Perrell Payne Jr., chairman of the local chapter stated: "The Chapter considers the Health Program to be one of the most vital pieces of legislation. . .we intend to go all-out in its support. There are nu merous organizations which are al ready hard at work to secure passage for the program. We intend to work with them. . .and individual stu- dents on campus in a drive to gain a real Medical Care bill and not some watered-down version." Four-Fold Plan Blount Stewart, chairman of a special committee set up for the pur pose of studying most effective means for setting this drive into motion, submitted a four-fold plan, which in cluded the following: (1) To enlist the aid of all interest ed campus organizations in a combin ed effort to gain active campus-wide support for the bill. (2) To print and distribute an in formative pamphlet which will include present health conditions and facili ties in North Carolina, the provisions of the suggested Medical Care bill. (3) To launch a letter-writing cam paign, on a county basis, in an effort to impress the legislators in Raleigh with the mass support which the Medical Care bill enjoys. DTH By Ph Heads Upheld, i Assembly Popular Vote Favors Hodgson, 52-35; Fund Misappropriations Are Charged By Jimmy Wallace The Phi Hall, packed to the rafters, was the scene last night of what had promised to be the biggest knock down, drag out fight in-this year's turbulent series of extra-curricular eruptions. The subject: A debate between Tookie Hodgson, Publications Board , there wonld he nn n-ni! for attack Member, and Foo Giduz, Managing Editor of the Daily Tar Heel. The ' question: resolved the DTH was unfair, unethical, and untrue in its condemnation of the Publications Board, and that Giduz was same for his participation therein. Also Woes tendiek and Giduz were sloppy and unbusinesslike in their management of some items of finance. The latter were: 1. unauthorized debt of $8.05 incurred by Giduz (for office items), and purchase of syndicated features (Mauldin's cartoons and Pearson's column) by Giduz and Woestendiek without PB authorization. Phi Vte Hodgson won. The score was 52 to 34, with everyone voting. The Phi vote: three for: six against. There was tremendous and sustain- on either side.

A said President BUI Cannicha.1. At a recent conference at Winston Salem with the Veterans administra tion officials, which was attended by Mr. J. A. Williams, Mr. H. R. Ritchie, and F. C. Shepard, it was pointed out that only a small percentage of the violations so far discovered were mali cious. The great majority were due to a misunderstanding of the institutions as to their responsibilities in issuing the books. Attention was called to the regula tion which states the "books, equip ment and j or supplies will be furnished outright to the veteran if and as need ed and will consist of those items re quired, but in no instance greater in variety, quality, or amount than are required by the institution to be pro vided personally by other students pursuing the same or similar course. Items classified as "desirable" but not required are not legitimate charges against the veterans' account and will not be paid by the Veterans adminis tration. In case any supplies or books of an unusual nature are needed by the veteran "for the proper pursuit of his course," as occurs at the gra duate level, it will be necessary to se cure a specific ruling from the Veter ans administration to insure that such items are legitimate charges against the veterans account. It was further pointed out that the institution must certify that the ac count of each veteran is true and cor rect, and conforms with the existing regulations. It is, therefore, the re sponsibility of the institution to in stall and maintain proper safeguards to see that only authorized items are issued to veterans. The Veterans Administration will not and cannot attempt to police the See VETERANS, page 4. Al.-.l 0 J. Asea u anyone preseni Hpfpai-pd. hv something tn 30.
