Ignore Meatless Day
Bv Earl TIpffnM-
President Harry S. Truman, should he have visited Chapel Hill 1
yesterday, would have been disheartened at the sight of half the (

direct violation of the Chief
Executive's request for meatless
Tuesdays.
During the noon hours yes
terday, a Daily Tar Heel report
er made a personal survey of
the menus of various town eat
ing establishments.
Three Serve Meat
While no itemized listing was
made of the meats offered on the
menus, three of the six estab
lishments open for business at
that hour had cusromers who
were partaking of meat courses.
Two of the Franklin street
food emporiums the Carolina
Coffee shop and the Marathon
were closed. But such is the
Tuesday custom of the Mara
thon. Complying with the Presi
dent's wishes, judging by meals
before customers, were the Col
lege Sandwich shop, Danziger's
and Harry's. Each of these es
tablishments were serving meat
substitutes such as chicken or
fish.
Joining these two in serving
substitutes was the Carolina Inn.
Balance Score
But to balance the score in ac
cordance with national opinion
which is said to be split fifty
fifty as to whether the meatless
"Tuesdav " should Be observed,
were three establishments the
University, the Campus, and
Gooch's.
Noted on the tables before
some of its customers for the
most part consisting of Univer
sity students were such meats
as hamburger, veal steak, and
pork chops.
This was meatless Tuesday in
Chapel Hill.
On campus the story was sim
ilar with Lenoir dining hill
serving meat substitutes while
an uncounted and undetermined
number of fraternities failed to
join the ranks of the one-day-a;
week vegetarians.

IFC Rules Committee
To Indoctrinate All
Following a meeting of the
Interfraternity council Rules
committee, chairman Meigs
Golden announced that an "ori
entation to rush week" meeting
will be held Sunday afternoon
at 2 o'clock in Hill hall.
This meeting, although not
compulsory, is a "must" for all
freshmen, transfers or other new
students who are interested in
joining some fraternity and have
received at least one formal bid
to visit a fraternity house dur
ing rush week, Golden said.
Begins at 3
Formal rushing is scheduled
to begin at 3 o'clock, immedi
ately following the meeting.
Golden explained, "The main
purpose is to instruct the men
as to fraternity plans and pro
cedures and emphasize certain
restrictions accompanying rush
week at Carolina."
Handbooks will be distributed
by the IFC outlining rushing
rules. Men will have explained
to them in detail the rules
which they must follow during
the week and will be urged to
arcmaint themselves thoroughly
with them so as to avoid viola
tions. The committee also announc
ed the procedure IFC will use
in issueing formal invitations to
ioin. On Wednesday. October
29, all men who have been rush
ed formally and are interested
in joining some fraternity must

up their formal invitations to
join.
It was emphasized' by the
group in this connection tha'
because a man has been rushed
by a fraternity informally since
the beginning of school or for
mally during rush week it does
not necessarily mean that the
man will receive an invitation
to ioin that fraternity.
Therefore, the rushee must
report to Memorial Hall on Oc
tober 29 to obtain his invita
tion. He must then go to Ger
rard Hall and pay the IFC fee
of one dollar which will then
entitle him to go to the house
of his choice. A table will be
set up by the IFC for this pur
pose. Failure of rushees to comply
with any of these regulations
will result in their being dealt
with bv the Interfraternity
Council Court, Golden said.
Formal bid cards were issued
by the IFC at their weekly
meeting Monday night in Gra
ham Memorial. A condensation
of rushing rules have been
printed on the back and carry
such reminders to the mentis.

