Fall Frolics
Open Series
Tonight
Prizes Offered
To Early Couples
Freshmen have their first oppor
tunity to attend a campus-wide dance
tonight when Carolina's first Fall
Frolics gets under way at Woollen
gym at 8:30.
Due to the fraternity period of si
lence, new students were necessarily
excluded from the new coed ball and
the Grail victory ball after the Wake
Forest game two weeks ago.
, The dance tonight is being put on by
the Social Committee and is sponsored
by the Student Entertainment Com
mittee, of which Dr. J. P. Harland is
chairman. The other faculty members
of the committee are Dr. Glen Haydon,
and Prof. Frederick H. Koch. Student
members are Frank Alspaugh, Jack
Lindsay, Joe Leslie, and Bill Mehaf
f ey.
It is the first of a series of six dances
a year to be sponsored by the group
and will be informal.
The Frolics will last from 8:30 un
til midnight. Hobart McKeever, chair
man of the Social Committee, urges
everyone to "come early and get in the
rush." In an effort to get as many
couples as possible there early, Mc
Keever will present a box of candy to
each of the first ten couples who meet I
him at the bandstand.
Music for the dance will be f urn-
ished by Johnny Satterfield's orches-
tra. The band is fronted by Bud Mont-

Campus Pitches In To Help
Nationwide Scrap Campaign
"We have some scrap. Will you send !
a truck over?"
Such a willingness to participate is
an example of what is going on all over
the campus in the present "Scrap the
Jap" drive. This message came from
the school of Pharmacy and the salvage
bin had over a 100 pounds of addition
al scrap as a result.
Students yesterday, wishing to se
cure a pass to the movies and at the'
same time do a good turn for their
country came in steadily with 25 or
more pounds of scrap. The salvage
committees working all over the cam
pus have uncovered much material that
can be given to the scrap drive and
are contacting the owners of the metal
and other items of potential value to
the nation.
Thus far the drive has received great
assistance and advice from members
of the administration. Yesterday, L.
B. Rogerson, assistant comptroller of
the University, suggested that the sal-
vage committee members get in touch
Indian Diplomat Signs
For October
October 28 was announced last night as the date for an IRC address by Sir
Girja Shankar Bajpai, agent general of India, now in the United States.
Bajpai, cited as one of India's greatest diplomats, is expected to give one
of the most important and vital speeches in Chapel Hill this year.
There is no question that native Sir

Bajpai, 51, boasts an outstanding
diplomatic and scholarly career in a

Oxford scholar speaks English and
French masterfully.

Meanwhile all over the country sal

approximations of pounds collected are
pouring in with most results being de

"The four campus salvage commit
tees," chairman Bob Spence said yes
terday, "are doing a very good job
conducting the present campaign. They
have made their appeal to the students,
they have and still are collecting scrap.
The big part of the task is still up to
the student body. In order to collect 6,-
000,000 tons of scrap the whole nation
must work together. At Carolina we
have worked together in the past.
There is no reason why we can't do so
now."

OCD Requests
Student Help
Coed Registration
To Be Held Tuesday
With the organization and the de-
partmental plans of the OSCD nearing
completion an SOS for co-workers is
being issued by coordinator Hall Part
rick and his four divisional heads.
The first definite step toward the
utilization of all possible student help
will be taken Tuesday when a general
registration of all coeds will be spon
sored by the OSCD. Registration will
not in any way obligate a girl to do
defense work. It will serve rather as a
method of determining the number in
terested in the work and in what fields
the most student aid is obtainable.
Registration
Girls will register in their respec
tive dormitories ' and sorority houses
and town girls will have their regis
tration headquarters in the YMCA.
Advisors will be at all registration
points to furnish the girls with cards
and show them the master sheets upon
which are listed the various types and
phases of civilian defense students may
work in. These include Civilian Pro
tection, headed by Joe Leslie; Civilian
Morale, headed by Billy Britt; Con
sumer's Research, headed by Kathleen
Lard; and the Department of Post
war Planning, headed by John Kend
rick. A definite time for the registration
to begin has not been decided upon yet,
but the time will be announced in a
later issue of the DAILY TAR HEEL.

