Experts Predict Tossup
In Carolina-State Clash
L
By Bill Woestendiek
Hampered by injuries to Co-captains Joe Austin and Tank Mar
shall, Carolina's Tar Heels take the field against State college to
day in Riddick stadium, Raleigh in a Southern conference and Big
Five battle that is rated a tossup by most experts.
The kick-off is slated for 2:30. The Tar Heels will leave by bus
&at 11:45 this morning. Coach Jim Ta
CPU Holds
Negro Problem
Panel Debate
Odum, Johnson
Among Speakers
Describing the Negro problem as
"one of the most critical now facing
us," Dick Railey, chairman of the Caro
lina Political union, said yesterday
that a panel on "The Negro in indus
try and the war" would be held in Gra
ham Memorial tomorrow at 8 p.m.
Placing emphasis on what part the
Negro will play in the current war,
the CPU for the past three weeks has
presented the problem at its regular
meeting and in the Daily Tar Heel.
To get both sides of the question, Dr.
Howard Odum, head of the sociology
department, and Dr. Guy Johnson, pro
fessor of sociology, will be present to
participate in the discussion. Leading
the Negro section of the panel will be
Dr. David Jones, president of Bennett
College, and Dean James Taylor of the
North Carolina College for Negroes.
Discussion on the Negro problem has
been carried on by both members of the
faculty and invited members of the
student body.
Dean Taylor, in a short speech last
Sunday, declared that "the problem
must be solved for several reasons.
First, the country needs all the avail
able manpower supply. That includes
the 13,000,000 Negroes in the United
States as well as the white people.
Secondly, we must be sure that upon
winning the war we win the peace. Not
only is the problem one for the whites
to help solve but one for the Negroes
as well.
Dr. Odum, who will speak at the
panel, has just returned from an Inter
racial conference in Atlanta and "will
be able to present many new outlooks
on the problem as well as data collected
while at the conference," Railey an

Bitter, Hard-Hitting Report
Seen in IRC Fotitch Speech
By Walter Klein
Constantin Fotitch's address in Me
morial hall Wednesday night is pre
dicted by International Relations club
officers to be Chapel Hill's fastest
moving, hardest-hitting and bitterest
speech since that of Alexander Lou
don, Dutch minister who spoke here
February 18.
Spectators remember Loudon's flash
ing teeth and clenched fists as he spat
out facts of Nazi atrocities in the
Netherlands and Japanese power in
the Dutch East Indies. After a re
cent conference with Fotitch in Wash
ington, IRC President Grady Morgan
stated that students can expect the
Yugoslav ambassador to waste no
words in his report on Yugoslav's gal
lant revolt against the Nazis.
Another recent Chapel Hill speak
er is also brought to mind when Fo
titch is mentioned Jan Masaryk,
Czechoslovakia's foreign minister, who
spoke in Memorial hall March 27.
his sophomore football stars are pictured as they discussed Tar Heel strategy for today's game with State College

performer, Billy Myers, tailback sensation, and Sam Arbes, who may get his big chance at fullback this afternoon.
tum is taking the entire squad into the
Wolfpack's lair.
Carolina will be given no more than
an even chance to whip the State eleven
if the Tar Heel captains play little to
day. Coach Jim Tatum stated yester
day that Austin, the injured wingback,
would probably start this afternoon,
but Joe is still limping and may not be
able to finish. Marshall,' first-string
guard, took a very light workout, and
is not expected to play today.
Entire Game
Coach Tatum ran over the entire
Carolina game yesterday, stressing
kicking, running and passing espe
cially. The Blue and White gridders
also worked on their defense, for the
State men are expected to dip deeply
into their bag'xrf tricks. The Wolves'
passes are a big source of worry to the
Tar Heels, who fell before Tulane's
aerial bombardment last week.
Fullback Clay Croom also spent
some time running from the wingback
spot yesterday and he will be ready to
take Austin's place if the speedy co
captain fails to hold up today. Andy
Karres was in one of the guard spots
on the first-string team yesterday, and
the Charlotte sophomore will start in
Marshall's place. Karres has played
stellar ball all fall and he should fill
the vacancy caused by Marshall's in
jury in fine fashion.
Arbes and Sigler
Sammy Arbes and Bill Sigler also
worked at fullback yesterday. Arbes,
sophomore line-plunger, has played
little all year, but he has looked good
in practice this week.
Carolina's starting line today aver
ages 192 pounds against State's 186.
The Tar Heel backfield averages about
180 pounds while the State secondary
averages around 170. This marks the
first time this season that the Carolina
club will enter a game enjoying a
weight advantage.
State's excellent reserve strength
gives the Wolfpack an edge in that
department. Coach Doc Newton uses a
two-team system, alternating two
elevens every quarter. The State club
boasts speed and passing power in its

