Student Defense Center to Start Volunteer Drive
B 4
'Large Carolina Enlistment Essential
To UNC Program Success,' Says Harris
FiiDy organized with all details worked out by the central ex
ecutive committee, the Carolina Student Civilian Defense center
will initiate a drive for volunteer student enlistment next Tuesday.
The campaign for volunteers will
last throughout Tuesday and Wednes-
day with enlistment tables being es
tablished in strategic points on the
campus.
Tremendous Job
"Now that the tremendous job of
organization and establishment has
been completed, it will be possible to
enlist students in all the various fields
of work," said Louis Harris, student
coordinator, yesterday.
Permanent offices have been estab
lished for the Student Civilian Defense
Center on the second and third floors
of Memorial hall. All executive, infor
mation, and office work will be done
there, and students are urged "to drop
by next week and get acquainted with
the officials and the program."
The five general headings under
which students may volunteer for
training include: civilian protection,
civilian information, Red Cross work,
nutrition, and general staff and. office
work.
Training Essential
"One of the main objectives of the
drive for student enlistment is to train
students for work in their homes. Al
though, the possibility of an air raid
in Chapel Hill is remote, many stu
dents come from metropolitan areas
of regions of intense defense industry,
and the air raid possibilities there are
more important. These students will
have an opportunity to receive train
ing unobtainable in any other cviil
unit," said Pat Winston, head of the
Information Service.
Desks will be located in the YMCA,
Graham Memorial lobby, Library, and
Lenoir Dining hall. Each desk will be
manned by trained student personnel
and equipped with information and en
listment cards.
"It is important that many stu
dents enlist " said Harris. "Informa-
work and the organization of
tion
panels and discussion groups to ap-
pear throughout the state is work that
the student is especially equipped to
do. All students should take advantage
of this opportunity to receive expert
training in many fields and assist the
defense program," he added.
Coeds especially were urged to en
ter the "training and work in con
junction with the local Red Cross
unit." The production of bandages,
clothing, knitting, and sewing are of
"greatest importance" in the manage
ment of welfare groups throughout
the state and nation.
Air raid wardens, demolition crews,
ham radio crews, decontamination
crews, and driver's corps are included
under the civilian protection .program.
Training by experts is offered in all
these and pther f ields
Must Look Like Student
For Successful Riding,
Says Old Hitch HiKer
Wear glasses, assume the proper
stance and stay out of overalls if you
really want to go places via the hitch-
hike route. o.
That's the advice of Lafayette Boal,
veteran of more thin 85,000 miles .of
hitch-hiking and Pittsburgh's conten
der for the national thumb-jerking
championship. . ,
"Drivers are not afraid to pick me
up because of the way I dress and be
cause I'm a studious type," Boal ex
plained on his return from a recent
transcontinental "hike."
"I wear a business suit and keep
smoothly shaven. Wearing glasses is
another factor of my success. Drivers
tell me this gets me rides because they
are not afraid to pick me up."
Boal outlined his idea of the proper
hitch-hiker's stance: "I get out on the
edge of town and face the approaching
driver with my thumb out. I stand so
the motorist can get a good look at
me and then just wait for the law of
averages."
Boal, whose longest single "lift," was
from Coeur d'Alene, Ida., to Winona,
iimn. 1,600 miles warned bovs a
gainst leaving home for hitch-hiking
adventures. Some states have laws
against hitch-hiking.

Pan American Summer School
Students to Dock Tuesday;
New York Reception Planned
Dr. Lyons to Welcome Sudamericanos;
Arrival Will End Secret Ocean Trip
By Bob Levin
Preparation for the launching of the second South American summer school
reached.a climax today as Dr. J. C. Lyons, executive-secretary of Carolina's
Inter-American Institute, completed arrangements to leave for New York City
where he will officiate at the welcoming of the Sudamericanos, who are ex
pected to dock sometime Tuesday afternoon.
All campus cooperation plans were feverishly rushed to completion as Chapel
Hillians, University Leaders and stu-
dents busily practicing Spanish phrases
of . welcome for the long awaited
"friendly invasion by the South Amer
ican party."
Institute officials of New York to
gether with Dr. Lyons and other prom
inent leaders will meet the students at
the dock and initiate the good will pro
gram prepared for them in New York.
Sightseeing tours of points of interest
and a formal dinner reception will be
tendered the delegation. .
They will leave New York for Ral
eigh and will arrive in the capital next
Saturday night. As yet there has been
no word received from State Depart
ment heads in Raleigh concerning the
program to be organized for their ar
rival, but definite steps will be taken
following the return of Governor
Broughton.
Most important of yesterday's com
mittee meetings was that of the func
tioning committee who set up plans
for a special chapel period next Mon
day where students will have an op
portunity to welcome the visitors and
show them an example of Carolina's
"hospitality." The committee is ar
ranging to have President Graham pre
sent the students to the Latins if he
is available.

