The meeting is an impor tant one and all new members of the staff must attend or present a valid excuse for their absence. Philosophy Forum Schedules Address for October 21 By Robert Johns The Philosophy department's -fall Forum series will attempt as its main objective this year, to show those pre paring to enter the armed forces why and for what they are going to fight, Dr. L. O. Kattsoff, acting director of the Philosophy department, announced. The policy of the Philosophy depart ment for the past few years has been to urge that all possible aid, short of actual war, be given those opposing the forces of aggression. On Wednesday, October 21, at 8 o'clock in Gerrard hall, Mr. P. Cheng sents Dr. Warren, former head of the Philosophy and Psychology department at Furman, who will deliver a talk on "Czechoslovakian Democracy and Glob al War No. 2." Dr. Warren spent sev eral years in Czechoslovakia and has written a biography of Jan Masa ryk, founder of the Czech government. On Wednesday, November 11, at 8 o'clocmk in Gerrard hall, Mr. P. Cheng will speak on the "Principles for Which China Fights." Mr. Cheng has been in this country for only about two years. Before coming to the States he was editor of the World Book Company Fetzer Announces Final Decision Late Last Night By Westy Fenhagen The undefeated and untied Duquesne football eleven will face the Tar Heels Saturday afternoon in a Homecoming Day game which will rate as one of the top games in the nation this week. The Kenan stadium battle will begin at 2:30. : "' Official confirmation of the contest came late last night at 11 o'clock when Director of Athletics Bob Fetzer made the announcement after receiving the official confirmation from Duquesne of ficials in Pittsburgh. Late yesterday Duquesne officials had expressed themselves favorably over the proposed contest but Director of Athletics Bob Fetzer could not contact the Pittsburgh athletic officials until last night for a confirmation of the game. Yesterday afternoon the varsity gridders met and voted unanimously to play the game if Duquesne could possibly be scheduled and this led to the final efforts by athletic officials last night resulting in the final confirma tion of the intersectional contest. The contest with Duquesne will bring to Chapel Hill one of the nation's top teams which so far this season is undefeated and untied and have yet to be scored upon. Last season the Iron Dukes .went through a perfect season and were one of the fiVe teams in the country--with an unblemished - record; In addition, they were ranked sixth in the country in a national poll of college elevens. Scheduling of the official contest came as a climax to a hectic week of attempts to secure a game to replace the intersectional clash with Rice Uni versity which was cancelled at the lat ter's request last week due to trans portation difficulties. Rumors have been thick on the cam pus this week as to which team would be brought to Chapel Hill but Univer sity overtures to several leading col leges and service teams proved unsuc cessful until Duquesne officials ap proved the proposed game late yester day. - - Among the teams which have been under consideration are William and Mary, Clemson, and the Jacksonville Naval Air Station but all declined the bid. Clemson has their annual con test with South Carolina on Thursday, October 22 and did not want to add an other contest to their heavy schedule so close to the Gamecock encounter. William and Mary already loaded down with a heavy schedule did not feel able to add another game and the Jackson ville Naval Station boasting George See DUQUESNE, page 3 and had written, in Chinese, two books on social philosophy. Through talks and discussions by eminent men on their chosen .subject, the Forum will render a student serv ice. A former student now serving in the Army, writing to the department head, stated that in his company out of all of the men that he questioned, only one knew what he was fighting for. The most frequent replies that he received were "because of the dirty lit tle Japs" and. "because no one's going to try to lick the ,U. S." It is because of this evident lack of understanding as to why we are fighting that the department has undertaken to give the "potential" draftee and reservist a clearer conception of the reasons back of this war. Forums are held about every two weeks. The public is cordially invited to attend and participate in the infor mal discussion and question period that follows each talk. The forums are not concerned with technical philosophy and, consequently, not limited by it Views, ideas, and opinions on the topic up for consideration may be expressed by anyone present. Eleven Mere Fraternities Fall in Step By Holding Scrap Drives By Jimmy Wallace "Due to the previous inactivity of the fraternities in the scrap drive, they are conducting individual scrap campaigns this week- This is being done in order to get all the tin cans that are available," said Floyd Cohoon, fraternity salvage chairman, yesterday. All fraternities will collect the scrap front of their house next to the street. Coed Senate Votes Today On Five Bills Frat Agreement Heads Meeting Five major bills are slated to come before the coed senate today when the legislative body convenes at 5:30 in Gerrard hall for its most important meeting of the year. A heated discussion is expected to attend the proposal for a shortened co ed curfew hour on Friday nights. Also on the program are the interf raternity agreement, the points system, the bud get, and nominations for vice-president and secretary of the Woman's Athletic association. ...... The interf raternity agreement,' drawn up last weekend by a fifteen member committee, has been passed on ; by the dean-of -Women and the inter fraternity council, and after approval today by the dean of men's offce, will be ready for signing by fraternity houses and the two coops. With the affixing of all necessary signatures to the agreement coeds will be allowed to visit fraternity houses subject to regulations specified. The points system, set up to limit the number of offices a woman student may hold, will be presented for approval by the points committee, chairman of which is Mary Jane McCaskill. Drawn up by the financial commit tee COED SENATE, page U Student Leaders Invited to Meet With Consumers Several student leaders have been invited by the Chapel Hill and Orange county Consumers' Association to at tend its charter meeting Friday even ing at 8 o'clock in the elementary school building. Those invited include Pete