CPU Poll Opposed
Trimester Before
Graham Speech
The Carolina Political Union an
nounced that prior to the meeting of
the faculty on Tuesday, at which time
the trimester system was recommend
ed, student opinion on the topic was
seven to one in favor of the present
quarter system.
The CPU's poll, which was held from
early morning until mid-afternoon in
front of the YMCA, showed that 304
students favored the quarter set-up,
while 44 favored trimesters.
It was pointed out by CPU members
who manned the polling booth that
while many civilians seemed to real
ize the University's financial plight,
they thought that the difference in dis
cipline between civilian and Navy stu
dents in combined classes would cause
- conflict.
Fifth Bond Drive Lags
Far Below Campus Quota
With eight days remaining, the Fifth War Loan drive on the campus has
collected only one thirtieth of the $15,000 quota in sharp contrast to the last
bond campaign which amassed a grand total of $26,000.
Although there are difficulties being encountered in the current campaign,

says Miss Fay Beeks, publicity chair

of selling bonds and stamps has been
done by co-eds, but chairman Beeks
says that more salesmen are needed,
and that the bond campaign is a pro
ject in which every organization and
every student on the campus should
take part.
Sales Average Down
The sales average in the Y building
bond booth has been from a daily av
erage of $60 in the 4th War Loan drive
to a current average of $35.
At the end of the last drive, there
was a "Miss Victory" dance, at which
the admission was a 50-cent war stamp,

Steele Elects New Set
Of Dormitory Officers
Action Follows Big Political Mixup
By Barron Mills
Climaxing a two weeks' political controversy occupants of Steele dormitory
ruled out the first election of summer school officers this week by a petition to
the Inter-dormitory council and elected a new set of officers for the session.
The new officers elected; to serve during summer school were : president,
Grail Dance Tonight
Tops Week's Frolicking
Coeds were reportedly putting an
extra curl in their hair and the lads
an extra shine on their shoes late
last night as time drew near for the
first big social event of the current
summer session, the Grail dance
scheduled from 9 until 12 tonight at
Woollen gym.
Advance sale of tickets has been
good, it was announced, and pros
pects were for a banner affair. Coeds
have wangled late permission until
1 a.m.
Freddy Johnson and his band will
handle the music. Advance tickets
have been going for 60 cents, but ad
mission at the door will be 90 cents.
This is the first of two dances plan
ned for the summer by the Grail.
The second is scheduled for Aug
ust 5.
Summertime Graduates
Must Apply for Their
Degrees at South Now
All students in the College of Arts
and Sciences who plan to be grad
uated this summer should file an ap
plication for a degree at 203 South
building if they have not already
done so.
and voting for "Miss Victory" was done
by the purchase of a war bond. This
time, with a reduction in the funds al
lowed for bond sale publicity, such a
dance could not be given.
Army Show Planned
In the remaining time, students have
many opportunities to buy war bonds
and stamps. As announced, ' salesmen
will attend all dances and public meet
ings to sell bonds. On July 14, the
night before the campaign's end, the
Army Air Force dance will draw a large
attendance. v
As of July 1, the war bond sales for
Orange County were $491,816.50, with
the, individuallv - nurchased bonds
amounting to $210,929.50. ;
Three New Student Council
Bill Tripp; vice-president, Bob Shaw;
legislature, Allan Pannill; and athletic
manager, Emmanuel Deoudes.
Charging that the first elections held
were "unfair," 75 residents of Steele
signed a petition to the Inter-dormitory
council for a re-election. The
Steele boys gave several reasons for
wanting a new election. Carroll Pop
lin, first elected president of Steele,
was ruled out of office after he had
been elected. The Steele boys said
that if any candidate was ineligible for
holding an office, the candidate should
have been ruled out before the elec
tion and not after it had been held.
Influence Charged
Another charge the dorm occupants
made in their petition was that there
had been influence at the poll at elec
tion and the candidates were not given
the privilege of sending a representa
tive to watch the votes being counted.
The petition -was presented to the
Inter-dormitory council after the coun
cil members had been discussing for
two hours the question of holding Steele
elections again. Before the petition had
been presented to the council they had
already come to the conclusion not to
hold another election but when the pe
tition arrived the council went over all
the details of the matter and voted to
open all offices of Steele. They also
agreed to revise parts of the election
rules in the constitution and post them
in all sections of the dorm so that there
would never be another confusing
episode.
Section Is Still
Free Of Polio,
Richardson Says
"The present poliomyelitis situation
dtfes not call for compulsory restric
tive measures here as yet," Dr. William
P. Richardson, district health officer,
said Thursday.
"The incidence in this section of the
state cannot yet be considered above
normal, although it will not be sur
prising if the total incidence for the
summer should rise above normal
levels."
Suggestions for protective measures
include avoidance of over-exertion,
avoidance of swimming in water that
is too cold or staying in too long, all
possible control of flies and no travel
to the infected area except for the
most urgent reasons.
There has been only one case of
polio in Orange County, occurring six
weeks before the present epidemic Re
strictive measures will be instituted if
the situation demands.

