Obstacle Race, Tug of War, Pie Eating Rallies Confront Pajama-Draped Sophomores By Westy Fenhagen An obstacle race, a pie-eating contest and a tug of war were yesterday added to the varied list of wild and woolly activities for "Sophomore Day" tomorrow! The tug of war will feature a "titanic" struggle between the Yankee and Rebel contingents and is expected to settle the Civil War question once and for all, J. G. Carden stated. The losing team will be dragged through a hose of water. Friday afternoon's entertainment willl begin in Emerson field at 3 o'clock sharp, Carden warned, and urged all sophomores "to be present to participate in the revels." Prizes of all sorts will be handed out the winners in the obstacle race and the one who emerges triumphant in the pie eating contest will receive a fresh ly baked pie for his efforts. All sophomores are sincerely urged by the committee members not to for get their pajama-top apparel when they arise tomorrow morning, because it is rumored that a vigilante commit tee composed of Shot Cox, Ray Jor dan, Clay Croom, Jack Hussey and Charley Gordon will be roaming the campus in search of those who have forgotten. Carden pointed out that the latest issue of Esquire is featuring pajama top wear and that within several weeks everyone will be wearing pa jama tops. "There are so many allur ing ways of wearing pa jama tops that See SOPH DAY, page U. Browning Attacks War Nationalism In Philosophy Talk By Burke Shipley "The conflict and crisis Christianity is -facing today is as deep as certain major characteristics of the modern world, among them being national ism," R. W. Browning said in his in formal talk on "Christianity and the Present Crisis," the second in a series of lectures sponsored by the Philoso phy department. Continuing this idea, Browning said that materialism, egoism, and secular ism are other causes of the conflict. He stated, "You can put in or throw out Communism which says religion is the opiate of the people, but you must put in Nazism where national ism, drive for power, and materialism made the religion of men which is fighting Christianity." The Philosophy Department instruc tor said that two of the most impor tant Christian principles were: "the idea of moral sovereignty in the uni verse and the ethics of love." By the first principle, persons have been led to assume that countries, as well as people, if they go gainst the moral order, are punished and those that don't are rewarded, Browning said. However, it is only true in some cases, See BROWNING, page i. Dress Rehearsal 'Peer Gynt' Opens Tomorrow; Norwegian Envoy May A ttend By Nancy Smith Final dress rehearsal for "Peer Gynt," which opens tomorrow night at 8:45, will be held in the Forest theater tonight. Here for the first time all the different phases of the production will be brought together. The rehearsal will be complete with music, lights, gi gantic scenery, and costumes. The Norwegian Ambassador to the United States was invited to attend the Playmaker premiere of the new translation of "Peer Gynt" in a person al letter from Professor Frederick H. Koch, John Parker, Playmaker Busi ness manager, declared yesterday. At the same time Governor J. Melville Broughton and other dignitaries were invited. It was hoped that His Royal High ness Crown Prince Olaf of Norway, Army Reserve Enlistments To Begin Soon Enlistments in the newly-announced Army Enlistment Reserve corps will be made within two weeks, following set ting of a quota for the University by the War Department, Dr. W. D. Perry director of the bureau of military in formation disclosed yesterday. The new Army program, essentially similar to the Navy's V-l program, calls for the voluntary enlistment of male students on a deferred service basis "to insure a future source of qualified officer candidates for the Army." Enlistment in the new program ex empts the student from the Selective service and allows continuance of col lege education. Appropriate quotas for first, second, and third year men will be assigned to the University, after which the enlist ment machinery will be set into opera tion. Enlisted students will be required to take a qualifying educational examina tion at the end of two calendar years of University work. Students who pass the exam will be permitted to continue their college course in an inactive re serve status. Failure of the student to reach the prescribed level on the ex amination will result in the student's being ordered to active duty in an enlisted status at the end of