Educator Predicts Colleges
To Admit Younger Students
WASHINGTON, (OWI Spec
ial) r. Francis J. Brown, con
sultant to the American Council
on Education reported last week
that next year's freshman clas
ses in some colleges would proba
bly include a larger number of
17-yearold boys and girls who
have not finished high school.
A few colleges have accepted
high school juniors for some time,
Dr. Brown said, giving Universi
ty of North Carolina as an exam
ple. Last year over 300 high
school juniors were tested at
North Carolina, and 140 of them
were admitted to the freshman
class.
The increased number of non
graduate high school students in
freshman classes will reflect a
"liberalization and expansion" of
this policy in colleges which al
ready practice it, Dr. Brown
pointed out, rather than accept
ance of the policy -by colleges
which have resisted it to date. The
Navy's refusal to accept men in
its V-l program unless they have
a fcicrh school certificate is a set
back to larger college enrollment
of 17-year-olds.
Dr. Brown predicted that stu
dents who will make up the rest
of next year's college group will
fall into the following categories :
1; Women -particul a r 1 y
freshmen and sophomores.
Among juniors and seniors there
will be a sharp enrollment drop
except among those women stu
dying nursing, engineering, phy
sics arid other subjects necessary
to the war effort.
2. Men not physically fit for
the armed services. In proport
ion to the country as a whole,
however, college men have a good
physical record, Dr. Brown point
ed out. Selective Service figures
show that only 15 of college
men were physically unfit in the
first draft, due nostly to bad eyes.
This figure compares favorably
with the 40 of 18 and 19-year-olds
throughout the country that

ports will probably be found un

neck, in no way the fault of
Wootten-lVEoulton, work on the
yearbook was stopped and held
up. However, as soon as all class
pictures were taken and devel
oped, work began again.
Snyder stated "The Yackety-1
Yack is coming along as well as
could be expected under the cir
cumstances, but' the approach
ing exams have reduced the staff.
Already the bulk of the copy is
in or is coming in soon. The four
class sections are virtually com
pleted and are now in the engra
vers' hands. The introductory
section of the annual is also fin
ished and is now at the printers.
The athletic and extra-curricular
activities sections are progress
ing fairly well and are now half
completed. Work on the fraterni
ty section is practically over and
it should be in the engravers' of
fice within two weeks.
The Yackety-Yack will have
100 less pages this than in last
year s annual. The pages tnat
have been cut out are superfluous
ones, such as kodachromes, double
spreads, and divider pages, sepa
rating the sections of the year
book that have been eliminated.
This decrease in pages is due to
two causes : the engravers do not
have enough copper, zinc and oth
er engraving metals, and the an
nual does not.have enough money
to finance a bigger Y-Y.
Both the decrease in the num
ber of students and a not very
large amount of advertising,
though equal to last year's, have
cut down on the amount of money
givn by the Publications Union
Board to the annual. The engra
vers this year were forced by war
priorities to cut the amount of
engraving metals by 50 of what
was used in the corresponding
period of the preceding year. In
addition, a further cut of 30
was put into effect. In spite of
these difficulties, Snyder said that
the Y-Y is getting complete, co
operation from the printer and
the engraver.
Chapel Hill is as follows: "On
October 5, 1942, the administra
tor of the OPA designated all of
the US not previously so desig
nated as a defense-rental area.
At that time he made recommen
dations that rents for housing
accommodations be reduced or
stabilized to the rents for such
housing accommodations on
March 1, 1942.
Two Months Notice
The principle involved in this
action is that, according to the
Emergency Price Control Act of
1942, the administrator is re
quired to give a defense-rental
aerea 60 days notice before de
claring that the federal rent con
trol is effective in that area.
During this 60 day period the
community itself is given the op
portunity to stabilize and reduce
rents to the March 1 level.
"The failure of the commu
nity to so stabilize or reduce
rents does not automatically es
tablish rent control. It is heces-

