The Tar Heel plans to return to a daily basis
January 1, 1946. Tuesday night the Publica
tions Union Board set January 1 as the tenta
tive date to begin supplying Tar fleel with suf
ficient funds for a four-page, regular sized is
sue six days a week.
Thursday night Tar Heel Editor Bob Morri
son announced the decision to the staff, and set
the stage for an extensive schedule of expan
sion which will begin immediately.
William Pugh, manager of the Orange Print
shop, which prints the Tar Heel, stated that the
presses would be ready for a daily in approxi
mately sixty days. The Editor stated that the
staff would also be ready in sixty days, but the
PU Board hesitated to authorize the necessary
expenditure so soon. The first of next year
was set as a tentative date; there is hope that
the Tar Heel may go daily sooner. The PU
Board felt that the finance of the paper was
the most pressing problem. It was stressed
that a large volume of advertising would be
necessary to maintain the daily. Circulation
Manager Harrison Tenney believes that he will
soon be able to organize a circulation staff cap
able of handling daily distribution. ;
The United Press has promised to install a
teletype printing machine in the Tar Heel edi
torial offices. The Atlanta office of the United
Press stated that about a one-month notice
would be required. Because of the arrange
ment with the United Press, the Daily Tar Heel
will contain the latest foreign, national, and
state news. The daily will be able to compete
with Durham, Greensboro, and Raleigh com
mercial newspapers.
To handle the daily, the Editor has set up a
new, expanded organization which has already
been operating for the last two issues. There
will be six editors in charge of news coverage:
foreign editor, news editor, managing editor,
sports editor, desk editor, and copy editor.
There will also be a circulation manager, a busi
ness manager, an associate editor, and several
assistant editors. There will be several com
mittees and boards to perform specific func
tions. The PU Board suggested one amendment to
the Editor's organization. The Board desires
to appoint a managing editor who will be re
sponsible to the Board for the management of
the paper. However, the fact that the Editor
remains supreme in all decisions was repeated.
The Board asked the Editor to recommend a
managing editor; any student may apply for
the position of managing editor.
As the organization now stands, no foreign
editor has been appointed. Jack Lackey, news
editor, is in charge of assignment of news beats
and receipt of copy from reporters. Howard
3Ierry, managing editor, makes up the first
and last pages and is in charge at the print
shop. Carroll Poplin and Irwin Small wood are
acting as co-sports editors in charge of page
three. Dot Churchill has tentatively been ap
pointed desk editor, and writes headlines for
the first and last pages.
Jack Shelton is copy editor and heads a staff
which edits all copy and rewrites according to
Tar Heel style. Circulation Manager Harrison
.Tenny will organize the news boys who will de
liver the paper every morning before classes.
Betty Gaither, the business manager, is re
sponsible for the finances of the paper and the
solicitation of advertisements. The associate
and assistant editors have not yet been appoint
ed. Bill Hight, the former associate editor, is
expected to return in November. His duties
were to make up the editorial page.
The next two months will witness a whole
sale expansion of all branches of the Tar Heel
staff. Numerous training programs will be
held for the seventy-five students who applied
this term for staff positions. Although the
number of applications greatly exceeds the
number of persons required to publish a daily,
the Tar Heel will attempt to give everyone
some opportunity to contribute to the daily.
Today there are over one hundred persons af
filiated with the Tar Heel. Even though there
is no shortage of personnel, the Tar Heel is
still soliciting experienced assistance. The Tar
Heel will always admit any student to its train
ing program in college journalism.
Walter Damtoft, the last Editor of the Daily
Tar Heel, brought the publication to a close at
the end of the spring term of 1943. At that
time the draft had almost annihilated the male
staff. The printshop was working at a loss to
maintain the contract. At first the Tar Heel
became a weekly, but under the editorship of
Kat Hill, a semi-weekly publication was begun.
After Kat Hill, the Editor's chair was filled
by five different persons in one year. Horace
Carter, a V-12 student, who defeated Jimmy
Wallace for the editorship in the spring of
1944, was transferred to another college and
replaced by Muriel Richter, a PU Board ap
pointee. After the PU Board fired Richter,
Fred Flagler became Acting Editor, but was
replaced by Charles Wickenberg in November,
1944.
During the past 15 months, the staff has been
in a state of rapid transition. However, the
staff stands today at the highest peak in num
bers since the beginning of the eighteen-year-old
draft.

Six Issues Clear
At First Session
Of Coed Senate
The Coed Senate cleared the slate
of six important issues at their first
meeting of the year last Tuesday
night. The Senate passed unanimous
ly the four bills brought before it,
heard a report on recent decisions of
the House Privileges Board, and ap
proved the appointment of Twig
Branch, secretary of the Woman's
Government Association, to fill the
temporary vacancy of W. G. A.
Treasurer Travis Hunt, who will not
return to school until November.
Betty Barnes, reporting from the
House Privileges Board, told the
Senate that fraternity houses would
not be open to coeds until September
24. Girls eating at the houses may do
so if they arrive no more than 15
minutes before meals and stay not
later than 15 minutes after.
In the past coeds have been allowed
to enter fraternity houses two weeks
following the opening of school. This
year the board felt, according to Miss
Barries' report, it would be better to
wait until sorority rushing had end
ed before extending house privileges.

