Fordharn Given Edge
By Gotham Writers
NEW YORK CITY, Oct. 9 The
University of North Carolina Tar
Heels will attempt to break a five-year
jinx here tomorrow when they clash
with Fordharn s vengeance-seeking
Rams m their annual gridiron battle.
The opening kick-off is slated for 2:30.
The Tar Heels arrived in the city
this morning and made their head
quarters in the Hotel Corydon. They
held a light workout this afternoon.

squad of 33 men.
A large crowd is expected to wit
ness tomorrow's tussle one of several
big games in New York. Interest has
been whipped to fever pitch by the re
suits of last Saturday's games in which
Tennessee drubbed Fordharn and Caro
lma laced South Carolina a team
tha had tied Tennessee the preceding
week.
Fordharn Slight Favorite
Despite the apparent Carolina com
parative score advantage, the Rams
had been installed as favorites here
tonight. Fordharn hasn't lost two
games running in a long time, and the
consensus of opinion seems to be that
Fordharn will take out their feelings on
the Tar Heels.
The Carolina club, however, upset
winners on two consecutive Saturdays,
have one of the most under-rated grid
teams in the Southland and will be
dangerous tomorrow afternoon. The
Blue and White clad gridders are jn
high spirits and have been pointing for
the Fordharn contest all fall. The long
arduous train ride failed to dampen
the spirit of the visitors, who, inci
dentally, expect to have a good-sized
rooting section tomorrow.

Placement Bureau
Secures Positions
For 225 Teachers
Two hundred and twenty-five teach
ers, 50 of them members of the class
of 1942 of the University, have been
placed in teaching positions by the
Teachers' Placement Bureau of the
University during the season just
closed, according to Professor Guy B.
Phillips, of the Department of Educa
tion, director of the Bureau.
The placement activities usually be
gin in May and end in September. Of
the teachers placed during the current
season, some were recent graduates,
some had had summer school experi
ence, and the remainder were experi
enced teachers who registered here
for placement. : .
Reports of Mrs. Mary Davis, secre
tary of the Bureau, reveal that there
were 130 requests for teachers in the
science field. Of the graduates of
1942, only two were science majors.
There were only three students last
June who graduated in mathematics,
and a total of 96 requests was receiv
ed for mathematics teachers.
Shortage of Men
Practically no men have been avail
able for public school teaching in
the past three months, the Bureau has
announced. Calls come to Phillips
almost daily now for teachers to take
the place of men in the teaching pro
fession who have been called or who
have volunteered for some form of
war service. Indications are that
there will be no improvement in the
situation because of the call now be
ing made for additional man power
and because of the expansion of op
portunities for women to get into
various phases of war activity. The
situation is gradually growing more
serious with respect to adequate
teaching staffs for the public schools.
The local Department of Education,
in cooperation with the x national
movement, is hoping to be able to of
fer certain refresher courses to as
sist teachers in bringing themselves
up to the point of being able to carry
on regular teaching assignments.

Ends Tonight
Safety Council
Orders Listings
Carolina's second campus-wide auto
registration ends tonight with a pen
alty of non-use for failure to meet
the deadline, announced H. D.' Webb,
safety committee head.
According, to the committee's, esti
mate, there are only a few more cars
to . be registered. Webb is confident
that with .the extra day allowed stu
dents will finish the tabulation.
Blanks are still available at the Phi
Gamma Delta house or Kitty Flanna-
gan in 216 Spencer.
Campus expression of the car own
ership issue is mounting steadily with
the legislature capping the week by
announcing three questions to be put
on the voting blanks this Tuesday.
Students will be asked to indicate
whether they favor, the legislature
abolishing cars, restricting cars or
disregarding the matter.
Legislature By-Product .
The safety council is a by-product
of the legislature and possesses the
power to abolish cars for failure to
register. The forming of this group
was an emergency measure taken to
prevent the board of trustees from
taking definite action last spring.
The representative body promised
the board that they would take imme
diate action on the measure and see
that all safety rules are obeyed. The
vote this Tuesday will sound out cam
pus opinion on the matter.
Completion of the registration will
mark the beginning of the commit
tee's work. Safety rules and campus
driving regulations must be drawn up
and be presented to the legislature
for approval so that Smith can report
to the trustees.
Interfraternity
Celebrates 20th
By Walter Damtoft
Official custodian of the collective
morals of the 21 social fraternities on
the Carolina campus is the 20-year-old
Interfraternity Council.
Although there is no accurate his
torical data available on the early days
of the council, it is estimated that it
was founded about 1922 for the pur
pose of regulating rushing, hazing, and
later on, social relations between fra
ternity men and coeds.
Rushing at Carolina was for a long
time a cut-throat affair with ho holds
barred, and a freshman was imme
diately seized by rival fraternities
when he reached Chapel Hill and then
feasted, petted, and sweated into join
ing a fraternity.
This was abolished when the Council
drew up rules which allowed 'freshmen
time to settle down before rushing be
gan and also restricted rushing hours
so that the new man would not have all
his time taken up by fraternities. It
also prohibited fraternities from buy

