Still Open
Clemson, Duquesne
Are Eliminated
By Bill Woestendiek
The Athletic Council at its meeting
last night failed to reach any final de
cision concerning the Homecoming day
football game this Saturday, but an
nounced that chances were very slim
that any game would be played.
The council announced that both
LIemson and Duquesne, prominently
mentioned as possible Carolina oppo
nents, were definitely out. William &
Mary, the team that is tied with Caro
lina for conference leadership at pres
ent, is still a slight possibility.
Negotiations are under way to sched
ule a game between the strong Wil
liam & Mary Indians and the Tar
Heels, to be played this Saturday, but
Carl Voyle, athletic director at William
& Mary, said that it was only a slight
possibility.
The Homecoming game was origi
nally scheduled with Rice University
of Texas, but transportation difficul
ties forced the cancellation of the game
late last week. This left little time for
the Athletic Council to find a suitable
opponent for the big Saturday game.
Clemson Will Not Play
The officials got in touch with Clem
son immediately and attempted to
schedule a game with the Tigers, but
Clemson, despite an open date, didn't
want to play the Tar Heels on the Sat
urday preceding their big game with
South Carolina their biggest rival.
Rumors -starting mildly with Du
quesne and spreading wildly to include
Boston College, Michigan, the Pre
Flight team, and several other impos
sible opponents have been prominent
all week, but no definite announcement
was forthcoming until last night. How
ever, the situation remains unsettled.
The council was in touch with Wil
liam & Mary officials throughout the
meeting, but failed to receive any
definite answer from the Virginia
school. However, the matter is still
unsettled and an announcement of the
game or lack of one is forthcoming
at any time.

Scrap Pile Mounts Slowly
As Drive Moves to Climax
By Jimmy Wallace
"Climax of the scrap drive should
be reached this week."
This statement was released yes
terday by Bob Spence, campus sal
vage committee chairman. "In order
to reach the goal which we set last
week," he said, "we must make a last
concerted effort in the location and
collection of all the scrap metal in
Chapel Hill."
Production chief Donald Nelson's
goal of at least 6,000,000 tons of scrap
metal collected during this drive, must
be reached. "The Universities and
colleges throughout the nation can do
a lot in the attainment of this goal.
All students attending the University
and realizing the position of leader
ship that it occupies among other na
tionally recognized schools, will read
ily understand why students here have
to go all the way in doing more than
their part."
At the end of last week the scrap
heap had reached a total weight of
approximately 6,000 pounds. The esti
mated weight of metal required to
Y-Y Photos
Must Be In
By Saturday
Studios Open Daily
To Juniors, Seniors
Hunt Hobbs, editor of the Yackety
Yack, announced yesterday the dead
line for pictures of Juniors and Sen
iors, including pharmacy students, is
Saturday.
Wootten-Moulton, yearbook photog
rapher, is opened from 9-12 and 1-5
every day, including Saturdays. It
is emphasized that students who do
not have their pictures taken within
the prescribed time will not have their
picture in the yearbook.
Work on the Y-Y is progressing
satisfactorily, Hobbs said, and the
dummy or plan of the book is being
drawn up. He expects this year's copy
to be out earlier than ever before.
However, this is due to the necessity
of working fast to obtain the zinc
plates needed to publish the yearbook.
The staff is working overtime due
to the lack of members, .iiodds re
quests that any fraternity or sorority
pledges and all others wanting to
work on the Y-Y had better come to
the office in the second 'floor Graham
Memorial as soon as possible.
The appointment of several mem
bers of the staff to positions on the
Y-Y has been announced. Jim Loeb
is managing editor, Ben Snyder was
appointed activities editor, and John
Robinson is sports editor.
Histories of Di, Phi
Reveal Lowly Start,
Prominent Members
By Janice Feitelberg
On June 3, 1795, little more than a
month after the University opened its
doors, a group of students gathered for
the first meeting of ; "The Debating
RnciPt.v" This, the second oldest li
terary society in the nation, was organ
ized after pattern of the older Prince
ton Whig Society.
It met weekly on Thursday nights
and spent most of its time discussing
questions of logic by means of debates,
orations, and readings.
A month later, as the result of a
motion by one of its members, the so
ciety was divided into two organiza
tions. Many members felt that the two
smaller societies would be preferable
to one larger one! in addition to the
fact that there had occurred a split in
political philosophy within the group.
One group adopted the views of Jef
ferson's "Bill of Rights" and was more
liberal than the other. The two groups
continued to flourish, and the follow
ing year, their names becoming the
Philanthropic and .the Dialectic So
cieties. ' X
The Philanthropic society having no
hall of its own met weekly in the old
chapel (Person Hall), and its library,

