Average Carolina stu dents. Through the formation of a Student Activities Center 'in the Horace Williams lounge of Graham Memorial, the stu dent union is prepared to take all of these alphabetical extra curricular organizations to every new student himself. The center, designed as an information and recruiting cen ter for these groups, is a part of Graham Memorial's program to serve the student body in every possible means. Director of the center is Jesse Dedmond, third-year student. ; Representatives from more than a dozen campus groups have ' been conducting inter views with all interested stu dents from 2 to 5 o'clock every afternoon this week. As it is now set up, each group or or ganization has -a table in the room, and a spokesman for the group. Mimeographed informa tion for their specific group is available at every table, and photo and poster displays are placed around the wall by many tables. For this first week students have been coming in voluntari ly to look over the organiza tions. Beginning next Monday new students who have not pre viously been through the Cen ter will be contacted for inter views" with organizations in which they expressed interest during orientation. ' "We believe there is a great need for developing stronger in terest in student activities "on campus," GM Director Bill Shu ford has written campus activi ties leaders. He estimated that only 250 to 300 students out of. the entire student body of nearly 7000 had been active in student government or other student activities. i The 14 groups set up in the center at present include Daily Tar Heel, Carolina Magazine, 'Tarnation (humor magazine), Yackety Yack, Woman's Inter dormitory council, Valkyries, Carolina Political union, Inter national Relations club, Collegi ate Council on United Nations; Sound and Fury, Order of the Grail, Phi Assembly, Di Senate, and Graham Memorial.

Mrs. Elizabeth "Ditz" Brit ton, dining hall accountant, said that the proposed "Tray Shop" would conform in much the same manner to a similar set up at the S & W cafeteria at Eal eigh. The system was first introduced in lenoir last fall. "It's one of the fastest means of service," Mrs. Britton point ed out, "and nine persons can be served per minute. The Tray Shop method has proven a great labor saver as well." Under new , management: Lenoir dining hall has now as its director R. Dewey Roscoe, who has been affiliated with the University for the past five years. He served as manager of the old Swain Hall under Su pervisor L. 11. Gooch, who pres ently is connected with a res taurant chain at Charlottesville, Va. Meal Hours at Lenoir have been somewhat shortened over last spring's schedule. Break fast hours are seven until 9:15 o'clock, excepting Sundays when the hall opens at 8:30 and closes at 9:30 o'clock. Lunch will be served from 11:45 until J 1:45 o clock, and dinner trom five until seven. For the first time since last fall a year ago, all wings of the dining hall are open. Man ager Dewey Roscoe is currently acting in the capacity of diet itian, and purchaser due to a shortage of assistance. University officials hope to serve in the neighborhood of 10,000 students daily this fall, or some 3,500 per meal. Board Makes Rules For Coed Visiting: Women Students may visit fraternity houses ol Satur day and Sunday during the Georgia - Carolina weekend during certain hojars provided a chaperone, who has been approved for the specific oc casion, is present. The Dean of Women will approve the chaperones. -The houses may receive visitors between 12 noon and 1 a.m. on Saturday and between 12 noon and midnight on Sunday. The Daily Tar Heel will publish on Friday a list of the fraternities which will be open to coeds. This provision has been sanctioned by Bar bara Cashion, Leon Todd, and the executive committee for the' Interfraternity Council, who are the active members of the House Privileges Board. at Lenoir Checks lor Vets Will be Month Late Veterans on campus should not expect - their sul3istence checks before November 1, according tok an announce ment made by Colonel F. Car lylc Shcpard, University vet erans director. . The delay, Colonel Shepard says, is necessitated by the registration this late in Sep tember and the consequent impossibility of completion of records for October. Howev-1 er, the checks should arrive within the first ten days of November for an amount to cover the last few days of September and the entire month of October. Colonel Shepard also re minds veterans that thereafter their, subsistence will be paid at the end of each month as usual and not in advance. Subsistence Checks Held by Postmaster Today is last chance for near ly three hundred Carolina vet erans to secure August subsist ence checks, Postmaster W. S. Hogan warned yesterday. Many veterans studying here under the GI Bill were away from Chapel Hill over the Sep tember 1-9 period when most checks arrived, and some failed to claim them at the post office. He said yesterday VA head quarters in Richmond had ex tended the delivery deadline un til today. Checks may be claim ed at the General Delivery win dow in the post office from 9 a.m. till 5 p.m. May Move To Dorms The housing office has an nounced eight dormitory as signments that were made too late to contact the students con cerned at their home addresses. As soon as the following stu dents report to the basement of South building for a dormitory key, they may move from the quonset huts to these rooms im mediately: James W. Cheshire, from hut 23 to 110 Everett; Foy R. Cole, hut 23 to 313 Aycock; James B. Garrison, hut 26 to 112 Everett; Wingate . Hannah, hut 20 to 309 Graham; Tyler R.

New Students Lift Enrollment to 7,250 Record Every continent except Ant artica is represented in the record-breaking student body that begins classes this morning, Ad missions Director Roy Arm strong announced yesterday. Reflecting an enrollment peak at schools everywhere, registration at Carolina will reach approximately 7,250 for the fall quarter, Armstrong es timates. The expected, total rep resents a gain of more than 6 percent over last year's figure. Tar Heel Frosh . A breakdown of Armstrong's setimates predicts between 600 and 700 as the number of 1947 North Carolina high school graduates entering as freshmen. Several hundred more state high school graduates returning from military service will see their first university work. As a result of action by the state legislature last winter out-of-state enrollment has been limited to 10 percent of the stu dent body. Only 150 new stu dents have been admitted from outside North Carolina, and all of these except several under graduate women are quartered off campus. Foreign Students - Over 50 students more than before have been admitted from foreign countries. Fifteen South American exchange stu dents are studying in the School of Public Health under U.S. government sponsorship. Others India, Egypt, Iraq, Norway, represent South Africa, China, Australia, Canada, Mexico, and Nicaraugua.; Total estimated college en rollment in - the United States this fall, according to the" Amer ican Council of Education, will approach 2,500,000, a gain of 200,000 over last year. Carolina's enrollment increase, though record-breaking, falls two per cent below the national gain. New students reported to duty Friday morning at 9 for a conference with Dean C. P. Spruill. During the fbllowing orientation period they have un dergone placement tests, in struction in regulations and tra dition, arid physical examina tions.

Though the next .session of Congress is many weeks off, hard pressed veterans on 'college campu.xs are already planning to bombard their congressmen for relief from the jet-propelled coil of living. I Having been cheated of in- creased subsistence by Republi can leaders during the closing minutes of House debate last July, veterans are determined this time they will get no more double play.

The collection will be placed in the building's main gallery which will be call ed the Genevieve M. Morehea 1 Gallery, in tribute to Mr. More head's late wife. The University of North Car olina will be the only univer sity or college in the world to own a planetarium, which, by the way, is not the same thing as art oo.:..:3vatory. A planetar ium is a model of the planetary system which can display on a high, domed ceiling the move ment of celestial bodies. An ob servatory is a building for the telescopic viewing of stars, planets, etc. The new planetarium will be similar to other buildings of this type in five of America's metropolitan centers. S.
