Poll Determines Knowledge
Of Carolina Student Body
The results of a general knowledge poll designed to determine
how familiar the average Carolina Student is with important facts
of the day were made public Sunday night. The poll, conducted
by the Tar Heel, was divided into three partscontaining five ques
tions each of national, international and campus interest. Members
of the Tar Heel staff responsible for the polling worked along the
lines set forth by the conductors of
the more famous national public in
terest polls in deciding what propor
tion of students to question and to
what portion of the student body they
would belong. Answers were obtained
from civilian male students, coeds, V
12 and veterans according to the part
these segments compose of the entire
campus population.
Questions included in the poll were
submitted by Tar Heel staff members
and chosen by poll officials according
to their prominence in the headlines
todayi Poll officials claim all trick
questions were weeded out and too
specific points were dropped.
A little over half of the questions
were answered correctly in all three
categories, according to the announced
results. Civilian men made the best
showing with a score of 68.7 percent
with veterans coming in second with
64.6 percent of the questions answered
correctly. Coeds made the poorest
showing with less than half or 48.7
percent of the fair sex giving the
right answers. V-12 students were
above this with a score sof 53.1 percent.
Significant Figure
In announcing the results, officials
contend the most significant figure is
the 44.4 percent score on the national
affairs section of the poll. That is to
say only 44.4 per cent of the national
interest questions could be answered
by students of this acmpus. Coeds
could answer 34.4 per cent of this
division and veterans led the campus
with a 72 per cent score, on this part.
Poll-takers were instructed by the
sponsors to avoid polling any set type
or class of student, and an effort was
made to question primarily students
who have been here for at least one
semester, though several freshmen
and transfers were polled to give bal
ance to the national and international
sections.
In examining the results of specific
questions, it was disclosed that only
58 percent of all persons polled could
name the two senators from their
home states. Eeynolds was time and
again named as a Senatpr from North
Carolina despite the. fact that Reyn
olds didn't even run for re-election in
1944. Exactly seven percent of the
V-12 students knew who the Reconver
sion Director of the United States is,
12 percent of the coeds can name the
Fresident of the Senate: None of the
questions could be answered by the
entire campus, but every veteran
polled knew who will be ihe first axis
nation to receive a peace treaty.

sponsible for this poll invite .inspec

End Of War Came As Great Relief To Japs
By Jo Pugh
"The end of the war came as a
great relief to the Japanese," said
Mrs. Kay iTerrefl, pretty YWCA sec
retary who taught at Kwassiee Col
lege in Nagasaki for two years. She
believes that occupation will proceed
smoothly because the Japanese have
fought a long time and are glad to
see peace.
Mrs. Ferrell, who came to Carolina
hn 1944 after traveling for the na
tional stall oi tne x wja, nas maae
herself - popular on the campus with
her friendliness and enthusiasm. She
is a graduate of Ohio Wesleyan, with
a major in sociology. While still in
college, she became interested in in
ternational relations. She wanted to
see how the world worked together.
Thus it was natural that, when the
opportunity came to her to go to
Japan as an educational missionary,
she accepted unhesitatingly.

Brinkley explained "at the 7:30
meeting in Gerrard Hall that the

The executive committee of the

After a week in Tokyo, she went to
Nagasaki where the college is locat
ed. She taught English and philosophy
to the girls who were, she said, little
different from American girls, unless
perhaps more eager for an educa
tion. A girl is required to go to school
until she is 18, or, if it is necessary
that she workshe must go to night
school. Boys must go to school until
they are 16, These requirements have
come into existence since Hirohito

