Fraternities Commence
Rush Week Tomorrow
Hours For Visiting Substantially Reduced;
Students Receive Bids In Today's Mail
. The formal rushing of over a thousand new students on campus
will commence tomorrow afternoon and will continue during speci
fied hours throughout the week. Not only are the students that
entered the University this term eligible, but also those that en
tered in November.
Since the last issue of the Tar y
Heel, the hours of rushing each day
have been 'substantially reduced in
order to permit rushees and frater
nity men time to devote to their
scholastic studies. The hours tomor
row for rushing will be from 3 p. m.
to 6 p. m. and again from 8 p. m. to
11 p. m. It must be emphasized that
all new men who have received bids
from fraternities arex required to
visit them at any time during, those
hours. The penalty for failure to do
so is ineligibility to join a fraternity
for one year.
On Monday, Wednesday and Thurs
day the rushing hours are from 7 p.
m. to 9:30 p. m., the Interfraternity
Council has announced, and on Tues
day and Friday from 2:30 to 5:30
p. m. The following Sunday, January
27, has been designated as "shake-
up day." During the rushing hours
that day, 3 p. m. to 6 p. m. and 8
p. m. to 11 p. m., the fraternities ask
the rushees they wish to pledge to
join them.
From 11 p. m. on Sunday. January
27, until Wednesday, January 30,
there will be a period of complete
silence.. On Wednesday at 3 p. m. the
rushees will report to Dean Mackie's
office in South Building to state their
choice and to pay the pledging fee
of one dollar. Then they will visit
the fraternity they have'decided upon
and be pledged.
The rules for the conduct, of the
fraternities during rush week as an
nounced by the Interfraternity Coun
cil are as follows:
There will be a complete silence be
tween fraternity members and rush
ees at all times except during rush
ing hours.
The fraternities are not allowed to
serve any refreshments other than
soft drinks, cigarettes, sandwiches,
and cookies to rushees at any time or
at any place during the entire rush
ing period.

Daily Tar Heel
To Start Soon
Pugh Says Feb. 5
Is Possible Date
Return of the Tar Heel to a daily
publication on the campus will be pos
sible much sooner than the March 1
date set last term by the Publications
Union Board, it was indicated yester
day by Fred Flagler, president of the
Board.
The main problem in reconverting
to a daily basis was a shortage of
linotype operators and other printshop
employees but William Pugh, manager
of the Orange Printshop which pub
lishes the paper, stated yesterday that
it may be possible to resume a daily
Tar Heel as early as February 5. A
definite date will be set next week.
Tar Heel Offices
Horace Williams lounge in Graham
Memorial will be turned over to the
Tar Heel in line with the general ex
pansion program. Present plans call
for the editorial -and sports depart
ment to be located in Horace Williams
while the news department will re
main in its present offices.
The agreement between the Publi
cations Union Board and the print
shop is ; that neither will be bound to
hold to a regular contract. Mr. Pugh
said he would publish on a trial basis
subject to suspension if the trial pe
riod is not successful. The trial period
will last approximately two months.
Teletype Service
A contract is being negotiated for
the United Press to provide the Daily
Tar Heel with complete teletype fa
cilities to insure full state, national
and international news coverage. A
teletype machine running from noon
until midnight will be installed in the

Coed Senate Brakes Petition
For New Dorm Construction
Trustee Committee Receives Request
For Two Girls To A Room Regulation
A resolution concerning dormitory conditions to be presented to the visit
ing committee of the University Board of Trustees yesterday afternoon and
decision to hold elections for major women's government offices the last week
in February highlighted the year's first Coed Senate meeting Tuesday night
The Senate voted to ask that only ; "
two girls be housed in each dormi
tory room and that new dormitories
be built as soon as possible. Crowded
conditions making studying and neat
ness next to impossible, in addition
to contributing to an 'increase in the
number of serious illnesses among stu
dents in the past two years, were cited
as the principal reasons behind the
request.
The Senate's resolution was to be
presented to the trustees yesterday
afternoon by the WGA executive cab
inet. ' '
A slate of new election rules grow
ing out of one-vote margins tallied in
coed balloting last month was also
adopted by the Senate. Provision
was made that not more than three
candidates may run for one vacancy
and not more than five for offices to
which two shall be elected. In the lat
ter case each girl elected, must, be at
least five votes ahead of. the lowest
candidate. When more than two girls
are running for the same office, the
winner must be at least five votes
ahead of the runner-up. The Senate
also appropriated money to buy ballot
boxes so that those belonging to the
men's government association will not
have to be borrowed, ih the future.
Another appropriation made was
$300 to the Women's Glee' Club for
music needed for the rest of this year
and for next year.'
Frosh And Sophs Must
Apply For Y-Y Photos
All freshmen and sophomores who
desire to have their pictures in the
1946 Yackety Yack must register in.
the YMCA at the desk in the front
lobby. The registration will be held
for three days only Monday, January
21, through Wednesday, January 23,
from 8 a.m. until 1 p. m.
Due to increased publishing costs
it will be necessary for freshmen
and sophomores to be in group pic
tures. A fee of $1.50 must be paid
upon registration in fhg Y. This fee
was formerly collected by the organ
ized classes, but since no classes are
organized here at the present, it is
necessary for the Yack to collect the
fee.
Wednesday will be the last possible
day to register, as the photographs
will be taken soon thereafter.
Legislature
Takes Action
On Law Bill
Carolina s student legislature at a
busy session Thursday night in Ger
rard Hall, acted upon eight bills and
received new committee appoint
ments from Speaker Douglas Hunt.
Chief interest of the evening was
the request from the law school for
a seat on the student council. Jack
Lackey introduced a substitute reso
lution referring the original request,
as made by Jimmy Wallace, to the
campus constitution committee for
its consideration. Previous to this
the privilege of speaking on this bill
was ' granted to members of the law
school. Bud Coira, president of the
Law Association, spoke at length on
the desirability of- having a law stu
dent on the council.
After further discussion the sub
stitute bill introduced by Lackey was
passed by a vote of 17-12. After the
vote had been taken, Speaker Hunt
took the floor and said that he was
opposed to going back to the old sys
tem of selecting student honor coun
cil members from the class organiza
tions.
A bill to improve the internal ap
pearance and comfort of the YMCA
was introduced by Rowena Dawson. It
was unanimously passed and Pete
Pully and Miss Dawson were appoint
ed , to head a committee to expedite
provisions of the bill.
A substitute to the resolution en
dorsing Roland Parker for the office
of Dean of Students was introduced
by the ways and means committee,
requesting that the committee for
the selection of the Dean of Students
meet with the student members of
the student welfare board concerning
the selection. This resolution w
adopted after little discussion.
Still another resolution, intro
duced by Jimmy Wallace, was passed

