Pre-Flight University Students Get Abandoned All aviation cadets at the Carolina Navy Pre-Flight School will be transferred by October 1 and the school will probably be de commissioned October 15, according to statements issued by the University and Navy officials. Dormitories will be returned to Uni- versity students as soon after October 1 as possible. Perhaps Alexander Hall will be retained by the Navy for a few days longer, but there will be little delay in returning all facilities to the University. ' The liquidation of the Carolina Pre Flight School came as welcomed news to the many students who are crowded four or more to a room in the Univer sity dormitories. Administrative lead ers declared that the returned facili ties will beput to immediate use by the badly, crowded University. The Navy consulted . directly with the University. On several occasions the administrative leaders were bet ter informed of the intentions of the Navy Department than were the of ficers of the unit in Chapel Hill. It is estimated that approximately 1,000 of the 1,400 trainees will be sent t Navy Separation Centers for re lease to. inactive duty and civilian life, The remainder who have expressed a desire to continue in the naval avia tion program will be transferred else where for training. The Pre-Flight School came to Caro lina in May, 1942, as the first military unit to appear on the campus; it was followed by the Army Specialized Training Corps, the V-12 Seamen, the V-12 Marine Corps and the NROTC. All of the units other, than Pre-Flight were co-ordinated into the general University schedule. Liquidation of the Pre-Flight School, which is a unit of the Naval Air Primary Training Command, is in line with the general curtailment of the naval aviation program. Only two Pre-Flight Schools will remain permanently in the nation. The option of returning to civilian status in the inactive reserve is being offered avia tion cadets to avoid an immediate ex cess of qualified pilots. Naval Reserve aviators already are being released under reduced critical scores in the Navy demobilization plan, needing on ly 44 points for release compared with 49 required for pther male Reserve officers.- The decommissioning ceremony will be held in October after all cadets have left. At that time the Pre-Flight will formally withdraw all equipment and personnel from the University. How ever, the bulk of the facilities will be returned very soon after October 1. Germans Climax Grid Weekend With Fall Dance Climaxing a big day for Carolina students which includes the game with Georgia Tech, will be the annual fall German club dance to be held Sept. 29 at Woollen gym. Dancing will start at 8:30 and will continue until 12:00. Contrary to reports circulating, the campus that the dance would be can celed and another substituted, Club President Charlie Lamotte stated to day that Jimmy! Fuller has been sign ed to play for the formal affair. Contract difficulties with name bands have been major headaches to Lamotte and his associates. Deals with Sonny Dunham and Shorty Cherock fell through but local talent will capably furnish dancing music. A large turn-out is expected which will usher in the season in a big way. The German club's fraternity repre sentatives are as follows : ATO, Alex Veazey; KA, Tom Abell; DKE, Jack McFall; SAE, Bobby Crawford; Kappa Sig, George Strn; Sigma Nu, Tom Campbell; Beta, Dick Johnson; Zeta Psi, Collins Brown; Sigma Chi, Weyman -Patrick. Club officials are Charlie Lamotte. president: Adam Thorpe, vice-president; Guy Andrews, secretary; and Boots Walker, treas urer. Cadets To Dor Hazlett Announces NR0TC, y-12 Plans Changes ini the- Navy- program at UNC were announced Thursday by Captain E. E. Hazlett, Jr., commanding officer of the V-12 unit here. The NROTC students who are graduated . will go on ; active duty. None will be released except on points. According to Captain Haz lett, so few ROTXJ's have points that this number will be negligible. There will be no new Marine stu dents, but those already here, in cluding graduates, will stay. They will be given eight terms of col lege instead of the four originally scheduled. Supply students due for graduation will leave UNC either to be commissioned as supply officers or to go to further training. Con cerning these changes, Captain Hazlett stated, "The Navy still needs many junior officers and will not release them as soon as was originally believed." Student Pep Rally To Precede Tech Football Contest An all-student pep rally will precede the Carolina-Georgia Tech football game Friday night, September 28, it was announced by Dick Jente, vice- president of the University Club. The rally, which will include a torch-light parade, will be the first of the year to accompany the first big game of the year. Final plans for the rally, which is being sponsored by ' the University Club, have not yet been made. It is known, however, that Head-Coach Snavely will be on hand, as well as Coaches Murphy, Reed, and Quinlan. Chancellor Robert B. House is also ex pected to be present. The definite route for the parade has not been laid, but, "It is expected that the parade will assemble at the YMCA court, proceed past fraternity court, wind down Franklin Street, past the girls' dorms, and wind up at Me morial Hall, Jente said. The parade will be led