Bob Heymann (71) is rushing IRC Forum To Analyze Second Front Danziger Among Four Participants Should the Allies open a second front now? n Four men, including Dean R. B. Parker, Edward Danziger, Dr. E. J. Woodhouse and Lt. Brawley of the Pre Flight school will discuss that prob lem at the International Relatioons club's first campus f jrum of the year 4 Tuesday night in Gerrard hall. The second front question,. intensi fied by recent statements by Wendell Willkie, is expected to see extensive analysis by the four leading Chapel Hillians. According to Paul Rubenstein, direc tor of the IRC's campus forums, Dean Parker will probably take a stand for establishment of a second front as soon as it is militarily sound. Lieut. Brawley is still an unknown quantity as to what opinions he will express. Woodhouse is expected to share Dean Parker's views. Danziger, owner of Danziger's candy kitchen in town and once a subject of campus rumors, will make his first public statements during Tuesday's IRC campus forum. Danziger, for four years in the German army in Rus sia during the first world war, will speak strongly against the establish ment of a second front, according to IRC officials. Danziger's contention will be that in vasion of the continent will be perma nently impracticable. The IRC campus forum, part of the club's regular yearly program, will be gin at 8:30 in Gerrard hall. Several more IRC forums will be presented throughout the year, Ruben stein said. All programs will follow the regular plan of bringing together campus and state dignitariesat a round table discussion. .Previous iku ses sions have seen many hot battles among professors. : 4J.i.v1&l : ?

Every fraternity, sorority and dormitory on the campus decked them selves in the most popular colors of the year when rolls and rolls of blue and white streamers floated down on- the f- victory crazy campus. The 21 Greek houses opened their doors in the morning and left them open all night for the hundreds of old grads who came back to jam the rooms to capacity while they talked of the "big team' General theme of the day was- the scrapping ot tne iron jjuKes. ,,i xne general scrap pile was topped by the J best contributions oi tne year as nia eous looking Iron Duke made of a barrel body, tin can arms and a bucket head more than made up for the de pletion of the pile by contesting cam pus groups in the decoration event. The cute little scrappers of Chi Omega and the SAE's led the sorority and fraternity divisions with Carr dorm builders tops of the dormitories. Revelry ran on late into the night as students tramped the streets sing ing and house parties threatened to Jast into long term sessions. The Carolina Inn was booked up to the attic while restaurants steamed the last bit of hamburger and called it Victory Hash. Nobody knows if there were more imports than alumni on the campus yesterday. The only thing that every body knows is that Carolina's annual Homecoming Day was a complete success. Russell to Speak On Religious Views Phillips Russell will be the speaker for the third in a series of talks on "What a Professor Believes About Re ligion" to be given tonight at 7 o'clock in the Presbyterian church lounge.

CWC Charter Completed Bill Gives Group Greater Powers Richard Adler and Henry Moll, chairman and vice-chairman of the Carolina Workshop Council, yesterday completed a new charter embracing re organization plans for the group and placed it in the hands of W. J. Smith and Wiley Long of the Ways and Means Committee for presentation at the next session of the student legis lature. Chairman Adler explained that the organization was founded last year for the express purpose of integrating the work of the creative art departments. Samuel Selden, faculty adviser, and Adler organized the group to bring to the attention of the campus student achievements in the creative art fields. Climax to last year's work of promot ing student work and campus interest in creative art came with the Work shop's Spring Festival. The Festival, a series of concerts, lectures, plays, and exhibits, was attended by over 1,000 people. "This year," Adler stated, "the pri mary purpose is the same and we plan to present the best in student creative work at a second spring festival. Sec ondary in importance is the need to establish the Carolina Workshop as a permanent, major, campus organiza tion. This can only be done by unani mous faculty support and approval by the student body expressed through their representatives on the Legisla ture." Well on the way to achieving the secondary object, Adler and Moll have already gained promises of complete cooperation from the five heads of the dramatic art departments and unani mous approval of the Carolina Work shop Council of their reorganization plan. Essence of the reorganization is; to establish the Workshop as an of ficial channeling agency through which all programs to be presented by the dramatic art departments will be scheduled through the Workshop to eliminate conflicts ; to publicize through the Workshop all such presentations and establish a regular board of com petent critics to write regular review columns on the programs of each de partment; to give to the campus clear and reliable reports on all programs of cultural and artistic values. Intertown Committee Meets This Afternoon There will be an important meeting of the executive committee of the In tertown council this afternoon at 5 o'clock in the country club room of the Y. All members must be present. Co-Captain Joe Austin Scores Both Touchdowns By Westy Fenhagen The proud and haughty Iron Dukes from Duquesne fell from their lofty pinnacle of 16 consecutive wins with a loud crash yes terday as the fightingest bunch Carolina blasted out a 13-6 triumph over the invaders from Pitts burgh. Nearly 15,000 roaring fans in Kenan stadium went wild with joy as the Tar Heels came from behind in the third quarter to chalk up two touchdowns and one extra point which represented the first scoring made on Duquesne in six straight games. Session Set For Tonight University Band, Hypnotist Appear We are expecting a good program and large crowd, so get there at 8:30 sharp to get in on the fun," Joe Harper, master of ceremonies for tonight's Sun day Night Session, said yesterday. Appearing for the first time this year in a concert, the University band will play school and fight songs, popu lar marches and popular songs spe cially arranged for the band. Another feature of the program will be a Russian-born hypnotist who will put on one of the strangest and f unni est acts seen on the campus this year. The hypnotist, who's name can not be revealed until the program has re ceived his education from yogis in In dia and specialists in his field through out the Far East. Instead of having the words for the community sing flashed on a screen, they will be mimeographed and given to the students. The rest of the program will consist of imitations by Clifton Edwards and vocalizing -by --Earl " Easter, former singer for Hal Thurston's dance band. Special Branches Opened by Army For Men Under 21 The United States Army listed 15 specialized branches of service which are open for enlistment to men under 21 years of age, in a special bulletin to Dr. W.

