New Deal man of action Lister Hill.
junior senator from Alabama and one
of the South's most spirited progres
sives, will send the Carolina Politica
union speaker program for the year
off to a bang-up start when he ad
r dresses the campus from Memorial
hall at 8 p.m. Saturday, October 7, on
the topic, "Roosevelt Must be Re
elected."
Hill will arrive from Raleigh with
Josephus Daniels, ex-ambassador to
Mexico and owner of the Raleigh News
and Observer, sometime Saturday af
ternoon. He will be met in Raleigh by
CPU chairman Jimmy Wallace and a
reception committee. A banquet in his
honor will be given at the Carolina Inn
at 6 p. m. for members of the CPU
and civil and military administrative
officials. The speech, which will be con
cluded with a question-and-answer
period, will be followed by a reception
at Graham, Memorial, open to every
one. The senator's unfaltering stand be
hind the New Deal Democrats has led
him into battles in behalf - of adequate
military preparation long before the
imminence of war, working with Billy
Mitchell in his insistence that air power
be given cardinal importance in the
military program. As a member of the
senate military affairs committee, he
came into sharp' conflict with " "Out
Bob" Reynolds, who headed that group
for some time, over the probability of
America's becoming involved in war,
the North Carolinian combatting
measures for preparedness on the con
viction that there would be no conflict.
Having done what he could to pre
pare for war, Senator Hill has since
devoted his efforts to preparation for
peace. He represents one of the "H's"
in the B2H2 (Ball-Burton-Hatch-Hill)
resolution for the establishment
and maintenance of an international
authority with the power to preserve
international peace.
In 1940 it was he ,who had the privi
lege of nominating President Roosevelt
for a third term. His backing of Roose
velt policies has been constant, and his
speech Saturday night before the stu
dent body will be a first-hand report
on the chief executive based on close
friendship and understanding. With
unprecedented enthusiasm the people
of his state have given him their un
questioned support, having elected him
to the House of Representatives seven
times without opposition before send
ing him to the Senate.
Popular with the press as one who
enjoys talking either on or off the plat
form, Hill was described by the Atlantic
Monthly in May as one "nearest to the
great 18th century Southerners, who
were at once revolutionaries and build

Federalized
Education
In one of the most hotly contested
sessions of its recent history, the
Dialectic Senate voted down, Wednes
day night, a federalized education bill
aimed at establishing federal control
and finance of public education systems.
The bill, presented by Senator Moody
of Atlanta, Ga., embraced 10 articles
and, besides several, technical stipula
tions, provided for a National Com
mission of Education in which each of
the forty-eight states would have one
representative. Appropriations for a
standardization of curricula, facilities,
and personnel were to come from Cong
ress and compulsory attendance of all
citizens between the ages of 7 and 18
was to be imposed.
Three amendments to this bill failed.
One, seeking to remove the minimum
of 9 months school terms, was proposed
by Senator Gurney but was shortly
defeated.
Previously, in business session, Sena

College For War Training To Sponsor
Civil Air Patrol Program For Campus
The initial ster in the organization
of a Civil Air Patrol flight in Chapel
Hill which will be open to college stu
dents, high school students and citizens
of Chapel Hill will take place in Ger
rard Hall October 12, according to an
announcement by Dean Bradshaw.
For young men and women between
the ages of 15 and 17 a cadet program
is offered. The national quota set for
this program" is 50,000. The primary
purpose of organization is not only to
prepare men and women for duty in
the air forces, but to ready youth for
the air ago. " -In
the cadet program 200 hours of
gr6und school instruction will beof
fered after which with the consent of
parents, cadets will be given flight
training. The army will assign trainer
planes for this purpose, Dean Brad
shaw stated. The only cost to the ap
plicant for cadet training will be from
five to six dollars for uniforms which
will be styled similar to the regular
AAF uniforms.
The quota set for North Carolina is
1,800, but according to Bradshaw
there was no indication as to how can
didates for cadet training would be
judged. Bradshaw added that he
thought that the Chapel Hill squadron
might easily secure enough cadets for
two flights, each flight consisting of
60 cadets.
The program will Jbe entirely volun
tary and any Cadet will be able to re
sign' from the program at any time.
There is no quota for adult members.
Bradshaw foresees great possibili
ties for the forthcoming program in
that Chapel Hill will have advantage
over other communities because of the
fact that experienced aeronautical men
are already located on the campus. The
instructors for the program will be
voluntary, Bradshaw said and he added
that he was confident that Pre-Flight
school officers and physics and mathe
matics instructors would volunteer for
instruction posts.
On the program for the initial steps
in organization are Captain E. I. Knott
of Burlington, who is by profession a
doctor and Lieut. CoL Dawson of Char
lotte who is in command of the Civil
Air Patrol for North Carolina. Dean
Bradshaw will preside over the ses
sion and a picture featuring Captain
Jimmy Stewart, of Hollywood fame,
will be shown. The organization will
be sponsored by the College For War
Training.

