The University is the first school to grant credit for pre-flight training. 13,000 Cadets More than 13,000 naval aviation cadets who have completed training here since May, 1942, may receive credit from Carolina on request, since the recent University ruling is retroactive. A thorough analysis of the entire pre-fiight program was conducted be fore UNC officials granted credits for courses taught. It was found that the staff of the pre-flight school ranked high in teaching experience. Over 40 per cent of the instructors have ad vanced degrees, while as many as 25 per cent have their Ph.D. degrees. Just Recognition "The University's action is a just recognition of the content and stan dards of the Pre-flight course and of the painstaking work done by a compe tent staff of teachers,", Dr. Graham said.

Noted Tar Heel Reviews Navy Carolina's highest ranking alumnus in the Navy, Rear Admiral Osborn B. Hardison, attended the review of the Pre-Flight School's Second Anniver sary ceremony and watched his alma mater play the Cloudbuster nine. Admiral Hardison, the Chief of Naval Air Primary Training, stated that he was "happy to be in Chapel Hill even if only on business and he ex pressed a desire to come again soon Before the transfer to his present position, Admiral Hardison command ed the aircraft carrier Enterprise, which was honored by the presentation of the Presidential Unit Citation. Ad miral Hardison was decorated with the Navy Cross for "extraordinary hero ism and conspicuous courage" in sav ing the carrier that he commanded from destruction by Jap planes in the battle of the Santa Cruz Islands. De spite terrific dive bombing and torpedo attack, the planes of the Enterprise inflicted heavy damage on Jap surface craft and planes. It was in this battle that the carrier Hornet was sunk. Graduating from Carolina in 1911 at the tender age of eighteen, Hardi son was a consistent honor roll student. A member of the German Club, he also belonged to the Athletic Association and Phi Delta Theta. Interfrat Council New officers of the Inter fraternity Council were elected at a meeting of that body. They are, Gid Gil liam, president; Bill Ellis-vice-president; Bill McKenzie, secretary; and John Barry, treasurer. Diver Hunts for 'Granny' In Depths of Eastwood UNC Student Finds Maggots In Boat That Suspect Martin May Have Used Crime took the spotlight in Chapel Hill's back yard this week, as Caro lina's favorite swimming hole became the scene of fruitless search for the body of the "missing grandmother." Pushing the war news clean off the front pages of the state papers and creating the topic of conversation in all "bull sessions" on the campus is the recent mystery of Eastwood Lake, or where is the body of Granny. Lake Being Drained Draining of the lake loomed as a possible solution to the proem of finding the body of Mrs. Edward M. Jewett, who was supposedly thrown in the lake by Edward J. Martin, after several unsuccessful attempts were made by a professional diver. It is known that law enforcement authorities have conferred with attorneys representing owners of the lake, and it is reported that the owners have given their consent to the lowering of the water level by five feet. . Draining began Thursday night. Mike Beam, student of UNC and lifeguard at the Eastwood park lake, went swimming with him a Sunday morning. Martin questioned him as to the depth of the water. When the car left the scene, Beam was walking along the road. He noticed a vile odor, but it failed to impress him. On the morning after the body was supposedly cast in the lake, Beam discerned maggots in the boat which may have been used by Martin. The odor was also present around the boat. Edward Wiles Edward Wiles, local student, also loomed in the headlines of the Durham Sun. The Sun staff, not knowing who he was, speculated as to the part the student played in the murder. Wiles signed the register above Martin's name and the signatures are reported strikingly alike. Thursday afternoon the Durham police said that they thought they had some clue as to who Ed Wiles was. Police said that he probably was a Duke student who was better known as Peter Wiles. Not with Martin When questioned Thursday night, Wiles said that he was not with Martin at any time. He did sign his own name in the register, as was the custom, Tuesday afternoon. Wiles also said that he does not remember seeing Martin and that he did not sign Martin's name or have it signed in the guest book. Students over the campus, who were swimming at the time, felt sick sud denly when they heard that a dead body was supposedly thrown in the swimming hole. The reason of course is obvious. Most swimmers swim under the water and take in certain amounts of it. The thought of mag gots in the water is not a pleasant one. Popular Resort The Eastwood lake was a popular resort for Carolina students who, de siring a place to take a swim and get a little sun, visited the location frequently. The recent case of murder connected with Eastwood has curbed its activities immensely. If the lake is drained completely students will have to wait a long while before they will be able to return to their popular bathing hangout. A five-foot limit to lowering the level of the lake has been set by the owners Half Million Estate The victim of the murder, Mrs. Jewett, was reported to have an estate worth approximately one half a million dollars. Martin refused to comment on the matter, but deposit slips of banks were found on his person plus a key to a Durham safe deposit box, which indicated that the crime was com mitted in order to gain the inheritance which Martin would have received. Last seen on May 10 in Boonville, Mo., she was inspecting property with Martin. They left from Charlotte. Today will -mark the 17th day the 67 year old wealthy Missouri resident has been missing. The maggot infested woman's apparel accompanied with strands of gray hair found m the boat and in the trunk of the car, led officers to believe that the body might not be intact . . . with the quantity of blood and flesh which has been found, officers believe it likely that the body was cut un Thi campus sleuths to think that the body of the missing grandmother will causes not be found in Eastwood. Don Redman Slated To Play For German Club Functions First Big Band Since Dance Cut Don Redman's orchestra, the first im ported dance band to hit the Carolina campus since the dance expenditure bill was passed two years ago will play for the German club dance Friday evening, June 2, and two concerts Sat urday afternoon, June 3.
