The statement disclosed that there is little chance of Saturday classes being instituted here in the 1948-49 academic year but that a five and one-half class week is almost a certainly for next September. Desperate need for classroom space, which would be increased under a semester system, may be the determining factor in the final decision, the statement in dicated. At present the University is studying the situation and will make a report to the mid-winter meeting of the board of trustees. Complete text of House's sta tement follows: "At the June meeting of the Board of Trustees a resolution was passed that the Administra tion "set in motion immediately a plan looking toward the resum ption of Saturday classes as early as practicable. "The academic deans of the University began immediately to study the question and to call faculty and students in to consul tation. Sentiment and opinion here overwhelmingly favored the 5-day week. Moreover, the ques tion arose whether the trustees had issued a mandate to students and faculty to resume Saturday classes. "Mr. William Horner, the mover of the resolution, was consulted on this question. He stated that he had no intention of moving a mandatory resolution. What he wanted, he stated, was recogni tion by students and faculty of the fact that the 5-day week plan was in question in the Board of Trustees, and a serious study and plan to be initiated by the students and faculty to resume the 5y2 day plan. "At the meeting of the Execu tive committee of the Board of Trustees on September 17, Pres ident Graham reported that the studies were going forward and would be a matter of faculty business in the fall quarter. In discussion of the report the sen timent of the board for resump tion of Saturday classes was emphasized.

Cheering Students Stage First Rally For Snavely, Team By Herb Nachman Carolina spirit flamed through Memorial hall last night and fol lowed more than 4,000 cheering students to Fetzer Field where Carl Snavely and his mighty eleven told them what they want ed to know. It came from Charlie Justice who said to a hushed crowd, "I haven't got a nreDared steeeh. but tomorrow afternoon you're going to see this football team up here, go out and beat Texas!" A short talk by Coach Snavely, Joe Romano, Hosea Rodgers and others put the finishing touches to a pep rally that shook Mem orial hall to the rafters and broughts students to sit in win dows and bulge out through the doors of the over-crowded audi torium. Head Cheerleader Norm Sper rallied the thousands from the first yell and kept spirits high for over an hour and a half with cheers and songs, old and new. The program in Memorial hall included the appearance of Nor man Cordon Metropolitan Opera star, who led the. singing of "The Eyes of Texas Are Upon You," and "Hark the Sound." Vic Huggins, who led the Uni versity's cheering section- in 1925, brought the entire student body to its feet with a yell in tribute to Sper. Frank Matthews, music student, introduced a new fight song to the crowd. The highlight of the enter tainment program was the Sigma Chi sextette in their singing of "Tradition" with words by Hank Beebe. Sper introduced a new yell to the students called "Yackety Yack" which he said had been worked out for the squad by Kay Kyser. Sper described the cheer as a "talking yell." The University band provided background for all the cheers and songs which rocked the audi torium. Earl Slocum directed the band in a novelty number en titled "The Swing Blues." Familiar sounds of "Ca-ro-li na," "Blue and White," "Let's Go Carolina," "We Want Snave ly!" and "Here Comes Carolina lina" rounded out the program that makes any pep rally a suc cess.

' The automobiles were a 1948 maroon Chrysler club-coupe driv en by University freshman John Bond of Los Angeles, Cal., and a 1939 green Dodge sedan driven by Carol Fisher of Greenville, N. C.

Cost of Living Rising Steadily CHICAGO, Sept. 24 (UP) The government reported a new high in the cost of living today while farmers bushed to protect themselves against an expected drop in grain prices. The Labor department said the cost of living last month hit 74.5 per cent over the 1935-1939 average. Food costs fell one tenth of one per cent, but other items in the home budget, in cluding rent, rose. The Agriculture department said that farmers are asking for government price support loans in what is growing into a record rush. There are bumper crops again this year after a long stretch of rich harvests, experts said, and farmers are recalling the depression after World War I. Dedmond; Godwin Take Offices In Regional N.S.A.

Bond said that when he saw Fisher begin skidding he also swerved to get out of his way and they collided about 25 feet past the bridge. Bond then went over the 20-foot embankment on his side of the road and almost overturned. Fisher's vehicle con tinued to skid until it came to a halt just past the bridge. Fisher said he was thrown clear of the car when he was on the bridge but was uninjured. The two drivers agreed that the wreck was unavoidable and both breathed a sigh of relief when they found no one was Sec WRECK, Page 4) F Dili IP ;: L At vyAWWBWfc grew . FORMER DEAN of Stu dents E.

