an IRC forum that the four lead

war would be, in order : the U. S.,
Great Britain, China and Russia.
The forum, the first in a sched

Miss Ann West, chairman of the

What was scheduled to be an

whereas Russia had endeavored
after the last war to make the
League of Nations a success, the
U. S., deserting its high-flown

Defense Area
According to an announcement
from J. M. Lear, executive-secretary
of the local Consumers' as
sociation yesterday, Chapel Hill
is classified as a Defense Rental
Area under the nationwide act of
President Roosevelt on October
15.
This announcement came as a
direct contradiction to yester
day's Daily Tar Heel story
which took an on-the-f ence stand
until definite information was
received. Although two Raleigh
OPA officials claim that Chapel
Hill does not fall under the rent
control ban the OPA Washington
report overshadows any Raleigh
statement.
Citizens are called upon to po
lice the rent situation and report
all violations to Paul A. Porter,
OPA deputy director in Wash
ington. In a report to Lear, Porter
warned that violation of the rent
ceilings would result in Federal
rent supervision similar to that
in force at Durham.
Porter's report from Washing
ton said that local landlords, un-

Occupancy of the new struc
ture, which is located behind the
Raleigh and Pittsboro Roads, will
represent the answer to a need
that has been present since the
Pre-flight School was commis
sioned last spring. Navy patients
have been quartered in the Uni
versity Infirmary, while the med
ical and dental offices of the Pre-
flight School have been housed in
the administration building at
Alexander hall.
After the war the hospital with
its modern facilities will be turn
ed over to the University for use
by Carolina students and faculty.
Harmonious Design
The new infirmary, built of
cement and brick, is of Colonial
design, fully reinforced and fire
proofed. It is three stories high,
and all floors are equipped with
the latest medical facilities.
On the first floor, along with
a large waiting room are offices
for the senior medical officer, exe
cutive officer, senior dental offi
cer, and all staff doctors ; also an
administration office and record

Rush construction will begin
immediately on two barrack resi
dence halls with completion date
set for March 15, announced Ad
ministration Dean R. B. House
yesterday.
Although no definite plans of
the buildings have been received,
it is expected that they will be
similiar in. construction and
general appearance to the newly-completed
Naval ROTC armo
ry. University Lease
According to the contracts
drawn up, the University will
lease the buildings for the dura
tion of the war and will manage
and sub-lease living quarters to
students. Occupants will more
than likely have to be in training
in some branch of the intensified
war program before rooms will
be let.
The buildings will be located on
Pittsboro street, west of the Ca
rolina Inn apartments. This site
was chosen in order that less pipe
feet would be needed for con
struction. Priorities on plumbing
equipment are difficult to obtain
in Washington with the result
(that the barracks are being placed
near the central heating plant
of the University.
Previous to today's announce
ment, negotiations had been un
der way with the War depart
ment in Washington for over
three weeks before approval
could be obtained.
Additional facilities become
necessary with the arrival of the
Army Meteorology school March
1.
Robert Levin,
Night Editor,
Leaves DTH
Bob Levin, Daily Tar Heel
night editor for almost a year,
yesterday announced his resigna
tion from the paper in order to
devote more time to studies since
he faces spring induction into the
Army Air corps.
In releasing his letter, Levin
stated, "My parents and officials
have advised me that top physi
cal and mental condition will be
required of every boy taken un
der the Army Air Corps Enlisted
Reserve plan. Work on the Tar
Heel, if it is to be of any value,
requires a great deal of time and
energy. I can no longer devote
this much time and so no longer
feel myself capable of covering
South building."
Loss of Levin makes the third
night editor of the year to resign.
This again leaves the staff short
handed with but two night edi
tors to fill the gap left by Levin's
"forced defection."
