Due to the speed-up schedule of five hour courses in mathe matics, English, causes of the war and social science the con ditioning program had to be scheduled in the morning when University students do not use the gymnasium. - Indications point to a "good reaction in all classes" as the students ran through their first day of academic work. Some homework was assigned togeth er writh the books that had to be purchased for the "semi-term" course. Executive Secretary Guy B.

The report read, Due to the exengencies of war, we find it necessary to announce the calling up of the Army Air Cprp En listed Reserve, including those who were previously deferred uix til graduation in the immediate future." A request was filed immediate ly by Dean F. F. Bradshaw with the Air Corps asking def errment of the 106 Carolina students af fected by this new ruling until the completion of this-, quarter. No definite information has been released as to the results of the application. -When asked what chances that request had of being granted, War Bureau Director W. D. Per ry replied that he "did not know." Feeling runs strong among the in formed members of the Univer sity's educational leaders that the call date would be extended to coincide with the mass induction of the Army Enlisted Reservists.

Arrangements will be made for the water pageant to be pre sented early in March. The coeds will step to the ros trum when a debate doubleheader is run off tonight.

A Phi Alpha affirmative team will debate with the CICA negative speakers in the first part of the doubleheader; and the affirma tive CICA girls will try to out argue the Phi Delt number 1 neg ative representatives in the night cap. In the third match of the even ing, rm JJeit numoer i amrma tive and SAE negative will dis cuss the points for and against the tourney topic, World Union, in the SAE house at 8 p. m. Although cancellation of the IDi-Phi Alpha debate Sunday night broke up what was sche duled to be the first doublehead er, the audience of more than 100 in the Student Union lounge heard what judges called ".the best debate so far," when the IRC and CPU two-man teams met. Jim Loeb and Dewey Dorsett won for the CPU against the IRC men, Clyde Rollins and Howard Ennis. Since the CPU had the negative side of the topic, this marks the first time in the tourn ament that the critics of World Union have won out. Those who heard the debate, well-presented by both sides, con sidered it one of the finest dis cussions of the question yet heard on the campus. Typical comment termed the four presentations, "lucid, well-thought out and well-presented."
