Frosti Will Receive
Pledge
Rushing Period
Ends With Visits
To Frat Houses
From 2 to 6 o'clock this afternoon,
freshmen will file on the stage of Me
morial hall to receive bids to pledge
the fraternities of their choice. After
designating his selection each first
year man will visit his fraternity
house where he will be given his pledge
button. n '
Today's pledging concludes a ten
day period of rushing which time the
freshmen paid calls on the various
Greek houses to decide which they
would join. After visits were ended
Wednesday evening, a two day period
of silence was invoked, in which to take
iato consideration the advantage of
each house.
As was pointed out in the letters
the prospective fraternity men re
ceived last night, no handshakes or
pledging during rushing is to be con
sidered binding. Each freshman is
free to make his own decisions when
he names his first, second, and third
choices in Memorial hall this after
noon. The silence which began Wednes
day at 9 p.m. will continue for all non-
pledging freshmen until 6 o'clock this
evening. After that hour, the first
year men may communicate with f ra
ternity members without any restric
tions. Any freshman with legitimate
reason to speak-with a Greek man
may do so, if he obtains the consent
of Studie Ficklen, president of the In
terfraternity council.
Pledging period to campus f raterni
ties begins today and continues
trnncrTiont the vear. until April 1.
Initiations will be held after that date.
It is permissable for any fraternity to
pledge any freshman during the course
of the year.
A r f-wnlete list of fraternity pledges
will be published In the" Daily Tar
Heel on Sunday.

Fall Test Slated
On November 25;
Three-Hour Minimum
. The scope of comprehensive exami
nations this year will be - broadened
and; instead of covering merely one
or two courses in the student's major,
it will henceforth test the student's
ability to correlate, integrate and in
terpret the various phases of his field
of concentration, according to an am
mended report made by the compre
hensive sub-committee and adopted
by the faculty committee yesterday.
Changes in the present comprehen
sive system will go into effect today.
"The revisions will discourage cram
ming but will encourage a more dis
criminating view of the field,", the
report said. It was announced that
the comprehensive examinations will
be held November 25.
Only one comprehensive will be
given by a department in each quar
ter and one in the summer session
students taking these examinations

Outstanding Artists Conduct
Dancing Studio
Fitz-Simons Believes Danc
ing Adds Expression
And Dignity To Body
On this campus there is a dance
studio run by two of the best profes
sionals in the field of modern dancing.
Miriam Winslow and Foster Fitz
Simons are here at the University
creating and developing interpretive
dance routines, and have offered their
professional knowledge and ability to
the students through Dean Cornwell
of the physical education department
and Professor Koch of the dramatics
department.
Approximately forty students, men
and women, are taking advantage oi
this little-known class.
PRAISE BARR, DAVIS
When asked how they happened to
make this exceptional offer, Mr. Fitz-
Simons said, "Miss Winslow and I
wanted to keep up the fine work done
here in modern dancing by Mrs. Phoebe
Barr and Mrs. Harry Davis. We
would like to see modern dancing an
integral and legitimate part of the
curriculum.
"Dancing is more than merely a
physical activity," he went on to say,
"it is an emotional and mental one.
Every actor should know how to
dance, and a knowledge of dancing
would help everyone. The average
person doesn't know how to use his
body. It is merely something to carry
around with him. The body can be an
articulate part of the personality, giv
ing it expression and dignity.
"We like to catch dancers young.

