"We are letting them know in ad vance to avoid confusion," the editor of the annual said. The first printing will be available to the V-12ers only. The reason for this is that the print ers can only get about 300 copies here a day and the V-12 start their exams soon. Those V-12ers who have not paid for the annual or their senior - pictures sbould contact Harvey Gunther at Gas ton Hall immediately. This will pre vent confusion when the circulation of the annuals begins. On the next V-12 pay day, February 3, those V 12ers who did not sign for the Yack and who would like to have a copy, can do so by paying $3.50. There will be only a limited number of these or ders, so reservations should be made right away.

A rii i l i' ociaF Groiups To Sponsor 14 n Contest Ms Bond A Tar Heel Edit "Do wear your new suit daughter . But don't venture near the water." And so a paraphrase of the old jingle becomes a summarization of the action taken on the coed point system question by the latent coed Senate. At the time when every organization on campus is crying for more aid from coed members of the student body, the coed Senate has decreed, from their sagacious sessions over the matter, that coeds at the University of North Carolina are too immature to be expected to step forward and take an equal stand by the side of the male students in the tremendous job of pushing the wheel of the University forward into its third year of war. Verbatim, here is the bill passed by the Senate on January 26: 1. The point system shall be an advisory evaluation system of coeds on the campus. t 2. The chairman of the committee shall be a member of the Senate, appointed by the Speaker, and shall work with the Dean of Women's office and the Infirmary. " 3. Any coed who wishes to carry more than the maximum number of points shall appear before the advisory committee, for permission to carry the additional points within a week after any position is offered her. An analytical evaluation of the trf-point bill shows that, in the eyes of the Senate, the Carolina coed with brains and ability enough to step forward and take over important campus offices is not capable of employing her brains and ability toward regulating the amount of work which she considers herself capable of undertaking. And so the coed Senate "in conjunction with the Dean of Women's office and the Infirmary" has set itself up to play nurse maidnursemaid to women whom the officials of a University at WTar consider mature enough to assume full-grown jobs in the workings of the University, women, indeed, whom the United States government considers mature enough to ask to don uniforms in one of the armed forces, or overalls in a war plant. "At the shore your suit's a honey But if you test it you'll be punished!" Art Exhibit Will Extend Into February By Harriet Dyer Adams The. double.. exhibition of primitive, African Negro Sculpture and German Expressionist prints is continuing at Person Hall Art Gallery, Chapel Hill through Feb. 9. The sculpture was brought here by the local chapter of the AAUW and is from the collections of the University of Pennsylvania Mu seum. The African Sculpture is causing great interest because it is an unusual display of works which are not often seen. The grotesque quality and dra matic vividness of the sculptures may shock the observer who sees them for the first time, but it has a stimulating effect on all! Sculptures The exhibition is made up of actual wood or ivory sculptures, enlarged pho tographs of other famous sculptures, and is supplemented by maps and full explanations of the significance and use of the objects. The material is or ganized according to geographical lo cation. No North African or Egyptian works are included of course. This is the art of the primitive artist, or possibly recent artist working in the ancient tra dition. The culture which is revealed by these sculptures is fast dying out as the European culture encroaches upon the African. But its significance is seen in the mutual interchange of influences between the European and African cultures. For example, the See ART EXHIBIT, page U October will be delivered to the houses from which they were ordered by Feb ruary 1. If anyone who has ordered these pictures fails to receive them, he may issue a complaint to the YY office in Graham Memorial. Absentees Those V-12ers or civilians who have left the campus may write to the Yack ety Yack office for the yearbook if they desire to have a copy. Bishopric urged students here to relay this message to friends who have left and who might be interested in securing a copy of the annual. ' For those people who left before Christmas, there is $2.70 left to be paid before they can secure a copy of the YY. Civilian students who came in Christmas must pay $1.40 before they can secure copies of the Yackety Yack. After publication of the annual any one who wishes to secure copies of pic tures may place their orders with mem bers of the Yackety Yack staff. For Selection