With 20 Men; SAE,
DKE Have 18 Each
Fraternity men and freshmen ended
a two-week grind yesterday when the
new men made their choices of Greek
houses, signed a slip at Memorial hall,
and went out to shake hand3 with their
brothers-to-be as the fall rushing sea
son came to a close. ,
A total of 229 pledges to 21 cam
pus fraternities was announced last

the Interfraternity council.

o'clock, the freshmen, mixed with a
few xrpperclassmen" and. transfers who
did not pledge until this year, formed
in two queues before the registration
desks. As they approached the desks
they were each given a blank to be
filled out, on which they indicated
their top fraternity choice. The clerk
then indicated the house to which the
man had a bid, and he was required to
go immediately to that house without
further communication with anyone.
All during the four-hour pledge pe
riod, from 2 to 6 o'clock, an almost
steady stream of men poured into and
out of Memorial halL
, Six o'clock last night marked th
end of the period of silence, in effect
since Wednesday night, and many of.
the fraternities entertained their
pledges at suppers or other informal
gatherings. The tension which had
been evident during the earlier part

introducing a number of new ones, the
first issue of the Alumni Review for
the 1939-40 year was placed in the
mail, yesterday. Alumni Secretary J.
M. Saunders is editor and Walter
Spearman is managing editor of the
Review, which goes to every member
of the Alumni association.
On the cover, the editors inaugurate
a second series of pictures of promi
nent individuals connected with the
University. This year's series will be
devoted to the various deans, and Dr.
Thomas J. Wilson, Jr., dean of admis
sions and registrar, was the first dean
chosen for the series.
A new column, entitled " 'Way Back
When," is begun, being items taken
from various University publications
in the past. One item was taken from
the Tar Heel of October 11, 1919, an
account of the College Night program
opening the 1919-20 session. It read:
"Officially ushering in the yjear of
1919-20, College Night last Thursday
in Gerrard Hall was declared the most
successful ever. Much pep was inducted
into the crowd through the efforts of
that energetic rubber ball, 'Lerubby'
Rives. The entrance of the female por
tion of the student body was the sig
nal for another outburst of enthusiasm
from the gallant lads.
"Albert Coates, acting as presiding
officer, and thereby enjoying his task,
caused more than one modest blush on
the face of each speaker and'xnot a
little merriment in the audience by his
mental gymnastics, at which he proved
himself quite an athlete. 'Shorty

In Art Exhibit

ford S. Conrow of New York city and
a collection of architectural drawings
for the Wheaton College Art Center

the art department, will give a gallery
talk on the exhibition at 4 o'clock to
morrow afternoon.
Mr. Conrow will be present for the
opening of the show and will remain
in Chapel Hill for several days. He is
regarded as one of the outstanding
portrait painters of today, being noted
for his paintings of famous men and
women. The keynote of his composi
tions is realism. He is said to be in
terested in portraying character with
a relentless determination to put down
an exact representation of the sitter.
GALLERY HOURS
This exhibit will be on view through
October 24. Gallery hours are from 10
to 1 o'clock and 2 to - 5 o'clock on
weekdays and 2 to 5 o'clock on Sun
days. The New York Times says of his
work: "In the presence of a theory-
ridden modern art. . there is solid
satisfaction in finding work that
rests, as Mr. Conrow's does, upon a
basis of scientific theory growing into
a form that pulses with life."
Among the portraits to be shown at
Person hall are those of the most Rev
erend James De Wolf Perry, former
presiding 'bishop of the Protestant
Episcopal church of America, Profes
sor Nelson Glenn McCrea of Colum
bia university, and Dr. Gustavus A.
Eisen, noted archaeologist. "This ex
hibit will be shown through October
31. : . .

conjtest to select architects for the

Bennett, young New York architects.

and Marcel Breuer, professors of ar
chitecture at Harvard university.
Others who submitted prize winning
plans were William Lescaze, Lyndon
and Smith, and Richard J. Neutra.

signs: "I hope that all architects in
the state and all persons interested
in new construction of fine art build
ings will avail themselves of the op
portunity of seeing this excellent ex
hibition of international importance."

TAR HEELS GIVEN
HEAVY ADVANTAGE
OVER GOBBLERS

By SHELLEY ROLFE
NORFOLK, Oct. 6 The University
of North Carolina football team, from
all signs and indications moving on
its way to its greatest season in his
tory, battles Virginia Tech at Nor
folk's Foreman field at 2 o'clock to
morrow afternoon. -
Getting off to a slightly less than
terrific start in its opening two games
against The Citadel and Wake Forest,
the Tar Heels are expected to clean
up the Gobblers without expending
any more effort than working up a
sweat, and to move into their first
major game of the season next week
end against NYU without having se
riously been tested by any of the first
three foes.
VIRGINIA RECORD
Virginia .Tech lost to Marshall after
beating Randolph-Macon in its open
ing game. There is high hope in
Blacksburg of dumping Carolina, but
as was shown in the Wake Forest game
when the Deacons arrived with high
hopes and a ragged team, it will take
more than wishful thinking to send
Ray Wolf 's "chillun" back to Chapel
Hill convinced they have been hit by
a couple of squadrons of bombers.
Even' without George Von Stirn
weiss, who still limps around these
days as a memento of banging up
against Red Mayberry and Johnny
Polanski in the Wake Forest game,
Carolina should not have too much '
trouble keeping its present ranking as
number one surprise team , of' the
state, -conference and nation in gen- '
eral. Stirnweiss has taken light work
