Coed Senate Bids For Unity, Plans Changes TTip CnaA Ronflfo nlflns three sweep- ing moves in a drive to bring about greater unity among Carolina women. The4 first step was taken at the last meeting, when a bill was passed to put the election of the Speaker to a general campus vote, instead of to an election by the Senate itself. A bill to make amendments to the Coed Constitution subject to the ap proval of the Senate instead of to the vote of all coeds at the general elec tion will be brought up for approval at the meeting in Graham Memorial next Tuesday night at 7:30. The Senate also plans to vote Tues day evening on the proposal of a special monthly Coed Hour to offer women an opportunity to mscuao. their representatives the policies of the Women's Government Association. It was suggested that these Coed Hours should be conducted in an en tertaining manner with a theme for each program. " "Coeds, here is your chance to take an interest in campus policies and to voice your opinions," said Kitty Kelly, speaker of the Coed Senate. "Remem ber that each representative is elect ed by you to look after your problems. Tell one of them your personal-reaction to these proposals or come to the next Senate meeting yourself."

Twenty-nine bat talions of cadets trained here have al ready completed their aviation train ing. 8,500 of them are now with the fleet or at shore stations.

F-3U7 Final. -s SAUNDERS Modest 'Spike' Saunders Wins Hiffh Honor Alumni Secretary Is Named National President of Group J.f Maryon Saunders is the new president to the American Alumni Council, comprising 350 member col leges throughout the country, but to the 25,000 alumni of the University of North Carolina, he's still plain "Spike." Saunders' election to head up the na tional organization of alumni officials, which has just been announced, was regarded here as a fitting tribute to both him and Carolina, but "Spike" took the honor, as he takes everything else, in stride. Mr. Saunders is rounding out his 17th year as University Alumni Secre tary, having taken over the post two years after his graduation here in 1925 His long tenure has been marked by steady growth and progress. Two of the highlights were the setting up of the new alumni office and center at the Carolina Inn and the Association's 100th birthday celebration (1943). The "Alumni Review," which he edits, re cently won the national award for the best editorial page, and the Associa tion's membership has reached the i highest mark in its history. The current emphasis is being laid on keeping war records and contacts with alumni in service. The Univer sity has 7,500 sons in the armed forces now, and Mr. Saunders and his stan are in correspondence with thousands of them through magazines, news let ters, and personal letters. Mr. Saunders' first duty, in a nut shell, is liaison officer between the University and its alumni.

He is an old Carolina man, however, for he graduated in the Class of 1912. He was a member of the Golden Fleece and was active in other campus or ganizations. . " 13 Years at WC After his graduation Teague became Superintendent of Schools for the Town of Sanford, N. C, and of Lee County. He also was Superintendent of Schools at Asheboro for one year. After a 13 year stay at WCUNC as Assistant Controller and Business Manager Teague returned to the place he loved, Chapel Hill. "Coming back to the University is a great thing," Mr. Teague remarked. "Every day brings interesting prob lems to this office. -Not only does it have charge of the University Budget, but it also directs and coordinates all the separate business units of the University."