the second calendar year, provided there is no valid reason for deferment. The examination will be the same as given to the Navy V-l enlistees at the end of their second calendar year. Of ficials hint that due to a greater need for officer candidates, the passing level will be lower for the Army men than for the Navy men. Upon graduation, the enlisted men will be commissioned as second lieu tenants. Students especially qualified for nec essary advanced study, research work, or as faculty replacements may be rec ommended by University authorities to continue their studies beyond gradu ation, and upon approval, such stu dents will be continued in the Enlisted Reserve corps in an inactive status. Newswriters Meet Students, with or without experience interested in working on the news staff of the .Daily Tar Heel next year are requested to meet in the news depart ment offices, 206 Graham Memorial, this afternoon at 2:30. would also attend the performance, but word was received Monday that the prince has, left the United States in order to return to his government-in-exile in London. The present version of "Peer Gynt" is a new translation of Hendrik Ibsen's play by Kai Heiberg-Jurgensen, a na tive of Copenhagen, Denmark, and Robert Schenkkan, now in the Army. Ibsen's play was written to be read, not acted, and as a consequence much had to be done to make the play actable. Various scenes and a whole act have been cut out entirely in order "to have a smooth-flowing, active story. Much narration has been deleted and action substituted. As an example of what had to be done, the translators found that the bride never appeared in the wedding scene although it was one of the most important in the play. T. A. Hearn Tracks $5 In Mag Hunt T.A. Hearn, Chapel Hill freshman living at 219 East Rosemary street, found yesterday's $5 bill, hidden in the Graham Memorial-Carolina Mag Treasure Hunt. Taking five minutes to decipher the clue in Orville Campbell's pocket, Hearn pedaled his way to Harry's to find $5. waiting for him. A crowd of 50 students started a near-riot yesterday morning at 10:30 within the Book Exchange when the Daily Tar Heel editor made his en trance with' the Treasure Hunt clue in his pocket. The editor was forced to throw the clue to the crowd and es cape by the rear entrance. Yesterday's clue, .v reading "CUM OTU. JCTTA," was decoded by shift ing two letters (C for A) to read "Ask Mrs. Harry." The $5 prize had been left with Mrs. Harry Macklin of Har ry's Grill. The fourth $5 bill will be hidden to day, Walter Klein, director of the Treasure Hunt, stated last night. Clues to the prize's location will be available at 10:30 this morning. , ' Many students were inconvenienced yesterday in efforts to decipher the second Daily Tar Heel clue, which was jumbled when it was set up in type. Today's and tomorrow's clues are be ing double checked to avoid further er rors. Final award of the Treasure Hunt will be made tomorrow morning. The week of hunting will end Saturday night with the Pirate's Ball, to be staged in Graham Memorial at 8:30. Sugar Rationing Cards Available Again Tomorrow Civilian sugar rationing will again be held tomorrow to give sugar cards to those persons who failed to get theirs at the last ration ses sion, two weeks previously, Mr. M. W. Durham, head of the Sugar Ra tion board announced yesterday. The registration will take place in the Chapel Hill town hall, on the -corner of Columbia and Rosemary streets, beginning at 8:30 in the morning and continuing until 5 o'clock. Students, while at school, will not have any use for their ration books if they do not buy any retail sugar from a store. However, the books will be needed when the student goes home, for without one, his family will not be able to supply him with any sugar. The ration book cannot be used at home if the stu dent is not there to consume the sugar, Durham warned. Gruen Judges Barnes Ad Best An advertisement suggestion sub mitted by W. F. Barnes, Carolina stu dent, in the Gruen Watch company's National Collegiate Advertising con test, was selected by the judges as being the best from this University. As a reward for the excellent prep aration of his advertisement, a photo graph and brief biography of Barnes1 will be included in a booklet prepared by the Gruen Watch company of Cm-! cinnati. Students included in this booklet will be recommended to 1,000 business and industrial leaders as having more than usual talents and abilities, and as being fine prospects' from which to choose employees.

