Proposal to Give
Students Veto
By Bob Levin
After a 90-minute discussion on a
three-power bill designed to give more
democratic power to students in gov
ernment, the Student legislative un
animously voted on fuller and more
even campus representation but tabled
remaining two sections of the bill for
further discussion.
Definite action of the body resulted
in town students' representation in
creased by two, fraternity membership
augmented by one, woman's represen
tation increased by one and every
dormitory given one' representative.
Main issue of the evening was the
arguments dealing with the proposed
amendment giving students power to
override any act of the legislature by a
simple majority after 10 per cent of
the student body signed a petition fa
voring a referendum vote.
Legislative opinion was split on the
issue with one faction desiring to in
crease the "simple majority" voting
plan to a 25 per cent favorable major
ity. The opposing group demanding a
25 per cent signed petition instead of
the proposed 10.
Willie Long, chairman of the ways
and means committee, attributed some
of the superfluous debating to the fact
that the explanations of the changes
were not given to the body until last
night.
Speaker W. J Smith was forced to
call for a motion of adjournment when
it became apparent that the body was
debating a question of importance to
the general student body and that the
sections of the bill should be returned
to the ways and means committee for
further consideration because it was
in direct conflict with section one of the
constitution.
Smith urged all members to convene
again at 7:45 Thursday for another
session in an effort to pass the two
sections under, question and to present
them for student vote.
Section seven of article two giving
students power to pass amendments
with a simple majority vote after a
two-thirds favorable legislative vote
was also tabled until the Thursday
meeting.

MBS to Broadcast
Student Sunday
Night Session
The Sunday Night Session will get
a nationwide airing because of great
student support and novelty of a col
lege program, it was announced by
Hobart McKeever, chairman of the
Social committee, sponsor of the pro
gram. "If listener support is as good as
student support, let's go to work,'"
said Fred Fletcher, WRAL's program
director and Mutual's representative
at the program.
Starting off with a spontaneous
singing by the students, the program
got under way officially with the sing
ing of the "Star Spangled Banner."
The Universitv quartet did two num
bers which were enthusiastically re
ceived by the students.
The surprise, which had leaked out
over the weekend, began when John
ny Satterfield's orchestra fronted by
Bub Montgomery took over the spot
light and held it for over 30 minutes.
The vocalizing of Ann Russell and the
trumpet playing of George Davis and
Wade Denning apparently pleased the
crowd.

To Campus Group
Bob Spence Named Chief
Of Student Organization
University Club Promises All-Out Cooperation;
Salvage Committee Members Announced
By Jimmy Wallace
A campus initiated salvage drive, designed to work in cooperation
with local and national salvage committees, will get under way to
day as student agencies begin probing in all corners of the campus
for scrap metal to feed the nation's war industries.
Plans for the campaign were completed yesterday with the an
nouncement that Bob Spence had been chosen as campus salvage
committee chairman by Bert Bennett, student body president. Scrap
gathering organization is divided into four parts, a committee for
the town under Larry Berluti, a coed committee headed by Betty
Sterchi, a dormitory committee under the direction of Jack Jarvis,
and a fraternity committee headed by Floyd .Cohoon.
Student salvaging for the town proper has been divided into four
districts. Head of district one is Lee Adams ; district two, George
Whitley; district three, Walter Klein; and district four, Bill Thompson. All the
student salvage committees will have as their primary job the execution of the
drive. Then they will see that the scrap metal is removed to the salvage depots.
Heading the drive for the Delta Sigma Pi house is Lloyd Bost; Kappa Psi,
Harry Allen; Phi Delta Chi, C. L. Shields; Carolina Co-op, Fred Crowder; Tar
Heel Co-op, Gene Reilley; and the town girls, Margaret Pickard.
The coed salvaging organization under the direction of Betty Sterchi in
cludes: Spencer, Daisy Dean Tart; Alderman, Mary Louise Rhodes and Rachel
Dalton; Mclver, Helen Murphy; Chi Omega, Bebe Davis; ADPi, Ruth Notting
ham; Pi Phi, Patsy Miller, and Kenan, Fay Smithdeal.
Dormitory organization under Jack Jarvis names Bill McClure for Old East;
Dotson Palmer, Old West; Don Henson, Steele; Deane Bell, BVP; nee Manly,
Carr; Mike Carr, Smith; and Charles Johnson for Whitehead.
In all the 22 fraternities under the direction of Floyd Cohoon, the junior mem
ber to the Interfraternity council from each fraternity will serve as salvage
chairman for his respective fraternity.
Until further arrangements are made,
by the student agencies will be dumped
the city hall.
The student sponsored drive is acting
recently inaugurated by WPB chairman Donald Nelson. In discussing his ap
pointment, Spence said, "As the war grows on all great battlefronts, it is neces
sary now, more than ever before, to do
for us." He emphasized that while previous scrap campaigns have been con
ducted, the ever-growing needs for the fighting forces make it necessary to
obtain larger amounts of materials.
"What we want in this drive," said Spence, "is iron and steel scrap of all
kinds, brass door-knobs that are useless, worn out pumps, wheels rims, and
non-ferrous metals of almost any kind. The prime dependence we are putting
in the fraternities is that they will see that we get all the tin cans they can find.
j All cans in order to serve best must have
then flattened after the bottom has been cut out. In this way we are able to save
the reclaiming factories a lot of time and conserve shipping space."
According to the WPB, "the American steel industry this year hopes to pro
duce a record-breaking 85,000,000 tons of steel as much as all foreign coun
tries combined. Our country alone this year is going to produce three tons of
steel for every two tons that the Axis can turn out."
"To bring steel production up to the industry's full capacity of 90,000,000
tons in 1942, however, our steel industry needs an extra 6,000,000 tons of scrap
metal for its furnaces. Every ton of scrap we can send them will swell our na
tional production of tanks, ships, planes, and guns."
Each student committee will keep a daily tabulation on the incoming scrap
and reports on the progress of. the drive will be printed in the Daily Tar Heel.
Standing by to aid in the salvage campaign is the University club. Denny
Hammond, president of the club said, "The University club will act as a sub
sidiary to the regular committees and will see that all the campus has a thorough
coverage."
Men to serve on. the fraternity salvage committees were announced late last
night by Floyd Cohoon, chairman of all the fraternity committees.
Head of the ATO committee is Terrell Webster; Beta chairman, Bob Stock
ton; Chi Phi, John Lindsay; Chi Psi, Sam Nicholson; DKE, Sonny Boney; Delta
Psi, Frank Pilling; KA, Ed Tisdale; Kappa Sigma, Jimmy Johnson; Phi Alpha,
Stuart Cahn; Phi Delta Theta, Mac Lane; Phi. Gamma, Paul Simmons; Phi
Kappa Sigma, Ed Council; Pi Kappa Alpha, John Council; Pi Lambda Phi,
Sylvan Shapiro; SAE, Paul Huber; Sigma Chi, Wade Denning; Sigma Nu,
Chuck Clark; TEP, Ernie Frankel; ZBT, Jim Loeb; and Zeta Psi, Junie Peel.
In addition to the coed chairmen named before, it was learned that Genevieve
Schultz would represent Archer House.