Students Jammed Post Office
Before Mail Deliveries Began
By Mike Beam
If Father Time were to become mis
chievous, and cast us back 15 years
into the past, prohably one of the first
extraordinary scenes, you would notice
would be a pushing, shoving, milling
mass of students mobbed in front of the
Franklin Street Post Office. This
sight was not at all uncommon before
1923. as there was no city mail delivery
service and it was necessary to call at
the Post Office.
Just as one of the daily rites of the
present generation is for the drug-store
moguls to line up on Franklin Street
and set the key chains twirling, it was
a part of the daily routine to make one's
self a part of the bedlam attempting
to squeeze itself into a Post Office al
ready crowded to capacity.
When a number of individuals would
simultaneously hit upon the idea of go
ing to town for the daily mail, as often
was the case, the crowd massed in front
of the stucco building on Franklin
Street was not of inconsiderable size.
From daybreak until dark there was
a continuous line stretching from the
post office to the corner of Henderson
and Franklin streets. After 1 o'clock
in the afternoon, the line was usually
so swelled with additions it was nee-

Tar Heels Exhibit
Air-Tight Defense
Agrainst Favorites
By Ben Snyder
Playing a cautious, heady ball game
from gun to gun, Bill Lange's White
Phantoms completely bottled up a
highly regarded Fordham offense in
Woollen gym last night as the Dixie
entry in the annual Battle of the Rams
won handily, 34-25.
It was a sticky, tenacious Carolina
defense that stole the show in the sea
son's opener on the local court, and
a near capacity crowd went home
ward with the conviction that Lange's
Tar Heels, vastly underrated in con
ference circles, would once again give
a great account of themselves in the
Southern title race to come.
Wondering what to expect after the
loss of some of the best basketball
timber ever to play at the University,
the Carolina student body came an
ticipating at best a mediocre brand
of fast breaking basketball. Instead it
was a deliberate, winning game that
stalked the opposition before striking
swiftly and effectively from the foul
line, from afield and from skillful
screening and pick-off plays.
Rams Soundly Beaten
Coach Ed Kelleher's visiting club
was a soundly beaten, disorganized
outfit before the evening was over as
Captain Bob Rose and the Carolinians
stepped deftly to a convincing victory.
At only one point in the game, follow
ing John Carroll's free throw conver
sion in the opening moments, were
the Rams ahead.
Then with only 25 seconds of play
insr time erone, forward Julian Smith
dropped a pretty set shot from the left
side court to place the Phants in the
van for good. Carroll traded field at

Senior Teachers
To Meet Tuesday
A meeting for senior undergradu
ate teachers will be held Tuesday morn
ing at 10:30 in 204 Peabody. The pur
pose of the meeting is to discuss with
students the question of certification
and to give out blanks to be filled in
as part of the placement program.
All senior education students are re
quested to plan to secure the First Aid
course and a First Aid certification by
the time of graduation. The First Aid
course is felt to be a very definite peace
time need.
There are approximately 95 teachers
who will be qualified by certification
at the end of the 1942 scholastic year.
pessary to double back in order to pre-'
vent blocking the highway to traf ic.
But finally came a new era. In No
vember, 1923, city mail delivery was in
augurated. Had the situation remained
unchanged, the present size of the Uni
versity would present quite a picture
in attempting to obtain its daily mail;
resembling somewhat the frantic
crowds that line up in Woollen Gym
for registration.
The Chapel Hill Post Office received
a first class rating in- 1926.' Most
towns of Chapel Hill's size can boast
of no more than a third class rating.
It is perhaps interesting to note the
various types of mail which pass thru
the office. The University extension
bureau probably sends and receives
more mail than any other single agency
on the campus. However, an extra
ordinary number of postal cards passes
through the post office, coming for
the most part from the business office,
the various deans, the library, and the
students, who instead of writing let
ters, effect a saving by sending postal
cards.
Many packages marked "Perishable,"
and the number of letters marked "Per-'
sonal," by far exceeds the amount of
this type of mail coming into towns of
similar size.
