According to the terms of the new Debate council budget, 14 cents will be collected in the" fall quarter .13 cents in the winter quarter, and 13 cents in the spring quarter. The bill was originally expected to go into ef fect in the winter quarter of 1941, but Garland proposed that it go into effect in the spring quarter, rather than the . winter, becausewinterqarter jregis tration is already under way and the forms can not be changed. His pro posal was unanimously accepted. Slag Budget Reasonable Garland reported that the Mag budget was "entirely reasonable" and it was unanimously approved.

Lavender, Lace and Women Invade 'H' for Houseparty , By Ernest Frankel . Pink bedspreads, lace-covered furni ture, lavender throw rugs, and fancy curtains took the place of old Buc caneer jokes, cigarette butts, and Es quire cartoons when H dormitory's his tory markers moved out over the weekend to make way for 90 house partyq dates from every part of the state the first girls to find out "how it feels to live in a boys' dormitory." The mass of beauty learned fast. With their dates scattered about the campus making last minute plans for the banquet, scavenger hunt, party, and dance which followed, a couple of gloat ing "newspapermen" invaded the new- y-decorated boudoir of the dormitory president. The girls posed for some pictures, gave an insistant "no" to a requested phone number, and then started a typical dormitory bull ses- ... . - - - - sion. Exfeiisioii Plans Approved By Engineering Division of WPA University Engineer A. H. Hollett predicted yesterday that final approval of a $208,677 expansion program for the University's airport would be re ceived from the Works Projects Ad ministration before the end of the week. Hollett disclosed that the plans for increasing facilities almost ten-fold over those of the old Chapel Hill air port already have been approved by the engineering division of the WPA. The request has yet to be passed byt the WPA projects division, which will base its decision on the availabil ity of funds. The engineering group reviewed the plans only from a tech nical viewpoint and had nothing to do with the actual allocation of funds. At the airport, the preliminary lay ing out of the runways and the set ting of grades has already begun. How ever, real work cannot be started un til the final approval. No equipment can be requisitioned unless the project has already been assigned its official number. It will then take about two weeks to start official grading which calls for the moving of some 450,000 cubic yards of earth. Drainage will be facilitated by stone aprons and spillways laid down be side the runways. Replacing the old ones, tnree new runways win De con structed, one 4,500 feet and the other 4,000 feet . : : . ; , , . The present hangar, after it has been moved 450 feet from . its present lo cation, will be remodeled with a con crete floor and metal sides and roof. Three small cottages now on the area to be graded must be torn down and removed. ' 1 Faculty Plans To Consider Honor Council The faculty executive committee and the student council, striving for closer co-operation and more effective handling of honor-council cases, will stake the work of several years on the approval of their plan at tonight's meeting of the faculty. The proposed changes, by which the groups hope to eliminate the diver gencies encountered in their work, are as follows; That hereafter all cases involving possible violations of the honor system discovered by members of the faculty be reported to the office of the Assistant Dean of Students; that all evidence and data on the case be turned over to the Student council for record and for trial or such other disposition as the council thinks wise; that the council refer cases to the faculty executive committee for study ing evidence if it wishes, with the re quest that after the committee has examined the case, it return to the council-its verdict; and that all sen tences for violation of the honor sys tem be passed and recorded by the Stu dent council; provided that exceptional cases may be referred directly by the Assistant Dean of Students' office to the faculty executive committee if the circumstances make it advisable. Everyone liked the idea of dorm houseparties. A sugar-voiced brunette from Wadesbdro suggested .that "the boys hold a houseparty once a month." That started a discussion of the trouble involved and a blue-eyed freshman from W. C. thoughtfully suggested that "it must have been an awful lot of trouble for the fellows to make everything look so pretty." A bundle of blonde curls admitted that she . had "looked through the bureau drawers to find out jf there was another girl's picture ami couldn't believe that boys keep things so clean." Another bru nette agreed because she had found the same situation when she "tried to find some letters." - ' The subject changed to "the girls back at school" and all the gossipers believed that the first question they will answer when they leave Chapel ' See 'IT DORM, page 4.
