PU Board Appoints
Flagler, Wallace
To Tar Heel Posts
By VITA RICHTER
Due to recent resignations, the Publications Union Board held an emergency
t meeting on Sunday afternoon at three p.m. in Graham Memorial and appointed
Fred Flagler, managing editor, and James Wallace circulation manager
respectively of the Tar Heel.
Flagler was sports editor of the Tar Heel last year under Horace Carter,
AS, USNR, and at the same time worked for the University News Bureau.
While in hieh school at Hie-h Point.
he was editor of the school newspaper, I TT"XT i a
vv eiiare u una
For Navy Men
Is Explained
"Pointer." During the past summer he
wrote sports news for. the High Point
Enterprise and handled state desk.
The new circulation manager, Jimmy
Wallace, filled this recently-vacated
position on a temporary basis from
August 27 to September 18, but the
election makes his appointment offi
cial. He is the oldest member of the
TH staff in length of time served and
is now enrolled in law school here.
"Cookie" Marett was unanimously
elected secretary of the PU Board, and
Fred Flagler its treasurer in place of
the retiring temporary members, Miss
Vita Richter and John Kerr, USNR.
The matter of the appointment of a
managing editor of the Yackety Yack
was temporarily shelved when the
board's authority to make such an ap
pointment was questioned. The his
tory of emergency appointments to
the Yack includes two appointments
by the PU board which were subse
quently approved by the student leg
islature. They were: Hunt Hobbs on
September 29, 1942, and Karl Bishop
ric on April 8, 1943.
It was pointed out by some mem
bers present that the board's only au
thority was the appointment of a busi
ness manage rsince the board's orig
inal purpose was for fiscal purposes
alone. Further it was suggested that
in the past the editor appointed the
entire staff, and last year when Tyler
Nourse was elected editor of the Yack
he appointed Cookie managing editor,
in which capacity she has acted since.
Pending a further clarification of
this matter, Miss Marett was desig
nated to act in the capacity of editor
for a conference yesterday afternoon
with representatives from the Char
lotte Engraving Co. and Lassiter
Press. This conference is necessary
now since nothing has been done all
summer on the yearbook, and new de
cisions need to be made immediately
concerning paper and layout. A dum
my is to be prepared by Cookie pend
ing further appointments.
rThus the notice which appeared in
last issue of the Tar Heel is void,
since no managing editor will be ap
pointed, but applications for editor
should be submitted to Margaret
Woodhouse at the Yackety Yack office
in Graham Memorial.
The Publications Unuion Board is
working on budgets at this time and
Floyd Gillis of the Student Audit
Board has been invited to the next
meeting on September 28 for an open
discussion.
Present at the meeting were Dr. W.
Wells, Dr. E. Hartsell, Dr. J. Lear,
Margaret Woodhouse, Cookie Marett,
Fred Flagler and Vita Richter.
False Rumors On
Expenses Cleared
The Navy V-12 Welfare Fund, com
posed of the profits derived from the
operation of the Scuttlebutt during the
period in which it was operated as a
Ship's Service, was created for the
benefit of the V-12 unit as a whole, and
according to members of the auditing
committee, none of this fund has been
spent for the benefit, of any group or
activity which did not offer equal bene
fits to all members of the unit.
This statement was issued in answer
to a number of false rumors concern
ing the alleged use of Welfare Funds
in financing several dances and parties
at which the attendance was limited
to some special group rather than the
entire unit. All of these rumors were
declared to be false and entirely with
out basis. "
The main expenditures to date have
been for theatre tickets which were dis
tributed to all V-12 men several weeks
ago, jand for various items of furni
ture including chairs, tables and ash
trays which have been placed in the
ounges of the Navy dormitories. How
ever, the dances which have been held
in Woollen Gymnasium on the last two
Friday nights were financed by the
fund. Arrangements for the last
dance were made by the Fleet Club but
it was pointed out that the dance was
held for the entire unit and was not
to be considered as a Fleet Club func-
ion.
The Welfare Fund is administered
by the V-12 Commandant upon the
recommendation of the Welfare Fund
Auditing Committee which is composed
of Capt. J. W. Marshall, Lieut. J. D.
Hill and Lieut. L. A. Rich, represent
ing the Marine V-12, Navy V-12 and
NROTC, respectively. It was added
that, although suggestions for spend
ing money and applications for such
expenditures may be made to any mem
ber of this committee, all such expendi-
ures must have the approval of the
nnTnTaTidant before they can be
-
granted.

Paul Young Is Named New
Head of Vocal Department
The appointment of Paul Young,
baritone soloist and experienced voice
teacher, as head of the vocal division
of the Music department was an
nounced by President Graham and
Dean House.
Young, an Ohioan, started his pro
fessional music activities while still
in high school by becoming a choir
director. He received his degrees' at
Ohio University and at Columbia, and
did graduate work on a fellowship at
Harvard. His experience in education
has been in the music departments of
Mercersburg Academy in Pennsylva
nia, and the Scott high school in East
Orane-e. N. J. Last season he was
assistant musical director of the Pa
permill Playhouse, a well known light
opera repertory company, in Millburn,
tN. J.