fine points, 'she said. He is deeply in

in the United States, she pointed out.
Thursday
r
Navy Balloters
To Fill Three
Campus Posts
Special student elections to be held
Thursday will fill the positions of head
cheerleader, two ROTC representa
tives to the legislature and a V-12 rep
resentative to the Student Council.
Walt Brinkley announces that vot
ing booths will be open in the YMCA
and Kenan dormitories from 9 a.m.
until 5 p.m. on Thursday. Swain Hall
will have booths for voting between
12:30 p.m. and 1:30 p.m. and 6:30
p.m. and 7:30 p.m. When all. the bal
lots have been cast, tabulation will be
gin. Chairman of Elections Walt
Brinkley will direct the counting.
According to Allan Pannill and
Frank Ross, party chairmen, both
University Party and Student Party
have double-endorsed Jack Kirkland
for head cheerleader. Kirkland was
on the cheerleader squad last year.
Pannill announces that George Teb
bel will run on the University Party
ticket for the Honor Council position.
Tebbel has been in naval service three
years and was pre-supply candidate in
V-12.
Tom Wicker and Fred Bauder are
ROTC nominations to fill the vacan
cies in the Legislature. Wicker is
president of Pi Kappa Alpha, a mem
ber of the Interfraternity Council and
literary editor of the Carolina Maga
zine. Bauder is a member of the Or
der of the Grail, has been on the In
terfraternity Council for 2 semesters
and is vice-president of Sigma Alpha j
Epsilon. I
Pannill states that: "The UP
stands on its regular platform of ser
vice to the students. We are convinced
that these boys are the best. I only
hope that each student regardless of
his party affiliation will come and
vote."
Aaron Jaffee is the Student Party
nominee for the Honor Council. He
has been on the campus one year; he
is a member of the Finance Committee
and a member of Legislature since
March.
ROTC's Jack Hester and Irby Todd
oppose Wicker and Bauder for legis
lature. Hester is co-captain of the
track team and a member of the
Monogram Club. Todd has been in
the Navy since shortly after Pearl
Harbor. He was then a Radioman
2-c. He has been in V-12 stationed
here since July 1944.
Student Party Chairman Frank
Ross says: "The Student Party is pre
senting for your- consideration the
men that we considered best qualified
to fill the vacancies which have been
made since the last campus election.
I hope that all students will give the
candidates of both parties your consid
eration before going to the polls on
Thursday. As chairman of the Stu
dent Party I believe that after weigh
ing the qualifications of the men of
both parties you will then cast your
vote for the Student Party men. This

Tracing the courtship of the Japa
nese boy and girl, she said that the
girls look with envy upon the Ameri
can girls' freedom, although Japanese
marriages are more lasting. Even
though the Orient is becoming more
liberal in such matters, there is still
a great deal of formality before a
couple may become engaged. Several
parents send to an available young
man pictures of their daughters.
From a number of these the boy se
lects a favorite. Much of the court
ship that follows is by mail even if
the girl is his next door neighbor.
Chaperones accompany the couple if
they go out. Until their engagement,
they are never alone.
The Japanese girls attribute the
failure of many American marriages
to courtship before marriage; thre
fore, they are often hardly acquainted
with the man they marry, said Mrs.
Ferrell. The boy usually visits his

