Speakers For
Coming Year
The Council for Eeligion in Life has
outlined a program for the coming
year which will present several out
standing religious and lay leaders in
discussions and meetings designed to
coordinate the moral, social and reli
gious concerns of University students.
The CEIL is an organization com
posed of representatives from all sec
ular and non-secular groups on the
campus. Membership and voting pow
er is granted only to these represen
tatives, but all students are invited to
attend the sessions. A program to
stir up student interest in the organi
zation is in progress. Topics for dis
cussion will place emphasis on affairs
of current interest, such as the topic
for the meeting at 6 p.m. today: "The
Place of Eeligion on the North" Caro
lina Campus."
.The group hopes . to . encourage
through the various organizations on
campus and through the faculty that
there is a kind of religious program
which can become basic and vital in
the life of the campus. There is the
expectation that through this pro
gram the opening of new ' religious
courses will be encouraged and a new
building dedicated to religious pur
poses will be opened.
' One of the main motives of the
coming program is to discover just
what the average Carolina student
considers right and wrong. The rela
tion between religious interest and
personal and social values can and
must be vitalized, the group believes.
The following schedule of topics
and speakers has been announced:
"The Place of Christian Ethics in the
World," Kenneth Foreman of David
son College, October 7; "Eeligion and
Education," Edwin McNeill Poteat of
Colgate-Rochester October 28 ; "Eeli
gion and Labor," Kermit Eby of the
CIO, December 1 or 8 ; "Eeligion and
Eace," Aiken Smart of Emory Univer
sity, January 20; "Eeligion and Eural
Life," Monsignor L. L. Ligutti of
Catholic Eural Life Conference, March
10. .. ' ;'; '
The last- two talks of the season,
"Eeligion and Science" and "Eeligion
and History," are scheduled for April
and May respectively, but the speak
ers have not yet been secured.
The CEIL welcomes all those inter
ested in its program to their first
meeting of this session tonight at 6
o'clock in one of the back dining rooms
of the Carolina Inn, where dinner will
be served.

Graduate School
Sets New Rules
On Course Credits
In agreement with the practice 4 of
many institutions of the country; the
Graduate School of the University of
North 'Carolina has placed time limits
upon the period within which course
credits may be accepted in fulfillment
of requirements for graduate degrees
This regulation is stated in the cat
alogue of the Graduate School as fol
lows : "Work taken more than six
years before the date at i? which the
master's degree is expected ' may not
be used to count for credit toward that
degree ; and work taken more than ten
years before the ' Ph.D. "degree is ex
pected may not be counted for credit
toward that degree." ri ; '
The time ' limit" trith reference to
the Ph.D. degree was adopted in 1926
and that 3 with -reference to the mas
ter's4 degree in 1930. The University
of North Carolina was a signatory in
stitution in the adoption of Standard
12, "Work taken more than six years
before the date at which the master's
degree is expected may not be used to
count for credit toward that degree,"
adopted in 1935 by the Conference of
Deans of Southern Graduate Schools.
This limitation is reported to be op
erative in twenty-four southern insti
tutions i In, 1942 the Graduate School adopted
a resolution to the effect that students
whose candidacy for graduate degrees
w as interrupted by service in the
armed forces of the United States
should not have the period of that ser
vice counted in the computation of the
time limit within which credits ar
usable with reference to requirements
for their degrees. This was essentially
an act of justice, and it was adopted
unanimously.
At the time of the adoption of this
resolution it was anticipated thai
many persons not members of the
armed forces might render essential
services to the war effort and thai
they too might merit the same treat
ment. The performance of such serv
ices has been the occasion of consid
eration by the Administrative Board
of the Graduate School. This board
has taken notice of many types of war
work and has found t difficult to
adopt a definition of essential services
in this period of what has been called
total war which would be sufficiently
comprehensive. Many students, the
board is convinced, have with motives
of patriotism interrupted the progress
of their programs of study in order to
contribute- their services to the war
effort. In consideration of many pe
titions and of the difficulty or even
impossibility of making distinctions in
appraising these services, the Admin
istrative Board in its meeting of Sep
tember 10, 1945, adopted the follow
ing resolution :
"1. Students registered prior to De
cember 1, 1941, and not later enrolled
during the course of the war should
not have the period from December
7, 1941, to September 1, 1945, included
in the computation of the maximum
time limit allowed for the fulfillment
of degree requirements.
"2. Students who were duly regis
tered after December 7, 1941, and who
were for a period of time enrolled for
course credit should only have the time
of actual residence within the period
December 7, 1941-September 1, 1945,
counted in the computation of time
limits for their degrees."
The board adopted the further reso
lution that "all students affected by
the foregoing legislation should be held
responsible in final written and oral
examinations for developments in bib
liography and in subject matter oc
curring during the interval between
the time when the course was taken
and the examinations. Examining
committees will be requested to report
on the fulfillment of this responsibil
ity. All members of the board reaffirmed
their endorsement of the practice and
principle of setting time limits for the
fulfillment of requirements for grad
uate degrees. It was felt, however,
that the modifications of the present
regulations were equitable by reason
of the extraordinary circumstances oc
casioned by war.

