Student Status Apparently Still Fall oiUncert "There is no assurance at what time students in the Army Enlisted Re serve will be called," W. D. Perry, di rector of the University War Infor mation Office, announced yesterday. Stimson's announcement was that "the exigencies of the war have now become such that it is now expected Sthat by the end of the college term beginning in September, those stu-0s- dent members of the reserve who CO have reached selective service age will all, or for the most part, be call ed to active duty and those reaching that age during subsequent terms will similarly be called."

Before registering, students must get in touch with their adviser or dean and get a registration permit. Upon getting the permit, students will then go to Memorial hall and register for their courses. Bills will be payable upon completion of regis tration.

A mem ber of the Naval Pre-flight Training school has been chosen to control Navy occupied buildings. During former blackouts, student participation has been termed as "ad mirable," by campus and town offi cials. Students are urged, however, to refrain from using lights and walking See BLACKOUT, page 3 ainty such facilities of their own or of the colleges as will best meet the cur rent military requirements. In gen eral, training after calling .will be highly specialized to qualify men for specific duty." This means that training units will probably be set up in colleges, par ticularly those with ROTC units, for students enlisted in the Army Re serve. Indications are that students upon entering active duty, will be put back in a college to study the spec ialized training required of them. It is clear that students cannot be taken into ; active : duty until such training centers are set up or until the Army makes other provision for See RESERVE, page S B OOF . jbigyptian Envoy Hasseii To Speak Here October 4 In IRC Opening Program Officials Predict Minister Will Give First-Hand Account of Desert Warfare Mahmoud Hassen Bey, Minister plenipotentiary of the Egyptian govern ment, will lead the International Relations club's fall series with an address Sunday afternoon, October 4. . Grady Morgan, IRC president, signed Egypt's envoy for a Chapel Hill speech last week during his visit to the royal legation. According to IRC officers, Hassen will give a first-hand picture of the war m Egypt. Full title and content of the address has not yet been received. -Decorated six times by the world's highest diplomatic and military or ders, Hassen boasts a professional career in the legations and courts of France, ' Belgium, Czechoslovakia, Sweden, United States and Egypt.

The IRC's speaker is officially re garded as the highest ranking official of the Egyptian government in this country. S&F Starts Season With 'U proarious' College Night Show Sound and Fury officially opened up the 1942 entertainment season at Carolina with a bang by presenting an uproarious, orginal variety show called "This Can Happen to You," written by Tiny Hutton, Arty Fischer, and Ben Hall. Hutton, in his usual role of master of ceremonies, opened the program with a little ditty. Immediately follow ing, Melvin Wald and his navy swing band, lent through the courtesy of Lt. John P. Graff, gave out with some "swell" versions of "One O'clock Jump," "Sky Lark," and the good old "St. Louis Blues." Fred Caligan and Libby Izen, gave an exhibition of tap-dancing to the tune of "Tea for Two." The students really enjoyed Libby's flashing legs and Caligan's twinkling toes. In be tween the acts, comedies on the style of "Hell-z-Apoppin' " were carried out in a real professional manner, keeping the show on its toes and causing the students to rock with laughter. Extra DTH Issues Available On Campus The mass movement of students into town residences has complicated the task of delivering the Daily Tab Heel every morning to the doorstep of each individual student. Until office work necessary in the classification of student address cards is completed the DTH cannot assure complete and accurate distribution. Students not getting the DTH de livered at their residences may secure copies each day for the next week in the lobbies of the YMCA and Graham Memorial student union. Students are requested to wait several days before lodging complaints to the circulation office. mm Rooms Given AH Student Applicants Armstrong Finds Majority Satisfied "We have gotten along much better than ever anticipated in finding stu dent's rooms", Roy Armstrong, con troller of town housing for students, announced yesterday as "everybody who has applied for a room here has been accommodated". With the Naval Pre-Flight School occupying ten men's dormitories, the rooming situation promised to be acute with a normal number of freshmen re turning fall quarter. "Cooperation among town residents and expanded capacity of non-Navy dorms has solved the. housing problem", .-Armstrong stated. ' Rooms are still available for stu dents who have not yet found rooming accommodations for the ; quarter. Though rooms "under the shadow of South building" have all been taken, students may still obtain town rooms easily accessible to the campus. Approximately 1,000 students have been assigned locations in town with a surplus of rooms still .remaining. Almost 500 town homes now contain University students, it was estimated yesterday. A large map has been installed in director Armstrong's office indicating by pins the location of town homes now fully occupied and those yet unfilled to capacity. Students have an oppor tunity of offering preference of the un filled homes. "Though there is some grumbling because of distance from the campus and other circumstances", Armstrong stated, "the majority of students and townsfolk are satisfied with the con ditions imposed upon them because of the exigencies of the war".

