Cjk Juniors To Funds F irst Money Will Be Spent On Picnic In Spring; President Says 'Would Be Most Beneficial' "Junior class funds will be spent this year for the first time since the beginning of the present budget system," Ned Dowd, class president declared yesterday. : He announced plans for" the Duke Head Not Talking On Rumors DURHAM. Feb. 21 W Duke University president Hol lis Edens today neither denied nor confirmed widespread re ports here that numbers of stu dents 'have been expelled for complicity in the theft and sale of examination questions prior to the exams. It is understood that univer sity officials are investigating the activities of a group of stu dents who allegedly have been stealing examination questions and then selling them complete' with answers, to fellow students. President Edens took cogniz ance of what he called the "widespread rumors," but at no point in his prepared statement did he say that an investigation was going on or that students had been dismissed as a result of it. Nor did he mention the alleged theft and sale of ex amination questions. "I want to emphasize," said Edens, "that it has always been tect the mdivfdual student frot public discussion of his personal ..afairs It ..has never been oifr policy. to, reveal. .why any par ticular student leaves the uni versity." Edens said that, while it is true that a number of students, " including some well-known ath-: lctes, have left Duke recently, "it would be an injustice to the boys involved to assume that they all left for disciplinary reasons or academic failure. Humanities Lecturer Despite Faults, U.S. Newspapers Are Doing Good Job, Says Russell "The newspapers .of the na tion, like other institutions, have their faults,, but in many respects they have shown great improve ment through the years and in general they are, doing a good job!',, Phillips Russell said last night.

In revealing the fact that the class funds will be spent lor a picnic this year, Dowd said, "The main plank in my platform dur ing the fall elections was to spend the money allocated to the class, and it was decided that a picnic would benefit the most juniors." - Referring, to his recent plea for suggestions about how to spend the ' class funds, Dowd said he "appreciated all suggestions turned in." It was pointed out that the $500 annually allocated to the junior'class by the Student Legis lature has never been spent, and always reverts back to the gen eral fund at the end of the year. The class officers feel that the money should be spent and have picked the method of spending it that they think will benefit the most people. The picnic, which will be limit-jclass ed to members of the junior class and their dates, will be held on the Saturday afternoon of the Spring Germans weekend. Cur rent plans have the picnic start ing at 10 o'clock and lasting until shortly1 before the afternoon con cert in Memorial Hall. 1 Softball games, horseshoes, and various 'other group activities will be diganized HhrOughout the day in addition to the refresh ments and picnic lunch.

The Committee's report would have carried more weight, he thought, had two or three of its members been journalists. Eight of the 11 members were college professors. Professor Russcl said a recent striking example of irresponsibil ity in news handling and head line writins has been the cold night in Gerrard Hall with the question of legalized mercy kill ings as this year's topic, ffjcials of Carolina's two oldest societies said yesterday. . -' ' . The trial of a NewEngland doc tor, for allegedly killing -one rof his "incurable"1 patients has plurn meted the question of euthanasia into recent headlines. The Dialectic Senate will take the affirmative side of the query which proposes to legalize mercy killings in North Carolina.

