March 29 (UP) The Truman Senate War See NEWS BRIEFS, page h New Campus Heads Take Off ice Today Tonight's meeting of the Of ficer's Training School, closing session in the two-day program, was postponed until next Tuesday by action of OTS officials yester day afternoon. . Re-scheduling of the Tuesday meeting, at which formal inau guration of the officers will take place didn't halt the taking over of student government powers by the leaders-elect. As provided for in the new voting measure, '43 officers will officially take office today. Ceremonies next week will merely be observance of the pas sage of leadership to the new men. Reasons for Change Reasons for the change in plans were cited as necessity for fur ther time to study all aspects of wartime student government and the inability of student body pres ident John Robinson to attend the school tonight. "We feel a few more days in which to consider the many prob lems now facing Caroli's stu dent institutions would benefit the quality of proposed plans at the second-day open forum," said Bert Bennett. . Robinson As for Robinson, he is at pres ent in the infirmary and natural ly would have. been unable to be at the-yital meetingr; rzxf,:. This postponement also will hold off the discussion of student government freezing which -is slated for a major part of forum time. Bennett stated that this sub ject would , retain its high place on the docket of next Tuesday's meeting and that perhaps a more lucid presentation of freezing plans would come out of the ex tra week's "thought and study." Last night the OTS opened with the four main divisions ; council, legislature, class and publica tions ; meeting in seperate con ferences. '42 leaders and incum bent heads studied the particular problems of their offices and the retiring men passed on the many experiences learned from the first year of wartime function ing to the new officers. At the end of the meetings it was decided to schedule more in dividual gatherings during the week in order to more fully detail the plans and problems of each unit.

Some 16 months later Cadet David W. Hooks of the Navy pre-flight school here strode up the steps into the Playmaker theatre to . witness the last day of the Carolina Dra matic Festival, the predecessors of which he had once helped stage. One-time Ensign Hooks, of Rmifhfield. resigned a commis sion to return to Chapel Hill as a cadet with the 22nd Battalion, beginning the first round of pre flight training last Saturday. Majoring in English teacher training and minoring in drama tic art, Hooks achieved campus fame in his undergraduate days as a top-ranking playwrite, both at Mars Hill, where he spent his first two years, and at Car olina. During his second year here he" worked as student as sistant in the geology library extension, and with Harry Da vis in the Playmaker scene shop.

Students are eligible to take this examination upon the completion of the freshman course in langu age, French, German or Spanish 1-2-3, or French, German or Spanish 11-12-13.

Mann, director of the Horace Williams airport, rule out non-military air train ing for the duration. The prohibition of civilian fly ing has been a vague issue until War Production Board's clarify ing order came through. This order stated that "no single-en-gined aircraft of five hundred horsepower or less shall be sold, leased, traded, rented or deliver ed except to the Army, Navy or government agencies." All Equipment All flying equipment is now furnished by the Defense Plants Corporation. This corporation will soon undertake a purchas ing program designed to buy up all single-engine planes of 500 horsepower or less. Planes need ed by the Defense Plants Cor poration will probably be requi sitioned if they cannot be bought. Civilians attempting to get flight instructor's licenses can petition the WPB for permission to continue lessons to purchase equipment from the Defense Plants Corporation. "Because" of a restricted pur chase of parts and limited per- 'sonnel, Mann said, the Horace Williams airport will be limited in its abilities to serve the gen eral public from a maintenance standpoint.

The faculty executive committee tried the case due to certain internal evi dence and found the boy guilty although he didn't admit his guilt. Since they have no jurisdiction the Student Council reviewed the case in order to reach a decision and to hand down the necessary penalty in case the suspected offender was guilty. It was only a few minutes after the boy sat down in the Council room when he admitted violating the honor system in this course. Decision and opinion: He was suspended from the University. It so happened that this boy was in the NROTC and over 20 ; con sequently he will be dropped from the unit and will be unable to enlist in another reserve due to their being closed at the present time. This probably seems to be a drastic punishment but the Student Council would like to reiterate that a person's military status isn't regarded too highly in our cases. It would be detri mental to our honor system and difficult for us to allow violator to remain in school just because he was in a reserve if his case warranted suspension. night.