Of 'Miss Victory9 rDrive Enters Initial Phase Di-Senators Will Select New Members The Dialectic ; Senate met Wednes- Uy night and formulated plans for a new membership drive. Rene Bern ard, Chairman of Membership, told the Senators that "due to the loss of several members during the holidays, there are now 14 vacancies to be filled. The Di has a maximum enrollment of. 40 members. Application blanks were given to three potential visitors and it was announced that during the next two weeks students may seek en rollment either by obtaining appli cation blanks at the regular meetings or by contacting various Senators and applying for membership through per sonal interviews with the Membership Committee. No student may be voted into the Senate without first having been passed on by members of this Committee. Constitution In its business session the Di added three amendments to its Constitution. The Resolution calling for the Di's opposing a fourth term for President Roosevelt was defeated by a slim ma jority. Next week the Di will debate the bill Resolved: "That the United States Government, through Congressional legislation, should abolish all state poll taxes which are used as a pre requisite for voting eligibility." The Di meets on the 3rd floor of New West every Wednesday night at nine o'clock. YMCA To Sponsor Religious Emphasis Week With Dr. Raines Leading Campus Forums Religious Emphasis Week, spon sored biennially by the YMCA, YWCA and Chapel Hill churches, will pre sent to the campus lectures and for ums under the leadership of ten or more guest ministers during the com ing week. Leading speaker of the series will be Dr. Richard C. Raines of Minne apolis Methodist Church. With stu dents of the University of Minnesota and with his own congregation of 3500 members Dr. Raines is so popu lar that it is necessary for him to hold two Sunday morning services each week, one at 10 o'clock, another at 11. Public Meetings Dr. Raines will speak at four pub lic meetings: tomorrow morning at 11 o'clock in the Methodist church, and tomorrow, Monday and Tuesday eve nings at 7:30 o'clock in Hill Music Hall. . Immediately following the evening . $ Tourney Head Makes Public Topic Change A group of second-round debate win ners were surprised Thursday night by the announcement made by Bill Crisp, co-chairman of the intramural tourna ment, that the debate question for the semi-final rounds was to be changed. Nothing was said concerning this before-hand to any of the teams, there fore no one had the slightest precon ception that the debate topic was not to continue as it was. . The new subject is resolved: That the Congress of the United States should pass a National Service Act providing for the drafting of men and women for essential war-production work. Altering Plan Crisp explained that this change was not the result of any sudden decision, but was planned over three weeks ago by the Debate Council itself. Appar ently, only the co-chairman of the tour nament actually knew just when the question was to be altered. He also ex plained, however, that the Debate Coun cil had not made such a ruling before due consideration had been given to all the circumstances involved. "Debating," Crisp said, "is not the determination of any particular side of a query as being correct. In reality, it is the art of persuasion, applied for the purpose of convincing opposition that you are right, whether you are or not." Efficient Way Crisp went on to say that changing the question would also be a more ef ficient way of actually determining the better debaters. One week was given for the prepa ration of the arguments on the new topics. Grail Initiates Dozen Students An even dozen of civilians and Navy students were initiated into the Order of the Grail this week amid a series of initiations. The following boys, following formal initiation Thursday night, were in stalled as Grail members: Charlie Benbow, Kenneth Black, Bob Burleigh, Buddy Crone, Jack Fitch, Meredith Jones, Bill Lee, George Lewis, Turk Newsome, Bill Stevens, Charlie Vance and Bee White. The Grail, founded 20 years ago by Carolina's philosopher Horace Wil liams, had as its original purpose the establishment of better relations be tween fraternity and non-fraternity men. Since this objective has already been accomplished to a large degree the Grail has become a service organi zation. Its members are chosen from among those boys who are prominent for their service to the campus. X RAINES meetings there will be eleven house forums in the various student resi dence halls. These 45-minute sessions Favorites Entry Photos Are Displayed In Y' Lobby By Sam Whitehall Fourteen coeds have been entered in the first round of the pin-up girl contest which will determine the cam pus war stamp queen, "Miss Victory."

"Miss Victory" will be chosen by war stamp ballots. The purchase of one ten-cent war stamp entitles the buyer to one vote, while a bond bought at the post office or the bank is worth 250 votes.
