y. WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1941 Correspondence Courses Aid National Defense THE DAILY TAR HEEL PAGE SEVEN Men in Service May Complete Schooling: by Mail , Bj Bob Hoke Inadvertently, the education-by-jnail service of the University of North Carolina Extension Division has become a function furthering the cause of National Defense. Termed officially Correspondence Instruction, it provides the means whereby erstwhile college students now serving Uncle Sam in the var ious branches of the services may complete their education to obtain that coveted diploma. The service, now offering a total of 206 courses ranging on every sub ject from Animal Husbandry to Art Appreciation, is open to everyone in terested. Persons seeking degree cred it must, however, conform to Uni versity entrance requirements. . Spec ial engineering and practical techni cal courses are offered through the facilities of State College in Raleigh as a means toward advancement either in military or civil life. Each course is drawn up and su pervised by an instructor in that special field; all assignments being returned to him for correction and criticism. These specified persons are selected by the heads of the respec tive departments and this selection and the assignments drawn up are subject to the approval of a special committee. "Go-between" agency of the service is the Bureau of Corre spondence Instruction. me muiuLuumuus uisk. ui prink ing the assignments and mailing them out is handled by the Bureau from the educational center hereThe completed assignments are also Phys Ed Rules Made More Stringent Of most significance in the new rules concerning the program of the depart ment of physical education and ath letics is the fact that freshmen and sophomores are required to take either boxing or wrestling and gymnastics in line with the national defense program. Freshmen and sophomores will be divided into 49 sections. When the box ing, wrestling, and gymnastics classes are filled, tag football and track will be offered. Classes will meet Mondays and "Wednesdays, and Tuesdays and Thursdays at 8:30, 9:30, 11 o'clock, 12 o'clock, 2 o'clock, 3 o'clock, and 4 o'clock. In addition to boxing or wrestling and gymnastics freshmen and sophomores are required to take some team activity and two other activities during the year. Juniors and seniors will be divided into 46 sections with a choice of hand ball, tag football, golf, swimming, soc cer, tap dancing, and badminton. This is the first time golf, tap dancing, and badminton have been offered at Caro lina. Hours for these classes will be the same as for freshmen and sophomores. Juniors and seniors are required to take one individual sport and one team sport that they have not taken before. ' .

Atlantic Monthly Picks Tar Heel The Daily Tar Heel was this summer one of ten college newspapers in the nation whose editors were invited to contribute to Atlantic Monthly opinions rep resentative of the outlook of 1941 graduates of their University. Editor Orville Campbell answer ed the request with an article ex pressing determination to uphold American principles of economy and society, optimism toward the Tjurden that he said each graduate would have to shoulder in the per petuation of Christian living. The University's newspaper was the only organ in te South invited to participate in the symposium which appeared in the issue of August, 1941. Bishop Loses Political Tiff With Dan Cupid Peculiar twists of fate brought this couple together. Last winter pretty dark-eyed Pa tricia Clement, Southern organizer for the Student Defenders of Democ racy, an affiliate of the Committee for Defending America by Aiding the Allies, came to the University of North Carolina to organize a student chapter here. She met a strong rebuff immedi ately from Don Bishop, editor of the Daily Tar, Heel, who informed her, politely but firmly that he not only would not give her editorial sup port but would oppose it vigorously. He had been writing non-interventionist editorials condemning war steps and expected to continue to do so, he affirmed. Miss Clement informed him some what testily that she would get along without his editorial support, ana proceeded, with the aid of some oth er students, to organize a chapter of the S. D. D. here. Editor Bishop and Organizer Clem ent were engaged in a hot argument over all-out aid to Britain in the lob by of the Carolina Inn one night when Publicist Bob Madry, of the Univer sity, came up to greet them. "Why don't you two settle this ar gument by lining up with Cupid-r-you'd make a pretty good pair," Mad ry jocularly suggested. Not long after that, her work done, Miss Clement returned to New York, but she 'and Editor Bishop kept in touch with each other through cor respondence. Later Mr. Madry had a letter from Bishop in which the latter an nounced: "We took your suggestion seriously and we are going to be married the announcements are al ready out. We both think you had a fine idea." But first Bishop, who says he is still a non-interventionist, must do a turn with Uncle Sam's army and has alreadv reported at Ft. Bragg. Defi- Though he has not yet completed plans for the year, Curry Jones, head cheerleader, announced that his squad would have nine people, three coeds and six boys and that he was going to make the Cheerio club a more active organi zation than it was last year. "Our aim this year," Jones said, "Is to work through the Cheerio club and organize the student body for cheering that will be different and spectacular." 