other housemother, a graduate
woman student, and five under
graduate students at present on

were given deep consideration
from the beginning because of
past Graham Memorial policy to
select a younger person for the
position, but these were elimi

The Daily Tar Heel halts publication for the duration with to

At a mid-June meeting of the board, DTH managing editor and
Board head Ernie Frankel will present definite format, budget,

Present speculation calls for the continuance of publications
fees for civilian students, subscriptions for the Navy men. Ad
vertising is counted on to provide a major share of the finances
necessary for publication. . .
This final drastic action came after two hours of discussion in
which six publication plans had been brought up and "completely
examined." AH proposals were weighted on three major counts

Parker and DTH former-editor Bucky Harward, present-editor

O Speculations of a Daily Tar
Heel for the duration were dis
solved yesterday at a meeting of
the Publications Union Board
where managing editor Ernie
Frankel reduced wishful think
ing to the common denominators
of manpower, personnel and me
chanics. When he got through with his
report he had originally begun
to investigate six different pro
posals the only thing left for
the summer session was a weekly
paper the same size as is now be
ing published.
In retrospect, we cannot un
derstand how the Daily Tar
Heel kept up its frequency dur
ing the past year. Other larger

some months suspended their

will be better than an adminis
trative bulletin.
O At a meeting yesterday of the
Student Welfare Board whereon
all the bigwigs of the administra
tion and student government con
gregate to assuage University
headaches, it was unanimously
recommended to the Graham Me
morial Board of Directors and
to the Business office that the
Grill be retained for the feeding
of civilian students only.
Patronage of the Grill has tri
pled within the past few weeks.
The attitude yesterday of the
Welfare Board, plus that of the
Board of Directors, shoufd indi
cate conclusively that as many
as 750 students will be spared the
high prices of town food.