For Services
To New Vets
Committees And
Officers To Be
Elected Monday
At the reception of the University
Veterans' Association last Monday,
Carolina vets got acquainted with one
another and laid groundwork for fu
ture service to returning vets.
The reception preceded a regular
meeting which takes place Monday,
when an executive committee and
various sub-committees are to be
elected. A' program for the coming
semester will be presented for amend
ment and approval.
Pinch-hitting for Bill Smith, presi
dent, who was ill, Blount Steward,
secretary, welcomed the newcomers
and gave a short explanation of the
aims and organization of the Asso
ciation. UVA, with over 170 members,
is today the largest group on the
campus, he said.
The main purpose of UVA is to
help the veteran when he returns to
the campus. Through arrangements
with the University faculty and ad
ministration, vets are no longer re
quired to take . physical education.
Easy financial loans have been made
available.
Through UVA, Tar Heel ex-G. I.'s

to them. Colonel Shepard will be on
the campus in the near future to eval

Tebbel, Jaffee Compete For
V-12 Student Council Post
By Mary Hill Gaston
Jack Kirkland has been nominated by the Student Party and
double endorsed by the University Party for the position of head
cheerleader in the coming special election next Thursday. A mem
ber of Zeta Psi fraternity, Kirkland has been a member of the
cheerleading squad for several months. His nomination by both
the major political parties has made his election virtually certain.
Other positions to be filled in the-
eiection next Thursday are two R. O.
T. C, representatives to the Legisla
ture and a V-12 representative to
Honor Couneil.
Allan Pannill, chairman of the Uni
versity party, announces that George
Tebbel will run on the U.P. ticket for
the Honor Council position. R. O. T.
C.'s Tom Wicker and Fred Bauder re
ceived U.P. nominations to fill the two
vacancies in the Legislature.
Student Party .Chairman Frank
Ross listed Aaron Jaffee as his party's
nominee in the race for the V-12 spot
on the Honor Council. Opposing Wick
er and Bauder for election to R. O.
T. C. seats in the Legislature will be
Jack Hester and Irby Todd.
Though Kirkland's election to the
chief-cheerleading post is practically
a certainty, next Thursday's voting is
expected to arouse wide interest
among V-12 and R. O. T. C. men on
campus.
Mag Coming Out
The Carolina Mag is scheduled to
make its first appearance of the fall
term today. Circulation will be made

Dogpatchers Will Infest
Campus For Autumn Ball
By Fay Maples
A traditional Sadie Hawkins Ball
is to be held in November, for the first
time in two years, the Carolina Mag
has decreed. Al Capp himself will be
consulted for suggestions to insure a
good ole' gathering in genuine Tar
Heel style.
All elgibule fimales best start whit
tlin' on coon conkers and gittin' an
eye on all elgibul males. Campus eo
eds, pigtails, gingham, and trim
mings, will start the evening with a
mad rush from the "Y" to catch their
dates, which of course will be drug
to the party to join in on the fun (all
track stars is disqualified). A wild
square dance is anticipated with a
"bouty" contest as the climaxing
event; the winners, the Li'l Abner and
Daisy Mae of the N. C. campus, will
be featured in the following issue of
the Carolina Mag picshures and
stuff.
The last of these affairs received
rational publicity in newspapers, Life
magazine and movies. Editor Connie
Hendren hopes to put Carolina back
on the map with some of the same
publicity. As yet, the orchestra for
the traditional event has not been an
nounced, but rumors promise a nice
surprise. Details, place, definite date,
etc. will be published later. But re
member when Pa dons his flannels,
Sadie Hawkins Day is jest around the
corner. Admishun is free; only re
quirements: use spitoons and leave
yore Kickapoo Joy Jooce in the bushes
outside. All Hillbillys is expected to
attend cuss yo'!
Communications
Center Planned
For University
The Trustees of the University of
North Carolina have announced plans
for establishment of a communications
center at Chapel Hill, which will ex
tend the influence and the work of the
University and provide a new and far
reaching service, not only to the de
partments of the University as a
whole, but also to the people of North
Carolina, and the entire southern re
gion. The purpose of the communications
center will be to provide a service for
extending the teaching and training of
all departments of the University be
yond the limits of Chapel Hill, Ra
leigh, and Greensboro; to provide cur
rent materials and to produce new ma
terials which will assist teachers at
the University and throughout the
state; to train interested students in
both the creative and technical use of
the various media of communications.
Its purpose will not be to change or
supplant, but to extend and assist. It
hopes to be of service to all the edu
cational institutions of this region in
Teaming to use and apply the new tools
and the new techniques of education,
developed before the war and during
the war and now only beginning to be
released.
This ceater will coordinate all media
of communications. Plans provide for
a frequency modulation transmitter
and studies, connecting with a chain of
F.M. educational stations in other
colleges and the public schools through
the state. Allied with radio, such ser
vices as recording, public address sys
tems, and studio laboratories will be
made available to all. The present
distribution library of motion pictures,
slide films, charts, slides, and illus
trations will be greatly 'enlarged. A
motion picture and slide film produc
tion unit will be organized to produce
new educational and documentary
films. As the center grows, there will
be an experimental television station
and perhaps a facsimile station. The
University Press, the University Li
brary, and all University departments
will be vital parts of the communica
tions center. '
