Valkyries
Propose Coed
Honor Limit
New Point System
, Would Spread :
Women's Offices
The Valkyries, woman's honor or
ganization on the campus, will propose
a point system Monday to the coeds
at a meeting of the Woman's associa:
tion, as "a solution to the problem of
overabundance activities and respons
ibilities pushed on a comparatively
small number of leaders." '
The purpose of the system is "to
distribute more evenly the honors and
work of the various offices, and to
limit the additional work of each girl
holding a major office, in order that
the offices may be more efficiently
f illed." -
A system of evaluation in terms of
points has been worked out to apply
to all offices filled by women, and
under it no woman may carry more
than seven points without special per
mission from the Valkyries.
This honor group would serve as
the Point System committee, whose
duty would be to keep the system vup
to date, and suited for tv- it
hand. They would also check on the
points and grade eligibility of new of
ficers, and keep a record of these of
ficers and their points.
A "C" average or better would be
required for office-holders, and a stu
dent unclassed because of failure could
not hold office. An individual wo
man student could hold only one presi
dency, or one vice-presidencyr one
tresurership, or two secretaryships.
The office of "president' of the Wo
man's association counts seven joints
(the limit) , the presidency of the
YWCA, seven points, and the presi
dency of the Woman's Athletic asso
ciation, five points.
If passed, the point system will go
into effect for spring elections.

Director Sturgis E. Leavitt and
Executive Secretary J. C. Lyons of

thanks to those who helped in any way

The Inter-American Institute of the
University of North Carolina wishes
to express its gratitude to all indi
viduals and groups in the University
and in the community whose gener
ous cooperation helped to make the
recent "summer school" for South
Americans a success. We wish that we
were in a position to write a separate
letter of thanks to each person and to
each group that contributed in any
way to the success of the undertaking.
However, .this" would be a herculean
taskj and the considerable stenographic
force that would be required is not
available. It is hoped that students,
faculty, and townspeople will accept
this public expression of gratitude in
lieu of the separate letters that we

from each fraternity was announced
yesterday by President Chris Sie

The new plan will go into effect in
the Spring quarter, Siewers said.
....At present the council is made up
of the presidents of all the fraterni

year. Addition of the junior members
will, allow some representatives to re
main on the council for two years.
The new council will hold semi

more business and will prevent con
fusion' and misunderstandings about
the place and date of each meeting.
The new plan was passed at a meet
ing of the council this week in which
the members also voted to prohibit
-alcoholic beverages at the annual In-
terfrat council banquet this year. A
report of the scholastic averages of

Yugoslav Shift To Axis

Leads Balloting;
Seven Renamed
By United Press
BELGRADE, March 7 (Friday) An official statement believed to herald
imminent announcement of Yugoslavia's shift to the axis was published
throughout the nation today assuring the people that the government is
"correctly" judging their interests and security. .
As part of its swing to the side of Germany, the government was under
stood to have intervened in an effort to break down Greece's stubborn stand
in refusing to submit, to a Nazi die-'
tated peace with Italy.
. Within the next 48 hours, diplomats
predicted, Yugoslavia will announce
that she is entering "closer collabora
tion" thereby closing the last gap in
the axis "encirclement of Greece" and
bringing the last Balkan neutral into
the German camp.
ANKARA, March 7 (Friday)
Turkey will reject within .; the , ; next
three or four days an invitation from
Adolf Hitler that a high Turkish
statesman be sent to Germany to dis
cuss "closer cooperation" with the
axis, authoritative ' Turkish sources
said last night. -
The president and General Ismet
Inonu to whom Hitler sent his mes
sage by a special . airplane courier
Tuesday were said to be considering
whether to make a formal reply to it.
Hitler's message was said in diplo
matic quarters to have made clear his
objective of separating Turkey from
her British ally and to have carried,
an implied warning against permitting
any British troops to land on Turkish
soil.
National Poll Shows That
Majority of Students Drink
ATTSTTN. Texas. March 6 Al
though college students are as a whole
not teetotalers and a majority may be
classed as liberals on the question of
drinking, ,there exists today on the
campuses of America a good amount
of conservatism regarding liquor.
Two years ago this March, Stu
dent Opinion Surveys of America con
ducted a nationwide poll that for the
first time provided a complete picture
of drinking habits and sentiment
among collegians. The survey has
been repeated, and besides producing
a new set of figures on this topic, the
study brings proof that the sampling
procedure used by Student Opinion
Surveys is of such stability that its
faults may be interpreted as an ac
curate barometer, of college thought
from coast to coast. v
In summary, these were the 'results
of the survey, taken through the coop-
eration of the college press, . includ
ing the Daily. Tar Heel:
- 1. Six out of every ten believe that
college students do not drink too
much.
2. Nearly seven out of every ten
men, and nearly five out of every ten
coeds, admit they drink alcoholic bev
erages.
3. Eight out of every ten are oppos
ed to the return of prohibition.
The 1939 survey and the present
one, takeny in identical manner, re
veal figures that are almost parallel
in every respect, giving new basis to
the fact that by means of sampling it
is possible for the Surveys to gauge
what the total enrollment of nearly
1,500,000 thinks. Prohibition and
drinking in general are rather static
questions on which sentiment is not
expected to vary considerably for
long periods of time, and that is what

WASHINGTON, March 6 The U.

The State department asked Italy
to close its consulates at Detroit and

of all its consular offices in the U. S.

Nye Sunday
Senator Opposes
Lend-Lease Bill
While one ; of the hottest political
battles in a decade rages in Washing
ton over the" pendrngXend-LeaseBill,
Chapel Hill will hear a fiery denun
ciation of the bill, from one of its
chief antagonists, Senator Gerald P.
Nye, North Dakota's Republican iso
lationist, in his Sunday night speech
in Memorial hall at 8 o'clock.
Nye, who is being sponsored by the
Carolina Political' union, has fought
the bill bitterly since its introduction
into the House of Representatives last
month. At various intervals, Nye,
whose isolationist point of view dates
back to the first World War, has said
that the bill, if passed, "would be
madness of the first magnitude . . .
would make Congress a rubber stamp
and as powerless as Hitler's Reich
stag, Mussolini's Chamber of Deputies,
and Hirohito's Diet."
Headed Investigation -
The 49-year-old "old guard" senator
headed the munitions investigations
after the first World War, proved that
the House of Morgan helped put the
United States into , the war : because
of financial interests, and recently
charged that . the Morgan interests
were working towards the same goal