UNC Marks
149th Year
On Monday
War Will Somber
University Day
Monday, October 12, 1942 will rank
with the most impressive and import
ant University Days since their in
ception in 1793 with the laying of the
cornerstone of Old East.
On that day, 149 years ago, William
R. Davie in a simple ceremony attend
ed by such notables as William A. Hill,
prominant lawyer, and John Haywood,
for forty years Treasurer of the Uni
ted States, officially completed Old
East.
Before that, Davie had led a vigo
rous fight in the State Legislature for
approval of the appropriation needed
to finance the University. Victory was
assured when, in midsummer, con
tracts were signed for the construction
of a $5,000 building, "the legislature to
provide brick sash, weights, locks,
hooks, fastenings, and painting.""
So it was, ringed by trees that sur
rounded the clearing for Old East, that
Davie laid the cornerstone for the first
state university building in, theUnited
States.
Later in the day, excess land was
auctioned off to the townspeople of
Chapel Hill. This raised some $3,000
to implement the working capital of
the University.
Since then, the observance of Univer
sity Day has gained added prestige,
color, and signif igance with each year.
During the nineteenth century, men
prominent in North Carolina and the
nation spoke before the student body.
On October 12, 1917, just as in the
1942 program, military uniforms took
the stoplight. That day, during the
first World War, the Carolina military
groups passed in review before Goven-
A or Breckett and PresidentE JK.Gra-
ham.
Judge Robert W. Winston, famous
North Carolina alumni highlighted
the 1933 program with a vivid word

cock. Winston is remembered for hav

Juniors, Seniors
Must Be Photographed
Juniors and Seniors must have
their pictures taken within the week,
emphasized Hunt Hobbs, editor.
It will be necessary this year to
solicit the help of every student in
getting their pictures taken for the
annual. Because of the lack of
metals and their allotment on a
monthly basis, it has become neces
sary to ask every member of the
Senior and Junior classes to have
their pictures taken at the earliest
possible moment.
There will be no extension of time
granted any student. Wootten
Moulton is open from 9 until 5
o'clock today.

Workshop
Reorganized
Cooperation Pledged
By Five Departments
Promise of full cooperation by five
department heads, and unanimous ap
proval of the Carolina Workshop's re
organization plan by members of the
Workshop council, completed prepara
tions to present a charter of the organi
zation for approval at the next session
of. the student legislature. .
Chairman; Richard Adler, presided
over the first meeting of the Carolina
Workshop council, composed of two
student and one faculty representa
tive of each of the creative art depart
ments. The proposal that the Carolina
Workshop become the coordinating
agency of all the member departments
and handle all publicity and criticism
of each of the programs presented un
der its auspices was passed without a
dissenting vote. Adler explained that
each of the heads has been consulted
previous to the meeting and liad ex
! pressed his approval of the plan de-
! signed to advance the interests of all.
;He stated that the need for such an
agency was greater now than ever be
fore since gas and tire rationing had
confined students to the campus, creat
ing a student entertainment problem
Members of the Workshop Council
agreed last night that the reorganiza
tion plan would benefit the depart
ments as well as the student body.
Under pending outlines, each depart
ment will schedule its special programs
through the Workshop which will ar
range dates so that there will be no
conflict among the member's presen-
tations
AU publicity for the various pro
grams will be handled through the
Workshop's publicity directors. Each
of the presentations will receive the
backing of all departments. Students
in the various fields will have better
opportunities to become acquainted
with each other's work.

