On the query, "Should we declare war if Japan at tacks allied possessions?" 21 per sons voted for the proposal and 13 voted against it. Only four members favored immediate declaration of war on Germany, but 15 said it would be necessary to declare war on the axis if Russia fell. Ten members voted against any declaration of war at any time. Theory and speculation on Japan bore fruit after Grady Morgan burst forth with, "Does anyone know if Ja pan declared war on the United States getting appointment cards in Memor ial hall beginning at 9 o'clock Thurs day morning. i.

" f Voice Opinions of War, Peace s . . . j i today? lne sooner we ueciaie wa on Japan the better," was a prevalent conviction, and certain members ex pressed their belief that the United States is at present in a better stra tegic position in the Pacific than it ever was or will be. Mac Sherman: "I would favor an immediate declaration of war not be cause final exams are coming up, but because such a move would serve to brake up America's workers and in dustrialists." Why, then does America hesitate? One IRC man saw President Roose velt as holding off until Americans fully felt the necessity of sacrificing mpn as well as machines. Anotner pointed out that France, England, and all those countries eitner ngnung or conauered by the axis waited, waited.

Simultaneously Coordinator Russell M. Grumman received notice from Washington that Chester Williams, di rector of morale in colleges and assist ant commissioner of education, had ac cepted an invitation late last week, and will arrive in Chapel Hill Friday af ternoon for a belated conference with University officialdom. Manifestations of interest poured in to several campus agencies, but top ex ample came from a citizens'' organiza tion iii " Greensboro where" executives asked aid from the local service in ex tending work in that community. La beled the Democracy-Morale commit tee, the group has no official connection with Capitol Hill, was started volun tarily, without push, by interested civ ic leaders. Grumman indicated that aid is forthcoming, and plans to attend a conference with a special Gate City group. It was apparent, from the student meeting, that the leaders present at the discussion will probably help in choosing-personnel and deciding poli cy for the all-out aid expected to come after another conference tomorrow. It was understood from sources close to the group that the step would rule out any possibility of political maneuver ing in the movement, and would pro mote unity.

"3 Contributions To Be Sought From Students By Paul Komisaruk Campus organizations and stu dent leaders moved quickly yes terday in promising quick action and pledging full support to pro posals aimed at raising the 8, 300 slashed from the Universi ty's NYA budget two weeks ago. Deeming immediate action "imperative," leaders hastened to explain that money raised to aid 75 NYA students who will be dropped from the lists on January 10, will be used in the same way funds are now being employed. They pointed out that both the University and students will continue to benefit from the funds. Organizations Promise Funds While class presidents asserted that they would be able to contribute to the fund from the budget surpluses, and Miss Jean Hahn hinted that the coed senate might possibly consider contri buting as high as $800 to $1,000 from its surplus, University Club president, Steve Peck, said his organization would undertake the monumental task of or ganizing collections on the campus from dormitory, fraternity, and town residents. ' Methods of collecting funds from students were definitely decided, ob stacles in the way of student collections and . University distribution worked out. A method of soliciting funds, simi lar to the one employed by the YMCA will go into effect this evening, with University Club members, aided by dorm managers and presidents deliv ering pledge cards to students, asking for contributions, pointing out that no actual transferring of money is nec essary at the present time. It was ex plained that pledge cards will be re turned to the University Cashier's of fice, and student contributions added on to their quarterly bills. Additional help from the student Legislature was hinted at by Speaker Terry Sanf ord, who indicated that the Legislature would give serious consid eration to the proposals later in the week.
