A group of interested visitors took part in the open discussion which soon centered around specific problems which the conference members had considered during the V nast three weeks and potential problems of the future. One of the leading points of dis cussion was the present policy of our State Department and its head, Stet tinius. Many members of the Union expressed opinions which indicated that they i were afraid that lack of experience of . some of our delegates to San Francisco might eventually re sult in the United States being sub ordinated in importance to Britain and Russia in the world security or ganization. " Many people present expressed the fear that the American press with its anti-Russian slanting of the . news would continue to present a real prob lem to those trying to establish friend ly relations between the major Allied powers. 5 Various sides of the question of al lowing Argentina a seat in the con ference were discussed as many mem bers stated the belief that Stettinius was too hasty in pushing this ques tion when Russia was asking for time to consider its advisability. Before adjourning the Union agreed to discuss war crimes and the punish ments of offenders at its next regular meeting in the Grail Room of Graham Memorial next Sunday night at 8 O'clock. ' . ' ..

WGA Head Thinks 'Early Bird Gets Worm' Sailor's Picture Appears In Room At least one coed on the Carolina, campus, this land renowned for its noon-day risers, defies tradition by getting up at 6 o'clock in the morning. And she doesn't have to, either. She is Ruth Duncan, new president of the Woman's Government Associa tion and one of the most recently tap "V ped members of Valkyries, highest honorary coed organization on campus. This wonder woman of the campus often gets up at 6 o'clock in the morn ing to read, write letters or (atten tion, professors!) to study. From then on, she keeps' busy and "happy," she says. Besides her many duties and responsibilities as WGA President, she is active in the YWCA, ' Women's Glee Club and is a Tri Delt. Although she has tried to become a Carolina hillbilly and confidentially claims she is a "Yankee at heart," having been born in New Jersey, this flower from Florida calls St. Peters burg home.

H. Hipps, Jr. Gene Johnstone, editor of the Yackety Yack says the Yack WILL come out this year, but due to "several difficulties," it may be a little late. Johnstone is planning to go to Charlotte this week in order to talk to the printer and get them to set a definite release date for the Yack. Previous editors had patterned their' Yacks after the old ones, but the new editor decided to give the students something "new and different," so the whole layout was completely redrawn. Inside the red and gold covers, sun dials, hour glasses and clocks empha size the "Time" theme of the book j which was SUggested by the sesqui- centennial anniversary of the Univer sity. Staff Announced The staff is as follows: Margaret Woodhouse, business manager, Evelyn Cheek, Davis and Nancye Helm, as sistant editors, Joe Denker, Photog raphy editor, Catherine Sloan, editor, professional section, Sara Spratt, edi tor, activities section, Don Ryder and Fred Poldrugo, co-editors, fraternity section, Carroll Poplin, sports editor, Bob Wadsworth, art editor, Betsy Dickson, editor, senior section, Jeanne Parry, editor, sororities section, Mar garet Fountain, personnel manager and Bob Colepaugh, Irby Todd, Shirley Rivers, photographers, and Winston Briggs, index compiler, and Boots All sopp. The history of this year's Yack, even before Gene was elected editor, is one of the most turbulent of any Yack. Tyler Nourse was elected editor of the 1945 Yack last spring. He left school during the summer. When the Publications Board appointed Cookie Marett acting editor early last fall, it was already late to start work on the Yack. Everything looked good for the Yack when Cookie was elected editor by '"the ' student" body' last "November. But then due to scholastic reasons she had to resign this spring. The PIT Board and the student legislature ap pointed Gene to fill out Cookie's unex pired term. Besides having three different edi tors, the Yack was faced by other ma jor difficulties. The Yack finally won its financial battle after wrestling with the PU Board and giving the second annual Beauty Ball. Priorities delayed the arrival of an enlarger for two months. Joe Denker went to New York to see about this matter personally. After the enlarger finally did get here, further priority troubles with respect to sorely limited film and printing paper delayed the work for another month. In the midst of all this turmoil, they had to move the Yack office down to the Thomas Wolfe lounge of Graham Memorial from the second floor. Even before they got settled in their new home, the yellow flames of fire reached out, damaged their typewriters, and destroyed material delaying them an other two weeks.
