Class WiU Vote
All Day Thursday
Nominations for officers of the
freshman class will be held Tuesday
at the regular morning assembly in
Hill hall, announced W. J. Smith,
speaker of the Student Legislature.
The student council -will be in charge
of the nominations, which will be for
president, vice-president, secretary,
treasurer, and student legislature rep
resentatives. The council will also be responsible
for the conduct of the polls, the count
ing of the votes, and the announcing
and conducting of any necessary run
offs. DTH Announces Results
The polls will open at 9 a.m. Thurs
day and remain open until 5 p.m. to
give every member of the class an op
portunity to cast their ballot. The
Y' will be the scene of the ballot
casting and the results will be an
nounced in the Daily Tar Heel Fri
day morning.
Nominations will be unlimited but,
as Dean Parker stressed in chapel yes
terday, "Any boy who is already eigh
teen years old, and is almost certain to
be drafted before the year is up, should
not be nominated unless he is in some
form of the reserves, for no matter
what heights he is capable of, he will
be of little use unless he can fill out
his term."
Rules Enforced
The "five-dollar rule," which pro
hibits any nominee from spending
more than that amount for his cam
paign will be rigidly enforced by the
election committee of the legislature.

Gallup Poll
Organization
Klein Will Head
National Board Here
Dr. George Gallup and "William J.
Gaskill of the American Institute of
Public Opinion have given editors of
the Daily Tar Heel and officers of the
Internationals Relations club the go
ahead signal for reestablishment of
the monthly Intercollegiate Gallup Poll
at Chapel Hill.
After months of negotiations with
Carolina students, the directors of the
American Institute of Public Opinion
have given the University their "bless
ing and hearty approval" to take over
the national poll where Princeton uni
versity's magazine, Nassau Sovereign,
left off last year.
The poll will be headed by Walter
Klein of the IRC and Daily Tar Heel.
It will tap student opinion throughout
the country on vital questions in do
mestic and international affairs. Ap
proximately 50 schools will participate,
each with a student board to direct
their local poll.
A national board to manage the en
tire survey will be set up next week to
begin work immediately. Members
will be appointed from the Daily Tar
Heel staff and IRC membership by
Bob Hoke, DTH managing editor, and
Grady Morgan, IRC president.
The Gallup poll will receive in con
fidence the regular service of Gallup
poll questions. The Carolina national
board will add questions of its own be
fore sending them, out to the 50 sub
scribing colleges. When monthly re
sults are returned and tabulated, the
IRC-Tar Heel committee will release
simultaneously college results and re
sults of the regular Gallup poll dis
patched from New York.

Town Boys Choose
Representatives
For Legislature
Town students elected five repre
sentatives to the student legisuature at
district rallies Monday and Tuesday
nights and the names are slated to be
put up for approval at next Wednes
day night's session, Intertown Coun
cil President Barry Colby announced
last night.
The five representatives are Jiggs
Askew, Warren Johnson, Horton
Rountree, Ben Perlmutter, and Barry
Colby.
Askew will represent district four,
Johnson will represent district three,
Rountree will represent district one.
Delegates to the University club were
also nominated at the district meetings.
Five were selected from each district,
two of whom will be picked by the Uni
versity club officials to serve as repre
sentatives. The Intertown council elections were
held on the basis of a recent amend
ment to the legislature's constitution
providing for two additional student
delegates from town. Three others were
elected to fill vacancies created during
the summer.
fans do not have long to wait, how
ever, for the peaceful setting is only a

start to finish.
Last night's visit by the Duke Play
ers marks the first in a series of mu
tual visits by the two groups who are
running each other close competition
this season, presenting three identical
shows.
Admission is by season pass or at
the box office for 85 cents. Either may
be obtained at the Playmakers' busi

