Recent UNC Grads
Are Navy Minded
Recent graduates of the University
of North Carolina very definitely are
Navy minded. A compilation just made
by the University Alumni office here
indicates that 75 former students have
been commissioned as ensigns in the
United States Naval Reserve through
V-7 training at midshipmen's schools
in Chicago and New York.
of the construction of the ! munitions
plant. The official called the printing
of these reports "unethical," and sane
tioned the Daily Tar Heel's coverage,
reluctantly admitting that all facts re
vealed were "positive" and "definite."
The hosiery mill and 15 houses in
Carrboro, covering 50 acres, have been
leased for the assembly and loading of
anti-aircraft shells..
Operations will begin in April. The
150 men and women to be employed in
the plant will work on three eight-hour
shifts, keeping the plant open 24 hours
a day.
The president of National Munitions
corporation, J. A. Wigmore, traveled to
Chapel Hill and Carrboro yesterday to
investigate options and deeds on prop
erty at the mill and in surrounding
areas.
"Within a few days" a representative
of the company, perhaps Wigmore, will
arrive to examine the plant for need
ed repair, remodelling and construc
tion. Labor for the plant will be hired
from nearby communities.
Options on all homes have not yet
been taken up. Of the houses now held,
some will be bought and moved to un
occupied locations.
Part of the area bought by the mu
nitions company will be used for load
ing and assembly and another section
will serve as munitions testing grounds.
The hosiery mill deed is ready for
purchase by the New York company

was to become State's star, patted Rose
on the shoulder for fouling McKinney.
But Bobby Gersten brought Carolina
back into the game with a field goal
after he picked up a wild throw at the
3:15 mark of the extra period. Sixteen
seconds later Rose, who played a fine
offensive and defensive game for the
Tar Heels, fouled McKinney again while
the State center was attempting to
shoot. The famed clown was sure on his
first shot, but the second bounced off
the backboard. The score was then tied
30-30. Ball's score followed after at

Explaining the Party's decision to go
ahead with publication choices despite
the fact that official staff nominations
had not been held, Footsy McCombs,
Party chairman declared, "never has
there been a need for more competent
publication men . . . and we feel that
our publication nominations should be
made before the staffs vote, for friend
ships have in the past tended to in

dates. The men we have selected are
the men whom we feel are undoubtedly
the most capable."

unanimous vote, Moore enters the race

Library Expands
War News Center
jTo Large Scale
To maintain greater efficiency and
convenience' in supplying the campus
with the latest information concerning
the present world situation the Univer-
ity Information Center has been moved
bodily to the library's second floor.
Library heads are now busy plan
ning other displays for the vacated
lobby. The show cases in the library
now exhibit data about the first World
War, including a copy of the New York
Times, Daily Tar Heel, and other prom
inent periodicals of the time.
Library heads hope that students will
read the papers on display and will note
marked contrasts with the papers of
today.
Among the many new books added
to the second floor display are "Berlin
Diary" by William L. Shirer and "Peo
ple Under Hitler" by Wallace Deuel.
Numerous additions are planned for the
near future.
More Votes Needed
For Soph Budget
All sophomores who have not as yet

At least 200 more votes must be se
cured so that plans for sophomore ac
tivities in the spring quarter may be
advanced without further delay, Palm
er emphasized.
Beale States
War Doctrines
Nations Must Agree
On Post-War Order
All the nations must agree on post
war doctrines which present a remedy
for the future and not a punishment
for the past if we are to have world
peace, declared Professor H. K. Beale
last night in Gerrard hall at the sixth
and final meeting of this quarter's
series of "Restoring Order" public
meetings sponsored by the Philosophy
department.
In his talk entitled The Future:
World War or World Peace," Profes
sor Ueaie cuscussea principles upon
which a post-war world must be based
in order to prevent the recurrence of a
Versailles peace followed by another
world war. There must be some change
after the war, he emphasized, "Neither
victory, magic, nor acts of Congress
can bring us back to Normalcy."
America must enter negotiations as
a member of the world society and not
purely as a nation looking out for its
own interests. Beale said. . Americans
have their own brand of racial superi
ority in the forms of anti-Semitism and
anti-Negro feeling, he added.
The reason for difficulty between
nations, Beale explained, lies in the fact
that each large nation has the craving
to dominate others, and each smaller
nation wants protection against dom
ination. An international society
should satisfy both these feelings and
have respect for all peoples, he con
cluded. Professor Olsen moderated in
the open forum after the talk.
