News: Administrators Return From. Army Conference Conflicting statements and rumors, heating the campus since fraternity housing negotiations began, were chilled yesterday by Business Manager L. B. Rogerson who brought facts and figures from the Army-administrator conference in Atlanta. 1 5? v CARMICHAEL ROGERSON Dean House Says Graduate School Will Stay Open The Graduate school is "one of the most vital sections of the Uni versity today," Dean of Admin istration R. B. House said yester day, and "will continue to operate as long as the need for graduate course continues." Stressing the fact that a criti cal shortage of teachers in almost every field has arisen since the war program swung into high gear, House said that the chief function of the Graduate school is the training of teachers and research workers in specialized fields, and 'that every technical graduate department has been maintaining an extra load in re cent months. Technical Specialists "It takes longer to train a technical specialist than it does to build a battleship," House said, See HOUSE, page U Play Tonight He has directed and, for a long time, managed the Symphony without accepting one penny for the countless hours day and night he devotes to it.

F - S14C, F-S147 NUMBER 124 New proposals brought back from the discussions make it pos sible for the University to offer a new plan to the fraternities which may kill some of the past objections. Rogerson and W. D. Carmich ael, Greater University comptrol ler, attended a meeting of execu tives representing institutions se lected within the Fourth Service Command for participation in the Army's special training pro gram. And Rogerson told the Daily Tar Heel last night that the discussions had revealed a uniform negotiation procedure which will "probably be based on payment to the institution of a percentage of the value of the facilities used or a restoration of net income formerly produced by those facilities." Army Program The Army program thus re moves one of the fraternity ob jections to the University's ini tial proposal. The administration also promised that "the best pos sible contract will be made with government officials, and every cent received by the University will be turned over to the individ ual houses." Greatest fraternity-University difference during rental discus sions has been South building's intention of running the houses used, then paying the fraternity i trustees on a profit basis. The Military also cancelled this ob jection by the announcement that they intend to run those houses which they take over. Questioned as to the possibil ity of houses remaining vacant, until next November, Rogerson denied that anyone actually knows what Army-Navy require ments are "until more definite in formation comes in on the extent to which the facilities of colleges and universities will be used. The answer to this question is held by Army and Navy officials, and is dependent upon the speed in which they complete their plans." Marine Reservists In Upper Classes Excused From Test Juniors and seniors in the Ma rine Corps reserve will not be re quired to take the tests given on April 20, W. D. Perry said yes terday. Repeating an announcement to the reservists which was made at their meeting Friday night, Perry added that the freshmen and sophomores would still be re quired to take the examination. Although they are to be given on the same day as Navy tests, the Marine examinations will be based on general intelligence questions, while achievement will be stressed by the Navy. Graduates Will Take Reading Examination , An examination in the reading knowledge of German will be given to graduate students who have already registered for it next Saturday, March 27, at 9 :30 a.m. in Saunders 109.
