Present Figure
Is Exactly Like
Last Quarter
Registration figures passed the
400 mark yesterday as totals
mounted on the second day of
spring quarter enrollment.
The figure was identical with
last quarter's corresponding
mark; and some sources antici
pated maintenance of the above-
2500 level. Over 260 signed up
for spring quarter classes on
Wednesday, with 151 passing
through at check-up time yester
day.
Former administration policy
of exam-week enrollment has
been killed, since Carolina's first
rush-graduation demands the use
of the entire South building staff.
Final registration for regular
students will close Monday at
o'clock.
New students, expected to en
ter from high schools and other
colleges, will be registered on
March 15, the first regular day
of classes. Changes in schedules,
previously handled throughout
the week, have been delayed until
that day. No changes will be
made before then or after March
22.
Instructions for all registrants
today, tomorrow and Monday, as
issued by Central Record's Chief
I. C. Griffin, remain unchanged.
1 For students in the General col-
liege Appointments rwith advis
ers are to be followed by a check-
through in the Memorial hall

visit here "soon" to discuss with University officials the possibility
of seniors in the ERC who are near graduation completing the year's
work. Possibility of the extension of the inactive status was indi
cated several weeks ago by University officials. The question of
students in occupational deferment fields will also be discussed.
Perrv also indicated that he had received information from the
headquarters of the fourth service command that ERC students
will be sent their orders "sometime next week." Deferments will
be made, if they are granted, after the orders are issued, it was
stated.
Concerning the Navy announcement, Perry stated that Students

tion near the end of their sophomore year and those who pass will

Godfrey Sees
Long Conflict
History Authority
Analyzes News Week
Dr. J. L. Godfrey last night
told a Daily Tar Heel news an
alysis session that the "war is far
from half over."
Basing his view on the conten
tion that the dominant power in
Europe would automatically con
trol the world, the social science
professor said that a Europe un
der the domination of one power
meant the automatic control of
the three continents, Europe,
Asia and Africa, resistance to
which bloc from any other sphere
would be vain.
Munich Blame
Godfrey placed the brunt of
the failure of Chamberlain's
Munich settlement on the obvious
loss of the Prime Minister's tem
per in a public address following
Hitler's absorption of the entire
Czechoslovakia, which in turn
swayed British public opinion
away from the appeasement
trend. Chamberlain's motive in
allowing the Fascist and Com
munist "menaces" to destroy one
another would have succeeded
but for this unforseen eventuali
ty, the analyst said.
The historian, third to appear
before the weekly analyses, at
tributed the failure of German's
Russian blitzkrieg to the resist
ance of the Yugoslavs and
Greeks, which halted German op
erations against Russia by as
much as six weeks during which
time the Soviets fortified them
selves. The weekly analysis will be
suspended next week because of
exams, but will be resumed next
quarter, managing editor Bob
Hoke explained.
