C WEDNESDAY, MARCH 25, 1942 Editorial : ; New: 45S1; Sight: NUMBER 125 mm Dorm Workers Strike Against Town Cleaners Students Claim Price Increases Cause Hardships By Charlie Kessler The Association of Dormitory Man agers voted Monday night to strike against the Chapel Hill Cleaners As sociation and pending mediation will neither collect nor send clothes to any Chapel Hill cleaner from any Univer sity dormitory. Charging that the new rise in clean ing prices has caused undue hardships on dorm managers and that this rise had not had sufficient justification, the managers have sent to every clean ing establishment in Chapel Hill a list of their grievances and a substitute plan of action. In an effort to mediate a meeting of the two organizations will be held tonight. Grievances Under the new system, instituted by the Cleaners Association on March 16 all free cleaning formerly given to each dormitory manager for the ser vices he rendered has been discon tinued. Increases averaging 15 per cent were taken by all the cleaners, and the managers' profits were re duced approximately 10 per cent. These three moves, the managers assert, gives them very? little return and makes the handling of cleaning and pressing unprofitable. Ralph Hodges, manager of Steele dormitory, stated yesterday, "We must spend a great deal of. time getting cleaning from the various rooms, keep separate books, keep the money collect ed separate from the rest, and try to give good, efficient service. It wouldn't be so bad if they had talked to us about the increase in prices and the cut in See DORM MANAGERS, page U Wisebram Lists New Appointments Of CVTC Officers Appointments to officers' positions in the Carolina Volunteer Training Corps were announced yesterday af ternoon by Henry Wisebram, cadet captain and adjutant, to begin the new spring quarter military training tomorrow.

Estimates Indicate Possibly Tripled SummerEnrollment Questionnaire Returns Reveal Probable Increase in Fall Term By Bob Hoke ' Revealing an estimated regular students attendance in summer school of three times normal enrollment, final tabulations and sta tistics from the questionnaire sent to students last quarter were re leased by Dean of Students F. F. Bradshaw yesterday. The questionnaires seeking to uncover a more accurate and com plete tabulation of curriculum : - " Classrooms To Be Opened For Late Study Arrangement Made To Ease Problem Of Crowded Dorms In an effort to alleviate the numer ous problems arising from the pres ent dormitory evacuation, Roland Parker, assistant dean of students, announced yesterday that all regular classrooms- -will open to student groups for study purposes beginning tonight. Classrooms will be open from 7 until 12 o'clock with all maintenance preparations under the direction of P. T. Burch, assistant business mana ger. Janitors will check all buildings at midnight so that no "nocturnal chores" will be left to tired students. Result of Dorm Shift This move came as a direct result of the recent dormitory shifting which has forced students to triple up in rooms and crowd studying conditions. Parker said that "conduct rules will be left up to the students" and that officials will judge the appreciation for this move by the attitude shown at night. Smoking will be allowed un til further notice. These night sessions will continue until the close of the spring quarter but will be continued throughout the summer sessions if conditions still warrant such action.

The par ticular times and days were picked in order to obtain as large as possible returns. Increase in Fall "There are no indications of a drop in enrollment in the fall; and there are some indications of a possible increase,1 Dean Bradshaw stated after a study of the statistics on probable return of students in the fall. Student and ad ministrative leaders had predicted a large' drop in enrollment at the begin ning of the fall quarter in view of the wartime emergency. The tabula tion revealed that 2,250 students would return to the University from the pres ent enrollment. On the basis of the past quarter, , only 2,017 students should be expected. No estimate could be obtained on pos- sible enrollment of freshmen and trans fers. Of the 3,773 now in school, 2,749 students answered the questionaire, in dicating a very high return and giving a firm basis for estimates. The statistics showed that 1,113 stu dents now in school planned to attend the first session of the summer school and 842 planned to attend in the second term; three times as many as is normal ly expected. Academic leaders have expected this large enrollment and have planned to carry over regular session activities into the summer terms. There were indications that life would con tinue in the summer here at the uni versity in much the same way as in the winter as the University moved to a 12-month footing in its all-out war effort. In addition, the tabulation showed that as large an enrollment could be expected for this spring quarter as was had in the winter quarter. Satterfield, Hatch Orchestras to Play For Grail-Sponsored Dance in Tin Can Labeled the "first coordinate effort war effort," an All-Out Ball will be held Friday night in a move to stimulate the sale of defense stamps on the campus.

