Failure to answer an Orange County Draft Board call for his physical exam ination on July 23 led to Bracy's arrest in Greensboro on August 6. He was held in $1,000 bail for trial at the Sep tember term of the court. Bracy received an AB degree from the University in 1936.' He specialized in music and was president of Phi Mu Alpha, honorary music fraternity. He completed his work for the MA degree in the summer session, 1939.

M. Broughton has sent the University Press his check for the first copy. Judge Winston has built up a na tional reputation as a biographer, and the news that he was preparing a life of the great champion of liberalism and idealism attracted wide attention even in advance of the book's completion. The University Press has already received a number of inquires from former students and admirers of Dr. Williams. However, "the edition will be limited," according to Representa tive John W. Umstead, Jr., who is in charge of arrangements, and "those wishing copies should let us know at 'once." - Governor Broughton has already See WINSTON, page U A It's All Over Fraternity Rushing Finis Spiked at 10:30 Tonight More Middies Hit Hill 204 Pre-Flight Cadets Arrive Here After a journey from Naval Selec tive boards in New York, Philadelphia, Boston, and from various parts of North Carolina, 204 men arrived here yesterday and began their Naval Pre Flight training. v This group, the tenth to arrive here since the Navy school began, now boosts the enrollment to 1,400, within 475 of the prescribed capacity of the renova ted dormitories and other facilities. Throughout yesterfsyafternoon, new men still dressed in. "civvies" be gan learning the rudiments of, drilling and command. While these men come in every two weeks to expand the number enrolled here, the recently approved million dol lar building program continues to take shape.

Judge Winston AMi0W ' V 1 -s Problem An announcement by the Interfra- ternity council yesterday officially ends the Fraternity hours tonight at 10:30. In order to increase attendance at the football rally tonight a shortened period of rushing hours from 8:30 until 10:30 instead of those previously announced should be observed by all freshmen and Fraternity members. . Faster methods have been necessi tated this year than ever before be cause of the six day rushing period in stead of ten. This has relieved the strain upon academic work by lengthy rushing periods. , - ! Tonight will be the last night that upperclassmen will be able to contact freshmen and due to the shortened hours it is therefore anticipated that iriost fraternities will do their best to convince freshmen to ' pledge ' before 10:30 tonight. A second period of silence will be in store from 10:30 Friday until 2 o' clock Sunday on which day men ex pecting bids from fraternities will in dicate their choice to a member of the faculty committee on fraternities. Freshmenwill be directed to the house of their choice. " After fraternity pledging is over Sunday, all freshmen may come out of their hibernatioiL.and . attend dances and other events given by the Univer sity from which they have been barred during the rushing season. This has been one of the heaviest rushing seasons in the 100 years of , .. , , Greek activity, and the number of new pledges is expected to be unusually large. "Costs of living in fraternity houses must be kept down to the lowest mini mum", said H. D. Webb, chairman of the house managers association.

MOSCOW, Oct. 1 (UP) German shock troops made lunges at the northwest Stalingrad industrial area Thursday and finally made a slight gain in their last attack, the Russian high command announced today as the hour of the battle's decision drew near.

GENERAL MacARTHUR'S HEADQUARTERS, Australia, Oct. 1 (UP) Australian troops pursued Japanese patrols north of the Owen Stanley mountains of New Guinea for the third consecutive day today, and observers believed the invaders would fall back to the area of Menari, roughly 64 miles by trail from Port Moresby, before attempting a come-back.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1 (UP) Members of the House and Senate put various aspects of the war program on the grid today, with demands for "dras tic action" against Vichy France, crit icism of Wendell Willkie's comment on the second front, and charges that the war is being lost because military leaders "haven't the brains to put it over.".

P. Spruill Hill Takes Spruill Post Pro Temp Former Dean Gets Majorship Professor M. A. Hill, Jr., instructor in mathematics, was appointed acting dean of the General College replacing Dean C. P. Spruill who left to assume his post in the Army last Wednesday, it was announced by Dean F. F. Brad shaw. Dean Spruill was commissioned a Major and ordered immediately to re port to Camp Lee, Virginia. During the first World .War, the 43 year old dean saw active duty with the air service and enlisted for the duration of this war. This year marked the 20 anniver saixof . University service for Dean Spruill who was appointed assistant professor in 1922. He is a member of the class of '20 and later made a Rhodes scholar at Oxford, England. Hill was appointed temporary dean to fill the vacancy until a two man board composed of President Frank Graham and Dean R. B. House can de cide on a successor "sometime soon". The mathematics intructor is a veteran adviser of the general college and was responsible for handling the newly organized advanced standing examination program of last year. Mrs. Spruill is staying in Chapel Hill.

