They went in pairs to each of the five dorms, to spend the night as roomates. In their rooms awaited handbooks, copies of Pan Hellenic pamphlets, flower arrangements, and corsages made" by the Chapel Hill garden club. Each couple was met by a dorm h3stess who accompanied them to dinner in Spencer Hall with students and some members of the University Administration. "Wilson Wells introduced the ladies at the dinner. At 8 o'clock they attended meet-in gs of the Women's Residence Council, Women's Honor Council and the YWCA.

(The responsibilities and procedures of these groups were presented. These meetings were followed by a short Panhellenic Council discussion at the Alpha Gamma Delta House and a meeting of the Independent Coed Board in Alderman HalL In ech dorm after closing hours the coeds had a study-break during which refreshments were served and students met and talked with the Trustees.

Prior to his appointment as treasurer, Gill was U. S. Collector of Internal Revenue. He was pri vate secretary to former Governor O. Max Gardner during his term of office and has been both Commissioner of Paroles and Commissioner of Revenue for North Carolina.

"A dinner at the Pines at 6 o'clock will precede Gill's talk," said Al House, Hobgood, YDC president. "All Democrats interested should make reservations at the Pines." The YDC Executive Committee pointed out yesterday that the YDC as an organization does not support any candidate or faction within the Democratic Party. It is strictly neutral in the primary, but unites behind the Democratic candidates in the general election. The constitution of the YDC forbids the organization from taking a stand for any particular candidate or faction of the party and pledges the allegiance of the YDC only to the Democratic candidates as selected in the state primaries and national conventions. Individual members of the YDC are free to -support whomever they please in the primary.

The current program of the YDC is to present the candidates to the voters in a "meet the candidate series" which has already brought senatorial candidate Kerr Scott here, and will bring Senator Alton Lennon here in ApriL Talk On Jobs Is Scheduled For Tomorrow Paul W.

Bv Difk Creed RALEIGH, Feb. 22 The Board of Trustees today approved the creation of a new office in the Consolidated University set-up and heard changes outlined for each branch of the University. The Consolidated University office now held by William D. Car-michael, controller, will be divided into two offices.

Carmichael will be retained as finance officer. The new office of business manager and treasurer will be filled when the State Budget Commission approves the $15,000 salary which will go with the position. President Gordon Gray, in proposing the changes, asked that the finance officer and the provost be allowed to retain the title of vice Besides the changes in the consolidated offices, Gray outlined certain internal changes at UNC, State College, and Woman's College. The trustees must act on any changes proposed for the consolidated offices, but not so on the internal changes at each of the branches. All the proposed changes were the result of a year-long survey conducted by the managment firm of Cresap, and Paget on recommendation by Gray and the three chancellors and on the approval of the executive commit tee of the Board of Trustees in November, 1952.

The overall purpose of the sur vey," said Gray, "was to assist the Woman's College, State Col lege and the University at Chapel Hill in insuring the most produc tive and beneficial use of all their resources. fThe survey was not made with any idea of retrenchment." The proposals for internal changes in the individual bran- ches would bring about a sharp reduction in the number of department heads and other officials reporting to the chancellor. These proposals are "still under according to Gray, and few final decisions have been made. Student affairs, academic affairs, business affairs, and external af fairs (extension service, news bu reau, and Alumni Association) will be coordinated under four deans or vice chancellors. The changes would reduce the number of people reporting to the chancelor from 54 to five at Chapel Hill, from 28 to four at Woman's College, and from 22 to four at State College.

The main effect of the change would be to place clear responsibility upon the chancellors of UNC, State and WC for all activities on their respective campuses, Gray said. Although it has not been definitely established yet, it is believed that the General College at UNC will be placed in the College of Arts and Sciences. Gray said yesterday that the changes for the various branches were "still under study" and that (See 'TRUSTEES, page 4)' Today Our Birthday Exactly 61 years ago today the University of Norrh Carolina read its first copy of The Tar Heel a four-page, four-column newspaper, with no pictures or headlines as they are known today. Since 1893, the student newspaper has livecJ and sometimes struggled through many quarters and one semester of no-news days, vicious opposition, rationed newsprint and frustrated night editors. But it managed to become a bi-weekly in 1909, back to a weekly in 1911 are facts and bills can't be paid every and finally became a daily in 1929.

Today, The Daily Tar Heel boasts a circulation of 6,200, four pages (six on Fridays), seven columns and an Associated Press state wire.
