EDITORIALS Ntwcomtn Thoughts Name for "A" Dorm Convention Volts VOLUME LVI United Press CHAPEL HILL, N. C FRIDAYJUNE 11, 1943 Phone F-3371 F-3361 No. 173 Summer Registration Reaches Record Figure Of 4,400 Students Drop-and-Add Set To Begin Today In Venable Annex GUY PHILLIPS All indications pointed yester day afternoon to a record-breaking summer school enrollment with approximately 4,400 students registered for the various Uni versity courses, according to Guy B. Phillips, director of this year's summer school. 1.800 New Students Twenty-six hundred regular Carolina students had pre-regis-tered prior to the opening of re gistration yesterday morning for new students. It was estimated late last night that the new stu dents would total over 1,800. This number does not include health and intercultural work shop students, nutrition students and law students. The number of second-term students expect ed here has not been tabulated. Pre-registered students found a long line at Woollen gymnas ium, where registration took place, before the doors opened at 9 o'clock yesterday morning, but after the first rush, the students moved through the doors, picked up their cards and were out of the building within fifteen min utes. Students registering for the first time had a more difficult time of it, but were given ap - pointment cards at the front of the gym eliminating a possible long waiting period before en tering the building. Drop and Add Drop-and-add procedure is scheduled to begin at 8:30 this morning at the registration hall, located in Venable X, according to Mrs. Eileen Burton of the Cen tral Records section. She added, however, that rain last night tvould postpone the movement of records from Woollen, and that if it did rain, the doors to the drop-and-add line would not be opened until 10:30 this morning. - ? ' Students Must List Summer Addresses All students who have changed residences for the summer term were advised yesterday by Post master W. S. Hogan that they may change their addresses on special forms available for that purpose at the post office. The only thing which must be done, he said, is come to any of the windows in the post office and fill out a Change of Address form. He pointed out that this will be necessary for all former residents of the quonset huts, as no further mail will be delivered there. COEDS BEWARE " Women students. must not enter fraternity houses until further of ficial notice appears in the Daily Tar Heel, Audrey Branch, assist ant to the dean of women, warned yesterday. Coeds are not permitted to visit fraternities until a visiting agree ment is completed and approved between the fraternities an'",the University administration. r ! Y yx I I - I i I 4 I i i Am ' I MM I Bill Shuford As Student z By John Stump Bill Shuford, well-liked direct- or of Graham Memorial, has sub- mitted his resignation to take a position as assistant executive secretary of the Alumni associa- tion, it was announced yesterday, j According to Dean Fred Wea ver, secretary of the Graham Memorial Board of Directors, "Bill's resignation is being accept ed with the deepest regret." I To Leave July 1 Shuford, who assumed the di- J rectorship on July 1, 1947, ex pects to actually vacate his form er post this. July 1 after holding it for exactly a year. During that time, he has or ganized the Rendezvous room, which is now enjoying its great est popularity since its establish ment, and has taken a leading part in getting the Student Enter tainment series back on its feet. Under his directorship, noted hypnotist Franz Polgar, Mickey McDougall, the card detective, the Deep River Rhythm boys, and many minor entertainers have been brought to the campus by Graham Memorial. Home Is Where . . . Shuford, a native of Asheville, is a member of the Carolina class of 1941. During the war, he ser ved as an officer in the Armored Infantry for five years, two of Graham, Aycock Are Taken Over by Coeds By Bill Buchan ' Graham and Aycock dormitories, long used to the sound of male voices and the habits of college men, have adopted a new look with the beginning of the summer session. Ambitious male students, look- ing for old buddies or taking a five-minute break on the way home from the tennis courts, will find the welcome mat withdrawn and a chorus of protesting fem inine voices if they dare enter the once male-inhabited halls. The answer to the mystery, ac cording to J. E. Wadsworth, Uni versity housing director, is tha overflow of women students here during the summer months. i Married Couples In addition to these two, Alex- i ander and Whitehead dormitories have been filled ' with married couples and Stacy and Everett have been assigned to the Ex tension division for use by vari ous groups visiting the campus for different occasions scheduled during the summer. Lewis, the remaining dorm in the lower quad, will remain vacant to per mit a general overhauling and repainting job. It will be used however. Wadsworth stated, if overcrowded conditions make it necessary. "A" dorm, the first of the three new dormitories to be completed, is in use for the first time by students this summer. Just for Summer The housing director empha sized that the dormitory assign ments are for the summer and are not necessarily for the fall term. He urged all students who plan to remain at Carolina throughout the year to make a room deposit as soon as possible for the fall term. "While we try to please all students in the assignments of rooms," Wadsworth asid, "many of the rooms now occupied by students are assigned to students who" are not in summer school. These rooms will be returned to their regular occupants in the fall and new summer school stu dents will have to be assigned to other quarters." Resigns Job Union Head i ' ' !