Dr. Stanley Hornbeck Beards Come, Razors Go, Males Rejoice By Sam Whitehall The Graham Memorial-Daily Tar Heel beard growing contest, announced yesterday, evinced sighs, and smiles among the male population yesterday as word flashed from man to man that the bugbear of convention had at last been erased from pre-exam week shav ing schedules. Three times a year the more lusty of the male population defy time-hon ored principles and cache their razors for the week. Others look on with eyes aghast and minds of envy. Now every man can let his whiskers grow their full length and remain with in the bounds of propriety. Not only that, there's profit in the game. Yes terday's announcement of a $7.50 prize for the best beard has been changed to $5.00 for the best and $2.50 for the second best. Noticeable last night along the shop fronts and corridors was the prelude to a week of beards, as the stalwart male of Carolina determined to' flaunt his masculinity and incidentally gar ner the prize. From fuzz to stubble, extra vegetation definitely lent an air of manliness to the landscape last night. The contest will last until Wednes day, the middle of exam week. Bill Cochrane, director of Graham Me morial and Sylvan Meyer, DTH man aging editor, will choose the judges before then. The essence of beardness will be the determining factor in judging the con test. Length, fullness, fend grooming will all be taken into consideration. VA number of males, not hoping to win the contest, but taking advantage of the beardy spirit that pervades, have already sworn off the lather and metal. As one contestant put it : "I'm getting mighty tired of scraping my face with a hunk of sharp tin every day. This is the opportunity I've been waiting for." Though some may have a one day start, contest officials urged that all get into the contest today. "It's not too late for you men of bushy vegeta tion to spring in and cop the prize," one said. Four Men Had an Idea Marley's, Dream Night Club, Opens After Five-Month Toil By George Grotz, III It was almost five months ago that four determined men started working late into every night and all day Sun days on the first floor of a building just about a hundred feet off Franklin street inthe middle of town. They had a dream, and in the last two weeks it has come true. So true that a lot of you have seen the concrete results of that dream. One of them had over a $1,000 worth of power-driven machinery jig saws, circular saws, hand cutters and the like. One of them had the building. One had some capital to invest. And the last thought he'd like to work be hind that curved modern bar. By now you've guessed it. On May 7 Marley's "ever changin" night club opened to make all Chapel Hill wonder what changes were coming over the old place. Rumors had been circulating Famed Expert On Pacific War Views NROTC, To Talk at 8:30 By Walter Klein Dr. Stanley Hornbeck, politi cal adviser to the Secretarv of State, leading expert oh Far East- era affairs and acclaimed offic iallv as nne of the best informed State department staff men on the Pacific war, will address the Uni versity tonight at 8:30 in Me morial hall. vvitn "wny were mgnnng' announced as the subject for his speech, Hornbeck will give the latest official government report on the pro gress of the war in the Pacific, and a factual analysis of America's war purposes.

Dean of Administration Robert House will introduce Dr. Hornbeck, Morgan reported yesterday. A full schedule of dinners, interviews, pri vate discussions and a reception has been arranged by IRC members for the State department adviser's one-day visit. Federal off icials, writing the IRC, described Dr. Hornbeck as their most capable speaker on Far Eastern af fairs. In a textbook used in Univer sity departments "International de lations" by Steiner the author states, "Secretary of State Cordell Hull must rely heavily on advice given by Un dersecretary of State Sumner Welles or by Dr. Stanley Hornbeck, his politi cal adviser." Tonight's address will be the final presentation of the IRC's Victory Se ries of famous delegates from the lead ing United Nations. Previous Victory Series speakers included Hu Shih of China, Castillo of Mexico, Loudon of The Netherlands, Masaryk of Czecho slovakia and Campbell of-Britain.

Interspersed with realistic port-holes, sea murals cover the walls. A curved chromium trimmed bar is at the far end of the room. The seats of the booths are covered with red leather and trim med with chromium. Arid indirect lighting spreads softly over all from 5 o'clock until closing, Mondays ex cepted. - . . But the biggest surprise is yet to come. When summer arrives in all its . shimmering vengeance, over night the decorations will change to an ice-berg and nenenin theme. M. M.