More information on any of the above branches may be obtained at Perry's office in 206 South building. Collection Trucks Promised As Scrap Pile Tops 5 Tons Scrap waited at the fraternity doors yesterday and no trucks came to get it. Men working on the scrap drive had too much scrap to collect elsewhere. The collection bin, now completely hidden by the ever-rising scrap heap, contains over 10,000 pounds of salvaged materials. When the fraternity scrap is added, the committee members ex pect "the total to rise to 15,000 pounds. "We have at last got a complete au tomobile to add to tne scrap heap," Bob Spence, campus chairman of the drive, announced yesterday. "A model T Ford has been donated." Principal cause to the abrupt up swing in the scrap, pile was the dona tions by dormitories which had used scrap in Homecoming displays. The scrap given by Old West in the form of an old discarded "Iron Duke" added 100 pounds. Various dormitories and fraternities throughout the campus collected scrap to use in their home coming exhibit. "When trucks can be procured," it was announced yesterday, "the scrap committees will see that the fraternity scrap donations and all other items of scrap now located on the campus and of Tar Heels ever to represent In credit to the tricky, flashy Dukes who endured an exhausting two-day train trip to make Homecoming Day a complete success, the invaders were extremely tired from their trip and if they had had the proper amount of rest, the final story might have been a different one. But no excuses could dim the brilliant performance the Tar Heels displayed yesterday af ternoon. From start to finish, they played a hard, bruising game and were continuously beating the Dukes to the punch and breaking up tricky scoring plays with an alert defense. Austin Brilliant , - To Co-Captain Austin, playing the most brilliant game of his career, goes the major credit for the Carolina vic tory. Austin scored both Tar Heel touchdowns, one on a 10-yard bullet pass from Billy Myers in the third quarter and the other an electrifying 71-yard touchdown gallop later in the third quarter. Billy Myers, brilliant sophomore scatback from Lexington, also played a major role in the Tar Heels' upset victory. Besides passing to Austin for the first score, Myers set up that touchdown with a 40-yard jaunt to the 10-yard line and got away for several other long runs. The entire Carolina team played the game of their lives in stopping the Dukes thrusts' and took the play away from their heavier rivals. Byrum, Strayhorn, and Highsmith in the line broke through upon numerous occa sions to spill Duquesne runners for losses. The baffling offense of the Dukes in which the ball could be cen tered back to any one of four men was a little puzzling to the Tar Heels at first but later the defenses became uncanny in their ability to diagnose the plays. The Dukes played smart, headsup ball throughout the game but could not match the Tar Heels in fight and agressiveness, which paid off in the end. Tar Heels Uncertain The Tar Heels were somewhat un certain of themselves in the opening half and the Dukes took full advan tage to register one score and come close to another. Early in the open , ing stanza Austin fumbled a Duquesne punt on his own 25 and Cibulas, who played a superb sixty minutes for the Dukes, recovered. But this break didn't materialize and Austin made up for his error by intercepting a fourth down pass on the 9. But several plays later after the Dukes had taken over on the Carolina 43, Kielbasa, who shone in the Duquesne backfield, took See SPIRITED, Page 3 in town will be put on the scrap pile." At the present time Orange county is averaging over 11 pounds per per son in the nationwide scrap drive. With the 10,000 pounds of scrap rep resenting collections by 3,300 people, University students are only collecting a fraction over three pounds per stu dent. This total appears minute when compared with the figure run up by Graham county which now boasts a collection of scrap averaging over 100 pounds per person in the county. With the ever-increasing demand for scrap from the War Production board, it is fast becoming evident that in order to reach the minimum figure pre scribed by the office, it will be neces sary that every person living in the United States contribute scrap. "The more, the better." The WPB states that 6,000,000 tons of scrap are required as the smallest amount possible to meet present de mands of the armed forces. Trucks to collect the fraternity scrap will be sent Monday, "if at all possible." All dormitories who "borrowed" scrap from the pile for an exhibit are asked to bring it back PLUS an equal amount collected by themselves. V. . , - . . i
