Service Act
CPU Poll Shows
Campus Opinion'
Results of a student opinion poll
conducted last week by the Carolina
Political Union on the subject of a
national -service act reveal that a ma
jority here believe present manpower
shortages the fault of administra
tive mismanagement and over-optimism
and are unwilling to solve the
problem by drafting men into essen
tial industry.
This is contrary to the findings of
the Gallup poll published earlier this
month which discovered a sizeable
majority in all 48 states in favor of
a service act.
Gallup Poll
Said Gallup: "As far back as March
1942 the vast majority of the public
in all parts of the country favored
the proposal that the government
should have the power totell each
citizen what to do as his part in the
war effort and require him or her to
do it . . . Moreover, at no time since
our entry into the war has a majority
of the public been opposed to the
principle of national service, provid.
ed and assuming that the people were
convinced of the need for it."
The most decisive opposition was
expressed against the drafting of
women between the ages of 18 and 45
for essential industry. To the query
"To eradicate the manpower short-
age, are you m iavor oi a national
service act to draft all men between
18 and 65 and all women between
18 and 45 for essential industry?'

Magazine To Be Out
Some Time This Week
The third issue of the Carolina
Magazine, which promises to be a
large improvement over former issues,
is expected to be distributed some time
this week according to the editors.
With the usual conglomeration of
humor, so-called literature, photos
and features the Magazine has a spe- i
cial theme which even the printers are
not aware of ... so say the editors j
again.
South Building
Plans To Clamp
Down On Neglect
Of Academic Work
A committee to look into the aca
demic eligibility of students who par
ticipate in extra-curricular programs
has just been formed and will begin
functioning at an early date next se
mester, according to an official South
building statement.
Dean of Administration, ' R. - B.
House, found that some students are
neglecting their academic work to
participate in other activities.
The committee will work in coop
eration with and along the same lines
as the Athletic Committee. The Uni
versity catalogue calls for a commit
tee of this type on page 97.
In a letter written to members of
the faculty and committee Dean House
stated the following facts.
"The academic deans are always
having difficulties trying to persuade
students to, make a reasonable appor
tionment of their time; but nobody is
functioning under the legislation to
stop students from holding student po
sitions when, as a matter of fact, they
are not functioning as students at all.
"Perhaps if students are denied the
privilege of holding office and function
ing during the term just as athletes
are subject to such discipline, we
might get more " effective -warning
across to them.
"At any rate, I noticed this year one
man deliberately devoted himself to
the Yackety Yack until he had flunked
put of the University, and the same sit
uation applies more or less to a wo
man student, though I believe she has
been allowed to continue in the Uni
versity. "In fact, I don't know but what stu
dents should be declared ineligible for
dances and a lot of other social func
tions if they are not doing reasonably
good work.
"Please do not take remarks made in
this letter as conclusions on my own
part. We simply have not had ma
chinery to function as definitely on
other student activities as we have
had to function on athletic activities,
and we are allowing situations to de
velop which come very near resulting
in tragedy from time to time."
Dance Committee
Adopts New Policy
On Case Decisions
The University Dance Committee
voted at a recent meeting to adopt a
new policy of publishing 5an the Tar
Heel an anonymous report of the de
cision made on any case referred to
it for disciplinary action.
The following is a statement con
cerning the most recent case.
"A former student who is not now
enrolled in school -attended a dance
on the campus while under the influ
ence of alcohol. He was approached by
several members of the dance com
mittee and asked to leave the dance. -
He refused to leave in spite of re
peated requests, and, in fact, became
very discourteous in manner.
, "His case was referred to the Dance
Committee for action, and in view of
the fact that the subject man is ex
pected to return to school here next
term, the decision was that he be sus
pended from all dances held on. the
campus between now and the begin
ning of the summer term on July 1,
1945."
Literary Club
will be the book for discussion when
the Carolina Literary Society meets
this coming Thursday in the Horace
Williams Lounge of Graham Memo
rial. The meeting will start at 8
o'clock and continue until the book
has been thoroughly discussed and
members have nothing more to say.
The public is invited.

