He's the nearest thing "this country has to a general defense co ordinator except for President Roose velt and possibly Harry L. Hopkins." He's Wayne Coy, and some people might describe him as a $9,000 a year errand boy who hops around picking up' the odds and ends for President Roosevelt. But official Washington circles know differently. Coy is recognized as the connecting link between the Presi dent and at least a dozen vital de fense agencies. Familiar With Capital He knows the Washington situation, and is expected to tell much of it to Chapel Hill on October 20. Recently signed to speak at the Hill from a Carolina Political union platform, he is expected to raise the official cur tain on the Washington scene. His speech has long been anticipat ed at the Eill by union leaders. When Knudsen's OPM, or Henderson's Price 'Fixing, or LaGuardia's civilian de fense, or Rockefeller's Pan-American society, swings into action Coy is there. - Coy never stood for an elective of fice. Paradoxically it is not likely that "two out of 100 Americans are famil iar with the man whose ideas may have changed the course of their lives."

Dr. Allen Bonnell Reports Food, Fuel Scarce in France The food, fuel and clothing situation in Unoccupied France is really quite stprions. reports Dr. Allen Bonnell of the University School of Commerce, who has just returned from Europe. Dr. Bonnell spent a year in the Un occupied area and was in charge of the business section of relief for the Amer ican Friends Service Committee. He is regarded as an authority on foreign trade. Dr. Bonnell was accompanied by Mrs. Bonnell who was also engaged in relief work. Lost Weight , As evidence of the food shortage, Dr. Bonnell says he lost 30 pounds dur ing his stay in France but has gained most of it back. Average person in the Unoccupied area is allowed only enough food to equal 1200 calories a day whereas in normal times 2,500 calories would be consumed in one meal. Clothing is also strictly rationed, and it is almost impossible to buy such items as shirts or socks..

Male students now exceed women by a ratio of four to one, with entrants coming from 46 states, the District of Columbia and foreign countries. The analysis was a surprise to faculty and administrative officials who last year indicated that they expected "a down ward trend in enrollment" because of the national defense emergency. Faculty Reaction Reaction to the registration announ cement was immediate, and educators here handed "a great deal of the cre dit for keeping up the standards and opportunities of. the University" to Carolina's policy of cooperation in meeting the nation's needs. The undergraduate school, affected least by the emergency slate, has total of 1718 856 in the freshman class and 857 sophomores, with five special stu dents. The commerce school boasts a total of 341 men 157 juniors, 181 seniors and three specials. In the col lege of Arts and Sciences, 516 juniors, 472 seniors and twenty-four specials are registered.

Peacock of the School of Commerce. To makejthe situation even worse, there has been very serious inflation which apparently has not, yet reached the limit, Dr. Bonnell said. Prices "Sky-High" Prices of fresh vegetables have in creased 1,000 percent. The govern ment has fixed a ceiling for prices of certain items, but things are still very high, he said. For those who can pay the price, however, almost anything in any quan tity is obtainable, he said. "The boot legging goes on at what is called the Black Market." And when one con- sideres that it takes 300 to 400 francs now to equal a dollar, the high prices are understandable. "I never was so cold in my life as last winter because of lack of fuel," Dr. Bonnell said. Despite the mental depression and frustration, there can be no serious revolt in France, he said.

C Frat Council Submits Plan Coeds Await Move By Administration - A proposed agreement, which is to serve as the basis for the privilege of entertaining women students in fra ternity houses during the coming year, has been submitted to the University administration by the Interfraternity council. Officials will act on the proposal next week, it is believed. No special arrangement whereby women students may visit fraterni ty houses during this week-end has been made pending the conclusion of the agreement. It was thought advisable by the Interfraternity council and the University adminis tration not to make a special ex- ' ceptipn this week-end because such action would start the entertain ment program before plans could be made.. To start the entertainment program before the agreement is reached would initiate the privileges before either dents -had an opportunity to thor- the new coeds or the new men stu- ouehlv understand the conditions of the agreement. Carolina Faces Water Shortage "Chapel Hill faces the possibility of a water shortage due to the overtax ing of the pumping facilities brought about by the need for artificial sprin kling of lawns during the recent pro longed dry spell," H. E. Thompson, utilities superintendent said yester day. Normal rainfall in this area usually obviates the necessity of any great amount of artificial sprinkling on the part of home owners and other users, but the present drought and subse quent sprinkling may reach a point beyond existing pumping facilities un less rain alleviates the situation. "We felt it wise to warn the people of the possibility and urge them to rnnnerate bv usine water only fot vital needs. We do not want to excite anyone unduly," Thompson said.

Franklin Street, between 1:15 and 2:50 yesterday morning. Every pane of glass in the branch store was broken, expensive counters and fixtures were completely demol ished, finishes on new furniture, ceil ing and walls were scorched and peel ed, and refrigeration equipment was badly damaged. Exact cost of the fire is still undetermined and company men are working on estimates for re pair. Business to Resume Paul Thompson, manager of the store, believed business would be re sumed within four or five days. He' said, however, the fire would not in terfere with regular milk delivery., Thursday morning's delivery went out as usual from a separate section of the building. Evidence Obliterated Evidence of origin of the blaze was entirely obliterated,-but Thompson be lieved the most likely cause was with in one of the refrigerator motors be neath shop counters. Automatic switching mechanism in the freezing units may have failed, thus leaving motors to heat to incendiary tempera ture. Extreme severity of damage about the counters somewhat substan tiates this theory. Thompson thought the cause, in any case, was electrical FFC Will Discuss Co-education Plan "What a Coed Thinks of Co-educa tion" will be discussed by the Fresh man Friendship council Monday eve ning, Pete Cochrane, vice-president of the council, announced yesterday.