Owen Hall Elects
Slate Of Officers
In Lengthy Session
In a two hour session punctuated by
frequent debates on parliamentary pro
cedure, Owen Hall elections were held
on Wednesday night, to name officers
who will serve until spring.
Tom Robinson was re-elected to the
post of representative to the student
legislature and Marvin Morillo was re
elected president of the hall over for
mer Inter-Dormitory Council member
Lewis Heniford, who was elected vice-
president.
In the elections for Inter-Dormitory
Council, the two men who received the
posts were Bob Rolnik and Pat Kelly.
John May was elected again as Ath
letic Manager, and David Lilienthal
was chosen for the second time as secretary.
John May announced that the first
football practice for the forthcoming
touch football season would be held on
Friday afternoon.
Asiae irom- tne aecision to recom
mend Cookie Marrett to the Legisla
ture for the position of acting editor
of the Yackety Yack, the PU board
passed on a proposed appropriation of
$200 for the establishment of dark
room facilities.
The proposal which was made by
Marrett calls for the organization of
darkroom facilities which would be
available for use by all campus publi
cations, including the News Bureau.
Dr. E. H. Hartsell proposed that the
darkroom equipment be supervised by
some PU board appointee. This pro
posal was put in the form of a motion
and passed by the board. Applications
for the post as manager of the Caro
lina Publications darkroom will be con
sidered by the PU board when it meets
in regular session next Friday after
noon at 2 o'clock.
Floyd Gillis, member of the Student
Audit Board, attended the meeting as
a guest in which he made suggestions
as to the publication budgeting and in
vesting. Gillis stated that the Student
Audit Board did not desire to antagon
ize the PU board, but simply asked
that the PU board hear the audit board
views on the matter.
The surplus which has been effected
throughout the history of the PU board
has been invested in common stocks.
Gillis advised that common stocks were
no good investment for a public trust
which he considered the PU fund was.
Gillis suggested that the board place
the funds into a more stable invest
ment.
In order to cover losses which were
suffered on last year's Yackety Yack
and other expenses a proposal was
made last summer to borrow $3,000.
The proposal never got any further.
Gillis stated in the meeting Thursday
that he saw no need for borrowing
when the common stocks could be turn
ed into negotiable investment.
No immediate action was taken by
the PU board on the matter, but mem
bers of the board agreed that the board
should have at least a part of the sur
plus in a flexible investment.
Literary Sorority
Opens Membership
Chi Delta Phi, the only national
literary sorority, is accepting appli
cations for their membership com
petition. Applicants are required to
submit an original or unpublished
manuscript, eitlier poetry or prose
of any length, to Toy Easterling,
313 Spencer, before October 15.
Once a month nationally promi
nent poets and writers are invited
to discuss the finer points of writ
ing, careers and many other topics.
Marrett has had considerable publi
cation experience, having served as
business manager of the Washington
Seminary, Atlanta, Ga., annual and
written radio script for Atlanta radio
stations. She served as managing edi
tor of the Yackety Yack under Karl
Bishopric last year and was elected
member at large of the PU board for
this year. This summer she secured a
master's certificate in photography
from New York University.
The bill, as brought forth by Ways
and Means Committee Chairman Libba
Wiggins, provides that at the coming
general elections in November the
membership of the Student Council be
elected by the student body, instead of
being added to the council by self-
perpetuation. Taking its cue from of
ficial figures supplied by Captain E. E.
Hazlett, V-12 commandant, the bill
proposes a thirteen member council,
with the ratio of four civilians, two
naval V-12ers. one ROTC. and nnA
Marine V-12, in addition to two hold
over members, to be elected by the
council from its past membership.
There would be one military and one
civilian holdover member. Officers of
he council would be elected by the
campus at large, including coeds.
Three speakers favored the bill.
when the Legislature resolved into a
Committee of the Whole. One mem
ber, Lucy Lee Kennedy, expressed the
opposition's sentiments, stating that
under the present setup the Council
an equal number of United and
University Party members, whereas
the elections would not favor such
equality. Miss Kennedy continued that
the Council has worked well, and com
mended it.
Douglas Hunt, member - at - large,
keynoted the ideas of those favoring
the bill, and pointed out that while
Miss Kennedy's commendations were
"an apology in the highest sense for
a job well done" sight must not be
lost of the fact that under the exist
ing system student government is not
in the hands of the governed. He added
that the time to fight for student gov
ernment was always, and that it was
unwise to wait until it was out of stu
dent hands to revolt. He explained that
we cannot lose sight of the gains of
150 years of student government on
the Carolina campus because of an
emergency situation.
Other speakers in favor of the bill
were Cecil Hill, a law student, and
Bob Gurney, an undergraduate.
The amendment will come before the
Legislature for a final vote next
Thursday.
The Legislature also passed a bill
providing for the election of holdover
members, until elections. Three vacan
cies exist at present. The holdover
members will be chosen by the legis
lature from the ranks of former mem
bers.
