C SATURDAY, AUGUST 24, 1946 NUMBER 20 Football Caravan mmmmmw . ." May Be Reinstated For Future Games Plans Underway To Charter Trains ForNavy,TennesseeOff-CampusTilts By Barron Mills The long-remembered football caravans of '41 and '42 will in all probability be revived this fall if the almost completed plans for mass-production student trips to the Navy and Tennessee classics materialize. Organized under the supervision of Coach Bob Fetzer and the Carolina Athletic Association, plans are well underway to charter complete trains, carrying around 13 passenger cars. It is estimated that these cars will seat around a thousand students, however, it will be arranged to take as many students as possible. May Provide Eating Facilities Sufficient dining cars and eating facilities may be included in the cara van trains to take care of all of the passengers. The Athletic association will arrange obtain tickets to the games for each member of the cara van. . In addition to enthusiastic Tar Heel students, each of the trains will car ry the cheerleaders and probably mem bers of the band. The football squad will have to leave on an earlier train in order to rest-up for the tilt. Tentative Plans Set Tentative plans for the trip to Bal timore for the Navy-Carolina game have already been made. The train will leave from Raleigh Friday night, October 18 and arrive in Baltimore early Saturday morning. Although ho tel accomodations for Saturday night are still indefinite it is hoped that the train can be held over until Sunday. The round-trip tickets to Baltimore is estimated to cost around $15.02. Skeleton arrangements have already been made with the Southern Rail way System for the Tennessee game in Knoxville, November 2. The train will leave from Durham around 1 o'clock Friday afternoon and arrive in Knoxville around 8 o'clock $ Satur day morning. The round-trip will cost around $17.50. No hotel accom modations will be necessary since the caravan will have to leave sometime Saturday night. Oldsters May Recall Old-timers on the campus who made former caravan trips no doubt recall with pleasure the mammoth pep rally hely in Times Square and the Penn trip in '42 when the Carolina "under dogs" pulled the season's upset. Members of the caravan committee have stated that if enough students show interest in the two planned cara can trips it is quite possible that other trains or busses will be chartered for the William and Mary game in Rich mond,' November 9, and the Virginia game in Charlottesville on November 30. AV C Reveals On Instructors' Salaries University Collecting Tuition Fees From Government for Graduate Teachers At the last meeting of the AVC, it was disclosed by a member of the chap ter that graduate student instructors are paying, taxes upon that part of their salary constituting the remit tance of tuition, and at the same time the University is collecting that tui tion from the government. In" effect, he said, "the teaching graduate students, who are veterans, are paying taxes on something f the government has declared to be non taxable, while the University reim burses itself for the tuition it collects at the expense of the government."

"If there is not enough interest in the program to warrant the courses, the University will not be in a position to go forward with any plans to in stitute the flight training courses," stated J. A. Williams, assistant to the business manager. No Definite Plans Williams further pointed out that jio definite plans have as yet been for mulated to institute the courses this fall, and the object in releasing the in formation concerning the preliminary plans last week in which the flight courses were outlined was to survey interest among the student body. The courses outlined have not been approved either by the University Ad ministration or by the Veterans Ad ministration. Unless enough students request the courses by filling out the questionnaires, it is doubtful if the training will materialize. In order to give the students ample opportunity to signify their interest, the questionnaires will continue to be available at the YMCA information desk and the information desk in tHe lobby of South building today and Monday. . Further efforts of the University to organize courses in flight training will be based on information given by stu dents who are themselves interested in taking the courses," declared Wil liams.