Grid-Graph
For Contest
To Be Shown
Outfit Successful
For Game Last Fall
The University club sponsors a grid
graph of the Carolina-Fordham game
today in Memorial hall at 2:30 with an
admission charge of 25 cents to cover
the costs of the direct wire from the
Polo Grounds in New York, Denny
Hammond, club president, announced
yesterday.
This year's graph is the same as
the one used so successfully to bring
the results of the Tulane game to
Chapel Hill last year. The graph con
sists of a large board on which is
painted a miniature gridiron and is
operated by a system of lights. The
progress of the ball and of the team
in possession of the ball is recorded
graphically by operating certain
lights. These lights show the actual
position of the ball at all times dur
ing the game. It records all penalties
tells the names of the players, and an
nounces all substitutions in the game.
The University club has leased a
direct wire from the Polo Grounds to
the stage of Memorial hall and flashes
will reach here approximately 25
seconds after the play has been com
pleted. The grid-graph will be ope
rated from the back -of the stage by
members of the club. Operation of the
board will be started at kick-off time
today and will continue throughout the
game, not stopping until the final whis
tle has blown.
As an added feature of the program,
the club will announce, from the stage,
flash scores of other "principal games
from all over the country. This will
let the spectators know how other
teams in this area are progressing,
especially the neighboring institution
whom Lt. Ray Wolf's Skycrackers
play.
. Hammond called attention to the fact
that the grid-graph, set up last year as
an experiment, had proved highly
successful, with an estimated crowd of
800 persons watching the disagreeable
results of that debacle.

casts the game, and none were reported

the tendency of a new man to judge a

than by the character of the men in it.
Hell Week has . also auieted down
considerably due largely to the influ

When the old taboos on women be

were relaxed, it fell to the Council to
work out with representatives of the

'Scrap Pile Higher Than Old Well' Made Goal
Of University-Wide Metal Salvage Campaign
"Bring on those old cosmetic cases, girls. They have a job to do."
This is the cry that came from the girls' dormitories yesterday when Betty
Sterchi, coed salvage chairman, began
sary for maintenance of our national
Latest reports from ' scrap drive chairman Bob Spence revealed that ap
proximately 5,000 pounds of salvage materials have already been collected.
"Students are reminded to bring
their scrap in as soon as possible in
order to get a pass to the movies.
Only 50 pounds of scrap delivered to
the bin is necessary for a pass."
In order to get passes students
must first contact their scrap com
mittee member. He will give the per
son a note including the number of
pounds of scrap. This note when
carried to the Tar Heel office will en
title the holder to the passes.
Listed among the items now in the
bin are such things as bed springs,
beds, radios, lamps, light bulbs, tin
cans, lip stick containers, cart wheels,
and cart axles. "This group of items
should give the student some idea of
what can be used in the scrap drive,"
said Spence. "Any heavy material
that can't be easily transported will
be called for and carried to the scrap
bin on a truck."
"Our goal," he continued, "is to
make the scrap pile higher than the
Old Well. We want to completely
cover the salvage bixi with scrap."
Now leading as having contributed
most to the drive is the Pharmacy
school which gave approximately 1,000
pounds.
Students in town who have not got
ten in contact with a committee mem
ber are asked to collect all the scrap
they can find and bring it to the bin
individually. Due to the scattered
student population in town it was de
clared to be hard to conduct a coor
dinated drive.
Members of the four campus com
mittees under the direction of Spence
were printed in the Daily Tar Heel
in a previous issue. In order to ac

Navy May Set Up
Additional Schools
Rumors that the Carolina Pre
Flight unit would have 3,000 cadets
by January 1 were answered last
night by Commander O. O. Kessing's
statement that "students need not
worry, by any stretch of the imagina
tion, that the Navy wants to deprive
them of their rooms."
Kessing acknowledged that the
Navy Department in Washington has
inquired from him and commanders
of the other three units:
1. How may more cadets can you
accommodate immediately?
2. What, if anything, could the
University do to enable the unit to
accommodate up to 3,000 cadets in all
by January 1.
No Additional Cadets
Kessing said last night that the
Carolina school cannot take any more
cadets at present, and also that it
could not take any more by January
1 unless the Navy Department con
sents to build the additional facilities
necessary or the University could
turn over more of its own.
With the government already
clamping down on all construction be
cause of the shortage of steel and
other vital building materials, the
Navy Department is not inclined to
ward any additional building that can
possibly be prevented.
Saturation Point
It was learned from reliable Uni
versity administrative authorities last
night that.no more facilities can be
turned over to the- Navy if the Uni

Coed Girl Break
Slated for Today
By Independents
Martha Guy, president of Inde
pendent' Coeds, has announced a girl
break dance to be held in the main
lounge of Graham Memorial this af
ternoon from 4 to 6 o'clock.
The dance will be strictly informal
and one of the main purposes is to
get new coeds acquainted. Several
officers of the Independents will be on
hand to introduce girls and their
dates.
Girls may come stag or drag and
may invite either cadets or Univer
sity men. As boys may not come
without dates, a number of girl stags
will be required for the success of
the dance, so asking dates should be
no problem for coeds.
By Sara Yokley
Cheerleading is no soft job. The co
ed cheerleaders of Carolina work all
week but on the Saturday of the Ford
ham game they sit home and knit or
date cadets. Daily they report for a
workout that runs the much publicized
obstacle course a close second for being
the school's most gruelling sport, yet
when the football team travels north
they are left behind.
Included in the neglected coed squad
that is currently leading us in rousing
yells and Tar Heel tunes are four cap
tivating cheerleaderettes. Besides pro
viding additions to the scenery at ral
lies and at the stadium, those girls
really know their business.
Typical as an example of the four
