Smith expressed anxiety yesterday over the treatment some students may give the new theater's furnishings. Soiled upholstery and panels smeared with lip rouge promise to be a con tinuous headache, Smith said. The Navy will begin operation of the Village theater Saturday for edu cational and entertainment purposes The Pick will not alter its schedule or equipment. Faculty Standards Must Be Kept Up, Carmichael Says The University request for a 15 per cent salary increase was explained by Controller W. D. Carmichael yester day when he stated that "to maintain a first-rate University we must retain a first-rate faculty." In order not to lower the long-standing University accredited rating we must keep the quality of the teaching Staff high even though we are positive that another sharp decrease is ex pected. To keep our staff we must raise salaries to keep up with the ris ing cost of living." This issue of a 15 percent salary Increase will be one of the most im portant features of the budget discus sion scheduled for the legislative docket in March. Before the bill is passed on by the legislature it must be dis cussed by a joint finance committee of the house and senate. A summary of the budget asked for by Carolina is as follows: Required: 1 NM . S i Iff 1 1 i I Ilili S. X Opens Here German Club Sets Dances Tail Dances Set fc For November 13-14 The German Club will present its annual set of Fall dances on Novem ber 13 and 14, it was announced yes terday by Bill Vail, chairman of the club. Plans for the dances, which are usually the biggest social event of the fall, are incomplete as yet. Vail said that an effort was being made to secure Lieut. Stanley Brown and his orchestra from Fort Bragg for the set. Brown Played Before Lieut. Brown's band played here on several occasions last year and was well received by the student body. The band is made up of former name band musicians who are now stationed at the Field Artillery replacement cen ter. The German Club . presents three sets of dances a year, Fall Germans, Mid-Winters, and Finals. Admission is to club members only. German Club officers are Jack Markham, president; Hunt Hobbs, vice- president; Bill Vail, chairman; Joe Conger, treasurer; and Howard Hodges, secretary. The initiation fee is $5.00 and there are no membership dues beyond the price of bids. $4,374,967; Receipts: $3,248,860; Re quest: $1,126,107; Increase: $373,688 an increase of 49 percent over the last budget. State college is asking for a 45 per cent increase and the Womens college requests a 56 percent rise. The estimates for the budget, which is to go into effect next September, takes into consideration the fact that State will lose very little in enroll ment due to the specialized war pro grams, WCUNC will remain about the same, and Carolina will drop about 500 students from its rolls. "Formerly it was difficult to keep men who were qualified to teach the na tional defense subjects due to the arm ed forces calling them, but it will grow increasingly more difficult to keep the sentiment and loyalty of the staff from being taxed unless the salaries are in creased," stated the five man commit tee in a special report prepared for the commission. . s- Hammond Plans I 'Biggest Yet' For Homecoming By Bob C. Harris To help bolster the Carolina football team for their tussle with the strong Iron Dukes of Duquesne University in Kenan stadium on Saturday, a pep rally will be held on Friday afternoon at 5:30 o'clock in Memorial Hall, Den ny Hammond, president of the Uni versity club as announced. The rally will be preceded by a pa rade which will march in reverse or der from the first three parades that have been staged for rallies thus far this year. It will form in front of the YMCA at 5 : 10 o'clock and march down by the coed dorms, up through town, and down by the fraternity row. The parade will be lead by the University band. It will pause momentarily in front of the coed quadrangle and fra ternity row in order to give yells which will be lead by the cheerleaders. At the rally, the principal speaker will be end coach Andy Bershak, for mer ail-American end at Carolina. Also speaking will be two members of the football squad. A new yell song will be introduced to the students by Tiny Hutton and Charlie Ifelson.- Song sheets will be provided for everyone and the song will be taught to the student body by the cheerleaders. In conjunction with the rally, every one is asked to bring scrap metal which will be thrown in a pile in front of Me morial Hall and later transferred to the scrap metal pile at the Old Well. "It is the hope of the University club," Hammond said, "that everyone will turn out for the rally although it is being held earlier. It is being staged at 5:30 o'clock, because of the fact that the Navy will.be using Memorial Hall during the regular time for the rally. The bell in South building will be rung as a signal for the rally to begin." Hammond also called attention to,ima coeds now have an onnortunitv the fact that prizes will be given for the best decorations put on by the fra ternities and dormitories for the home coming weekend. These exhibitions must be set up by the organizations not later than 11 o'clock Saturday morning. Judges for the contest will be announced later in the week. The cup which has been given