APO Meets Tonight Student Council Explains Honor System to Freshmen he suspects of violating the Under a more comprehensive system whom that began during summer session, the student council has met more than half of the freshman class in small groups and explained to them the details and obligations of the Honor System as it functions at Carolina. In previous years, an excuse used often by freshmen accused of violating the Honor System is that they were never orientated properly. It is to re move all possibility of such an excuse that the Council is working two hours a night four days a week to make sure that each freshman has the Honor Sys tem presented to him accurately. The Council has several counselors and their freshmen meet and this grop is broken down into smaller groups with a member of ,the council discuss ing in an informal way all the aspects of the Honor Code.

"They were notably social, distinctively moral, and penetratingly informed. Nor were they nationalist to an extreme. The Czech question rather, as Masaryk envisaged it, was a world question. Czech interest could only be consolidated and ad vanced on a world basis. Czechoslovak democracy was, therefore, internation al and, in fact, universal in prespec- tive and principle." Dr. Warren spent several years in Czechoslovakia gathering material for "Masaryk Democracy," which is a work m social philosophy elaborating the functional cultural basis of democracy. it is asserted to be an intellectual biog raphy rather than a biography in the normal sense of the word.

Fotitch has agreed to speak infor mally after his address in open dis cussion with his audience, Morgan re ported. The emissary will be a guest of IRC members at a Carolina Inn banquet and will attend a reception at the student union following the address and open forum. The envoy has been permanent Yu goslav Under Secretary of Foreign Affairs since the early 1920 's.

The Fotitch address will be third on the fall series of IRC addresses by famous diplomats. Second will be next Wednesday, October 28, when Sir Girja Bajpai, agent general of India, will speak in Memorial hall. Richardson Says Milk Situation Entirely Cleared America's role in the Yugoslav revolution of April, 1941, when Peter II took over the throne and Yugoslavia broke relations with the Axis to join -the Allies. According to Newsweek magazine, the IRC's speaker is a close friend of President Roosevelt. It was Fotitch, Newsweek states, who convinced Roosevelt in February, 1941, to cut Yugoslavia in on lend-lease aid at the moment Yugoslavia's premier and for eign minister were in Berchtesgaden to sign a pact with Hitler. Fotitch's speedy action stopped his countrymen from signing the pact. Again, before the April revolution, Fotitch saw his country's leaders swinging toward the Axis and quickly got six Yugoslav shipping companies to start a "Free Yugoslavia" , movement, with the warning that they, would transfer their shipping .to the British flae- if Yugoslavian diplomats signed with the Axis. The top Yugoslav in . the United States, Fotitch is also a personal friend of Eduard Benes, president of Czechoslovakia. Morgan said last night that as the greatest representative of the only European country actively revolting against the Nazi yoke, Fotitch can be expected to give the most revealing announced that would e one open meeting on the WSSF conference schedule. This will be held at 11 a. m. Sunday in the Methodist church, and will feature an address by Alan Booth, general secre ary of the British student movement.

Small Student Vote Passed New Legislature Amendment By Bob Levin A sleepy campus took four days to vote themselves more power last week as they barely shoved through four legislative amendments giving them more power in government. A great majority of the voters do not grasp the full significance of the ballot box results. A simple explana tion of the stilted constitution read ing is presented for easier student di gest of their power. , 1. Since the Pre-flight school took over the upper and lower quadrangles, students have doubled, tripled and quadrupled into new rooms. Many have left for better rooms in town. Many are livine in dorms which were coed buildings last year. To reproportion student representation in the legislar ture an amendment was proposed giv ing one extra representative to the fra ternities, one extra to the woman's government, two extra for the town students, and one representative for Carr, Smith ' and " Whitehead dormi tories.