While an undergraduate here, Bill, as he is known to everyone around Graham Memorial, was secretary-treasurer of the student body, delegata of the Grail, and a member of the Golden Fleece. He served two years on the Stu dent council and was a member of the University club, Interdor- mitory council, and , committees. numerous Students Vacate m Quonset Hut Area For Summer Terms Forty quonset huts stood locked and empty yesterday as mute tes timony to the decreased summer enrollment at the University. To those men who only last week walked out of the hut area after living, in some cases as much as a year, in the "tenement on the tennis courts," their re-opening date will be too soon if it is never. But the official word from South building yesterday was that reali zation of an anticipated fall en (See HUTS, page 4) After 'Long Visit7 . 'z f' i i 4 Ss f - Grad Student from Oslo Ready To Go to Paris with Carnegie By Jim Dickinson A graduate student from Oslo, Norway, who came to the Uni versity on a "short visit" and ended up in school, has just re ceived his master's degree in philosophy and is preparing to leave for Paris to accept a promi nent position with the Carnegie endowment for international peace. Erik Tranoy, who has been here since March, 1947, spent 16 months of 1944-45 in' a concen tration camp in Germany and after his release came to the Uni ted States in 1946. He held a position with the Norwegian embassy in Washing ton, D. C, for a while and came to Chapel Hill for a visit. Highly impressed by the Chapel Hill and University atmosphere, he decid Jed to continue his education here and was awarded the Graham Kenan scholarship. House Delivers Welcome Speech To New Students Chancellor R. B. House wel comed all new students to the University summer school in a brief orientation meeting held in Gerrard hall last night. At the same meeting Student Body President Jess Dedmond also made a short speech of-welcome which included brief in struction and indoctrination in the working of student govern ment here. Campus Code Tom Eller, past president of the student body, introduced the newcomers to the Campus Code, the University's unwritten law of conduct, and a short talk on the honor system was made by a member of the Honor Council. Following the hour-long orien tation program old students and new met each other at an open air dance at 9 o'clock in the Y court. Music for dancing was pro vided by Pianist Chic Burroughs' eight-piece orchestra which form erly played under the name of Jimmy Marshall's Carolinians. Coeds Meet New women students met in their dormitories after the dance last night for instruction concern ing social regulations. Coeds will meet again in the dormitories on Monday night to elect house presi dents, who will compose the Wo men's council during the summer. Previous orientation instruction was given 41 incoming freshmen on Wednesday morning when they met in Gerrard hall at 9 o'clock to hear a welcoming ad dress delivered by Dean Spruill and to meet their faculty ad visers.

Dewey Makes Pledges In Burlington Speech By Chuck Hauser Burlington, June 10 New York's Governor Thomas E. Dewey told a crowd of over 2,000 people here today that the Republicans "want to relieve Truman of all his problems" and predicted "the finest house-cleaning of left-wingers and fuzzy do-gooders that we've had in a long time." ; if' I THOMAS E. DEWEY. Rendezvous Room Opens Tomorrow The Rendezvous room, which has been closed since May 30, will re-open tomorrow evening, Graham Memorial director Bill Shuford announced yesterday.

He barely caught a glimpse of Chapel Hill out the window of his convertible, how- jever, as nis Id-car . motorcade whirled .through the University community about 11:15 this morning. One state highway patrol car preceded the caravan as it roared through Chapel Hill, but on the outskirts of Burlington, the local chief of police waited with motor running to lead the way into the town where the "next president of the United States," as he was introduced, was to speak. The motor parade pulled into downtown Burlington and stop ped.