years ago. She will lead the band at
the head of the parade which is to
leave Swain hall promptly at 7:45 to
night. Students will join the proces
sion as it swings past fraternity court,
down Franklin, by BVP, and then past
the girls dormitories and sororities
and back to Memorial hall.
University club president Denny
Hammond, refused to reveal the names
of the speakers to appear on the pro
gram saying, "the emphasis will be on
the element of surprise." He had,
however, stated previously that there
would be one speaker from the adminis
tration, one from the Athletic associa
tion, and "an old favorite among Caro
lina students at important pep rallies
during past years."
He refused to state whether or not
Rameses would appear on the pro
gram. "That is to be part of the sur
prise," he said.
Expecting student spirit to be at a
peak at the pep rally, Hammond de
clared that he hoped students would
show all their spirit at the rally and at
the game on Saturday by backing the
team, and not by any "unbecoming
demonstrations" at State.
The rally will be over by 8:45 in
order to permit students to get to
Woollen gymnasium for the intra
mural boxing finals.
WSSF Favors
Fund Drive
Unification
Bill Referred
To Legislature
Plans to streamline all campus fund
appeals were considered at yesterday's
World Student Service fund committee
meeting.
The committee, composed of campus
leaders, voted to submit a bill to the
student legislature calling for the
amalgamation of all campus drives in
to one concentrated community chest.
Dick Railey and Bucky Osborne were
directed to draw up the measure.
Nancy Smith and Bernard Moser,
two committee members-at-large, were
the unanimous selections as co-chairmen
of the group, which was formed
to direct the local drive of the World
Student Service fund. Harry Comer
was elected treasurer of the commit
tee. Appointment of all sub-committees
and officers was left to the discre
tion of the co-chairmen.
It was also decided to limit the com
munity chest fund drive to 12 days.
The plan calls for the appeal to open
on November 16 and end on Thanks
giving day, November 26.
During the hour-long meeting,
Comer pointed out that if Carolina
were to rank as a key college in the
WSSF drive, last year's UNC total of S
$400 for WSSF war relief would have
to be more than tripled. "The nation
wide WSSF goal has been raised to
$300,000, in order to provide for many
new war prisoners, many of them
American. If Carolina is to be a key
college in this giant effort, we should
try -to raise at least $1,000," he said.
Campus Song Hunt
Enters Last Week
As the search for appropriate new
University hymns, or Tar Heel pep or
fight songs entered its second week,
Denny Hammond, University club pres
ident, emphasized the fact that any
student onthe campus is eligible to sub
mit a score before the contest closes
November 4.
Sponsored jointly by the Phi Mu Al
pha music fraternity and the Univer
sity club, the contest offers as first
prize a $25 War Bond, to be given by
the University club, and a second prize
of $10 in defense stamps to be given by
the Athletic association. Awards will
be made at the Sunday night session on
November 8.
Rules of the contest require that
competing composers must put ficti
tious names on the scores they submit.
In addition they are to attach to the
score a sealed envelope containing their
real names and addresses as well as
the fictitious name written on the
music Songs submitted must be placed

State to Be Host
For Celebration
Students from Carolina, State, and
the Woman's College will celebrate
Greater University day in ' Riddick
stadium tomorrow.
Dr. Frank Graham, president of the
Greater University; Governor Brough
ton; and the three student body presi
dents, Bert Bennett, Bob Boyce, and
Miss Rindleman, will address the
gathering between halves of the Carolina-State
game. ,
Since the merger of the three insti
tutions, designed to provide a more
workable administration system, the
date of the Carolina-State football
game has always been set aside for the
observance of Greater University day.
In a short time, it has become a high
spot in the fall football quarter at both
State and Carolina.
Hundreds of Girls
In former years, five or six bands,
floats and parades highlighted the oc
casion. Hundreds of girls from the
college at Greensboro added a bright
note to the proceedings.
War has deleted the "processions of
walking, mounted, motorized and
aerial units," and transportation diffi
culties have reduced the representa
tion of the Woman's College from
"hundreds" to "tens," but Bennett pre
dicted that "none of the spirit of the
day will be lost."
The bands from the three sections
of the greater university will perform
for the expected capacity crowd of
18,000. .
There will be 15 sponsors for the
game five each from the three great
divisions of the University.
Bill Wamuck, chairman of the
Greater University day committee at
State, has also arranged for a banquet
at 12:30 p. m. for the speakers and
the many alumni from both institu
tions who will return to watch their
teams play.
After the football contest, the fra
ternities and dormitories on the West
Raleigh campus will hold open house
for the many visitors. The day's
events will be climaxed by a large
dance there tomorrow night.

U. S. Repulses Jap Thrusts;
Rommel Continues Retreat
MOSCOW, Oct. 30 (UP) The Germans, at a cost of 1,500 men and 11
tanks smashed 50 to 100 yards deeper into north Stalingrad Thursday it was
announced today, but that fourth Soviet setback in the Volga city in two days
was offset by reports that blizzards sweeping west of the Caucasus have
already frozen to death hundreds of Germans.
The German momentum appeared to be diminishing in Stalingrad the last
previous gain having been from 100 to 200 yards and additional cause for
Soviet optimism came in front reports that the Red relief army bearing
down from the north to lift the siege had seized a large town and routed the
13th Rumanian division.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 30 (UP) Japanese forces broke through American
mines on Guadalcanal for the second time in two days, but counter-attacking
Marines and Army troops drove them back and also repulsed two subsequent
enemy thrusts, the Navy announced today.

key to the American defenses, U. S.

seaplanes on the water.
The communique added that "no report of any recent action at sea or land

GENERAL MAC ARTHUR'S HEADQUARTERS, AUSTRALIA, Oct. 29
(UP) General MacArthur is pouring bomber reinforcements into New
Guinea to help beat off Jap assaults on Guadalcanal, it was learned tonight.
The flyers already have turned four main Jap supply bases into flaming
torches and sunk or damaged 17 Jap ships in that area in the past week.
New Guinea front dispatches said more Allied planes were based on that
island now than ever before and that others were coming. Air activity over
that area is ceaseless and pilots and ground crews are working at top speed
to intensify their striking power in support of the U. S. Marines battling
along the north shore of Guadalcanal, 950 miles to the east.
