In an address in which Graham looked "down the centuries and back to this, the world's darkest hour," he declared that "the impact of this war is focused everywhere, in countryside, town, and village, and in no village in America more than in the little village of Chapel Hill. The Univer sity and the Pre-Flight School are both training for the military and naval services America's fittest young men who already are carrying the fight for freedom to all the seas, lands, and skies of the globe." Student Adjustment President Graham asked that every student adjust his "total self, stripped of fat, laziness, luxury, softness of body, flabbiness of mind and will" to the requirements that a tough war will demand of him. Establishing a per sonal martial note, he declared it the right and duty of all students to live clean and work with concentration. Reviewing rapidly the cardinal points in the University's wartime program, he brought out that "Ameri ca has just begun, the University has just begun, and the individual stu dent here begins to go all out for war." Graham made no statement as to future Carolina war plans, how ever. War Center "The -University of the people is an outpost against the counter-revolution (of Naziism), a focus of civilization, and a chief stake of this revolution ary, total global war," Graham stated as he drew an outline of the Univer sity as the strategic center of total See GRAHAM, page U Frat Managers Reorganize Setup At First Session After two years of relative inacti vity, the Fraternity House Managers association held its first meeting of the year Thursday night.

The capacity of the new pumping system will be doubled from 1,000,000 to 2,000,000 gallons when the 12-inch concrete and asbestos pipe is laid some time in December. Water department heads reported that in June of thi 'W'wr ii 4 i i wens JricKea For Horner On PU Board Editor to Be Chosen For Yackety Yack Professor William S. Wells, associate professor in English, has been appoint ed to the Publications Union board this fall replacing George F. Horner, Ben Snyder, board president, announc ed last night. Before coming to Carolina in 1935, Wells taught in Stanford university and got his PhD there in 1935. He re ceived his AB in 1929 and his MA in 1930 at the University of Southern California and also studied at Harvard. For five years Wells was an adviser in the general college. Horner, who was an assistant pro fessor in English, had served two years on the PU board before leaving for Camp Lee in Virginia. He is work ing with other former Carolina teach ers in revising and writing textbooks for the Quartermaster Corps. In 1921 he got his AB and in 1924 his MA, both at Pennsylvania State college; he re ceived his PhD at Carolina in 1938. " The PU board will begin to make their selection of the Yackety Yack ed itor Monday afternoon. However, the board might also have to select a new YY business manager. Bahnson Gray, present business manager, may resign. He is in the Army Reserve and is tak ing the special pre-induction course started this year. Thus far three candidates have made applications to Snyder, and several oth ers are expected before the Monday deadline. Lanier Reports Federal Aid Hits $38,325 Government aid to the University's self-help program in the form of NYA funds has been set at $17,280 with an additional $21,045 being allotted un der the Federal Loan Fund plan, Ed S. Lanier, director of the self-help of fice, announced yesterday. The government NYA allotment has now been completely awarded to eligi ble students; however, no awards have been made under the Federal Loan Fund. All students meeting the require ments stipulated by the government for the Loan Fund will be sent letters from the self-help office giving de tailed information about the fund. The form letter will be mailed today. To be eligible for a government loan students must be majoring in physics, chemistry, medicine, or pharmacy and must be within two years of gradua tion from July 1 of this year. Obtain ing a government loan in no way al ters a students standing under the Se lective Service Act. The loan will be withdrawn if the student is drafted. tra. Johnny will not be on the band stand, having been called to the Army, but Bob Montgomery, who has taken over the baton, will front the band. Other musicians in the group include Wade Denning, hot trumpeter and ar ranger; Bucky Walker, tenor sax; George David, trumpet, and Nelson Benton, drummer. Featured vocalists are Anne Russell of Raleigh and Jimmy Hancock who sing the blues choruses. This is the Satterfield orchestra that V recently broke all attendance records at Vir 'Stm -$ 3year Chapel Hill and the University were within 20 minutes of an acute water shortage when the 300,000 gal lon tank and 150,000 gallon reserve tank were almost dry. University engineers realized the need of additional pumping facilities at the close of the spring quarter but decided to chance another summer un til definite action could be taken. Following the