Watson, manager of the Carolina Co-op; Don Willard, manager of the Tar Heel Co op; Lloyd Bost, manager of the Com merce Co-ops; Arthur Persky, DAILY TAR HEEL columnist on consumer problems; Hayden Carruth, TAR HEEL associate editor, and 20 fra ternity and dormitory managers. The committee indicated that an af filiation of co-op, fraternity and dorm itory managers -would facilitate han dling of consumer information furn ished by the association. It would also stimulate campus interest in the cur rent program of consumer education, defense, and co-operative develop ment. Although not yet formally orga nized,' its committees have already taken a stand against a general fede ral sales tax, in favor of 100 percent ceilings on farm product prices, and in favor of declaring Chapel Hill a defense rental area, thereby return ing rentals to the levels prevailing prior to the establishment of the Pre flight school here. At present, one committee is study ing the local milk problem with the intention of developing a community program for making wholesale milk more plentiful and less expensive to Chapel Hill consumers. Association members have been in strumental , in establishing the pre-' school kindergarden here. Serving with this school are Mrs. C. W. Hart sough, consultant; Mrs. Donald Royer, teacher; and Mrs. Nathan Rosen, mu-sician-accampanist. throughout the week and pile it in Saturday morning a truck will be sent Sto all the houses and pick up the scrap. In this way it will be possible to tell exactly how much each fraternity has contributed to the scrap drive. "As a preliminary to the collections to be terminated Saturday, a truck will be sent by all fraternities today, Floyd Cohoon announced yesterday. "Cooperation between the members of the salvage committees and the frater nities," Cohoon said, "must be in creased. Until now we have had very little response to the scrap drive." Out of more than 6,000 pounds of scrap already collected very few tin cans have accumulated. Sales of can ned goods in Chapel Hill and to f rater nity houses in particular show that the majority of tin cans opened are be ing thrown away. "The purpose of this special fraternity drive," campus sal vage chairman Bob Spence said, is to collect all these valuable tin cans." According to a bulletin released by WPB head Donald Nelson, the correct method of handling cans is first to soak off the label and wash the can thor oughly, then cut the bottom and top completely out of the can and bend the body of the can fiat: ' - - I Members of salvage committees throughout the country are being ac quainted with the great need for addi tional supplies of vital metals sup plies sufficient to cover a 6,000,000 ton shortage of steel. Aside from the shortage in the heavy industries there exists a huge shortage of rubber, paper and rags. Faced by the war crisis the nation has turned to the people and expects them to do their part in plug ging up the shortages. Thus far the University acting as a separate agency has collected the majority of a quarter million pounds of metal. The students can add as much as 15,000 pounds to that total "with cooperation." As soon as all the located metal is in, the goal will be near. It requires, however, "cooperation of students, all the students and all the committee members." Phi Defeats Bill To Lower Curfew The Philanthropic Assembly re soundly defeated by a vote of 33 to 4 the proposed bill that coed privilege for Friday night be reduced an hour from 2 to 1 o'clock. The bill was introduced by E. O. Brogden and discussion was held both pro and con. Most of the arguments amounted to the fact that one hour less sleep one night in the week would not affect the health of either coed or BMOC. Hines, Former UNC Netter Itching for Return Match Wilmer Hines, former University tennis star and nationally known net ter is praying for a return engagement in Germany these days as he proceeds through the crack Infantry Officers' Training School at Fort Benning, Georgia. A return match, but this time with a rifle and knife of a fighting United States Army infantryman instead of the tennis racquet that he once used to wield so well. Back in 1934, as a member of the United States Davis Cup team, Hines had the doubtful pleasure of meeting some of Hitler's high ranking hench men and developed a keen dislike for the Nazis, even then. A native of Columbia, S. C, Hines started his tennis career as a fresh man here in 1929 when he won the Saturdavj Polls Owe Until Bi Are Passe First Day's Vote Under 25 Per Cent By Walter Damtof t Because less than 25 per cent of the student body went to the polls yester day, voting on proposed amendments to the Constitution of the Student Leg islature has been extended until 5 o'clock today. Voting booths will 'be open from 9 until 5 o'clock in the lobby of the YMCA and Graham Memorial. Under present rules, at least 50 per cent of the student body must vote on a proposed amendment and the amend ment must be approved by a simple majority of that group before it is adopted. The proposed amendments deal with changes in the representation in the student legislature and a lowering to 25 per cent the number of students re quired to vote on amendments to the constitution or on new laws or amend ments initiated independently by the student body. The first amendment up for student approval is designed to make changes in representation in the legislature be cause of the increased number of stu dents in dormitories and in town. It would provide one member from each dormitory elected by residents of that dormitory; six representatives elected by and from the Interfraternity coun cil; two women representatives-at-large, elected in regular spring elec tions, no officer of the Woman's Asso ciation being eligible; and eight town representatives, two of which shall be elected by and from each of four dis tricts which shall be determined by the Interdorm council.

As a fighting climax to his career he played the sensational Don Budge at Charleston Tennis Club in Charleston, West Virginia on January 20, 1941. On January 21, he took the oath of enlist ment in the United States Army. While playing on the Davis cup team, Hines recalls the violent hate that Propaganda Minister Goebbels showed toward the British and Ameri cans as he presented them with their prizes at Wiesbaden. "Goebbels," said Hines, "reminded me of a cobra about to strike!" Since then he has worked his way up through the ranks to be selected for Officers' Training in one of the finest infantry schools in the world at Fort Benning, Ga. 1
