East River Frontage
Lake Success, N. Y., Dec. 11 (UP)
The United Nations tonight may
be on the verge of settling a prob
lem that a lot of private citizens would
like to settle where to live.
For the first time, the United States
has given its support to a specific lo
cation, calling on the world diplo
mats to settle down on the east side,
mid-town Manhattan site which John
i. Rockefeller junior, has offered to
donate.
In a letter to the headquarters com
mittee, Rockefeller said he would
give the world organization $8,500,
000 to buy the tract- along the East
River between 42nd and 48th streets.
Russia, America Approve
And the American delegation im
mediately put its stamp of approval
on the site. Russia also hailed the
offer as a possible solution to the year

WEATHER TODAY
Considerable cloudiness and mild

Sale Starts;
sportation for Carolina students, and
scheduling for a gala New Year's
Eve combination supper, party, and
pep rally.
A table will be set up in Woollen
gymnasium today from 9 to 1 and 2
to 5 o'clock at which students can se
cure information about the game, put
their names on lists to get rooms, and
indicate whether or not they desire
a pre-game New Year's Eve party
in New Orleans. A Committee mem
ber stated last night that they can
not possibly make plans for the af
fair until they find out exactly how
many students want it, and intend
to be present.
, Dorsett stressed that students
buying ticket coupons this morning
should have the exact change, with
l them in order to keep the line mov
ing at a maximum rate of speed.
The $3 tickets are for end-zone
seats, while the $5 seats are be
tween the 20 and 35 yard lines.
.. The Committee is working on sever
al schemes for transportation and
housing, one plan combining both as
pects. The Southern Railway Com
pany has been contacted to find out if
it would be feasible to provide stu
dents with special Pullmans attached
to a regular New Orleans-bound
train, side-track the train in the Cres
cent City, and let passengers live in
the cars until time to return home.
Another plan is being, discussed
with Charity Hospital in New Or
leans. The CJommittee may succeed in
getting an unused wing m the hos
nights they intend to be there.
It was stressed that there is no
guarantee that the Committee will
be able to get rooms for everyone
who requests them, but that they are
doing the best that they possibly can
to solve the problem.
For those who wish committee aid
for housing, the procedure is as fol
lows: (1) List name at table in Wool
len gymnasium this morning; (2)
Check at Carolina booth in the lobby
of the Roosevelt hotel for room as

proposed pre-game Carolina party,
but declined, explaining that as much
as he wished to be present, he had to
broadcast the next day, January 1.