Lenoir Hall
As University Cafeteria
Infirmary Will Move To Naval Hospital;
Returii To Quarter System Anticipated
By Bob Morrison
It is believed by authorities that the Carolina Pre-Flight School
will begin its exodus from Carolina within several weeks. The of
ficial announcement of the exact date may come from Washington
today. There seems to be little doubt that the entire unit will leave
Chapel Hill before December.
Plans are now underway to open Lenoir Hall to civilians, return
the quarter system, and radically
change the present dormitory housing
system.
"The Seaman V-12 will cease to ex
ist on November 1, when the bulk of
it will be transferred to the NROTC,"
stated Capt. E. E. Hazlett, command
ing officer of the Navy V-12 Unit here.
The NROTC unit will probably absorb
the Marine V-12 in March. The Navy
plans a permanent peacetime unit of
300 students.
It is thought that the Pre-Flight
may vacate the upper quadrangle
within several weeks, and the lower
quadrangle certainly before Decem
ber. The two permanent Pre-Flight
Schools in the nation will be at St.
Mary's and in Iowa.
The administration of the University
has plainly stated that the departure
of the Pre-Flight School will" bring
no hardship to the University. The
present enrollment and new students
will soon fill all facilities vacated by
the Navy. Chancellor, R. B. House
predicts an enrollment of 5,000 in
1946, Dormitories are now badly
crowded; many women students have
been turned away.
New Dorms
William Carmichael, Controller of
the Consolidated University, believes
that the four dormitories which would
be vacant for a short period during
the reconversion would be an excel
lent advertisement to new students
desiring to attend the University.
The deplorable eating conditions ex
isting in Chapel Hill today wiil be
cleared up just as soon as Lenoir Hall
can be reconverted for civilian use.
The -present University Infirmary
will be moved to the Navy Hospital
near the Medical School. Definite
plans have not been made for the pres
ent building in which the infirmary is
housed, but it may be converted into a
dormitory.
It is expected that Smith Dormitory
will be occupied by women students in
the near future. Carr will also be re
tained by women students. At one
time Carr was used by students in the
Law School because of its proximity
to Manning Hall, the law building.
However, Dean R. H. Wettach of the
Law School does not believe that law
students will have need for Carr soon.
It is proposed that Whitehead Dor
mitory, formerly occupied by students
of medicine and public health and now
by the NROTC, will be occupied by
married couples. A number of veter
ans and their wives are expected to
attend the University under the G.I.
Bill of Rights.
NROTC Dorms
It is planned that the NROTC stu
dents will occupy several of the dormi
tories in the upper quadrangle after
release by the Navy Pre-Flight
School. This will leave civilian males
in Battle, Vance, Pettigrew, Old East,
Old West, Steele, and all dormitories
released by Pre-Flight which will not
be occupied by coeds and Navy men.
The future of the Graham Me
morial Cafeteria is still uncertain.
With Lenoif Hall opened to students,
there is some doubt as to the neces
sity of the Graham Memorial Cafe
teria, which is leased and operated
by the University. Harvey White, di
rector of Graham Memorial, stated
that the present financial arrangement
between the Graham Memorial Board
of Directors and the business depart
ment of the University was entirely
satisfactory. In the event that the
University does not see fit to maintain
operation of the cafeteria, the space
will be used for a game room and rec
reational facilities.
Although there will be plenty of
room at Carolina for several months
after the Pre-Flight leaves, the great
volume of new freshmen males and re
turning veterans will cause the dormi

Will Return
IRC To Receive
Applications Of.
New Prospects
The International Relations Club
will receive membership applicants
in the Horace Williams Lounge of
Graham Memorial on Thursday from
4 to 6 p. m. and Friday from 2 to 4
p. m.
The applicants will be interviewed
to ascertain their knowledge of cur
rent events and interest in the ac
tivities of the club. President Gloria
Chapman announced that the ques
tions would be fair and the interest
of the candidate would weigh heavily
in the decision of the body. If a suf
ficient number of qualified applicants
apply, the IRC will fill all the exist
ing vacancies in its ranks.
The IRC is a student discussion or
ganization devoted to ' the promotion
of interest in current events among
the student body. Besides its weekly
discussions the club presents campus
radio forums, faculty panels, and
outside experts in addresses to the
student body.
During the past year the IRC spon
sored a weekly radio discussion over
station WRAL, Raleigh. The club is
in communication with several sta
tions in the attempt to obtain betler
coverage for its program. Many na
tional and international figures have
addressed the University under the
club's sponsorship. Among these
were Jan Massaryk, Joseph H. Ball,
Hu Shih, A. A. Berle, Joseph Grew
and many others, including all of the
important ambassadors to the United
States.
Sororities To Hold
Five More Parties
In Two Afternoons
Continuing their rushing schedules,
each of the five sororities on campus
will be hostess to parties Tuesday
afternoons between the hours of 4

each sorority will have three parties
between the hours of 3 and 6. After
a girl has received invitations to
these parties, she must attend if she
accepts. Acceptance should be in by

Rushing officially began Sunday,
September 16, wth a mass meeting in
Hill Hall of girls expecting to parti
cipate in rushing. Informal rushing
was held Monday, September 10,
through Friday, September 14. A
silent period was observed Saturday
followed by dating parties Sunday
and Monday afternoons from 3 to 6
o'clock.
Following the invitation parties,
another silent period will be observed
Thursday, Friday and Saturday
nights, and rushees will be expected
to attend one invitation party. These
parties will be held from 7 to 9 o'clock.
The climax of the rush schedule
will be the indication party next Sun
day. The acceptance of an invitation
to this party will be an informal in
dication of the rushee's preference
and desire to pledge. Answers to in
vitations must be turned in by 1 p.
m. in the W. G. A. room in Graham
Memorial.
All bids will be given out through
the office of . the Dean of Women. All
girls who have accepted invitations
to an indication party on Sunday must
go to the office of the Dean sometime
between the hours of 9 a. m.and 1:15
