Legislature Defer Replacement Bill To Consider OiDiniouv By Bill Rhyne Unable to reach an agreement last night, the student legislature deferred the bill to replace vacancies occurring in student govern ment back to the ways and means committee for further consid eration of student opinions. Numerous objections to the proposed bill were voiced, but only one amendment was made. That was, "that provisions of the Popham To Open Analyses Captain W. S. Popham, of the NROTC, will turn news commentator tonight at 7 o'clock when he appears before the jirst of the DTH-sponsored news analysis periods in the Horace Williams lounge of Graham Memorial to interpret the news of the past week. Started as a means of clari fying the week's occurrences and as an outlet for news of the status of university stu dents with the armed forces, the news periods are being di rected by a committee of rep resentatives of the YMCA, the International Relations club, the Carolina Political union, the student government and the woman's government as sociation in conjunction with the Tar Heel editors. Weekly Sessions The sessions will take place each week at the same time, and will draw from the faculty for its commentators, who will be supported by maps, charts, motion pictures, and special United Press summaries drawn up for the occasion. The news periods may be come daily, if, after a trial period, it is found that the sit uation warrants it. Popham's comments will deal principally with the mili tary aspects of the war, and will be the cold facts of a 25 year militarist highlighted by his own interpretations of the strategy involved.

Henderson Says Einstein Within Scope of Students It was not long ago that the claim was made by someone that only seven persons in the world understood Dr. Albert Einstein's Theory of Relativity. And Dr. Archibald Henderson, head of the department of mathematics was i listed as one of the seven. Dr. Henderson states that through a new geometrical appli cation devised by him the average college sophomore should be able to understand the famous Theory, which has been the subject of much correspondence between Dr. Einstein and Dr. Henderson. The new Henderson explana tion of the Theory is the subject of one of the main articles in the current issue of the new intel lectualist magazine "Main Cur rents in Modern Thought." The article is illustrated with a half INSIDE 'rVebvutt3 tiwvM Wisher's attack on vacancy bill . . . Popham starts News Analysis series tonight . . . Student government may fall in lap of coeds.

"The bill," Terrell Webster, chairman of the ways and means committee, said, "was prepared because it was deemed necessary by numbers of students to have systematic means of replacing vacancies in student body and class offices." The legislature extended the floor to Hayden Carruth, who was a visitor last night, to com ment on the replacement bill as a result of his opinions expressed in the editorial columns of the Daily Tar Heel yesterday morning. Carruth stated personal dis approval of subjecting the ap pointment of editors of campus publications by the PU board to the student legislature for ap-t proval in that the legislature was not qualified to over-rule the PU decision on such an impor tant appointment. Several members of the legis lature voiced dislike for the pro posed means of filling vacancies in the offices of president, vice president and secretary-treasur-See LEGISLATURE, page 4 Green's Paintings Are On Exhibition In Person Gallery An exhibit of 15 water colors done by Prof. Russell Green, art director at Stephens College, Columbia, Mo., was opened Sun- fday in Person hall. Originally from Iowa, Green received no formal art training until in after college years he be came so interested in the work that he put himself through the Art Institute of Chicago. Upon finishing there, he served his ap prenticeship in Minnesota, and several years ago joined the de partment at Stephens. Just re cently Green was promoted to art director. The subjects of the water colors to be displayed here are See GREEN, page U page diagram in explanation of the geometrical interpretation. The first principle of relativi ty, according to Dr. Henderson, is simply that "the velocity of light in free space, that is, in a vacuum, appears the same to all observers, regardless of the rela tive motion of the source of light and of the observer. The second principle, he con tinues, is that "every law of na ture with respect to one frame work must also hold good for an other framework, provided the two frameworks are in uniform movement of translation. Just to show how simple this is, Dr. Henderson says, "Suppose a great ocean liner, say the Nor mandie, is steaming along in a straight line without vibration See HENDERSON, page U
