Vets' Checks May Be Late For Transfers Added Form Is Cause of Trouble WASHINGTON, Sept. 23 HP) Many World War II veterans at tending school under the GI Train ing Bill may have to pay their own tuition and living expenses for a while this fall, the Veterans Administration said today. The veterans involved are those who failed to arrange before Sept. 12 for approval of so-called sup plemental certificates of eligibili ty. These certificates are required a new course or new school, of veteran students changing to The Sept. 12 deadline was not disclosed until Sept. '5 when the ! VA announced a new, tougher policy on course and school trans fers. VA officials said the agency was late in fixing the deadline because it could not make definite plans until Congress had approved its appropriations for the year. However, these officials said, We have always insisted that veterans planning t o change courses or schools apply well in advance." They added that those who missed getting in under the dead line will have to support them selves "for the few days or the two or three weeks" that it takes to get the certificate approved. They conceded that it will be a hardship for some students, but reported the VA is trying to ease the situation by hiring employees overtime to process applications quickly. The amounts paid by the vet erans for their school expenses cannot be refunded by VA, they added. Veterans applying for GI edu cational benefits for the first time are not affected. They file so- called initial certificates, which become effective on the date of application. President Coltrane reported that the college had started the new school year with a capacity en rollment of 405 students. On the president's recom mendation, the board voted full approval of plr. to secure ap proximately f" new students for the spring quarter to replace those who will be graduated at the end of the fall semester or who may be feced to withdraw for various other reasons. devaluation of the British pound.

Council Cracks Down On Wrongful Pass Use Students who wrongly use their athletic passbooks will get in plenty of hot water this men for the Men's Honor Council in announcing a crack down on violators yesterday. Passbook holders are warned to uay; --'strict ";adhuxtiicii'' "'-to rules printed in the book, especial ly the one prohibting the trans fer of the books. - Clarification on the status and use of the passbooks has been made by North Carolina Attorney-General Harry MacMullin. In answer to a letter from Act ing President W. D. Carmichael, he has made it clear hat the books are simply a membership in the Athletic Association and not a transferable "ticket." According to the fee setup, the tickets are issued upon pay ment of the matriculation fee, and the holder immediately be comes a member of the Associa tion. MacMullin's opinion was that, from a study of the whole pro gram and history of the athletic fee at the University at Chapel Hill, it is clear to me that it was never proposed by the University to charge students any fee whatever for attendance at ath letic events in which the Uni versity participates as Chapel Hill. They pay exactly the same matriculation fee, whether or not they attend any of the athletic events, and no deduction is made because they fail to use the passbooks which are furnished to them for admission." The Attorney-General's ruling does not have the force of a court decision on the matter, but such decisions usually follow the rule of his opinion. He simply gives advisory opinions when asked by governmental agencies and private citizens. In effect, this means that students are admitted free to University home athletic events. There is a 20 percent amusement tax on gereral admission tickets ind this tax is avioded by the use of the passbook system. Since transferring of the pass books would mean a breakdown of the entire system and a possi ble revoking of the University's right to use the system to avoid taxation, violators will be pun ished by the Men's Honor Council under the Campus Code. fpeac n KL4-v v Q7 Gjb v in the upper left hand corner). flag, which will see action this Nie of Chapel Hill designed the season, according to spokes SP Meet Scheduled For Monday The Student Party will hold the first political rally of the year Monday night in Gerrard Hall in viting new students and old cam pus politicos. A business meeting will follow the rally. Biggest item on the agenda at the business meeting, also open to all, is to recommend persons to be nominated by the party to fill three governmental posts vacated by resignations. A Student Coun cil seat and two legislative posi tions must be filled. Barbara Lowe, Larry Botto, and Chuck Lineberry are the resign ed officials. Lowe resigned the Student Council on advice of her physician. Botto and Lineberry will resign from the Student Leg islature at its first session. They have been disqualified for their offices by moving out of the dis tricts from which they were elect ed. The three nominated persons will probably be appointed to the posts, since the elections law stip ulates that the President must ap point persons of the same politi cal party as that of the resigned. All three are Student Party mem bers. Botto was elected out of Town Men's district 4, while Lineberry is a representative from Dormi tory district 4. Botto also serves as assistant Attorney-General. Rendesvous Room Opening To Be Tonight; Combo Will Provide Music .By Wuff Newell There'll be entertainment galore and free, too tonight when the Rendezvous Room in Graham Me morial holds its fall opening. The room will open at 7:30, and Norman DeLancey's Combo will be on hand to furnish music until the 1 o'clock closing hour. And that isn't all, for at 9 o'clock Jimmy Mills, who kept freshmen, transfers and returning students rolling in the aisles at the Sound and Fur;' show Thursday . night, will emcee a star-studded floor show. 01 Capa tyGrowd Ci Sees Worm Sper Lead Pep Rally Sigma Chi Sextet Headlines Program By Don Maynard "I have a prediction to make," woeful Digby O'Dell wailed to a capacity crowd of Tar Heel supporters last night in Memorial Hall.

