Guitar players languished about

windows floated up the plaintive
tones of a clear tenor. Well, perhaps
that wasn't just the case, but at any
rate, in 1903 UNC saw the need for
organization of those under, the spell
of the guitar, mandolin, banjo craze
-of the day, and so Charles T. Woollen,
genial comptroller of the Greater
University, was selected as head of
'the Band.
-Besides a Glee Club and a mostly
stringed orchestra, the University
33and had its beginning at this time
in the nucleus of six strong-winded
-men whose main purpose was to snap
up the cheering at the games and,
-of course, they were not adverse to

As Pre-Flight Moves Out
Navy Hall Will Be Turned Over To Monogram
Club As Home Of Athletic, Military Records
With liquidation of the Carolina Pre-Flight School scheduled
to be completed immediately, Chancellor R. B. House has announced
plans for two of the buildings used by the Navy here.
The officer's club on the Raleigh
road just below Woollen gymnasium
will be given over to the University
Veterans Association, to be operated
by them under University regulations.
The clubhouse will be headquarters
for the veterans and will serve as a
meeting place and social center for
them and their guests.
Navy Hall will be preserved as the
home of athletic and military records
of Pre-Flight cadets and staff mem
bers. It was built by the Navy as a
social and reception center for cadets
and has, housed offices of the school's
public relations department.
Chancellor House has appointed the
Monogram Club as guardian of Navy
Hall. The building will remain a spe
cial glace where cadets will always be
given a welcome when they return to
Chapel Hill. The Monogram Club will
use Navy Hall as its headquarters and
meeting place. ' .
Wearers of the school letters have
been asked to conduct Navy Hall as a
social and educational center, not only
for all Carolina students, but for all
members of the Chapel Hill commun
ity.
To Follow Sunday
Supper Meeting
Dr. Kenneth Foreman, professor of
philosophy and Bible at Davidson Col
lege, has been scheduled by the Coun
cil for Religion in Life to speak at
Hill Hall next Sunday, at 8 p.m. His
subject is "One World or None."
The CRIL has organized a commun
ity supper to be held before the
speech, for the purpose of allowing
members of the various student reli
gious groups to get acquainted. The
supper is set for 6:30 p.m. at the Bap
tist church, with members of the stu
dent groups as well as students at
large urged to attend. Tickets for
this interfaith supper will be on sale
at the YMCA this week.
Dr. Foreman's speech is the first in
a series of talks planned by the CRIL
for this school year. Future speakers
will discuss such topics as religion and
education, religion and labor, and reli
gion and rural life the whole series
ii, in short, religion and life.
: The answer to the question, "Just
what is the CRIL?" can be done best
by, quoting from Gen. MacArthur's
speech at the Japanese surrender:
"Military alliance, balances of power,
League of Nations all in turn failed.

Slocum Arrives
In the fall of '33, our present di
rector, Earl A. Slocum, came to us
from Greensboro. At that time the
only school-owned instruments were
a few large horns and a bass drum,
to which was added the unusual com
bination of a piccolo and a glocken
spiel. With these as tools, the band
forged ahead to be awarded colorful
.uniforms by the Athletic Association.
New basses, baritones and bassoons
were added as the joint gift of the
Music and Athletic Departments. The
band had increased in size to 115
pieces prior to the war's beginning in
1941.
This fall the band is rapidly being
molded into shape by its director.

. on Saturday night, October 13, in
Woollen gymnasium, according to
Tom Green, Marine member of the
committee in charge of the affair.
.Sponsored by ROTC, V-12 and Ma
rine units here, the ball promises
to be one of the highlights of the
year's social program.
Music will be by the 336th Air
Service Forces band from Camp
Butner. All members of the band
were professional musicians . in
civilian life, and the leader was
formerly a member of Paul White
man's orchestra. A featured vocal
ist will sing.
The dance will be semi-formal
and will last from 9 until 12
o'clock. There (will be no admis
sion charge, and hat check service
will be free. The committee direct
ing the event has planned a floor
show to be staged during inter

It was pointed out that local mail
cannot be put into boxes in the halls
now, since these are owned by the
United States government and may be
used only by U. S. postmen. Open lo

