Begun in 1906, the McNair lectures have been given bi annually at the University, in accordance with the wishes of Carolina alumnus John Calvin McNair who set up the lecture fund. Their object is to "show the mutual bearing of science and religion upon each other" and to analyze their force in the modern world. Former McNair lecturers in clude Dr. George F. Thomas pro fessor of philosophy at Dart mouth university, and another Harvard man, Dr. William Er nest Hocking. Hocking, who was the 1941 speaker, dwelled upon the role of religion in "ministering to the basic needs of the soul." In his three addresses two weeks off, entitled Stars, Stones and Stumbling Blocks, Shapley is expected to interpret astron omy and its ramifications for the average man in today's society. Joint Federal Group To Consider Return Of College Students 5 ft n it MISS ARDIS KIPP, who, along with Bill Sharkey was ap pointed co-business manager of the Yackety Yack yester ' day to replace Bob Powell. Kipp, Sharkey Named to Y-Y Expected Departures Cause Revision in Time Campus Portraits To Have Faces Lifted by Restorer 3y Dave C. Bailey Scarred and worn from years of neglect, the portraits belong ing to the University will get a new lease on life at the hands of an expert art restorer who ar rived on the campus last week end to begin work on the 130 odd paintings which hang chiefly in the Di and Phi halls. The project comes after two years' effort on the part of Elton Edwards, its orginator, who ne gotiated for several restorers to come to Chapel Hill for estimates. Lack of funds, however, stalled actual work. Arthur E. Bye, noted Phila dephia restorer, was finally de- cided upon as most fitted to do the job and this fall he agreed to came here. Bye, a fOrmer COllege prOfeS SOr took up his novel profession in 1922 when he was curator of . ia Philadelphia Museum oi axz .Since then he has done extensive work at Princeton and other un iversities. Included in the University portrait collection are two works of Sully, eminent American port rait artist, one by Inman and several by Edmunds, Brown and others. One of the two Sully port raits is valued in excess of $5,-000. The art department is giving assistance to Bye in the Universi ty project. Cooperating with Howards is Dean R. B. House of the Adminis tration. Others interested in the work include J. Maryon Saunders, sec retary of the Alumni association ; John Alcott, head of the art de partment now on active duty in the Navy and Miss Harriet Adams, acting director of the de partment. It is estimated that about two months will be required to finish the restorations. WASHINGTON (Special) The committee charged with returning students to their col leges and universities after the war will meet for the first time January 18. The group of Army officers and educators was ap pointed by President Roosevelt on November 19 two days after he signed the teen age draft bill to assure students who are call ed into the armed . services a chance to finish their training after the war. At that time the President set up the Armed Forces Committee on Education, headed by Briga dier General Frederick H. Os borne, Director of the Special Services Division, Services of Supply. In his letter establishing the little-publicized committee, the President ordered its mem bers "to make a study for the tak ing of steps" to enable the young men whose education had been interrupted "to resume their schooling and afford equal op portunity for training and edu cation of other young men of abil ity after their service in the armed forces has come to an end." The committee is composed of : Brig. Gen. Frederick H. Osborne, director ; Capt. C. C. Baugnman, representing the Navy; Dr. Dex ter Keezer, President of Reed College, Portland, Oregon, now serving in the Office of Price Ad ministration ; Dr. R. C. Harris, President of Tulane University, New Orleans ; and Dr. John W. Studebaker, Director of the Of fice of Education. Although no action has been taken yet, a spokesman for Gen. Osborne reports that the commit tee will concentrate primarily on returning 18 and 19-year-old stu dent draftees to their colleges and universities when the war is over. PU Board Replaces Ex-Manager Powell Ardis Kipp and Bill Sharkey were appointed co-business man agers of the Yackety-Yack by the Publications Union board to re place Bob Powell, it was an nounced yesterday. t The former business manager ieft school a few days before exams last quarter to go on active duty with the Marines. During the time when the position was vacant, Bobby Stockton conduc ted the affiairs of the business manager. (Move for Efficiency For purposes of efficiency, the PU Board decided to appoint two business managers for the year book. This appointment is the first of its kind for any campus publication for the past several years. Miss Kipp will handle the local and national advertising and Sharkey will take care of the activities solicitations and col lections. By splitting up the busi ness managership, the Board in tended that the job be made easi er for the managers and also to get better results from their work.

