sized the fact that "Every student
should be on hand to back up Carolina's
fighting team with plenty of that old
Carolina spirit to prepare them for a
long, hard trip and their toughest game
'of the season. It's the twelfth man's
only chance this week to show that
they'll be in there backing up their
team through every minute of Satur
day's game."

members of the team will be taken by
car to Durham where they will board
the train for New Orleans. The team

Rameses Gone;
State Suspected
Rameses has definitely disappeared.
A reporter bicycled through the muck
and mire leading to Hogan's lake for
an interview with Mrs. Jack Hogan.
The following facts were revealed:
The Carolina mascot was stolen
from his peaceful country home at the
Hogan farm Monday night between
8:30 and 9 o'clock.
About 8:30 a crowd of boys made a
disturbance in the road in front of the
Hogan place. Mr. Hogan tried to find
out the cause and was told that they
were a group of fraternity pledges go
ing through part of their initiation.
Shortly afterward the boys left in
cars at full speed. Mr. Hogan was of
the opinion that the culprits were
State students.
First official news of the disaster
came in yesterday's Raleigh News and
Observer, which further led to the be
lief that Rameses had been stolen by
State boys.
A crowd of students gathered at the
Old Well last night but no action was
taken.
Truck Ready
For Salvage
Navy Conducting
Own Scrap Drive
Due to the lack of a truck, the scrap
collections, long scheduled for "today"
were not made yesterday but "definite
ly will be made today," according to a
statement made by Bob Spence, chair
man of the campus scrap committee.
Dormitories in the former upper
quad, now inhabited by the Navy are
participating in a ,scrap drive of their
own. Each dormitory has collected all
useless scrap and piled it out in front.
Whether the scrap will.be given to the
town pile or to the students' bin could
not be learned yesterday.
"Now resting on a' "comfortable?
20,000-pound total, the scrap drive, de
spite valiant efforts of a few commit
tee members, is slowing down.
Plans continue to go forward for
shipping the scrap to a smelting plant
where it can be turned into badly need
ed material for the war effort. Don
aid Nelson continues his plea for at
least 6,000,000 tons of scrap metal to
boost the nation's dwindling supply.
Fraternity scrap will be collected to
day along with that from the town stu
dents and dormitories, it was an
nounced yesterday.

tive secretary, announced today that

Carolina at the state student legisla
tive assembly,, to be held in Raleigh,

Debate council members decided at
their meeting last night to postpone

the already overcrowded Intramural
competition schedule.

debating season were also announced

Dr. Warren
Says Czechs
Key Issue
Professor Speaks
At Philosophy Forum
"Czechoslovakia is the key issue in
this war as in the last," stated Dr.
W. Preston Warren speaking last
night before the second Philisophy
Forum of the year.
K "In this war Czechoslovakia was the
real starting point and the first great
center of resistance. Czechoslovakia
was in the last war and is in this re
presentative of all nations that stand
for human rights on higher planes of
living," continued Dr. Warren.
It was 24 years ago come this Wed
nesday that the Czech people took over
their government in a bloodless revo
lution, Warren asserted. The leader
was Thomas Garringue Masaryk, a
professor of philosophy who without
sufficient money, personal influence,
and sufficient following challenged the
power of the Hapsburg Regime when
it was at its crime. '"' "Masaryk is
called not the father of Czechoslo
vakia but the 'Little Father' as Jan
Pulaski, a member of the Awakeners
of Bohemia, is considered the real
'Father' of Czechoslovakia." ;
"Masaryk," said Dr. Warren, "was
the, first of the world's statesmen to
. i TTT 1 1 TTT '
recognize tnat .tne worm war was
not a war between the British govern
ment and Germany but a war between
people and ideas. It was Masaryk who
realized that the only foundations of
democracy are truth and morality.
And, for this democracy to function
it is imperative for people to be in
formed." -.
Dr. Warren stated that the world
question in a real sense is the Czech
question.
Author of a philosophical study of
the life of Masaryk, -Dr. Warren has
spent several years in Czechoslovakia
studying Czech democracy. v
November 11 the Philosophy "Forum
presents Mr. Philip Cheng, who will
discuss the philosophical principles
for which China fights.

Playmakers Replace
Karloff with Dracula
For 'Arsenic' Drama
By Leah Richter
The Carolina Playmakers didn't
have a Karloff to try out for the famed
Jonathan role in the melodramatic
"Arsenic and Old Lace," but was for
tunate enoughto have a reincarnation
of - Dracula, alias Arthur Conescu, to
do the part. : "
Without the skill of the unskilled
plastic, surgeon of the play, Dr. ""Ein
stein, Conescu found it nearly impos
sible to make up like Karloff, so he
studied Bela Lugosi and succeeded.
The critics vowed John Barrymore
held audiences down as John Barry-
more in "The Royal Family" and "My
Dear Children," that Alexander Wooll
cott stole Monte Wooley's part of Alex
ander Woollcott while touring "The
Man Who Came to Dinner," and that
Boris Karloff looked so much like Boris
Karloff in "Arsenic and Old Lace" that
goose pimples burst out on him.
These types of plays and actors to
fit the parts are the device to which
harried playwrights have resorted in
later years in a desperate attempt to
fill the box-offices of Broadway with
jangling sounds.
Conescu, a junior, has played sum
mer stock with the Forty-Niners in
Whitefield, New Hampshire, and is go
ing on his third year with the Play
makers.
Y-Y Photo Deadline
Extended to Saturday
Hunt Hobbs, Yackety-Yack edi
tor, announced that the deadline for
junior and senior pictures has been
extended until this Saturday, be
cause only half the upperclassmen
have had their pictures taken for
the year book. "This is the last ex
tension," he declared.
Stressing that complete coopera
tion by the student body is neces
sary if the annual is to be out be
fore spring, Hobbs stated that
juniors and seniors who have not
appeared at Wootten-Moulton's by
Saturday cannot expect to see their
pictures in the book.
Picture proofs will be ready one
week after the photos are taken.
The choice of the proof to be used
is up to the student, but if he hasn't
selected it, the Y-Y editors will be
forced to make the choice.
Wootten-Moulton's will start tak
ing freshmen and sophomore pic
tures Monday.

