DUKE OFFICIALS URGE TEMPERANCE AT GRID CONTEST Steps Are Taken To Halt Drinking:, Traffic Hazards DURHAM, Nov. 16 Duke univer sity officials appealed to those planning to attend the Duke-Carolina game in Duke Stadium Saturday to cooperate in every possible way toward eliminat ing traffic hazards, drinking and dis orderly conduct at the contest. Dr. W. P. Few, president of Duke university, said of this concerted drive to keep the "drunks" out of the sta dium and off the campus, "as long as the students will stand by us, we will exert every possible effort to make this state occasion on our campus clean and respectable. If this drunkenness and debauchery on the part of out siders continues, we will not have oc casions of this kind." 200 POLICEMEN Placards calling attention to the state law in regard to drinking in pub lic will be displayed in Duke stadium and on the approaches to the stadium and rigid compliance to the law will be expected, it was stated.

Full credit for Old West's coup d'etat goes to J. V. Morgan, the dorm manager, who said he felt that Battle-Vance-Pettigrew, the Phi assembly and the Buccaneer had more than their share of free publicity1 and that it was time for his boys to get a little journ alistic gravy. PROCESS After reading Louis Sutton's clas sified ad in the Daily Tar Heel, ask ing for rooms for Clinton's band and the editorial comments in the paper the next day, J. V. asked the secretary treasurer of the German club if Old West couldn't do the honors. Sut ton gave his relieved consent, where upon J. V. secured permission to move his guests in, obtained a monopoly on almost all the stray beds on the cam- (Continued on page 2, column U) Competitive Exam For Merchant Marine Open To Students Announcement from the United States maritime commission was re ceived yesterday by the University concerning an open competitive exami nation for deck atad engineer cadets in the merchant marine.
