Pep Ra 'y Dr. Frank Welcomes The University welcomes the new the life, traditions, work and comradeship of this campus and community. You come with the New Year to a selves for the making of a new world. the winning- of the war against the in modern times. Hundreds of you that this University and all the democratic and spiritual institutions of the people can now continue to advance the frontiers of freedom, knowledge and humane service to all mankind. The years just ahead, through all of you and the hosts of youth who refuse to yield to despair in many lands are to be dedicated to the winning of the now crucial struggle for food and freedom, justice and peace in the world. The critical turn of affairs and hopes in our own country and the desper ate juncture of desolation, hunger and opportunities in the wide world call for the best which the youth of America has to give. To fail to discipline the will to work, to waste body and mind, substance and spirit, is to betray the freedom purchased with blood. It heroic dead. When you do well your and library, carry your part of the uphold the standards of honor in the tions, respect the sacredness of your spect for the rights, opinions, and differences of other human beings, and learn to cooperate in work, play, and aspirations, you are preparing for that better part in the making of a nobler It is in our welcome to you and in our faith in you in these times, critical with the cruel sufferings and dauntless hopes of men, women, and children in many desolate lands, that you, the privileged youth of fortunate America, will seize the hours here for hard work, through study, and all-around de velopment of body, mind, and spirit, so that you 'will play a creatively co operative part in making a better University, a nobler America, and a world a little happier for all people. And So Does Your Student Body Head On behalf of the student body I want to welcome all new students to the University of North Carolina. Those of you who are entering college for the first time, I want to congratulate on your choice of Carolina. How well some of us remember when we arrived here as freshmen how strange and unfamiliar everything seemed, but that feeling soon passes. We want you to realize that you are one of us, and that you are just as much a part of the University as any oppeelassmen Afier you've stayed in Chapel Hill just a little while, I am sure that you will feel as I do now that you couldn't have chosen a better place to spend the next few years. Those of you who are transferring from some other college or university we are especially appre ciative of the honor of your selection. We hope that you will not hesitate to take part in our many campus activities, and to join in Carolina's spirit of friendliness and cooperation. To those of you we proudly call. "Carolina's returning veterans," I can't say in words how glad we are to have you back. I hope you will find Caro lina the same wonderful place you have dreamed about all of those past months. I wonder if being away from Carolina for a long time has made you appreciate all the more the many privileges and freedoms we enjoy here. I want all of you to realize that the one thing that makes possible these many privileges is our form of government student government. People do not like to be regimented, and most people think that the ideal form of government is self-government. We come nearer to this ideal in our student government at Carolina than at any place I know. ,v Just before Christmas, our President, Dr. Frank Graham, boldly defended the freedoms which we enjoy as Carolina students. He explained what is meant by University freedom, and he stated that the freedom of the Uni versity does not mean the approval of ungentlemanly conduct or dishonesty of any sort. We must realize that with freedom comes responsibility, and we students shoulder a greater responsibility because of the greater amount of freedom we are allowed. Now is the time for all of us to renew our pledges to the Honor System and the Campus Code. Under the Honor System, eveiy stu dent is on his honor not to cheat, lie, or steal, and to report any student he sees cheating, lying, or stealing. Under the Campus Code every man is bound by his responsibility as a gentleman to conduct himself as a gentleman at all times, and to see to it, in so far as appropriate, that his" fellow students do likewise. Because of the great responsibility invested in each individual student, we have no monitors, no proctors, no police system of any sort. Stu dents themselves must act spontaneously upon honor violations and report such violations to the Student Council. Some students still come to the University with the childish notion that they will be tattle taleing or breaking faith with the gang if they report any one. We must help them realize that almost every Carolina sudent has signed a pledge in support of the Honor System and the Campus Code, and that they See WELCOME, page 4. Coed Carroll Cone Feted In Orange Bowl Activities The biggest thrill experienced by Carroll Cone, senior psychology major, during her Christmas holi days was a parade before 300,000 spectators preceding the Orange Bowl classic in Miami.