The Navy hospital, pictured above, will -be, the new siteofjj
the University infirmary as soon as the reconversion to a
peacetime campus is sufficiently advanced, administration of
ficials have announced. The present infirmary, located on
Columbia Street, will probably become a dormitory.
Men's Glee Club
Begins Rehearsals
For Coming Year
With 92 men enrolled, the Men's
Glee Club lias' begun rehearsals for
its" yearly engagements, according to
Professor Paul Young, director. "
Tryouts for the group were con
cluded last week, with the biggest
turnout recorded in years, Mr. Young
declared. Enrollment is now closed
for second tenors and baritones, but
first tenors arid second basses are still
needed. '
First publie appearance of the sing
ers will be at the Founder's Day serv
ices on October 12, when they will sing
the traditional "Integer Vitae." Fur
ther concerts during the year at vari
ous women's colleges are being planned
for presentation as soon as prepara
tion of music and scheduling will al
low. Commenting on the outlook for the
year Mr. Young said, "The talent
which showed up for tryouts looks
good. There are many talented and
well trained singers."
NAVY
(Continued from page two)
have spent more than one-sixth of
their lives in the service, are en
titled to get back to a fairly normal
way of life quicklyl Many of them
already are finding it a tough grind
to begin their business and profes
sional careers as late as 25 and 26
of his adult years.
To give an example of some very
recent and undemocratic censor
ship in the Navy, we would like to
refer to Mr. Pearson again. He is
reporting an incident that occurred
at the Banana River Naval Air Sta
tion, Florida. The station paper,
"Banana Peelings," conducted a
survey in which Navy men were
asked what they thought of the
discharge system. There were many
gripes.
"Shortly after 'Banana Peelings'
hit the streets, Commanding Of
ficer W: J. Slattery, a regular Navy
captain, cracked down. He ordered
every copy of the newspaper con
fiscated and burned. Only a few of
them survived, one of which reached
this office."
After hearing of such outrages
we KNOW there is justification for
the opinion that the so-called brass
hats are jealous of their lush war
time positions. If millions of men
are discharged, they will have to
revert to their old roles of lieuten
ant and commander. What a shame!
The war is over so we are told.
We are living in a democracy so
we are told. Let's remind Congress
and ourselves of both these facts
before our young men are sacri
ficed on the altar of senility just
to satisfy the ambitious climbing
of our Navy Gold Braid.
Number Of Frosh
Past Expectations
. The number of freshmen register
ing at the University this term far
exceeds the number estimated by the
Office of Admissions. Expecting only
175, they found themselves giving
placement tests to 277. 1
On the basis of a survey made t)f
all freshmen and sophomores, the
majority of them expect to continue
in November. Because of the com
paratively small staff here during
the summer session," only 96 are
starting Freshman English now, al
though 133 are continuing from the
first term. All the rest will take it
starting in November.

