Draft Check
Cut In M
ale
Less Than 100 4-F's Matriculated;
New Regulations Change Quota
A analysis of winter quarter enrollment in consideration of new draft
regulations indicates a sharp cut in civilian men at Carolina in the future
During the winter quarter there were 477 men old enough to come under
Selective Service regulations. Since less than 100 of this group are poten
tially 4-F, nearly 400 are subject to Selective Service. Students 18 years of
age anu ueiow totaled 3UU, with 188
below 18. -Cuts
Number
New draft regulations will cut the
number of students 18 and below se
verely, since quotas for chemistry,
physics and pre-med amount to only
60. As the new regulations operate
enrollment will be pushed down un
less new sources are tapped.
The War Department in the near
future is going to make a concentrat
ed effort to recruit up to 100,000 re
serves below the age of 18 to enter
college under War Department super
vision. Unless Carolina is designated
for that purpose severe reduction will
take place in the number of students
below the age of 18.

Dr. Graham Outlines Stand
On Post-War Nazi Question
Finds No Place
For Antagonism
North Carolina's guide . in liberal
thought, Dr. Frank P. Graham, presi
dent of the University and member of
the War Labor Board, has outlined his
four point stand concerning the popu-:
lar question of what should be done to
Germany following the armistice.
Dr. Graham's plans for the post-war
handling of the Nazi nation follows
much the same lines as those outlined
by Senator J. W. Bailey and former
Governor Clyde R. Hoey, both of whom
have been queried about their opinions
on the international issue.
No Place for Hate
In stating his stand, Dr. Graham sees
no place -in the after-war control of
Germany either for revenge or hate,
but like Bailey and Hoey, insists on
decisive action to protect world peace.
The four .step Graham program fol
lows: "In answer to your question as to
what to do with Germany, it is my
opinion that, we should:
"(1) Decisively defeat the German
army and overthrow the Nazi regime
in Germany.
"(2) Disarm Germany.
"(3) Provide the democratic pro
cesses by which the German people
can set up their own democratic con
stitution for self government.
"(4) As soon as practicable include
the German people within the inter-

, Lt. Raymond ' (Bear) Wolf, head
football coach at Carolina who is on
leave with the Navy, has released the
Athletic Council from his contract
in order to permit the University "to
supplement its war-depleted staff and
continue a creditable football pro
gram." The announcement was made last
night by Athletic Director R. A. Fet
zer, following a meeting of the Coun
cil, which accepted Mr. Wolfs "gen
erous action" with a tribute to his
"fine work" and "keen regrets" over
his loss.
"I realize the uncertainty as to the
duration of the war," Coach Wolf
t wrote. "I also appreciate the critical
situation which confronts the Ath
letic Council, and am agreeable to
releasing the University from any
obligation on account of the leave
granted to me.
"I have been happy at Chapel Hill
and regret to sever my relations with
the University,". Coach Wolf con
tinued, f'but under existing circum
stances it seems to me the fairest
thing to do. I highly value my con
nection with the University and the
friendships I have established there."
Coach Wolf's action clears the way.
for the Athletic Council to consider
a head coach for next fall. The mat
ter of a successor was referred to the
Football Committee with a request
to report to the Council at the earliest
possible date. t
Lieutenant Wolf, who came here
from Texas Christian in 1936, enlist
ed in the Navy after the 1941 season
here and was commissioned a lieu
tenant. Jim Tatum moved up to act
ing coach in 1942 and Tom Young in
1943. Both these men are also on
leaves with the Navy now.
Lieutenant Wolf served as head
coach of the great Georgia Pre-Flight
, eleven in 1942. During the past year
he was director of physical fitness at
the Pre-Pre-Flight School at the Uni

Russian Born S. Berman Xatched
University Grow From Infancy
By Mildred Johnson
Russian born S. Berman likes the
friendly atmosphere and people of
Chapel Hill. Mr. Berman left his
father's flax business and Russia under
the rule of the Czar in 1907 and made
his journey to America, reaching Chap
el Hill seven years later.
A cousin in Wilmington, N. C, in
duced him to leave his job in the cut
tery shop in New York and establish
a mercantile business in the Eastern
Carolina town. The business was fine
but the weather and the malaria were
terrible for a young man about to be
married, and with hopes of establish
ing a home.
Disbands Business
Thus a year later Berman disbanded
his business, packed his bags and jour
neyed to Durham where he established
his mercantile business and was mar
ried. The business was again fine but
the atmosphere was not a friendly one
and customers were not friends; so
Berman again disbanded his business,
packed his bags and satisfied his wan
derlust. Chapel Hill was his next stop and
contrary to his plans, it was here that
his peregrinations terminated. At this