Masaryk is credited with being co
leader of Europe's vast underground
system, together with Czech President
Eduard Benes. -
Fotitch's power in the movement to
free Europe of Nazi chains is today
more obvious than that of any other
diplomat. The Fighting Chetniks,
Serb guerrilla army battling Nazi
troops in the mountains of Yugosla
via, today are making headline after
headline as they add thousands of
Nazi bodies to their war pyres. A re
cent report from London said that
the Fighting Chetniks had killed
4,000 Germans in a single day's con
flict. General Draja Mikhailovitch, leader
of the revolutionary army, is a close
friend of the man who will speak in
Chapel Hill Wednesday night. IRC
officers believe that the Yugoslav am
bassador will reflect the words and
feelings of Mikhailovitch in his ad

War Information
Session Today
Back from Washington with the
latest facts concerning the status
of college students in the war ef
fort, Dean F. F. Bradshaw, with Dr.
W. D. Perry, will conduct an infor
mation session today at 10 a.m. in
Gerrard hall.
Dean Bradshaw announced the
meeting, commenting on the fact
that students disturbed as to their
courses and procedure in view of the
passage of the 18-19 year old draft
bill, might find some help and clari

Raleigh Meet
Eight UNC Men
Attend Assembly
i
The sixth annual student legislative
assembly, now meeting in Raleigh and
attended by eight UNC students, was
opened yesterday morning by an ad
dress by Thad Eure, North Carolina
secretary of state. " ?: " : "
Held each year by the State college
Pi Kappa Delta debating fraternity,
the legislature meets to discuss prob
lems of campus and national signifi
cance and to instruct student legisla
tors in parliamentary methods and pro
cedures. Cecil Hill, student here, was elected
president of the senate, and Bert Ben

Truck
Service
Cancelled
ODT Rule Causes
Last Minute Change
A last-minute decision by the Office
of Defense Transportation and Uni
versity lawyers has causeda cancella
tion of the plans to transport students
in trucks to the State-UNC game and
no trucks will leave for Raleigh today
to carry students.
After the trucking companies from
which the trucks were chartered had
stated that the plan to carry the stu
dents conformed with ODT regulations,
a last-minute decision came in from
the ODT last night which stated that
the plan was not in accord with the
curtailment of unnecessary travel
caused by the gasoline shortage and
consequently the trucks could not make
the trip.
. Also the Attorney-General, Harry
McMullan, gave a last-minute opinion
that to run the trucks to Raleigh would
require ' those sponsoring them to se
cure licenses and would have to get a
franchise to operate a transportation
company, either of which would have
made the cost of the trip prohibitive.
Jack Stoddart and J. G. Garden, who"
had arranged for the trip, stated last
night, "We are extremely sorry that
such an unfortunate situation has
arisen. Until last night we were sure
that everything about the trip was in
conformance with all regulations as we
had checked with all local authorities.
There is nothing we can do against the
last-minute ODT order, however, ex
cept to assure those students who had
i signed up for the trip that we had made
with the best of intentions of carrying
them out and after investigating all
rulings concerning such a trip as closely
as we know how. Refunds will be made
to those students who signed up for the
trip all next week in the YMCA from
2 until 5 o'clock."
Members of the University band
will go to the game as planned, meeting
at the bus station at noon.

