These promotions go into effect immediately. The entire staff of the "Review" had a meeting Friday, January 25, in the McKissick library to dis cuss the next issue, which will be published in Maich. It was voted that the deadline- for all new ma terial would be Fiehruary 1. Mar garet Ianna, short story editor, asked that all short stories be passed into her by this date. The "Review" is the first success ful attempt at a literary magazine since "The Carolinian" failed in 1937. The idea of the magazine grew out of a plan of Clariosophie Literary Society to publish bi weekly reports of the society's meetings in an effort to revive stu dent interest in debating and public speaking. . The Ilypatian Society became interested in this plan, and a merger of effort resulted in a plkn to publish a joint literary mag azine. It was decided, however, to make the magazine a campus pub lication, and work was begun last September for this 'current issue.

The new unit, if approved by the war department, will have 150 stu dents studying business administra tion, 150 studying engineering and 100 in the department of aeronau tics.