A great interest in the growth of
Carolina choral groups and a hope
that all people who can sing and like
to sing will take part in campus
choral activities was expressed by Mr.
Young.
Dr. Glen Haydoh, Head of the Mu
sic Department, commenting on Mr.
Young's appointment, said, "Mr.
Young comes to us with excellent rec
ommendations from such men as the
distinguished conductor, Sergei Kous
sevitzky, and from the well known
educator Osbourne McConnathy, and
we feel that we are very fortunate
indeed to have a man of his outstand
ing qualifications take charge of the
vocal music of the department."
i Mr. Young replaces Mr. Toms, who
has taken up quarters elsewhere.
High up in the mountains above the&
timber line in the glorious White moun
tains of Mass, Nancy Smith former
President of the PU board, Phi Beta
Kappa graduate of last June, almost
gave herself Op for lost when the heavy
mists surrounding the mountain top
hid the tiny lodging house from view.
Fortunately for her, her companions
were experienced travelers, and re-
connoitering a little down the pathway,
they found the tiny cabin lodged along
the roadway, and the frozen travelers
gratefully took refuge inside its depths.
Nancy, who hails from Brooklyn and
lived in the west before coming to
Chapel Hill eight, years ago with her
mother and sister, said she was always
interested in the youth hostel move
ment and determined that when she
was 21 she would take such a trip
through the mountains by bicycle and
foot.
She wrote to the National Youth
Hostel, Inc., in Northfield, Mass., and
received from them a reservation for
her trip, directions for preparing equip
ment and a list of necessary items.
She left Chapel Hill in August and
stopped in New York to visit her
grandmother and meanwhile made for
herself clothing that she would need.
From Wave cloth rejects she fashioned
a pair of shorts, a blouse, a skirt and
a sleeping sheet and shopping in the
store she purchased a knapsack and
other paraphernalia. By adding a pair
of seersucker shorts, slacks, a heavy
sweater, windbreaker, a pair of moc
casins and a compass she started for
Northfield ready for her adventure.
The hostels were all modeled after
the first of these, the Northfield hostel,
which was planned and founded by
Isabel and Monroe Smith. It consisted
of two floors divided into a recreation
room and kitchen downstairs and sleep
ing bunks in bedrooms upstairs,

Self -Help Students
May Be Excused From
Physical Training
Civilians who are self-help stu
dents or who are confronted with
curricnlar difficulties may be ex
cused from physical education
classes, the Dean of Students an
nounced yesterday.
Applications for these excuses
must be filed in Miss Mabel Mal
lett's office in South building by
5 pjn. Wednesday afternoon.
Meeting in their regular business
session Friday, the faculty held an in
teresting meeting in which post war
plans for extensive formulation of
simultaneous courses was discussed.
Dr. J. O. Bailey, Dr. Harry Russell
and Dr. Raymond Adams were ap
pointed by the head of the English
department to study post war plans
for their particular department. Dr.
N. W. Robson, of the Political Sci
ence department and Dr. F. C. Erick-
son, of the Geology-Geography de
partment have also done extensive
research on the new plan. Other
similar committees have been formed
and many more resolutions are ex
pected to be adopted by the faculty in
their business meetings as the plans
are construed in the forum sessions
which are held monthly.
Dr. S. T. Emory summarized the
discussion of the forum meeting held
last July and presented a motion to
the faculty business session. The fo
rum meetings do not propose or adopt
any motions. Their function is simply
to discuss plans for the betterment of
the entire educational program here,
according to Dean Bradshaw. The mo
tion as presented to the faculty meet
ing last Friday by Dr. Emory is as
follows: Moved:
That a Committee on Co-ordinated
Programs be set up to invite the sev
eral departments of the University to
offer co-ordinated programs of study
leading to desirable objectives With
in their general areas of interest, and
to advise with departments in pre
paring such programs and with stu
dents who wished to take such pro
grams or to propose programs of their
own; and to collect such programs of
study into suitable format and set
them in the University Catalog in
form convenient for students and ad
visers of students.
There is a general feeling among
educational leaders here that the
present program of education . lacks
something in that students are taking
courses aimlessly. The plans for co
ordination of study call for as an ex
ample the simultaneous study of a stu
dent in English of a novel which has
a direct bearing on say a particular
course in psychology. Various depart
ment heads and members of respec
tive departments will plan such pro
grams in an effort to present the stu
dents with the best possible schedule
of study when the student begins his
junior year.
Students will be given the oppor
tunity to plan a coordinated program
of study according to the motion made
by Dr. Emory and with the help of
faculty adviser suggestions, faculty
members feel that in years to come
the University Record will have sev
eral possible plans for such programs.
The motion calls for ..suitable publi
cation of the proposed programs in
the Record.
