For Budget
Class to Employ
Ballot Method
The 1941-42 budget will be presented
to the junior class for the second time
tomorrow at 10:30 in Gerrard hall.
Ballots with mimeographed copies of
the new budget will be distributed -to
the juniors who will simply affix their
signatures and return to the point of
distribution.
Johnny Satterfield will again play
for the occasion and as a special added
attraction, class president Sam Gam
bill promises a "big surprise for the
first 200 juniors to reach Gerrard hall."
In the first attempt to pass the bud
get last Thursday, approximately 150
juniors, less than half the number
needed to approve the measure, ap
peared in Memorial hall.
Gambill announced that at least 340
juniors will be needed to provide a
quorum. He urged that "as many
juniors as possible attend the meeting
in Gerrard hall so that further meet
ings will not be necessitated and the
class program for the year may be put
into action immediately."
Record Increase Noted
In NROTC Enrollment
Throughout First Year
By Ben McKinnon
Since the genesis of the United
States Naval Reserve Officers' Train
ing Corps at the University of North
Carolina in 1940, enrollment in the
tmit has almost doubled in only one
year. Last year, there were 100 stu
dents enrolled in the Navy unit, while
at the present time there are 197 a
record increase.
The Naval x ROTC functions so
smoothly and quietly that it receives
very little notice and practically no
publicity. If it were not for the im
maculate black uniforms that student
members wear to drill, many students
on the campus would be totally una
ware of the existence of this import
ant organization.
Primarily the purpose of this course
is to provide systematic training and
instruction in essential naval subjects
in order to qualify the graduates for
the United States Naval Reserve.
Captain R. S. Haggart, head of the
University Department of Naval Sci
ence and Tactics, is a commissioned
officer of the United States Navy and
has had considerable experience at sea.
He was especially selected by the
Navy Department for this duty. Cap
tain Haggart has his offices in Wool
len gymnasium along with other offi
cers of the unit.
Each year three -members of the
unit are selected by President Gra
ham to take an examination for appli
cation to the United States Naval
Academy at Annapolis.

poll queries. The IRC members will

Wednesday, percentages will be tabu

Nassau Sovereign, Princeton Univer
sity magazine.
Next Monday the Sovereign will send
complete tabulations of student opinion
on the Gallup questions completed from
results of polls in fifty colleges. -With
those tabulations will come first notice
of public opinion trend as chronicled
in Dr. George Gallup's nationally;pub-
licized questionnaire in coincidence with
the Intercollegiate Survey. Tabulations
will be published in next Tuesday's
Daily Tab Heel.
IRC recently signed as a member
of the Sovereign's Intercollegiate Sur
vey to conduct the Gallup poll at Car
olina. The Sovereign, cooperating with
Gallup, most famous public opinion
suveyor, staged its first intercollegi
ate poll early this month. IRC signed
up after investigation the value and
success of the first experiment.
Roger Mann, IRC president, disclosed
that the club will not add its own ques
tions to those provided by Gallup, al
though it has received such permission.
Those colleges which conducted the
first poll this month have already
praised the value of Gallup's newt col
legiate questionnaire. Results of the
first poll indicated that t;he nation's
undergraduates were still isolationists,
but "no longer can they be considered
as balking idealists trying to hold a
gainst the tide of events."
IRC's survey staff, arranging and
managing the poll, consists of Phillip
Griffith, Bob Michaels, Denman Ham
mond, Leon Young, Donald Moore, Bet
sy Ross Howe, Bill Montgomery, Paul
Rubenstein, Gloria Miller, Whitman
Osgood, Oran Brown and Betty Perry.

A Cheer for Carolina
Yackety- Yack
Annual Have
"Yackety Yack Ray Ray, Yackety
Yack Ray Ray." Ringing across pic
turesque Kenan stadium each fall and
going home with you at end of each
year these words "Yackety Yack" have
become taken for granted by the stu
dent body.
Contrary to fact, the majority of
Carolina students think Kay Kyser
originated the yell; he didn't. Far
back as 1901 the term "Yackety Yack"
was used in the Daily Tar Heel. Ky
ser, attending school in the twenties,
changed the rhythm of the then weak
yell; instead of going "Yackety Yack
Ray Ray," it went "Yacketyyackray
ray," as it does today. .
The idea for a permanent annual
first came to Carolina in 1889. Some
students felt that each outgoing class
should have something in which to keep
their college "memoirs.
Rallying first to the cause were the
Greek letter fraternities, the campaign
for an annual resulting in uniting them

Only outlet of alleged information,
Jake Wade, claimed in a sports article
in the Charlotte Observer that alumni
would meet in Chapel Hill today to dis
cuss plans for the establishment of 50
football scholarships for the Univer
sity. Wade, whq refused to disclose his
sourse of information to the Daily Tar

and high quarters intimated that he
may be on the "inside" of the movement.
Other official sources hinted that
Wade's "information" may have 'been
invented" to make news.
University Administrative officials
declined to comment on the outcome
of the present movement, although it
was suggested that "the move, if ap
proved by the alumni, may.be unfav

Chapel Speaker
Lincoln H. Lippincott, national sec
retary of the "Not Over 50" club will
speak in Freshman chapel, tomorrow
on "Town and Gown Awheel." He
will stress the importance of safe and
sane driving, particularly in relation
to national defense conservation of
gasoline, rubber and other material,
and will expound the axiom that rea
sonable speed means economy and
greater safety.
Since 1937 Lippincott has visited 31
states and Canada, and has made 641
safety talks to an audience of approxi
mately 185,000 people. He has a rich
background of safety and educational
experience, having taught safety in
several universities throughout the
country.
Because of the tremendous amount
of deaths and injuries on the nation's
highways during the past year, the
Not Over 50" club is sponsoring a
safety drive throughout the country,
using as its slogan, "Stop Accidents
Speed Defense."
John M. Foushee, Mayor of Chapel
Hill, who secured Lippincott for the
chapel program, has arranged that he
return here for a Rotary meeting on
December 10.

Madame Elsie Houston, who will ap

the truest sense of the word.
Born on the southern continent. of
the American hemisphere, she boasts
a definite tie with the United States
in her father, who is a great-grand
nephew of Sam Houston of Texas.
Well armed with the blood of pio
neers in her veins, Madame Houston
did pioneering on her own at an- early
age, and went to Europe to study with
the great Lille Lehmann. After sev
eral years' work in Paris, the singer
returned to her native Brazil. Then
she went, on to Buenos Aires to con
tinue her studies with Ninon Vallon,
the French soprano.

This, the first definite admission,
was the only indication that the ru
