NROTC Classes ,
, Moved to Peabody
By Helen Highwater
Heconversion of Swain hall into a
student cafeteria began this week
will be completed by December 1, it
was learned yesterday.
Planned as a solution to the crowded
eating conditions, revamped Swain hall
will supplant temporary facilities es-J
tablished in the present basement of
Lenoir hall and in the Carolina Inn
ballroom.
Classes of the NROTC were moved
into Peabody hall the first of this week
as laborers moved in to strip the build
ing and install cafeteria fixtures neces
sary for the serving of 500 students
per meal. Offices of the NROTC will
remain intact in the building until the
new. armory rapidly under construc
tion on Columbia avenue opposite the
medical dormitory is ready for occu
pation. Date Depends on Holiday
"Exact opening date of Swain hall
to student traffic on December 1 de
pends on the dates set for the Christ
mas holidays," L. B. Rogerson, assistant-controller
of the University, sta
ted yesterday. Officials indicate that
it would be impractical to open the
first day of December if holidays
should be set early in that month. Act
ion on the exact dates for the yule re
cess is expected to be determined by the
general faculty in meeting this after
noon. Originally built as central feeding
plant for the student body, Swain hall
has a transient career, having been
completely remodeled several times.
Commons System
Originally built in 1912, the hall was
operated under the "commons" system
similar to the family style now used
in Lenoir hall for the cadets- until
1935 when it was closed by the Admin
istration because "the steadily declin
ing patronage did not warrant further
monetary loss in its operation." After
student demands, it was reopened and
remodeled into a cafeteria in Septem
ber, 1936, and finally gave ground to
the newly-completed Lenoir dining hall
in January, 1940. At that time it was
remodeled and partitioned into offices
for various campus agencies. It served
in that capacity through several re
vampings until this past summer when
it was stripped and converted into an
armory for the NROTC unit.
NROTC in New Armory
Construction of the new armory on
Columbia street will fulfill the needs
of the Naval ROTC. No date for the
completion of the armory has been ad
vanced by authorities but it is esti
mated that 60 per cent of the construc
tion is completed.
Necessity of the reconversion of
Swain came about during the summer
session when the needs of Naval Pre
flight school caused the closing of
mamouth Lenoir hall to the student
body. A temporary cafeteria was open
ed in the basement for two weeks but
was closed and makeshift arrange
ments were installed in the ballroom
of the Carolina Inn to alleviate the
cramped eating facilities of the Uni
versity. With the reopening of Swain,
the Inn facilities will be taken out.
Installation of plumbing, gas lines
from the infirmary, and extra equip
ment and counters from Lenoir hall are
necessary for the conversion.
Interfraternity Council
Releases Case Decisions
(Editor's Note: Following the custom of the student council, the Inter
fraternity council in conjunction with the house privileges board will pub
lish sample cases and decisions of infractions of the coed-interfratemity
agreement.)
CASE I
FACTS: Several members of a fraternity house were drinking
in the presence of a coed. The coed was also drinking. Another frater
nity boy entered the room, reminded the girl's date of the Interfraternity
agreement and requested that the boy report himself to the fraternity s
Interfraternity council representative. The boy did this and his only
excuse was that he had forgotten the Interfraternity agreement. The
house president reported the case immediately to the Interfraternity
council and the coed privileges board. m .
DECISION AND OPINION: That the fraternity house be denied coed
privileges for three weeks, and the board recommended that the coed
in question be tried by the woman's honor council.
The board feels that every student should report violations of the
Interfraternity agreement since every student signed it. This is a mat
ter of personal honor to be decided by the individual. However only
the Interfraternity council members are subject to trial by the honor
council for not reporting.

in the campus song writing contest has
been extended one week, thereby mov
ing the closing date to Wednesday,

score. Judges' decision will be final and

State football game last Saturday.
The rides were cancelled because of
a ruling by the Office of Defense
Transportation and license require
ments by the state. Stoddart and Car
den have been making refunds all week
but there are still many students
who have not claimed their money and
they are warned to do so today as it
is positively the last day that refunds
will be made.
Arrives
Student Show
Charlie Masters, dipsy doodle drum
mer, in a comedy routine; the charm
ing Camelettes, and the music of
Bobby Kuhn and his cavaliers.
The Three Debs attended the Uni
versity of Missouri, graduated in
1940. Their first professional engage
ment 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 made records and ap
peared in a movie short. V
They were also given top billing at
the Famous Door and the Park Cen
tral hotel. In December, 1941, they
went into the road company of "Hell
zapoppin' " and stayed with it until
the show closed in Boston.
Clyde has just finished a two-year
run at Billy Rose's Diamond Horse

New York audiences with his rough
and ready line of swift gab."
The shows are not to be broadcast.
First showing at 7 o'clock is being ar
ranged so cadets may be in bed by

Ghest Drive
Needs $10,000
; Machinery Set Up
1 For Fund Campaign
The community chest committee de
cided yesterday to ask the student
body to back Carolina's first concert
ed fund-raising drive to the extent of
$10,000.
T Although no. definite action can be
taken until the community chest em
powering act passes the legislature,
the committee went ahead setting up
the drive machinery, in anticipation
of the approval.
Special Dance
Plans discussed call for -a special
dance on the last Friday in November,
a short, concentrated campaign, and
complete campus organization cooper
ation to reach the $10,000 goal. This
would mean an average contribution
jof about $3.00 per student, but since
this drive would take the place of the
many little ones that annually come
up, such an amount is not considered
out of reach.
Bert Bennett, Marsha Hood, Bern
ard Moser, Nancy Smith, Harry Com
er and Martha Johnson were appoint
ed to the executive board of the or
ganization. Sara Sutton will serve as chairlady
of the woman's division committee,
which will include Djtzi Buice, Julia

CWC Opposes
Mag Abolition
Board Unanimous
Against New Bill
The Carolina Workshop council voted
unanimously Wednesday night to op
pose the bill before the student legis
lature to abolish the Carolina Maga
zine. Posponement of the bill came Tues
day night with passage by the student
legislature of a measure to table the
bill until the winter quarter.
Backed by five art departments on
the campus and two creative art or
ganizations, the Workshop council
formed a front line for a pro-magazine
movement. Its support is in line with
the council's established policy of pub
licizing; coordinating, and. encourog
ing all student efforts in the creative
art fields.
Carruth Addresses Group
Hayden Carruth, managing editor
of the Mag," spoke to the Workshop
council at the meeting before the vote
was taken. According to Carruth, each
of the three campus publications has
already had it budget severly slashed
by the Publications Union board be
cause of decreased revenue from stu
dent fees.
"The bill to kill the Mag," he said,
"was presented so that the appropria
tion for its budget could be used to
make up the $2,300 deficit of the Daily
Tar Heel." He stated that he not only
considered it unfair to one publication
over another but that the passage of
the bill would provide only a temporary
solution to budget problems of various
campus publications.
In view of the present war condi
tions, he predicted that all three publi
cations would have to take rather se
vere budget cuts at the beginning of
the winter quarter if an expected drop
in ctudent enrollment occurs. He ex
plained that temporary postponement
of the Mag bill and the related budget
issue would permit complete adjust
ment at a later date when enrollment
figures and income from publication
fees could definitely be determined.