big show which is planned to be pro

Dramatic experience is not needed
to become active in Sound and Fury
since it is strictly an amateur theatri
cal organization with an emphasis on
the lighter side of the footlights. Any
one who would like to try singing,
dancing, acting or curtain-pulling is
urgently needed. President Stoker is
particularly anxious . to find some
would-be Fred Astairswho might be
hiding about campus, so any two
stepping Carolina gentlemen, along
with all other tap and toe people,
should come to the meeting Thursday
night. Sound and Fury plans to havej
a big season and wants everyone ten
come and take a part to make it a
success. .
SHORT TERM
(Continued from first page)
posed to be somewhat like this: 8:30
to 9:30, 9:40 to 10:40, 10:50 to 11:50,
12:00 to 1:00, 1:00 to 2:00, and 2:10
to 3:10.
Laboratory courses would run from
1:00 to 4:00, or from 1:00 to 3:00,
or. from 2:00 to 4:00. Such a daily
schedule would have to be approved
by the faculty, however,. and the plan
was submitted purely as a sugges
tion. Although the plan would make
all classes 10 minutes longer and
might reduce the 1:00 rush for lunch,
it . is uncertain that the faculty will
give its approval.
Adopted Last Year
The semester program was adopt
ed last year to co-ordinate the civil
ian and Navy programs on the cam
pus. Before the semester system, the
University was operating two sched
ules at the same time, thus decreas
ing the general efficiency.
The professional schools were not
placed on the semester system, be
cause the Navy did not require a
semester system there as in the
undergraduate work.
Another advantage of the semester
system at the time it was adopted
was that students would have greater
freedom to select favorite instruc
tors. For many years Carolina stu
dents have enjoyed the privilege of
selecting their own teachers; this
privilege is thought to be very whole
some by both the students and the
administration.
At first there was some doubt that
the administration could return to
the quarter system without the con
sent of the faculty, but it was later
pointed out that the faculty had au
thorized the administration in the
summer of 1944 to return to the quar
ter system as soon as practical. The
semester system was meant to be a
purely emergency measure.
Sergeant Charles Afflick of the
'Army Air Forces is visiting on cam
pus. Sergeant Afflick attended Caro
lina in 1943. He will be a guest of
the Phi Pelts until October first.
Ben Townsend, who served in the
Pacific' as a captain in the Army Air
Forces, is visiting the Beta Theta
Pi's. He attended Carolina in 1940.

Parties Climax
Two Weeks Of
Coed Rushing
Indication parties to be given Sun
day by the five campus sororities will
climax two momentous weeks for the
rushees. The incessant whirl of in
formal visits, silence periods and dat
ing and invitation parties by them will
have narrowed the choices of the can
didates to one sorority. Acceptance
of an invitation to one of these parties
is the indication of a rushee's prefer
ence and is binding on the sorority
which issues the invitation.
After the dating parties last Sun
day and Monday, the sororities limited
their prospective pledges in a series of
invitation parties held Tuesday and
Wednesday afternoons. The rushees
increased their acquaintances with the
different sororities through novel and
appropriate entertainment. The AD
Pi's presented a historical review of
their sorority t in the various dress of
former AD Pi girls. At the Alpha
Gam house the guests gathered on deck
for a ship party. The Chi Omega
sorority reviewed the fashions at a
perfume party. For the rushees, the
Tri Delts modeled the current coed
styles. Creating a night club effect,
the Pi Beta Phi's presented to the
visitors their perfume bar.
Two final invitation parties, one
Friday and one Saturday night from
7 to 9 o'clock, give the sororities fur
ther opportunity to diminish the large
number of rushees. Ijiyitations to
these parties were received" Thurs
day, and formal replies were required
by Thursday night.