Old students will remember the trou ble which resulted last year over this matter. Only a few days ago a $40 overcoat owned by Fish Herring was stolen from the hall. '.......vAW.-.v.v.'.-.-.-.y a C A Book Ex, From Box Start, Hits Big Time at University By Kat Hill and Marion Finck First organized on a wooden box in the middle of the campus, where a group of UNC students came to ex change books at each pre-quarter rush, the Book Exchange has since grown to multi-merchandise propor tions, functioning as a department of the University on equal plane with such prestige-bearing provinces as English and Greek literature. The purpose of the Book Ex is three-fold : to furnish the student body with textbooks and school supplies at the lowest possible prices; to furnish such non-necessities as cigarettes, can dy, and fountain drinks at standard retail prices ; to purchase for the Uni versity such items as office supplies and equipment at dealer's discount. Business done by the Book Ex in a single day is terrific! An average of 1056 milk shakes, 5 to 7 crates of ap ples, eighteen dozen sandwiches, 26 dozen doughnuts, 240 one-half pints of sweet milk, 45 cases of coca-colas, 35 cartons of cigarettes, and an unesti- mable amount of coffee is sold. The doughnuts and milk are usually con sumed to such an extent during the Committee To Submit Changes Next Week xBy Bob Levin Carolina's 150 year old battle for government by the students received another boost yesterday when Wylie Long, chairman of the Legislature ways and means committee, declared that three amendments aimed at widening the scope of the student consti tution due to the ever growing war needs, will be up for legislative vote next week. In a direct move to give more demo cratic voting power to the student body, the committee wrote up a proposed amendment striking out the clause which calls for a favorable majority with at least 50 per cent of the student body voting to nullify any act or sec- tion of an act by referendum. The change as planned by the com mittee will allow students to override legislative action by a "simple ma jority." Amendments to the constitution it self may be passed by the student body with the same "simple ruling" provid ing legislative members first pass the amendments by a two-thirds vote. Changes in Article 1, Representa tion, give each men's dormitory one representative who is to be elected by and from the residents of the dormi tory. An extra representative from the See AMENDMENTS, page 4 Alumni Break Term 31 With New Mag With the mailing of the current Oc- tober number, the "Alumni Review", official publication of the Alumni As sociation, starts its thirty-first year of existence. The magazine is mailed to all dues paying alumni. A 28 page publication, it is published monthly during the nine months of the school year. Runing an active mailing list of more than 3,000, the first issue of this year was mailed Wednesday. This copy is being sent to members in all six con tinents of the world, Iceland, the South Sea Islands, and all 48 states of Ameri ca. A new feature this year, in addition to the regular magazine, is a four page football "special", which is mailed every week. Sports editor of these specials is Jack Saunders, of William ston, a senior at Carolina this year. Dr. David A. Lockmiller, former head of the history department at N. C. State, has recently written a book, "The Consolidation of the University of North Carolina." The book, contain ing 160 pages, complete with appendix and index, is due for publication tomorrow. breakfast hour that stock is gone by ten-thirty. A 1 o'clock milk delivery relieves the shortage. The personnel tries to arrange the food supplies so as to furnish the students, during the breakfast hour, with apples, milk, and sandwiches instead of cokes and crack ers. During an average day 633 checks are cashed for students. The unusually crowded corfclitions there this year result from several causes. The early morning jam is due to the limited eating facilities, but some relief is expected with the open ing of Lenoir Dining Hall. Although this year's enrollment is decreased, a greater amount of money is being spent by the students. Long book lines are caused by two reasons: limited trans portation facilities, the inability to se cure adequate help. The staff appre ciates the courteous attitude of the ma jority of the customers during the rushes. For the first time in its history the fountain personnel is composed entire ly of self-help students. There are six regular employees in the entire organization.