For Graham's
Saturday Talk
President Joined
WL Board in 1941
The time for President Frank
P. Graham's Saturday speech in
Gerrard hall was shifted yester
day from 4 :30 to 5 p. m. !
In the address, his first sche
duled talk on campus since the
opening convocation last tail.
Dr. Graham will analyze the
many problems the War Labor
Board has faced and solved in
the years of labor and world
strife.
Carolina's president has been
a . member . of .the .War. Labor
board since 1941 and in past
months his many duties in it
it have kept him in Washington
almost constantly. He has, how
ever, managed to return each
week to Chapel Hill, although he
has been unable to address any
large gatherings in the 1942-43
season until now.
His "off-the-record" discus
sion of labor problems is expec
ted to include the vital ques
tion of strikes in defense indus
tries and the Board's policy to
wards them.
Another prime point in the
speech is the "Little Steel For
mula" and its effect upon the
so-called Little Steel companies
both in the present war and in
the future peace.
Dr. Graham's labor back
ground is long and varied, hav
ing served on both state and
federal committees.
All interested students, towns
people and Navy Pre-Flight ca
dets have been invited by the
University to hear Dr. Graham
in one of his now-infrequent ad
dresses at Carolina.

Succession
Installation Date
Moved to March 30
Replacement of ; student of
ficers who may be forced to re
sign their positions because of
war calls was provided for last
night when the legislature unan
imously passed a bill which pro
vided a systematic means of succession.
Under the new program, the
order of succession will be :
president, vice-president, secretary-treasurer,
senior represen
tative to the student council,
speaker of the legislature, and
oldest hold-over member of the
student council.
No appointment made under
the rulings of this bill shall be al
lowed to continue for longer than
one scholastic quarter. New elec
tions shall be called for in the
legislature's discretion.
Formal installation of newly
elected officers also was advan
ced to March 30 instead of the
present April 24 date, during
the meeting.
The replacement bill passed
with little discussion, a small
flurry over whether the speaker
or the senior representative
should have prior standing for
the presidency being the only
notable point of dissension.
The bill further provided that
if a class president is forced to
resign, the respective class vice
president shall ascend to the
presidency. Other class vacan-
cies, however, will oe iiiiea in
general class elections.
Replacement of officers in
various other campus organiza
tions was as follows:
On the Publications Union
board, a vacancy shall be filled
by the remaining members se
lecting someone from the cam
pus with experience in publica
tions work.
Among the editors of publi
cations, vacancies shall be filled
by appointment of the P. U.
board from the campus of per
sons experienced in publication
work.
On the honor councils, or in
the student council, vacancies
shall be filled by appointment
by the student council.
The Monogram club shall elect
from the campus persons to fill
vacancies in the offices of pres
ident arid vice president of the

UNC Economist
To Analyze Week
Dr. R. S. Winslow, head of
the economics denartment. will
delve into a week of lengthened
ration lists and rumored Wash
ington shakeups at 7 p. im in
the Horace Williams lounge of
Graham Memorial when he
views the week's developments
as analysist for the weekly news
period
Often a guest speaker on the
campus, Winslow has acquired
a reputation as one who exer
cises the far-seeing viewpoint
typical of the economist. Dab- unity
bling in a bit of prophesying,
he thinks the "dollar will fol
low the flag" after the war, em
phasizing that each nation's
trade will follow the diplomatic
line rather than the "laissez-
faire" policy he says has led
to nothing but squabbles in the
past.
Privational Unity
Winslow believes the biggest
national question is that of the
result of privations on Amer
ican unity. Unity, he says, will
increase as rationing grows
tighter, for "the individual is
essentially patriotic, but no man
will standi his neighbor's get
ting a greater slice than him
self. Proper distribution is
bound to result in unity .".
Priorities haven't increased
in . government circles,
however, which the scheduled
speaker attributes to the inabil
ity of the army and navy heads
to accept the over-all view of
production, which attitude pro-
jduction kings must resist. "The

onslaught against Nelson is not
a personal matter. Trouble would
have occurred between the mil
itary leaders and any head of
the WPB who refused to be har
nessed," he commented.
Dr Winslow received his A.B.
degree at Iowa, his M.A. at Ill
inois, and his Ph.D. at Chapel
Hill in '36. Two years ago he
served as associate economist in
the office of secretary of the
U. S. Department of Agricul

resentative for the Engineering,

the government through the ex
