Although a two-thirds majority, the quota necessary for determining the nominee, was not obtained, both candidates, before they were told the results of the voting, agreed to ac cept a simple majority. . The second nomination meeting came as a result of a deadlock Mon day night when the ballots were tied 4-4.

Caldwell, Halm Compete Again For WA Office Women's Elections Are Scheduled For Next Tuesday Author To: Bear Expense Of Reprinting" History ' Womans Council Abolishes Late Show Privileges Because of abuse of Friday night privileges, the Woman's council last night recalled the coeds' privilege of signing out for midnight shows. This privilege was granted for the first time last spring by present heads of women's government, and continued under their administration this year, but it was found necessary to revoke th privilege because of evidences of violation of honor codes. Warning Was given last year that abuse would lead to withdrawal of the privilege. The Woman's council released the following statement, following its meeting, to all of the coed dormitories: "You are all aware that the mid night show privilege has been consist ently abused. While some girls have attended the! midnight show regularly, you all know that many have signed out for the show and have not gone. Since this is an obvious violation of t"he honor system, the . privilege has finally had to be recalled." For the second time in four months Mary Caldwell and Jean Hahn, both members of the junior class, will run against each other for a major office in the women's association. m December tne two girls were among the nominees for the position of junior class representative to the women's honor council.

He emphasized that the armaments allocations are for production of new materials over and above any aid extended from existing U. S. army and navy supplies. - .

Di Wants Profs To Control Cuts A system of class cuts whereby the individual professor would have con trol over attendance was appro ved by the Di senate last night and' recom mended to the student-faculty com mittee which is investigating the cut ting problem. After long discussion which some times balanced on the verge of vio lence the Di passsd a bill providing that, instead of a general University rule for absences from class, each pro fessor would regulate attendance as he sees fit. . . j The bilP stated that the .present system of attendance restrictions was outmoded and that there was too much confusion in the various departmental rulings; hence the need for a definite decision on the matter. An attempt to change the, bill so freshmen and sophomores would be restricted, in the number of cuts they might take, and allowing juniors and seniors unrestricted cuts was de feated. Women's Dorm No. 1 To Entertain Today Residents of Woman's Dormitory No. 1 will be -hostesses at an informal tea in the reception rooms of the dorm this afternoon from 2 to 4 o'clock. The tea will be sponsored by the Inter dormitory council and will take the place of the usual Wednesday after noon tea in Spencer dorm.

By Charlas Barrett The state board of education, rec ognizing for the first time the tide of condemnation which followed adop tion of the Jule B. Warren history text, voted yesterday to withdraw the book from state schools and let Warren correct it at his own expense. There was no move, however, to wards replacing the controversial book and it was assumed that War ren's "North Carolina Yesterday and Today," after being reprinted, would be returned to the fifth grades. In a letter to the board, Warren said that in view of a "number of ar ticles and communications pointing out errors as to dates and other fac tual matters in the history book," the withdrawal would be "perfectly sat isfactory" with him and that he would have all the books corrected "without expense to the state." Immediately after the session Gov ernor J. M. Broughton announced that Warren no longer would be a mem ber of the state school commission, a position he has held since 1937. War ren's resignation was accepted immed iately because of "contractual rela tions" with the state as to publication of his book, Governor Broughton said. Warren's history, chosen by the , board in spite of recommendations from the" textbook suhcommisaion strongly favoring a text by Univers ity Professors A. R. Newsome and Hugh T. Lefler, was distributed throughout the state last month and brought forth repeated criticisms that it contained more than 200 historical errors and other deficiencies. It will remain in the schools until See TEXTBOOK, paje 4. Drive To Aid War Students A drive to aid students in war-tom countries will begin today and con tinue through tomorrow evening, Willis Weatherford, chairman o the campaign announced yesterday.

The Interdormitory council has al ready named one man on each floor of every dorm to canvass funds, while the Interf raternity council will secure donations from individual Greek houses. The women's Interdorm asso ciation and the Pan-Hellenic council have already given substantial sums to the campaign. Graham Endorsement - Adding impetus to the drive was the endorsement of the campaign by See ' STUDENT AID, page U. World-Famous Theologian Speaks For HRI Next Week Habitually in times of world crisis entitled "The Nature and Destiny of theologians re-discover sin the old- Han" in which he unexpectedly re fashioned paganistic variety. Current herald of changing philosophy is a dynamic Lutheran evangelist who next Sunday night will inaugurate a week-long, celebrity-packed program of the sixth biennial Institute of Human Relations. Sin's new discoverer is Union Theo logical seminary's Dr. Reinhold Nie buhr, world-renowned religious leader labeled by Time magazine "America's hmost influential theologian." Sched uled to set the pace for an Institute program entitled "The United States in the World Crisis," Dr. Niebuhr is a fiery, inspirational speaker thor oughly abreast of the times. Niebuhr's biggest splash ;n the literary field came several weeks ago with the publication of a new volume verses his optimistic, Christian liber alism for an almost medieval con sciousness of sin. His thesis : man's sin is not ignorance but pride and self-righteousness; modern civiliza tion "careening toward destruction" must realize its unworthiness and turn again toward the Gospel. The volume's material was prepared for the University of Edinburgh's dis tinguished Gifford lecture serie3 . in 1939.4 Invitation to appear on the Gif ford platform has been extended to only four other Americans in the lec tureship's 54-year existence.
