For the fourth time in its colorful career and for the first time in 25 vears the University opens a new academic year in the face of war. Administra tive leaders late yesterdav offered no key to the subject of his address, but indications are that he will develop the theme of the University and the war effort. Last year the alert and farseeing University President called for the abolition of the American neutrality act amid enthusiastic ovations from the student body. , Departing from his prepared speech, he declared, "we cannot be isolated from our heritage and history, from the freedom, democracy and spiritual faith which made us what we are . . . we are not neutral and should repeal the neutrality act." Two months and ten days later Pearl Harbor was in famously attacked by the treacherous Nipponese. With the UnitefiStates now em broiled completely in the conflict and with the University pushing its pro gram of all-out cooperation in educa tion for victory, Graham's address looms as the most significant of his career. . Dr. Graham, an authority on labor problems especially in the South, is at present in Washington serving on the War Labor Board. Carolina's "man with the flying coat tails" will travel by air from Washington 'to Chapel Hill in time to make the address at the gen eral student convocation. Intertown Council Estimates 1,000 Boys Now in Town Eight hundred town boys registered with Intertown council officials Mon day and Tuesday, indicating that 1,000 Carolina men are now living in town, Johnny Snell, council president, said yesterday.

Second district students will meet Monday at 150 East Rosemary street, third district men will convene Tuesday night at 206 Cameron avenue, fourth district students will assemble Wednesday night at 215 Vance street and first districters will meet Thursday night at the Forest theater. All sessions will be at 7 :30. Students living east of the campus are in district 1, those north are in district 2, those west are in district 3 and those south are in district 4. Snell said that 125. students had reg istered from the first district, 250 from the second, 225 from the third and 200 from the fourth. During next week's 45-minute meet ings, Walter Rabb will describe the year's plans of the intramural depart ment and Bert Bennett will explain the town's position in student government.

Speed-Up Plan Combines Courses For Enlistees Guy B. Phillips, coordinator of the local OCD, emphasized yesterday the importance of consulting the special speed-up schedule which enables stu dents in one class to complete two full quarters' work during the fall quarter. The arrangement enables students to take chemistry 31 and 42 as a single course in the fall term. Similar com bining of courses enables completion of commerce 71 and 72 ; mathematics 7 and 8 and other courses in one quar ter. Pre-medical and pre-dental students interested in taking advantage of speed-up courses in chemistry have been asked to see Dr. Knight in Ven able 104. Students in the Army enlisted re serves are urged to consult the special Pre-Induction corps schedule designed to prepare them to enter officers train ing after the fall quarter. Carolina's first two completely co operative housing and eating houses yesterday reported constantly increas ing strength and success. The.University's baby, the Tar Heel co-op at 206 Cameron avenue, under guidance of manager Don Willard, is housing 2p boys for $5 a month and feeding 25 to 28 students for $5.25 a week. Dan Martin's and Maury Kershaw's co-op at 120 Mallett street, first suc cessful house on campus, has tempor arily suspended $5-a-week eating fa cilities for lack of a cook, but 15 are being comfortably housed for $5 a month. Pete Watson is acting manager pending elections to replace Martin, now in the Army Air Corps. Two other University-leased co-ops are now being run, one on Pittsboro street, the other on Rosemary. The North street co-op is now being run di rectly by the University. in The Tar Heel co-op, organized March by Jim Skipper and Johnny Snell, is owned by Coach Robert Fet zer, leased to the University and rented to the 20 students. Willard, hard-working sophomore from Forestville, Conn., will continue to manage the house for the rest of the year. His house is now planning organization of a tag foot ball intramural team. Half the boarders at both co-ops are self-help students. They rotate clean ing and dishwashing jobs, while the managers take care of food purchas ing. At the Tar Heel co-op, students boast that "Rosetta Walker is the best cook in town." The boys in the eight- room house are investigating possibili ties of expanding the kitchen to ac commodate as many as 35 boys. Co-ops found tough sledding during the summer, when a few students had to pay the rent that many formerly did But fall apparently finds both leading co-op houses successful and powerful. Enlistments Decrease Ranks of Old Students Workshop Council Convenes, Prepares Quarterly Programs Quarterly programs of Carolina Workshop exhibits, broadcasts, con tests and discussion sessions were an nounced yesterday by Richard Adler, Workshop council chairman. Council members will meet tomor row afternoon at 4 o'clock in the stu dent union Grail room to complete plans for the organization's first full year project of "coordinating and popu larizing student efforts in the varied art fields."

High School Fire Nets $99,000 Insurance Insurance payments on the fire-torn Chapel Hill high school will be $99,008.41. The settlement was announced after a joint session of the Orange county board of education and the Chapel Hill school board. Insurance carried on the building contents was $102,000. A lxl 1 i , Aimouga payments were large in comparison with an estimated total de struction of $125,000, the money falls far short of the sum needed for con struction of a new school building. Un der priority rulings, only a temporary structure could be .built during war time. Such a structure would cost as much as $30,000. In the insurance payments, the coun ty board allotted $8,000 to be spent im mediately for textbooks, library books and equipment. Two thousand dollars will go into textbooks, $1,500 for li brary books and $4,500 for equipment. Equipment will include 300 desks, 10 tables, 14 teachers' desks, rebuilding 30 typewriters and mimeographs, six lockers, four sewing machines, two stoves and one refrigerator. The $92,008.41 left will be invested, officials stated. At the next meeting October 4, county commissioners will decide the nature of the investment.

On Law-Breaking Student cars will be ordered off the campus under Safety council rule en forcement if drivers continually vio late Chapel Hill laws or fail to prop erly register their autos, H. D. Webb, cquncil president, said yesterday. The five-man council will convene this afternoon to set up machinery for regulations which will eventually deprive' students of their cars if they are reported by Police Chief Sloan for police violations. Webb said that students reported by police will be brought before the council, which will decide whether cars stay or go. Approximately 85 student autos are now on campus. Webb maintained. This number is a sharp drop from last year's, indicating the success of recent council letters asking parents to keep their sons' cars at home. Registration of all student cars must be completed by October 10, Webb said. Application blanks for registration can be secured from Webb at the Phi Gamma Delta house. Cars not registered by that date will be shipped away for the remainder of the quarter. In its enforcement of its powers to send away cars r for legal violations, the council will be given a semi monthly police report of students in volved in law-breaking while driving. Webb predicted that approximately 75 cars will be left on . campus late this quarter. Students needing cars for employment, -physical disability. or long drives from home to campus will be allowed to keep their vehicles. "No definite legislative action will be needed in the restriction of student- autos if drivers, will cooperate with Safety council regulations," Webb emphasized. Letters continue to arrive and news papers continue to print stories con gratulating the Safety council on its recent action for voluntary restriction of the number of student autos on the Carolina campus.

Snyder reported that' bidding for the yearbook is apparently a "wide open" affair. Typewritten applications stat ing editorial qualifications and experi ence are to be in Snyder's hands by tomorrow noon. Letters can be mailed to the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity house. Announcement of the name of the new annual editor will be made by early next week, Snyder said. Cause of the flurry to select a new Yackety Yack editor is the news that Hugh Morton, elected last spring, has enlisted in the Army. Sorority Girls Don Pins For Rushing Maneuvers By Sara Yokeley pate in rush week pay the one-dollar Informal rushing now brings to the fee. Rushees then descend into the three sorority houses, repaying visits and conversation.
