Proposed ISS Group
Fails to Materialize
Local Organization
To Uphold Graham's
Post-War Policies
Plans to form a local branch
of the International Student
Service will not materialize,
Charles Nice, proposed chairman
of the group, disclosed yester
day." Nice, who was asked to head
a local group on September 29
when numerous student leaders
conferred with President Gra
ham, stated yesterday that an organ
ization, pledged to support Graham's
post-war policies, would result from
that first informal discussion, but that
it would have no connection with the
ISS.
He stated that the new organiza
tion would be strictly local and open
to any person holding the belief "that
at the conclusion of the present war
the United States should take a lead
ing part in the establishment and
maintenance of world peace."
In its meetings, to be held once a
month, the group will study and dis
cuss post-war problems and also ex
amine a current book pertaining to
their discussion. - 1
Godfrey to Address Group
At its meeting tomorrow, officers
will be elected and the group will be
addressed by Mr. J. L. Godfrey of the
Social Science Department.
At its original conference with
President Graham on Sept. 29, the 20
student leaders spontaneously agreed
to form this local branch of the ISS
with the. promotion of democracy as
their main idea. . .

Germans Capture Mariupol,
Half-Encircle Soviet Capitol
MOSCOW, (Wednesday), Oct. 15. (UP) Thirteen thousand
Germans fell on the snow-covered battlefield before Moscow yes
terday afternoon but still the Germans advanced on the city from
the northwest and south and in an accompanying sweep, in the
area of Azov, captured the important port of Mariupol, a com
munique said today.
Kalanin, 100 miles northwest of Moscow, was mentioned for
the first time. In a Russian communique, it said Kalanin was
especially feared for a tacit admission that Moscow was half
circled with the Germans battling their way along the bay ap
proaches.
Although the Russians did not claim that the drive on Moscow
was not stopped, they emphasized that German losses were ter
rific. The Russfans were reported counter-attacking at some points
and were said to have thrown the Germans back 11 miles in one
of these sorties. Furthermore, snow was piling up on the battle
field, Soviet airplanes were said to command the sky, and an al
most inexhaustible flow of Russian reinforcements were stream
ing to the front.
BERLIN, Oct. 14. (UP) Nazi military spokesmen said to
night that Russian armies had suffered 6,000,000 casualties in
the 115 day campaign now surging to a decisive climax with the
shelling of Moscow's outer defenses by long-range German guns.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 14. (UP) President Roosevelt, confi
dent that lend-lease aid ultimately would defeat the Axis, revealed
today that deliveries under the program during September nearly
tripled average deliveries during the preceding six months.

DTH Requests
Applicants
New students, or old, interested in
working on the Daily Tab Heel this
year are requested to stop by the of
fice on the second floor of Graham
Memorial this afternoon at 2 o'clock.
Staff members are commanded to
make an appearance at the offices at
least once everr two days, Sylvan My
er, managing editor stated yesterday.
Approximately 25 new students and
freshmen were prsent at the first open
meeting of the Dialectic Senate last
night. Of these, several names were
proposed for induction inta the Senate
and application blanks were given all
who requested them.
The resolution that the clause in
the Honor Code requiring every stu
dent to report infractions of the code
be amended was defeated by 18-2.
The meeting was cut short by the
Student Entertainment presentation.
"In view of the interest manifested
by Senators and visitors on this vital
topic (Honor Code), ot seems evident
that students are still interested in dis
cussing matters connected with cam
pus life; and the Senate will be open
at any time to debating such questions,"
Louis Poisson, president, said last
night. j
Freshmen and transfer stu
dents, wearied by the rigors of
fraternity rushing take a recess
today before the last act of the
1941-42 season, tomorrow after
noon.
Previously notified by the In
terfratermty council, the new
men desirous of joining the Greeks
will march to Memorial hall tomor
row at 2 o'clock and appear before
Dr. J. C. Lyons, faculty adviser on
fraternities to state their preferences
and be directed to their future f rat
brothers.
Period of Silence.
Extending from 9 o'clock last night
until after the new men have appear
ed before Lyons, the period of silence
prohibits fraternity men from con
versing with the rushees at any time.
Communications by telephone or by
written notes are also barred.
John Thorp, president of the Inter
fraternity council, last night again
warned the Greeks to keep the period
of silence rule "to the letter" and
hinted at several violators, action on
whom is now pending before the Ex
ecutive committee of the council. He
also stated that three fraternities have
already been fined a large sum of
money for other infractions of the of
ficial rushing rules.
Pledging Fee
When the new men appear before
the faculty committee they will have
to post a one dollar pledging fee be
fore allowed to obtain their bids. They
will be asked to list the fraternities
of their choice in order of preference
and after consideration of bids issued
by the various campus houses, Lyons
will direct the prospective Greek to
the house of the man's highest choice
from which he received a bid, or invi
tation to join.