"top the Old Well" will have to be at
least 10,000 pounds.
"Students continue to show a laxity
in responding to the campaign," head
of the salvage information center said
yesterday. "What we are asking for
now is an exhibition of student coop
eration. With just a little help from
the student body, the scrap drive will
be a huge success."
The girls are still asked to clean
out those dresser drawers and con
tribute cosmetic cases and other inci
dental items of metal. With the con
templated addition of a boiler plus an
old furnace the committee has under
consideration the scrap pile will be
considerably enlarged.
Latest items to be added to the mis
cellany is an old smoke stack or a
flue, a remnant of a filing cabinet, and
the remains of a horse-drawn cart."
Plans were underway late yester
day to sponsor a scrap rally in which
each man attending would have to
bring at least 5 pounds of scrap.
More announcements regarding the
rally will be made later.

CVTC Gets Colors
During Exercises
On University Day
As a part of the University Day
ceremonies yesterday, Major L. P. Mc
Lendon, president of the General
Alumni Association, presented the
Carolina Volunteer Training Corps
with their regimental colors which
alumni had donated.
Cadet Major Robert Glenn and Cap
tains Kedar Bryan and Frank Pilling
accepted the colors on behalf of the
Corps which was represented at the
exercises by 100 uniformed privates
who sat in a body in the front of
Memorial hall.
In his presentation address, Major
McLendon stated that he believed that
the Civilian Volunteer Training Corps
was representative of the three
branches of Carolina, the students,
faculty, and alumni in that it was
composed of a group who see the
necessities of the time and were
making an attempt to rise to meet
them.
The colors will be used in all pa
rades of the CVTC and were designed
for the corps by a Philadelphia com
pany. The flag is blue with the Uni
versity seal in the center in white
with "Carolina Volunteer Training
Corps" written in white above the
seal.

UNC Commemorates
149th Anniversary
In the second University Day in 25
years to be held under the cloud of a
world conflict, D. Hiden Ramsey,
Asheville publisher, told the students
assembled in Memorial hall that "in
the last . analysis, your generation
must win the war."
Before Ramsey spoke, President
Graham, in his remarks on the sig
nificance of University Day had called
for a rededication of Carolina to the
cause for which some of her sons had
given their lives at Pearl Harbor,
Wake Island, and Guadalcanal.
"Carolina must aid in Franklin D
Roosevelt's attempts to make the
United States the cornerstone of the
United Nations of the world for free
dom, justice and, pray God, peace in
our time."
The 149th celebration of the lay
ing of Old East's cornerstone had al
ready been sombered by the memorial
reading for Carolina alumni who have
died, many in the armed services,
When Ramsey arose.
Said the "tall man of the moun-
tains," as President Graham called
him, "The wheel of history has com
pleted a full circle again. Once more
young men must die that an old re
public may live."
Ramsey's address pointed out that
the failure of the 1918 generation to
make good the promise of a war to
end all wars was not due to lack of
personal cburagVprlack of ..vision.
"That generation failed because its
spirit flattened in the drab days of
peace. It was not equal to the large
sacrifices which since could have in
sured peace."
He branded America's false policy
of isolation as the main cause of the
present conflict. The American peo
ple did not design this war, but they
made it virtually inevitable when they
refused to have any lot or part in
, the League of Nations, stated Ramsey.
tion my generation are now history.
They can not be recalled. Our in
dependence, our free way of life, our
spiritual bequests to our children
all are in mortal jeopardy."
"If the United Nations win this
war ... an agency for the preserva
tion of peace must be established and
we must be a constituent, active force
in that agency."
In summation, he said, "The heroic
job of winning this war is yours (this
generation). The tougher task of win
ning a lasting peace for the world is
also yours."
Before Ramsey's brilliant interpre
tation of the issues facing the nation,
Luther A. Hodges, Marshall" Field
general manager, presented the Uni
versity with a portrait of former
president, Harry Woodburn Chase, on
behalf of himself and two other alum
ni, J. Dewey Dorset, '22, and George
V. D.enny, Jr., '22.
A part of the University's already
large war effort gained special rec
ognition during the observance, when
Major L. P. McLendon presented
regimental colors to the Carolina Vol
unteer Training Corps.
Speaker Speaks
Smith Urges Student Body
For All-Out Amendment Vote
To the Student Body:
Today every member of the student body is urged to go to the
polls to vote on four amendments to the constitution of their Stu
dent Legislature.
There are two main purposes to these proposed amendments.
The first is to change the basis of representation. The need for
this change has been brought about by the vacating of 10 former
student dormitories for the Naval Pre-Flight School. This means
that there are 10 less representatives in the Legislature. The ob
ject of this first amendment is to reapportion these vacancies
among the rest of the campus.
The second purpose is to reduce the requirements for legislative
action on the part of the student body. The present requirement
is that 50 per cent of the student body has to vote in order that a

