Powerful Duke
In Loop Battle
By W. Horace Carter
Painstakingly drilled and keyed to
a fine pitch, Carolina's "White Phan
toms stack up against a favored Duke
team in Durham tonight for the first
annual classic with the Blue Devils in
the '44 season.
Traditionally arch rivals, the two
teams ran through light drills today
in a finai polishing up for the battle
that will, in all likelihood, determine
the Big Five and Southern conference
titles. Duke has been rated slight fa
vorites but Tar Heel backers are un
daunted and optimistic, following the
improved showing made by the Phan
toms in the last two games here.
Balance of Power
Team, results in games to date seem
to indicate a ; fairly evenly matched
balance of power with the Phantoms
having won eight games while drop
ping six and Duke, registering six wins
vhile losing eight. From a percentage
standpoint, this gives Carolina an edge
but the standings are not wholly in
dicative. Duke has played the harder of the
two schedules thus far, meeting the
potent Norfolk NAS team twice for
two losses and falling prey to Long Is
land University, one of the strongest
earns in the nation, 57-59 in Madison
Square Garden. Duke also nosed out
the Fort Bragg all-stars, who romped
over the Phants on two occasions.
- Yet, the Phatoms looked increasingly
strong in the last week's engagements,
apparently reaching a maximum of
efficiency. .
Lange Not Optimistic
Coach Lange still is not too hopeful,
however, and stated today "well need
10 piay just as last ana smart a game
as we played against Richmond and
State and then throw in some addi
tional cleverness if we expect to beat
Duke."
In home grown talent, Carolina has
a slight edge over the Duke squad with
Donnan, Stevenson, Altemose, Creticos,
Anderson, and Fitch, among others, but
the Devils have profited tremendously
through the acquisition of V-12
trainees, generally believed more so
than the Phants.
Carver Is Veteran
Gordon Carver is the only Duke vet
on the cosmopolite squad consisting of
Wright, Hyde, Bledsoe and Harner,
usual Duke starting quint.
Wright played for Tennessee's
Southeastern champs,- Bledsoe was all
Southeastern at Mississippi State,
Hyde starred at Georgetown and' Har
ner at Washington and Lee.' Captain
Mock, NC State, and Dewell, Southern
Methodist, are the only outsiders who
have started for the local five in recent
frays.
Mock Has 109
Bill Mock's 17-point splurge against
Richmond last Friday gave him the
local scoring lead with 109 points. Box
has 101, having dropped from the lead

V-5 Enlistments
Will Close Soon
Any student desiring to get into the
Naval V-5 program by March 1 must
have completed his enlistment by Jan
uary 31, according to a letter received
from Lt. Hartley of the Naval Officer
Procurement Station in Raleigh.
''We have been advised," wrota
Hartley, "that all high school gradu
i ates, including those in college, and all
high school seniors who will have
graduated by March 1, 1944, must get
into V-5 by January 31, 1944."
Designated Date . ,
This ruling does not mean, however,
that enlistments for V-5 will be dis
continued after January 31st. Only
those students who desire to enter the
program on March 1 must complete
their enlistment at the designated
date. Further applications for V-5
will continue to be accepted at any
time.
Students who would like to find out
about changes in occupational defer
ments and other revisions in military
rulings are asked to see Dr. W. D.

Co-ed Senate
Will Act On
Point System
The Coed Senate will meet next week
to decide as to the revision, abolish
ment, or continuation of the restric
tive Coed Point System.
After having called for an investi
gation of the Valkyries in an attempt
to view campus opinion among coeds,
the government group will be faced
with the aged problem when it meets
a week from Wednesday.
Varied opinions were voiced at the
Valkyrie investigation, in which Mary
Lou Truslow, Speaker of the Women'?
Senate, "called for the abolishment of
the system as a law, but its continu
ance, on a more liberal basis, as a
guide for new coeds when choosing the
type and amount of extra-curricular
activities in which they plan to partici
pate, i
Many of the women present at the
meeting expressed the opinion that if
the point system were abolished, an
advisory board would be necessary to
prevent coed leaders from taking on
more work than they could handle.
Lucy Lee Kennedy, president of the
CICA, stated that she did not see that
a restrictive system was necessary,
that Carolina women were fully mature
enough to regulate their own activi
ties according to their time and abil
ity. Opie Charters, member of the PU
Board and Editor of the Carolina
Mag, objected to the restriction of wo
men members in publications in coed
government. "That sort of thing," she
said, "would hamper them in their re
lations to the campus. The fact that
our women in publications can partici
pate in campus government is what
makes them valuable."
Definite Action ' . '
After hearing a report on the Valky
rie investigation, the Coed Senate will
take definite action on the issue next
week. Any serious change in the Point
System will come before the vote of the
Coeds in spring elections, in the form
of a Constitutional Amendment.
Continuing in the belief that facts
should be brought before the public
with a fair discussion of all points
involved, the Tar Heel today brings
forth another report on the sanitary
conditions of some of the eating es
tablishments in Chapel Hill.
Since the beginning of our ' cam
paign, which .we believe to have
awakened student interest, we have
been asked time and time again
what we expect to gain by it. We
had hoped in the beginning to place
the facts before the public eye, in
hopes that those at fault, once aware
of what improvements , could be
made, would work toward making
those improvements. Unfortunate
ly, little action has been taken by
the restaurants. They have remain
ed dormant as to even the .most ob
vious of improvements, they have
answered none of our questions or
challenges. The University admin
istration, annoyed by some of our
probings, have now assumed a some

