V'-i hi' ' J- Freshmen got to know their University chief at Freshmen Camp. Students Bill Durham, Winston-Salem; Lionel Martin, Durham, and Counselor Billy talking with Dean of Student Freshman Foir First - By ED CRUTCHFIELD A group, some 180 strong, began assembling in front of the University YMCA shortly after noon last Sept. 6 to take on a venture established by the Y as Freshman Camp. The four day session was held at Camp New Hope, eight, miles north of Chapel Hill,, with rising jun ior Jim Turner as Director. The atmosphere of the stay at New Hope quickly dispelled the initial feeling of being lost as every camper shook hands and made friends with each passing minute. The singing of our national anthem, "Dixie," even brought smiles to our Yankee friends who have final ly admitted that there is noth ing like the South, especially Chapel Hill. Some of the things which proved to be invaluable at camp were sportsmanship, friendship, group discussions and the overall picture of the opportunities before us at Car olina. Under the leadership of Larry Ford, a keen spirit of competition between cabins was aroused in all sports, ranging from volleyball to swimming. As in every group nicknames are found and the ones which stood out most were Itchy, Chuck, Tank and Red. Many members of the faculty visited camp along with student BMOC. In the group discussions topics discussed varied, with the most outstanding ones being on fra ternities, studies, Uncle Sam and co-eds. Among the now present "Carolina Gentlemen" were upperclassmen who served as counselers, each being most helpful whenever needed. Many amusing incidents oc curred but the one most suited for print oencerned Manning Mantzing, chief of the Inter Dormitory Council. It seems that Manning went to his cabin rather early on Thursday morn ing ' (3 a.m. to be exact) only to find all of his belongings strung in all parts of the cabin and elsewhere. Camper Hoke Huss drew acclaim with his va riation of the "dirty shag." An impressive part of camp came music-wise as Scotty Hes ter strengthened the spirit of fellowship, leading a group that had never been together in singing many of Carolina's fa vorite songs?, including the "Dook" song. Those attending felt that Carolina Quarterly Anyone interested in work ing for the Carolina Quarterly should come to the Quarterly office in Graham Memorial today at 3 p. m. for a staff meeting.

The budget was presented by the North Carolina Radio and Television Commission. Irving Carlyle of Winston-Salem com mission chairman, requested $220,650 for each year of the oiennium.

A TV building is 85 per cent complete at State College, the Budget Commission was told, and facilities at Wo man's College and the University of North Carolina are being con verted into TV studios. Carlye expressed the opinion that the agricultural programa alone would "more than pay for all that North Carolina invests in ;he program."

The station expects to begin operations th last of October or. early in November.

Dr. Coy C. Carpenter, dean of the Bowman Gray School of Medicine of the college, made the principal address at a morning convocation. He told over 1,500 students and faculty members that the- college's move to Winston-Salem will be one of the greatest things to happen to the school. Doctor Welt Gives Lecture Caution against overemphasis of the so-called "practical" phil osophy in general medical train ing was sounded by Dr. Louis G. Welt, who delivered the an nual fall Whitehead Soicety Lec ture this week to medical stu dents here. Dr. Welt, who is associate pro fessor of Medicine, UNC Medical School, presented an address on "The Student's Contribution to Education." "The philosophy of practicality takes the view that training of a physician should be limited to those items which can be clearly characterized as having immedi ate values in the management of the ill," Dr. Welt said. Overemphasis on "facts" and techniques, and underemphasis on broad general principles, he continued, "is an anti-intellectual atitude and can hardly serve to foster a spirit of scholarship. "With the 'practical' approach, there is the inherent danger that the student will consider the bas ic sciences as a hurdle in his path to the bedside, rather than as the very important sub-strata upon which his cllniscal exper ience mus be imposed, if the latter is to have any lasting sig nificance." Dr. Welt advised the new stu dents to "listen and read atten tively, not to mistake authority for truth and not to submit to authority in lieu of a more ra tional explanation of conflicting data." A reception followed the ad dress with medical students, fa culty and other friends attending. The Whitehead Lecfture was the final event in a two-day ori entation program for the School of Medicine's incoming students. First-year students were wel comed Tuesday by Dean W. Reece Berryhill at an assembly. Wednesday morning was de voted to tours of various de partments and groups meetings.

Although the j open houses were designed pri- j marily for the freshmen, most of Carolina's trouser-clad popula- j tion attended. And since turn about is fair play, coeds were honored Thursday night at the Phi Kappa Sigma open house. All new coeds were cordial ly invited to attend the affair, which was held in the chapter house on Cameron Avenue, last night from 7 until 10 p.m. As a final note, here is another of the many welcomes to the new coed, a special welcome to Carolina's social swirl. And old j coeds, take heart. Won't be long j before they remember that we're J still here! ( . j The University of North Caro lina officially began its lGlst year yesterday morning at 10 minutes of eight o'clock when the first class bell rang. Total enrollment figures have n't been compiled yet, but close to 6,000 students were expected to register. This would not be a new attendance record, however. 7,600 students enrolled in 1943 to set the high record. About 220 upperclassmen and coeds returned to the campus early to assist in counseling new students as they were introduced to college life. After several days of testing, physical examinations and assem blies, approximately 1,100 fresh men were registered Monday for their first semester's wok. Registation continued Tuesday and Wednesday for transfer students and othei-s not pre-reg-istered. Classwork in all depart ments got underway yesterday morning. HOUSING University Housing Officer, James Wadsworth, said yester day that the campus housing sit uation this year is "good." "All the dorms are full," he said, "nine of them have three men to the room, but there are only about 40 men living tem porarily in the basement of Cobb." Wadsworth said that the men in Cobb basement seemed pleased with their temporary quarters which the University gives them tree of charge. Most of them are old students who failed to re serve a room before leaving school last year, he said. The only problem we have had so far," he continued, "is one of a few students' changing their dorm room without being autho rized by the Housing Office." He reminded dorm residents that this is an infraction of the University's housing rules and could result in a student's being moved out of a dorm. Wadsworth also said there are several rooms for students listed in his office in private Chapel Hill homes. A student wanting a room in a private home can check with the Housing Office in those available, he said.
