English Course Is Readjusted Hudson Reports Wartime Changes In a report to the University administration A. P. Harland, Professor of English and chair man of freshman English, states that since Pearl Harbor, the freshman English course has been readjusted in sereral ways to meet war-time needs. Three of the most important of these changes, he says, are the addition of some training in public speaking, the setting up of special provisions for early Winter quarter and War Col lege registrants, and the modifi cation of examinations to accord with Army and Navy practices. "From the Adjutant General's Office," Professor Hudson said, "We learned that public speak ing is an important feature of the training given every officer in the Army ; from other sources, that the Navy and Air Corps, too, regard ability to address a group of people clearly, distinctly, and. effectively as an indispensable qualification of an officer. For these reasons and because few of our freshmen entering the Uni versity could look forward with any assurance to an opportunity of taking public speaking elec tives, we added public speaking to Freshman English on all levels." Report further, Hudson says that about 95 of the War Col lege freshmen are being given a speed-up course in Freshman English so that the needs of stu dents with only six months' pros pective residence will be met in such a way that they will be en See CO URSES, page 4 LABOR MEDIATOR and educator Frank P.

Graham- To Speak Today On Labor Board Issu es ; University President Makes First Speech Here Since September in Gerrard Hall War Labor Board member and University President Frank P. Graham will appear before the student body in his first -sche-duled address since the opening of the 194243 term this after noonr at 5 p. m.- in Gerrardhall in aMiscussion of "The Problems of the War Labor Board". Stressing the problems arising in attempts at stabilizing the economy of a nation at war, Dr. Graham will draw from his two years experience on the labor board in presenting a picture of the labor situation and perti nent problems. The speech is being made at the invitation and under the sponsorship of the Carolina Poli tical union, the International Relations Club, men's student government, the Woman's Gov ernment association, the YMCA and the Daily Tar Heel through the Advisory Council set up to operate the weekly News analy sis meetings. Interested students, faculty members, townspeople and ca dets have been invited to attend today's discussion by the famed University president. Special in vitations have been extended to key leaders and organizations on the. campus. Commuting weekly to Wash ington to attend meetings of the Board, Graham has been serving in the dual role of labor media tor and educational administra tor of the foremost university in the South regularly since his ap pointment by President Roose velt in 1941. Prior to 1941, he had long been known as an advocate of justice in labor relationships as a means of promoting national welfare and security and had ample op portunity to put his' beliefs in to practice as a . member of va rious North Carolina and federal labor committees. He has twice been rumored as possible successor to Mrs. Fran ces Perkins as Secretary of La bor in the Roosevelt administra tion. The Chapel Hill Board of Aldermen will meet with the Durham health officers in Durham at 5 p. m. Tuesday afternoon, Mayor R. W Madry announced yesterday. At the meeting, which will be concerned with the grading of milk in the Chapel Hill area, an attempt will be made to establish uniform standards for the classification of milk in this part of the State. 1 New material entered the sit uation yesterday, when a state ment from Dr. H. C. Mason,, bac teriologist in the University School of Public Health, revealed that-the federal Food and Drug Administration had been con tacted in regard to labeling, the milk which has been brought from northern states to supple ment the local supply; The text of the telegram fol lows: "MILK IN INTERSTATE COMMERCE SUBJECT TO FEDERAL FOOD DRUG COS METIC ACT. GRADE C MILK LABELLED AS GRADE A MILK OR BEARING OTHER FALSE OR MISLEADING REPRESENTATION MIS BRANDED THEREUNDER. PROVISIONS STATUTE CLEAR." i (Signed) W. G. CAMPBELL, Food and Drug administration. Mason pointed out that this ruling, makes labelling a matter under federal surveillance, and that the federal authorities may be asked to take action in the matter if the local authorities fail to do so. He believes that Dr. Richardson is right in de manding that the milk be sepa rated into two grades, although the Durham dairy, working un der forced draft to meet the de mand, stated that their facili ties are incapable of processing two grades of milk. Mason also believes that the milk is not safe." for children without boiling, as does Dr. Richardson. He indicated that he thought "there would be serious danger of a gastro-intestinal dis ease epidemic here, if the indis- r- See MILK, page 4 Grad Invitations Available Tuesday Students graduating in March will be able to receive invitations starting Tuesday in Harry Com er's office in the YMCA between 2 and 5 o'clock, it was announced yesterday. Yates, Bronson Take Debates In Final Round Debate Council Cup Is Taken by CICA Effectively parrying the ques tion of the impracitability of post-war Federal World Union, the CICA affirmative team of Phyl Yates and Lee Bronson last night took the finals match from their negative opponents, the Phi Delt's Bucky Harward and Mac Lane by a 2 to 1 decision, and climaxed the feminine-dominated All-Campus debate tourney by taking the tournament. Incorrect report in yesterday's Tar Heel termed the semi-finals debate between Phi Delt and an other CICA affirmative team as the finals and gave the cup to the men. Actually,. this was only ja, preliminary debate and the. blue chip match was held last night. By winning, the CICA not only proved their campus supremecy but gained the right to represent the University at the coming Grand Eastern forensic tourna ment in Charlotte. "The interest, as exemplified by the quality of last night's de bate," said Bill Cobb after the women had taken the final vic tory, "was consistently high dur ing the month of matches." "We feel that some of the fin est forensic talent on campus made its debut in the tournament and that tonight's winners are among the best debaters in the See DEBATE, page 4 Defeat Blasts Playoff Hopes Of UNC Quint DUKE INDOOR STADIUM, Feb. 26 (Special) For the first time in the history of the Conference tourney, the North Carolina White Bantams failed to gain a berth as thev bowed decisively tonight to the league- leading Duke Blue Devils, 43-24. The Tar Heels fought desper ately to overcome the ' over whelming heighth and experi ence of the Blue Devils but just couldn't approach the powerful Devil quint that has dropped on ly one game in 13 starts this sea son.,It was the second time Duke has beaten the Tar Heels, this season and the setback complete ly eliminates the Bantams from tournament consideration. UNC Waits Carolina played a waiting game tonight, taking the ball out side on all foul shot shots during the first half in an attempt to stall the fast-breaking Devil for wards and succeeded pretty well during the first half, going off the floor at intermission trailing only 17-14. But the Tar Heels, hard hit by the loss of Jim . White, Ed Lougee, and Jim Hayworth, couldn't match strides with the sharpshdoting Duke hoopsters in the closing period with the Dev ils pulling further and further out in front. Control of the backboards was the clue to the Blue Devil tri umph. When the Tar Heels shot, it had to be good for the sky- craping uevn live came up with the ball after every scoring attempt. The Blue Devils made the most of their scoring opportunities and froze the ball when they couldn't work in close to the bas ket.

Jurgensen submitted his play to the annual playwriting con ducted in Charleston several weeks ago. In a letter received yesterday commenting on the script, Mrs. Heyward said, "This is one of the best plays received in the Dock Street Theatre Com pitition." The play deals with the fatal istic superstitions of the Danish fishermen regarding the power of the sea to lure men to their deaths. Mrs. Heyward compli mented the portrayal of Neils, the leading character. "There is a definite feeling of authenticity about the "whole thing," she wrote. Commenting on its dra matic value she added, "I would call this unusually interesting; far above the average level ..."