Army Department Terms
ASTP Demise
The Army Specialized Training Pro
gram is not in the process of liquida
tion, according to a War Department
announcement issued to the Tar Heel
by Lt. Fletcher Cook, Public relations
officer of the ASTP unit here. This
announcement contradicts reports
which have appeared in several of the
nation's newspapers.
"The number of soldiers in the Pro
gram will depend, in the future, as in
the past, on the actual needs of the
Arms and Services," the release stated.
At the present time there are approxi
mately 140,000 soldiers in the training
program.
Secretary of War Stimson explained
the set-up by saying: "The number of
soldiers assigned for training under
the ASTP will be changed from time
to time so as to accord with the needs
of the Army and the available man
power. It is now being somewhat re
duced, but may later be either in
creased or still further reduced as the
needs of the military situation or mili
tary training make advisable."

Daniel
In 1940 Daniel went to Europe in
search of war, but so far he has seen
it from behind a typewriter. Last
week he loosed his shackles; he re
signed his position with AP to join the
foreign staff of the New York Times
in London. After three years of prep

tlefront. After graduating from Carolina
Daniel worked for over three years on
the Raleigh News and Observer, where
he gained experience in political re
porting. His job with AP began at the
New York Bureau in 1939. But war
was brewing in those days and the Tar

activities.

time, the size of future quotas enter

This situation Cc.nnot be remedied and

The first grou j of ASTP men began
their training in April 1943 and the

For nine months he worked in the

Pinkley . .
Few correspondents since the out

fighting fronts as Virgil Pinkley, who
is now in this country for a series of
pre-invasion conferences with news
executives of United Press.
Before he was appointed European
general manager of United Press last
summer he took an active and direct
part in war front coverage, particu
larly during the Tunisian and Sicilian
campaigns.
North Africa
His assignment to North Africa was
preceded by a tour of inspection of UP
news gathering and news transmission
facilities which carried him around the
world, over a route of 68,000 miles
through 22 countries. On this trip he
spent six weeks in India and inter
viewed Ghandi and other leaders. At
the start of the British drive in '41 he

Group Holds
First Session
Of Winter Term
By Sam Whitehall
The Student Legislature will attempt
to solve the omnipresent problem of
campus voting requirements Thursday
evening, at its first session of the
winter quarter, Speaker Reid Thomp
son announced yesterday.
The legislative body will, at that
time, discuss the status of the ASTP
as to campus suffrage and the revision
of the residence requirement, which
Kmits voting on campus issues to per
sons spending at least six months
residence at Carolina. The previous
peace time elections presented no such
problem as that which faces the Legis
lature this year since they were in
variably held during the spring quar
ter, before which time practically the
entire student body had spent more
than six months in residence;
Handicap
Today, however, with the orientation
of freshmen at various times during
the year, the entrance of new V-12
members every four months, and the
possibility of the ASTP vote, the resi
dence requirement, as it stands, would
offer a handicap in the securing of a
representative vote.
The legislative branch of our student
government will open discussion on
proposed changes in the V-12 repre
sentation to the group. The changes
will be proposed in an attempt to re
vise the Navy membership so as to be
more in keeping with conditions in
V-12 housing as they now exist.
Unrepresentative
During the summer term, Navy
trainees elected 13 representatives to
the Legislature. The membership has
proven entirely out of proportion due
to the fact that many houses, with
comparatively a small number of resi
dents, have twice, and even three
times, as many representatives as
many dormitories, housing upwards of
200 trainees.
It will be suggested at the Thursday
meeting that a committee be appointed
for the codification of past Legislature
bills. This proposal answers the need
for accurate and immediate reference
to old legislative action, so necessary
during these times when many of the
old bills are being found incapable of
handling a war-time campus.
Recent Action
The Legislature, although not in
session during the last five weeks, has
recently completed arrangements for a
Medical School Student Council, estab
lished to handle honor cases from the
Medical School, and for the absolute
control over coed visiting privileges by
the House Privileges Board. Shortly
before adjournment in the fall, the
group also completely abolished the
Town Council. ,