Final Count of Campus Voting
Shows Slight Majority ForSP
Coed Candidates May Be Ineligible;
Decision Is Left Up to Legislature
" By Bill Sexton
An apparent University Party landslide failed to materialize
in final returns yesterday evening,
successful candidate the Student Party is for the present
victor at the polls.
The University Party, as predicted, carried the town districts
to elect 10 non-dormitory legislators, a men's representative on the
Student Council, and one member off
the Men's Council. The Student Party
walked off with the dormitory vote,
electing thirteen legislators. A legis
lature candidate endorsed by both par
ties was also victorious.
The box score: 13 to 12 in
favor of the Student Party.
Student Council Runoff
But the major post at stake Stu
dent Council at large remains un
decided, with a runoff election be
tween Bob Broughton (UP) and Ed
York (SP) scheduled for early Janu
'Booheteria' to Eliminate Vets Book Lines
By Darley Lochner
Block long lines will be only a night
mare of the past for Carolina veter
ans when the "booketeria," scheduled
to open for -the winter term in the
basement of Steele dormitory, is in
full operation.
H. R. Ritchie, manager of the Book
Exchange, yesterday estimated that
the new self-service store, planned
exclusively for veterans, would speed
service to three times the operating
capacity of the regular Book Ex
change. Non-veteran students will al
so benefit from the new store since
the regular Book Exchange will be
much less crowded.
Self-Service Plan
Set ud on a self-service plan, the
booketeria will be organized for ac-
and by the narrow margin of one
ary. In the election Tuesday the Uni
versity Party candidate led the SP's
York by 112 votes, and a similar vic
tory in the runoff would give the UP
a tie.
Tuesday's election, called to fill va
cancies in the student government,
gives the Student Party a clear plur
ality in the legislature, but the UP re
tains its dominant position in all
other units of the student government.
The SP's legislative plurality, how
ever, does not at all signify control,
curacy and speed. After a student has
determined the texts needed for a
course, either from the professor or
from lists in the booketeria lobby, he
will be admitted to the stacks where
all books will be arranged alphabetic
ally under departmental headings.
The student himself will select his
books. Bills to the Veterans Adminis
tration will be computed from a check
list at the exit door of the booketeria.
A special feature of the stacks will
be small cards which will be substitut
ed for books temporarily out of sup
ply. The cards will contain informa
tion as to when the next shipment of
the book is expected and also a space
in which students may sign their
names for priority.
for with the margin as slight as it
is actual power will be wielded by the
coed members of the legislature when
ever voting splits on party lines, as it
did on the additional polling places
bill. And without coed backing SP
legislators would not be able to over
ride a veto by the Student Body Presi
dent, at present a UP member.
Women Ineligible?
Biggest riddle of the election has
grown out of the failure on the part
of most coed candidates to file cam
paign expenditure statements with
the elections board. According to
chairman Jabie Heyward, those "wo
men who neglected to account for
their expenses are technically in
eligible for election. But since dis
qualifying them would deprive the
coeds of practically all representa
tion in the student government, Hey
ward has witheld action on the mat
ter and will submit it to the Student
.Legislature at its nrst session m
See FINAL Page U
The conversion of Steele basement
into the booketeria displaced 44 men
who were living there. Some of these
men had been forced to move twice
during the quarter and one man had
moved three times. The housing of
fice placed a majority of the men
formerly in Steele basement in Nash
hall, Miller hall or the quonset huts.
A few moved to fraternity houses and
homes in town.
Ritchie, who will also run the booke
teria as a part of the Book Exchange,
expressed great optimism over the
plan. However, he stressed the im
portance of student cooperation say
ing that "only if each veteran co
operates, can we make sure that every
one gets his text! books without tedi
ous waiting."

Registration
Will Continue
About 200 Students
Remain Unregistered
By Earl Heffner
Only the dregs remain on another
hectic registration period this morn
ing with some 200 students still un
registered. Although Memorial Hall lines will

Edwin S. Inier last night urged
those unregistered to complete the

enrolled during the fall quarter, plus
those students who do not complete
their registration by closing time Sat

Fine for Attendance Failure
Upon opening of the winter quarter
on January 4, those classes to be at
tended are the ones that normally
would be met on Friday. Failure to
meet these classes will result in stu
dents being subjected to a fine of $5.00
a day and being placed on probation
for the entire winter quarter.
When they return, studeVi must
turn in their "Notice of Return Cards"
on the dates specified on the card in
order to be considered registered.

ing. Tarzan Settles Query;
Real Name Is Morriss
For nearly a month one problem
hexing DTH staffmen has been: "Just
whatinell is it? Morriss? MarifT?
Morffiss? Or Morif?"
To student football fans it didn't
really matter. The name was "Tar
zan" to them, the 270-pound hog-calling
champion. Budding newspaper
men, however, were hounded by pro
fessional ethics conscience. "Accuracy
must be preserved! A man's name is
sacred. It must be spelled correctly."
Consequently, research was begun.
State papers- were checked. Phone
calls were made. The result: Morriss.
Marriff. Morffiss. Morif. No two papers
spelled the name the same.
Heads whirled. The managing edi
tor stormed. Finally a card was sent
to the man in question. Today his
answer was received.
The card said:
"For your information my name
is Lath Morriss."
Staffmen, however, were not satis
fied. Said one reporter: "111 stick to
'Tarzan' ".