group follow?:
Full Statement
Recently when the Faculty Execu
tive committee and the Student Coun
cil met jointly, order in class rooms
during examinations was the main
topic of discussion. Because most
cases of proven cheating have oc
curred yin disorderly and noisy class
rooms, those at the meeting agreed
that a statement be made for the
guidance of the instructor during the
examination, and be presented to the
faculty for its consideration and ap
proval. The following points were
unanimously accepted at the meet
ing: (1) The instructor sets the ques
tions only on the work for which the
students have been made responsible.
(2) In testing successively two or
more sections of the same class, he
gives different questions in each sec
tion examination. (6) lie arranges
for the students alternate seating
when the size of the room permits;
when alternate seating is impossible
and when the test is "true-false" or
"multiple-choice," he gives alternate
examinations. 14 ; He answers any
proper query about the meaning of
the question. (5) He maintains order
and quiet. (6) He keeps in touch with

Play makers Ready
For Experimentals ,
Sam Selden, head of the Drama De
partment, has announced that the
101st Bill of Experimental Produc
tions, to be presented Thursday, Feb
ruary 8, at 7:30 in the Playmaker
Theatre, will be composed of "the fol
lowing student plays: "From Child
hood's Hour" by Randy Brooks, "Joy
ful Noise" by Phyllis Sullivan, and
"Tears of Poison" by Frances Chesh
ire. "From Childhood's Hour," which is
being directed by Joan Martin, is a
psychological tragedy built around a
medically discharged soldier. Sulli
van's play, a comedy about an ortho
dox minister who is shocked by the
antics of his congregation, is being di
rected by Martha Gillespie. lib
Stoney is directing "Tears of Poison,"
a domestic drama of a woman whose
true character is revealed . when her
husband disrupts her comfortable
home life by joining the army.
a
meeting sponsored by the Institute
for Research in Social Science at 3
p. m. in room 403 of the Alumni
building. The session is open to the
public and will be followed by a tea.
The speaker has made front page
headlines not only as the guiding
force of the vast and successful
$750,000,000 Tennessee project, but
as the recipient of continuous at
tacks by Tennessee's friend of the
canning interests. Senator McKellar.
Last year the senator was successful
in pushing through Congress a pro
vision directed at Lilienthal requir
ing senatorial confirmation of all. ap
pointments to executive agencies
carrying salaries of $4,500 or more.
Proposal .
The feud springs from a contro
versy over the erection of the Doug
las Dam which Lilienthal had pro
posed in order to obtain an additional
100,000 kilowatts of power for alumi
num expansion. The land to be flood
ed covered 12,000 acres owned by in
fluential canning interests, friends of
McKellar. Having fought an unsuc
cessful battle on this issue, the sena
tor has since attempted to attach a
dog collar" to TVA to make it run
to Congress for every cent of its ex
penditures. McKellar, attempting to
put the New Dealer under his thumb,
was chairman of -the - appropriations
committee.
Discussion
It is supposed that Lilienthal will
discuss his formula for democratic
development through government co
operation with the people. . He be
lieves in the centralization of govern
ment and the decentralization of the
administration of its agencies, as is
exemplified by the TVA. v
The speech will be followed by a
question-and-answer period, after
which a reception will be held at
Graham Memorial in order that the
public may meet and converse in
formally with the TVA chief.
Hinton James Day
To Be Celebrated
At Convocation
Students and former students of
the University will join together Feb
ruary 12 in commemorating the ar
rivari50 years ago of the first stu
dent to enroll at Chapel Hill. The ex
ercises will be held in Memorial Hall
as a morning convocation of faculty
and students.
High-lighting the program here will
be talks by former Congressman Wil
liam B. Umstead '16, of Durham, who
is President of the University Alumni
Association, and Douglas Hunt, chair
man of the student Sesquicentennial
Committee. President Graham and
Dean House also will take part in the
exercises.
Hinton James, the first student, ar
rived in Chapel Hill on February 12,
1795 some four weeks after the Uni
versity was officially opened on Janu
ary 15, 1795. James came from Wil
mington and, following graduation.
was & distinguished engineer.
Since Hinton James a total of
44,802 students have matriculated at
the University for its regular courses.
Thousands of others also have come to
Chapel Hill for summer schools, short
courses, institutes or nave laicen eor-
respondence work. Of the 44,802 ma
triculates, 34,432 are living. Approxi
mately a third of the total matricu
lates were graduated; others, al
though they have not received degress,
are nevertheless counted as Carolina
alumni and alumnae.
It was the arrival of Hinton James
in Chapel Hill which gives the Uni
versity of North Carolina its claim to
being the oldest existing state univer
sity. The University of Georgia was
chartered earlier than North Carolina,

Lilienthal will also speak at
