C, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1942 Business and Circulation: 8641 NUMBER 14 Tar Heels Seek Opponent University a Parade To Begin At 5:20 Hammond Urges Student Support In order to give Carolina's football team a rousing send-off to New York city where they meet the Fordham Rams in one of the nation's leading in tersectional clashes Saturday, a pep rally will be held this afternoon at ap proximately 5:30 in front of Swain hall, it was officially announced yes terday. The University club will sponsor the monster sendoff which begins with a parade. The parade will form in front of Battle-Vance-Pettigrew dormitory and march up Franklin street, turn left at the square, and march down South Columbia, stopping at Swain hall where the rally will be held. The par ade, which will start at 5:20, will be headed by the University band, the cheerleaders, and members of the Uni versity club. Cheerleaders will take over at Swain and lead the student body in cheers for the members of the team, who will leave around 5:45. The squad will travel to Durham by automobile where they will board a train for. New York City. It is urged by Denny Hammond, University club president that every student in the University attend the rally if it is at all possible. Ham mond said, "The Tar Heels have won their first two games of the season and these victories have been helped along by the all-out Carolina spirit. Al though we can't go with our team to New York, let's come out to the rally and show them that we're pulling for them 100 per cent at home." Mrs. Stacy Plans Weekend Dates For Coeds, Cadets An "all-out for cadets" week-end in which all girls who have made no fur ther plans are asked to date cadets this Saturday night and Sunday afternoon was announced by Dean of Women Mrs. M. H. Stacy yesterday. The purpose of this plan is three fold, Mrs. Stacy indicated: first, to bet ter acquaint girls and cadets, second, to relieve the dormitories of the hosts of men in uniform coming in wanting blind dates, and third, to give cadets an opportunity to enjoy their spare time. All girls are given the opportunity to get slips of paper from house mothers on which they are to write their name, height, and what they like to do most in their spare time. These cards will be sent to Naval Headquar ters where dates will be arranged. Coeds will be called by their dates before Saturday night so that there will be no confusion of arranging blind dates in the dormitories . at the last minute. Mrs. Stacy urges that girls cooperate : in this plan to entertain the men in service. The entertainment plan is sponsored by the local USO center lo cated at the Methodist church. Candy Prizes to Be Awarded At Friday's Fall Frolics Music for the dance will be fur nished by Johnny Satterfield's campus band. The7 orchestra features the mel low blues trombone of Bub Montgom ery, leader, and sweet vocals by Anne Russell. Jimmy Hancock does the blues and scat songs. Also a feature of the band's per formance will be the return of Bob Saunders, lead trumpet man, to the fold. Bob was recognized several years ago by John Hammond, noted swing critic, as being the best lead trumpet man on campus. Last year he played several jobs with Teddy Powell while that leader was in -this vicinity. He turned down the offer of a steady job with Powell, electing to finish school. All students who are interested in .handling the concession at .the dance are urged to come by the student gov ernment room at Graham Memorial before 10 o'clock tonight. Ciu ; lassan Hits UN.C Scraps 200,000 Pounds in Ten Days; Scrap Collectors to Get Theatre Tickets Sipith Gives Pass ' For 25 Pounds Cooperating with the fast growing salvage drive, E. Carrington Smith, manager of the theatres here, an nounced yesterday that all students contributing 25 pounds of scrap to the salvage campaign would receive a pass to a show. This pass he added will be good any time. Proper action for the student who has the scrap collected is to turn it in to one of the committee officials who will give him a statement certi fying donation of the scrap. The stu dent will then come to the offices of the Daily Tar Heel and secure the pass. Statistics gathered late yesterday evening showed the poundage of scrap collected steadily mounting and brought comment from fraternity com mittee chairman Floyd Cohoon that "the drive seems to be going over." The urgent need of all scrap, however, was stressed in a meeting of campus committee chairman Bob Spence and other committee members at the in formation center located in the Daily Tar Heel offices. Spence said, "The campus must realize the needs of war 'now and get prepared to meet them. The greatest way in which to show patriotism is to give scrap to the drive." Scrap Load Found " As an indicative factor in the ris ing tempo of the drive, reports came in yesterday of a whole load of scrap located at the Delta Sigma Pi house. A truck was promptly sent to bring in the material and within the space of 15 minutes, Carolina's scrap pile was swelled 200 per cent. "If every student will give all the metals, old clothes and paper not usable, to the drive, said dormitory chairman Jack Jarvis, the total amount of scrap col lected will be enormous." "We must remember," Jarvis said, "that all the proceeds from the sale of scrap will be turned into war bonds after the deduction of expenses. These war bonds will become a part of the student welfare fund, to be used to aid needy students. By contributing to the drive, the student not only helps the country win the war, but at the same time he aids in sending some one to school that would otherwise be deprived." "Chapel Hill," Betty Sterchi, coed committee chairman said, "is only a cog in a vast nation-wide machine that is now devoting its energies to wards gathering scrap. Other com munities are doing a good job, and you can be sure that we will too." In the scrap salvage campaign the Daily Tar Heel is cooperating in a gigantic nation-wide effort on the part of the country's newspapers to get at all the available scrap metal before it is too late. The Tar Heel office is serv ing to direct the effort on the campus. In an effort to get as many people at Fall Frolics as soon as possible Friday night, Hobart McKeever, chairman of the Social committee, announced yes terday that a box of candy would be given to each of the first ten couples who meet him at the bandstand in Woollen gym. The dance begins at 8 : 30 and lasts 'til midnight. The dance, being put oik by the Social committee and financed by the Student Entertainment committee, is the first of a series of six which will be sponsored by the latter group throughout the year. Admission is free to all students upon presentation of their identification cards at the door. The dance will be semi-formal. According to McKeever, "This means that girls will wear even ing dresses. Boys will wear coats and ties and of course, shirts, pants and shoes. Socks are strictly optional."

