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 s' Navy Releases List Of V-12 Transfers; NROTC Shifts Navy V-12 headquarters has just released the names of 102 men who are being transferred to other colleges at the end of this trimester and the names of twenty men who are being retained here for their upper level training.

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.

Publications Granted $200 For Dark Room Audit Board Member Heard By PU Group AND Comiin A Column of Campus News Notes . . . Briefed for the Busy 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.

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.

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.