Wafer Filter Plant
To Be Constructed
On Local 12 Acres
The constuction of a new
water filter plant, with a ca
pacity of three million gallons,
for the University and the sur
rounding area was announced
yesterday by Collier Cobb, Jr.,
chairman of the Trustees' Build
ing committee.
Purchase of the 12-acre site,
iocated beyond Carrboro on
the road to University Lake,
was completed Monday by the
committee and A. D. Bond, the
former owner of the property.
Contracts for the construction
should be let as soon as the
State Advisory Budget com
mission has approved the de
signs, Cobb explained. The de
signing of the plant will be
done by the William C. Olsen
company of Raleigh.
Because of the critical short
age in drinking water suffered
by the University community
during recent months, Cobb
said that "as soon as the plans
are completed, the approval of
the state commission should be
forthcoming."
The new plant will be design
ed to serve ? 0,000 people, in
cluding Carrboro, the Univer
sity student body, Chaoel Hill,
and surrounding localities. This
is expected to solve the area's
water problem for some years
to come, as there will be room
6rithefilter"lTte" for tfieex-"
panding of facilities to supply
100,000 water users. The site
was chosen with care by the
committee from six other alter
nates, Cobb concluded, and is
iusf a short distance, away from
University Lake, which is the
source of the community's water
supply. Pines will be laid down
the road from the lake to the
new plant.
Frame Buildings
To Get Heat Soon
"Wa should get heat into all
the temporary classrooms with
in the next 10 days," J. S. Ben
nett, University building super
visor promised yesterday.
During the temporary respite
afforded by the current mild
weather, University building
authorities have been busily en
gaged in searching for the need
ed pipe or a serviceable sub
stitute. Bennett said they had
managed to procure a quantity
of footage of steel pipe from
Army buildings at Camp But
ner near Durham. If they can
obtain outside pipe for the nec
essary insulation, the installa
tions can be quickly made, Ben
nett explained. Pipes made of
an asbestos and cement compo
sition will be used if the Uni
versity is unable to get any
more steel.
"We have already got the
heating operating in four or five
of the structures," Bennett con
cluded. Coast Guard Favor
Ends as Boomerang
Rockawav Beach, New York,
Oct. 14 (UP) A Rockaway
Beach gasoline station owner
who thought he was doing the
coast fmard a favor got the scare
of his life today when the object
he thought was a marker buov
turned out to be a 400-pound
mine.
Irving Chick saw the object
floating in Jamaica Bav near his
was station. He lifted it to the
bulkhead with a tow truck and
then called the coast guard to
e11 them he had found a buov.
The coast guard sent two of its
men to the scene. They imme
diately identified the spear
shaped object as a mine.
Police say that the mine is so
rusted that it is impossible to
identify its nationality. ,
Eve-Witness
An American in Europe
By John P. Kennedy, Jr.
(Editor's note: The following article is part of the obser
vations of John P. Kennedy, Jr., a student at the Univer-'
sity, who spent last year in England and in Europe. His
opinions are not necessarily those of the staff.)
America today is incredibly rich, prosperous, and sleek.
If we could see ourselves as visitors from the world outside
see us, we should say, not only that Americans have that
strange habit of chewing gum and that they walk with a
kind of looseness that identifies them anywhere, but also
that they are rich, that they all wear brand-new clothes,
that nearly every family has an enormous car, and that every
meal is a huge feast.
Last month I returned , from a visit of a year in England
and on the Continent, and I was surprised, when I landed
in this country, at our amazing prosperity, at our bright
neckties, at the extreme politeness of the South, and sur
prised also to see that we American university students are
so little concerned about " contemporary world problems.
Students in "pubs" at Oxford and Cambridge and in cafes
on the Boulevard St. Michel are more concerned with the
ideological conflict between Russia and America and the
problem of rebuilding Europe than "we are. We, Dr. Craig
has pointed out, whose country is a principal in the ideologi
cal war, are hardly concerning ourselves at all to strengthen
our position. We, on this side of the Atlantic, do not realize
how real the threats to world peace of hunger, cold, and

SCHW Meets
To Assist Unions
Fall activities of tile South
ern Conference for Human
Welfare will get under way this
evening at 7:30 when the or
ganization meets at the Presby
terian church to discuss several
new programs.
According to Chairman Geor
gia Ethridge, the local group
will continue to work for recog
nition of the United Public
workers, CIO, by the Univer
sity. During the summer session
the group undertook, along with
several other campus organiza
tions, to bring to the attention
of the student body the fact that
employees of the University who
belong to the union are denied
the right of collective bargain
ing. This situation has arisen,
conference' members explained,
because the University's trus
tees have passed a resolution
which makes it impossible for
any official in the administra
tion to recognize the existence
of a union.
Conference members here are
also planning to discuss ways

living at this evening's meeting.