Choo Choo," was lyric writer Orville Campbell. Hank Beebe composed the melody. State College also' joined the festivities from Raleigh via the airwaves of station . WPTF f for six minutes. The Cow Coliegiates delivered several - cheers then sang, a; parody on the Phil Harris novelty, "That's What I Like About State." University ' students 1 recipro cated in their six minute portion as the. Sextet again gathered to sing : : It Ain't No Use, State," and roared at the lines "But when they come to Chapel Hill, they run like Carter's Liver Pills." After several more , songs by the Sextet; Chancellor House rose to say, "Boys and girls, I'm proud of you . . . I think I'll play my harmonica." The Chancellor played two songs, ' then bargained with the audience. "I'll play one more song, if -you'll listen to my speech." The students accepted his terms. "This demonstration is a high point in Universtiy history," he said, then drew a laugh with, I haven't seen a thing here that isn't characteristic of Chapel Hill or the University." He went on to praise Kay Kyser and Sper for being "high lights in cheerleading history here at the University." Only a smattering of Tar Heel pennants were visible, though something new was in evidence on stage in the hands of the cheerleaders: blue and white puffballs. Sper and his cheerleaders ran the gamut of fight songs and yells, then closed the hour and a half long program with 'Tar Heels on Hand," and "Hark the Sound." Sam Green of Sound and Fury will present several vocal num bers, and Frank Matthews will entertain at the piano with his own compositions. "Tonight marks the opening of our fall calendar," said Mrs. Mary Jo McClain, entertainment direc tor of Graham Memorial and one of the new additions to the staff. "We're going to have a good com bo and floor show every Friday night. Beginning next week Wally Andrews and his combo will be . a regular attraction, and . a week from next Friday we'll be on the mwm Tdtay Carolina In Opening Game Of Grid Season State College is scheduled to meet Carolina here this afternoon at 2: 30 in a gridiron 1949 bouthern Conference football schedule. So far, neither team has backed out. " Card Stunts Explaned By Cheerer There are a few things that are hard in this world, but if stu dents will follow the detailed in structions that have been worked out; the card stunt programs that 'are to be a feature of the half time festivities at today's game will be a- success. . The stunts will be worked by the student cheering section and the area covered by the display will be 45 rows high and 53 wide, according to Head Cheerleader Norm Sper. Students will be issued instruc tion cards just before halftime and will also be given four 13 by 13 cards, each with two colors, eight shades in all. All you have to do is read the card and follow the sixth-grade-IQ instruction. On the instruction sheet will be a set of numbers. Corresponding to the numbers will be colors. Now, when Head Cheerleader Norm Sper calls for a numbered stunt, look at the card and find what number. Then see what color is indicated beside it. That's the color you hold up. " ' And remember to hold the in dicated color away from yourself. People working the cards cannot, unfortunately, see their, handi work. . If there is no color indicated beside the number, hold up your white card. In order to make the instructions even clearer Sper will explain carefully each stunt beforehand. Remember to wait for the Head Cheerleader's commands. When stunts that require the executor to flip the card, hold it between the thumb and index finger. That makes for a quick, uniform flip and makes the stunt even more in teresting. Cannon Acquited In Assault Case ghn J. Cannon walked out of Buncombe County Superior Court a free man today, acquitted by a blue-ribbon jury of any guilt in the roadhouse brawl from which Police Court Solicitor Will C. Hampton emerged battered and bruised last August 14. ' The jury of 11 white men and one Negro, chosen from a special venire summoned for his trial, deliberated only 24 minutes. Its verdict was greeted by a burst of applause among some 200 spectators in the courtroom. Cannon received the verdict calmly at first. Then, grinning for the first time since he went on trial, he jumped from his seat and shook hands with the jurors. air with our regular weekly pro gram over WDUK." Mrs. McLain also said that Mark Barker will emcee the show which will be broadcast right from the Rendezvous Room every Friday night at 9:30. University talent will be used on the shows, and next week talent tryouts will be held in the Rendezvous Room. "We haven't made any big changes in the room," Mrs. Mc Lain explained, "but we do have table cloths on all the tables now and big glass ashtrays for each table."

But contract negotiations had been settled far in advance and Tar Heel legal wheels are advising against such an action. State College will be trying again to accomplish something that they haven't been able to do since 1942. That year, when the local boys were still suffering from the effects of Pearl Harbor, the farmers turned footballers put the Carolina crew through a 21-14 ducking The Tar Heels have a better than average record over today's opponent, having won 28 games out of the 39 game series Six games ended even-all State Coach Beattie Feathers, who has hinted that he expects his team to win this game, will inaugurate his latest invention, the three-platoon system. Hav ing done Snavely one better, his new method is "strategy," in an attempt to keep a fresh lineup against Carolina at all times. Despite the amount of boast ing coming from West Raleigh, one can perceive considerable amount of real talent scattered through the various State teams. Guards Charlie Musser and Bernie Watts are potential Ail Southern material and could well give some of Carolina's youth ful front-liners a few pointers on the rugged rudiments of football rascalry. Probable starters in the State backfield are Captain Bob Bowl by, Bill Thompson, Paul Dinan, and Paul Bruno. Bowlby, by no means suffering from malnutri tion, was most impressive last year and was awarded the Jacobs Blocking Back Trophy for his efforts; With some 28 lettermen from last year's squad, the Wolfpack ers have monogrammers waiting three deep to get into the fray at the line posts. And they aren't chafing for - spare backs with experience. Such mealtickets as Ogden Smith, Ed Mooney, and Dick Johnson are still hanking around waiting to get back in the game.
