A Tar Heel son and alumnus was the first "big-Navy secretary." An other conceived and executed the Perry Expedition which opened up the Orient to western civilization. And third headed the, record wavy ex pansion and troop transportation of World War I. . Call it coincidence or just one oi those things, but the iaci renu that the contribution of this State and if University to the shaping and di rection of the Navy has been dispro portionately large and significant. And this tradition makes Carolina's new Naval ROTC units and four-year oemor ilea Candidates t KimKnll PorMav mmDau, Barclay, Austin Named 1 As Nominees ; After nominating two senior class officers, the Student party last night named G. I. (Gip) Kimball, sections editor of the Yackety Yack, 'for se nior member of the Publications union board, and Jim Barclay, captain of the swimming team, for president and Joe Austin, sophomore football star, for vice president of the Athletic associa tion. . Kimball's major activity during his tnree years at Carolina nas been on publications. He has been a mem ber of the Yackety Yack staff for all three years, was editor of the honorary section last year, and, as sections edi tor, tnis year supervises tne senior, junior, sophomore, freshman and fra ternities sections of the yearbook. He is a member of the junior hon or council this year, a member of the University club from Mangum. dorm itory, member of the junior class exec utive committee, and a cornet player in the University band. From Win ston Salem, Kimball has maintained a scholastic average of 90 majoring in commerce. . Barclay, who is one of the few ju niors ever to be chosen as captain of his athletic team, is a newcomer to politics, having never even been on an executive committee. He has, how ever, chalked up distinctions as a swimmer. A self-help student f from Spring Valley, N. Y., he is a member of the Monogram club. Austin, a sophomore from Baden, was. the man who scored the touch down against Duke with.a -passfrosa Lalanne and started "Happy Days Here Again", last fall. Austin also played freshman football and fresh man baseball, and starred in the Shrine high school all-star game in Charlotte in 1939. BULLETIN!

For where the State or University, or both, have furnished the nation one President, Secretary of State, Secre tary of War, Secretary of the In terior, and Attorney General, they have provided the Navy its chief six different times, and at least three of these have loomed high among its all time greats. , The Tar Heel secretaries and their years of service were John Branch, 1829-31;. George E. Badger, 1841-43; John Y. Mason, 1844-45 and 1846-49; William A. Graham, 1850-53; James C. Dobbin, 1853-57, and Josephus Dan iels, 1913-21. .

Text Rejection Again Scored Observer Condemns StateBoard Action The Charlotte Observer, largest newspaper in the two Carolinas, yes terday joined the state press in con demnation of the state board of edu cation for its unprecedented boycott of the Newsome-Lefler history text. In its top editorial, the Observer as serted that the board "has much to answer for" in its rejection of the book endorsed strongly by the state textbook commission. The editorial entitled, "Roundly Con demned," follows: The State Board of Education was "roundly condemned some time ago when it approved a history book for the public schools of the state written by Jule B. Warren, secretary of the North Carolina Education associa tion and member of the State School commission, instead of one written by Drs. Newsome and Lefler, University faculty members. That board is being even more roundly condemned now because it re fuses to adopt the Newsome-Lefler history as supplementary reading in the schools of the state, which, means that it is virtually t banned from the reach of the school children. The newspapers of the state are severe in their castigation of the board. If they are bespeaking public sen timent, the action of these educational authorities is widely unpopular and its members are definitely and criti cally on the defensive. Especially so in the light of the fact See TEXT REJECTION, page 4. Six U. S. Navy high position in the Navy's important formative years from 1841 to 1857.