completion of the dig ging and laying of the new system, more storage space will be built, be cause a 2,000,000 gallon daily pump ing capacity is wasted unless the water can be stored for emergencies. Water from the lake is pumped di rectly to the University filter plant for purifying. At present total stor age is less than half the pipeline ca pacity which forces the station to dis continue pumping when both tanks are full. Delivery date of the long planned water facilities is November 15, with William Muirhead of Durham signed as contractor. Carolina Pep Rally Draws 1,700 Cheering, Bellowing Students Cheering their hearts out for the dear, old blue and white, of Carolina, 1,700 students gathered in Memorial hall last night to officially welcome King Football back to the campus and to show the spirit which they will demonstrate when the Wake Forest gridsters invade Kenan stadium today for their annual tussle with the Tar Heels. The rally began with a parade which formed at Swain hall and marched down Cameron avenue, turned at Co lumbia street, marched down Frank lin, and back up Cameron to Memorial hall. The parade was led by the Uni versity band and the cheerleaders. President Denny Hammond of the University club, the organization which sponsored the rally introduced Chief Cheerleader Frank Alspaugh, who in turn presented his staff of cheerleaders for this year. Numerous yells were given. A short talk was given by Coach Jim Tatum who expressed his appre ciation for the spirit shown by the students. He promised them his team would fight every inch of the way to bring in a victory over the Demon Deacons. Hammond introduced this year's co See RALLY, page U Entire DTH Staff Must Meet Today Staff members of the Daily Tar Heel are to meet in the news offices this morning at 12 o'clock.

Hussey, 203-pound junior from High Point, will start - at end for Carolina. Hampered by ; injuries last fall, he has shown great promise in practice. Michaels, a senior, will be the biggest man on either team, weighing 215 pounds. Carolina Begins Rushing Period At an unusually early date and for the shortest period in Carolina fra ternity history, rushing will begin tomorrow when freshmen who have re ceived invitations will make their initial visits to various fraternity houses. The "invites" will be distributed today from 9 until 12 o'clock in the Horace Williams lounge of Graham Memorial and all freshmen expecting invitations must call there to receive them between1 those hours. No invitations will be delivered in dividually this year due to the un availability of a complete list of fresh men addresses. Bucky Osborne, presi dent of the Interf raternity council, has therefore urged that all freshmen ex pecting bids call for them between the hours mentioned above. Bids will not be distributed at any other place or at any other time. In previous years rushing has lasted for ten days but due to complaints by the faculty and students that it has seriously interfered with academic work, and because of the new speed-up schedules, it will last only six days this year. Hours for rushing, however, have been extended a half an hour in the evenings Monday through Thurs day when it will last from 7:30 until 10:30. On Sunday there will be two periods of rushing, one from 2 until 6 o'clock and the other from 7 until 10 o'clock. Friday rushing will begin at 7:30 and end at midnight. Due to the shortened period, Osborne has urged all freshmen to cooperate in every way so that there will be as lit tle confusion as possible. Vocational Books To Be Available At Library A large collection of vocational books, supervised by Dr. W. D. Perry and Miss Elizabeth Huntley, will be available soon at the college library, Mr. G. E. Shepard announced yes terday. Collected for the purpose of aiding and advising students who plan to en ter various fields, the books will be stacked opposite the general circula tion desk on the second floor. All of them will be placed on the oaken shelves for easy procurement. The group will include books on physics, art, chemistry, medicine, edu cation, and many other subjects dealt with in the college curriculum. From them the student, freshman or senior, will be almost certain to find material of service in the planning of his career. Members of the library staff have supplied biographical ex amples from the lives of outstanding men in each field. Certain key reference volumes are obtainable for those especially inter ested. These give more complete bibliographies covering large numbers of books on specialized subjects under the general headings. Included , in these larger collections are novels con cerning many of the vocations. , Shepard" stressed that this is & work ing collectionv 11 Teaie In Of Tot a Sophomores Hold Key To Carolina Success By Bill Woestendiek Making up in fighting spirit what it lacks in experience, a Caro lina football team of unknown quality takes the field against a slightly favored Wake Forest eleven in Kenan stadium 'today in a Southern conference