each year to the fraternity having the best display was retired last year by Sigma Nu, who won it for three years. An other prize will be offered this year, but as yet it has not been determined. The expense limit on decorations for this affair are limited to $5.00 and no organization may spend any more. Campus Groups Meet Tonight Over Fees Bill A special meeting of all campus or ganizations directly affected by the stu dprt. fees bill is called for 8 o'clock tonight in the Grail room, announced Roy Strowd, chairman of the finance committee. Present at the meeting will be stu dent body president Bert Bennett, who will discuss the bill, W. J. Smith, speaker of the legislature, and mem bers of the Debate council, Student Entertainment committee, Student Union, and the Publications Union board. The bill will be discussed with an ef fort made to ascertain how the fees money can be better distributed for wider campus use. A survey of stu dent expenditures for the past 30 years will also be presented. DTH News Staff Will Convene Today Staff members of the DAILY Tab Heel news department are to meet in the publication offices on the second floor of Graham Memorial this afternoon at 2 o'clock. It is im perative that all members, both old and new, report. In case of class or meeting conflicts, arrangements must be made to re port as close to the appointed time as possible. Dr. Perry Will Clarify Proposed Draft In Chapel Period Today . In an effort to relieve draft dazzled University students who packed the Dean of Men's office and the campus military adviser's office all day yester day, Dr. W. D. Perry will present a Hill hall on the expected passage of the Freshmen are expected to attend the " : Coed Senate Debates Over Curfew Bill 7 Frat Agreement Also Draws Hot Debate "I'd rather have the coeds criticize me than have the whole state criticize the Carolina coeds!" said senator Frances Bedell, speaking in behalf of the shortened Friday night for coeds before a meeting of the coed senate last night. With an interested group of specta tors attending the meeting, a heated debate culminated in the passage of a motion to sponsor discussion of the is sue at all women's dormitories and sororities Friday, Monday and Tues day nights at house meetings. The bill will come to a final vote Wednes c ay at a call meeting of the senate. A letter from President Frank Gra ham addressed to speaker of the sen ate Ditzi Buice, commending general reaction of campus leaders in regard Ca i. the proposal v an4 urging the sen- ate's compliance, was read during the discussion. Speaker Buice emphasized that of greater importance than the issue itself was the fact that Caro to display their . willingness to co operate in all programs for national defense, however small, and that re flection would be upon the entire coed student body in the event that it re fused cooperation. The bill reads: "Whereas all dances will now close at 12:00 on Friday, and midnight shows are no longer held on Friday, the coed senate here by enacts that the dorm closing hour on Friday night be changed to 1:00." With the senate's approval of the interfraternity agreement coeds will now be allowed to visit fraternity houses. The agreement gives frater nities the privilege to "entertain women students only in social rooms, halls, porches, and dining halls on the first floors" from 12 noon Mondays through Fridays until the dormitory closing time. No alcoholic beverages may be served in the presence of coed guests. Nancy Jeffers and Winnie Rosen- baum, were accepted unanimously for the offices of vice-president and secre tary respectively of the WAA, which were left open" by the failure of Al- liene Brawley and Betsy Ross to re turn this year. Displaying their earnestness in the See COED SENATE, page 8 Scrap Drive Misses Goal By 5,000 Pounds; Spence Praises New Spirit of Cooperation Scrap Suggestions Scrap can be found in many places, but most important however is know ing what to look for. Here are a few suggestions. For students living in fraternities and dormitories : old irons, lawn mow ers, radiators, ash cans, pails, pipe, old tools, wash boards, jar tops, metal cabinets, lamp bulbs, metal hangars, note book hinges, kitchen utensils, and trophies. For the coeds : keys, locks, compacts, lockets, fake jewelry, nail files, metal knick knacks, tubes of all kinds, bottle openers, and bottle tops. If any items are located that cannot be handled easily students may get in touch with the information center at the Daily Tar Heel office. 