Sidelights after the auspicious beginning for 1950 included a 'moral encouragement" address President Bill Mackie, and elec tion of officers, during which Uni versity Party fioorleader Herb Mitchell was ayed into the post of speaker pro tempore by ac clamation. Twenty-eight new members of the body were sworn in before any business of the evening was begun. Elections proved dull, with a lop-sided Legislature swinging far toward the UP side of the scales. Mitchell, who was re-elected as speaker' pro tera, was nominated by colleague George Rodman and Student Party member John Sanders moved for acclamation. Dave Sharpe (UP) also won the post of parliamentarian by accla mation before any contests turn ed up. For clerk, (Miss) J. K. Richard son (UP) took 26 votes to win over John Hazelhurst (SP-CP) with 12. UP Legislator Charlie Foley took the chairmanship of the powerful Ways and Means Committee with 22 votes over Graham Jones (SP) with 12. Ben James (UP) captured a weighted 28 ayes to walk over Sol Kimerling (SP) whose nine didn't come near winning him the chair of the important Finance Committee. By acclamation: Dick Schwartz (UP-SP) for sergeant-at-arms, Sheldon Plager (UP) for chair man of the Board of Elections, George Rodman (UP) for chair man of the Rules Commitee, and Bootsie Lyons (UP) for chairman of the Coed Affairs Committee. Mackie gave a 12-minute orien tation lecture to the legislators on general problems that would face them in the coming months. Specifically, he mentioned the enormous budget which they will have to approve, elections laws "which are in constant need of revision" and constitutional revis ion. "The budget should be ready by about April 1," he said, "and the work being done on the con stitution will come before you in about two weeks.

Jan. 12 (P) West Point and Annapolis are mere high schools, not to be com pared with similar Soviet insti tutions, the Russian army news paper Red Star said today. "In general, there are no high er military educational institu tions in the United States which, in the scalo of knowledge im parted, can be fully compared with our military academies, the newspaper said. The Red Star article objected to the use of the term "academy" by Russian translators referring to the U. S. military academy at West Point and the U. S. Nayal Academy at Annapolis. It said the word should be translated only as "school." "It is regrettable that certain of our translators, without su specting it, by incorrect inter pretation of terms, greatly exag gerate the general education level of American officers." Red Star added. WASHINGTON, Jan. 12 (JP) The Treasury Department turn ed out its first batch of World War II veterans insurance divi dend checks today. The SVeterans Administration said, however, that none of them will be mailed until next Monday.

A VA spokesman said the checks sent through the Treas ury's check writing unit this week are being dispatched in bundles 'to post offices through out the country. The bundles will be opened Monday for dis tribution of the checks through tho mails to the veterans, he said. The checks range in size from 9 cents to $528, with the aver age about $125. Payments are to be largely completed by June 30. Postmaster General Donaldson warned that1 "Forgers may at tempt to steal checks from house letter-boxes." He asked veterans to keep their mail boxes locked and to remove mail from boxes prompt ly. U. E. Baughman, chief of the U. S. Secret Service, urged that retail storekeepers be on guard against forgeries.

Young Gardner, who active ly fought the tuition raise for students of the Greater Uni versity of North Carolina last February, informed The Daily Tar Heel yesterday that 'One of my main interests is lower ing the tuition in state-supported schools, and providing state aid scholarships similiar to proposed scholarships by the federal government." When questioned on the pos sibility of a lowering of tui tion rates, Gardner declared, "It will take a great deal of the type of work students car ried on a year ago and it def initely will be a cooperative affair of students, trustees, and (Sec GAPiDNER, page 4) Raleigh Man Is Prominent In UN Action LAKE SUCCESS, Jan 12 (JP) A United Nations group invited member governments today to furnish examples of laws and other means they have found effective in stamping out discrimination.
