Grey Resigns
Yackety-Yack
Managership
Pre-Draf t Course
Curtails Time
Another blow has struck the already
much delayed Yackety-Yack, as Bohn
son Grey, this year's business man
ager, has announced his resignation
from that position.
. Grey, a member of the junior class,
had worked on the business, advertis
ing staffs of the Y-Y for two years.
Last spring he was appointed business
manager of the yearbook by the Publi
cations Union Board. He is a member
of SAE fraternity.
In a statement last night Grey said,
"I cannot put the amount of time on the
job of business manager that is neces
sary, because it is one that requires a
lot of work, throughout the school
year. Since I am taking the pre-in-duction
courses this quarter and do not
know whether I will be here next quar
ter," he continued, "I feel it is neces
sary that I resign." Grey became a
member of the Army Enlisted Reserve
in the early part of the summer and is
subject to call to active duty next
quarter.
All persons interested in the po
sition of business manager should
turn in their applications to Ben
Snyder, president of the PU Board,
at the Phi Gam house immediately.
Monday afternoon, the PU Board
will interview and select a business
manager for the yearbook. All appli
cations have to be in within the next
two days.
At the meeting yesterday the Board
was acquainted with the fact of Grey's
resignation, though no official note has
been given to that body as yet.
The board also referred a petition,
requesting a refund of student fees,
to the Student Legislature, according
to the new constitution. Under the
changed constitution, the Legislature
has been gjven new powers over the
allocation and amount of student fees,
this being the reason of the transfer
of the petition from the-Board to the
Legislature.
The power of designating use of stu
dent fees' surplus is in the Legisla

Cadets Plan Gala Dance
For Coeds Saturday Night
The Navy is turning out in full
some 800 cadets for the first Cadet
Ball of the year Saturday night in
Woollen gymnasium from 8:30 to
11:15. It is requested that all the
girls who have not signed up for
dates today, to come to the door of
the gym unescorted. The girls who
made dates previously with cadets
may come with them.
Any girls who plan to go to soror
ity parties Saturday night, may come
late to the dance unescorted and in
evening dresses.
Girls not registered in the Univer
sity and living in town are urged to
come to provide partners for the large
number of cadets expected. Everyone
is requested to wear name tags which
must be self furnished.
The colored Navy band will supply
the music. The band played in the
Sound and Fury show last week, and
was greatly enjoyed by the student
body as shown by their applause and
shouts for encores.
Any girls who desire to be mar
shals for the dance please contact
Ditzi B,uice immediately. There will
be six officer marshals, six cadet mar
shals, and twelve coed marshals head
ed by Ditzi Buice.
Saturday night's dance will be the
second cadet dance held since . the
school opened in May. Students were
admitted as spectators at the summer
hop but due to the jump in Cadet en
rollment and the return of the cam
pus male population, a joint commit
tee thought it advisable that students
be prohibited from attending the
dance.
This dance is one of the main fea
tures of the giant entertainment pro
gram conducted by the Social De
partment of the Pre-Flight school and
will be held monthly together with
the Wednesday night smokers, free
movies and athletic tournaments.
Frat Rushing Shortened
To 10:30 Curfew Friday
By action of the Interfraternity Council, rushing hours for tomorrow night
have been changed and are scheduled now to last from 8 :30 until 10 :30.
Originally scheduled to last from 7:30 until midnight, the Council at a
meeting yesterday decided to shorten the period in order that everyone might
be able to attend the football rally and so as to ease the strain placed upon
academic work by long rushing hours.
Rushing goes into its fifth night
tonight and has been marked by much
faster methods of rushing than previ
ous years. This has been necessitated
by the new six day rush season instead
of the former ten.
Tomorrow night will be the last
time that upperclassmen will be able
to contact freshmen and due to the
shortened hours,' it is therefore anti
cipated that most fraternities will do
their best to convince freshmen to
pledge tonight.
From 10:30 Friday until 2 o'clock
Sunday, a second period of silence
will be in force and on Sunday men
expecting bids from fraternities will
indicate their choice to a member of

Carr wrote Secretary Saunders today.
"We are expecting another large turn
out this time, and particularly so due
to the date, which falls between the last
World Series game and the Carolina
Fordham football game."

The Tar Heels will make their head
quarters at the Croydon Hotel.

announced a final total of 3,317 students enrolled in the University

Meets Again Today
From 'KP' to 'Big Guns' Theme of Army Talents Exhibit
Soldier Artists
Display Works
In Person Hall
Paintings, watercolors and drawings
ranging in subject matter from a
"chowhound in distress" to a field ar
tillery gun in action will be on ex
hibit in Person Hall Art Gallery begin
ning today.
More than 15 works by 25 artists
will be shown. The artists are pres

Artillery Replacement Training Cen
ter at Fort Bragg.
Also on exhibit will be a display
of artistic works by members of all
the armed forces. These works were
among entries in an art contest spon
sored by a national magazine.
The Fort Bragg Replacement Cen
ter artists did their work after drill
hours, recording the scenes which are
by now commonplace to them but
which, when collected and exhibited,
give the public an excellent picture
of Army life. Many of the artists
are novices; others have painted pro
fessionally for years before entering
the Army.
A large portion of the works, eight
oils and a water, are by Pvt. Karl
Fortess, holder of a Carnegie Interna
tional Honorable Mention. He is a
professional painter from New York
and Woodstock, N. Y. Private For
tess' "Bowley Dam" is a landscape
of an engineering feat by the Replace
ment Center's Service Detachment
a dam built at one end of a lake on
the reservation.
Private Fortess' other subjects in
clude "Old Studio," "Martial Mem
ories," "Gas," "Almost Dusk

