New PU Board
Elects Kimball
President
. Board Also Sets
Salary Schedules
For Coming Year
G. I. Kimball, rising senior of Win
ston Salem, was elected president of
the PU board for next year yesterday
.afternoon, and definite action was tak
en in regard to salaries of publications
workers,' several pay reductions and
increases for 1941-42 going into effect
following one of the most significant
board meetings of the year.
St. Clair Pugh.of Smithfield was
elected secretary and Bucky Harward
of Durham, treasurer of the board, to
serve next year. ...
The long-awaited action on publica
tions salaries came after a year-round
discussion of the value and importance
of the various student offices on the
Daily Tab Heel, the Mag, Tar an'
feathers, and the Yackety Yack.
Reductions Last Fall
Last fall some reductions were made
in the salaries of certain offices, par
ticularly in the case of the business
manager of the newspaper, but there
was still indecision among some mem
bers of the board as to the equity of
the salary schedules as they then stood.
Leonard Lobred, retiring president
of the PU board, drew up a proposed
salary schedule which was . published
last week and was the recipient of sev
eral printed attacks by publications
workers, asking the reasons for the
proposed reductions in salaries.
Lobred answered these attacks : in
the Sunday issue of the Daily Tar
Heel, stating that the board believes
$500 a year to be a fair maximum for
any student publications worker and
that , salaries should Jbe scaled down
from this figure according to such fac
tors as the importance of the various
offices, working hours, and so on.
He admitted that it was difficult to
ascertain the actual worth in terms cf
money of any particular office, but
that the board took into consideration
particularly the factor that the stu
dent workers on the publications are
in college mainly for educational pur
poses. ' The salary schedules as they now

WASHINGTON, May 27. Presi
dent Roosevelt" tonight proclaimed an
unlimited national emergency and
jtledged full use of United States arm
ed might if necessary to crush Hitler

placing the nation on a war footing
during a 45-minute fireside chat
which was broadcast nationally and
throughout the world.
Bluntly reasserting the freedom of
the seas policy which this country
abandoned temporarily under, the neu
trality act, the President stated em
phatically that all-out aid will be de

other nations fighting on the side of

Assistant Director" 1 r
By Grady Reagan ,
Richard (Fish) Worley of Asheville,
who has made Graham Memorial a by
word on the campus during the past
year with his novel ideas and hard
work, was re-appointed director of the
student union for next year and Bill
Alexander, rising senior of Moores
ville, was named assistant director,
the first in the history of the union,
by the new board of directors, meeting
yesterday afternoon.
The new office of assistant director
was instituted for several reasons, it
was stated. Alexander will familiar
ize himself with the business admini
stration 'of the union and will lead
many of its programs and other activi
ties during the summer and next year,
thus being fitted to step into Worley's
place and take over complete control
should the draft call the present di
rector away from his duties.
A large expansion of the activities
of Graham Memorial will be made pos
sible by the addition of Alexander to
the staff, and he and Worley are plan
ning to be here all summer working up
a program of "big things" for next
year.
Alexander has been a leader in many

helpful to insure safe transit of muni
tions. Military and naval technicians, he
asserted, are working out new and ad
ditional safeguards, which will be put
into effect immediately.
Clearly and unmistakably, the
President stated this country's nation
al policy to be :
"First, we shall actively resist
whenever necessary and with all our
strength every attempt by Hitler to ex
tend his Nazi domination to the west
ern hemisphere or threaten it. We
shall resist his every attempt to gain
control of the seas. We insist on the
vital importance of keeping Hitlerism
away from any point in the world
which could be used and would be used
as a base of attack upon the Americas.
"Second, from the point of view of
naval and military leaders, we shall
give every assistance possible to Brit
ain and to all who with Britain are re
sisting Hitlerism or its equivalent with
force or arms. Our patrols are help
ing now to insure delivery of the need
ed supplies to Britain. All additional
measures necessary to deliver the
goods will be taken. Any and all
further methods or combination of

ed are being developed by our military
and naval technicians who with me will
work out and put into effect such new
and additional safeguards as may be
needed."
The President did not give even a
hint that a national emergency would
be proclaimed until near the end of his
remarks. .
It was one of the most drastic short-of-war
steps which He could take and
it was made immediately after he had
cautioned that work stoppages would
not be permitted to hamper the de
fense effort.
The proclamation stated that indif
ference on the part of the United States
to the increased menace of axis con
quest would be perilous. Common
prudence requires for the security of
this nation and of this hemisphere, we
should pass from peacetime . . . to a
basis to enable us to cope instantly and
decisively with any attempt at hostile
encirclement of this hemisphere or the
establishment of any bases for ag

the junior-senior dance committee re-
leased all rights to its concert.
Tickets will be on sale by DTH staff
members and by dormitory and fratern
ity officers for 35 cents until the time
of the concert. The amount of sales,
to members of each dormitory without
a social room will be credited to that
dormitory and sales in fraternities, so
rorities and dorms already -having so
cial rooms will be divided equally
among the "have-not" dorms.
Approximately $150
Although a final report is not yet
ready, it was announced yesterday that
approximately. $150 was cleared on
the Pastor concert.
Harry Comer, YMCA executive sec
retary, announced yesterday that Me
morial hall may be used without charge
for the show.
In announcing the club's decision,
Wright said, "We are wholeheartedly
in favor of dormitory social rooms and
feel that in releasing the concert for
this purpose that we are striking an
other blow for better dormitory-fra
ternity relations."
Only costs to be deducted from the
proceeds will be the cost of printing
tickets since Dorsey's contract includes
the playing of the concert.
The concert, scheduled at 4:30 Fri
day, May 6, will be the opening event
of finals weekend. In addition, Dor
sey will play for the German - club's
formal dances Friday and Saturday
