President Hits Axis Dictators 4 For Aggression Sounding a challenge to America, and the keynote of Carolina's 148th session, President Frank P. Graham speaking in Memorial hall, "one of America's temples of freedom," lash ed out at "the conquering dictators," yesterday morning, and called for abo lition of the Neutrality Act. ' This before an overflowing, wildly cheering audience which accorded the President one of the greatest ovations in the history of the University. It was an address on the opening of another school session, and the Presi dent offered tacit advice to students in the fore-part of his speech, -stressing the need "for University men and "wo men to give all sides a fair hearing; to interpret and champion the free dom and rights of despised minori ties And then, concluding his remarks Carolina's "man with the flying coat tails," ignited a spark which, flamed into an out-and-out declaration of America's determination to beat dic tatorship. Departing from his prepared speech, and returning forcefully, Dr. Graham declared that "we cannot be isolated from our heritage and history, from the freedom, democracy and spiritual faith, which made us what we are. "We cannot be isolated from the sufferings and hopes of oppressed and persecuted peoples across the earth. We cannot be isolated from democracy, for democra cy hurt anywhere in the world is de mocracy hurt everywhere in the world. We cannot, with our hatred of war, be isolated from a war endangering the very freedom which gave us birth and by which we hope to live and struggle for justice and peace in the world." Then, "We are not neutral and should repeal the neutrality act. By the responsibilities of the Lease Lend Act and by Nazi attacks, we are in the Battle of the Atlantic America will not retreat from that responsibility or from those attacks. We are in to stay through the war and, pray God this time, through the peace." The tense audience, caught unaware, leaned forward as the President con tinued what became a down-to-earth, fiery speech. ''To know which side we are on, make three roll calls. Call the long roll of the conquered peoples who will rise again with the defeat of Hit- See GRAHAM, page U The Light Fantastic Victory Ball Tonight Begins New Season of Grail Dances The Order of the Grail will sponsor tonight in Woollen gym from 9 until 12 o'clock what will turn out to be a vic tory ball for either North or South Carolina.

Moll Revamps Mag Staff In Unprecedented Move Salary To Be Divided Among Five-Editors Under Revision Plan In an unprecedented move in the long . history of the Carolina Mag, Editor Henry Moll yesterday an nounced that the staff of the publi cation would be revised to include five editors, all of who have an equal share in policy determination and pay. Under the new set-up, Moll will continue in the role of coordinating editor, a position to which he was elected by the campus last .spring. There will also be a managing editor literary editor, art editor, and co-ed editor. Moll said, that he had re quested that all be chosen by the Publications union board, instead of making his own personal selections. Shattered Old Beliefs Moll, who shattered age-old beliefs last May when he published a lively, multi-colored magazine, said yester day, "The scope of a satisfactory magazine must include all phases of campus life. In order to do the job, we need more extensive work, and hence, more workers. Our issue last year took two months to turn out, and for us to meet monthly deadlines, we must have a large staff." In taking the step, Moll voluntarily offered to split up his editor's salary five ways, among the new staff. Each member, including the editor-in-chief, will receive an equal share. This puts the Carolina Mag set-up for the first time in campus history on a financial plan similar to that of the Daily Tab Heel. Last year, the new Mag, under Moll's guidance, came forth with trick shot photography, Bog-Down Nazi Offensive In Ukraine and down the great front lashing at railroads and armament works in Mos cow, Kharkov and the Crimea, DNB reported that the Russians were cov ering their retreat with such enor mous clusters of mines that one Ger man pioneer battalion spent six days removing 4,500 of them from a stretch of the Dnieper River sector.

Visitors Boast Backfield Men Of Top Caliber Veteran UNC Line Appears To Hold Key To Victory By Harry Hollings worth A major question, debated for years in football circles, is slated to be settled here this afternoon when the University of South Carolina and the University of North Carolina reopen their four-year-dead football rivalry in Kenan stadium at 3 :30 (DST). The question is whether a power ful, experienced backfield or a strong veteran line is the best asset in foot ball. There's no denying, the fact that South Carolina enters the game with one of the most impressive backfield units in the Southern conference. Car olina learned a lot about its backfield corps in its season's opener against Lenoir-Rhyne last Saturday, but on a whole it's the question mark be tween a good season and a poor one. Lines Seem Even The lines stack up about even, and if anything South Carolina's huge 198-pound average linemen 'have a slight advantage over the Tar Heels. South Carolina brings a team her alded as. another "team of 100 backs," like the great Tar Heels of 1929. Coach Rex Enright doesn't have 100 backs, but he does have two sets of about even backfield performers and a third set that would make most coaches grin. Backs Lack Experience Against that collection of wonder- backs Ray Wolf and his sides can field only an average crew of workhorses. There iin't a tried and proven triple- threat back in the whole collection of Students are requested to use gate No. 6" and have passbook ticket No. 2 ready for today's game. Student gate will open at 2 o'clock. , Tar Heel backs. Frank O'Hare, Hugh Cox, Harry Dunkle and Leo LeBlanc can all run, pass and kick, but none can do all three with top efficiency. The Gamecocks can send in a whole new corps of Dacks wnile the Tar Heels will, be forced to substitute piece-meal, and most of the substi tutions will be sophomores who will be in their second varsity game. Al Grygo is the flash of the South Carolina backfield. A close shave with the selective service almost cost Enright his best back but a defer ment came through this week and now everything's rosy. Bevy of Flashy Backs Dutch Elston, Harvey Blouin, De- Witt Arrowsmith and Ken Roskie,. form the supporting cast to Grygo, and all are fast, flashy backs capable of breaking away most anytime for a score. 1 Leaders in South Carolina's line1 are Elmore Carter, tackle, and Louis Sos- samon, center who is rated one of the best in the conference. A great per sonal battle looms between Sossamon and Carolina's Carl Suntheimer for defensive honors of the game. The South Carolina line will be a veteran one with the exception of Harold Middlebrooks, 205-pound sop- nomore tackle, forming the flank combination will probably be John Leitner, 185, and Steve Nowak, 200. airing with Middlebrooks at the tac kle posts is Carter. Bill Applegate, 6-foot 3-inch 220-pound giant, and Joe Milner, 190, are seasoned opera tors at guards. The line average is shade under 200 pounds 198.