New Cafeteria To Be Largest
In Nation; Opens In February
Three Dining: Halls
Expected To Serve
10,000 Meals Daily
The new University cafeteria now
under construction between the dormi
tory quadrangles and the library, will
be opened about the first of Febru
ary, it was disclosed yesterday.
Expecting to serve 10,000 meals
daily, the cafeteria will be the largest
of its kind in the United States.
With a seating capacity of 1,000 the
students will be able to select their
meals from spacious rooms, two of
which will be operated on the caf eteria
basis and the other operatfed as a
luncheonette providing continuous
service from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m.
SOUNDPROOF
The walls acoustically treated ren
dering the building practically sound
proof, the tabletops and trays of a
noiseless material, and efficient ven
tilation will create a pleasant atmo
sphere for eating.
E. F. Cooley, manager of Swain hall
will be in general charge, assisted by
a staff including a trained dietian.
The kitchen will be so equipped that
quantity cooking can- be done without
any loss in quality of food.
The luncheonette seating 240 will
operate as a regular restaurant. It
will have a soda fountain and will re
main open for a short while following
dances to serve the after-dance crowds.
Since much of the student social
activities are centered about food, there
will be offered the regular three-times
a-day meals, food in banquets, dinners,
and parties, now sought off the cam
pus.
Swain hall, the present cafeteria was
a welcomed change in the boarding
facilities at the University. It was
formerly operated as a dinning hall,
but couldn't cope with the increased
student body.
Judge In Hospital
Andrew Mcintosh, judge of the re
corder's court, is receiving treatment
at Watts hospital. A. few weeks ago
he had a foot and ankle removed be
cause of an infection, and his trip
this time is for a routine check-up.
Durine his absence. Assistant Re
corder Clarence Pickard will conduct
court.
At University
Most people have the idea that dancing
is effeminate. In this atmosphere of
liberal open-mindedness at Chapel
Hill people are more receptive and it
is the ideal time to get them interested
There is a need for a school of modern
dance, which could work in conjunc
tion with the departments of physical
education and dramatic art."
WINSLOW-FITZ-SIMONS
Miss Winslow, a native of Boston,
Mass., studied with Denishawn, and in
Europe with Wigman and Harald
Kreutzberg. She had a school of the
modern dance in Boston for ten years
and toured with a group of girls .for
five years.
Mr. Fitz-Simons graduated in drama
at North Carolina in 1934, and then
studied with Denishawn. He was a
member of Ted Shawn's troupe for
four years, until he and Miss Wins
low teamed up in 1938. Last year they
toured the East and New Mexico and
Canada. They plan to tour this win
ter; but will continue the studio.
The women's classes meet on Mon
day and Wednesday from 5 to 6 o'clock;
the men's group meets on Tuesday
and Friday from 5 to 6 o'clock; and
the combined groups meet on Thurs
day from 4 to 6 o'clock. The studio is
in 302 Woollen gymnasium. The dance
class is entirely extra-curricular and
is open to anyone who is genuinely
interested in the modern dance. When
asked if he would mind having more
people come as a result of this article,
Mr. Fitz-Simons said, "The more the
better. Then we can ask for a larger
studio."

Group Says Funds
Should Be Added
To Regular Bills
The student fees committee ap
pointed by Jim Davis, president of
the student body, to investigate
various possibilities concerning finan
cing individual sophomore pictures in
the Yackety-Yack, yesterday recom
mended that the added expense of in
dividial yearbook pictures for the
class come directly from the sopho
mores. The committee "strongly suggested"
that the University collect the extra
amount necessary for the pictures and
add it to the sophomore class fees,
making the change on student bills.
Dean of Students F. F. Bradshaw
will receive the recommendation and
further action will result from his
office.
COMMITTEE APPOINTED
The committee was appointed after
Dean Bradshaw declined to recomend
to the faculty that the University in
crease sophomore class fees in order
to provide individual pictures. Dean
Bradshaw, is was understood, wanted
the committee to investigate some
other possible way of providing pic
tures without increasing the class
fee.
He also questioned whether the
University should collect the addition
al amount, if added.
After Dean Bradshaw's action, sev
eral possible methods of providing the
pictures were investigated by the fee"
committee. Among these possibilities
were that class officers collect the
necessary' amount from students, or
that the Publications Union board re
allocate its funds so as to provide the
pictures without a general class fee.
ALTERNATIVES
The committee yesterday, decided
none of these alternative proposals
was as satisfactory as letting the
University collect an additional fee.
Members of the committee are:
Jack Vincent, chairman; Bill Alex
ander, Truman Hobbs, and Ed Ran
kin. ASU WILL SUPPORT
