Clearing the Mystery Here's How Woman's Council Governs Six Hundred Coeds By Elsie Lyon In 1917, 20 coeds, not foreseeing the 600 coeds to come, innocently banded together to furnish protection from the numerous men students and sup ply feminine governmental needs not furnished by the men's government. So the Woman's association came into being with its four officers form ing an honor council to dish out jus tice in coed violations of the honor and campus codes and women's social rules, and to handle the financial problems thy.t always come up when any organization is formed. Good for While This organization was sufficient, without overworking its officers, to cope with all coed governmental problems as the women registered in ever increasing numbers 45 in 1918, and 90 when Spencer was duui in 1925 as a result of demands from the now vociferous association. But bv the time the three new wo- i men's dormitories were populated and FDR Demands Air Supremacy For Allies Britain Threatens To Bomb Bagdad, Destroy Oil Flow I Bt Umted Press WASHINGTON, May 5 President 'Roosevelt tonight demanded aerial supremacy for the democracies and called upon Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson to increase production of heavy bombers "with all possible speed," "... Command of the air by the de mocracies must and can be achieved," he said in a letter to Stimson. "Every month the democracies are gaining in the relative , strength of their air forces. We must see to it that the process is -hastened and that the demo cratic superiority in the air be made absolute. , -To Strain Facilities The president did not specify by what ratio he was ordering heavy bomber production speeded up, but he left no doubt that the objective he has fixed will strain this country's pro duction facilities "to the utmost, He gave Stimson virtual carte blanche authority to take whatever steps are necessary to achieve the goal. One source said the chief executive was demanding peak production of five hundred bombers a month or 6,000 a year. Combined with the British out put, this would give the United States and Britain rapid ascendancy" over Axis production, it was said. LONDON, May 6 (Tuesday) Great Britain today threatened to bomb ancient Bagdad and destroy Iraq's rich flow of oil unless Iraqui forces ceased their four-day seige of Habbaniya air base as an "essential prerequisite" to peace negotiations proposed by Turkey and Egypt.

Foushee, in- University professor to run for mayor in recent years, as some 1,000 citi zens go to the polls in Chapel Hill's biennial town elections to select a mayor, a judge, and six aldermen. Dr. Dobbins,, popular, among his students and a king of Student Fac ulty day in 1938, is expected to rival Foushee closely. A total of 264 new voters have been registered, and these in addition to those who voted in past years give indications of a record vote. Foushee defeated Clar ence Pickard two years ago by 411 369.

Bye, bye on Being; Harvard Prof Opens McNair Lecture Series Says Basic Needs Of Soul Satisfied Only by Religion Religion has done a far better job than modern psychology 'in minister ing to the basic needs of the soul, Dr. William Ernest Hocking, head of the Department of Philosophy in Harvard university, told an audience at the University last night. Delivering the first of the annual se ries of McNair lectures, the noted philosopher declared: "I conclude that religion has done better justice to the basic requirements of the cure of souls than has modern psychology." Purpose of Lectures Dr. Hocking was introduced by President Frank P. Graham, who is taking a brief respite from his duties in Washington with the National Me diation Board. Dr. G. A. Harrer, chair man of the committee on the Lectures, presided. Purpose of the lectures, which were established in 1906 by the will of John Calvin McNair and which are open to the public, is "to show the mutual bearing of science and religion upon each other and to prove the existence of attributes (as far as may be) of God from nature." Dr. Hocking's general topic is "Con temporary Science and the Idea of God." Last night he discussed "Psy chology and the Cure of Souls." To night at 8:30 in Gerrard hall, he will lecture on "Sociology and Humanism." He will close the series Wednesday night. Many members of the faculty and other guests met Dr. Hocking at a re ception given for him at the Carolina Inn following "tonight's lecture. Discussing the relative value of religion and psychology as healers for the soul in last night's lecture, Dr. Hocking said the difficulty with psychoanalysis is that the mental at titude of the doctor which encourages self-revelation is not the mental atti tude which can cure the disease. Easier Than Confessing "If the patient is willing to speak of himself because of the scientific ob jectivity of the doctor in which ques tions of moral praise and blame are in abeyance, he is doing an easier thing than confessing, and he cannot be cured unless this moral element re turns to the situation. "The patient must reject what is to be rejected. The point is the rejection must come from his own conscience and not from an external rebuking agency." Cheering Squad Tryouts Today Announcing plans for a larger squad, and one including as many coeds "as can make it," Curry Jones, head cheerleader, yesterday said try outs for the squad would be held to morrow at 5 o'clock in Emerson stad ium. v Jones said that his squad would be enlarged from seven to nine members, and that eight positions are open, and will be filled "according to merit." Discussing plans .for coeds bn the squad, Jones said they "lend color and spirit to the squad," and the number that will be selected will depend on "how good they are." "If you can yell, sing, cheer, holler, have new ideas, or can do gymnastics, I'd like to see you out there," he said. Law Interviews Must Be Arranged Dean Van Hecke of the Law School requests all prospective law students planning to enter Law School in Sep tember who have not yet had inter views with the committee on admis sions to arrange for their interviews within the next two weeks. Burroughs Plays The night club will be open tonight from &:30 to 10:30 with Julian Bur- roughs and his orchestra furnishing the music.
