Administration Reshuffled;
Bradshaw Off Active Duty;
Parker, Stacy Get New Posts
By Bob Hoke
Administrative staff changes
the raising in rank of several South building officials were an
nounced yesterday by Dean of Administration Robert B. House.
Released from active duty as Dean of Students, Francis F. Brad
shaw has been placed in charge of arrangements for courses on
war studies as a possible War Studies school, unique on the Caro-
$400 Debate
Scholarship
Established
Dean of Administration Robert
House yesterday approved a Debate
council proposal to set up a $400 de
bate scholarship series.
The George McFarland McKie schol
arship, divided into four $100 gifts,
will be given to the freshman, rising
sophomore, rising junior and rising
senior who have contributed most to
debating during the year.
First awards probably will be an
nounced this month, according to Car
rington Gretter, Debate council presi
dent. Gretter reported that the funds for
the annual gift will be taken from a.
surplus accumulated for three years,
after the discontinuance of the Ox
ford debates.
Faculty members of the council will
nominate candidates for the scholar
ship and the University's standing
committee on scholarships will select
the final winners. This procedure,
sanctioned by the administration, will
prevent a "vote-yourself-a-scholar-ship"
movement within the council.
Selection of winners will be made on
the basis of good citizenship, good
scholarship, good debating and need.
The University scholarship commit
tee's final decisions, Gretter said, will
be based on candidates' need for the
money.
Under discussion in" the council for
six months- the bill to begin the McKie
scholarship was finally passed three
weeks ago. Dean House's approval puts
the fund into immediate effect.
"Fifty-one cents is given by every
student to the Debate council each
year," Gretter stated. The McKie schol
arship will now give every student an
opportunity to profit by his contribu
tion.
"The money for the scholarship may
come either from incoming money or
from residual funds. At any rate, this
enterprise will be of no extra cost to
anyone."
"The Debate council started this
scholarship because of the-existing
surplus, to secure better debating ma
terial for Carolina and to fulfill the

advises us and it seems necessary, fur
ther announcements will be made on
war courses," House indicated.
Bradshaw will retain his title as
Dean of Students and as chairman of
the student welfare committee.
Two new offices were created : Dean
of Men and Dean of Women, with the
simultaneous appointment of .Roland
B. Parker and Mrs. M. H. Stacy for
the new positions. Parker formerly

Students while Mrs. Stacy served as
Adviser to Women.

enrollment has tripled in the last three
years and has been on a constant up
grade since the first woman student
was admitted in 1919.

Bloody Senior-Junior

Time for the contest will be announced
next week.
Bloodshed will begin at 5 o'clock on
coed ield No. 1, with Don Wilson and
Ellis Freeman, neutral sophomores, as
umpires for the men's contest. The
challengers will wear white golf caps
and green shirts, while the juniors
wlil bear the long-visored railroad engineer-type
caps and yellow shirts. "I
only hope," Gambill sneered, "that the
green is not a symbol of the brand of
ball that the seniors will play, because
at best they hardly have a 50-50
chance."
A hot contest is expected when the
senior coeds face the juniors. Fans,
who will be seated in temporary bleach
ers erected especially for the old soft-
ball rivalry, are requested to keep their
cat-calls, whistlers, and Bronx cheers
at a minimum because of the extreme
nervousness of some of the coed per
formers.
Coming near the end of senior week,
the softball contest is only one of a
myriad of entertainment features open
ing with an 11 o'clock movie donated to
seniors by E. Carrington Smith and
closing with a formal dance played
by Red Norvo and orchestra Saturday
night.

."You have got to give the reader what he wants to read, and in times like
these even the high school newspaper must carry features and articles on the
war," Fred C. Kendrick, director of the South Carolina Scholastic Press as-,
sociation, declared last night in Gerrard hall at the opening of the sixth an
nual North Carolina Scholastic Press Institute.
' Speaking on "Enlivening the high school paper" before an audience of "125
young journalists from 26 high schools &
throughout the state, Kendrick said
"the best way to enliven the paper
is to make it goodlooking.
"A person will pick up and read a
paper if it has an attractive appear
ance even if the writing may not be
so good.", j

'Fifth Column
OnltsWayOut'
"We have definite information of
sabotage, espionage, and subversive ac
tivity on the part of the enemy in the
United States and are taking swift
steps to stamp it out," E. P. Coffey,
chief of the FBI's scientific crime de
tection bureau in Washington, told a
large audience last night at the last of
a series of six lectures on crime being
held in the Graham Memorial Student
union under the auspices of the Insti
tute of Government.
Questioned as to what role the av
erage citizen should play in an effort
to curb subversive activity, Coffey as
serted that "the average citizen can
best serve his country in the fight
against fifth columnists by reporting
with every speed and incident of sabo
tage and espionage to the nearest of
fice of the FBI. The nearest office
for North Carolinians, he noted, would
be Charlotte.
' The speaker warned against person
al investigation on the part of a private
citizen. "If you see something suspic
ious, do not try to investigate your
self or you may upset the apple cart.

Most pertinent question of the mim-

tion of whether the student is enlisted
in any branch of service. Returns on
this will give the first indication of the
number of students enlisted in any of

the army and navy.
The dean of students office circu-
lated a housing and curriculum ques-
tionnaire late in the winter quarter
which gave the startling estimate of
more students to be enrolled in next
fall quarter than in the fall quarter of
1941.
Officials intimate that the service
questionnaire to be distributed next
week will change estimates resulting
from the last questionnaire.

UNC Meets Crisis
In Stadium Show
By Hayden Carruth
The full text of Dr. Frank Gra- '
ham's address is published on page
four.
"In this hour upon which turns
the hopes for freedom, justice
and peace in the world, Carolina
meets the challenge!"
Dr. Frank Graham, who on the
night of this war's most historic
sea battle, flew from Washington
to deliver his annual address to
the students last night at the
"Carolina Meets the Challenge"
pageant, concluded his speech
with these words.
"For this freedom we gather here
tonight in a critical hour. As we look
across the seas we see Americans and
Allied ships going down in waters
far and near. As we look down the cen
turies and back to this, the world's
darkest hour, we see centuries' old
charters of human liberty torn and
trampled under the ruthless heels of
dictators. As we look around the earth
today we see freedom and democracy,
lately the goal of modern nations, now
renounced or crushed in almost half
the world. As we look inside the totali
tarian nations we see subjected the
most precious institutions of human
freedom, the church, the parliament,
the corporation, the press, the radio,
the university, and the labor union high '
on the list in its once vital democratic
meaning to the freedom and security
of the millions who now in servile sub
jection dp the work of the totalitarian
states."
Dr. Graham spoke immediately af
ter the presentation of awards," a cere
mony that feted outstanding students
of the year, and "impressed upon them
their future duty to the world and so
ciety." y.
Richard Railey was awarded the
Bingham Medal for debating. Robert
