NEWS EDITORIALS The Food Ship Gates Open Wide Price Investigation War Fond Campaign V-12 Trimester Kappa Sig Case' volume lii w c k -rfr tSt Second s- Officials Plan Full Program Of Orientation Carolina's V-12 contingent begins classwork for its second trimester here , today. In the Navy-Marine group are 1 310 new men, including approximately 30 from the fleet, and 11 Marines, re- ( placing the graduates and approxi mately 125 failures who left atjthe end of the first Navy session - last week, Captain W. S. Popham, V-12 head, said yesterday. The total number of V-12 students is now 1310, an increase of about 30. In accordance with the Navy plan of progressively diminishing V-12 Ma rines, the number of Marines has drop ped from 315 to 220. The Navy V-12s on the other hand have increased and will increase proportionately each tri mester as the Marines decrease. Va cancies in Battle-Vance caused by the smaller number of Marines have been filled by Navy V-12 students. i Pre-Class Program All V-12 students had reported by Monday night, received quarters, bed ding and uniforms, Popham said. Phy sical exams, including anti-typhoid and cow pox innoculations were held this morning and yesterday morning. Regis tration was completed yesterday after noon and classes began today. . At an orientation program given for all new V-12 students in Memorial Hall last night at 7:30, Captain Pop ham and University heads welcomed the incoming students. Capt. Popham then outlined the plans and policies of the V-12 program at Carolina, and presented his staff. : - ' - Academic Council Because most of the new V-12 men are on the freshman level a special academic council has been set up, com posed of Dr. William Wells, Dr. J. L. Godfrey and Dr. D. S. Klaiss. Total number of, upper college elec tives open to V-12 students this tri-! mester has been increased by 35 over those offered last term. The most not- able increases are, five additional Art courses, four in Journalism, three in ' music, English, history, dramatic art, political science ana socioiugy aim one i in mUSlC. Opinion on Failures Both the Navy and tha administra tion are "pleased over the small num ber of failures during the last term, considering the high standards which must be maintained for the Navy." The cases of the 125 failures and those of other students who were on the aca-' demic borderline were "carefully con- sidered by a special committee. Every trainee who had a questionable case had a chance to appear before this com- mittee, and no men were sent away without due hearings." Sickness was the main factor taken into considera- tion by the committee. "We are entering the new term," Guy B. Phillips said yesterday, "with full determination to give the best in struction possible and 'to decrease the number of failures."

'He's just about "the happiest individual in the world. Well, I felt exactly like that little dog when I arrived in New York." That was the comment of First Lieutenant Richard Worley to a group of Carolina acquaintances over the past'' weekend. Back in the United States ! after nine months of aerial combat duty -in the Mediterranean theater, Worley brings with him, among other things, the Air Medal, three Silver Stars and seven Oak Leaf Clusters. Furthermore, he's much the same Worley that left here ten days after Pearl Harbor to enlist in the Army Air Corps. game Features TTo c11 walks liVf th famnns col ored movie actor Stephen Fetchit. Across his face comes that same gleam that he possessed when he sponsored Sadie Hawkins Day on the Carolina campus two years ago. His eyes still seem to want to stay half closed. That sense of humor for which he was famous is as it was. Lieut. Worley, or "Fish" as he was known here, says nothing much has happened to him since he's been in the service. Rather than tell you about his , recent exploits, he'd rather talk about that Sadie Hawkins Day or some of I the other happy moments he has spent in Chapel Hill. j But the medals speak for him. The s Air Medal is awarded for "meritorious achievement while on (five) sorties against the enemy," and each Oak Leaf Cluster represents similar meritorious achievement on five additional sorties. He thus has been on 40 successful sor ties, and his various missions total more than 60. He has been through the Tunisian, Pantellerian, Sicilian, and Italian campaigns. The Naples raids were the toughest he has experienced in all his nine months' fighting, he said. "We were supposed to be above the low-range 'flak,' and below the high-rang5 but it certainly managed to come through." His first mission was on January 3, and he smilingly remarked that "we didn't get there." He went on to ex plain that "when we got to the pur suit field to pick up our escort, the field was being dive-bombed by the en emy, and we had to turn around and go back home." A bomber's primary func tion, of course, is not to engage enemy aircraft, but to bomb objectives and get the ship safely back. ' Asked about how many enemy air craft were shot down by his ship, the smiling Lieutenant didn't answer. On the first few raids, he said, one