VOLUME LX
Disappointing Crowd Sends
Team Off; 800; Tar Heel
Rooters Expected For Game
By O. Mac White
A measly crowd of about 75
students turned out at , Woollen
Gym yesterday afternoon to' send
their win-wanting football team
deep into the heart of Texas.
The team boarded busses at 1
p.m. and caught a plane at Raleigh-Durham
airport at 2:15 p.m.
for Austin.
Duff ield Smith, president of the
University" Club, requested all
students to make up for this poor
showing by signing the telegram
to the. team. This may be done
by coming to the table in the Y
court any time today. The cost
"will be one dime , to defray the
expenses. ..-. -, : :
In a statement to The Daily Tar
Heel on the size of the rally,
Smith reported one of the players
as saying "There sure aren't
many people here, are there?-'
- Smith also remarked, "Cy Min-
-ett and 1 thought that the rally
-this afternoon would give every
one a chance to come down and
show their team that they were
. behind" them all the way, win,
really showed them."
It is expected that the crowd
of Carolina rooters at the game
will be small. However, Vernon
Crook, director of the University
ticket office reported 'that about
. 800 tickets had been sold to stu
dents -arid alumni for the game.

T" The Navy may be in the lime
light again if the new head of the
Naval ROTC unit here has any
thing to say about it.
I Captain John S. Keating, for
mer commander of the world's
largest Naval training center and
now Captain of the Carolina Na
val ROTC, told his Midshipmen
a few days ago he hoped "this
unit will be' the finest in the
- country." During World War II
Navy men swarmed the campus
while in the Pre-flight, V-12,
NROTC, and other training pro-
grams. Chapel Hill became prom
inent in military circles because
of its high position as a Naval
center.
While at Great Lakes, I1L,
Keating led 30,000 men, including
700 officers, and had four com-
" mands under him the boot train
ing program, 11 service schools,
a Marine command, and the ad-
" ministrative command. And he en
joyed the job because, as he says,
"any duty where you take a young
' boy from civilian life and . mold
him into a real Navy man gives
you. a nTniciiuAJno tictuu&
isfaction."
Perhaps his most interesting
duly while in the - Atlantic and
the Mediterranean during World
War II was escorting President
Roosevelt, to Yalta. His destroyer
squadron, led by the cruiser UU
S.S. Murphy,, was. also desitad
to go to Saudi Arabia to take

planes.
Carolina headquarters in Aus

Minett stated that if there were
enough Carolina supporters in
Austin Saturday morning that he
would stage some sort of pep
rally.
Minett is leaving by plane to
day for Austin with Zane Rob
bins, Daily Tar Heel sports writ
er, and four members of the foot
ball team, the head manager, and
the trainer. These members of
the team were left behind because
of lack of space on the plane yes

To Frosh: Jefferies
A freshman who did not get
any rush bids may still go through
rushing, Ray Jefferies announced
yesterday.
These men may fill out requests
with the IFC representatives in
Gerrard Hall today. They may
specify two fraternities that they
wish to be rushed by, and the
request will be submitted to the
rushing chairmen of these frater
nities. : '
King Ibn Saud to meet Roosevelt
on the high seas. While aboard,
the King was safeguarded by 40
Arabs and had sheep killed daily,
for "the benefit of his ''personnel.
The Murphy looked somewhat dif
ferent from ; the usual run, of
cruisers while the Arab king was
aboard, the Captain relates. Rich
colored oriental rugs were laid
across the entire deck and a huge
tent covered the forecastle.
Keating was later commended
by Roosevelt. In a short message,
Roosevelt said, "The crew of the
Murphy will live forever in the
annals of the U. S. Navy." t
After the war, Keating went to
China as a Naval advisor for the
Marshall Mission. He . organized
an almost extinct Chinese Na
tionalist Navy into an efficient
sea-going outfit with 55 ships, 300
officers, and good morale. The
Chinese decorated him twice.
Also included" in his Navel ac
tivities was command of the light
cruiser, U.S.S. Manchester and
commander of the Sonar School
in Key West, Fla. ;
A graduate of Annapolis in
1923, Captain Keating was born