Dorm Yote

Town, Dorms
Add Power
University Club
Shuffles Statutes
The University club acted Tuesday
o reinstate former lower quadrangle
residents,, give ex-graduate dorms the
privilege of representation, and in
crease the number-of town represen
tatives.
President Denny Hammond called
the meeting to consider recommenda
tions made by the membership com
mittee for amending the membership
articles of the constitution. Changes
were necessitated by the Navy's oc
cupation of University dormitories and
the redistribution of lower quadrangle
residents to other dorms, town houses,
fraternities, and sororities.
The club voted to waive the provi
sions of article six which stated that
members elected to the club would be
automatically dropped from the rolls if
they changed their places of residence.
The action was taken to permit stu
dents who were elected to represent
dormitories now occupied by the Navy
to remain in the club. A motion was
passed to establish a policy of consid
ering these members as the represen
tatives of their new residences or dis
tricts where no representative has yet
been chosen.
Clauses which exempted graduate
dormitories, Carr, Smith, Whitehead
and Kenan from representation in the
University club were struck out since
these dormitories now house under
graduates as well as graduates.
The number of town representatives
was raised from two to eight. Willie
Long, chairman of the committee,
stated that this increase was necessary

Two U. S. Destroyers Sunk
In Solomons; Battle Rages
WASHINGTON, Oct. 21 (UP) Jap forces have sunk two American de
stroyers. and resumed their attacks on the Guadalcanal airfield, but American
flyers are still hitting back hard, the Navy reported tonight in a communique
which indicated the main battle of the Solomons is not yet joined.
It noted ominously that "large numbers" of enemy warships are still poised
in the northerly Solomons apparently awaiting the signal for anticipated
all-out Jap attempts to recapture positions lost to the Marines August 7.
The Navy said the destroyers Meredith and O'Brien two of the newest of
the American fleet were sunk by enemy action "within the last few days."
It said reports on casualties have not been received, but it is believed all of
the O'Brien's personnel and most of the Meredith's were rescued.
, There was no immediate estimate of the number of blue jackets aboard the
destroyers. It was not revealed how they were lost whether by sea or air
action. They brought to 12 the number of American warships and auxiliaries
lost in the Solomons campaign.
LONDON, Oct. 21 (UP) US Army flying fortresses struck a terrific blow
at the German sub base at Lorient, on the coast of France today and American-built
Mustang fighter planes made history by flying all the way to Ger
many to shoot up the Dortmund-ems canal area.
Vichy dispatches said 100 were- killed and 450 wounded at Lorient in one
of the most destructive Allied raids of the war. Lorient is Germany's main
Atlantic sub base where huge" concrete shelters provide haven for raiders of
Allied shipping.
The Mustangs, flown by RAF pilots, became the first single-motored fighter
planes based in Britain to penetrate Germany. Used by the army cooperation
command, they took off this morning under direction of a squadron com-!
mander and flew 250 miles east, attacking German objectives in Holland on
their way to Dortmund.

New Hours Law
Passed by 286;
Starts Tomorrow
Coeds living in the dormitories will
return . to dormitories Friday nights
by 1 o'clock as a result of action in
stigated by woman students in a vote
taken in all dormitories last night.
The vote, tabulated late last night,
showed 286 coeds favoring the 1
o'clock deadline, 82 voted for a 2
o'clock curfew and 76 wanted the mid
night deadline.
The entire coed student body's ac
tion came about as a result of a sen
ate decision yesterday to refer final
action to the girls.
Two Hour Debate
The issue was wafted back and forth
for two hours at the coed senate meet
ing in which a record number of coed
spectators took part. Dean House
highlighted the meeting with an ad
dress to clarify reasons for the pro
posed hours change.
Urging more individual sincerity
in regard to the war ettort, Dean
House said, "The dormitory closing
issue is a mere item in the matter.
The idea is to start earlier and finish
earlier.
"This is undoubtedly the freest
governing student body in the United
States, not because anybody has given
you something, but because you've got
sense enough to govern yourselves."
He urged the coeds, therefore, to em
ploy their power wisely. ;
Takes Effect Tomorrow -.
The bill will take effect tomorrow.
Movement toward shortened' hours
came about as a -result of the earlier
start being given University-sponsored
dances and the national movement to
ward more healthful living, given mo
mentum by President Roosevelt.
Speaker Ditzi Buice emphasized
that the change would be only the
first in a long chain in accordance with
shifts in the entire world scene re
sulting from the war.
