Main Issue
Is Economy
Question
By Hayden Carruth
The Student legislature meets to
night at 7:45 in historic Phi hall to
consider the combination of the cam'
pus literary and humor magazine in
to one comprehensive publication, the
question being raised by the preset
tation of the Bill to Establish a New
Campus Magazine by the Ways and
Means committee.
The committee, chairmaned by Lou
is Harris, has met sporadically over
the question of combination ever since
the first open hearing of both sides
was held early in the spring quarter.
Intra-committee disagreement held
back the framing of a final bill, but
settlement was reached by compro
mise during a meeting last Tuesday.
That bill will go before the legisla
ture tonight.
Economy
Long the center of a stormy whirl
pool in publications, the question grew
to campus proportions near the end of
the spring quarter when it became
evident that a more stringent degree
of economy would be necessary next
year. The alternative of combination
13
the maintenance of the present
magazines with reduced page allot
ments, possibly rough instead of
"slick" paper.
The bill, as framed by the Ways
and Means committee, calls for the
abolition of the two present maga
zines, and the creation of a single
magazine. In future years the editor-in-chief
would be elected at general
campus election, while both humor
and literary editors would be appoint
ed by the PU board to serve as sec
tion editors. All powers of policy de
termination would be exclusively in
the hands' of the editor-in-chief. Be
cause editors for the two publications
have alreadv been elected, the bil
provides for the selection of nex
year's editor-in-chief by the PU board
from the two present editors. The edi
tor who is not selected would serve
as one of the subordinate editors.

For Space in Dormitories
Reservations for spaces in dormi

be included in the "fish bowl" draw

Students may indicate three choices
of dormitories and roommates on the
reservations. The drawing will deter

give preference as to choices.
"Fair to everyone," the recent rul

'Big Jim' to Hold Post
Until Ray Wolf Returns
Tough Road Lies
Ahead for Coach
By Harry Hollingsworth
Jim Tatum, director of -freshman
athletics at Carolina since the fall of
1939, last night accepted the position
of acting head football coach to re
place Ray Wolf who is taking an of
ficer's training course at Annapolis
preparatory to becoming anaval of
ficer in the Navy's huge pre-flight
training program.
The athletic council voted Monday
night to offer the position to Tatum,
but did not announce its action until
yesterday.
Council States
The council stated that Tatum was
to serve only during the absence of
Wolf, who was given a leave of ab
sence when he was appointed to the
Navy's officer's training class.
- The appointment of Tatum to the
post has been whispered about the
campus since Wolf's departure for An
napolis, but most state sports editors
have written that the University's
athletic council was looking for a big
time coach to take over the coaching
reins here.
Crucial Time
Tatum assumes the job as head grid
coach at a very crucial time. After
ranking high in football circles over
the nation for the past .eight ..years,
the Tar Heels dropped seven of 10
games last fall, winning only from
Lenoir-Rhyne, Davidson and Rich
mond. Fifteen seniors from the team are
gone and in their place a group of
tested sophomores and juniors from
last fall's team and a bunch of prom
ising freshmen will greet Tatum.
A graduate from the University in
1935, Tatum was one of the top tackles
in the south and was placed on sev
eral honorary All-Southern teams
He was also a regular on the Tar
Heel baseball squad for three years.
After serving as assistant footbal
and baseball coach for one year after
his graduation, Tatum went to Cornel
with Carl Snavely as line coach and
head baseball mentor positions he
held for three years.

Approximately 900 boys can be

ment, Armstrong estimated, as he
stated that the same enrollment as last
fall could be coped with along with
the additional 1,875 personnel of the
Navy. ,

one, two or three others in making a

To Explain
War Effort
By Panl Komisaruk
Senator Harry S. Truman sounds
out the administrative productive ef
fort tonight from a Carolina Political
union platform in Memorial hall at
8:15 in what may develop into the
stormiest session since Old Guard Iso
lationist Gerald P. Nye stepped to the
rostrum last December.
The Missouri Democrat, head of the
been exploding war production scan-,
dais for the last six months has prom
ised Ridley Whitaker, CPU chairman,,
a "frank and honest discussion of the
productive scene."
By that it was taken to mean that
Truman will discuss the Standard Oil
deals with German firms that his
committee unearthed recently, and
other committee activities.
In a position to give one of the
most comprehensive and all-encompassing
pictures of the productive bat
tle, Truman's address here tonight .
has been widely heralded in the state
press, it was widely ieit mat Truman
will depict America's status on the
home production front.
Truman will arrive in Chapel Hill
early this afternoon, and will be en-.
tertained'this evening at a banquet in
his honor at the Carolina Inn.
Truman who has attacked Washing
ton's dollar-a-year men repeatedly
exposed their gigantic failure in the
old OPM, and has been equally vigor
ous in more recent blasts against au
to manufacturers, defense housing
agencies, and Standard Oil, and will
explain committee findings, without
mincing their effect on the over-all
productive battle. -
