Carolina Pictured Students Voice Disfavor Of 'Life3 Magazine Layout By Walter Klein LIFE magazine has apparently earned itself four thousand enemies in four days. The enemies are Carolina students who are still looking pain fully at LIFE's spread on Carolina's Sadie Hawkins Day. The issue under attack is the current one, which hit the stands Friday. A Tar Heel reporter could find no student who showed any indication of approving LLFE's treatment Of the event, and boys and girls almost unan imously lambasted the picture story specifically and LIFE magazine in general. LIFE pictured in a two page lay out less than a dozen Carolina stu dents apparently dramatizing amor lication, library and extension divi sions began taking shape, the pro gram's directors in South, CaldwelL and Swain hinted that an even larger plan, student-inspired, would join the present movement later this week.

Bradshaw, dean of students direct the mechani cal setup with Dr. Frank P. Graham and Dean R. B. House acting as the University's link with Washington. Aims Stated The Program: "To build morale, or unity of purpose, based on common enlightenment, understanding and dis cussion of today's critical problems not on propaganda or suppression." And with this crisp aim, evolved from a declaration by President Roose velt to Paul V. McNutt, as federal se curity administrator, to John W. Studebaker, commissioner of educa tion, Carolina embarks on the proj ect of providing information for stu dents here and for the general pub lic of North Carolina. Success here, would result in similar systems in oth er high-ranking American universi ties. As a dozen facilities of the local educational unit prepared-to go all out, the Bradshaw-Grumnwji director ate named eight main division heads and five professors of research and preparation. Braintrusters in the Big Eight are Charles R. Rush, Library of Informa tion; H. F.