nat- , day's work. When someone asked him how often he went on a mission ne saia Serving Civilian and Military Students at UNC CHAPEL HILL, N. C.f WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1943 mpan hasn't seen its master in a long time ? that his ship was out 10 times during j ments to the Student council. Earl Par July. ; (due and Sammy Fray were the men Under army policy, crews of B-26 i bombers are returned to this country for leaves after having engaged in 40 sorties, and Lt. Worley's is the first B-26 group in the Mediterranean the ater to win visits home under the rule. The necessity for such a policy is easy to see when it is considered that Fish's combat hours total 211. That's ap proximately nine days and nights of air fighting. After his last mission on September 7, Lieut. Worley returned to this coun try by ship, and after several days in New York and a stop in Washington, he arrived at his home in Asheville. Fish was commissioned a second lieutenant on August 5, 1942, and was promoted to first lieutenant in June of this year. He is eligible to become a captain today. , ' A fellow like Fish' Worley is "a good tonic for the scores of Carolina stu dents stationed on battlefields through out the world." While in school, here, he was a basketball star, Exchequer of the Order of the Grail, Director of Graham Memorial, and last but not least, "one of the better politicians." He had a spirit about him that made people want to know him. He liked everyone, treated them all alike. The janitor in Saunders was just as much his friend as Dr. Graham. ' That was the Fish Worley who left Carolina two years ago, the same Fish j Worley who came back here last week- en WGA Schedules Test Next Week Compulsory WGA examinations for all new coeds will be held Monday and Tuesday nights in the WGA room on the second floor of Graham Memorial. From seven to eight o'clock on Mon day night, it will be given to the women from Alderman dormitory; to Mclver residents from eight to nine o'clock. New coeds in Archer house and town will report for the test on Tuesday night at seven o'clock. Women from Spencer will take the exam from eight to nine; those in Kenan from ninet to ten o'clock.

Outgoing-Speaker Terrell Webster, AS, V-12, traveled to Chapel Hill from his station at Norfolk to formally in stall the new Speaker. New Bills 1 Main business of the session was the charting of action the legislature must take in the following months. Bills to come on the floor in the near future will deal with the PU board, the Fees bill, House Privileges board, Town council, eligibility for voting and codification of past legislature laws. Representatives of the organization installed last night were Mary Jane Lloyd, town; Margaret Pickard, town; Charlie Vance, town; William McNeely, Steele; John T. Gregory, Carr; Jack Folger, V-12 and Marshall Parker, V-12. Webster Speech In his final speech to the legislature, Webster noted that it has and is facing the most crucial period in its history. Decisions that its membership makes during the coming months will decide the success, or failure of student gov ernment at Carolina, only V-12 school in the country with an active student government. Coordination of the cam pus is becoming more difficult daily, he pointed, and the legislature must help in fighting decentralization. Other business taken up at the meet ing was the approval of two appoint- named to serve on the council by Pres- ident Denny Hammond. Venable 206 Chosen For Tuesday V-12 Test V-12 exams, the first step in enlist ing in the V-12 program, will be given to 130 students in room 206 Venable Tuesday morning from 9 to 12 o'clock. Deadline for applications for the ex am, has been extended to 5 o'clock Monday afternoon, November 8, Dr. W. D. Perry announced yesterday. All students taking the exam will be excused from morning classes, said Perry. The exam room will be open at 8:30 and students are urged to come as soon as possible so that the roll may be taken. No applications are necessary for entrance into the examination if they have been previously filed in Dr. Perry's office. Chapel Hill Ordinance Forces Kappa Sigs To Vacate New Fraternity House in Town Greeks Must Get Petition Signed The Kappa Sigs were moved from their "duration" fraternity house on Patterson Place this week because of a Chapel Hill zoning ordinance which restricts boarding, rooming . and fra ternity houses in a residential district. Threatened by a fine of $50 per day, the Kappa Sigs no longer are able to use the house for fraternity headquar ters. The four boys who roomed in the house were permitted to stay, however, by the Board of Aldermen. Chapel Hill is divided into three zones: restricted areas, conditional areas and non-restricted areas. In a conditional area 'like Patterson Place 80 per cent of the residents -must sign a petition permitting any cooperative or rooming houses. The Kappa Sigs will have to secure a petition signed by that number of people on Patterson Place or appeal their case to the Board of Aldermen be- lore xney wui De permineu w, use we Editorial: F-JIU.