by the band with the cheerleaders, coaches, and students following. George Washing ton Morris, traditional water-boy, will also be present for the parade and rally. Preceding the parade, participants will assemble in Memorial Hall where the team will be seated on the stage and introduced along with the coaches. Jack Kirkland, recently elected head cheerleader, plans to have all cheer leaders on hand to lead the student body in cheers and yells. Kirkland also plans to teach the Carolina pep songs and cheers to the new students. Several new cheers, in cluding some 'that have been worked cut specially for tne Tech game, will be presented in preparation for the game the next day. " Laurie Hooper, president of the Uni versity ' Club, will act as master of ceremonies. Hooper and Jente urge all students to turn out for the pep rally. Since the rally will be one of the first prominent signs of Carolina's return to a peacetime campus, it is hoped by the sponsors that the peace time spirit will accompany the rally. "Several fraternity house-parties have been planned for the week-end," Hooper commented, "and it should be one of the biggest week-ends since , the war. In accordance with Carolina tradition, everyone should bring a date, especially for the pep-rally." mitones Be Transferred By Tehhel, Hester Bduder Win In Campus Votes : Kirkland Confirmed As Head Cheerleader s : - i :.. J , . . - Walt Brinkly, chairman of the elec tions committee, announced in the stu dent legislature last Thursday night the following election results: For head cheerleader, Jack Kirk land was winner, as his was the only nominations for that office filed. George Tebbel, University party candi date, was selected by the V-12 men to serve on the Student Council, winning by a six-vote margin over his rival, Aaron JafFee, the Student Party's selection. Jack Hester, Student Party man, and Fred Bauder, University Party candidate, are the NROTC mem bers of the student legislature, hav ing gotten the highest number of votes in the race, which included Tow Wic ker and Irby Todd. The election was very close, particularly between Wic ker and Hester where the final vote was 64 to 65. Chief business of the legislature, which meet in a third floor New East geology laboratory because of the lack of light in its regular meeting hall, was a bill sponsored by Marine repre sentative Chuck Heath which called for the investigation by the Student Welfare Board of both the University Laundry Service andthe student Laundry Service and the student athletic fee system. These investiga tions are necessary according to Heath, because of the recent decline in the quality of service rendered by the laundry, and because of the fact that students who do not take physical edu cation pay athletic fees, for the ser vices involved which they do not use. To facilitate the handling of the bill, the group went in to a committee of the whole. Passage was more rapidly achieved by this method which elimi nated the necessity of sending the bill to a committee and waiting a week for it to be reported on. The vote was overwhelmingly in favor of the bill. Pete Pully was elected to the chair manship of the Ways and Means Com mittee which position was left vacant by the vacation of Art Adams. A bill to reorganize the freshman clas was introduced by Jack Lacky. It was referred to committee and will probably reach the floor at next week's meeting. The legislature adjourned after the announcement of the filling of several committee vacancies by Speaker Hunt. Polly Parrot Pleases Pledges With Plenty Profane Patter By Jo Pugh Polly, mascot of the Chi Psi's, has been greeting coeds with "Hi Sugah" ever since Pollock Irwin, class of '26, brought him to the fraternity lodge nineteen years ago. Polly has ac quired a limited, but well-rounded vo cabulary from the frat brothers down through the years. After giving visitors the once-over, she greets them with either "Hi Sugah" or "Go to ," depending on 1 the visitor and Polly's mood. Being of a somewhat jealous nature, the bird dislikes women especially those dressed in red. Polly's own fine feathers are a challenge to any Pari sian designer. The colorful fowl's head is bright yellow and her wings are green, splotched with red, yellow, and blue-purple. Etta Strowd, the Chi Psi cook, has been Polly's guardian since 1928, when the frat dining hall first opened. When the lodge burned in . '29 during the holidays, Polly was luckily at Etta's house, where she stays during Christ mas holidays and vacations. Etta says she feeds the parrbt toast and sunflower " seeds. She told about the time Polly got caught in the storm and would fly into the kitchen drenched. Other times she would get in the but ter dish while Etta would be trying to cook. Once a temperance worker, one of Short Term Is Scheduled To Fill Intervening Time By Bob Morrison The University has re-adopted the quarter system. From Oc tober 30 to December 20 a short term is scheduled to fill the time between the . present . semester system and the winter quarter, which will begin January 3, 1946. Chancellor R. B. House said that the details of the. academic schedule for the short term and the winter1 quarter will be decided at a faculty meeting to be held Sep tember 28. Reveals Change . . . pmMmwMMmmi win DEAN HOUSE1 Frat Rush Layoff Scheduled