THOMAS MALLISON, USN, who recently took over duties as V-12 commandant at the University. Tar Heel Skipper Comes B ack To Old Sailing Alumnus Gathers Many Adventures By M. R. Alexander He sailed around the world with the "Great White Fleet" when Teddy Roosevelt shook the "big stick" at Japan in 1908. He commanded the USS Jason and turned the ancient col lier into one of Uncle Sam's first air plane tenders. And he was engaged in convoy duty in both World War I and II. These are only a few of ,the high lights in the 38-year naval career of Captain W. Thomas Mallison, new commandant of the V-12 unit at Caro lina. In between, the new Tar Heel skipper sailed the seven seas for Uncle Sam in almost everything from a gunboat to a battleship and saw almost every type of service from survey parties to war patrols, including one tour of duty as naval attache at Rio de Janeiro and another as assistant district command ant at Great Lakes. Captain Mallison, who has made a splendid impression in his short time here, is also one of the score or so of men now in the navy who are grad uates of both the navy and army War Colleges. Native Carolinian He was born and raised in Little Washington where he was a member of an old and distinguished family. He also attended the university before re ceiving his appointment to Annapolis. Summer Rushing Adds 55 New Men To Fraternities Gid Gilliam, president of the Inter- j fraternity council, released yesterday a list of the 55 freshmen pledged to Carolina fraternities this session.

T., Jr., took graduate work here for a time. Both are now officers on battleships. r . , "It is good to be back in my home state and alma mater," Captain Malli son commented today, "and particu larly in my capacity with the V-12 unit at Carolina. "The navy recognized from the out set that one of the most vital needs f or winning the war was trained per sonnel," he continued. "Before I re ceived orders to report here, I heard a number of fine things in navy circles about this joint navy-university train ing program, and my first few weeks of observation here have borne them out in full." Every inch an officer, he is a 'bear for work and a stickler for regulations. However, his abilities as an adminis trator and leader are enriched by good common sense, long and. varied experi ence, keen insight, and sympathetic un derstanding. He makes friends quick ly and keeps them; he enjoys social af fairs out of hours; and he likes a good joke as well as anyone. His younger son was a national champion swimmer and the skipper still chuckles over the way Percy and the Carolina team went up ,to his sec ond alma mater last winter and sank See SKIPPER MALLISON, page 4 ham, Jr., Statesville; George Nor- wood, Winston-Salem.

Fire Chief Lauds Carolina Sailors Fire Chief Frank Bennett of Dur ham yesterday thanked 3,000 service men a number of them sailors and marines from the University's V-12 unit for their help in combatting Sat urday night's raging fire in Durham which levelled one city block with dam age estimated at a half million dollars. "Without these servicemen," Ben nett said, "we never could have brought the flames under control. Durham has only 40 or 50 firemen, and every one of these was called out. I want to give these servicemen every bit of credit for the wonderful job they did." The fire, discovered at 9:12 p. m., reached such gigantic proportions that the glow cast by the flames on clouds was visible in Chapel Hill. Many stu dents and citizens went to Durham to watch the conflagration eat it3 way through two big tobacco warehouses and several smaller buildings. Bennett said it was the worst blaze in the city's history. Though Chapel Hill firemen, were not called to assist in the battle, Chief Bennett thanked Chief P. R. Perry of the local department for his personal help. ! 1