They are going for a variety of purposes, from business and study to pure sight-seeing, and in a variety of ways, from airliner to cattle boat, but they all want to see gay Paris and the German beer gar dens. Peggy Ellis, graduate student from Rayville, La., and Erwin Danziger, rising junior from Chapel Hill, have each been ac cepted for one of the international holiday courses at a German uni versity operated by the Educa tional and Cultural Relations di vision of American military gov ernment. Peggy will be one of 100 Amer ican students studying at Uni versity of Munich under out urpnse 4 Fifty-Three Named To Run Orientation During Fall Quarter The names of 53 men who will serve as orientation counselors during the forthcoming fall ori entation were released yesterday by the Orientation committee. The men, who have been col lectively described by the com mittee as "the closest possible ap proach to a complete list of the top men on this campus," have been participating in a counsel or's training program for the past ten days. At two meetings and through the medium of an outline of the subject matter covered, they have been familiarized with the things which they are expected to trans mit to the incoming men. Reporting one week before the opening of school this fall, they will spend the next week on orientation. Each will be inden- tified by an armband with a C on it. According . to chairman Bill Miller of the Orientation commit tee, their response and interest thus far has been "heartening." Those selected are Herb Mitchell, Nat Williams, Don Evans, Nemo Nearman, Jim Gwynn, Bob Kirby, Tom Whar- (See COUNSELORS, page 4) Students Going Summer Months standing professors from Europe. tuuui uu (jeirrian siuacms wjii join the Americans in this three week course of study, aimed at fostering international under standing among university stu dents. Planning to sail from New York about the middle of June, Peggy will take a student ship operated by the Institute of International Education. On board, students will be given orientation courses in European customs by the American Friends Service com mittee. Although this is her first trip to Europe, it is not the first time Peggy has left the States, for during the war she worked with Civil Service in Hawaii. She took her undergraduate work at Louis iana State university, and has been doing graduate work in psy chology here. She is graduate counselor and assistant hostess for Alderman hall. speTOir eiraes Praises Dr. Graham For His Services To United Nations "What we might say here tonight would go all ar6und the world in 24 hours," Sec retary of State George C. Marshall told the class of 1943 in commencement exercises in Memorial hall Monday eve ning. For that reason, Marshall pointed out that he could not say anything definite on current issues. "They are either in such a delicate state of negotiation or in complete stalemate," he con tinued, "that it is inadvisable for me to engage in public discus sions, except in so far as may be necessary to keep the people of this country reasonably advised of the general situation." 1.300 Graduate The Secretary of State was a surprise speaker at the cere monies in which approximately 1,300 seniors received their di plomas from the University. Ar rangements were made last week for him to speak Monday night, but secrecy was maintained un til Monday morning when it was learned that he definitely would arrive. Marshall flew into the Chapel Hill airport about 4 o'clock Mon day afternoon, only a few hours after Secretary of the Army Ken neth C. Royall had landed at the Raleigh-Durham airport on his way here to receive an honorary degree. Graham Did Servict The Secretary of State ex plained that the reason he took time off from his official dutic3 to come to Chapel Hill to speak was the great service that Dr. Frank Graham, a personal friend of his, had done for his country. The speaker pointed out the need for more men like Dr. Graham to serve the government, partic ularly in relation to foreign af fairs. In his address, Marshall told the graduating class to avoid snap judgments in foreign prob lems. He advised the students to get at the "true facts" before making judgments on foreign af fairs, asserting that "we Amer icans are sometimes inclined to emotional reactions, which can be very dangerous in matters concerned with international re lationships." Keep Informed The speaker urged the students to keep informed on the United States' current role in world af fairs and declared that it takes more than "mere superficial reading of a single newspaper or listening to your favorite radio broadcaster .to get at the true facts." Dr. Frank Porter Graham rap ped the Mundt-Nixon Communist control bill in his address to the group Monday night. Graham said the answer to a digerence of opinion is "not de nunciation, not a concentration camp, not the Mundt-Nixon bill now pending in the Senat?. The answer to error is not terror but the cleansing power of light and liberty under the Bill of Rights and the Constitution of the United States," he declared. Confusion on Americanism The president of the Greater University went on to point out that there is much confusion to (See MARSHALL, page 4) DTH MEETING All students interested in working on the Daily Tar Heel during the summer are urged to attend a DTH staff meeting at 3 o'clock this afternoon in the DTH offices, second floor Graham Memorial. All regular or former staff members and all those interested in joining the staff are expected to be present. D