(UP) An 18-year-old draft violator was chided by a judge today and told he was "too young to have ideas." Stuart Perkoff, New York's first violator of the peacetime draft, was given a week to re consider his stand as a conscienti ous objector. He failed to register last Saturday and surrendered to the FBI. "He's too young to have ideas He's only a baby," said, judga Edward, A. Conger. He added that "Those men going away are babies too." "It's not up to you and me to make up our minds as to what we would do," Conger said. "The country may be in peril. I do not think I would be too proud if my boy had the same idea." Assistant U. S. Atty. William Koerner said he would delay seeking an indictment because he wanted Perkoff to think over the seriousness of draft evasion. dents representing 500 American colleges and universities, the the NSA conference was held at the University of Wisconsin from August 23 to the 28th.

At Springfield, the high court denied a petition for permission to file a mandamus action to put Henry A. Wallace and Glen Taylor on the ballot.

For this after noon during halftime at Kenan stadium, the long-awaited Caro lina color cards will be unveiled to northside spectators and neck craners on the southside too. Thirteen stunts will be used and the animated activity will get underway right at halftime with the University band slated to play a strong supporting role. Forming the pictures is easy, according to Cheerleader Norm Sper, and none of the partici pants has a thing to worry about except the fact that they can't see the spectacle. Although only two sections of students will take part in the performance, Sper has asked that everyone sitting in student seats wear either white or a light color. Rules for forming the pictures are: 1. No one in the card section may leave the stands at half time. 2. Everyone should check his seat and row numbers with the seat and row numbers on his instruction card. 3. Each person must have four color cards and an indivi dual instruction card. 4. Everyone should follow the instructions on his own card and not worry about what those near him are doing. 5. Everyone must follow the leader. Truman Restored To Ballot in La. BATON ROUGE, La., Sept. 24. (UP) The House of Repre sentatives unanimously agreed today that President Truman's name should be restored to the November ballot in Louisiana but it specifically forbade that he be called any variety of Dem ocrat. The House passed, 89 to 0, in five minutes a bill that would permit President Truman's name to be put back on the ballot if 100 voters sign a petition. The bill was sent on to the Senate, where final passage was expected Sunday night. The bill said the president could not have his name under the picture of the roster that is the traditional Democratic party symbol in Louisiana. Nor can electors for Mr. Truman and Sen Alben W. Barkley, his running mate, be listed under a party name "Similar to that of the Democratic party." Legislators who wrote this pro vision said it was specifically designed to keep Mr. Truman's electors from calling themselves crats." They said Truman-Bark-ley electors could not refer to themselves as Democrats in any fashion. fused to review an action of the State Election commission in banning all progressive candi dates from the state ballot, except local candidates in Cook county (Chicago). The Election commission had ruled that petitions for a place on the ballot were invalid be cause some of the signers had voted for another party in the Illinois primary last April. - Ho OS Texas Rated Slight Edge Over Locals By Dick Jenrette Twelve months of waiting comes to an end for Carolina's grid Tar Heels at 2:30 today, but whether they get revenge for last season's 34-0 shellack ing administered by the Texas Longhorns remains to be seen. The experts pick the Long horns by a single touchdown, but the 42,000 fans expected for the game won't be satis fied with anything less than a Carolina victory. Both teams are primed for the game and in good physical con dition. One Texas player, center Dick' Harris, probably will miss out on the action because of a bad knee, but the Longhorns have a capable replacement in Dick Rowan. Harris, an All American prospect, is particular ly adept on defense. Rowan ap pears his equal on defense how ever. Largely responsible for Texas' prc-game rating as favorite is the 33-0 triumph the Longhorns recorded over LSU last week. Coach Blair Cherry's boys gave convincing evidence that this current Texas team is on a par with last year's outfit. Opening Test Moreover, today's encounter will be the first test of the sea son for Carolina. Although Coach Carl Snavely has an ample sup ply of veterans from last year's outfit, the team can't be expect ed to function with the finesse which the 1947 eleven exhibited near the close of the season. Yet no one is mourning in the Tar Heel camp, unless it is Coach Snavely, who possesses the typi cal coaches' pessimism. Pre-sea-son predictions have the Tar Heels rated as high as third in the nation ahead of Texas and no worse than ninth in any se lection. Chalie Justice heads a talented contingent of 34 letter men who romped through their last seven opponents in '47. Carolina is considered a match for the Longhorns on power plays through tho line, but can't equal the Texans' speed. In Byron Gil Icry, Billy Pyle, and Perry Sam uels the Longhorns have three of the fastest backs in collegiate football. Both teams have good kickers. Carolina's Justice has an established reputation and Texas' Frank Guess can boot with the best. Pole Asks Refuge From Police State WASHINGTON, Sept. 24. (UP) The Polish military at tache who broke with the Com munist - dominated government yesterday probably will get sanctuary in the United States for himself and his family as soon as he asks for it, diplomatic sources said today.
