Rulings To Give
Students Power
By Bob Levin
The Student Legislature will hold
their first meeting of the year at 7:45
in the Phi hall tomorrow to decide the
fate of the three amendments giving
more power and representation to stu
dents in government.
Constitution rulings call for a two
thirds majority of the legislature to
pass on the bill before it can be pre
sented for student vote. It is impera
tive that all legislators attend tomor
row night's meeting so that the bill can
be put through in time for a general
campus' election Wednesday.
Under the proposed amendments
students will be given1 the power to
override any act or section of an act
by a "simple majority" referendum
instead of the former 50 percent of the
student body voting on the bill.
Amendments
Amendments to the constitution it
self may be passed by the same ruling
of a "simple majority" provided the
legislators first O. K. the proposed
change by a two-thirds vote.
This change has been suggested by
the ways and means committee as a
solution to the expected number of
changes that must be made in the in
stitution of a rapidly expanding school
during war time. .
Long's committeemen have worked
out a representative seating chart to
take care of the increased number of
students living in town and dormr
tories this year. The amendment up for
consideration will give two additional
seats to town students, the interfra-
ternity council will be given one extra
seat and the Woman's Government as-'
sociation will be alloted an extra seat
of last year.
Further plans for Wednesday's
election will be announced after the
Legislature votes on the three amend
ments tomorrow night.

Carolina Pre-Induction Course
In Serving Pressing Demands
By Larry Dale
Quandry killing seems to be a dis
tinction gained by UNC.
Secretary of War Stimson's revela
tion that the army intended to take
every able-bodied man as soon as he
reached draft age, according to "Time"
(Sept. 28) brought college presidents
to Washington to bemoan the approach
ing death of higher education.
Their complaints - that undergrad
uates didn't know whether to continue
their training or rush out and get in
to uniform ; that they didn't know what
courses would be of value in an army
career; that the continual vieing for
enlisted reserves by Army, Navy, Ma
rines, War Manpower Commission, and
industry bewildered students pressed
by the necessity of choosing; that va
riation between the policies of these
groups in snatching reservists kept
students in suspense; that while the
government clamored for trained spec

Slated for Tonight
The Social Committee plays its
trump card tonight in an effort to
put Carolina on a nation-wide hook
up, when Hobie McKeever and his
committeemen inaugurate . the first

The University will take the first
major step toward the fulfillment of
Dr. Frank Graham's "three meals a

tical. They signed up for the privilege
of taking a course that college stu
dents of a year ago would have shied
away from like the infirmary during
the week before a big dance. Included
was the privilege of taking a half hour
of close-order drill under the direc
tion of members of the Chapel Hill
Naval Pre-flight school staff. A race
over the navy's obstacle course came
next on the program. Popularity of the
track was testified to in three Tar Heel
articles and a Durham Sun story, writ
ten especially to malign it. Training in
boxing, wrestling, swimming, and
sports fills out the hour and a half of
physical training for the day.
Completing the curriculum are

Rushees Make Decisions
On Fraternities Today
New men students may settle back to a more normal college life as the
last period of silence between fraternity and new men ends this afternoon
at 5 o'clock. V -
With six of the most hectic days of fraternity rushing in Carolina history
past, rushees will indicate today their choice of fraternities to a member of
the faculty committee on fraternities
and will then be directed to the house
of the fraternity of his choice where
he will be officially pledged.
Gerrard hall will be open from 2
until; 5 o'clock and -rushees who de
sire to pledge must call there be
tween those hours. When they do,
they will be given a form on which
to write their choices of fraternities
in order of preference. The faculty
member in charge of issuing bids will
then check to see if the rushee has
been extended a bid by the fraternity
of his first choice. If he has, the
rushee will be directed to go imme
diately to that house speaking to no
one on the way.
If a rushee has not been extended a
bid by the fraternity of his first
choice, the representative will look
up his second or third choice and di
rect him to that house if he desires
to pledge. No rushee, however, is
under any obligation to pledge to
day. The Interfraternity Council, how
ever, has emphasized that if a man
accepts a bid at Gerrard hall, he must
go directly to the house issuing the
bid speaking to no one until he ar
rives and he must also refrain from
talking to a member or pledge of an
other fraternity until after five
o'clock.
Fraternities must deliver to the
Dean of Students office sometime be
tween 11 and 12 o'clock 1&is morning,
two copies of a typewritten, alpha
betically arranged list of rushees to
whom they wish bids extended. This
list must be double spaced on stand
ard typewriter paper ana only one
side of the paper may be used.
The
name of the fraternity issuing the
bids must appear on the top of the
lists and they must hr signed by the
president of the house or the rushing
chairman. They will be kept in the
strictest confidence by the faculty
committee on fraternities. It is also
suggested that each fraternity keep a
triplicate copy.
Due to the large number of men ex
pected to pledge today, the Interfra
ternity Council urges that everyone
abide by pledging regulations in or
der that there be no mixups or bot
tlenecks at Gerrard hall.