First New Political Group
Since 1943 Sets 'Principle'
As Basis, Repudiates 'Deals'
An unexpected bombshell exploded on the Carolina political
scene yesterday when formation of a third party was announced in
a statement addressed to "every student on the campus," and
signed by twenty-nine members of the student body. A spokes
man for the group said it will wel
come anyone who wishes to join and
who will pledge to uphold "the prin
ciples on which the party is founded."
Included in the list of signers are
the President" and Vice-President of
the student body, the Speaker of the
Student Legislature, the President of
the Senior Class, the President of the
Interfraternity Council, the President
of the Interdormitory Council, the
Editor of the Carolina Mag, the
Speaker of the Coed Senate, and the
Managing Editor of the Tar Heel.
The new organization is to be
known as the "United Carolina Party."
In the opening declaration its found
ers described it as a "party of prin
ciple" which will "have no truck with
political deals" and which would
rather lose with the support of those
who will fight for a better student
government IN office and OUT, than
win with the support of those who
don't give a damn." The statement
ended with the statement "Either the
campus wakes up or student govern
ment folds up!"
The immediate effect that the Unit
ed Carolina Party will have on the
roles of the University and Student
parties in campus politics could not
yet be ascertained. It was pointed out
that the new group has prominent
representatives of both the older
parties in its ranks as well as a
number of students who had not be-
ore been affiliated with any political
organization; but just how deep the
cleavage is in S. P. and U. P. circles
is still unknown. Just how represen
tative a group the signers constitute
was considered another moot point,
and it was felt in some quarters that
as much as a week may elapse before
the Carolina Party's relative strength
becomes more apparent.
Further details of the U. C. P.'s or
ganization are promised for the near
future, but it was revealed that no
groups will be represented in the
party as groups, and that a "conven
tion" system to . make nominations
and write platforms is envisaged. It
was considered probable that a ticket
will be placed in the November elec
tions by the U. C. P., though no an
nouncement to this effect has been
issued. More speculation included a
story that a party "conference" will
be held during the week.
A partial text of the statement is
sued by the twenty-eight founders of
the new party follows:

Old Well Symbolizes UNC
By Jo Pugh
The Old Well, a distinctive feature
of Carolina tradition, has been a sym
bol of the University to alumni and
students for more than two centuries.
Before transformed from the simple
edifice of square shafts of rough wood
to the present graceful structure, it
served as a staunch servant to Caro
lina for 132 years.
It was used by the students then as
n; is now as a meeting place tor stu
dents and visitors. Back then it was
the only source of water on the cam
pus. All students used one dipper.
Water was drawn from the well and
heated over a wood fire between Old
East and Old West for Saturday night
baths.
Among other purposes of the well,
Zebulon Vance mentions one'in a story
he told of a new temperance society
formed while he was a student here.
A student, on being pursued by a col
lege official, hurled a forbidden flask,
which was only half empty, into the
well as he sped by. Mocking the hy
Organization of a third political
group, "United Carolina Party
was revealed to the student body
today. Prominent members of the
two older parties are sponsoring

New Radio Forum
On Public Affairs
The Tar Heel Institute of Public
Affairs announced Sunday that it
would sponsor the "Student Forum
on Public Affairs" over the radio be
ginning November 4. This will be the
first sustained student roundtable in
the history of the University.
Director Buddy Glenn said he had
concluded negotiations with Jack
Hunkins, program director of radio
station WBBB, for that station to
carry the program each Sunday after
noon from 2 to 2:30. The program
will consist of two students and
Moderator Glenn discussing some
question of current interest.
Ray Sylvester has joined the staff
of the Institute as radio director to
coordinate this activity. He will work
with Elmo Roberds, assistant institute
director, to promote the program.
Station WBBB is located in Bur
lington, and its coverage extends over
most of central and eastern North
Carolina and southern Virginia. The
program will originate at the local
studio and will be piped to Burling
ton. All students, including coeds, will
be eligible to participate in the forum.
They will be selected on the basis of
their vocal capacities and knowledge
of the problem being discussed. No
attempt will be made to obtain ex
perts but every participant will be
expected to know the subject being
discussed. Sylvester is compiling a
list of students for the broadcasts.
Any student interested in participat
ing is urged to see him to discuss
the matter.
The purpose of the forum is two
fold. First, to bring students in con
tact with the average person on topics
of social importance, and, second, to
give the students experience in self-
expression over the air. .
In 1940 the University Radio Studio
sponsored some faculty and student
roundtables, but they were not sus
tained for any length of time. This
is Glenn's second venture into the field
of radio production. Last year he
founded the IRC-sponsored "Carolina
Roundtable."
Staff Meeting
All members of the Tar Heel edi
torial staff are asked to meet at
Horace Williams lounge in Graham
Memorial Thursday evening at 7:45
o'clock.
pocrisy of temperance societies, Vance
claimed that the temperance boys al
most drank the well dry the following
day.
When Carolina re-opened after the
Civil War, students used the Old Well
once more for bull-sessions, dates and
confabs. Commencement programs
were held in the open space in front
of the well.
A vain attempt was made in 1893 to
supply the dorimtories with water by
pumping it from the well by steam
into large tanks in the attic of South
building, where it was to be distri
buted to other buildings.
When Edwin Alderman became
president in '96, he resolved to beau
tify the old well, which had served the
University for so many years. The
old structure was transfigured into
the present semblance of the famous
Temple of Love in France.
Silhouetted clearly against the dark
with its graceful columns, the well is
a long-remembered symbol of Carolina
to students, alumni and visitors.
