Coeds To Hold Job Program Will Begin On Friday Afternoon Carolina's first coed "j observa tional" conference will be held Friday and Saturday under the sponsorship of the YWCA, Dr. William Perry's office and the Dean of Women's office. The idea for such a meeting was brought out in the coed sen ate a short time ago when the senators passed a recommenda tion to ask the administration for a full-time coed vocational guid ance service. They turned to the womanpower commission of the YWCA, set up for the purpose of investigating coed job needs, and together worked out plans for this meeting as a step in this direction. Friday's session will consist of interviews for senior women with representatives from the United States Employment Service and the Civil Service Commission. Appointments must be made through Dr. Perry's office in 207 South Building before noon to morrow. Interviews will take place from 9:30 a.m. through 4:30 p.m. Friday, and will con sist of 15 minute sessions with the representatives. Dr. Perry stresses that coeds need not feel that they will neces sarily receive offers of jobs from these interviews, rather he urges every senior woman to take ad vantage of this opportunity to re ceive experience in interviews with prospective employees. The Saturday meeting will consist of ten one-hour discus sions with people who have had experience in each of the fields of work chosen. The ten fields were selected on the basis of the an swers received to the question naires sent out by the Dean of Women's office last fall. The guest speakers who are to lead the discussion groups will speak primarily on the qualifica tions and opportunities for a col See COEDS, page 4 Corifererice 4 Hobbs Terms Blackout Test SuccessfuF New Signals Pass For Initial Tryout Broken only by a light in the business area and intermittent flashes; of light in the dormitory section, Chapel Hill's' first black out under a revised set of warn ing signals last night at 9 o'clock was termed "very successful," by R. J. M. Hobbs, local commander of Civilian Defense. 1 "We made some mistakes," said Hobbs, "because of the un- f amiliarity of many with the new warning blasts, but on the whole the town was very well blacked out." Under the setup, the first pub lic signal, the Blue alarm, was a steady blast of about two min utes duration on the fire horn and the power plant whistle. This came at 9 and was fol lowed a f ewminutes after by the Red alarm, a series of short blasts for two minutes. By that time the many -lights that had re mained, on at the first Blue blast 1 ' V " M TJ A 1 naa oeen turnea out; unaer tne ai rection fof the air raid wardens.

Then, manys the, people, realizing for the first time that a blackout was on, were quick to obey fegula tions r There was a slight mixup in coordination with other neigh boring towns' blackouts, but Hobbs disregarded this and car- ried out the Chapel Hill test "ac cording to plan."

Gra ham analyzes the problem of the War Labor Board and strikes in defense industries in his Satur day Gerrard hall address, he will speak from a-backlog of experi ence gained over many years of active interest in labor legisla tion and arbitration. .In the early days of Roosevelt's first term, Dr. Graham served as vice chairman of the Consumers Board of the National Recovery Administration and in the fall of 1934 became chairman of the Na tional Advisory Council to the cabinet committee on economic security. Dr. Granam was also a member See GRAHAM, page 4 lire To Ask tMent Fees Present Setup Gives Board of Trustees Regulating Power Over Organizations Control over student fees by the student legislature will be asked of the University board of trustees this spring in a formal request now being drafted by Speaker W. J. Smith and Roy Strowd of the legislature and President Bert Bennett of the student body. Drawing up of the measure is near completion, and it is expected - - -to be submitted to President Board Probes Durham Dairy Substandard Milk Sold for Grade 'A9 The Durham Dairy Products Company, which supplies Chapel Hill with a large percentage of the milk consumed by students, is being investigated by the Chap el Hill board of aldermen in re gard to a substandard grade of milk now being sold here as grade "A," stated Harvey Le- Brun of the Chapel Hill Consum ers association yesterday. This afternoon at 4:30 the board of aldermen meets in the town hall for a hearing which will be open to the public. ; At the meeting the Chapel Hill Consum ers association will present -; a resolution and request that (1) no unsafe milk whatever be sold; (2) each grade of milk be 'hon estly labeled; and (3) that no milk be sold at a price above the true grade price. The matter was brought to the attention of the Chapel Hill Con sumers association by Dr? Wil liam? Richardson, the state health officer assigned to this area; Rich ardson stated that- the milk now graded "A" is in reality grade "C," the lowest grade and is now selling at the ceiling price for grade "A." In a hearing before the board of aldermen last Wednesday the representatives of the Durham company were questioned in re gard to the milk. They admitted that it was substandard for a grading of "A" but declined to take action to correct the condi tion. Richardson asked that they mark the present quality "C," which it rates under present standards, but this the company refused to do. He then asked that they label it as ungraded, but the representatives also declined to do this. They said that they would sell it as "pasteurized" milk, which rates one place high er than "C." Since "pasteurized" milk must be safe and uncontaminated, Richardson said that this would also constitute mislabeling, for See PROBE, page 4 MM A Dr. Frank P. Graham ComtFo! in Frank P. Graham and Dean R. B. House for their indorsement within two weeks. Board of Trustees At the present the board of trustees is endowed with the power to regulate the specific amounts of the fees to be collect ed for each campus organization, such as the CPU, the IRC, the Di, the Phi, and the Debate council. The legislature seeks that power. Its leaders have pointed out that the student body already has voted this control to the legislature, but legal techni calities require that the board also give its consent before the legislature's power will become effective. ; The proposal also would give to the legislature control over the budgets of the campus-financed organizations" -This again' its proponents point out has already been approved by the student body in Section five of the legis lature's constitution "the legis lature shall annually review and pass the budgets of all campus wide fee - collecting organiza tions." Other Phases Other significant phases of the request are: The amount of any fee may not be changed more than once in any one quarter. And no fee may be changed by more than 50 per cent of the amount of the fee at the beginning of the year. The aggregate total of fees never shall be more than the pres ent total $13.70. Organizations The bodies concerned student union, IRC, CPU, Debate council shall have the right to present their views to the legislature concerning their budgetary allot ments, and these bodies may present their views concerning restrictions on the use of their alloted funds. Restored Pictures Go On Exhibition In Person Sunday An exhibition of reconditioned University-owned portraits to gether with examples of unre stored pictures will open in Per son Art Gallery next Sunday at 12 p. m.
