Behind Having procrastinated like senior before final exams, the Student Legislature by its con sideration last night of the emergency proposal to modify the Student Council setup may yet crowd the essential reform of student government into these last three weeks. Two subsurface factors lie un der the news stories on the Leg islature's action. First is that the proposal is admittedly temporary.

D. Perry announced yes terday. Informed by the Navy that transfers to V-5 from V-l and V-7 will not be permitted after May 15 except in special cases, Perry said, "since the examina tion scores will not even be sub mitted to the Navy Department until May 10, and only after that will the Navy notify individual students by mail, the time seems too short to make any changes on the basis of passing or fail- ft ing." Decision Forcing V-l members to a de- icision as to wnetner to taxe a chance on. passing and sit tight or change to V-5 before they learn the results, the decision of the Navy Department was the first definite word on such transfers.

It was perfect baseball wea ther, the sun out full blast and the thermometer up in the summer heights. Play, for the most part, was sharp with the infields talk ing up a storm behind both pitch ers. The half-full stands of Emer son took on the appearance of the Ebbets field bleachers in mid July when the mercury made shirts and rolled sleeves obliga tory. Some close decisions against Carolina by the umpire helped the picture along by bringing the spectators to their seats in the bottle-throwing mood traditional in Flatbush. Only bad inning for the home team was the eighth. Everything started breaking wroner for a few minutes and it appeared as though State might be on its way to a determined rally. It started with one out when Wood poled the only extra-baser for State, a See COLOR, page U Photo Collection Is On Exhibition The exhibition of photographs I by Bernice Abbott of "Changing New York" will remain on view in Person Hall Art Gallery through May 12.

C, THURSDAY, MAY 6, 1943 it it it Trounces State Team By 6-3 Score Shuford Hurls Win Over Cellar Squad By Bob Goldwater j- The Tar Heels assured them selves of at least a tie for the Ra tion league pennant yesterday af ternoon as they swept the four game series with the cellar-dwelling State outfit by romping to a 6-3 triumph on Emerson field. t Sports editors across the state predicted, after the Tar Heel win, that the Carolina nine is "practi cally certain of final victory in the Ration League." Carolina now has a loop record of eight wins and one loss while the second-place Duke nine is two and one-half games to the rear with six and four. The Blue Dev ils, in turn, can do no worse than finish in a deadlock for the runner-up post after, their 9-1 vic tory over the Pre-flight combine yesterday. Bob Shuford pitched the route for the Tar Heels and turned in a masterful exhibition of control. In chalking up his "second loop win and fourth of the season, proved that he is definitely over his wild spell by giving up nary a walk. He struck out two and al lowed nine hits.

Ncwm: it ir Of League C7i m Legislators Send Measure To Ways andMeans Group By Jud Kinberg Carolina's student government was only one step from the most radical wartime change in its history when the Legislature last night referred the Student Council reorganization bill to the Ways and Means committee for final presentation. At its next meeting, early in T r.- HT 71 Future Shape Of Campus Twenty-four members of the Student legislature met in Phi hall last night and started action on a bill whose passage may be "the only method for the salva tion of the backbone of Caro lina government; the honor code and student council." Earlier in the week, council head Robinson had learned that Naval ofiicials would allow the continuance of the traditional Carolina system among reserves even when called to active duty. To insure the effectiveness of the group, the powerful, efficient Emergency committee had draft ed the Student council Reorgan- Bob-Uzation bill. Last night it saw the light of Legislature day, and by the middle of next week final action will be taken on what looms as "the most important step on campus in 20 years." Good Attendance One of the largest Legislature quorums in many weeks listened to Speaker Terrell Webster out line the provisions of the bill and then raised only minor objec tions, objections that were an swered by members of the Exe cutive committee. Many of the questions arose from the misunderstandings of the exact region of power of the student council, and were cleared away by a short summary of the student council power by its head John Robinson. When one member asked if the Navy would let a civilian-Navy group have the power to rele gate Navy men to service as ap prentice seamen, Speaker Web ster replied, "I can only say that See LEADERS, page U As Graham Memorial Head iNotice Application blanks for the position of the Director of Graham Memorial for the next year can be secured in the main office of Graham Memo rial from two to ten p. m. any day.

His weekend programs have rproved extremely popular as well as the fireside concerts of Buy War Bonds !. F-S147 NUMBER 163 mittee it Pennant the coming week, the Legisla- ture will definitely decide on the measure, and its vote may "de cide the future of self-government on campus for the dura tion." Raise Membership The Emergency committee proposal would raise the mem bership of the council from 11 to 15- men, with eight of its mem bers "men in uniform" and sev en civilians. The additional men would be appointed by the coun cil itself, as well as replacements as the need arises, with the fin al confirmation power delegated to the Legislature. If the Legis lature refuses to pass on an ap pointee he would be sent baek to the council and an acceptable substitute named. The bill met only small ques tioning on the Legislature floor and these doubts were quickly closed , by the explanations of members of the Emergency committee, including Speaker Terrell Webster, and Student Body President John Robinson. The question as to "whether we can oe sure xne rsavy win follow our decisions" was an swered by Webster, who said that "as far as possible, high Naval men have pledged that the judgment of the group would be followed in dealing with hon or code offenders in uniform." No Women The exclusion of women from the new council, in' line with the precedent set by the old one, was deemed wise because of the "del icate nature of some of the cases." Another reason marshaled for the maintenance of the rule was the fact that two separate coun cils the coeds now try their own cases has been found to be the most efficient method for dealing with offenders.
