The 17-year old heiress and the 21-year-old youth are charged with murdering the girl's parents. WEATHER TODAY Cloody, with occasional rains. pated in a previous order will have to attend the meeting. To Pay Dividend In addition McDade announced that the co-op is planning to pay its first patronage dividend to stockholders. Based on purchases made since Janu ary of this year the exact amount of the dividend will be unknown until all stockholders have submitted their claims. John Campbell, co-op stock sales manager, will be present at Monday's meeting to sell co-op stock to those persons who are interested in becom ing members. "All that is required of an indivi dual in order to place a co-op order is the purchase of one share of stock at one dollar per share. This stock en titles a member to place orders and also pays dividends up to five per cent per year," explained Campbell. . To Make Purchases Following consolidation of orders taken Monday, purchases will be made at wholesale prices and itis expected that distribution will take place through neighborhood chairmen on Saturday, April 12. With Tom McDade as chairman and Dr. Frank Kottke as treasurer the co-op was organized last November by a group of veterans alarmed by the problem of "making ends meet" in the face of high living costs. The organi zation has progressed rapidly to the point where it is today fully incor porated 'as the Chapel Hill Mutual Distributors. Recently the University Board of Trustees authorized a co operative store at Victory Village but until this is established the organiza tion continues to operate as a buying club. Open to All Like all co-ops the organization is open to all who purchase stock and no distinction is made between veteran and non-veteran. : "We. welcome all who have found the cost of living an increased problem and sincerely hope that many new people will be on hand Monday night to help us and at the same time to help them selves," said McDade.

The charges were vigorously denied by Franklin D. Roosevelt, Jr., who is presently a mem ber of the National Planning commit tee and in charge of veterans housing, and Walter Spearman, journalism pro fessor at the University. Both Roosevelt and Spearman de nied the acclamations by Hayes in telegrams which were read to members of the Legislature yesterday.

Construction Nearly Finished On Seven New Class Buildings By Ed Joyner An old grad revisiting; the scene of his school days at the Uni versity would no doubt be surprised and shocked by what ap pears, to be an Army camp mushrooming among the hallowed edifices of the campus. But he would be even more surprised a few months from now when the twenty- : nine retired Army buildings now be- Coming: Here April 13 Father Joseph T. O'Callahan, SJ., will speak at 8 o'clock Sunday eve ning, April 13, in Hill hall under sponsorship of the Aquinas club. Father O'Callahan is the only armed forces chaplain in American history to receive the Congressional Medal of Honor, which he won through heroism aboard the aircraft carrier Franklin in the Pacific. Father O'Cal lahan's talk will be on post-war prob lems and his visit to the campus is sponsored jointly by the Aquinas club, the Duke Catholic club, and, the. Chapel Hill Rosary guild. ing. converted into civilian classrooms are more nearly completed. At present work is almost finished on seven of the buildings and construc tion is proceeding rapidly on most of the others, with at least the founda tions laid for all but five of . the 29 units. Work on two others will begin Monday. Nearest Completion .Buildings nearest completion are two on the west side of the library, three near the University power house, and two public health school units near the medical school. Three buildings intended for addi tions to the main library should be finished within thirty days, J. S. Ben nett, Supervisor of Operations, said yesterday. Two of these will be turned over to the library immediately to re lieve the congestion of books in the main building. The other unit will be used as a tool room by the J. A. Jones Construction company, contractors for the building project. Only difficulty being encountered on the job now, Bennett said, is that the dismantled buildings are arriving from Camp Forrest, Tenn., faster than they can be handled by workers here. Word was received yesterday that seven truckloads of the building parts are on their way here now and wU arrive Monday. Although not intended for regular class use before next fall, several of the buildings will be ready during the summer session if needed. Heating will be installed in all units during the summer and the buildings will be ready "for a full time class schedule in September.

Don Shields, newly-appointed cam pus representative for Philip Morris, announced that the "best dressed" contest will be a feature of several of the future popular UVA open houses held each Wednesday at their club. f V t 5 I MRS. E. R. GROVES Exchange Chevrons for Sweaters. . . Nearly One Hundred Former Service Women Matriculating at University this Quarter By Darley Lochner They were Army nurses, Navy nurses, WAVES, WACS, SPARS, and WRS, but. they are Carolina coeds now. Almost a hundred f ormer service women have exchanged Uncle Sams unifiorm for his $65 a riionth and are now students. Carolina's female veterans look very much like the usual coed but they have been places and done things that make them different from the girls who did not join the services. Many women, especially Army and Navy nurses, served overseas. Wanda Reeves of Sparta was an Army nurse in Eng land, France, and Germany for 22 months.. Mabel Hall of Murphy served with the Army nurses in France, Switzerland, Belgium and Germany, as did Thelma Hoffman of Snow Hill in England. All Over Globe Wave Alice Logan of Chapel Hill saw V-J Day in Honolulu. Also in Hawaii were Navy nurse Ada Boyd of Muskogee, Okla., and Army Nurse Dorothy Lunsf ord of Petersburg, Va. In New Hebrides and New Zealand was Sally Gray, navy nurse from Roanoke, Va., June Watson of Kings ton, N. Y., and Clyde Hogsed of Cor nelia, Ga., who are roommates here, were also together f of five years as Army nurses in Hawaii and Guam. Statia Kowalski of Schenectady, N. Y.. was a Navy flight nurse with home base at Guam. Marie Lusk of Las Cruces. N. M., was with the WACS in Australia and New Zealand In many cases women veterans are taking courses specifically designed to aid them in a career chosen while in service. Lib Savage of Henderson, WAC, now studying dramatic art, was a secretary . before she became interested in the stage through a special services group in England. The WACS gave LaVerne Appleton of Milan,. Tenn., her first training in laboratory technician work. Ruby Weeks of Raleigh majored in educa tion at Woman's College in Greens boro but decided to do public health work while in the WAVES. Definitely Civilians Carolina's former service women are definitely "civilians again and so are their unifiorms. Coats and dresses, which were once strictly regulation have been cut, dyed and trimmed into the latest fashion. Babe Hooks, WAVE from Whiteville, wears a dark blue blazer trimmed in Scotch plaid that is definitely not regulation. Reggie Kachigian of Detroit, Mich., once a part of the WAVE unit stationed in Chapel Hill with the V-12 . ;and NROTC units, has a smart three- quarter length rain coat trimmed with pearl buttons that never even hints it was once a WAVE coat. WAC uniforms are little more dif ficult to convert because of their olive drab color. One army nurse tried to dye her 'uniform six times and final ly threw the "streaked rag" away. Jessie Moore of Sharon, Tenn., is mixing parts of her WAVE uniform with civilian clothes, but is saving one dress uniform "for American Legion parades." "Carolina's women' veterans never meet a stranger as long as he's a veteran too," Gail Griffith, WAVE from Charlotte, said in explaining the feeling of kinship that exists be tween men and women veterans. Different Viewpoint Beulah McDaniel, also an Army nurse, from Paragould, Ark., present ed a different viewpoint. "Men don't discuss service experiences around women anyway, and being in the service doesn't help a woman in get ting along socially at all," she said. But it was left to Vivian Wise, Army flight nurse from Latta, S. C, to present the final comment on the relationship between the ex-GI and the ex-service woman. "Chapel Hill is just like the Air corps, she said. The only difference between, the Chapel Hill wolves and the Air corps Marriage Conference Slated for Next Week Mrs. Gladys Hoagland Groves, noted authority on problems of marriage and the family and author, whose hus band, the late Dr. Ernest R.
