All war dens have been authorized to appoint auxiliary policemen to prevent students from leaving the buildings and wan dering about the campus during the raid.

After learning of his appointment, Hobbs said "I will try to keep the Y-Y up to the high standards of the last few years, but I have not formu lated any definite plans as yet.

Hugh Morton, who was in Chapel Hill for a few days before going into the Army, talked over make-up plans of the Y-Y with Hobbs and gave him a few suggestions and 'advice.