Coming Here Friday
Students, Cadets to See Entertainers
In Double Perf ormance at Memorial Hall
Students and Pre-flight cadets will see Chapel Hill's first travel
ing entertainment program when a unit of the Camel Caravan pre
sents two hour-and-a-half free shows Friday night in Memorial
hall.
University students and townspeople will attend a performance
at y p.m. ana JNavai cadets will see a
show at 7 p.m.
Hollywood, Broadway, vaudeville,
night clubs, dance bands and radio
in short every major section of show
business make up the group of tal
ented entertainers who will perform.
Lee Norton, famed Latin-American
singer heads the cast as master-of-ceremonies.
Other well-known person
alities on this caravan include the
beautiful Three Debs with their mod
ern, sophisticated and 'swingy' song
harmonies; saucy Pearl Robins with
her tricky 'toe-tap' dance routines;
funster Clyde Hager, straight from a
two-year run at the Diamond Horse
shoe, with his hilarious 'pitchman' act ;
Charlie Masters, dipsy-doodle drum
mer, in his riotous comedy routine,
beating out rhythm on everything
from buttons to benches; the charm
ing Camelettes; and the music of
Bobby Kuhn and his Cavaliers.
Since October, 1941, two months be
fore the United States entered the
war, a unit of Camel caravan has been
presenting good will performances for
drafted and enlisted men. The unit
scheduled to appear here has made
performances at the leading Army
camps, Naval stations, Marine and
Army and Navy air bases throughout
the United States.
Back to the performers:
The Three Debs, smoothie vocalist
team, attended the University of Mis
souri from which they were graduated
in 1940. Their first engagement was
at the Chase hotel in St. Louis. In
the spring of 1941 they joined Charlie
Spivak's band at the Glen Island
Casino, in New York. While there,
they began to make records, appeared
in television and in a movie short.
They were also featured at the Famous
Door and the Park Central hotel. In
December, 1941, they went into the
road company of Hellzapoppin' and
stayed with it until this show closed
in Boston, in April, 1942.
Clyde has just finished a two-year
run at Billy Rose's Diamond Horse
shoe, where he tickled sophisticad
New York audiences with his rough
and ready line of swift gab. Two of his
taglines "get away from me, boys,
you bother me" and "that's all
brother" are now part of the coun
try's slang language.
Naval cadets see Clyde Hager and
his pitchman routine as plenty of com
petition for the crazy antics of Cadet
O'Sullivan.
The shows will not be broadcast.

Carolina's fifth Sunday Night Ses
sion promises to be the "bestyet" with

Harper, newly-appointed chairman of
the Sunday Night Session committee.

be supplemented by the popular bal
lads of the day, Harper said.

songs in his rich baritone voice. Fred
die Caligan and Lib Izen will do a

Earl Slocum Plans
New Drill Routines
Salutes to the armed services will
mark the Carolina band performance
at Riddick field in Raleigh this after
noon at the half period of the State
Carolina game.
In celebration of Greater University
day, Carolina and State bands will
share the half-time period. The UNC
blue and white 80-piece music section
will ehibit a new routine, brain child
of Director Earl Slocum, under the
skillful leadership of pretty Majorette
Isabel Robinson.
Honoring the Army and Navy air
forces, the Carolina band will form
three airplanes moving down the field
to the accompaniment of simulated mo
tor roars by the band. Formation of an
Army rifle will pay tribute to the Army
artillery while the strains of the
"United States Field Artillery March"
roll out across the field. Not neglecting
the Navy, the formation will take the
shape of an anchor to the tune of the
old Navy anthem "Anchors Aweigh."
Each of these drill routines wa3
originated and worked out by Earl Slo
cum. Since his arrival in 1933 as di
rector of the band, he has worked out
the routines on paper before the ac
tual rehearsals.
Traveling today in regular busses to
Raleigh, the band will be making its
only trip of the year with the team.
