Because of a previous luncheon engagement both Halifax and the governor will return to Raleigh shortly after noon. Arrived in 1941 Halifax first came, to this country in January 1941 as ambassador. By that time h had lived down his reputation as an "apostle of appeasement" under prime minister Chamberlain.

' Halifax PI 'arty Joint Panel Presents Case On Merger A joint faculty-student panel de bated the advantages and drawbacks in the proposed merger of the civilian quarter with the V-12 trimester last night at a Phi-sponsored discussion program in Graham Memorial's main lounge. For the faculty it was Dean F. F. Bradshaw, Dean D. D. Carroll, Dean A. W. Hobbs and Dr. A. R. Newsome; with the students represented by Kat Hill, Tab Heel editor; Turk Newsome, Student council vice president; and Harris Knight, Private, USMCR. Two Hour Survey In a two hour plus survey of the plan, the panel members brought up a number of important arguments both for and against combination of the quarter and trimester. Speaking from the financial viewpoint, Commerce school head Carroll pointed out that merger would "mean an "appreciable financial economy to the University" as well as. rnahlp the fairnltv n offivr more courses to the combined groups" 'Main benefit in the matter of "more courses" would come in the upper levels: where classes could be combined with- out going over the maximum student Per class. The faculty men favoring the plan with retention of the summer session- civilians desiring it, would not mean any appreciable break in the school year for either the Navy or civilian student population. Also, it would de- lay graduation of non-Navy seniors, Better Understanding Merger advocates went on to state that they thought integration would (mean better understanding between civilians and Navy and lead to a "de cided rise in integral school spirit, Arguing . against the proposed change, Dr. Newsome stated that in his opinion, "This University has a double responsibility a permanent re sponsibility and an emergency one. Now we are satisfying both and the peak emergency period has passed. The most critical need for. the merger of the civilian and Navy programs is no ;LSrtyP"oWem u steadily AnntVipr nnint forouerht out aerainst t the proposal was that changing to new See PANEL, pttge U Work Underway On Next Edition justice by the glamour shot of Den- ker's." Other top-interest items in the Mag are a feature on Archaeology pro fessor Dr. J. P. Harland and an art icle by former Mag editor Sylvan Myer. Myer, an Ensign in the Navy, returns momentarily to the UNC pub lications scene he left last year to contribute a fiction-fact account of his nautical experiences. A full-page poem, "Candlelight Commandments," introduces a new Mag author Miss Jane Ruggles. Another timely but sad feature of the Mag is a story "on Andy Bershak, Carolina's great All-American who died recently. It is the history of a "man who gave his life to the Uni versity and died still serving it." With her first issue in the hands of the printers, Mrs. Cranford imme diately started work on the December Carolina Magazine and present plans call for its issuance before the civil ians start home for their Christmas vacations. CPU Head Bronson Releases Change In Plans For Wallace's UNC Speech Chairman's Trip To Capitol Hill By Bill Orth An airmail-special received last night set Saturday, December 11, as the date for the speech here by Vice president Henry Agard Wallace. Sent to Carolina Political Union chairman Lee Bronson, the letter re versed an earlier decision by the Vice president that would have postponed his appearance here, under CPU au spices, until after the Christmas holi days. At the time of the contemplated postponement, the pressing nature of "wartime Washington duties," was given as the cause. Wallace Message : In the one paragraph message, the Vice president's secretary wrote, "Mr. Wallace has found it possible after all to accept your kind invitation now and since you have stated that many stu dents are leaving Chapel Hill on De cember 12, he would like to speak on December 11." His speech will be in the nature of a flying visit, since Wallace will have to leave Chapel Hill in time to be back at his Washington office by noon Satur day. This makes it clear that the UNC address is a special one and not part of his projected Southern tour, as for merly planned. No Topic Yet j As yet, Miss Bronson has received no word about the text of the Vice presi dent's address, but she expects to learn this, along with other last minute defi nite details, when she travels to "Wash ington this weekend to see Wallace.

Navy Contract Delays Scuitlebut t Opening Chief drawback in the long-awaited opening of the Scuttlebutt, Navy canteen, is the approval of an opera tional contract, which must be for warded from the Office of the Com mandant of the Sixth Naval District in Charleston. Pete Pully, Scuttlebutt manager, said, "The required sugar ratings, needed to purchase all sugar con taining items, have arrived, and shipment on these items has been made from wholesale houses in Dur ham and Raleigh. The contract, made between the University and the Navy, and sent to Charleston for approval, is "due to arrive any day," and barring fur ther complications the Scuttlebutt will open possibly within the week after it is received. The store plans to handle a com plete line of fountain and fresh fruit drinks, excepting bottled drinks; tobaccos; cigarettes; ice cream; milk snakes; appropriate stationery for Navy and Marines; costume jewelry; school supplies; and men's shaving supplies. V-12's and ASTP trainees only will be served at the canteen. Tentative plans call for the Scut tlebutt to open at 10 a.m. and oper ate continuously until 11 p.m. . Students, with or without experi ence, are "desperately needed for part time employment." Applicants should contact H. R. Ritchie or Pete Pully at the Book Exchange immediately. f ,.''A,:': '.W v .V w i w .

In addition, seven lost their lives in non-training accidents within con tinental United States and 1& died in- training accidents in this country. Solemn Review This solemn review of what two years of war has meant to the fam ilies of University alumni was re leased here yesterday by Alumni Sec retary Maryon Saunders. Adding to the proud record of Tar Heels in World War II is the num ber of men who have received cita tions. An incomplete listing sets the total of Carolina men decorated for bravery at well over 60, with almost daily reports adding to that number, Saunders' report also listed 24 UNC graduates who are officially reported missing in action.