Today; Resumes Sunday ,. The first day, of rushing is over and prospective pledges are trying to clear their minds while fraternity men are readying themselves for tomorrow's activities. Walt Brinkley, president of the Inter- fraternity Council, has issued another don't for the greek men who are al ready inhibited by a list that long. There will be no rushing on Friday, September, 28. This change was made because of the Tech-UNC game as several fraternities are having parties on that date. The Council thought it unfair to subject the rushees to these parties while other fraternities are not entertaining. At the close of the rushing period the fraternities will sponsor a dance in which all the pledges and their dates will be honored. The entire cam pus is welcome to attend. IFC offi cials have not announced who will See FRAT RUSH, page J. the boys' aunts, was visiting the, house. Everyone was at his best behavior, but when they were showing their fine feathered friend to their visitor, Polly greeted her with, "Go to ." Polly is in very good health, but was a little under the weather last week. A few years ago she was sick enough to have, a special doctor and the advice of many others. Polly always pulls through, despite the weather or cir cumstances. At the Chi Psi house, Polly is the center of attraction. She dislikes a few people, such as the eager brother who tried to give her a bath. He now plays the piano with a 'I limp finger. j ' Polly's life has been an easy one, she lives in a large cage which is usually on the Chi Psi's famous well. Polly's only exercise is wobbling around the yard, because for several years Polly has been unable to fly. The accident happened several years ago.' Polly was umpiring a football game from her perch in a near-by tree, when the foot ball was kicked right to Polly. Knocked off the limb, the parrot suf fered a broken wing. Besides "Hi Sugah," Polly greets passing coeds with "Let's go to the show," "Scratch my head" and not disappointing her parrot friends, "Polly wants a cracker." Etta and the parrot are highlights of the Chi Psi's. October 1 The adopted plan was proposed by a "committee assembled to consider changing back to the quarter system as quickly as possible." The part of the proposal which was accepted un conditionally and announced by Chancellor House and Guy Phillips, Director of the Summer School, is this: October 30, registration for the next short term; October 31, all classes begirTfor short term; Decem ber 15, last day of classes; December 17-18-19-20, examinations for short term; December 21 through January 2, 1946, Christmas recess; January 3, registration for winter quarter; January 4, classwork for winter quar ter begins; March 18, last day of classes for winter quarter; March 19-20-21-22, examinations for winter quarter; March 23, registration for spring quarter; March 24, classwork for spring quarter begins; June 3, last day of classes for Spring quar ter; June 4-5-6r7, examinations for Spring quarter; June 10, commence ment exercises; June 13, registration for first summer term; July 20, first summer term 'ends; July 22, second summer term begins; August 29, second summer term ends. Minimum of Time Mr. Phillips pointed out that the winter and spring quarters are being pushed into a minimum of time be cause of the conversion, and there will be no spring recess. However, the spring recess will be held be tween the winter and spring quarters of future years, as was the custom before the adoption of the semester system. There is speculation that the University in the future will close for Easter and Thanksgiving, as is done in many other institutions. The short term which will imme diately follow the present term will consist of 48 days, counting Satur days. Only full courses, six days a week, will be offered; the short term will represent a half semester. The University will make changes in courses, or waive certain specific requirements if necessary, to allow students to graduate at about the same time they would have if the present semester system had been maintained. This plan affords a chance for vet erans to enter a regular term either in the last of October, or in January, or in March. It also takes care of the summer session in the regular way. Semester Adoption -The semester system was adopted in the summer of 1944, and announced July 8, 1944. The first semester opened November 1, and was followed by a second semester beginning in February, 1945. Following this were two terms, constituting a semester, of which the present term is the last. The next short term will be evaluated in semester hours, but quarter hour evaluation will begin permanently with the winter quarter of 1946. ' The transition of credits will not present the degree of difficulty which might be expected, for one semester hour will be made to equal IY2 quar ter hours. All previous regulations concerning quarter hours will again become valid. In essence, the change will mean gofng back to exactly the same plan in operation for many years at Caro lina before the war. The committee appointed to submit a proposal regarding the return to the quarter system also recommended that all classes be on a five or six hour per week basis, and that all classes consist of 60 minutes, instead of 50. The daily schedule was pro See SHORT TERM, page 4.