Curry Jones Jones Drops From Race As SP Nominee Vice-Presidential -Nominee Withdraws Due to Heavy Load Curry Jones unexpectedly withdrew from the vice-presidential race yester day explaining that a full-time science major would make it virtually impos sible for him to participate in any ex tra-curricular activities, or do justice to more than one job. His resignation threw a new light on the race for the 'top student gov ernment posts as Student Party heads, informed " of the " withdrawal, made plans to nominate another candidate within the next day, but failed to in dicate possible nominees. Jones, explaining his position, said that as a chemistry major, "and in view of the pressing world scene," he found it necessary to concentrate on academ ic work. Similarly he revealed that he was giving up his post as assistant manager of Aycock dorm and automa tically had finished terms with the University Club and as head of the Cheerleading squad. Jones expressed his.

The "admission price will be 50c for boys and girls each with 40c of the admis sion price returned to each person in the form of defense stamps already fixed in a stamp book. ' . The campus orchestras of Johnny Satterfield and Hurst Hatch have do nated their services to the cause and will play alternately during the period. It was announced that Bill Cochrane, impresario of Graham Memorial, would be the Master of Ceremonies. The orchestras have given up pre viously made engagements in order to play for the dance, on a bare cost basis. Student doormen and student operators of the cold drink and coat concessions have offered their services -on a gratis basis for the non-profit dance. Grail leaders stated that the dance was the beginning of a canvass through dormitory stores, the Book Exchange, and town merchants to sell stamps. The books that will be provided with the stamps that are the refunds to the students will provide and incentive and convenient place to collect the stamps, student leaders stated. Johnny Satterfield's orchestra, well known campus band has gained atten tion throughout North Carolina and nearby states for its "negroid" style of playing swing tunes. Hurst Hatch, rotund drummer, took over Rowland Kennedy's Carolinians when the bandleader left at the end of the Spring quarter to enter the armed forces." 5 "' I Free Czech Leader, Noted Foreign Minister Directs Sabotage System Co-leader of Czechoslovakia's Underground sabotage system Jan Masaryk will arrive in Chapel Hill for an IRC Victory Series address Tuesday night. ovrmciri- in T.rmf?i tttqc! cirmofl ternational Relations club program chairman and a native Czech.

Phenomenal CVTC Progresses Steadily To Form Large Department By Hayden Carruth forces. Fledglings enter the ranks at "Academic training is not of itself the opening of every quarter, and im- sufficient to make a soldier," said Lieut. General Ben Lear, commanding the second Army, in a recent interview, Recognizing this fact, a group of Carolina students took aggressive ac- tion after Pearl Harbor fell, and the Carolina Volunteer Training Corps en- tered campus life at the opening of the winter quarter. Unsteadily at first, the young organization grew in numbers, knowledge, and confidence, until today it embarks on its second quarter rank- ing equally beside the tradition-bear- ing departments of humanities, science, and arts. . ' Carolina Militia Encompassing eleven departments and 350 students in all, the CVTC now offers credit courses in advance mili- tary science and elementary drill.

Directs Sabotage Tuesday's speaker came to the United States October 13 to carry his gov-ernment-in-exile's policy to America. With Dr. Eduard Benes, Czechoslo vakia's president, Masaryk leads the daily radio barrage from London to the Czechs. In these broadcasts, dreaded by Nazi propagandists, Masaryk and Benes directed Czechoslovaks working in Nazified war factories to pull new and serious sabotage tricks in their work. Huge slow-downs in work, especially at the Krupp munitions plant, were recently admitted by Berlin. Benes and Masaryk told workers that a subtle slow-down by each worker would add up to serious under-production. La borers followed orders, are causing con tinual production tie-ups, and can suf fer no punishment.

Totten, who left for active duty at Camp Blanding, Florida, during the , spring vacation. Dr. Totten worked as one of the original organizers of the unit, and his unfailing coorsration throughout the last quarter was an "outstanding factor" in stablizing CVTC activities. Dr. Totten will be replaced by Dr. S. T. Emory, member of the University geology department and lieutenant in World War I. Other members of the faculty that have dropped from the rolls are: J. E.
