had piled up on the agenda. Pannil
criticized members of the Ways and
Means committee for failing to ap
pear at a special committee meeting

understanding about the time of the
meeting.

Walt Brinkley, and states that vote
counting for a disputed office shall be
delayed until the honor council clears

council within a week, a new election
for the office shall be held. -

Elections bill strikes out Article five,

International Organization.
They were elected to be dele
gates of the SCC to the UNCIO
when the SCC was' first formed here
April 15. The Tar Heel has re
ceived their first three reports. In
spite of the fact that their main
reason for attending the UNCIO
was to "see how it worked," they
got to see a lot of the fabulous city
of the West. Following is their re
port of their first impression of
-San Francisco.
Frisco Bursts With Youth

Winchell reminds us, don't like the

"Frisco," is a city bursting with

nificent harbor of San Francisco
Bay, the city is expanding in both
directions jutting out into the bay
with a long row of piers where
scores of Liberty and Victory ships
are loading, and climbing up - the
hillside as if to test the full capac
ity of the cable cars. The bay area
is the key to the life of this great
city, for San Francisco is, first of
all, a port. Here the convoys as
semble for the long voyage across
the Pacific, and as one rides across
the great Oakland-San Francisco
bridge, a mighty fleet of ships lies
beneath, perhaps fifty or more in
all, 'waiting for the formation to be
completed and the signal to depart.
A little farther out, a baby flat
top lies at anchor. These are the
ships which supply our Pacific
forces, and when one sees them the
phrase f'life-line across the Pacific"
gains new significance. Gray-painted
and weatherbeaten, distinguished
from each other only by large
white numerals on the bow, these
ships are the life-line they and
the crews who man them.

Instructor Quits
Lebanese Position
By Roy Thompson
A week before the official open
ing of the San Francisco confer
ence, Goro Deeb, an instructor in
the Political Science department,
was called from Washington and
asked to assist the Lebanon delega
tion as a secretary.
Special plane priorities were ar
ranged from Durham to New York
where Deeb boarded the special
conference train to California.
After a trip to the coast Deeb
was plunged immediately into the
routine duties of a secretary. . Soon,
however, he discovered that these
duties were more varied than he
had anticipated. During the course
of a typical day he played many
roles. He was in charge of the
Lebanese press. He was in. charge
of public relations for his delega
tion. He acted as interpreter and
read menus for the delegates who
couldn't read English. At last,, he
reports, he left that position in the
interest of maintaining peace and
tranquility.

budget officer with an eye for econ

He free-lanced for a few days
then joined three members of the
Syrian Parliament. These young
men are very interested in the
United States, but they don't speak
any English whatsoever and have
had no experience with American
ways of doing things. This latest
job is that of a guardian angel, but

Goro had met most of the members
of this delegation previously he has

Phillips Says
Coed's Dorms
Are Now Full
Military Housing
Still Unsettled
By Barron Mills
Prospects for a "full house"
this summer were bright last
night when Mf. Guy B. Phillips,
director of summer school, an
nounced to the Tar Heel that all
space in the women's dorms was
filled and that at least 125 new
freshmen would be entering.
Mr. Phillips stated that, in view of
the way that registration had been
progressing in the past few weeks,
there would be little difference in the
enrollment of the summer term., It ii
generally believed that the overall en
rollment at the University would hit
the four thousand mark. This figure
includes coeds, men students, both civi
lian and V-12, and cadets in the Pre
Flight school.
Expect Coed Capacity
Of this number it is expected that
about nine hundred will be coeds since
there is dormitory space on the cam
pus to accommodate eight hundred and
fifty and a majority of the private
rooms out in Chapel Hill have been
rented.
Director Phillips stated that as yet
Capt. Hazlett has not released any
definite figure for V-12 students on
campus, but he says that it looks as
though about the same number will
be maintained as are in school this
semester. This number, including Ma
rines, V-12's and NROTC's totals six
hundred and forty.
The housing situation still had
many wrinkles that have to.be ironed
out. No definite plans have been made
for the housing of military students
on campus, uapt. iiaziett nas made
no contracts for dormitory space this
summer and it is not yet certain which
dorms will be under military contract,
but it is probable that there will be
several changes.
For some time it has been known
on campus that it is quite possible that
the complete dormitory setup of
Battle, Vance, and Pettigrew may be
turned over to civilian students. Last
minute rumors on campus, that have
not been confirmed as the Tar Heel
goes to press, suggest that the Ma
rines on campus may be housed in Old
East and that Smith will be turned
over to coeds. Also there is a possi
bility that Owen Hall, which now
houses civilian men, may be turned
over to coeds.
May nold Pre-Registration
In reference to a pre-registration
period for the summer school, Mr.
Phillips said that a committee had been
appointed to look into the possibility
of holding registration before this term
is over.
Director Phillips said that he hoped
that it would be possible to hold this
pre-registration period, because he is
convinced "that it helps."
Gloria Chapman,
Glenn, Will Be

jor from Charlotte and has served as

Senate.
This meeting marked the closing of
the most successful year experienced
by the IRC since the departure of the
arge civilian student body.
During the year the UtC expanded
on the speaker presentation level to
bring four top-flight speakers to the
campus, ihe club began a weekly ra
dio forum presenting faculty experts
on topics of current international in
terest, and continued presenting cam
pus- forums and club discussions.
Retiring president Glenn stated
that he would serve until September
when Chapman returns to assume ac
tive charge of the activities. He an
nounced that the IRC would continue
its entire program through the sum
mer if the students would attend the
meetings.
