Vet Housing
Difficulties
Partial Solution
Hoped For Shortly
"The University housing commit
tee is working day and night in an
attempt to secure adequate house
keeping units for married veteran
students," Harry Comer, YMCA sec
retary, announced late Thursday.
At present several plans are being
considered for temporary and perma
nent housing. It is hoped that a defi
nite decision can be given early next
week for partial solution of this prob
lem. "However, under present cir
cumstances, with lack of materials,
no definite promise of housekeeping
unit construction can be made, even
after building may have been started,"
Mr. Comer stated.
Survey Made
According to a survey completed
December 6, 235 housekeeping, units
will be needed by February. At the
present time, 36 couples without
children and 31 couples with children
need homes. In January, 121 married
veterans are expected to register for
the first time.. At the beginning of
the law school term in February 13
more veterans will register.
There are now 650 veterans on the
campus, 450 more are expected in
January, and a minimum of 500 in
March. By next fall it is expected!
that the majority of students will be
veterans. Fifty per cent of the pres
ent freshman class is over 25 years
old. Most of these students are vet
erans.
The housing committee emphasized
that living quarters in Whitehead
dormitory and in the old infirmary
are merely temporary. Fourteen mar
ried , couples with children are quar
tered in the infirmary building and
40 couples without children are in
Whitehead dormitory. All xrt - - these
people need new quarters because, of
the lack of cooking and other facili
ties in their present domiciles.

Vance, Duncan Issue
Preliminary Report
On Coed Privileges
Charlie Vance, president of the
student body, and Ruth Duncan,
"president of Woman's Government
make the following statement con
cerning rumors in regard to coed
visiting privileges:
"The rumors that- have been
spreading around the campus re
cently that coed visiting privileges
will be drastically curtailed are un
founded. We do, however, plan to
more rigidly enforce through the
proper agencies the rules and
regulations now in existence.
"We, as Carolina students, have
pledged ourselves to uphold our
standard of honor; we must real
ize the responsibilities we have as
sumed under the Campus Code. Un
less we do this, the privileges we
now enjoy under our present sys
tem of government may be taken
away."

Coed Senate Initiates
Social Conduct Probe
Group Recommends More Stringent Rulings;
Import Restrictions Suggested To Council
By Mary Hill Gaston
Social order and conduct on
come up for close scrutiny from
was brought to the fore Tuesday;
cussed the problem and sent a
the House Privileges Board, the
Women's Interdormitory Council.
Speaker- Lib Schofield opened the
discussion with a brief summary of
the problem and then threw the floor
open to the Senate for discussion.
Fuller Orientation
- The Honor Code and the Campus
Code were brought up first, and it
was the unanimous opinion of the
Senate that both codes should be much
more fully explained during the ori
entation of new coeds. Since these
codes are the basis of all rules, the
senators felt coeds should be thor
oughly familiar with what they are
saying when they sign them in cere
monies conducted by Honor Council
members.
Recommendations from the coed
legislative body to the House. Privi
leges Board were: for more frequent
inspections of fraternity houses, to
be made at any time and with no ad
vance notice whatsoever; for wider
publication of house rules now in ef
fect, to be made in both women's dor
mitories arid in the houses themselves,
so that students may learn the rules
they are responsible for.
! Imports Affected
v.Tb the Interfraternity Council the
Senate recommended that some
change concerning visiting privileges
of imports be made. Some members
of the Senate expressed the opinion
that fraternity houses should .have the
same closing hours for all girls as are
in effect for coeds.
-The-rSen&tewaa unanimous m its
recommendations to the; Women's In
terdormitory Council that frequent
room checks be made after closing
hours There was some discussion along
the lines that such inspections would
seem contrary to the Honor Code and
unnecessary because of this code. But
it was agreed that a minority of coeds
have, taken advantage of the code and
have slipped in or out of the dormi
tory after closing time. Serious pen
alties for coeds coming in obviously
under the influence of alcohol were
also recommended by the Senate

