The new ruling passed by the university Advisory Council to the President wilt not go into effect until Sep tember, 1955, he said. "The fire hazards that the pres ent buildings present is the main reason for such action," said Dean Patterson. "Even though in the university's history there has been no instance in which smoking has caused a fire, there is always the ever present danger." The general untidyness of the classroom floors covered with cigarette butts because of-the lack of adequate fac!1ities provided for smokers is another reason for the ruling, he said. , There will, however, be desig nated areas in which students may smoke in these buildings, such as the lobbies and corridors. Some concessions may also be made in the case of two-hour exams. "Up to now threre has been no smoking in Currell, Petigru, and LeConte," Dean Patterson said, "and If it is not allowed in certain buildings, then it can just as easily be done withont in the Deferred Plan For Changed Beginning in September thi deferred payment plan for stud veteran, university Treasurer I Council To Join USNSA Student council passed Monday a motion to join the United States National Student Association, Don clark, student body president, has announced.

The plan until now gave a special plan to veterans by which they could pay one-fourth at registration and the remainder of their fees in three payments each semester. Mr. Welborne said the plan has been unsatisfactory and the change is being made because of the large amount of university funds tied up in notes still unpaid -nd the misunderstanding as to 'he method of installment paying. Over 100 veterans had still not -aid their final installment as of Tuesday, Mr. Welborne said. George Inman, president of the carolina Veterans Association, aid the veteran situation would "e discussed fully at the next VA meeting.

Among the schools with no .peeial plan for veterans are Duke, Georgia Tech, University of Geor qia, University of Kentucky and University of Alabama. Qualifications Stated To qualify for the deferred pay ment plan, a student must file an application blank with the treas urer's office on or before Sept. 10 for the fall semester and on or before Jan. 25 for the spring semester.
