As the third president of the stu dent body this year Newsome will head the Student Council and fulfill other presidential duties until the spring elections. He has been a mem-. ber of the Student Council since last spring. At Carolina Newsorae's position and honors have been many. This fall he was chosen for Who's Who among American Colleges.

Last year he headed a successful war bond drive and was chief marshal at graduation. New Orientation One of Newsome's bigest problems as acting president will be the orien tation of 300 new V-12 men who ar rive at Carolina Wednesday, March 1. These men, 75 per cent of whom will be from the fleet or naval shore stations, must be made familiar with the Carolina honor code and the Car olina way of life. Newsome will head a Student Coun cil composed of 15 members. The civilian membership was brought to its complete number this week when the.student .legislature approved - the Council's suggestions for three new civilian members. New Council Members The new men are Howard Gray, Bill McNeely and James Traynham. They were chosen by the Council in a series of interviews and meetings at which a committee, of the legisla ture was present. All three men are qualified for their positions. Howard Gray, who leaves Carolina in tTune, 1945 was representative to the Student Council nominating committee at Reynolds See NEWSOME, page U Harvey Hamilton Elected Speaker Of Legislature Harvey Hamilton was elected tem porary speaker of the Student Legis lature by the members of that body Tuesday night to replace Reid Thomp son who leaves Carolina today with NROTC first and second classmen. Hamilton, a third year law student from Morehead City, has been a mem ber of the legislature for two years. He has been serving this year as a holdover member and chairman of the legislature's most important commit tee, the Ways and Means Committee from which all bills originate. In Law School Hamilton has been a student at Carolina f or five years and is now president of the Law School. He will complete his course in June and leave at that time. The first problem which will come before the legislature during the com ing quarter is the report of an investi gation committee appointed to investi gate the Tar Heel, the Coed Senate and Spencer house council. The com mittee will have its final meeting next week and reporjt its findings to the legislature. Future Plans When questioned aboufhis plans for the legislature Speaker Hamilton said that he hoped to have a bill drawn .up concerning the discussion of bills in troduced on the floor. He desires a bill which would require all proposed See HAMILTON, page U Friendship Council The Freshman Friendship Council will meet in Graham Memorial at 8:00 P.

"No officer with whom I have talk ed," said Jacobs, who is Chief of the Bureau of Naval Personnel, "expects anything but a bitter struggle of mounting ferocity. Gradually we are assuming the offensive on a scale that has hitherto been impossible. But we are still a long, long way from Tokyo." Not Too Late "You who are about to leave Chapel Hill for further training elsewhere will not be too late for the fight, he stated. "Before victory is won you will be experienced competent officers in the most powerful Navy in history. You will know hardships and utter fatigue as thousands of Naval offi cers and mere' already know them. You may know fear, but you will learn to disregard it as they disre gard it." "Best of all," continued Jacobs, "you will know the enduring satisfaction of Hamm .

Army-Navy Tests The Army has stated that it will make use of the Qualifying Tests that are to be given March 15, however, they will select a smaller quota of men 18 and over, than they did after the last test. The Navy plans concerning these tests are unchanged, therefore, the V-12 and A-12 qualification tests will be given as previously planned. All pre-med students who plan to go into the Army must take the A-12 ex amination to qualify for the advanced medical programs. Praises Carolina For Training Job emphasized by Admiral Jacobs, Under certain conditions, he pointed out, to put ashore a single regiment of army troops may require an equal number of naval personnel in the landing op erations alone. Moreover, not in cluded in this estimate are the per sonnel required to man the many com batant ships of the fleet which must be present for protection throughout the attack. Landing operations on a far greater scale are planned, he stated. The land ing craft program already announced entails the production of 80,000 ves sels, miscellaneous small craft and rafts, v This staggering total is an index of the Navy's mounting per sonnel requirements, and of the need for accelerated training in the Navy's college program. Superior Teamwork Teamwork can be decisive, said Ja cobs. Individuals may shine in sports, but it is superior teamwork in combat that is winning victories for the Navy. Never underestimate the part pride in your unit plays in the quality of team work, Jacobs advised the departing Navy men. Strive to excel in master ing detail.

Plans, as yet incomplete, are being made for a banquet to be held at the Carolina Inn immediately preceeding Bricker's speech in Memorial Hall, and for an open reception in Graham Me morial after his speech. The Governor's speech, which will be directed mainly toward the South, will be braodcast through radio networks covering most of the Southern states. Question Period "We are working on tentative plans for a proposed question period after his broadcast", added Chairman White. "Such a question period would follow the same order as those of pre vious CPU programs in which we presented well-known speakers, with members of the audience writing their individual questions on cards provided for that purpose, and these questions being handed to the speak er by Union members acting as ushers." Bricker, who has served as Gover nor of the . state of Ohio for three ' successive terms, announced his can didacy for -. the presidential nomin ation on the Republican ticket sever al weeks' ago at a Lincoln Day din-r ner speech in Washington, D.