Coeds In Uniforms
Of Foreign Nations
Support WSSF Drive
By Sarah Spratt
As Carolina students entered Le
noir Hall Thursday at noon, they
found the world had decreased right
before their eyes! There were coeds
from Japan, China and Greece!
The tail, darK lireeK girl ap
proached the "eager for food" Tar
Heel. So colorfully was she dressed
that the student did not notice the
tickets she held in her hand. She
wore a lace shawl, a silk skirt, with
fed, purple and green sequins, and a
red and green blouse.
"Could you study if you were
hungry?"
"Well I haven't been real hun
gry," was the answer.
"Then you can't expect students of
18 war-ravaged countries to study
and become leaders of a peaceful
world," the Greek student smiled.
"No I couldn't," he admitted, "but
how can I help?"
"You can contribute to the World
Student Service Fund by taking one
of these tickets. You buy your lunch
as usual. The cashier will double the
price of your meal. Without knowing
it, you have helped the foreign stu
dent eat for two days!"
"Ill be glad to help," the Carolina
student offered, reaching for the
ticket.
Short Of Goal
Thus, the Carolina students "went
-all out" for the special drive for for
eign students during the week of De
cember 2-9. By last night, the goal
of $2,500 for the entire campus still
was not reached. Kay Ferrell, secre-

Wiley Returns
Of Underground OSS Actions
By Marianne Browne
?
A plane circled. Parachutes that
might have been red or blue were it
not for the darkness spiraled toward
the ground. Supplies for the French
underground dropped to the waiting
agents below as the plane turned back
toward Algiers.
This was the work of the OSS, Of
fice of Strategic Services, of which
Dr. W. Lee Wiley, of the University
of North Carolina Romance Language
faculty, was a. member." "
Long classed as top secret, in
stances of the work of the OSS can
now be partly told.
After Dr. Wiley left the faculty in
1942 he was sent to the OSS school
in Washington. There,-he-was taught
the art of secret warfare and the use
of every conceivable weapon. It was
a jod tnat tnugs mignt wen nave
been delegated to do. However, for
such underground work, the moral in
tegrity of a gentleman was necessary.
Men were chosen from all walks
of life men of character and relia
bility. There were army, navy, and
marine officers, .college professors,
newspaper men. This wide group was
trained in picking locks, tapping
House Denies Rumor
Influenza Epidemic
Will Cut Term Short
Chancellor R. B. House states
there is no foundation to the rumor
that school will close early due to
the large number of flu cases among
students, and exams will not be
moved up.
Thursday there were 82 patients .
in the infirmary, according to Dr.
E. McG. Hedgpeth, and the great
majority of these were ill with flu.
Dr. Hedgpeth said there are still
beds in the infirmary to care for
new patients, despite a rumor to
the contrary. Should the number
increase beyond the capacity of the
infirmary, which is unlikely, other
centers of treatment will be made
available.
The number of flu cases began
increasing about two weeks, .ago,
and all physical education classes
were discontinued Tuesday for the
rest of the term.

Daily Tar Heel
To Resume
Next Quarter
March 1 Date Set
As Final Deadline
Possibility of the Tar Heel's return
to a daily basis at the start of next
term vanished Monday when the Pub
lications Union board decided to post
pone such a move until not later than
March 1.
Earlier in the year the board started
work on returning the Tar Heel to a
daily. Initial investigation produced
the possibility that the Tar Heel could
go daily at the first of the year, but
no definite decision was reached by
the board. No, budget proposals on
the daily were presented until last
Monday at which time the board sum
med up the case with a decision for a
later date.
Needs Guarantee
The main reason for delay in pub
lication was the Orange Printshop's
contract proposals which called for
a two year contract on a daily basis.
Mr. William Pugh, manager of Or
ange Printshop, told the board that
fe 7uld e t0, h ome f?a"n
tee for additional printers which he
W0Uld have to hire for the daily pa
per. He said that it was almost an
impossibility to hire a man without at
least a 12 months guarantee of per
manent work.
Mr. Pugh also told the board that
he thought the present staff of the
Tar Heel needed to be better Organ
ized before it could attempt publica
tion of a daily paper.
Bob Morrison, editor of the Tar
Heel, presented a budget for the pro
posed daily as of the first of the year.
The budget outright called for a re
allocation of PU board fees in order
to meet the increased costs brought
about by daily operation. This was
found to be impractical.

Akers Announces
Admittance Rule
Dean Susan Gray Akers announced
today that new students will be ad
mitted to the School of Library Sci
ence of the University in the Spring
as well as the Summer and Fall quar
ters. This is a departure from the usual
custom as new students for the one
year program of this school are or
dinarily admitted only in the Fall and
Summer quarters. .
The new ruling was made primarily
for the benefit of recently discharged
servicemen and also those expecting
discharges soon. These men have
asked to be admitted as soon as pos
sible rather than waiting until the
summer or fall quarter.
Veteran To Return
Dave Duryea,, class of 1945, has
just been discharged from service
and will re-enter school next term. '
He is a member of "St. Anthony Hall.