Appointment of a new editor will be made by the Publications Union board, probably this week. Morton's inability to return to the University is the first case of a student entering the army forces to hit Carolina publications. Ben Snyder, president of the board, said yesterday that applications from students, preferably publications men, should be in his hands as soon as possi ble. Morton was elected in regular spring elections last year to head this year's yearbook. First news that he was pre paring to enlist into the Army reached (Dill Registration Reaches 2900 In Two Days Graham Welcomes Students Friday An armored and mechanized Uni versity of North Carolina opens its 149th year with an estimated enroll ment of 2900 freshmen and upper classmen as registration ended yes terday. Facing its fourth war since the opening of the "oldest state univer sity in the nation," UNC is promoting the victory effort to a more absolute degree than it has ever done before in its wartime history. Silent and unoccupied during the Civil War, patriotic and cavalier dur ing the Spanish-American War, belli gerent and martial during World War I, the University is now all-out for a United Nations' victory with its en tire facilities and program actively prosecuting the war effort. President Frank Porter Graham will return from Washington Friday to develop this theme at 11 o'clock in Memorial hall in a student body convocation which will officially open the University. All students are ex cused from their 11 o'clock classes to attend the program. The University has been training for war for two and one-half years. It has fulfilled its promises of last year to "generate the full power of the school to serve the American peo ple as the nation's college, to train the country's youth to help in the preservation of democracy, to mobilize educational resources in , promoting these principles." Because of its adequate and heavy foundation and because of its active prosecution of belligerent plans, the University has become one of Ameri ca's leading institutions in promoting the war and victory. Carolina "looked ahead in 1941" and foresight has en abled her to be now a "University completely geared to the war effort." Dr. Graham, at present serving on See WARTIME; page 3 House to Address Frosh in Initial Chapel Meeting Chapel for Carolina freshmen, a cus tom made obligatory by time, will be gin for the class of '46 tomorrow, with an address by Dean House on the prob lems facing the incoming class as a re sult of our war effort in general and the Naval Base in particular. According to Dean Roland B. Park er, who is directing arrangements for the programs, the Chapel sessions will differ in one major respect from their predecessors: those who speak from its rostrum will be there because they have something of vital freshman im portance to discuss, not because they merely want to exercise their talent for public speaking. On Saturday, the subject for con sideration will be that of fraternity rushing. Parker and other speakers will attempt to clarify the many rami fications of fraternity rushing. the campus only a few days before first students were arriving. Morton's last batch of photographs, taken of the football team several weeks ago, ar rived from Wilmington at the Univer sity News Bureau several days ago. All are described with the usual "terrific." The pictures are now being distrib uted to state-wide newspapers. ' Famed for his versatility and ex ceptional technique in the field, Mor ton claimed fame in all university publications within three years. His glamor, action, landscape, trick and news shots have flourished continually on the pages of The Daily ,Tar Heel, Carolina Magazine, Tar an' .Feathers, Yackety-Yack and other University periodicals. Several of his pictures have been bought by nationally famous magazines, including Life.