Registration
To Be Limited
Next Session
Out-Of -State Men
Not To Be Taken
By Mary Hill Gaston
No applications from out-of-state
residents wishing to enter Carolina
at the opening of either spring, sum
mer or fall quarters are now being
considered by the Admissions Office.
Even with the return of Carr Dormi
tory to men students in June and
with the acceptance of only 125 new
coeds next fall, both moves an
nounced by the office this week, short
age of housing facilities will prevent
taking care of all North Carolinians
who apply.
Counts made in the Admissions Of
fice reveal that over 750 letters con
cerning entrance to the University
were received there the first four
days this week. These letters con
tained either application blanks,
transcripts and records pursuant to
previous applications or inquiries
about entrance. '
To all out-of-state students wish
ing to apply the office is now send
ing letters of refusal. And letters are
also going to North Carolina girls
wishing to come here, telling them
that the Admissions Office has al
ready committed itself to more young
women who live m North Carolina
than the 125 anticipated vacancies
will accommodate.
All former University students now
have priority on dormitory space, ac
cording to another letter, one ad
dressed to all JNorth Carolina men
who apply. Next in line for consid
eration are North Carolina residents
whohave not been to any other col
lege before; then come those wishing
to transfer here, though these are
advised to stay where they are.
It has always been the practice of
the University to consider all appli
cants who have met entrance require
ments and to accept them to the
limit of the housing capacity. But
according to the present rate of re
quests, there should be 300 veterans,
old Carolina students, returning here
in March. There is absolutely no
dormitory space to care for any stu
dents other than these, according to
admissions directors. Included in the
750 letters received this week were

New Classroom
Schedule Set
AU-Night Study Halls
Held For Student Use
Changing a recently-adopted policy
of locking all classroom doors at
night, South Building authorities have
announced that Rooms 106 Bingham
and 202 Peabody will remain open for
student use all night from now on.
Decision to lock the roams has met
with criticism this week from stu
dents accustomed to studying there.
A number of classrooms have been
left open heretofore, but checks have
revealed quite a bit of misuse and
non-cooperation among students occu
pying them, according to J. S. Ben
nett, University supervisor of operations.
Should the two rooms prove inade
quate to take care of the number of
students wishing to use them at night,
more study places will be opened, ac
cording to Mr. Bennett, But if the
designated rooms are found to be un
used, they will be closed. Regular
checks by night watchmen will deter
mine use the rooms are put to.
Chief complaints have been that the
classrooms are left untidy, that lights
are
many students with a "first come,
first served" attitude lock the doors
to keep others out. Since janitors do
not have time to clean the rooms be
fore morning classes, they are left
in a mess all day long.
University authorities are anxious
for students to take advantage of the
school's facilities, but several of them
have stated clearly that they want
neither the buildings nor the use. of
the buildings abused. Students study-
casions. It will be the second appear
ance of Spivak's band on the campus
in recent years.
Tickets are now on sale for the Fri
day afternoon concert to be held in
Memorial Hall and students and fac
ulty members are urged to secure
their tickets now before the seating
capacity of Memorial Hall has been
exhausted. The tickets are priced at
$1 per person and may be obtained
from any German Club representa
tive or at the YMCA.
Both evening dances will be held in
the Tin Can inasmuch as Woollen Gym
will be the scene of the Carolina-Wake
Forest basketball game the night of
Feb. 2, Boots Walker, treasurer of the
club, announced. The Friday night
dance will be formal and the open
dance Saturday night will be semi
formal, Walker added.
Bids for the entire set have been
ordered and will be distributed to
members sometime next week. In ad
dition, each member of the club will
be issued an additional ticket for Sat
urday night's dance which he may sell
to anyone desiring to attend. Price
of the single night's ticket will prob
ably be $4, Walker reported.