Dance Rules Clarified Students Taught UDC Functions Members of the University dance committee will continue for the next few days to acquaint the student body with rules and regulations pertaining to all dances given at the University, Tom Baden, committee chairman, an nounced last night.

Juniors and Seniors Must Get Pictures Juniors and seniors must have their class pictures taken for the Yackety Yack by the end of this week, Editor Hunt Hobbs stated. Photographers are open 8-12 and 1-5. The cooperation of every student will be necessary if the annual is to appear this year. The cutting of copper allotments to the annual's engravers makes an early -completion of the class sections imperative. R eveals Egypt's Sacrifices Janitors Begin Thorough Search "During the past 10 days the Uni versity has contributed over 200,000 pounds of scrap metal to the current salvage drive plus quantities of essen tial non-metals," said L. B. Rogerson, assistant comptroller of the Univer sity, yesterday. - In order to swell the University scrap drive to bigger proportions, all departments will be notified today to have their janitors begin gathering all non-usable scrap metal in the build ings. Where the metal is of great weight, a truck will pick it up. The University not only has been carrying on a scrap tlrive of its own, but was responsible for building the bin on Cameron avenue opposite the Old Well. The cooperation that University of ficials are giving will be a major fac tor in the final weight tabulations of the scrap metal for Chapel Hill and vicinity. , Realizing the now acute shortage of metals for the manufacture of arma ment, and wishing to have North Caro lina give all the help possible, Governor Broughton recently directed an appeal to all state-owned institutions to rally to the scrap campaign. All dormitory managers . are urged to aid the drive by conducting a thorough search in the buildings for long useless metal objects. "Students living in town have a. good opportunity to locate and collect metal, old tires and paper products of all kinds," Larry Berluti, chairman of the town scrap committee, said yesterday. Objects already collected in the bin should give the student an idea as to what kind of material is wanted. By the afternoon of the first day, the bot tom of the bin was littered with such things as metal lamp bases, a. worn out seal that formerly belonged to a notary, lamp cords, and discarded parts of a bicycle. "The student in terest shown in the drive coupled with that of colleges throughout the state and nation," Berluti said, "should in sure a successful scrap campaign." The nation's goal is 6,000,000 pounds. 1 Dramatic Group Discusses Role In, War Effort "How can the Carolina Dramatic Association serve the nation in war time?

