Stubbs Quits As Head Cheer
Leader; Flagler May Leave
Walt Brinkley, chairman of
the beard of elections announced
Sunday night that Bill Stubbs,
- head cheerleader, has submitted
his resignation to take effect im
mediately.' The announcement
came on the heels of an unof
ficial report that" Fred Flagler,
who left school recently, had re
signed as editor of the Yackety
Yack and President of the Pub
lications Union Board. Brinkley
stressed the fact that he had re
ceived no official word from
Flagler and that until he does,
his board will not take any ac
tion on the case. As the Tar
Heel went to press Sunday night
Flagler could not be reached in
time to verify the rumor.
In a letter to Brinkley, Stubbs
said that he would be unable to
return to school this fall and
that he was leaving to join the
merchant marine. Stubbs was
an active member of the cheer
leaders during the past two
years and in April of this year
he was elected head cheer
leader. 'The office or offices, if Flag
ler does resign, are such that
they demand immediate action
Brinkley said. "We want to fill
them as soon as possible. There
will also probably be a seat va
cant on the Debate Council and
one or two in the legislature, al
though nothing is definite as yet.

The qnestion of jobs for women, es
pecially now that the war i3 over, was
discussed in a panel at the closing ses
sion of the Institute of Business and
Professional Women's Clubs here Sun
day night.
Approximately 50 presidents and
other officers of clubs throughout the
State participated in the Institute
which got under way Friday and which
served as a substitute for the annual
convention of the State Federation in
accordance with ODT regulations.
Leaders in the discussion at the final
session were Felix Grisette, Executive
Secretary of the State Planning
Board; Dean D. D. Carroll of the "Uni
versity School of Commerce, and Miss
Kathryn Cook, vocational adviser to
women in the University. Miss Mabel
L. Bacon, of Charlotte, Secretary of
the State Federation, presided.
What jobs may be in store for wo
men in the postwar era, how to se
cure them, and the place the ex-Wac,
Wave or Marine may find, after she is
released from service were discussed
from both the employer's and em
ployee's viewpoint.

Campus Cafe
To Pay $200
Fine To OP A
Following a meeting of the Chapel
Hill Price Panel Monday, Clarence
Heer, chairman of the Panel, an
nounced that the Campus Cafe had
been fined $200.00 following charges
brought by members of the Tar Heel
staff headed by Jack Lackey and Rob
ert Morrison.
At first it was proposed to fine the
cafe only $50.00, but following a meet
ing with a representative of the North
Carolina Office of Price Administra
tion, it was decided to raise the fine
to be more proportionate with the vio
lations committed. The maximum fine
which a local board can levy for a
single violation is ?50.00, but the rep
resentative from the state OPA point
ed out that each violation could be con
sidered as a separate offense.
The Campu3 Cafe was found guilty
of the most severe offense which can
be dealt with by the local board. The
violations committed were tnird in
four, degrees of severity.

Navy Heads May Reduce Carolina
Pre-Flight By Half In Near Future
Tar Heel MaylJtt
Go Daily In
Near Future
Plans for the Tar Heel to resume
publication as a dally paper were
given great stimulus by word re
ceived from the United Pres3 that
their radio wire service on state, na
tional, and international news could
be made available on the Tar Heel's
request.
The only major obstacle now in
the way of the resumption of "The
Daily Tar Heel" is the lack of print
ing facilities. William Push, owner
of the Orange Printshop, who prints
the paper, has expressed his desire
to co-operate in the publication of
"The Daily Tar Heel" on a six-days-
a-week basis. There is at the present
time a shortage of make-up men,
linotype operators, and pressmen
which makes necessary delaying of
the publication of a daily. Mr. Pugh
expressed hopes that the publication
could start within two months.
The Tar Heel is going ahead with
plans to increase its staff to sufficient
size to handle the publication of a
daily paper.
The Tar Heel first became a daily
in the fall of 1929. It served the stu
dents from that time until 1943 when
war conditions forced it to become a
weekly. It since has been published
first on a weekly and later on a semi-
weekly basis. The "Daily Tar Heel"
was the only student daily published
in the Southeast. It held a first class
honor rating given by the Associated
Collegiate Press of the National
Scholastic Press Association. Re
sumption of this publication i3 the
hnmediate sum of the Tar Heel staff.
By special request of South
Building the Tar Heel will reprint

