For Intense Training
Carolina's first wartime Officer Training School will begin its
two-day existence tomorrow with the problems of reduced enroll
ments and funds and possibility of freezing student government
the prime considerations of both officers-elect and the retiring
leaders.
This OTS, the first in two years, comes at a time when student
Afrmmmmpnt is -fopincr "mrv3"h
crucial months in recent history."
For tomorrow's session, to be
held at 7 : 30 p. m. in Graham Me
morial, the three main divisions
of campus government will split
up and the incumbents and '42
leaders will meet in small groups.
Student Council members, Legis
lature electees and class officials
are the units scheduled to discuss
their particular problems. K. C.
Cates, accountant of the Univer
sity trust funds, will be present
to offer technical advice on bud
gets and appropriation problems.
"At this time it is important
that those of us who served dur
ing the first war year try to pass
on the knowledge learned," said
student body president Bert Ben
nett. "First consideration will
be ways and means that the new
men can work to improve the ex
isting government here at Caro
lina." The second day of the OTS will
be devoted to a general meeting
of all incoming officers, to be
held at 8 p. m. in the main lounge
of Graham Memorial. Robert B.
House, dean of administration ;
and Dean of Men Roland B. Par
ker will speak to the group on the
administration's stand on war
time student government.
Also at the Tuesday meeting,
publications representatives from
the Daily Tar Heel, Carolina
Magazine and Yackety Yack are
expected to present the problems
that severe cuts in staff and ap
propriations have brought.
The subject of freezing stu
dent government will take a large
portion of the night's discussion
time.
At the end of the school that
night, the president of the stu
dent body, speaker of the legisla
ture as well as other campus of
ficers will be formally installed.
Freezing Plan
Will Be Aired
Campus freezing battered
around student government cir
cles for months goes before, its
jury during this week's Officer's
Training Conference as new men
prepare to take over in a period
of "self -rule's greatest crisis."
Part of the two-day program
will be turned over to discussion
of the various freezing plans, and
conference heads predicted last
night that some satisfactory one
might emerge from these talks.
Already being considered by
proponents of the measure is a
bill drawn-up by former DTH
Columnist Hayden Carruth. Oth
er plans, termed "less radical"
mav be introduced during the
Tuesday session.
A recent news round-up of
Carolina organizations indicated
that, at present, all groups are
opposed to freezing ; but freezing
enthusiasts advocate the cessa
tion of all governmental units,
not cultural, social and civic
bodies. Representatives of publi
cations, classes, Legislature and
Council, who will be on hand for
the meetings, have already
aligned themselves. And their re
action may, it is believed in some
quarters, hint at what can be ex
pected when the new group of
leaders takes office this week.

BOB BURLEIGH was elected
president of the senior class.
By Jud Kinberg
In 1927 when the committee
headed by Harry Comer created
the Institute of Human Rela-
tions, they also instituted tne
first general use of classroom
seminars at Carolina.
"We decided that one of the
best ways for students and
speakers to further discuss the
Institute topics would be for
them to meet in the classrooms,"
explained Comer. "With the as
sistance of the a- ulty we turned
over a large number of regular
periods to the IHR guests and
reversed the usual classroom pro
cedure by having the students
ask the questions."
First Trial
First trial of the new system
came in the '27 meeting when
E. M. Patterson, Dean of the
Wharton school, addressed a
gathering of seven business
school classes assembled in Ger
rard hall. Patterson's frank dis
cussion of the trade problems
facing the world and the future
economy was prophetic in its de
nouncement of the false prosperi
ty of the 20's.
In 1935 the high point of the
Institute meeting came in a gi
gantic classroom seminar. Fif
teen classes adjourned to Memo
rial hall to hear Norman Thomas
and Hamilton Fish, Jr., debate
"Government control of busi
ness." Republican Fish blasted
any and all attempts to curb big
business while Socialist Thomas
called for control of all raw ma
terials and basic industries.
The two radically different !
viewpoints gave the students as
sembled an hour and one half of
divergent social theory that
would be "hard to equal any
where else." Lunch time came
and went and the two men con
tinued to argue Free Enterprise
Capitalism and Socialism and
the students continued to listen.
Institute Changes
The Institute changed to bien
nial meetings and in '37, class
room seminars with such promi
nent world figures' as Vice-President
Henry Wallace, John G.
Winant and Countess Alexandra
Tolstoy were scheduled during

The Carolina Alumni Associa
tion is formulating plans to link
Alumni meetings throughout the
country by means of a radio
broadcast, originating from
Chapel Hill, as part of a mammoth
Alumni Association Centennial
Celebration to be held late in
May.
The broadcast will be in com
memoration of the Alumni As
sociation's founding on May 31,
1843. The fact that the centen
nial date coincides with gradua
tion exercises, planned for May
30, 31 and June 1, permits utili
zation of the annual meetings of
graduated classes as center of at
traction in a roll call day for
alumni of the University.
Out-of-State
The Association hopes to have,
besides a number of local meet
ings to be held in North Carolina,
get-togethers outside the state, in
military camps, or wherever
Carolina alumni may be. Plans
are to link these meetings by the
miracle of radio on May 31, one
hundred vears after Governor
John M. Morehead, and 30 other
graduates of the 50-year-old
University, formed the Associa
tion.
