Fees Bill
7-Man Board
To Report
On Proposal
Carolina's mass of administrative
machinery started moving: yesterday,
unraveling preliminary red tape as the
Student Welfare board opened the way
or trustee approval of the Legisla
ture's fees bill by giving Dean F. F.
jjradshaw the go-ahead signal to ap
point a seven-man, student-faculty, in
vestigation committee
Slumbering on the docket since its
introduction last month, the revolu
tionary proposal would give the legis
lature control of $55,000 in student
rfees, and remove the last remnant of
faculty control. Called "the greatest
.step ever made toward complete stu
dent government, the legislation must
survive the recommendations of the
-committee, changes by the administra
tion, and scrutiny by the University
aboard of trustees.
Seven Members
With four student members and
three faculty men on the newly-formed
committee, and campus opinion heavily
-weighed in favor of the bill, adminis
trative leaders expect a favorable
report" to be submitted.
Opposition, which loomed in the early
-days of the legislative baby, had drift
ed to a few weak-voiced arguments.
The administration, eager for a strong
er student government, has consistent
ly supported the theory of the propo
sal, but raised the question: "Do we
-want to take on the topheavy job of
-collecting the fees and putting them
on student's bills?' ,
Informed circles, evading any out-.and-out
statement of "for or against?,
consistently have inquired about the
possibility of future student genera-
'tions repealing the legislation if it does
pass through the maze of officialdom.
Though failing to commit itself on
the bill, the Administration has hint
ed that it would approve the measure
. -as it has sanctioned past student gov
ernment moves, once the students
-show themselves capable of setting up
the necessary machinery.-
DTH Business Staff
Sets New Local
Advertising Mark
The Daily Tar Heel advertising
st3.fi has set a new record for local ad
A-ertising with $5286.41 received so far
this year and with another $100 to $150
expected for Sunday's paper, as
.against the $5345.31 taken in by last
rear's staff, Business Manager Bill
Bruner revealed yesterday.
In addition, the staff has put out the
liggest Tab Heel in history with the
120-page 3 point paper of September 25,
the opening day of school, which had
546 inches of advertising. Another
achievement of this year's staff was the
nrst cooperative advertising page in
iive years 'in the issue ofNovember 16.
Burner's staff has put out one Sun
day feature section and a Sunday fash
ion section this year.
"At least I'm going to win a dollar
:from Mr. Lear," said Bruner. "He
made a bet with me at the beginning
of the year that I would make $550
fcom the job. IH be lucky if I get
5500 after deductions are made for
bad debts and classifieds."

Parachute Attacks
BERLIN, May 30 (UP) The Bri

murderous rain of bombs, the High
Command proclaimed today as reports
reached Berlin of the death of Major
General Bernard C. Freyberg, Allied
Commander-in-Chief in Crete.
The battle of the strategic island
base has been "won" after eleven days
of furious air-borne attacks, unprece
dented in the history of warfare, it
was said, and the shattered British
remnants are trying to flee to Egypt
aboard fishing boats and every avail
able means of escape.
Freyberg and his chief aides were
said in unconfirmed radio reports to
have been killed in a plane crash
while flying to Alexandria, Egypt, af
ter abandoning the struggle in Crete.
Today's High Command communi-
nne told of the wholesale surrender
of thousands of British and Greek
troops. '

Past History
Alumni Office Records History
Of More Than
In the Alumni office, located just off
the lobby at the Carolina inn, perman
ent records are kept of more than
35,000 University graduates and ma
triculates. ' For each alumnus graduate or non
graduate there is in a large battery
of filing cabinets an individual "jack
et" or folder. Into these individual
"jackets" are placed data sheets, cor
respondence, notices of change of ad
dress, newspaper clippings, etc. In ef
fect, each "jacket" makes available
for alumni and University use a sort of
"Family Bible" record of each former
student.
Below is shown a "breakdown"
statement of alumni, exclusive of pres
ent students.