Hill Post Office Swamped
By Flood of New Troubles
By Madison Wright
An increase of more than $4,000 in
the quarter's revenue over a similar
period last year has set the tempo for
feverish activity in the Chapel Hill
post office, with receipts from stamps
and box rent alone amounting to over
$23,850 in the last three months, an
nounced W. S. Hogan, postmaster.
This year there have been some
especially knotty problems of delivery
and transportation, said Hogan. The
chaotic housing conditions, the short
age of tires and gasoline, the addition
of the Pre-Flight school, and the loss
of men to the armed services have com
bined to produce some major head
aches in the brick building opposite the
campus.
Four incoming and five outgoing
mails supply Chapel Hill daily, while
they are distributed here by four city
mail carriers who make two deliveries,
and three rural postmen who make one

Croom Scores
Two Tallies
For Carolina
Brilliant Runs
Provide Thrills
By Westy Fenhagen
Carolina's hopes and prayers for a
team which could beat the cocky Game
cocks were answered in full yesterday
in the form of a smashing 18-6 Tar
Heel triumph over a stubborn but in
effective South Carolina eleven.
Before 11,000 screaming fans in
Kenan stadium who were continually
begging for "another one," the Tar
Heels gave a convincing demonstration
of power and defensive play that made
the fans open their eyes wide in sur
prise and left no one in doubt that the
triumph last week over Wake Forest
was the real thing.
It must be said in the Gamecocks
favor that in spite of the terrific pound
ing and bruising attack that the Tar
Heel eleven threw at them, they re
mained in the game throughout, even
up to the last minute of the contest
when Dunham, who bore most of the
South Carolina backfield burden dur
ing the afternoon, picked a Carolina
aerial out of the air on his own goal
line and raced 76 yards to the Tar
Heels 24 before being brought down
from behind.
But the Tar Heels yesterday after
noon were not to be denied the laurels
of a well-deserved win. The line which
playd brilliantly throughout the game
broke through' often to smother the
Gamecock offense plays. And the long
drilling periods which Coach Tatum
held all week in preparation for the
Vaunted ' Tf ormati on showed to" have
been completely worthwhile. The
South Carolina total of 70 net yards
gained on rushing which included sev
eral sparkling runs by the Gamecock
scatbacks was a testimony to the
powerful and hardcharging line and
the alert Tar Heel secondary.
Early Touchdown
Carolina opened the scoring with a
score after seven minutes of play in
the opening period. The Gamecocks
came back to tie the score early in the
second quarter and it appeared that
South Carolina was on its way. But
the Tar Heels went ahead a few min
utes later, this time to stay. After the
teams had left the field at intermission
with Carolina in the van, 12-6, Caro
lina came roaring back in the third
stanza and rushed over their third
touchdown after four and one half
minutes had elapsed.
Leading the Carolina attack were
Clay Croom, performing better in the
fullback position than he ever has be
fore, Bill Sigler, who has displayed
marked improvement this season, and
sophomore Billy Myers who played an
all-around sound game at the tailback
spot. Croom scored the first and third
Tar Heel touchdowns while Sigler
plunged over for the third. O'Harra
tallied the lone Gamecock score.
The Tar Heels showed their ability
to capitalize on the breaks of the game
early in the opening period. After an
exchange of kicks, Roskie gathered in
a punt from Mike Cooke on his own

delivery. In this department particu
larly the transportation restrictions
have been felt, for the relay system has
been greatly curtailed. By this system
trucks used to leave large packages
of mail at special boxes and the rural
men would then not be burdened with
cumbersome quantities.
September witnessed the sale by the
post office of 213 War Bonds, with a
total sale price of $7,537.50. Moreover,
a large number of War Stamps was
sold. Figures were not available as
