Carolina Inn
Will Be Used
Temporarily
Swain to Open
On December 1
By Bob Levin
After a short two weeks service to
the University, the Pine room will be
closed to student diners beginning
next Thursday when its complete fa
cilities will be used to feed Pre-flight
cadets, it was announced yesterday by
Administration Dean R. B. House.
Thursday morning breakfast will be
served in the banquet room of the
Carolina Inn with a seating capacity
of 135 students. The family plan of
feeding students will be discontinued
in favor of cafeteria style.
Low Prices
L. B. Roge-n, business manager,
stated that prices will be "based on
cost" and kept at that level until
Swain hall is opened December 1.
Reason for the Naval requisitioning,
which was originally scheduled for
November 15, was attributed to the
fact that Lenoir Dining hall is being
taxed to capacity limits to feed the
1500 cadets now stationed at Carolina.
With the arrival "sometime in early
November" of the last contingent in
the 1875 quota, the overflow will have
to be fed in the Pine room.
Naval Property
University officials point out that
the Pine room has always been Naval
property and was lent to the school
with the proposition that it be given
back by the November deadline.
Under normal "planning "the '"Nayy
was to move into the Pine room on
November 15 the NROTC was to
move from Swain hall into their new
armory and Swain was to be com
pletely renovated for cafeteria service
within five days after evacuation.

-s
Leader to Meet
With 12 Colleges
At tomorrow's series of World Stu
dent Service fund meetinsrs in Gra
ham Memorial, Alan Booth, one of the
youngest and ablest men in the Brit
ish student movement, will report on
student conditions all over the world.
Booth is especially well-qualified to
address the gathering, respresenting
some 12 southern institutions, since
he has traveled extensively and much
of his information comes from per
sonal observations, said Harry Comer,
local WSSF head.
Irish Born
Irish born, Booth was educated at
Wesly, Dublin, Cambridge, and Trin
ity, where he first became interested
in the International Student Service,
a WSSF sponsor, and the Student
Christian Movement. "My college ca-

which is open to all students, Booth

underclassmen in European and
Asiatic universities.
reer," says Booth, "was entirely un
distinguished except that the early
part of it took place in and around revo
lution and civil war in Ireland."
The Irishman's original career, law,
was eclipsed in 1936 when he offered
himself as a candidate for the minis
try in the Methodist church. Two
years later he reported to his first
pulpit in the Belfast slums. "Poverty,
unemployment, open air preaching and
social work" are the most vivid mem
ories of his year at the Belfast Cen
tral Mission.

Game To Be Shown
Starting at 2:30
Students gathered on about the 50
yard line this afternoon in Memorial
hall to witness the grid-graph of the
Carolina-Tulane game will be less
than a minute behind developments di
rect from the Tulane " stadium over
1000 miles away.
University club members operating
the grid-graph will receive reports di
rect from the Tulane stadium over a
special leased wire. As the tape comes
off the machine backstage, the opera
tors of the board will reenact the play-by-play
description of the graph. From
field to press box by wire to backstage
to grid-graph will take about 25 sec
onds. Kickoff at Two-thirty
Starting with the kickoff at 2:30
p.m., the grid-graph will bring the
account of the game until the final
whistle is blown. Scores of all the im
portant games in the country will be
announced from time to time as they
come in backstage.
The University club first sponsored
the grid-graph during last year's
tragic Tulane game. The system was
reinaugurated for this year's Fordham
game, and spontaneous cheers rang out
as Fordham's field goal went awry dur
ing the last few minutes of play.
Large Crowd
Former games have drawn over 800
students tQ' Memorial hall .to see the
battle by remote control, according to
University Club President, Denny
Hammond. "I expect this year's win
ning team will draw a considerably
larger crowd," he said.
Today's gridiron classic in the Cres
cent City will not be broadcast, due to
war-time limitations, and Carolina
fans who want to know what is hap
pening as it happens will be able to do
so by paying 25 cents, going to Me
morial hall, and imagining that they
are seated in the Carolina cheering sec
tion. Home team rooters are urged to
come to the field early so that choice
seats can be secured. All ticket gates
will be opened promptly so that the
expected hoard of spectators can be
accommodated.