Government Institute Issues
Summary Of New State Laws
A 60,000-word summary of the new
laws passed by the 1945 General As
sembly, just prepared by the Univer
sity's Institute of Government staff,
was sent out to municipal and county
officials throughout the State this
weekend.
The publication, which was issued
from the Institute'3 main office here,
was compiled by the same staff which
conducted its daily and weekly legis
lative information service for city and
county officials from Raleigh during
the 1945 session.
Albert Coates, Director of the In
stitute, gave high praise to Peyton
Abbott, Clifford Pace, John Fries
Blair, Miss Nancy Fewell, and Miss
Edna Clark for the daily and weekly
legislative bulletins and the final sum
mary just printad.
The purpose of the summary, it was
explained, is to supply officials a con
cise, handy summary of the new acts
affecting their governmental units
prior to the publication of the session
laws, and also to provide local offi
cials a guide in their use of the session
laws for the next two years.
The 1945 Legislature passed 1,450
new bills and resolutions, which are
organized and analyzed in the Insti
tute's summary under 17 main sub
jects, as follows:
The 1945 Legislature Background,

By Marjorie Bond
William T. Couch, soon to leave
Chapel Hill to become Director of the
University of Chicago Press, is known
generally in the book world as the
man who is The University of North
Carolina Press. For 20 years the
Ptc been his work and his
play.
In the early days of the organiza
tion he did a little of everything
typing his own letters, editing manu
scripts, reading proof, persuading
local printers to get good type faces
and then to learn how to use them
well, designing books and going out
on the road to sell them even wrap
ping and mailing a book now and
then if a customer telegraphed a rush
order and the stock room was already
closed.
The Press has grown during these
20 years. Today, with a list of some
450 titles ranging from fiction to
nHlnsonhv and from "The Wasted
Land" to "The Floor of the Ocean,"
it is considered "the most dynamic
cultural force of the South."
Countryman at Heart
But you wouldn't learn about this
from Mr. Couch. The only things a
friend of his might hear him boast
about are the tenderness and superior
Savor of some, sweet corn he planted
or the number of trees he cut down
one week-end when he was thinning
out the weeds around his home- He
is a handy man with an axe, and he
prides himself on it.
He says he is a countryman at
heart, and perhaps he is. Though the
village of Chapel Hill seems quite
rural enough to many people, when
the Couches bought land on which to
build their home they went two miles
out of town to a hillside covered with
oak and hickory, dogwood and virgin i
pine. He talks about "my corn" and
"my garden," but most of the gar
dening around the place is done by
Mrs. Couch. And he admit3 frankly
that hell be glad when he won't have
a lawn that always needs cutting.
The reason for this isn't hard to
find. Whenever he digs in the garden
or mows grass he does it furiously,
the way he does everything, with
out stopping until he's finished. Any
one who works like that in Carolina's
summer weather may well look for
ward to the time when he doesn't
have any more grass to mow.
He used to nlay tennis the same
way, and then he switched to ping
pong not for a rest but because he
had a couple of daughters at home
who wanted to learn the game. He
played with them until they were both
able to beat him. Then he quit.
Fond of Music
Probably the only restful thing he
does is listen to music. He has a fine
collection of records; and if there is
a record player on that mythical
desert island on which so many men
are washed ashore, hell be perfectly
happy especially; if he has Bach's
Brandenburg Concertos.
Contrary to current fashion, W. T.
Couch's avocation is closely akin to
hi3 daily work. He reads for fun. He
may spend all day reading a manu
script, and if he doesn't carry it
home to finish during the evening
which he frequently does he reads
something else. He's always reading.
In an academic world where men con
centrate more and more on their spe
cial interests, he stands out as widely
and well read.
His personal library is large, be-
cause ne uses to own tne Doois ne
reads. Searching for good inexpen
sive editions of standard works, he
has found very few, and this realiza
tion led to one of his favorite pub-
shing projects: some day he hopes
to bring out such book well edit
ed, well designed, well printed, and
inexpensive and then to find a way
to get them into the homes of the
people.
If there is something of the ex-
horter about William Terry Couch he
comes by it naturally. He is the son
of a minister. He was born on De
cember 4, 1901, in Pamplin, a little
village in Prince Edward County, Vir
ginia, where his father was the min