Investigators
Contains Over 1,000 Errors
By Pad Komisaruk
The Warren text book took its final step into oblivion Thurs
day as the state board of education positively recalled the work
that has caused one of the greatest educational scandals in North
Carolina's history.
Governor J. M. Broughton, explaining the board's action reveal
ed that the cost of correcting the Warren text would be "prohibi-
-tive." Action came after investiga-

PRINCIPALS in state shaking
textbook controversy were Drs.
Hugh Lefler (top) and A. R. New
some who wrote the history that
was judged "best" and thrown out.
'How You?'
Campaign To
Reach Nation
Carefree goodwill is spreading over
the campus with branch organizations
springing up in every dorm and fra
ternity of the "Hey, how you" cam
paign originated by two anonymous
characters who refused to reveal their
names.
Veiling actual operations in deep se
crecy the instigators of the move do
contact over telephones and in code but
no mystery of their purposes.
"Goodwill rampant" is their motive
with final goal of friendliness to spread
over this campus, then to every college
in the nation. ,
Formula for goodwill is to greet ev
eryone with the following words, "Hey,
how you?" A slight upward inflection
of the voice accompanies the exclama
tion which should always be answered
by "tonibul."
Plans for the summer are to gain the
cooperation of every student so that
Hey, how you?" will reach every cor
ner of the nation as Tar Heels go home
for vacation and carry the tidings of
good cheer.
Threefold purpose of the campaign
is:.
1. To spread goodwill over our cam
pus.
2. To spread goodwill over the na
tion.
3. Break down ill-feeling . between
sections of the country and most impor
tant to lend to every Carolina student
a distinguishing trademark which will
set him apart from the prosaic under
graduate. '
Speaking over the wire one of the
anonymous operators said, "Harvard
students can eat goldfish while Carolina
students can do something construc
tive for the nation. Hey, how you?"
"Tollibul."

tions disclosed "the total number of
factual errors" in the book will "un
doubtedly exceed 1,000."
Brought to state and then national
attention when the State board of edu
cation ignored the .decision of the
state elementary textbook commission
favoring the use of the Newsome-Lefler
text and chose the Warren book,
the latter text became the center of
controversial storm as educators de
nounced the action and pointed out
hundreds of factual errors in the text.
Will Acquire Copyright
Charles Barrett, former DAILY Tab
Heel managing editor led to initial
action on the Warren text by the state
commission.
There was little likelihood last night
that the state would adopt the New-some-Lefler
text, which the element
ary board termed "by all means ...
the best suited for our needs ..."
It , was hinted however that the state
may acquire the copyright to the War
ren book and then undertake to have
its own fifth grade text written un
der the supervision of Secretary C. C.
Crittenden, of the State Historical
commission.
Dr. Crittenden and - H. Arnold
Perry, who were called upon to check
the book by the board of education
when the storm first broke, have re
ported that while they have not fully
completed their task, they have pro
gressed enough to definitely state
that the total number of factual er
rors will exceed 1,000. "Many of the
errors are of minor consequence," it
was pointed out, "but they are defi
nite errors and are subject to correc
tion." Both examiners have said it
would be out of the question for the
book to be corrected without a com
plete reprint.
Rejected
The board's failure to select the
Newsome-Lefler text, was ascribed to
the "doubt that it would fit into state
patterns." When the state board ap
proved the Warren text book after
ignoring recommendations by the ele
mentary commission, the Newsome
Lefler text failed to receive a single
vote.
It was learned that the board's
seven man membership is the same,
with the exception of the Governor
and the LL Governor. This was taken
to mean that the board will be there
again to vote against the Newsome
Lefler text.
Chief Objections
Chief objections to tie North Caro
lina professors' text seemed to be the
descriptions of the "liberal and con
servative" campaigns with an expla
nation concerning the conservative
victories and the fraudulent practices
in those elections.
All Past Students
Considered Alumni
"How," numerous seniors have asked,
does a senior join the Alumni Asso
ciation?"
All former students both graduates
and those who did not receive degrees
are considered as alumni. The word
"alumni" is considered to include for
mer coeds as well as men students.
But all alumni are not members of
the General Alumni Association. Mem
bers pay annual dues of $3 for which
hey receive a yearly subscription to
"The Alumni Review," vote in the an
nual elections, and otherwise help sup
port and carry on anBxtensive program
of alumni activities.