NEW ORLEANS, October 23 Football is once again the main

The Tar Heels arrived late tonight and took up quarters in the

London Work
When war struck England, Booth
was granted a leave of absence irom
the church and went to work as gen
eral secretary of the International
Student Service. On ISS duty he un
derwent two months of London blitz in
between visits to ISS chapters of the
nation's universities.
Booth .became assistant secretary
general of the Student ' Christian
movement. His work brought him in
to contact with the WSSF, and now,
on detached duty, Booth is in the
states aiding in the $300,000 war re
lief drive of the Student Service fund.
The stocky, blonde Irishman has be
come recognized in his few months
here as a forceful, witty speaker. Sun
day, he's expected to present the prob

students in prison camps to the school
representatives at the WSSF planning
conference.
Civil Service
Offers War Jobs
Seniors not expecting to go into the
armed forces because of special train
ing in engineering and the sciences, are
urged by the Civil Service Commission
to apply immediately for war jobs.
These commissions, through which
all federal jobs are filled have elim
inated examinations in many cases and
have dropped the requirement of work
ing experience. The primary demand
at the present time is for Junior En
gineers, Junior Chemists, Junior Me
teorologists, Junior Physicists, Junior
Metallurgists, and Junior Geologists.
Applications and additional infor
mation for the above jobs can be ob
tained from the United States Civil
Service Commission, Washington, D.
C, Civil Service District Offices, in the
larger cities and first or second class
post offices in other cities and towns.
Town, Campus Scrap Collections End
UNC Pile Weighs TenTons or Six Pounds Per Student
Collection of town and campus scrap
donations were completed yesterday,
preceding the announcement that all
scrap collected in the current drive
will be hauled away to Durham Mon
day. Scrap Bin
"This, however, does not mean that
the driveTs over, Bob Spence, campus
salvage committee chairman said, "it
only means that the intensive and or
ganized phase is over. The scrap bin is
going to be left intact and students
who uncover scrap are urged to bring
it all to the bin. Collections of the scrap
will be made from time to time. It is
hoped that the student body will con
tinue to give their cooperation and help
make the salvage campaign a great
success."
Cooperating with the scrap drive to
tbo limit is Henry Moll who donated
the results of a good cleaning of Gra
ham Memorial to the drive, bcrap totals
now are swaying above the 20,000 mark
but it does not form a very impressive
picture when compared to the total
racked up by State college. One ob
server said, "The boys collected every
piece of scrap on th campus." Other
schools throughout the country name
such totals as "100 tons" and "80 tons"
as their final tabulation.
High Average
Throughout the state and nation,
scrap drives sponsored by newspapers
are coming to a climax with a stagger
ing total of salvage materials being col
lected. At the present time there are
4 counties in North Carolina which
have contributed over 100 pounds per
person. Orange county at the last re
port received by state headquarters had
given a little over 19 pounds per per
son. The Carolina student body of 3300
has managed to get 20,000 pounds to
gether, or an average of 6 pounds per
student. "
Donald Nelson's plea for national
cooperation, however, seems to be an
swered. Newspaper participation in
the drive has informed 'everybody
that a drive is on and we have a war
to win."
Coeds Offered
Chance To Win
Magazine Award
Seeking those women whose lives
best represent the highest type of civil
ian effort in winning the war, Made
moiselle magazine has announced a
series of monthly awards to be known
as the M-V awards. Coeds of the Uni
versity are eligible in one class of the
award, that of students who are giving
extra time to wrar work.
The new contest is open to all Made
moiselle readers and their candidates
or nominees, between the ages of 17 and
35, who are making notable contribu
tions to the war program by buying
war bonds and stamps, following a
personal budget for economy and con
servation of important materials, and
otherwise aiding the war effort.
Competition Equalized
To equalize competion among those
who are directly engaged in paid jobs
in war work and those who are not, four
classes of entries have been established.
Candidates and nominees will compete
only within their own classes, which
are distinguished as follows : Class A :
Those employed directly in war work on
a full-time, paid-job basis, or in work
which releases a man to the arme3
forces; Class B. Those who are still
in peacetime jobs and are devoting their
extra hours to war activity; Class C:
Those who are students in college who
are also giving extra times to war
work; anji Class D: Those who are not
employed in any job and who are not
students but who are giving a con
siderable amount of time to activities
closely allied to the war program.
Women students who feel that they
qualify for this award, or who know
people, on campus or off, who would
be eligible for the award, are asked to
get in touch with Betty Moore, campus
member of Mademoiselle College
Board, in Alderman, or Marsha Hood,
president of WGA, in Spencer. They
will have official entry or nomination
blanks.