organization, revealed that arrange-
f ents had been made to set up a regu

'Frankness Is
With Public, '
By Walter Klein
"Diplomats no longer have any sec
rets to hide. Fact-hungry audiences
are refusing to be diverted with face
saving phrases. The world's diplomats
are fast learning that frankness and
honesty with the people is the best
policy."
That's what Mahmoud Hassen Bey,
Egyption minister plenipotentiary who
spoke for the IRC Wednesday night,
had to say about a strange new change
that has come over the international
diplomatic corps. He was disgusted
with stuffed-shirt, hypocritical Wash-
ington diplomats, but he didn't name
names.
Hassan is proud of University stu
dents. He marvelled that the Univer
sity of North" Carolina is the oldest j
state university in this country, but
casually mentioned that his Universi-
ty of Cairo was more than 1,000 years
old.
"University of Cairo students, I'm
proud to say, are fighting the war as
hard as the famous Chinese students.
They clear air raid wreckage, perform
police duties, serve as air raid wardens
and supervise blackout procedure. Yet
they attend their classes regularly and
uninterruptedly."

For Y-Y
Campus Election
Planned Tuesday
By Bob Levin
The Legislature relinquished some
of its power to the student body last
night when it went on record as unani
mously favoring three amendments to
the constitution giving students both
initiative and veto powers.
Main action, although the least ex
plosive, was the final sanctioning of
the bill providing students with power
to override any act by a 10 per cent
petition and a favorable 25 per cent
vote. The clause "favorable 25 per
cent vote" was a compromise reached
by the Ways and Means committee
which changed the bill from last week's
controversial "simple majority."
Second feature on the three star bill
was the unanimous approval of the bill
giving students power to initiate laws
and amendments independent of the
Legislature. As the bill reads now 10
per cent of the students must sign a
petition and a favorable majority, with
at least 25 per cent of the student body
voting, is necessary for initiating the
act.
To initiate an amendment, a petition
signed by 16 per cent of the students
is required.
Hour Delay
Delayed for an hour by their own
ruling calling for the presence of two
thirds of the membership for voting
on amendments, the group filled that
time by approving the Publications
Board's election of Hunt Hobbs as edi
tor of the Yackety Yack.
It was also decided to test campus
reaction of the car issue by add
ing three questions to the election
blanks. "Do you favor the Student
Legislature - abolishing cars, restrict
ing cars or do you favor neither action"
were chosen as the "feeler questions."
Flexible
In order that the constitution be
made more flexible in time of emer
gencies, the new ruling of a 25 per
cent favorable student vote on a pro-
posed amendment change was adopted.
The old ruling of a two thirds legis
lature affirmative vote still stands.
All three of these bills formerly
called for a 50 per cent vote of the
student body before they could be writ
ten into the constitution.
Wiley Long, chairman of the Ways
and Means committee, recommended
that a campus wide election on the
three amendments be held this Tues
day morning. The Student Council
will be in complete charge of the vot
ing and all polls will be kept open an
extra day if the 50 per cent ruling of
total votes is not reached.
Speaker W. D. Smith pointed out
that the new ruling of a 25 per cent
favorable vote on amendments or acts
will not go into effect until passed this
Tuesday and so "it is to the benefit of
the entire campus that the bill be
passed as soon as possible."
Best Policy
Says Hassan
Questioning Hassen as to how true
is Egypt's democracy brought a hot
reply to one student. "No one can say
that Egypt is not a true democracy
not in the abused general sense, but
specifically. Our government includes
a parliament divided into what direct
ly corresponds to the American Senate
and House. Our constitution is directly
patterned upon the very democratic
Belgian constitution. What more can
I say?"
The minister spoke intensely of
Egypt's underestimated contribution to
the Allied war. "Not only have we sev-
ered relations with the Axis powers,
but we have made this important corn
er of the earth safe for the Allies, by
surrounding Axis aliens and suppress
ing fifth column moves completely."
Hassen told of Egypt's exact mili
tary contributions at Alexandria and
j other harbors, at airdromes and in
I communications ". . . Thus we have
'given shelter to the Allies' fleet and
armies, and assured their supply lines,
"Yes, we're given the democracies
. all the aid in our power and shall con-
tinue to do so. This aid should not
, necessarily consist of armies and arms
I which we don't have, but we give them
I the best we have."