Indications last night led to the
general belief that more new men
were planning to join fraternities this
year than ever before in the history
of the University. i
Procedure
Revamped
By Chairmen
Year-Round Program
To Better Relations
Of Students, Faculty
Radically changing the proce
dure on the improvement of student-faculty
relations, John Oli
ver and Betty Woodhouse, co
chairmen of the committee an
nounced the abandonment of Stu
dent-Faculty Day and the at
tempted adoption of a year
round program which have more
features of interest to both
groups.
"We feel that we are justified in
making this change because, the stu
dents have found it convenient in the
past to consider this day as a holiday
on which they were free to sleep as
long as possible or to take a much
needed vacation away from the cam
pus," Miss " Woodhouse and Oliver
said.
Revision of Brainchild
In an effort to promote better stu
dent-faculty relations through the
medium of a program "which will
bring into play more objects of inter
est to both groups" Oliver and Miss
Woodhouse, in cooperation with the
faculty members who "recognize the
need for the revision of the fast-dying
brainchild of years gone-by" are try
ing to introduce a new enthusiasm for
the idea.
In a. statement to the Daily Tar
Heel, Oliver and Miss Woodhouse ask
ed the whole-hearted cooperation of
the students in promoting the new
program. The idea is to avoid the cre
ation of friendship and understanding
for only one day a year and to try t j
produce a relationship which will be
more permanent and lasting.
Asserting that there were many
ways tnat mutual interests may do
attained, Oliver and Miss Woodhouse
said that they felt that they were now
planning a program which would "en
able all concerned to capitalize on
these interests."
Monogram Club
To Make Refunds
Refunds will be made on the raffle
tickets purchased from the Monogram
club today, tomorrow, and Friday
mornings at Graham Memorial from
10:30 until 11 o'clock, Bob Gersten,
organization president announced yes
terday. "The stubs will have to be present
ed for the refund," Gersten stressed.
The raffle, to give a free trip to
New Orleans for the Tulane game
Saturday, was halted Monday by the
local police on the claim that it did
not comply with a Supreme Court
ruling.
Tourists
UNCGood- Will Delegation to South America
Impressed by Colorful Customs o f Latins
Lyons Conducts
Summer Tour
By Martha Alice Holland
Five Carolina students returning
from a summer tour of South America
say that among the high lights of their
trip was meeting the president of Peru,
colorful horseraces, skiing, mountain
rides, gay entertainments, and the dif
ferent customs of the people.
Dr. J. C. Lyons, French professor of
the University of North Carolina con
ducted the tour. A representation of
five from Carolina accompanied him,
and also students from a number of
other colleges. Those from Carolina
were, Miss Martha Alice Holland, Miss
Nancy Taylor, Billy Gilliam, Jack
Trotman, and Bernard Flatow. Miss
Francis Allison, University of South
Carolina student, was a member of the
party and is a transfer to Carolina
this year. The other colleges repre
sented were: University of Virginia,
Northwestern, Sarah Lawrence, Smith,
andWCUNC.
The tour was conducted under Presi
dent Roosevelt's plan to promote a bet
ter understanding among the Ameri
cas. Students studied Spanish, and
any other subject they desired at the
Escuela de Leyes de Universidas de
Chile.
As the ship sailed into harbor at
Valparaiso a small launch flying a
Carolina banner came out and escorted
the Santa Elena to dock. Everyone ad
mitted that the Carolina banner looked
grand so far from home. As the group
disembarked a small portable played
"Hark the Sound." The group of stu
dents from Santiago that had come
to meet us gave us a real South Ameri
can welcome with embraces and kisses,
The Club Hippico, one of the most
famous race tracks of the world, was
one of the most interesting things for
the students on Sunday afternoon.
Every Sunday the important people
of Santiago dress in their finest and
parade at the tracks. It is an institu
tion in South America. The stadium
is a huge place divided in sections for
the different classes of people. The
Jockey club is the highest caste, and
the president of the country is often
seen there. A number of rooms on
the bottom floor are used for placing
bets, bars, and parlors.
Tracks are covered with grass, and
surrounded by blossoming flowers.
I admit that I could be found there
every Sunday afternoon. It is a horse
man's paradise.
The Lima, Peru track was also quite
nice. It also was complete with the
beautiful blooming flowers, and well
cared for grass. However, it lacked
the natural setting that the Club Hip
pico had. On one side was the ocean
and on the other side the steeples of the
churches in Lima. The day I was there
was a national holiday and was one of
the most important festivals of the
year. Thepresident of Peru was to
present the winner of the big race with
a cup. The president's guard dressed
in colorful full dress uniform lined the
walks and halls of the Jockey club. The
Jockey club was filled with ambassa
dors from every country dressed in
formal afternoon dress complete with
top hats. I never had seen any thing
as impressive and amusing in my life.
One quite English ambassador chatting
with a German ambassador. It is a
wonder we didn't have a slight diplo
matic war, but all seemed jolly enough.