College Leaders
Meet Tomorrow
By Helen Highwater
Rameses III, pastured for four
nights and three days in Raleigh,
comes home this morning at 11 o'clock
in Memorial hall.
At a mass meeting last night at 10
o'clock in Riddick Stadium, the State
student body voted unanimously to dele
gate student leaders to return Rameses
to Carolina.
Cancellation?
Bob Boyce, State student body
president, called the meeting after the
four students who had taken Rameses
"purely as a practical prank" revealed
themselves. Informed by student lead
ers of the potential danger of the cur
rent skirmishes between Carolina and
State students and warned that the
game might even have to be called off,
the four requested that the question
be put before the whole State student
body.
"The State student body met last
night and decided to return Rameses to
the University of North Carolina. The
students felt that this was a wise plan
when they saw the possible complica
tions and repercussions that might de
velop because of this seemingly simple
act. We hope that the Carolina stu
dents will accept Rameses with the
same spirit that they have shown so
far this week," said Boyce to W. D.
Carmichael last night.
Denny. Hammond, president of the .
University club, aslsed Carolina stu
dents to be in Memorial hall by 10:45
this morning. Bert Bennett, president
of the Carolina student body, will re
ceive Rameses from the State delega
tion. Carolina student leaders learned
yesterday that prior to last Tuesday
night when .Rameses was taken from
his pasture at Jack Hogan's farm, that
Rick hall on the State College campus
had been chalked with comments on
the coming State game, presumably by
a Carolina delegation.
Campus leaders from State college
and Carolina will meet tomorrow night
at 6:30 at a supper to be held in the
Carolina Inn to discuss plans for alle
viating the tension between Carolina
and State students caused by old and
recent- pranks.
Prompted by the recent kidnapping
of "Rameses" by State students and
by the near riot that took place after
last year's Carolina-State football
game, the meeting will be the first of
several designed to promote more
friendly relations between the two
campuses.
First Meeting
At the first meeting Sunday night
which has been arranged by the Order
of the Grail and the Student Council,
Carolina will be represented by Bert
Bennett, president of the student body;
W. J. Smith, speaker of the legisla
ture; Bucky Harward, editor of The
Daily, Tab Heel; Denny Hammond,
president of the University club;
Charlie Tillet and Steve Karres, repre
senting the Grail; and R. B. Parker,

Negro Question Discussed
By CPU Panel Tomorrow
First in a series of Carolina Politi
cal union panels on current problems
of national interest "The Negro in
Industry and the War," will be pre
sented tomorrow at 8 p.m. in the Gra
ham Memorial main lounge.
Approaching problems from a new
angle, the CPU this year is for the
first Jtime inviting outside members of
the student body to its meetings.
Forums of topics of interest have
been used before but no forum, panel,
or discussion group has been prepared
so painstakingly as the currently
planned panel discussing , the Negro
problem.
"In order to make the discussion
more interesting and to present the
Negro as well as the white viewpoint,
we are inviting Dr. James T. Taylor
of the North Carolina College for Ne
groes and the president of their stu
dent body; Douglass Watson."
Negotiations were going forward
yesterday to get a member of the So
ciology department to attend. Ef
forts were being made this week to
get in contact with Dr. H. W. Odum
but as yet nothing definite has been
learned.
As a preparatory measure to the
panel, throughout the past week the
Daily Tar Heel has run columns
that grew out of CPU discussion cf
the subject in order to familiarize the
student body with the more general
conditions surrounding the subject. A
summation of the Negro situation is
being printed in this issue.
"In view of the ever increasing
seriousness of the Negro problem,"
said Raily, "students should be more
interested in finding out what goes on
around them, especially so since the
Negroes are vital to the nation's well
being."