"We're, trying ? to help the
American people find answers to
the problems we face. We have
responsibility because the world
looks to Us as leaders," explained
George V. Denny, moderator of
America's Town Meeting of the
Au in an interview shortly be
fore he left for Asheville by plane
after a short visit here yesterday.
The meetings serve to stimu
late audiences to -thing honestly
and objectively," Denny contin
ued. The town meeting show,
heard: over 277 . stations weekly,
is currently on tour. It will
broadcast from Pinehurst next
week, Boston the following week,
then from Illinois with Sen. Paul
Douglas speaking, and then back
south from Johnson City, Term.
The town meetmg forum was
held in Durham Tuesday night
with the subject of McCarthysim
debated by two Congressmen.
Denny hopes that local town
meeting forums will, spring up
once again as they did previous to
World War II. There are five
town meeting programs in foreign
; nations, independent of the Amer
ican organization, Denny said
Canada, Australia, the Phillipines
and Japan all have forums debat
ing local and world questions.
Denny pointed out that -the na
tional group can only act as a
stimulating agency to get people
to set up a meeting on a' local
level. ; But civic-minded citizens
have formed such town meetings
and they'have been very success
ful, he added.
f Asked if the Town Meeting
would be a success in Chapel Hill,
Denny said it would and pointed
out: that Town Meeting was here
in 1937 and 38 with cohimist
Dorothy ' Thompson and the late
Senator Josiah' Bailey among the
debators.

The Chancellor refused to re
cognize the group before him as
representatives ; of the student
body, and before the group left,
it admitted that it represented or
ganizations which composed only
a segment of the student body.
The delegation reprsenting
church groups, student legis
lature; and the Monogram Club
came to House to present a uni
form resolution adopted by their
organizations and individual or
ganization resolutions which were
initiated by the first.
L-The Chancellor accepted them
and assured "in good faith that
they will be transmitted to Presi
dent Gordon Gray."
House, in reference to a state
ment issued from Student Body
President Henry Bowers, indi
cated that he understood the stu
dents felt insulted because of the
policy, and inquired as to why
this feeling should exist.
As Bowers was not present to
speak for himself, Ed Stevens, UP
legislator and band drum major,
answered for him, "We feel in
sulted because it seems the ad
ministration did not think us com
petent tqjjope with the situation."
It was pointed out by Student
Attorney General Bob Evans that

Display Contest Planned
For H omecommg Weekend
An important part of the an
nual homecoming weekend festi
ities at the University will be
missing when the Carolina-South
Carolina football game time rolls
around a week from tomorrow.
University Club President Duf
field Smith announced yesterday
that the homecoming, display
contest, normally sponsored an
nually by the University Club,
will not be held as a part of next
weekend's "Welcome Alumni"
frolics.
The decision was reached at a
Monday night meeting held' by
the University Club in Roland
Parker Lounge in Graham Mem
orial. - ' ,
It was at this time that the or
ganization was notified by Lu
cille Best, president of the Pan
Hellenic Council, that all sorori
ties had voted not to participate
in the contest due to rushing acti
vities, which will be going on next
week.
Several fraternity representa
tives at the meeting expressed
the same views for their organi
zations. r- s . , :

the , students were not even con
sulted in the matter.
"Not only were you not consult
ed," said House, "you were not
even considered." He saw no
reason that the students should
be insulted as they played no part
in the decision. .
Negro admissions did not come
about through student initiative,
he said. They came from above.
he explained. "This thing comes
down through the United States
he said, "then through the State,
the Trustees, and only then is
transferred to the students." .
p He emphasized that in this
Southern society Negro social
equality can not be accomplished
overnight and that m the long
run conservative action will ac
complish the purpose with less re
percussion than immediate "abo
lition." ..
He asked the group to stay "or
ganized, and if you wish to keep
working with the Dean of Stu
dents and with the Negro stu
dents, keep on. For I d'on't think
these resolutions will accomplish
your purposes."
The group took his advice, and
after the conference, met in the
YMCA and issued the following
I statement:
"We have issued the statements
(the resolutions) to Chancellor
House. He has told us that he
will take them to the president.
We feel confident that through
continued cooperation between
the student body and the admin
istration, a more wholesome pol
icy can be reached and we will
work in this fate."
tained that only the dorms parti
cipate in the contest, but this was
opposed by dormitory represent
atives due to the fact that dorm
residents would also be involved
in the rushing activities.
After much discussion the Club
voted out having the display con
test as a part of the annual home
coming weekend. Tentative plans
leave a possibility that the dis
play eontest -may be held either
on the Tennessee or Notre Dame
weekend.
If it is not hid at one of the
above timse, the club will re
possess the winner's cups from
last year's victorious organiza-
tions , and keep them until next
year.
"The Club regrets very much
haying to delay or call off com
pletely the annual affair," Smith
stated, "but we feel that it would
be only fair to those concerned to
postpone it until a later date or
not have it at all.
The next meeting of the Uni
versity Club will be held at 5
o'clock next Tuesday 5 afternoon
in Graham Memorial. 1 . : ' !
