John Thorp, president of the Interfraternity council, revealed last night that approved copies of the pro posed Coed Entertainment regulations had been received from the remainder of the 22 fraternity houses on the campus, and stated that the agree ment could go into immediate effect. " University administration" an"dthe Woman's Association rules previously. Formula tors The agreement conditions were for mulated by a student committee rep resenting the Interfraternity council, Woman's Association, Student council and students on the campus. The com mittee designed the plan to permit fraternities to entertain coeds without chaperons. Important issue of the agreement is the visiting hours arrangement. Present provisions state that coeds must leave fraternity houses by 10:30 PM.week days and by midnight Fri days, Saturdays and Sundays. It also provides for girls to be in rooms and boys, out of houses on houseparty nights. Student leaders are anxious to amend and liberalize the ' hour pro visions, but such action will not be taken immediately. The entertainment privileges agree ment rules that only social rooms, halls, porches and dining- halls on the first floors of houses will be open to coeds, and no alcoholic beverages may be served in the presence of women guests. Coeds may visit fraternity houses after dances only when there is an organized reception or party See FRATS APPROVE, page U Next Week ?

The officers to be elected next week include the president, vice president, secretary and treasurer. The election of the class honor council has been postponed until a later date.

The desperate straits of the Red capitol, around which a battle of un precedented: size and " fury was wag- Deep South Report New Orleans Prepares for Game Tomorrow; Tulane Rooters Heavily Back Home Team By Harry Hollingsworth NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 17. This town is all excited over the intersec- tional clash here tomorrow afternoon between football teams representing the University of North Carolina and Tulane University, but there was no money in town that would be planked down on the Tar Heels unless odds of at least 3-to-l were offered. That's just how much the home folks here think of the Green Wave, and everyone is talking about how Red Dawson's team, reportedly the heaviest collegiate team in the United States, is going to make mince meat of Carolina's 192-pound line and wring the Chapel Hill dust from Car olina's pony backfield corps. Tulane Beaten Last Week Tulane, like Carolina, was beaten last week, but Tulane, unlike Caro line, entered its game with Rice fav orites to take a overwhelming victory. Tulane didn't, was licked 10-9 on a fourth quarter field goal, and is so up set over its drop in the national rank ings that the team has driven itself hard all week to make a good come back showing against North Carolina. Carolina, as the men on the streets are saying, has everything to win and nothing to lose in tomorrow's game, and the Tar Heels will be shooting for their first major victory this season. An excellent performance by Ray Wolf's men against Fordham last Sat urday in Chapel Hill aroused some speculation' here that the Tar Heels may,- this week, be prepared to hit their stride. Experts Favor Tulane But even in' spite of all that, the natives in this section are supporting the Green Wave with enthusiastic glee, and the "experts" have done nothing except give the victory to Tu lane. N Carolina's team, 32 strong, was ex pected to arrive in New Orleans to morrow morning, and go in seclusion in the St. Charles hotel, center of ac tivity for Tar Heel supporters, until game time. v - Ray Wolf is expected to start prac tically the same team against Tulane which played most of the time in the Fordham game. Emil Serlich, Ray Jor dan and Johnny Miller are the only newcomers. Serlich' replaces Joe Austin, injured last week, in the wingback position. Light and fast, the shifty halfback got loose for a 55-yard kickoff return against Fordham and is a definite threat on reverses and pass-catching. Jordan to Start at Fullback Jordan comes back to the first team as starting fullback. He is a tall and rangy back and isn't built on the usual lines of fullback. He's much faster, but packs much wallop in his drives. He had the best average of any Carolina back against Fordham. x The third man Johnny Miller takes Howard Hodges' place at end. See NEW ORLEANS, page 4 ments including German and Ruman ian capture of Odessa after a two months siege. The Germans had captured and passed Kalanin to the north of Mos cow and Kaluga to the south and from the west were storming into the cities' outer fortifications. An ominous news blackout envelop ed the Red capitol and Soviet govern ment but in other world capitols it was said that the new seat of govern ment would probably be Kazam, 450 miles to the east. A London dispatch said Premier Joseph Stalin and other leaders re mained behind to direct the descent of the defeat of world communism. WASHINGTON, Oct. 16. The House completed all but one hour of general debate tonight on the Administration-sponsored resolution to per mit arming of merchant ships and adjourned until 11 AM tomorrow with a vote on passage scheduled for the afternoon. Democratic leaders pre dicted that there would be a 100-150 "aye" vote for passage. TOKYO, (Friday), Oct. 17.

House nor the See NEWS BRIEFS, page U The Chapel Hill Merchants Associ ation last night stated officially that they had found no evidence of price discrimination over last weekend, but emphasized that the association was unanimously opposed to any illicit price variations, especially in the case of sol diers. One member of the board stated that the article appearing in Tuesday's Daily Tab Heel was "hitting below the belt," and "uncalled for" in that the headline and story generalized to the extent that all Chapel Hill mer chants were condemned for an action entirely local. ft aiib iiaiu "What we want is names," was the opinion common among the merchants' executive committee. The board ex pressed their wish that the Tar Heel publish immediately or at any future occasion the names of individual of fenders. "We feel that it is much bet ter for single merchants to be con demned rightfully- than to attack all town merchants publicly. "We will consider the ostracizing of any association member if we are given sufficient evidence of the member's price discrimination." The text of the official statement prepared at last night's meeting by C. W. Shields, president of the Mer chant's Association, follows: Official Statement "The directors of the Chapel Hill Merchants Association met tonight and considered the question raised by the Daily Tar Heel in the Tuesday issue. No evidence justifying the allegations of the Daily Tar Heel has been found by the officers of the Association. The Association is, however, opposed to any price changes which discriminate a gainst any group, especially the sol diers who visit this town.

Both Miss Sheppard and Lashman were prominent as reporters on the staff of the Daily Tar Heel. They will end their enrollment at Carolina. The short history of Washington's young-man-in-a-hurry is an interest ing one.
