Local Boards Hold
Draff Aptitude Tesf
Forms For Students
Test Scheduled Here May 26; Exams
Won't Interfere; Should Apply Early
By Fletcher Holiingsworih
Col F. C. Shepard, University I
veterans adviser, yesterday urged
students desiring deferments un
der the new Selective Service
aptitude test to immediately con
tact their local draft boards for
the necessary application forms.
Only one chance is given stu
dents to pass the test. If they
fail to make qualifying scores,
they are likely to find them
selves leaving the classroom and
heading for the induction center.
Col. Shepard suggested that
any person registered under Se
lective Service and wrishes to be
deferred because of his status as
a student, regardless of his pres
ent classification (even if he has
a postponed status), take the test
on May 26.
The test will be given here at
8:30 a.m. in as many auditoriums
and classrooms as are needed for
students desiring to take the test,
W. D. Perry, director of the
University Testing Service, an
nounced yesterday. Final exam
inations for spring quarter were
previously scheduled for that
date, but because of this test,
Dean William Wells, chairman. of
the examination committee, and
the committee along with E. S.
Lanier are working out a new
schedule which will make exams
start at a later date. There will
be no conflicts for students wish
ing to take the test.
As a prerequisite for taking the
test, each student must write to
his local board, or contact it per
sonally, and make request for an
application to take the test. The
registrant's local board is the
only source from which he can
obtain an application blank.
The application blank which
tlu? student must fill in and mail
to .the address given on the ap-.l
plication must show the date, i
place, and number desicnation of
the testing
desired to
center, where
take the test.

Dr.. Archibald Henderson Breaks
His Own Rules For, Good Health
Does Dr. Archibald Henderson
adhere to his rules of health by
never taking seconds on desserts?
Hale and hearty in his 74th
year, Dr. Henderson has always
claimed to follow a certain re
gime to keep him -fit, and in an
interview sometime ago he said
that, to keep his weight down
(the years seem to have added no
pounds) he exercised regularly
and refused second helpings.
But following a recent visit
with Maxwell Steinhardt in New
York where the first formal
meeting of the Shaw Society of
America was held, Dr. Hender

The trainer rubbed his eyes,

Quickly Approves

The Dialectic Senate Monday
night approved, by a three-vote
margin, a bill providing for the
admission of qualified Negroes to

Final endorsement of the bill
came after a spontaneously
formed coalition of members of
the debating society attempted to
block all discussion by postpon
ing the bill indefinitely.
Thomas Mayfield, moving to
postpone the bill, said any argu
ment on the question would ne
cessarily be based on dissention
to the admission of Negroes. Such
a discussion, he said, would in all
probability be derived from atti

porter nominated by the Student
Party to run for editor, "will
strive to put the paper back in
the good graces of the students
through a better campus editorial
policy and more invigorating cov
erage of the day's news," his
campaign manager said yesterday.
Through his manager, Art

desire for a "more complete"
campus newspaper, particularly in
the coverage of dormitory activ

Dear said he plans" a positive
editqrial policy.
. Calling for a complete reversal
of procedural methods in obtain

editor work with the Journalism

program to "arouse the interest
of new students for staff posi

The Daily Tar Heel back to a

cutting the size of the paper, we
can get The Daily Tar Heel on
the, old basis again," he asserted.

Two exceptions were made,
however. The first was t at men

The second affected fall, 1950,

In all innocence, Princeton

initiation now would have fallen
in that category, according to the
IFC. '
The original November ruling
laying down an overall C aver
age requirement will apply to all
those pledged during the past
winter quarter and all there
after. It requires an overall C
average and two quarters of resi
dence. Sophomore pledges must h.ve
35 hours of passing work, half
of which are C's, according to
Dean Fred Weaver's office.
In addition, the IFC clarified
the transfer student's position. A
transfer student pledge who has
35 hours credit, either obtained
here or at his former school, and
who has passed 10 hours of C
average work here may be ini

The deadline for submitting ap

voiced a minority opinion

"It would make it very con

More typical was the idea,
"If they really do such a thing,
it will certainly be tough on

Asking To Appeal
Law School Case
Special to The Daily Tar Heel
RALEIGH, April 3 The
University of North Carolina
Board of Trustees will meet
here tomorrow to consider a
recommendation that Negroes
be admitted to University
graduate and professional
schools when no such facili
ties exist elsewhere in the
state for their race.
Also, Consolidated Univer
sity President Gordon Gray and
Controller W. D. Carmichacl, Jr.,
will urge the Trustees to appeal
to the Supreme Court the recent
decision of the Circuit Court of
Appeals in Richmond which or
dered the University to admit
Negroes to its Law School. The
suit names Carmichael as defend
ant since he was acting president
at the time it was filed.
The Executive Committee pre
viously passed -with but one dis
senting vote the recommendation
that Negroes be admitted to the
UNC graduate and professional
schools when Negro facilities do
not exist elsewhere in the state.
The recommendation was drawn
up by the special Advisory Com
mittee on Admissions.
Usually the full Board of Trus
tees routinely passes recommen
dations made by its Executive
Committee. However, it is known
that at lea:-:t one Trustee has a
resolution which would transfer
the Negro admission problem to
the General Assembly and take
it out of the hands of the Trus
tees. If the group decides to appeal
the reversal of the Hayes decision
last week in Richmond, it must
ask for an injunction preventing
the Negroes' entrance in Septem
ber. Any of the three Richmond
judges or a member of the Su
preme Court may grant the re
quest. Award Won
