House Kills Rumor
Of Coed Exodus
From Chapel Hill
Campus rumors that coeds may
not find a berth at the University
next year were killed last night
by R. B. House, dean of adminis
tration, who declared that the
status of the coed now is "the
minimum guaranteed."
According to President Frank
Graham, House, and the trustees,
"There is no change contemplated
that would affect the status of wo
men in the university as to ad
mission, residence, or courses of
study. The only changes immin
ent are the introduction of special
war courses for women that may
be desirable or necessary. The
administrative dean regards the
rights and privileges of the wo
men at the University as an in
tegral and structural part."
Reports from Mrs. Stacy's of
fice show an expected increase in
enrollment as applications are
coming in steadily. The number
of coeds remaining for summer
school courses is also larger than
that of previous years. There is
also the consideration that the

Di Votes Down
Freezing Plan
Leaders Give Views
On Student Groups
In its first test before the cam
pus, the question of freezing stu
dent government : and organiza
tions was defeated by a large ma
jority last night at the Di senate
meeting after leading University
officials and student leaders had
presented viewpoints on the con
troversy. "With a handful of students,
government and organizations at
the University can be maintained
just as well as with a large
group," Deans House, Parker and
president-elect John Robinson ar
gued. They warned, however,
that maintaining work through
out the war will necessitate
streamlining activities to adjust
to changing conditions.
George Stammler, author of
the bill, spoke for the freezing
proposal. He pointed out that the
future student body would be of
unpredictable size, and that stu
