on the second floor-of Graham Memo rial. Workers Needed " Cranford urgcdall those interested, "whether in uniform or civilian dress," to attend the meeting. "Almost an entire new staff must be picked," he said, "and many good posts, including humor and literary editors, are still to be filled. We need new talent, and this means men and women with or without writing experience." The magazine work will call for writers of fiction and non-fiction, hu mor, cartoonists, photographers, office workers, a business staff and "idea men." Anyone unable to attend the meet ing can contact Cranford in No. 3 Battle dormitory. Financial Setup Main financial support for the monthly will still come from the civil ian group, expected to number over 1,200 in the fall, through their sub scription to the inclusive publications fee. This is counted on to write off $1,300 of the cost, with advertising taking care of another $1,000. Cran ford plans to make up the $700 deficit by individual sales to the Marine and Navy V-12 students at the Book Ex change and town stores, for the pres ent.
