Herbert Mitchell, student legislature representative on
the Carolina forum, took over the chairmanship of the group
after a unanimous vote of the members following the resigna
tion of Charles O. Long, yesterday afternoon.
Mitchell, a sophomore, has
distinguished himself in debating
and student government since he
entered the University as a fresh
man following his graduation
from Asheville high. He is at
present chairman of the legisla
ture Ways and Means committee
and has served on the varsity
debate ;;quud for the past two
yea rs.
The election of Mitchell came
after Long offered his resignation
at a 4 o'clock meeting yesterday
on the basis that he felt, "The
chairman of the Forum should be
in office from December to De
cember, in that the planning for
each year is based upon these
dates."
He added, "I of course will
continue to work closely with the
Forum to help as much as pos
sible in the future planning."
Mitchell said when he accept
ed the group's decision, "We shall
continue the programs already
initiated and we hope to expand
during the winter and spring
quarters in order to bring more
top-flight speakers to the cam
pus. In this way we shall have
fulfilled our purpose."

College Sports
A minister accused the Univer
sity of Wisconsin today of "pros
tituting" its athletes.
Tin: Rev. Kenneth L. Patton,
who attracted attention when he
declared himself a "colored man"
in order to fight racial discrimina
tion, charged that the school's
athletic policy was a "Roman
circus.
"The cheap sensationalism and
profit taking, the exploitation of
the athletes that is those who
an; not being groomed with loads
of free publicity for a fat killing
in professional athletics after
graduation make the university
resemble nothing more than a
prostitute," Patton said.

After Jan. 4, at 8 o'clock in

made for registration for the I
winter quarter.
Dropping and adding courses
will be limited to Jan. 4, 5, and

ready with the class tickets.
If sickness, which may be veri
fied by a physician's written
statement, makes it impossible
for a student to call for his class
tickets for the winter quarter
by 8 o'clock Tuesday morning,
a student should write, wire, or
phone that fact to Mrs. George
N. Vann, Registration hall, here
at the University. Class tickets
will be held ., f or ...these students.
Students are asked to notify Mrs. i
Vann promptly if they find that
they cannot return at all for-the
winter quarter.
This is the first time this
system of distributing class tickets
has been used. Prior to this quar
ter class tickets have been issued
before the holidays. This method
proved unsatisfactory because
some students would lose their
tickets, or would drop out for
the quarter and fail to notify the
proper authorities, Lanier said.
Courts Martial
Revamp Approved
WASHINGTON, Dec. 7 (UP)
President Truman today ap
proved sweeping changes in mili
tary justice regulations to permit
enlisted men to sit as member
of courts-martial.
By executive order, Mr. Tru
man prescribed a new manual for
Army courts-martial to be put
into effect Feb. 1.
Previously only officers have
been members of courts-martial.
The new manual makes enlisted
men eligible when requested by
the accused.
The new manual is based on
recommendations of a special
civilian committee on military
justice, a House Military Affairs
subcommittee and veterans' or
ganizations. The changes were
authorized by the peace-time
law enacted last June 24.
Army Secretary Kenneth C.
Royall said the new system pro
vides "the means of a better and
more suitable administration of
military justice."
Blood Donor List for Sick Student

Miss Peggy Kimrey of the In
firmary yesterday, said, "I've been
swamped by donors. It really is
wonderful. I have also received
requests from volunteers to be
put on the permanent blood donor
list. Everybody is more than co-ooerative."
