Hobls Will Appoint
Investigating Group
Student body president Truman
Hobbs yesterday stated he would ap
point a fact-finding committee to in
vestigate a possible magazine merger
next year.
A member of the PD Board will be
selected for the committee which will
probably be composed from the Legis
lature, Student council, Daily Tab
Hkki, and the humor and literary
mags. Hobbs was selecting and con
ferring with some of these represen
tatives late yesterday.
Hobbs, taking action on the proposal
for a 64-page Mag "trial combination
issue," is forming a committee that
will be able to issue an impartial re
port to be published in the pending
64-page issue. The magazine plans
a campus poll to let students decide
whether they prefer one or two maga
zines next year.
Mag editor Henry Moll will carry
the proposal to the PU Board meeting
ths afternoon when he requests $625
to make the 64-page "trial combina
tion issue" possible.

double the war expansion of the army
to 3,600,000 men this year and include

The far-reaching plan, already ap

there will be adequate facilities for

To America's 'B
Columnist Urges
People to Exert
Greatest Effort
By Paul Komisaruk
"Walter Lippmann firmly warned last
night that "we are still so close tode
f eat that we here shall have to make
the greatest effort and fight the bit
terest, bloodiest war in our whole his
tory in order to defeat our enemies,"
and simultaneously predicted "the vic
tory can be won."
America's destiny in this century is
"to bring law and order, and peace to
the civilized world," the noted author
and interpreter of world affairs de
clared at the opening of the 18th an
nual North Carolina Press Association
Institute.
'A Great Destiny'
"Ours is a great destiny," Mr. Lipp
mann emphasized," and it is ours, not
in the least because we have superior
virtue, but because by -the facts of our
geography and the position of our con
tinent and the great movement of the
tide of history, we have come to oc
cupy in the modern world the place
which Rome, in the center of her seas,
occupied in the ancient world."
While visiting newsmen, faculty, stu
dents and guests completely overflowed
the platform, the aisles, pathways and
exits of Hill hall, Mr. Lippmann con-

late details.
Most important of the entire setup
for welcoming the group is being de
cided in Raleigh with everything hing
ing on Governor J. M. Broughton's re-
trim from a convention. No definite
word has been received from the capital
concerning the names of the State de
partment dignitaries who will repre
sent North Carolina, but in a letter
received from the governor's office
yesterday, leaders here were assured
that all arrangements are completed.
Either Governor Broughton or Secre
tary of State, Thad Eure, will be on
hand to greet the Sudamericanos.
It was announced that the group will
be guests at Monday's chapel period
where they will be officially welcomed
by members of the administration. Dr.
Leavitt, H. F. Comer and Roland Par
ker, working on all features of what
program, have received word from stu
dent body president Truman Hobbs,
and president of the Woman's associa
tion, Mary Caldwell, that they will
represent the students.
President Frank Graham or Dean
R. B. House may be able to speak but
there has been no official confirma
tion. .
Commenting about the reaction of
the summer school students in New
York, Lyons said that the visitors spoke
of nightly blackouts on board ship due
to government regulations regarding
sailing in dangerous waters. Although
greatly impressed by New York's mas
siveness, all leisure time was spent in
visiting the "big little things" that us
ually attract most visitors when they
visit the city. , i

In Requirements
For Air Cadets
Revision of Aviation Cadet require
ments for bombardiers, navigators and
pilots in the Army Air Corps through
reduction of the age limit to 18 years,
institution of a uniform simplified test
in place of the previously required
written examination or college credits,
and extension of eligibility to married
men, was announced today by the War
department.
In the past, application for Aviation
Cadet training was limited to men be
tween 20 and 26 years of age. The new
age limits provide for the acceptance
of men between the ages of 18 and 26,
inclusive. This applies not only to air
crew members, as bombardiers, naviga
tors and pilots are designated, but also
to Air Corps ground officers, who, as
Aviation Cadets, receive instruction in
armament, engineering, communica
tions, photography and meteorology.
Revision in Effect
A revision already in effect is the
extension of eligibility to married men.
Heretofore, only unmarried men have
been given training as Aviation Cadets,
but under the change authorized a
married man is eligible providing he
submits, along with his application for
enlistment, a written statement that
his dependents have adequate means
of support. This revision applies equal
ly to candidates for aircrew training
and for training in the ground courses.
The new "screening test" authorized
will be given to all applicants for air-

opponent by the wide margin of 233
ballots.
In addition to the complete new ward
robe, donated by interested Durham
merchants, Alspaugh will receive an
expensive, suitably engraved pocket
watch as a gift from Esquire, the na
tion's leading authority in men's fash
ions. These awards will be presented
tomorrow night at the Grail dance.
Runners-up in the contest to chose
Carolina's best-dressed and best-groomed
undergraduate were Bill Loock with
94 votes and "Chuck" Beyer with 66.
These second and third place winners
will receive subscriptions to Esquire
as gifts from "Esky."
In commenting on the voting, Al
spaugh stated that he "appreciates the
gifts from the Durham donors of the
wardrobe and the watch from Esquire."
"The contest seems a good idea," he
continued, "because Esquire goes to the
college campus to find its authoritative
fashions instead of the campus going
to Esquire. Previously, in many cases,
Esquire-advocated styles were beyond
the pocket-book of the average college
student."
Polling almost half of the 794 votes
cast in the competition, Alspaugh was
paced by Mooney Davis and Bill Alex
ander in addition to the second and
third place winners, Loock and Beyer.
Alspaugh will appear in the college
fashion section in a forth-coming issue
of Esquire, probably in June, which
will include stories about Carolina and
a composite picture plus a complete
story of the competition. Coast-to-coast
in scope, the contest includes 15
universities, Carolina being the only
representative from the South.