Wiggins Wants
Preservation
Of Enterprise
Lee Wiggins of Hartsville, S. C,
President of the American Banker's
Association talked turkey to the mem
bers of Carolina Political Union and
their gueses in Graham Memorial
Lounge Sunday night.
Choosing "Private, Enterprise" as
the subject of his talk, Mr. Wiggins
briefly reviewed the whole composi
tion of the economic order, from the
place of labor in organized society to
Government deficit financing.
Banker Defense
Mr. Wiggins opened his discussion
with an affable defense of the modern
banker of today pointing out that
Shakespeare's Shylok was no anal
ogy with the professional banker of
today; and pointing out that ninety
percent of the banks fall into the
category of "small business."
Defining private enterprise as the
right of the individual to carve his
own destiny, and to choose within
limits his place in society, Mr. Wig
gins presented the problem of a floor
and a ceiling on income. A floor, he
contended was desirable and neces
sary, but not a ceiling, the opposite
for the setting of a boundary on in
come, made human endeavor stop at
a point immediately below the ceiling.
Private enterprise cannot exist with
out competition, and this competition
must exist in all fields of endeavor.
He further pointed out that the gov
ernment must regulate all monopo
lies and eliminate all those that are
not "natural," such as public utilities.
Mr. Wiggins defined the closed union
shop as a form of monopoly.

time Chapel Hill could boast no brick
store buildings and only a small uni
versity with a few students in a small
undeveloped country village. He- es
tablished his mercantile business in an
old frame building located at the pres
ent site of the Texaco station.

Summer School
Requests received from prospec
tive summer students indicate a sum
mer session as large or larger than
the one held last year, according to
its director Guy Phillips.
Requests from undergraduate men
and women and from teachers de
termine a good index of the coming
summer's enrollment. Last year by
March 15, letters from 517 persons
desiring information had been re
ceived. This year that number had
increased to 598.
The catalogue of courses to be of
fered during the summer session has

Varied Campus Opinions Expressed
In First 'Gallop' Event Since 1942
By Jimmy Wallace
The Carolina Political Union poll on Student Government held throughout
last week rolled up a total of 506 votes as the campus expressed its opinion
by this method for the first time in two years.
Numbering eleven questions, the poll forms were distributed in all the civil
ian dormitories, in coed residences picked at random, and in representative
V-12 rooming centers. The Gallup
ASTP Heads
Say Program
In Abeyance
No date has been set in either
Washington or Atlanta for conclu
sion of the ASTP unit here, accord
ing to University authorities. There
is an increasing likelihood, it is
thought, that the Carolina unit may
be allowed to complete its term which
is over May 7. ,
An Army order issued last month
scheduled the transfer of some
110,000 specialized training troops
from college campuses to combat fields
by April 1, unless the exigencies of
war altered the situation. Only ad
vanced courses in medicine, dentistry
and engineering were left unaffected.
Army Short
This decision was reached because
the Army is 200,000 men short of its
goals. The High Command wanted
7,700,000 men in uniform by the end
of 1943, but it only got 7,500,000. Ac
cordingly, 110,000 men from colleges
will be transferred and reassigned.
The - Army Specialized Training
Program was organized by the Army
Dec. 17, 1942. At present there are
145,000 men assigned to ASTP. The
recent order withdrawing 110,000 men
affects some 220 colleges and univer
sities in the country, some of which
will lose their entire Army comple
ment of students.
Army, Navy Tests
Army and Navy officials will be on
hand tonight at 8:30 in Gerrard Hall
to discuss subjects embodied in the
A-12 and V-12 Army and Navy tests.
All aspirants for this training should
attend the meeting tonight. The A-12
candidates must attend and V-12's are
privileged if they so desire.
The actual tests will be given Wed
nesday night at 9:00 in Bingham Hall,
room 103. This test is for both the A-12
and V-12 candidates.

This coming issue promises to be one
of the best ever published at Carolina.
It will contain the winning short story
and poem of the Carolina Mag Con
test, but the names of the winning au
thors will be withheld until the day of
publication. Each of the winners will
receive a cash prize of $2.50 for their
contributions.

four seasons.
Series of Pix
A series of pictures telling the story
of the production of "Twilight Zone,"
an original play written by Tom Avera
and Foster Fitz-Simons and recently
produced by the Carolina Playmakers
should prove to be an interesting

goes into the making of a play. The
pictures will show the students at the
scene, lighting and sound effects, the
play in review, a scene from the final
production and other shots of interest.
The photography work for this story

quently by the organization before
the war, netted "startling results"
with regards to the proposed divi
sion of the student council and the
legislature.
Cross Section
For the first time since discussion
began on student government ceasing
to exist for the duration, campus
leaders have now been provided with
a cross-sectional viewpoint. Along
with the actual opinions expressed in
the poll, comments and suggestions
were prevalent with the main question
among V-12 students being: "why
doesn't someone print some dope on
the set-up so we can find out what is
going on?" Civilian comment ranged
from: "I am fed up with Carolina
politics," to "The time for experimen
tation is past. The time for action is
here."

The following is a complete tabula
tion of the final votes :
1. Are you in favor of retaining
the present form of student govern
ment on the campus? Civilians: Yes
