Joe 'Eager Beaver' Lehman Mated Tods As Politician Has Been At It For Four Years By Bob Pearce, USMCR Officially elected "Eager Beaver" of the class of '44, lively Joe L. Lehman is a behind the scene politician who for four years has played a role in campus politics. During his freshman and sophomore years, he was a mem ber of the Student party steering com mittee, and since then, he has been a member of both the University party and the United party steering com mittees. For the lowdown on UNC politics over the past four years, just see Joe Lehman. He has many interesting tales that he gladly relates about the numerous elections that he has taken part in. As for college polities itself, Joe calls it hag-ridden by red tape, buckpassing, and ignorance of the (Coed Nuambei Student Poll Proceeds Under IRC Sponsorship? Balloting To Continue Throughout Day - By Bob Rolnik . Tar Heel News Editor - In the first questionnaire of its kind at Carolina in over two years, the International Relations club launched ocated balloting places throughout the student opinion on significant world problems. Ballot boxes began to fill early this and V-12ers took time out between periods to fill-in with their own opinions the brief and simple, mimeographed copies of the "IRC Poll." Voting places will open at noon in the Caro lina Inn, Swain hall and Graham Me morial, and are scheduled to close be fore six this evening. IRC members will man the balloting tables till the termination of the straw vote. Final results of the "IRC Poll" will be published in the next issue of the Tar Heel. Tabulations will also be sent to various state newspapers and other periodicals. "The purpose of this IRC poll of opinion," explained the acting-president of the club, "is to encourage all students to discuss intelligently, the vital problems of foreign affairs which face America. The IRC is a non-partisan, student organization and there fore does not represent any particu lar point of view. Differences of opin ion on important questions of .policy are the essence of democracy and our club merely seeks to determine the general attitude of students at Caro lina." -: The preliminary list r of questions were drawn up . with the aid of vari ous professors by Vincent Williams, USMCR, and Robinson Everett, of the special "IRC Poll" committee. In addition to today's "IRC Poll," See STUDENT POLL, page U Navy Veteran To Teach Here By Jim Dillard, USNR Lieut. U. J.

Miss Bason has made several other appearances in Chapel Hill during her stay here this summer. She sang at the First Presbyterian Church last Sunday morning and plans to render several numbers at the Episcopal Church this coming Sunday. She is also scheduled to make an appear ance before the soldiers at Camp But ner Thursday night. Although she usu ally sings classical music, she will sing popular numbers at this performance. Johnsie said that although it might seem unusual, she has no partic ular hobbies other than music, and she detests playing bridge.

Mrs. M. H. Stacy, in charge of the women's housing reported that a larger coed enrollment was expected than the University has seen in the past few years. A special committee met Saturday and decided not to ac cept any more coed applications be cause of the limited housing space. Al though Carr dormitory has been turned over for coed housing there is still a great demand for more hous ing arrangements. The committee decided that due to changing conditions at the University all applications from coeds would be put on a waiting list and if temporary arrangements for housing could be ar ranged the applications would be ac cepted. At the meeting the committee seri ously considered housing the coeds on the -waiting list in the fraternity houses that the Navy is turning back to the fraternities on November 1.

Freddy Johnson Still Going Strong After Decade As UNC Campus Swing Band Leader Works in Munitions Plant in Carrboro By Irwin Smallwood, USNR Tar Heel News Editor Wartime conditions have changed a lot of things at Carolina, but Freddy Johnson is still going strong as a top notch campus swing band leader after a decade of conducting on the Hill. Johnson, just 'Freddy to the ma jority, entered the University of North Carolina as a freshman in 1933 and even then as a first year man, the ver satile UNC jive master played sax and clarinet with Bow Bowman, local or chestra. And the following year, while majoring in pharmacy and chemistry, Freddy formed his first band, a 14 piece group. And from that year to the present date, Freddy has had a band here at Carolina every year but one. He was graduated from UNC with a degree in pharmacy in 1938, and in 1939 Freddy did some post graduate work here in chemistry. The Pearl Harbor year of 1941 found Freddy doing post graduate work at Duke university in the chemis try of explosives, and in that same year, he took a position with the mu nitions works in Carrboro, where he has been employed ever since.

Hailing from Atlanta, Georgia, sena tor Moody has just reason to sponsor such a bill. Sharing the opinion of many southerners, she believes that Georgia would stand to profit from such a progressive measure, as would all the southeastern states.