WA VE Yeoman Attached
To College V-12 Unit
By Vita Richter 7
One of the best advertisements for the WAVES is to be found in the person
of Yeoman Rose Kachigian who arrived to be permanently attached to the
V-12 program at the University. A five minute chat with this bright-eyed
miss is tantamount to being subjected to a several hour pep rally on "Why
one should volunteer for the WAVES." :
"Reggie" entered Hunter college in
New York on February 10, to com
mence boot training. The transfer
from easy and free civilian life to
scheduled, order-taking military rou
tine was a 'drastic one, and entailed
more than the shearing of her curly,
black hair. The rules and regulations
of the navy had to be committed to
memory, and excuses were taboo.
The Big City
The high-light in Rose's life at this
time was the fifth week-end when the
recruits were given liberty from noon
until eleven that evening. Rose and
many of her friends were in the "Big
City" for the first time, and after a
long ride in the noisy subway, they
wended their way to Radio City. Here
they whiled away the hours skating at
Rockefeller pond, dining in the Eng

IRC Discusses
Post-War Reich
In Faculty Forum
Expressing the one dissenting
opinion inan international Relations
club panel of four university profes
sors on the subject of disposition of
Germany, Dr. Helmut Ruhn of the
philosophy department said Wednes
day night, "Ultimately reason and ra
tional procedure do not go with vin
dictiveness, but with brotherly feel
ing." Dr. Kuhn opposed dismemberment
of the country, referring to the unity
of the Germans and warning that they
would comprise an insoluble minority
in any nation.
Professor of medieval history, Dr.
L. C. MaeKinney, predicted that the
arrival of the Russians in Berlin
would complete the task of liquidation
of Nazi leaders not already disposed
of by that time. ,
"I know of no reason why the Ger
mans should not share the experience
of others existing as minorities," said
political science head Dr. C. B. Rob
son in approving grants of German
territory to bordering states. "They
lived happily as small states until just
recently and did not come together by
popular movement."
Dr. J. C. Russell, professor of his
tory, would institute a limited mon
archy in the conquered nation. By
viewing history as a single consistent
pattern, he concluded that peoples who
have been for a long time ruled by
absolute monarchy are bewildered by
sudden democracy.

The following week upon completion
of this phase of her training, Rose

largest training centers in the navy.
Here she received a more concentrated
form of instruction, and spent her
weekends in nearby Tulsa.
There were more rules and regula

vividly the cost of the infraction of a

Nominees
The issue of going on the trimester
system has been a controversial one
here since last winter when the faculty
voted down a proposal to adopt the new
academic schedule.
Dean R. B. House has pointed out
that although the regular University
will be on trimester Carolina will
open as advertised, with freshmen
registering September 1 and old stu
dents September 19. Classes will be
gin September 20, and from then till
November 1, there will be a term
similar to the summer six weeks,
with examinations and credit for
work in that period.
Professional scnoois here are not
affected as yet, and it was stated by
House that if matters affecting them
arise in the proerram. thev will be
studied later. Further details as to
schedules for the remainder of the
year will be released later.
Dr. Graham Speaks
Speaking at a meeting called by the
student body Thursday night, Dr.
Frank Porter Graham, president, gave
the reasons for the proposed change
to the trimester schedule to synchro
nize with the time-table of the Naval
V-12 unit on the campus.
He said that at the beginning of the
war the highest military authorities
were set against using colleges and uni
versities as training centers for their
military specialists and officer material.
University and college officials all
over the country realized that this,
coupled with conscription of young
men, could easily ruin the educational
institutions financially. These edu
cators sought to persuade the author
ities to utilize the campuses of the na
tion's institutions of higher learning as
training centers.
At first Washington was reluctant to
do more than allow trainees to study
courses other than those directly tying
in with military and naval needs. How
ever, they were gradually convinced
that a tradition of liberal education
and culture could not be broken. And
the Army and Navy collegiate training
programs were launched.
It was pointed out by Dr. Graham
and Dean House, who preceded him on
the platform, that in the unsynchro
nized program certain favored instruc
tors were denied to both servicemen
and to civilians.
Dean House said that this was un
fortunate because students at Caro
lina took courses for the instructor
raiher than for the catalogue num
ber, and that they resented being de
nied instructors whom they preferred
because they were on the other