Experimentals Set for Friday Proff Koch To Read Shakespeare Sunday The Playmakers will present the first fall group of Experimental plays on Friday night at 7:30 in the Play maker theater. The bill, 92nd in the group's history, will include three one act plays written in Proff Koch's playwriting class. The program should provide an interesting contrast in student-written plays. Kech Reading ' Koch will give his famous mono- dramatic reading of Shakespeare's "Taming of the Shrew" at the Play maker Theater next Sunday night at 8:30. This will be a historic occasion as it was with this play that Mr. Koch started on his dramatic career. The first is a comedy-drama of to day, "There's . Always Morning by ( Kay Kyser scholarship winner Dave Hanig. Hanig's "Give Us Time To Sing" was also produced by the Play makers in one of last year's experi mentals. It has been recently published in a collection of one-act plays. The second play was written by Tom Avera of Rocky Mount, N. C. It is titled "Listen My Children," and deals with the problems that face post-war America. Final production of the evening is "Lovingly, Gay," a wartime comedy by Gwen London of Charlotte. As in previous years Proff Koch will introduce the three playwrights and invite criticism and suggestions from the audience. The experimentals have traditionally been the medium through which the writers on campus have been given a chance to get their work pro duced for audience. Admission is free. However, season ticket holders have first choice of seats. house for the fraternity as a whole. In a letter to the citizens of Chapel Hill Denny Hammond, V-12, president of the interfraternity council, sought the aid of townspeople in suspending the ordinance for the duration. "Last spring the University Admin istration asked that the twenty social fraternities rent . their houses to the University for the duration in order that the University might care for large numbers of Naval and Army trainees. "Naturally the fraternities then sought to get smaller places in town. Because of tremendously crowded conditions, only a few were available in the districts unrestricted to fra ternity houses. "Most of the fraternity boys of to day will be on the battle fields of to morrow. We earnestly believe that the people of Chapel Hill will be willing to share some inconvenience for the sake of the boys who wish to preserve their fraternities, even though they themselves may not come back.

The student drive will be chair maned by Miss Julia Weed and Turk Newsome, sponsored by Pug Upchurch and Denny Hammond, V-12, and directed by Harry Comer. Com mittees to aid in campaigning for funds will be appointed by the end of the week. Two Week Campaign In one huge two week campaign the War Relief Fund combines the various appeals of 17 charitable agencies which aid. on the military, United Nations and home fronts. No other drive will be conducted on campus this year, ex cept the annual Red Cross roll call in March. The campaign in Chapel Hill, headed by Collier Cobb and J. T. Gobbel, began last Monday, but the campus one was postponed until the beginning of the new V-12 trimester. Chapel Hill's part of Orange Coun ty's quota of $8,472 is $5,000 in the na tional drive. The local chest added three items to the list which raises the figure to $6,500. Three hundred dollars will go to the Girl Scouts, $400 to the Boy Scouts and $800 to the Service Cen ter, which is a local organization not connected with the national USO. Pre-Flight Separate Controller Billy Carmichael, in co operation with pre-flight officers, is or ganizing a separate war fund drive for pre-flight cadets. Last year the Campus War Chest collected $2,450 in student contribu tions. In urging all students to give liberally in order to top last year's goal Chairman Turk Newsome said, "We can't all fight, we won't all suffer but we can all give." Organizations Benefiting The 17 national organizations com bined in the United War Relief Fund drive are, the USO, United Seaman's Service, War Prisoners Aid, Belgian War Relief Society, British War Re lief Society, French War Relief Fund, Friends of Luxembourg, Greek War Relief Association, Norwegian Relief, Polish War Relief, Queen Wilhelmina Fund, Russian War Relief, United China Relief, United Czecho-Slovak Relief, United Yugoslav Relief, Refu gee Relief Trustees and the U. S. Com mittee Care of European Children. Hammond Sends Letter to Town "We believe that fraternities realize the seriousness of the present situa tion. The University Administration has had no complaints whatsoever from residents of the town during the past several months that fraternity conduct has been loud or disorderly. "A house rented to a fraternity provides rooms for more people than a house rented to private individuals and families. Thus, cooperation with fraternities in getting rooming quar ters will also help the housing short age. "We feel that fraternities have con tributed a great deal to the. financial and business life of Chapel Hill. They pay enormous taxes to the town, coun ty and state. They serve primarily boys who have just a little time left be fore going to war. We trust that you will support our petition to the Board of Aldermen to suspend the zoning or dinance for the duration."
