Navy Announces Changes For
End
Nearing
For Local
By Bill Kornegay
Definite changes are soon to
take place in the V-12 units here.
The V-12 Seamen unit will close
at the end of this term. There
are 95 Seamen how here." Twen
ty will graduate, 50 will be trans
ferred to the NROTC, and the
remaining 25 who are pre-inedi-cal,
predental, and pre-theologi-cal
candidates will return to in
active duty.
Post-graduate medical students will
continue until December 8, when they
will be returned to inactive duty.
When the pre-medical, pre-dental, pre
theological, and post graduate medi
cal students finish their training, they
will be given commissions in the Naval
Reserve.
Those now in the NROTC will be
retained on active duty until June,
1946. Those who have not finished
their training by that time will re
main in the NROTC on inactive sta
tus. Said Captain E. E. Hazlett, Jr.,
Commanding Officer of the V-12 Unit,
It appears probable that at that time
the NROTC will go back to a peace
time status and will work on the quar
ter basis rather than the present
semester basis." If this happens the
University will go back to the quar
ter basis also.
No new Marines will be sent here on
November 1, , Those already here
(120), excluding , those who graduate
this term, will . remain. However, a
number of NROTC's are expected to
he transierrea nere irom uuiei
NROTC units that are closing.
This will give the NROTC here ap
proximately 350 men in November.
The Marines have moved from Old
East and the north bay of Old West
to Grimes Dormitory. "Since it is
very likely that the Naval Pre-Flight
here will be greatly reuueeu in xne
near future, tne .wavy nopes to move
all Naval students into the three dorms

Men 's Choral
Club Practices
Next Tuesday
The first regular rehearsal of the
Men's Glee Club will be held Tuesday.
at ' 5 d. m. in the
Choral Rehearsal room, Hill Hall.
New Glee Club members as well as
all old members should be present; at
this first meeting. Anyone who would
like to join the Glee Club but did not
attend tryouts, this week may come
t this rehearsal and be tried out
at that time. - -
v The large number of new men who
turned out at tryouts this week plus
a substantial group of old membera
gives promise for a large Glee Club
and successful season.
Last year the Men's Glee Club gave
their first concert of the season in
conjunction with the Women's Glee
Club at Christmas. In the spring, the I
group presented a concert which re
ceived a great deal of praise, espe
cially for the performance of the
modern setting by Phillip James of
Vachel Lindsay's poem, "General Wil
liam Booth Enters into Heaven," a
work arranged for men's voices, two
pianos, organ, trumpet, trombone,
and percussion. At commencement the
Glee Clubs and the Chapel Hill
Choral Club collaborated on a pres
entation of Brahms' "Requiem."
Plans are already underway for a
concert tour this season to various
women's colleges in North Carolina J
and neighboring states. With the re-
axation of government restrictions
on transportation, such a tour will be
possible for the first time in several
years. ' ,

KYSER
Kyser May Play For
Grail Scrip Dance
With the lifting of the wartime
ban on name bands, prospects oi
bright stars gracing the skies loom
I high. The latest big name to be ap
proached for a stint is none other
than one of Carolina's favorite sons,
Kay Kyser. The old professor has
been asked to appear for the first
peacetime Duke week-end. Kay
writes that he would love to come,
but is going to the South Pacific on
an army tour, and therefore is not
booking now. However, he hopes to
be back in the States in time to play
for the" first scrip dance, sponsored
by the Order of the Grail with pro
ceeds going to the scholarship fund.
Little has to be said to acquaint
Carolina students with ,Kay Kyser,
though it's been a long time since
the old .professor has been able to
make one of his favorite trips back
to Chapel Hill. Dance officials have
their fineers crossed and students
hope to be able to shout a hearty
"welcome back" to Kay Kyser, come
next Duke week-end. But whether

HOUSE
On behalf of President Graham,
the Faculty, personally, and for
the community as a whole, I want
to welcome all new students,
whether they be freshmen or grad
uate, beginning college for the
first time, transferring here from
other institutions, or returning vet
erans. I want to welcome, also,
those who have been in , process
here during the July-August term
and those who are taking up their
work again after a well-earned
vacation.
We are crowded, we are con
fused, we are uncertain about many
things; but we are certain about
one thing: it is great to. get. to
school again. in a world free from
war. There is no adjustment we
will have to make so trying as the
constant strain of . study and liv
ing under thte conditions of war.
Honor, too great for any attempt
to express it here, is" due some 15,
000 boys and girls who kept Caro
lina going strong in the war effort.
We are proud of them. They are
part of a great history.
And we honor, those who begin
now to make the peace-time tra
ditions' of Carolina today. There is
much to be done, much work, much
play. We who welcome you . and
collaborate with you are confident
in your quality and the quality of
our opportunity for a fine experi
ence here.
Cordially yours,
R. B. Hoise, Chancellor.

2300 Students
Register For
Short Session
By Buddy Glenn
The first peacetime registra
tion Monday ended and beg-an an
era at Carolina. The ease and
efficiency with which it was car
ried out and the joyous reunions
among old friends indicated that
Carolina had turned another cor
ner and was on its way to being
the great peacetime University
it had been until 1941.
Approximately 2300 students
signed for courses with many
more expected to enter in No
vember. Assessing the results, Chancel
lor R. B. House stated that he :
"was gratified with the regis
tration and will be glad to get
going on a normal term of work.
The University Will return to a
peacetime basis as soon as pos
sible ; and at the same time dis
charge its obligations to the
military authorities."
. The registration was directed
by Mr. Guy Phillips, Director of
Summer School ; Mr. W. II.
Plemmons, Director of Admis
sions; and Mr. Edwin S. Lanier,
Student Aid Director. These of
ficials aided the new students in
their first registration.
The usual late five-thirty ap
plicants went through the line
breathlessly, and the bells tolled
the beginning of peace at Chapel
Hill.
