Conducted principally through the Business department, two Esquire rep resentatives are now on the campus to aid in making arrangements. Not the least important about the! contest is that the Carolina gentle man chosen "best-dressed and best groomed' will become infinitely better dressed and groomed ' after receiving the expensive awards of a complete, ultra-stylish wardrobe, donated by the Durham merchants, and a smart gold watch, suitably engraved, presented by Esquire. In addition, the two students win ning second and third place will be given subscriptions to Esquire. Candidates will be chosen by two methods. A3 committee of campus leaders, later to be selected, will choose ten candidates on the basis of consistently well-dressed and well groomed appearance. Fashion plates overlooked in this primary selection may enter the contest by submitting to the Tar Heel business office a pe tition endorsing their candidacy and signed by 25 students. The "winner will not be chosen by Esquire but by a student poll, voting beginning Tuesday. The winning un dergraduate will be announced Friday, January 16, prizes being awarded at the Grail dance Saturday. Not the first University at which a similar contest has ben conducted, Carolina, however, is one of 15 chosen bv Esauire out of. hundreds which ap- plied. The only southern university in the group, Carolina was selected be- . -. 1 . aw 4- WTA cause it is tne most repiescuwn of southern educational institutions.

Music from "the best dance bands in the country will be transmitted from the director's office. This, event is the second in the series sponsored by Cochrane since his inauguration as director of Gra ham Memorial. The first was his very novel "blackout concert" where students listened to transcribed music with the only light being that of the fireplaces. This dance is the newest if not the queerest of "firsts" inaugurated on the campus and due directly to the influence of national defense. The News in Brief - i .im-- - Allied Air Forces Strike As Japanese Gain in Malaya WASHINGTON, Jan. 8 The War Department announced today that Jap anese reinforcements are being brought up, evidently in preparation for an extensive general attack on American troops in the Phillipines. Coolly awaiting the massive Japanese blow, General Douglas MacArthur stated that American and ilipmo7 troops stood ready to meet the attack "with skill and courage.' SINGAPORE, Jan. 8 Supported by heavy-armored units, the Japanese drove back British jungle fighters de fending the road to Singapore m an attack aimed at Kula Lumpur. British Far East headquarters said the retire ment was necessary to preserve a solid front in a sector where the Japanese had effected a local penetration. Coming after a brief lull during which the east and west coasts were bombed ferociously, the new attack is annarentlv in preparation for new at tempts to land troops behind the British lines. RANGOON, Jan.8 Allied air power struck in full force today as Chinese, Australian, and Royal Air Forces were active in counter-blows on all fronts. Leaving huge fires blazing which were visible for miles, the RAF bombed military objectives in Bangkok, capitol of Japanese-occupied Thailand in the first British counter-air attack over the road to Mandalay. Installations were damaged and a seaplane destroyed in a Royal Austral ian Air Force attack upon the J apanese air and naval station on Greenich Island, just above the equator. In one of its rare offensive opera tions, the Chinese Air Force battered fiercely at Japanese troops and supplies in the battle of northern Hunan Pro vince. .

How about that red woolen underwear you Aunt Mattie smuggled into your trunk so you wouldn't freeze this winter?
