The system worked well for the other major games Wake Forest, Duke and New York University, Crook commented. Main problem confronting the ticket office arises out of the fact that there are 6,700 passbook hold ers, but only 5,400 seats in Woollen Gym. Passbook holders include about 5,300 students, 500 student wives and 1,000 faculty members. Interest in this year's team is at a peak and a plan to cope with the shortage of the seats bad to be devised, Crook noted. The evens were given priority for two games, the odds for the other two.

CHICAGO, Feb. 9 (Special) A University of Chicago student who set up a counterfeiting op eration "to make money to go through school" was arrested here recently and charged by federal authorities with printing bogus $10 bills. William C. Hopkins, a univer sity student, and Richard W. Mc leod, a former student were ar rested at McLeod's' apartment. McLeod's wife, Mrs. Ardene Mc Leod, was also arrested and char ged with having knowledge of a felony and failing to notify authorities. The three were arrested by Secret Service agents who said they found 10 completed counter feit $10 Federal Reserve notes in Hopkin's fraternity house room. Secret Service Agent Harry D. "Anheier'said the' three had been under suspicion since last Aug ust, when they began purchase of equipment and materials that indicated intended counterfeit operations. " He added that the two men told him they had studied en graving method and had experi mented for a long time to de velop the $10 bills. Describing their product as "good," Anheier said the bills could have been passed fairly easily if the pair had advanced beyond the testing stage. i 17 l: "12 r u3Ifi) mi Son Pay n y y 0 Haverfford Man, Coeds Earn Credit In NC Hills HAVERFORD, Pa., Feb. 9 (Spe cial) A band of Haverfofd College Sunday night's raid was about eight students were back home today . after two monins oi earning class room credit in western North Caro lina's rugged mountains.

Faculty Jells -' 1 : Its laedfc On Trustee kction The majority of facty mem bers nere agree witn i advis ability of a semester sysm f or the University ; but disagrees with the procedure followed by tVs ''Ex ecutive Trustees in ordering the six-day week. I - ' Faculty feeling on the Saturday class matter was heard officially for the first time in a lengthy report from the Faculty Council to President Gordon Gray. It was submitted to the president in the form of a resolution which the council passed last Friday. The faculty r believes the ques tion of changing the teaching schedule at the University "is properly a matter within the re sponsibility of; the faculty. This is the traditional and generally ac cepted method of operation in this and other respected institutions of higher learning." Gray read the report to the Ex ecutive Committee of the Board of Trustees yesterday in Raleigh. The report referred to he "mu tual objectives" of the faculty and the Trustees to maintain the wel fare of the University. "A ma jority of the faculty does not re gard the mere provision f o Satur day classes as a significant step toward the achievement of our mutual objectives," the report said. The report says the Trustee or der implies "some loss of confi dence in the faculty" since the Visiting Committp said four years ago that such matters should be left to the faculty's discretion. This refers to the Visiting Com mittee's report to the Board of Trustees on February 28, 1949, ad vising against the installation of Saturday classes. It was the opinion of the Visit ing Committee that the ordering of Saturday classes to curtail week end exoduses by the students was "putting the cart before the horse." The council continued, "Should such loss of confidence be further indicated by subsequent, action of the Trustees that is, if the action on Saturday classes should become a precedent and a pattern for deal ing with problems involving a sub stantial content of educational policy then faculty morale, al ready definitely affected, will predictably reach a very low ebb. r - - " ' , '' illiiliilllliiiilili ; :tj.

An FBI agent quoted Moose as saying he and Sanders entered the Armory through an unlocked win dow around midnight the night of Dec. 8, broke a lock on the door to the firing range, broke another lock on the gun locker and took two boxes of pistols. The agent testified at Moose's hearing that 30 weapons were taken from the Armory that night, but 22 of them were returned four hours after the break-in. The agent,-in quoting Moose, said they first hid the pistols in the woods behind the ' University Hos pital, but returned around 4 a.m., got 22 of tne weapons and re turned them to the Armory. They re-entered the Armory, the agent said, through the unlocked front door. Moose was quoted as saying he didn't know why they took the guns. He also said he moved from Chapel Hill to Durham Chapel Hill to Durham the first of January. Campus Seen Only one student showed up for the history class Friday, but she got a full 50-minute lecture.