For Lenoir Tonight Early Tabulations Show New Enrollment of 3800 900 New Veterans Increase Total To 1500; Civilian Mark Doubled By Mary Hill Gaston" Approximately 900 new veterans registering Thursday at Woollen Gymnasium swelled Carolina's enrollment this term to a near pre-war peak level, according to unofficial South Building estimates. Though no official count of the enrollment has been compiled as yet, indications are that there are 3700 to 3900 stu dents now on campus. , fr 7C Housing Setup Solution Due Very Shortly Priority Expected On New Materials Pre-fabricated housing units ex pected to be released by the govern ment in the very near future will probably be the answer to Carolina's housing problem, according to a state ment from Chancellor Robert B. House "The situation looks hopeful," says Chancellor House. Top University and state officials are working to get the government houses here at the earliest possible date. General shortage of building ma terials makes it impossible to erect new housing any time in the near fu ture, but the government has promised priority on pre-fabricated units to state institutions. Houses to be put up here would come from outside Portsmouth, Vir ginia, where they have been used by defense workers. Chancellor House says these are four-room houses on good foundations, with kitchen re frigeration and overall insulation. They could house both married vet erans and their wives or groups of men students. All available space in dormitories has been filled. Nash and Eaton Halls, built as Army barracks in 1943 to house Pre-Meteorology A.S.T.P. stu dente but unused for a number of terms, are both now filled with men. Graduate Student Fatally Injured In Cab Collision Funeral services were held yester day afternoon for Miss Mary Sue Caldwell, graduate student who died at Duke hospital Saturday morning from injuries sustained Friday after noon when the bicycle she was rid ing collided with a Carolina cab. Miss Caldwell was riding her bi cycle out from the medical building when the accident occurred. The taxi driver, John L. Kirkland, is under bond to appear before Recorder's Court January 22. Miss Caldwell was born in Wil mington and lived in Petersburg and Richmond, Va. She is a graduate of Mary Baldwin College. She was working here on her master's degree. Surviving are her parents, Rev. Dan T. Caldwell and Mrs. Caldwell of Richmond, and one brother. University Student Dies In Sleep Sunday Sid Appel, junior in the Univer sity from Miami Beach, Florida, died in his sleep early yesterday morning. Dr. E. McG. Hedgpeth, University physician, stated that the cause of death was undeter mined. Fraternity brothers talked with Appel as late as midnight Sunday night and said that he ap peared to be in perfectly good health at that time. Appel was majoring in account ing and was a member of Tap Ep silon Phi fraternity. f kome guesses range as high as 4,000. Peak enrollment at Carolina was 4,098, during the fall quarter of 1940. Increase Of Vets Incoming veterans account for by far the greater part of the quarter's new registrants and bring the total number of ex-servicemen here up to approximately 1500. At the end of last term there were 667 veterans on campus. Dormitories Full The number of students admitted this term has been determined by ca pacity of the dormitories, according to the Admissions Office. Every room in men's dorms has been filled, with three men put in almost all of them and four in the rooms in Battle, Vance and Pettigrew. Quite a number of students showed up for registration Thursday without having previously been accepted by the Admissions Office, and many of these had to be turned away due to lack of facilities to house them. Military To Remain Advance registration indicated that the civilian enrollment for the new term would be the largest in five years. Navy and Marine enrollment at the end of the past session was 420, and it was expected that all these military students would remain here through out the winter quarter. Civilian enrollment this term is al most double that listed for the September-October term of 1945, when 1,961 civilians , and 512 V-12's were registered. The enrollment jumped to 3,040 at the beginning of the six week term just past, when civilians numbered 2,591 and military students 449. Over 800 new students, including approximately 400 veterans, registered last term. The November registration brought the number of veterans here to 640, and a number of late-comers swelled the numbers even more. Prior to the beginning of the 1945-46 school year there were little more than 100 vet erans enrolled here. No Record Set General opinion in South Building is that enrollment this term has not gone beyond the 4,098 peak reached in 1940, but with a hopeful outlook on the housing situatiqn now in evidence, speculation is that Carolina will go far beyond this level in succeeding terms. The opening of this quarter, the first such term since the University's decision to return to the quarter sys tem, indicates that Carolina is swift ly returning to its pre-war status. Enrollment now is, at any rate, a far cry from that of the spring of 1944, when wartime registration hit the bottom with only 1,501 civilian stu dents. Council Report Charlie Vance, President of the Stu dent Body, announced that two stu dents have been placed on three months probation for talking during an examination. The students were accused of cheating but thi3 was not confirmed. Yack Staff Meeting Yackety Yack staff members are asked to attend an important staff meeting in the Roland Parker lounge of Graham Memorial next Thursday afternoon at 2:15. Students wishing to assist in the publication of the yearbook who have not attended pre vious staff meetings are also invited to the Thursday meeting.
