Richardson, local health officer, proposed a plan to import milk supplies from Winston-Salem for the fraterni ties as a means of relieving pres ent heavy demands on local dai ries,.Tuesday night at a meeting of the Interfraternity council. The plan which is to be effec tive within fourteen days would by supplying fraternities with milk secured from a Winston- Salem milk company make more milk available for other local consumers and ajso, would give fraternities a full supply of grade "G" pasteurized milk. The Durham Road Dairy concern would be the local distributing agent and would furnish the milk at a charge of one cent ex tra per quart to the fraterni ties participating in the plan. The health officer stressed the fact that the local milk sup ply;had been cut one-half, since the; Durham Dairy, withdrew its facilities recently following a ofisagreement with the local health department over the la beling of various milk grades. r Richardson also stated a be lief i-that fraternities formed a larger group of consumers avail able for the carrying but of this plan than the unorganized townspeople.

Reviving an old DTH custom, hot Coca Cola rickies will be ser ved every afternoon at 3 :15. Student Council Decisions Released by Bennett Editor's Note: The following report on Student Council cases and deci sions has been released by Council Chairman Bert Bennett in an effort to remind students of their obligations to the Honor. System and to. inform them of the way in which the Council works. CASE I FACTS: A freshman was seen by his professor looking on an other person's paper during an objective quiz. Before the teach er turned the case over to the Student Council, the violator re ported himself without having knowledge of the fact that he was observed cheating. From all indications this boy had a high sense of honor. DECISION AND OPINION: He was placed on University con duct probation and failed on the course. It so happened that two other freshmen were suspended from school for cheating on the same type of quiz the previous week. Since this student was a freshman, he was brought before the Council at the be ginning of the year for a thorough orientation of our honor system. The Council would like to say in passing that we are certainly proud of this year's freshmen class, for there have been only about one sixth as many cases from this class as compared with other freshmen classes; also, 90 of the fresh men cases have been reported by two or more freshmen and as yet we haven't had a suspect lie to us in any. way whatsoever. CASE II FACTS : A teacher in freshman English assigned a theme to be See HONOR, page 4 Dance Is Slated For Army Cadets A welcome dance for the pre meteorology students will be held Saturday at 8 :30 p. m. in the main lounge of Graham Memorial under the joint spon sorship of the student union and WGA. Plans are being made for 30 girls from each of the women's dormitories to be in Graham Memorial Saturday night to meet the metorology students. Students that already have dates will be asked to meet them there. No one but coeds and meteorology students will be admitted to the dance. Music will be broadcast until 12 p. m. from the student union office. Requests for special dance numbers may be placed in the office at any time during the evening. Registration Reaches 2,133 Tabulation Shows 'Unusual Drop' With less than a week to go, registration totals for the '43 Spring quarter had edged over the 2,000 mark and reached 2, 133. Tally lines will remain open, but no sizeable increase in enroll ment, is expected. If this surmise is borne out, '43 figures ; will , be far off of last year's Spring of 3,492. , Comparison with other quar ters' figures also showed a large discrepency and what was term ed an "unusual drop." Registra tion for the Winter quarter just completed totaled 2,950, or more than 800 above yesterday's fig ures for Spring enrollment. A survey of past years has shown the average loss between winter and spring quarters to be about 250, or less than one-half what this year's drop is at pres ent. South building explanations for the large drop centered on the departure of the Army Enlisted Reserve, but this group would not make up anywhere close to the 800 deficit. Such conditions as the draft, lack of transfers and enlistment in the active branches of the services help explain the loss. Weather: or not you walk on the grass will make a difference to every gay young blade. : Council Sends New Proposal To All Houses Changes Ensure Additional Rights The Interfraternity council's plan for the full utilization of fraternity buildings in housing the military units assigned- to Carolina went out to the indivi dual houses for their decision last night. Designed as a counter-proposal to the recently submitted Uni versity renting offer that was re jected by the council, the new agreement is based on the plans used at Auburn and the Univer sity of Illinois. If accepted by the fraternities the contract will be submitted to the University for its approval. As it stands, the proposal elim inates the objectional clauses of the first offer. Main objections on the part of the council and the fraternities were that no definite income was guaranteed the house, no limit was set on expenditures on the house, fraternities were required to pay operational costs, no pro viso for return of houses in orig inal condition was included and there was no guarantee on the part of the University that the houses would be rented. .The plan drawn up by the In terfraternity council differs from the University's' on four main counts. "The properties will be leased completely unfur nished and any agreed rentals will be for the building only." Another clause places finan cial responsibility for upkeep and operation of the house on the lessee rather than the fraternity. Any repairs or improvements See FRATERNITIES, page 4 Air Raid Wardens Will Be on Alert For Drill Tonight Dormitory wardens and stu- I dent council representatives will j go into action at the sound of the "blue" signal at about 8:55 to night to make Chapel Hill's sec ond test blackout under the new air raid signal system more suc cessful than the first. Turk Newsome, chief of stu dent wardens, instructed each dormitory , fraternity, and soro rity representative to see that all lights are turned out at the first signal, a long steady blast of the town fire horn and the power plant whistle. Two or three min utes after the "blue" signal man agers of student residences will cut main switches. Wardens will request students to remain in their rooms from the sound of the first signal until the blackout is over. Following this preliminary sig nal cars may proceed with park ing lights on and pedestrians must seek shelter. At the "red" signal, a series of short wavering blasts lasting for about two minutes, cars must stop and turn off their lights and pedestrians must seek shelter. Another "blue" signal will an nounce that the immediate dan ger is over but lights must not be turned on. Pedestrians and cars may proceed as before under the blue signal. There is no audible all-clear. Students and townspeople will be See AIR RAID, page 4