clash that marks the first game of the :;:x:x::::::;.n w:-:K-w-:-:--:-:s::.svx x: -'..s Shortest Tomorrow Fall Enrollment Creeps to 3,276, Griffin Reports Registration totals crept to 3,276 yesterday as students continued to straggle through late registration tally lines, I. C. Griffin, director of Central Records office announced. Enrollment is approximately 1,000 students below normal this year as a direct result of the war. Carolina gentlemen are becoming United States soldiers, and the increase in the num ber of coeds enrolled does not make up for the number of men lost to the armed forces. Before enrollment began last Mon day with the registration of freshmen, it was anticipated that the total num ber of students registered this year would decrease approximately 500 compared with last year's record total of 4,100. The 1,000 student difference was unexpected, but marks a trend toward lower and lower enrollment until the winning of the war. During the first World War the University was transformed into an Army camp with dorms converted to barracks and the curriculum rear ranged to meet Army requirements. While cooperating in every respect with the victory effort, the Univer sity has thus far retained its status as a liberal institution of learning. Spanish Reading Exam The reading knowledge examination in Spanish for the School of Commerce will be held this afternoon at 1 o'clock in 312 Murphey. r. ,' .V,.-.-.-. Koch Playmaker Lecture To Launch 25th Season Dr. Frederick H. Koch will open the 25th season of the Carolina Pla'ymak ers tomorrow at 8 : 30 in the Playmakers theater by recounting some of his many adventures in playmaking as founder of the Carolina Playmakers and dean of American folk drama. In his appearance before students and the general public Sunday night, Professor Koch will tell "The Story of the Carolina Playmakers," illustrated with more than a hundred slides, trac ing a quarter of a century of the de velopment of folk drama at the Univer sity and elsewhere. During the talk of his pioneering days, "Proff" will call up the names of such distinguished Playmakers as Thomas Wolfe and Paul Green, who were with him in the beginning,, and 0 peaer I War9 season for both teams. The kickoff is scheduled for 3 o'clock. An entirely new, all-alumni coach ing staff headed by Jim Tatum has been working long and hard on the Tar Heel club in an effort to get the Blue and White gridders in shape for today's tough opener with the veteran Deacon outfit. With the exception of Bob Heymann, first string tackle, and George Sparger, reserve end, both of whom are sidelined with injuries, the Tar Heels are in the best possible shape. Several of Carolina's many sopho more prospects figure prominently in today's set-up and the play of these second year men will go a long way towards deciding the outcome. Billy Myers, Chan Highsmith, Joe Wright and Ralph Strayhorn are all likely starters, while Sam Arbes, Anry Kar res, Meredith Jones, Walt Pupa, John Tandy and Jim Stringfield should also see action. Austin At Wingback Coach Tatum was undecided about his starting backfield selections yes terday with the exception of Co-Captain Joe Austin, who is sure to start at wingback. Either Billy Myers, bril liant sophomore, or Shot Cox will get the nod at tailback. Both men are triple-threat backs from whom a great deal is expected. Johnny Pecora, senior tailback, has been slowed up by a cold and is not likely to see much service. Clay Croom is the likely choice at fullback, for he has been outstanding this week in practice sessions. His defensive work has improved a great deal and he also looked good on of fense. It is possible, however, that Bill Sigler, whose strong forte is kick ing, may start. He is sure to see ac tion. Either Joe Wright or Mike Cooke will hold down the blocking back post. Wright has looked impres sive in workouts, while Cooke has been moved back from center and is adapt ting himself quickly to his new role. He is also a capable kicker. Toby Webb will understudy Joe Austin, while soph Walt Pupa is another back likely to see some service. The Tar Heel forward wall will also contain a pair of sophs. Jack Hussey and Craven Turner, both juniors, will be at the end spots. Ed Michaels and Joe Wolf will handle the tackles while, Co-Captain Tank Marshall and soph Ralph Strayhorn will start at guard. Chan Highsmith, who has looked good at center, will be the starting pivot man today. The Tar Heel line will be a heavy one, but the Deacons' is still bigger with more experience. Deacon Line Is Big The Wake Forest eleven has a vete ran line averaging over 200 pounds. The Deacs forward wall has held the Tar Heels scoreless for two years. The middle of the Baptist line is made up entirely of experienced players. Captain Pat Preston and George Owens will be at the guard spots and Tony Rubino and Buck Jones will take See WAKE'S PASSES, page 3 with the aid of slides of their early plays will show what part they played in furthering the cause of native dra ma.