Frats, Coeds Reach
New Agreement
Ditzi Buice, speaker of the woman's
senate, and Bucky Osborne, president
of the Interfraternity council, an
nounced yesterday that the agreement
permitting coeds to visit fraternity
houses would probably be ready by
Friday.
The agreement, which specifies

must prevail while she is there, has
been drawn up but must now pass
through several channels for signa
tures before it becomes official.
To be final the agreement must be
approved and signed by Dean of Wom
en Mrs. M. H. Stacy, the coed Senate,
the Student legislature, the Interfra
ternity council, every fraternity house,
and each fraternity man must indi
vidually agree to the terms.
Miss Buice and Osborne are con
fident that the agreement will be in
effect in time for Homecoming activi
ties this weekend.
Di To Discuss
New Rules for
Coed Admission
The Dialectic Senate will discuss
one of the most controversial topics
in the University's history when it
meets tonight at 7:30 in the Di hall
on the third floor of New West.
The main bill of the evening will
be "Resolved : That the trustees be pe
titioned to remove all restrictions on
the admission of coeds into the gen
eral college of the University of North
Carolina at Chapel Hill."
Mrs. M. H. Stacy, Dean of Women,
Dean House, and Dean Parker have
been invited to be present at the dis
cussion of the bill. A special investi
gating committee consisting of Aaron
Johnson and Morty Tomashoff has
been appointed to investigate and se
cure data on this subject.
Tonight's meeting will be high
lighted by the formal initiation of new
members selected by the membership J
committee. Out of a large .number of
applications the following students
have been selected: Charles Long,
Leonard Meyer, Robert Lee Hines,
Fred Kanter, Daniel Miles McFarland,
Albert Jacobson, William Ayden
Creech, Donald Horton, Charles Mc
Coy, Hamilton Loeb, Jr., Norman
Rathbun, Polly Squire, Ralph Ray
Glenn, Jane Newell, Jim Hoyle, Mar
vin Krieger, Helen DeBusk, and W.
Carlyle Gay. These students are re
quested to be at the meeting tonight
promptly at 7:30.

Memorial with all booths open from 9
until 5 o'clock, announced Bert Ben
nettt, student body president.
Students will be allowed to vote in
any one of the four designated voting
places and will be requested to sign
their names as no student directory is
available. Bennett warned voters that
any violation of the voting rules will
result in immediate expulsion from the
University.
W. J. Smith, speaker of the house,
pointed out that the old ruling of a
favorable majority of 50 percent of the
student body voting is still needed to
pass these amendments and that "if
necessary, the polls will be open for a
week until they are passed."
The amendments, as drawn up by
the ways and means committee and
passed by a two-thirds majority at a
second Legislature meeting last week,
are designed to give students power to
override any act or part of an act of
the Legislature.
The changes call for the old ruling of
a 50 percent student body vote be
changed to read a 25 percent vote. This
would enable students to begin a ref
erendum on any act with which they
did not agree by having 10 percent sign
a petition and then follow it up by a
25 percent vote.
The same 25 percent ruling is up for
vote on the bill giving students power
to initiate an act independent of the
Legislature. Third amendment on the
blanks will be the clause giving the
Legislature power to amend the con
stitution by passing the change with a
two-thirds favorable vote in the house
and having it sanctioned by a 25 per
cent student vote.
All three of these amendments for
merly called for 50 percent of the stu
dents to turn out and vote on any cam
pus bill before it could be passed.
The representative changes giving
more voting power to town, dormi
tories, fraternities and Women's gov
ernment is expected to be passed with
a minimum of "no" votes as it will
distribute the representation
m
the
Legislature.
Added on the voting blanks will be
three questions testing student opinion
on the question of action on campus
owned cars. "Do you favor the Legis
lature abolishing cax, restricting
cars or neither action" will be up for
vote. The results of this poll will be