John Giles, Herman Sicbcr, Graham Jones, and others from the Phi will op pose the measure. The Phi and the Di were found ed a few weeks after the opening of the University in 17p5 as one society. Differences of opinion on the policies of Jefferson and Ham ilton led to a revolt by some of the society's original members (those favoring Jefferson) and led to the formation of the Phi. Last year's debate on ABC stores was won by the Phi by a judges' decision of two to one. Tonight's debate is open to the public and visitors are being in vited by the two organizations. Handbook Ed ToBeAllston Frank Allston, sophomore from Arlington, Va., has been appoint ed editor-in-chief of the 1950 Carolina Handbook, Sam Magill, president of the YMCA, which publishes the handbook, said yes terday. Work on the handbook will be done by members of the freshman who wiU be chosPn by Ail ston "I want to see the handbook become larger and more useful and to see it become more of a handy reference book which can be carried down rather than a book which will be read once and laid down," Allston said. "We also want to get away from the idea of the handbook's being strictly for freshmen,' but more of a book for all students. "We hope to have the work completed by the end of the spring quarter, and I believe that the staff we arc now drawing up will do a good job. "I appreciate the opportunity to work on the handbook and will do my best to see that it ac complishes our purpose," he said. war with Russia. "Here the sensational empha sis on points of difference in stead' of possible points of agree ment has created an atmosphere of fear and hysteria. "News has -often been highly flavored and even doctored with propaganda ever since World War 1 showed govern ments they could gain certain advantage through the control and manipulation of the news." The great sin of sensational journalism, he said, "is its crea tion of fear and the constant whooping of fear as a necessary constituent of rcadibility." Pep Condave Is Scheduled Here in 1951 . , - i. Pig Conference To Include Men . From 19 Schools By Frank Allston, Jr. " By unanimous vote of the 19 schools represented, the second annual meeting of the Southern Conference Collegiate Pep Con ference chose Carolina as the scene of the 1951 conference. The vote was taken at the an nual conierence held last week at the University of Florida in Gainesville, it was announced yesterday. Carolina's three-man delega tion presented a report to the University Club Monday night on the convention. This report was given by cheerleader Joe Chamblis and University Club President Jack Holcombe contrib uted additional remarks. Pat Fair cloth, newly-elected president of the Card Board, also represented Carolina. The move to hold next year's conference at Chapel Hill came as a result of a "Draft Carolina" move on the part of other schools at. the conference. The Carolina, delegation had not entered bid because of lack of official sanc tion. ' However, the movement gained momentum and at the final ban quet Carolina accepted the con ference only after much pressure was exerted by several other schools. ; icombe said ' Monday night. "You have no idea how important school spirit is becoming all over the South. We were amazed by the spirit shown at the conven tion and by the number of schools present." In his report to the club, Cham blis said that many of the schools decided that they would take up the Carolina chcerleading motions next year after witnessing a dem onstration by him. "Many people came up and asked us to tell them all about our card stunts and our New York trip," he said. "In fact it almost turned into Carolina holding class ' for the other 18 schools," he continued. "We had to shut up and leave out things we really wanted to say for fear of making it too much of a Carolina show." ' As the conference last' week was only the second held and the preceding meeting had also been held in, the deep South, Carolina was the only representative school from this section. It is felt that there will be more of the "northern" members next year. "I'd like to tell the student body," concluded Holcombe, "tfiat it has every reason to be proud of our University. The other 18 schools at the convention hold Carolina's high academic rat ing, her teams and students in high esteem -We. were . over whelmed at the convention Iasi weekend." Dean Bill Friday yesterday cleared up the formality of of ficial sanction for next year's convention by giving Holcombe the go-ahead signal on the pre parations. : Reception at Inn. Opens Conference The third annual Conference of the Junior Executives and Em ployees of the North Carolina Savings and Loan League, be ing held here in cooperation with the University Extension Division opened last night with registra tion and a reception at the Caro Una Inn.

Following the nomination of the secretary-treasurer, the line of business will shift t5 the task of choosing candidates for the three elected campus editWial offices. Since Dick Jenrette, present Daily Tar Heel editor has de clined a possible second term as newspaper boss, Chuck Hauser and Zane Robbins loom as the top candidates for the position. , Tom Kerr, Tarnation editor, has likewise turned thumbs down on a second term, and Herb Nach man seems to be in line for the editorship' of the humor mag. Only . two . candidates, Jack Woodhouse and Jim Mills, have been prominently . mentioned . as candidates for the Yackety Yack nomination, and 'Woodhouse is the favorite at this point. The party will close out the new business of the day by nom inating four candidates for mem bership on the Publications Board. A number of men have announced their candidacy for the Board seats. The leading contenders, however, seem to be Jenrette, Hauser, Robbins, C. B. Mendenhall, Roy Parker, and Frank Allston. Hauser, managing editor of the Daily Tar Heel, yesterday after noon received an overwhelming vote of confidence from the DTH staff when the staff voted him its candidate for the editorship.