The new bill was drawn up and passed because it was feared that a great many of the present student officers might be forced to leave school before the end of the current school year and their successors would have no chance to learn the duties of their office but would have to assume it unprepared. New Dates Outlined Under its provisions, official nominations for general campus elections will be made February 16 with the election following two days later. Any necessary run-off s will be conducted February 22. Officers chosen in these elections will assume office April 22 un less they have previously assumed office because of resignation of theirpredecessors. Other business conducted by the legislature last night consisted of the election of Bob Burleigh as a hold-over legislator to replace Bucky Osborne who has left school to enter the Marines. The Chest Drive Windup Asked Dormitory Effort To Last One Week After a War Chest executive committee meeting yesterday af ternoon, Bernard Moser, drive co-chairman, called for winding up of all outstanding Chest bus iness as soon as possible. . , . . Said Moser, ''The drive is in its last stages, but there is still a lot to be done in the little time remaining. The many fraterni ties which have not yet reported their contributions to the YMCA are urgently requested to do so immediately, as are canvassers in the dormitories." Chest plans call for a week effort to reach all students in the men's and coed dormitories who have not yet contributed and to clean up all pledges. Other action taken by the ex ecutive committee was to vote an added 10 per cent of Chest totals to the World Student Service fund. This raises their share to almost three quarters of the drive collections, 70 per cent. Moser also announced that late last year, Bob Spence's Scrap drive committee turned over a $50 check to the War Chest. v. Board Asks Student Help In Enforcing Driving Ban M. W. Durham, chairman of the local eras rationing board, said yesterday that in the "en forcement of the pleasure driv ing ban there is no intention to violate democracy or to deal ar bitrarily with the public." "However, it is expected that every student will abide by the ruling of the OPA in the best in terests of the country. There are approximately 60 cars on the campus owned by students, all of which should be idle unless used for business purposes." Nevertheless, when and if a student is cited to the rationing board by the police or highway patrol, his case will be given care ful consideration, Durham said. The offender will be required to show cause why he should not be deprived of his gasoline coupon book, but he will be given every opportunity by the board to state his defense." Driving for the following pur poses has been interpreted by Norman C. Shepard, state at torney, to be in violation of the pleasure driving ban : to attend meetings of civic clubs, fratern al orders, book clubs, and all oth er social organizations; to go hunting, fishing, or trapping ex cept when it is the car owner's business; to eating establish ments when there are other means of eating nearby ; to mov ies, and plays; to wedding and social receptions, etc. Among other things that are permissable under the ban are: driving by service men on fur lough, pass or leave to visit rela tives or to pay social calls; oc cupational driving including vol unteer workers. Taxicabs may not be substituted for any driving that is not permitted in a pri vate car; Interfraternity Council was also instructed to choose successors for legislators Brud King and Joe Davis who have also left school and who represented that group. Speaker W. J. Smith an nounced the resignation of Wil lie Long as chairman of the Ways and Means committee and as a member of the legislature. Terrell Webster was chosen to succeed Long as chairman and the. executive committee of the Junior class was empowered to choose a new member to the legislature to replace Long. As Webster already held the office of speaker pro-tem of the legislature and since a legislator may hold only one office at a time, he resigned this post to accept the chairmanship of the Ways and Means committee and Cecil Hill was chosen to replace him as speaker pro-tem. Coed CAA Class To Begin Monday; 20 Girls Enroll With government approval of W. R. Mann's plan to instruct 20 coeds in a basic CAA ground training course received yester day, the College for War Train ing announced that classes will begin Monday. Quoto for the class was reached 48 hours after the Daily Tar Heel printed the announcement. The course will be called Aero nautics 31 and meet in Bingham 103 from 6:30 until 8:30 p. m. every night but Sunday. Mann will provide a registered instruc tor from the CAA program at the Horace Williams' airport. Five hours college credit will be given by. the University.

Phillips, executive sec retary of the War College, said that selection of the entrees was based on their teaching plans fol lowing graduation. Those coeds who were planning to teach a similar program in high schools or continue their training for the advanced standing were given preference.