Cut Will Be Fifty Per Cent
By Bnddy Glenn
, From authoritative sources the Tar Heel learned Sunday that
the Navy Department plans to reduce the Pre-Flight School as
much as 50 per cent in the near future.
the Navy Department on the
Pre-Flight School is undeter
mined but the Cadets were asked
in a questionnaire whether they
would like to return to civilian
life, return to the navy with
their previous rating, or remain
in the system as cadets. Noth
ing has been decided about the
status of the local unit, but
something: in that regard is ex
pected within a week.
Came In 1942
The local Pre-Flight School
came to Chapel Hill in June 1942
under contract with the Univer
sity to use its facilities during
the war as part of Naval Avia
tion Expansion Program. One of
the prominent Captains of . the
local unit are Commander
"Scrappy" O'Kessing, later of
Guadalcanal fame, and the pres
ent Commander James P. Raugh.
Expanded Facilities
Since their arrival the school
has expanded the facilities that
it used considerably. Improve
ments have been made on sev
eral dormitories and Alexander
Hall had to be renovated to be
of use as an office building. They
have constructed several new
buildings such as the "Navy
Hall," a social gathering place
for Cadets and their families,
the outdoor pool behind the
gymnasium, and some improve
ments of Fetzer field housing,
and other minor improvements.
Under the terms of the two con
tracts made in June 1942, the
University agreed to use of its
facilities in the first. In the
second the University agreed to
buy any improvements made on
the portion of the plant used by
the Navy on an improvements
depreciation basis. Some of the
houses were found to be under
Naval standards for housing
and office work. The University
Dining Hall served the naval
personnel with meals at cost. It
was a non-profit venture for the
University with her, being able
to maintain her plant even with
over two thousand students
leaving for the armed services.
The Navy reserved the right to
cancel the contract within a no
tice of 90 days.
President Of Seniors
Not To Appoint Class
Committee This Term
The appointment of the senior class
committee will t postponed until
after the start of the September
term, Pete Pully, president of the
senior class, announced Sunday night.
"It would be unfair to leave these
people out of the committees since
there are so many of them who will
be graduating in November who are
not here this summer," Pully stated.
The majority of the work done in
connection with the graduation is
done by special committees appointed
by the senior president.
Plans for a senior banquet and a
senior picnic as well as the choice of
a commencement speaker are to be
made by these committees. The pres
ent senior class will graduate in No

UNC In Good Position For
Reconversion Says Durham
By Sam Snmmerlin
"Reconversion from war to peace is

Durham, graduate of the University
and former Chapel Hill pharmacist
who found himself in Congress in
January, 1&39, when he was named to
succeed Judge Lewi3 Teague of High
Point, who had died during the campaign.
"The University ha3 been able to re

made numerous provisions for aiding

tinued, "and I believe tnat primarily
because of these two reasons the Uni

Congressman Durham, a resident of
Chapel Hill, has been here cn vacation
for a short while, but he returned to
Washington the 27th of thi3 month, a
week before Congress reconvenes, to
begin work with the House subcom
mittee Number Two, of which he is
chairman. This committee has the re
sponsibility of war surplus property
and personnel of the Army, and also
it is in charge cf legislation for the
War Department. Mr. Durham's
most immediate problem i3 the draft,
which, in his opinion, should now be
stopped. However, the most difficult
task ahead, Mr. Durham stated, is the
repid discharge of soldiers, almost all
of whom now wish to return to civilian
life. The bottleneck, Durham said,
lies in the fact that every soldier has
to be processed out by a doctor, and,
as it now stands, there just are not
enough doctors to do the job in a short
time. Nevertheless, much has been ac