200 small megaphones for members of the club are already here and Jones plans to make the club a unit around which to build his new cheers. Jones has worked all summer study ing cheerleading and trick yells of uni versities and colleges all over the coun try. He plans something new and dif ferent for each and every game and some new stunt to rouse the students at each pep rally. He has worked out a couple of new cheers and several tumbling and acro batic yells. He is planning to work out a new type of yell with a choral effect. That is, he intends to split up the cheer ing section into several groups and give each section something different to yell, the whole resulting in a unified "work of art." "We've got something to work with J McKaskell was attracted by the ex in that 'good ol' Carolina spirit," Jones cellent sociology department, and Many Claim Pure Intuition Sent Them to Hill Stealing a march on the English professors whose interest in the mat ter of "Why I Came to College" is perennial, we've found out all about the various reasons for being among the freshman ranks. Incentives and purposes run the gamut from ROTC to WC. Pre-college Guidance Director Roy Armstrong js responsible for Buddy Kennerly's migration from Mt. Ulla. Baseball and basketball coaches will be hearing from Buddy. Tampa's gift to Carolina, Dan Bag ley announces that he's here by the grace of God and mammon to slay the women and incidentally do a little work on the business end of the Daily Tar Heel. Twenty college dailies came under Dan's observation before he finally "picked the school with the best one Carolina." "It just runs in the family to come to Carolina," says Landon Lindsay from Winston-Salem who's gracing Ruffin dorm this year, and plans to commute between Chapel Hill and W. C. Our free curriculum which offers a wide choice of subjects drew Bill Allen from Cherryville. The band and Tar and Feathers interest him and he's planning on trying out for both. Greenville has exported Bill Gulley, Hicks Corey, and Robert Lee who've all been Carolina fans from way back. Bill's interested in photo graphy, and has leanings toward the Playmakers and Sound and Fury. Corey has a record of two successful years as business manager of his high school paper, and hopes to con tinue working along that line here. Lee's going cultural with the musical and dramatics departments. Grayson Bishop is down from Washington, D. C, to enlist in ROTC and study business administration. World conditions have something to do with his decision, and the recommen dation of his uncle, who is Assistant Chief of Coordination and a Lieuten ant Colonel m tne army, gave our ROTC unit the nod. The coed camp has some promising recruits this year too. Mary Jane Frosh Eager For NROTC Over 100 New Men Take Examinations of Examinations hare been made more than one hundred freshmen in terested in the ROTC training, Captain Haggart, head of the local unit, an nounced yesterday. "We will not be sure exactly how many boys we will have from the fresh man ranks until we have learned the plans of the rising sophomore class concerning their re-entrance," he said; "however, we expect to take in a suffi cient number of new boys to complete the maximum quota of 188." Curriculum offered in the Woollen gym classrooms will cover only profes sional subjects, excluding the various since she didn't come here to get married anyway. Roberta Dortch comes from Little Rock, Arkansas, via Ward-Belmont to major in music, and thinks this is the best University in the South. The glowing accounts of the fun to be had around Chapel Hill drew Edna Ward O'Hare and Bettie Creighton from Fort Bragg but they aren't all froth, Bettie plans to major in Latin, taking time out for dramatics and sports, while Edna is tackling chemis try, softening the blow with tennis, horseback riding, and swimming. Peggy Froggat came to Carolina on allied subjects. The frcshmans pro gram will be completed through tha general college subjects which will al low him to take a degree in any field in theUniversity, a!ong with the train ing which will give him a commission as ensign in the reserves when com pleted, Haggart explained. "Boys enrolled in the four-year course are not subject to draft while those in the one- or two-year courses are eligible or not according to the dis cretion of local draft boards,'he stated. "Any one in the division is subject to call for active service at any timeduj ing the present-day emergency condi tions." The copb jmore class spent three weeks this summer on a synthetic 'cruise' at the Charleston Navy Yard. Ordinarily they would have shipped aboard a man of war, but circumstances ! would not "warrant the reservation of a ship for their use. Classes will begin outdoor drills in Emerson Field within the next day or two, and indoor ses sions will be held in the portion of Lenoir dining hall reserved as an armory. Grill Closed Temporarily Graham Memorial Director Richard "Fish" Worley announced the tem porary closing of the basement grill. The reason is that last year's man ager of the grill was unable to return to that position this year. "Just as? soon as we get a new manager we the recommendation of Duke friends, will open again," Worley said. said. "We .want to work to keep up their interest so that they'll be behind the team every minute of the game, win or lose." N. Y.