4 M easure short statement today at 10 o'clock in 18-19 year old draft bill. meeting which will be part of the regular chapel session and all other University students within that age bracket are urged to attend. Both Dean F. F. Bradshaw and Dr. Perry are attempting to get last minute information on the proposed bill from Washington and it is likely that a Washington telephone call will be made sometime this week so that some definite facts can be presented to the students. Perry urged students "not to be so excited" as the bill is still in the moulding stage. The actual passing of the bill must be completed in both houses following a lengthy debate, it is expected. "Even after the bill is passed," said Perry, "draft machinery has to be set up and all students will have time to finish the quarter." Perry made this last statement in reply to the number of students who have come to Dean Roland Parker's office asking for a "a few days off to go home and say goodbye." The shortness of the chapel hour will not permit a question and answer session but Perry emphasized that he will be in his office at 206 South all day today. Blanks for all the reserves are available and last minute infor mation can be secured. Perry express ed his willingness to assist all stu dents in the choosing of a reserve but declined to say if acceptance would mean deferment. Frat Council Moves to Pass Coed Agreement At a short meeting Tuesday night, the Interfraternity Council removed one more obstacle from the path of the agreement between coeds and fra ternities allowing coeds in fraternity houses, by passing and signing the agreement as it stood which means that it will probably go into effect tomorrow. Although in essence the same as last jrear's agreement, this year's has been required to pass through several more channels than usual before it may be finally adopted. A new requirement in the agree ment is that each fraternity man agree to and sign it individually. This is done in addition to having an au thorized representative from each house sign it in the name of that fra ternity. This requirement was added this year in order that violators of the agreement could not fall back on the excuse of "ignorance of the law." Ditzi Buice, Woman's Senate, and See FRAT COUNCIL, page 8 4 Fraternities, dormitories and town groups swung into action yesterday in an effort to reach the campus goal in a fast climaxing scrap drive. "We will have every committee mem ber helping or else," said a salvage committee chairman when asked about how much cooperation he was getting. "Up until now," Bob Spence, campus chairman said, "the students have not taken part in the drive as much as we wished, but since the beginning of this week we have had a show of coopera tive spirit. That is what we need. The collection of scrap now on hand falls short of what we want by about 5,000 pounds. If -every member of the stu dent body will contribute only a pound and a half of metal we will go beyond that goal." At the present time the scrap pile is hitting the 7,000 pound mark accord See SCRAP, page 8 Polls Stay Open Today rom 9 to 5 Amendment Proposal Must Get 50 Tally Student apathy hit a new high yes terday when after the second day of voting on proposed amendments to the constitution of the Legislature, only about one-third of the student body had voted which means that the polls will have to remain open another day since 50 percent of the student body must vote on the proposal. Polls will be open at the YMCA from 9 until 5 o'clock" today and election of ficials have urged that all students who have not voted do so at once in or der" that the unprecedented delay in getting enough votes will not drag on any longer. Under present laws of the Legisla ture 50 percent of the student body must vote on the amendment to amend any part oi tne constitution, and a simple majority of that number is re quired to pass the proposed amend ment. The four amendments which have been under vote for the last two days deal with changes in representation to the Legislature and lowering of the percent of students required to vote on new amendments to the constitu tion, or new laws initiated independ ently of the Legislature, and with making the power of referendum by students easier to invoke." Combination Mag Makes Appearance On Campus Today First issue to emerge from last year's campus-splitting controversy, the Carolina Magazine's October issue will roll from the presses this after noon and reach readers tomorrow morning. Combining representative efforts of all types of campus literature between its covers, the new mag "has attempt ed to increase its popular appeal for everybody on the campus by cutting down on long-hair writing," the edi tors said. Among the outstanding features of the new mag are: a pre-publication date-wood-cut from Claire Leighton's new book, "Southern Harvest;" the first published work of the Kay Kay ser scholarship award winner, Walter Carroll; and a thorough analysis of the fpod situation in Chapel Hill. Humor will be represented by sev eral full length humor stories and a page of humorous bits, both prose and verse. "The policy of the mag this year will be: print the best. More effort will be expended in making the mag readable, less in making it look pretty. Our make-up will be liberal and clear, but our primary aim is to tap the best in campus creative writ ing and print it," said editor Sylvan Meyer. Tin Can Advice Here's the way to doctor up those old tin cans. First you remove the label from the can, then thoroughly wash and dry. Take a can opener or some other cut ting tool and cut away both the bot tom and the remainder of the top, then flatten the can out as much as possible in order to save space. Be sure to keep the tops and bottoms and turn them in with the cans. After preparing the cans, either car ry them to the covered collection bin for the town, opposite the city hall or keep the cans inside your room until a truck calls for all the scrap in your house. It is imperative that the tin cans be kept dry since rusting will lower their value. 1 1 . 1
