VA Warns Veterans On Policy Payments I Veterans needlessly take the 1 chance of losing their money and '- their insurance protection when 7 they mail cash to pay premiums fon National Service life insurance policies, the Veterans adminis-i-tration has warned. A number of NSLI policyhold ers continue to send cash to VA branch offices for premium pay ments. Early in March, the VA branch office in New York City received an envelope with $1, 700 in $100-bills, to be applied tu a veteran's insurance account. VA pointed out that a veter an, making his insurance pay ments in cash through ordinary mail, has no way to prove he made the payment in the event it fails to reach VA. Failure to receive the money leaves VA no choice but to lapse the policy. Veterans are urged to use money orders, postal notes (with es Qf handling accounts through the reverse side filled out in full), this campus agency, or checks for NSLI premium , payments, and also to use the yel- The officers of all organizations low envelopes furnished by VA not now members of the Student in mailing the payments to the Activities fund are cordially in appropriate VA branch office. vited to be present.

Auditing Board Meets Tomorrow Monroe Landreth, chairman of the Student Audit board, an nounced that a meeting of the board will be held in Roland Parker Lounge 1, Graham Me morial, tomorrow night at 7:30, for the purpose of acquainting all student organizations with the functions of the Student Ac tivities fund. Landreth said that there are numerous organizations on the campus not now availing them selves of the opportunity of handling their finances through this service, and that he believes it is mainly because they are un aware of its existence or that they do not understand its operations. Mr. Harry A. Kear, accountant for the fund, will be present at this meeting to explain how the fund operates and the advantag- Campus Party Votes For No Endorsement A routine pre-election Campus party meeting became a sound ing board for candidates seeking the CP endorsement for head cheerleader Sunday night, but the final result was no endorse ment for any candidate. Prompted by the withdrawal from the race of CP head cheer leader nominee D'ick Wofford, Norman Sper and backers of Charlie Stancell and Jerry Pence were present to ask the party for consideration. Sper spoke for himself, Charlie Shreve spoke for Stancell, and Chuck Hauser presented the ar gument for Pence. However, af ter considerable discussion, the party members present failed to j pledge the party support to any of the three. In a statement made after the meeting, party chairman Bob Haire explained that no action was taken, because the party had not had sufficient time to thor oughly consider the candidate's qualifications and "would not have been able to give a nominee full party support on such short notice." Citizens to Vote Bond Issue Today More than 1,000 Chapel Hill citizens are expected to go to the polls at Town Hall today to vote on the $260,000 bond issue pro posed for permanent improve ments, including a new sewage disposal plant, streets, and new operating equipment. As a result of the recent reg istration, 460 new names were added to the list of eligible voters,- making the total more than 1700. The polls open at G:30 in the morning and close at 6:30 in the afternoon, and citizens have been urged by town officials to vote early. Although no organized oppo sition has developed, a Citizens committee appointed by Mayor R. W. Madry and the Board of Aldermen headed by Judge L. J. Phipps has organized every sec tion of the town with the view of getting out a big vote, and the Community council and the League of Women Voters have sponsored a public hearing and strongly endorsed the bond issue. Town Manager G. W. Ray has estimated that if the bond issue passes no increase in the tax rate will be necessary for the next two years at least.

These are being speci ally considered, House said, since The matter is out of the Uni versity's hands." "We have no alternative in considering these applications, he explained, "Except to make a report of them to the Board of Trustees. If any action is to be taken in this matter it must be taken by the Trustees."

A member of the Southern Newspaper Publishers association, Ramsey has been president of the North Carolina Press association. He served as Democratic elector at large at the N. C.

These sections are all located between the 35 and 45 yard line. Since it is necessary for the card section to be a solid block, aisle 17 will be completely block ed off by the insallation of seats. The section will be 52 seats wide and 42 rows high. The booths inside all three gates will be marked "Card Sec tion" in order to allow each stu dent his choice whether he de sired to sit in the card section. There will be no reserved seats in the section but will be avail- able on the first come first served (See CARDS, page 4) board of control over the Uni versity.

It was explained by the Chan cellor that from time to time, whenever these matters arise it is a standing policy to direct them to the Board of Trustees. In 1932 Raymond Hocutt, Ne gro student at North Carolina college, sought entrance to the University Pharmacy school, but failed in his plea due to poor grades. Several other applica tions have been received periodi cally since then. Deadline for Law school appli cations was April 1.

Veterans Given Leave Regardless Unless veterans attending col leges and universities under the G-I Bill notify Veterans Admin istration within 30 days before the end of a term or semester that they do not want to take leave, VA automatically will place them on 15 days leave. VA explained that veterans in these schools are placed on sub sistence rolls from the date of enrollment until 15 days after the close of the term or semester. This automatic 15-day leave pol icy makes it possible for veterans studying under the accelerated program to recieve unbroken subsistence payments between terms or semesters. . A veteran placed on 15 days' leave will receive subsistence al lowances for that period. His training at government expense will be reduced by 15 days. Veterans who do not want their entitlement so reduced should notify VA to that effect. There will be no forms supplied for this notification. Veterans should write to E. C. Hemingway, Chief of Vocational Rehabilitation and Education Division, Winston-Salem, if they do not want the leave. This notification must be sent by May 7, 30 days before the end of the spring term, and is must include the vets C num ber. plications had been received from 200 students, 100 to 120 of which will be selected within a month by the Law School Facul ty Committee on Admissions One of the law applicants is James Walker, Negro veteran law student at North Carolina college, from Statesville.

But the most exciting event of the night was Charlie Hodson's speech. Hodson began by stressing the issues facing the student body. On the question of redistricting he declared, "Let us do away, once and for all, with taxation without representation. "The next issue at stake," he pointed out, "is the right of ev ery student to appeal any decis ion of the Men's or Women's councils to a higher court under student government, or whether this traditional right of the stu dents shall pass into the hands of the faculty."