"Thoughts on a Mess Hall," "Coal
Yards," and "Bivouac," the last be

Frosh Vote
In November
Student Council
To Take Charge
Freshmen will have their first taste
of college politics in approximately
four weeks, when the ballots start
pouring in for President, Vice Presi
dent,' Secretary and Treasurer of the
Class of '46, Bert Bennett, President
of the Student Council, announced to
day. Open nominations will be held in
chapel under the direction of the Stu
dent Council and Honor Council. A
few days later, after each candidate
has been introduced to the class, and
brief campaign speeches have been
made stating the various platforms,
elections -will be held.
President Bennett stated that there
would probably be two precincts to
handle the heavy flow of votes cast.
One booth will be placed in the "Y"
and the other in Graham Memorial.
The Honor Council and the Student
Council will also select about 15 Fresh
men who will be run for Honor Coun
cil out of which seven will be chosen.
Their function . is to try Freshman
cases. They have no jurisdiction to
punish by suspension or any other
means, but they report their decision
to the Student Council, who pass
final judgment. Vice President of the
Student Council, Steven Peck will pre
side over this council.
The 90 Freshmen who entered the
University this summer will be elig
ible to cast their selections in this
Freshman election and will be classi
fied as regular. Freshmen throughout
the year. The council has issued this
decision on the basis that those who
See FROSH, page U
Administrative heads blame the war
and its concurrent high paying posi
tions as the cause for the heavy drain
on colleges throughout the nation.
Final Dope Tomorrow
Final totals of state distribution,
foreign enrollment, class quotas, and
transfer students will not be compiled
until tomorrow at which time the fig
ure is expected to drop slightly due
to last minute cancellations.
Speculation runs rampant as to
what the eating and housing situa
tions would be at this time if there
had been no registration drop. With
Lenoir dining hall uncompleted and
all available rooms in town and on
campus crowded to capacity, 700 ex
tra students would have added con
fusion to chaos.
Griffin expects the usual winter
quarter drop but no guess can be
made concerning spring quarter to
tals. The possibility of a heavy draft
call are too great to hazard a guess at
this time but it is expected that the
University will lose more students.
Under the new stepped up educa
tion plan, Freshmen may enter the
University four times yearly if the
entrance examinations are passed.
This plan may augment registration
totals to some extent but it can not
be counted on too heavily, it was
stressed. - - - -
RoomingQuagmire
Eases Compilation
Of New Directory
Abnormal rooming conditions have
had at least one beneficial effect, stated
YMCA director, Harry Comer.
By forcing all students to think first
of living quarters, rather than regis
tration, it has greatly facilitated the
collection of information for the Uni
versity Directory of students and fac
ulty members. This has so speeded up
the compilation of the book, that the
Directory will appear on campus three
weeks earlier than usual.
Although this year, there is nothing
like the usual 500 addresses to be hunt
ed down at the last minute, there are
still some men who have not registered.
Comer requested that these Carolinians
either stop in at his office or call 6761
and give him the needed information.
To Sponsor Dance
Graham Memorial will sponsor a
small dance tomorrow night from 9
to 12 o'clock, it was announced yes
terday by Hobart McKeever, Chair
man of the University Social committee.
Band Celebrates 39 Year
At Gamecock Tilt Saturday
r: ART; PROJECT
SOME OF THE 75 WORKS by 25 artists of the Field Artillery Replacement Training Center, Fort Bragg,
shown above are to be exhibited along with a national show of paintings and drawings by members of the
armed forces in Person Hall Art Gallery beginning today. (Photo by Pf c John Soursourian.)
By Jane Cavenaugh
Carolina's blue and white clad band
will take the field Saturday afternoon
at the half period in the Tar Heel
battle against the University of
South Carolina. Led by Drum Ma
jorette Boots Thompson and Drum
Majors Charles Moore and Dick Ben
nett, the 80-piece outfit will bow into
its 39th year of performances.
Earl A. Slocum, director, and the
hard working musicians have been
known as the best friends the ball
team ever had, accompanying it to
"all but the farthest corners of the
earth with rousing cheers and lusty
lungs." Travel will be cut down this
year by the Office of Defense Trans
portation, but full performance will
be held in Kenan Stadium at football
time.
Simple drills will feature the field
shows this year as the band makes
its war sacrifice Fetzer FiehJ drill
ing area now turned over to the
Navy's Pre-Flight cadets.
After the games are over, the band
takes on coeds and goes into concert
work. Members of former years re
member extensive concert tours
throughout the state but no travel
plans have been made for this year.
Slocum plans the usual formal con
certs for winter quarter followed by
the traditional Davie Poplar Concerts
on Sunday afternoons during May. A
commencement program is also plan
ned. As one of the oldest student-run or
ganizations on campus, the band
started in 1903 under the direction of
Charles T. Woollen, then genial comp
troller of the Greater University. L.
B. Sides took over the baton in 1914
to be followed by T. Smith McCorkle
in 1925. Earl A. Slocum, present di
rector, has been with the band since
1933, witnessing its growth from 60
members in that year to a record
breaking 115 of last year.