Sorbonne Fete Planned Here For Feb. 14 Gertrude Stein On Bread Get A Job You Will Enjoy Say Graduates Of June51 By John Jamison A job is a job is bread on the table, Gertrude Stein might say or maybe she wouldn't. , Not so with Carolina graduates, though. "Be sure you get a job you will enjoy," said a June, 1951 graduate in replying to the Placement Serv ice's annual alumni survey. Comments of that nature were 'made by many of the alumni regarding their choice of a major, the value of elective courses and extra-curricular activities. Most of the 194 who commented on their selec tion of a major felt that they had chosen satisfac torily and that thei- college training in the major had prepared them well for the jobs ;they now hold. Also many of them expressed regret that they had not taken more courses in English. Nearly all concurred in recommending that col lege students who follow them take several Eng lish courses in addition to their major require ments. According the survey, elective courses assume greater importance after graduation than before. Thirty-five alumni stressed careful selection and a wide variety of electives. "The broader the scope the better. Concen trate on courses offering study not easily acquired after graduation," said a former history major. A business major suggested, "Take the most practical courses imaginable courses which would be of benefit in later life rather than snap courses." Many of the '51 graduates felt that students should try to make high grades. They are "a fan indicator of ability to do a task," said a liberal arts major. Others said retention is more impor tant than high grades. One said tersely, "Study!" Of extra-curricular activities, alumni comment is summed up by the words of a former business major: "All of your education cannot come from text books participate in other activities with your fellow students." Nearly all of those who commented considered summer work prior to graduation very important. while you are still in school, it's easy to change One said, "If you find you don't like the work your major. But if you wait until you're out of school it's too late." ' ' . . One man replied, "Upon being drafted into the Army, I applied for a position under the Army's new 'Scientific and Professional Program.' Under this program, the Army utilizes enlisted men with college degrees in their respective fields. The fields that I know to be open now are psychology, mathematics, physics, chemistry, bacteriology,, and economics. The main advantage of this program is, the draftee is able to use his education and gain experience in his field without having to sign up for a prolonged term of service." The 700th anniversary of the founding of the Sorbonne in Paris will be celebrated here Feb. 14, Arrangements Chairman Dr. TJ. T. Holmes said yesterday. The only other celebrations of the Sorbonne septicentennial in the United States will be held during the current year at New York, Chi cago, and Washington. Dr. Holmes will preside over the celebration program to be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, February 14, in the Morehead building. Following the invocation by the Most Rev. Vincent S. Waters, Bishop of Raleigh, special guests will be introduced, including Dr. Hayward Keniston of Duke University, presi- quired Umstead Cites 'Goocf Chance' To Lick Move RALEIGH, Feb. 9. (Special- Saturday classes for the Univer sity at Chapel Hill moved closer to certainty today when the Trustee Executive Committee said yes to UNCs plan for putting in an extra class day and going on the semester system. The vote was 6-2-1. Dr. Clarence Poe abstained, saying that he didn't have enough ' information on the subject (he wasn't present at the November meeting when the resolution calling for Saturday classes was adopted). John W. Um stead Jr. of Chapel Hill and A. Hugh Harris were the two who voted against Saturday classes. Three members were absent. Umstead said tonight that he thought the students have a "good chance" of defeating the Saturday class move. He said that -he and Harris would see that it comes before the full board at its meet ing here in the hall of the House on Feb. 23. It is not necessary that the Board of Trustees vote on this measure, but it can be forced to a vote by a Trustee. At today's meeting, the Execu tive Committee also heard Presi dent Gray tell the group that the semester system would be retained at Woman's College, put in at Chapel Hill in September (in ac cordance with the plan adopted) and instituted at State College in 1954. Until this time, State has been on a quarter system but has had Saturday classes, while WC already has six day classes and a semester system. Gray read a lengthy report to the executive Trustees which was an expression of faculty feeling on the matter (see story in column four). The faculty report said the majority of faculty members here agree with the advisability of a semester system for the University but disagree with the procedure followed by the Executive Com mittee in ordering the six-day week. Under a semester system, stu dents have the nine-months aca demic year broken into two sec tions and the quarter system splits it into three. Exams are taken in mid or late January by the semes ter plan and before Christmas when working under the quarter setup. The semester plan offers a long spring vacation. Proponents of the semester meth od have pointed out from an ad ministrative standpoint it means two periods of registration, grade recording, examinations and the like as opposed to three under a quarter system. The plan under which Carolina will operate on a semester basis was drawn up by its Committee on Instructional Personnel. It pro vides in essence that: A semester system begin in Sep tember, 1953; that the Administra tion require a balanced distribution of classes to prevent avoiding Sat-, urday classes, and that the Admin istration allow deviation from the normal calendar pattern which is adopted to an extent clearly re- by exceptional circum- dent of the Modern Language As sociation of America.

Umstead, who is chairman of the ex officio of the Executive Committee, was not present at to day's meeting. It was presided over in his absence by Frank x ayior.