"We had no army, no material of war. And this was no fault of ours. The fact is that obstacles raised in the past stood in the way of maintain ing and equipping an Egyptian army." Hassan branded "the unquenchable spirit of imperialism" as the cause of both world wars. "What America is fighting for is 'freedom, not empires.' "1882 is the date of the British oc cupation, of Egypt. The English said they came to help solve some of our domestic problems. We thought they were paying us a weekend visit. But it seems that the British liked . our hospitality. ..." The Egyptian minister plenipoten tiary dodged asserting his feelings about the India crisis by revealing that the IRC was bringing the Indian agent general to Chapel Hill for its next address. "I'll leave it up to him to report on India." With one statement, however, Has san expressed his general view which the audience immediately seized as his indignation over Egypt's and India's empire status: "I unhesitatingly rec ommend that all nations which have attained political maturity should be granted freedom at once. , ". . . No one nation alone should be allowed "To' exercise tutelage over an other nation until political maturity is achieved, for this would mean. that these minor nations will never get to the top of the ladder." Hassan stressed the importance of Egypt's contribution to the Allied des ert battle. "We have lived up to the letter of our treaty with Britain by permitting the Allies to use our har bors, airdromes and communications." It was disclosed for the first time that Egypt has cut its vital cotton cultivation "the backbone of Egyp tian income" and is replacing it with less lucrative cereal and sugar cane crops to help solve the Allied food shipping problem. According to the minister, the en try of America in the war means the revival of hope for the smaller na tions. Praise for Americans in Egypt was prolific. "In Egypt, American sol diers have distinguished themselves in aviation and tank warfare, and they have contributed immensely to the success of checking the Axis ad vance toward the Nile valley. We are grateful to you." Freedom was the keynote of Has san's signoff. "Don't let the drums of propaganda deafen your ears and blind your vision. Don't let political passions spread their ugly shadow on the light of your conscience. Nothing in this world, nothing, must stand in the way of 'liberty with justice' for everybody, everywhere." Gridders Out to Break Fordham Victory Jinx Carolina, whose football teams have made a fine showiner in New York for tied one. They defeated New York University 14-13 in 1936, 19-6 in 1937, and 7-0 in 1938. Their lone loss in the big city was a 14-0 verdict to Ford ham in 1940. In their only other ap pearance, in 1938, North Carolina and Fordham battled to a scoreless tie. While the Tar Heels have had much success against New York University teams, they have had tough going against Fordham. The Rams have taken three of the four games in this series, and the other game was the 0-0- tie just referred to. Thus North Carolina will be doing its utmost to score its first victory .Rice Owls Cancel Local Match For Oct. 17 Clemson Appears As Likely Choice By Westy Fenhagen A decision regarding possible selec tion of an opponent for the Tar Heels on October 17, one week from Satur day, to fill the spot vacated by the. Rice Owls will be made at a meeting of the complete athletic council Monday night, Coach Bob Fetzer, director of athletics, announced late yesterday. No official comment was available as to which football teams having open days on Oct. 17 would agree to arrang ing for a game with Carolina but re ports from unofficial quarters stated that Clemson would be the most likely possibility for such a game. Location of such a possible contest has not been considered as yet. No other major teams in this section have an open date for October 17 ex cept Clemson and South Carolina whom the Tar Heels humbled last week. Clemson, while having no game carded for Oct. 17 have their annual game with South Carolina the following Thursday, Oct. 22 and therefore might be unwilling to schedule another con test so close to the Gamecock engage ment, i Cancellation of the Rice game at the request of Rice officials was completed around noon yesterday after several telegrams had been exchanged between Jess Neely, Rice director of athletics and Coach Bob Fetzer. Early in the afternoon Fetzer announced that the Athletic Council had granted its agree ment to the Owl request and that the engagement slated as the highlight of homecoming day a week from Saturday was officially off. Rice's request, Coach Fetzer an nounced, was "to postpone the two game contract for the duration of the war." The difficulties and uncertain ties of transportation were given as the official reasons for the action. "In order to make the trip to Chapel Hill," Neely stated, "the team would have had to come here directly from New Orleans" where they have an en See RICE GAME, page U Pharmacy School Will Vote Today, Assemble Tonight Pharmacy school members will at tempt to pass the annual budget and will vote to determine whether the members will take part in the Student Entertainment series at the first meet ing of the school's student body tonight at 8 o'clock in Howell hall. In urging all members to attend, John T. Henley, pharmacy school pre sident, issued the reminder that a ma jority present is required before either proposal can be passed. He also asked that all first year pharmacy students participate in today's class elections to be held at 12 noon. over a Fordham eleven. Except for the scoreless deadlock, the closest the Tar Heels have come to beating the Rams was last fall at Chapel Hill. The Rams won 27-14, but only after the hardest sort of battle. North Caro lina led 7-6 at intermission, but the Rams shoved across two quick touch downs early in the third quarter and moved in front 20-7. Late in the same period North Carolina's offense clicked for a second touchdown to pull up to 14-20. The Tar Heels started rolling again in the last quarter and moved 50 yard3 from their own 35 to the Fordham 15 and first down. Quarterback Johnny Pecora ran back to the 25 to pass, but before he could get the ball off he was tackled hard. The ball spun crazily into the air and dropped safely into the arms of Steve Hudacek, 200-pound tackle. The surprised Hudacek lugged it 65 yard3 for the touchdown that put the game on ice. The final score wa3 27 to 14. n i i
