Chemistry Studes Meet Coach Class Coaching Is Compulsory In Special New Ruling The chemistry department is hold ing for the first time this year spe cial compulsory coach classes for stu dents behind in Chemistry 11, accord ing to Dr. G. F. Lipscomb, head of the chemistry department. "Heretofore all coach classes have been on a voluntary basis, and this has proved very unsatisfactory, as few students attended. Now if a student who is behind cuts two coach classes in succession he is advised to drop the course," Doctor Lipscomb stated. He said that the classes which are held from 4:30 to 5:30 every Mon day and Tuesday afternoons were the first step made by any department of the University towards compulsory coach classes, and if found to be successful might start a new policy in the future. "Numbers of boys come to Caro lina from poorly equipped high schools, and don't know how to study. others are kept busy by rush week, and numerous activities at the nnen.. ing of the year and get behind1 in their studies before they realize it. It is to help these pupils and not to punish them, that these classes are held," Doctor Lipscomb explained.

The or ganization will begin its drive for membership today and following the distribution in all tenements of a pamphlet setting forth aims and designed to arouse student action. The announcement was made this morning by Dan T. Henderson who was chosen spokesman for the group. No officers for the group have been appointed. and the first meet ing will be devoted to introducing the new members to the purposes of the group and to the election of the officers, Henderson said. "Official approval of the new group has been given and we have made a conscientious effort to see that every group on the campus is represented. This will prevent the dissolution of our organization, from the very start, because we will be a wholly student and not secret organization doomed to die of its own activity. "Our attempt will be to cooperate with President Roosevelt in awak ening the mind of the public to the job that faces it if we are to ex pect an early and just end to the war. Our job is more imperative because the appeaser group is the most actively organized in the coun try," Henderson continued. The phamphlets were distributed last night and the students who have thus far joined will begin the drive for membership he said. To make the public aware that the students at Carolina are a thinking and ac tive group will be the aim of the drive and its publicity, he con cluded.
