Hoblbs Commends
puffin Proposal.
Emphasizes Need
For Revision In
Dorm Government
By Herman D. Lawson
"The boys of Ruffin. dormitory who
bave taken on themselves the task of
rriting out "a constitution have an
opportunity to really do a service for
the campus," Truman Hobbs, newly
elected president of the Student body,
gaid in an interview last night. .
Referring to the action taken last
Wednesday night by residents of Ruf
fin in appointing a committee to draw
op a constitution to eliminate the evils
of unrepresentative elections of dormi
tory officers and the planning of so
cial activities, Hobbs expressed the
bope that "the other dormitory presi
dents and their councils would study
the efforts of Ruffin, and then take the
steps necessary to improve conditions
within their own dormitories."
Constitution Proposal
The proposal of a constitution for
Euffin grew out of current dissension
in the dormitory over a proposal hay
ride Sunday night and a controversy
over past unrepresentative elections
when a Ruffin student at the meeting
Wednesday night voiced the opinion:
"No one has been pleased with the
past activities of the dormitory, and
a change w necessary to bring about
the desired ideal dormitory life."
In explaining his stand on the con
stitution question, Hobbs pointed out:
"At Carolina we have a complicated

Bunn Hearn and Co-captain Charlie

pus problems; there is a very excellent
framework for handling interdormi-
tory problems ; yet at the very founda
tion of our student government struc
ture, interdormitory . government, we
have been guilty of almost criminal
neglect.
Financial Arrangements
"All dorm residents are aware of the
ignorance and mystery surrounding
dormitory elections. Few boys know
just who spends the money or by what
authorization. The dormitory floor
councilors charged with keeping the
order on their halls are all too often un
impressed by any feeling of responsi
bility. "I hope h&t this new constitution
will shed some light on these dark
pots Lb our student government."

dormitory improvements such as so
cial rooms, more room furniture, etc.,

in backing the team.
Peck urged that all students attend
the rally and show their spirit to the
team. A pep rally before a baseball
game has never been held at Carolina
and with a team near the championship
the students should rally to give the
team the backing it deserves.

The Valkyries, women's honorary so
ciety, will sponsor a sing on the steps

18, for fraternity, sorority and dormi
tory groups. The' time for the sing is
not definite yet but will be held im
mediately after the Golden Fleece has
held its tapping.
Sis Clinard, president of the Valky
ries, announced yesterday that two cups
will be awarded during the event. One
will go to the best men's group and
the other to the women's group. Each
group will sing two songs.
"Everybody is eligible for the con
test and the more participants, the
merrier," Miss Clinard stated.

Pianist Johnny Satterfield, who will
lead his band tomorrow afternoon in
the "Battle of Swing," announced last
night that janitor Willie Hargraves
will be blowing a tenor sax in his sec
tion. Hargraves, who has occasionally left
his job in Old East and Old West for
brief but hot performances for Me
morial hall audiences, has been playing
regularly with Satterfield's outfit for
a month.
Tomorrow afternoon, he will take
rides and play ensemble as Satterfield
competes against Freddy Johnson
Vince Courtney and Bill Dries for the
swing crown of the state.
Sponsored by the University band,
the contest will open at 3:15 and last
over two hours. Tickets for 35 cents
go on sale at the Memorial hall booths
half an hour before the contest begins.
John Hammond of New York, the best
swing music critic in the country, will
come down tomorrow to judge the bat
tle. George Simon, editor of Metronome
who judged the contest two years ago,
heard Hargraves as a soloist on the
program and called him one of tlje best
tenor men he had ever heard. Some
years ago the campus janitor played
for a while in New York, but then de
cided to come back to Chapel Hill.
Since then, he has had offers from
practically every colored name band in
the business.
Satterfield praised him yesterday as
the "best sax man available for us or
anybody else. His hot playing repre
sents everything we're striving for.
His style is smooth, melodic, perfectly
phrased and mean."
The sophomore bandleader, who took
over Charlie Wood's orchestra last fall
also disclosed that his band's perform
ance would consist of a lot more solos !
than ensembles playing and that "since
this will be a battle of swing, we're go
ing to do away with all showmanship
and sensationalism."
By Bob Hoke
"We don't attach - much - signifi
cance to this little squabble. It's
just a tune-up match for the big
league game with the Duke seniors
Thursday afternoon," Herb Hardy
senior class mentor, said yesterday in
challenging the junior class to the an
nual softball game with the fourth
year men.
If junior president Pinky Elliot ac
cepts the scornful challenge, as he cer
tainly will, the long-awaited battle
will be -waged on the coed athletic
field Tuesday afternoon at 4 o'clock.
Tough Fight '
Although the junior prexy could not
be reached last night, reports from
the third year men's camp indicate
that the contest will be anything but
a "breather" for the seniors.
Hardy announced yesterday that a
Tbrand new, unf rayed, softball would
be awarded to the senior judged the
most valuable player.
The seniors, no matter what the
outcome of the clash, will meet a team
of Duke seniors in another softball
battle on Thursday afternoon at 3
o'clock on the coed field.
Opening event of the gala senior
week, the "I dare you" game will be
followed by the Saddle Shoe Stomp
slated for the tennis courts and light
ed by a beaming Carolina moon, es
pecially ordered for the occasion.
"SomepiiC big" is brewing for Wed
nesday in the fertile minds of Hardy
and his senior week cohort, Fish Wor-
ley, impressario of Graham Memorial,

the eyes of the saddened seniors, in

LONDON, May 9 Destruction
matching the Luftwaffe's worst "To
tal Destruction" raid on Britain was
claimed tonight after a British arm
ada of 300 to 400 bombers in a record
breaking dusk to dawn assault smash
ed and set fire to the Great German
ports of Hamburg and Bremen.
It was the Royal Air Force's big
gest raid of the war on Germany, un
leashed as the Nazi Air Force carried
out costly widespread "blockade" at
tacks on Britain's port sand cities.
Shortly before midnight the Berlin
radio suddenly went silent and RAF
bombers were believed to be sweeping
across the channel again bent on
spreading the havoc of the record
breaking attack.
New American-built bombers and
the biggest of all bombs were used in
the attack that heaped nearly a thou
sand tons of explosives upon the
North Sea naval and U-boat center
as well as Berlin and Emden in "re
morseless bombardment" it was stated.
WASHINGTON, May 9 The ad
ministration's national defense set-up
rapidly is being "stripped for action"
to meet whatever eventuality the fu
ture may hold, well qualified sources
said tonight..
Complete liquidation of the old Na
tional Defense advisory commission,
already going into gradual absorption
by newer streamlined agencies, is
contemplated to provide centraliza
tion of defense activities, control, and
a general eclipse of many dollar-a-year
executives.
These sources said the new organi
zational set-up could be best describ
ed as a series of interconecting pyra
mids to cover all phases of the defense
effort. The central and principal one
