By D WAYNE WALLS Many armchair educators have long declaimed the classics Greek and Latin primarily as dead or dying languages, but a nationally prominent UNC professor debunks any such demise. On the contrary, he has produc ed evidence that the two langu ages and related classics courses are at present enjoying an unpre cedented popularity in colleges and universities throughout the nation. Dr. B. L. Ullman, Kenan pro fessor of classical languages and literatures, said Greek and Latin are presently being taught to such an extent at the college level that colleges and universities all over the nation can not meet the demand for qualified instructors in the two subjects. He attributed the extreme short age of qualified instructors indi rectly to a revival of interest in the classics since World War II. Comparatively small teacher-producing classics departments, are not producing a sufficient number of graduates to feed back into the field as instructors, he said. Citing the situation at UNC as an example, Dr- Ullman said his department receives an annual de mand for college instructors . of Greek and Latin four to five times greater than the number of stu dents .leaving the University for classics' careers. HALF-DOZEN Dr. Ullman said the UNC Clas sics Dept., considered the out standing classics center of the South and one of the leading de partments nationally,- . produce? fewer than half a dozen qualified college instructors each year, yet his department has some 20 re quests on file for instructors for the coming school year. These requests, he said, came from leading institutions through out the nation, including such schools as Northwestern Universe ity, Pennsylvania State College. University of Texas, University of Coeds Start Sorority Activities With Tea Over 400 coeds flocked to Gra ham Memorial yesterday to start Rush Week activities with the Panhellenic Tea. Miss Isabelle McLeod, acting dean of women; Miss Lila Ponder, representative from the office of the dean of women; Mary Gillespie and Pat Dixon, president and vice president of the Panhellenic Council, along with sorority presi dents, greeted the coeds. Nan Brown, Stray Greek presi dent, directed the prospective so rority members to the guest book. Panhellenic representatives and rush chairmen served fruit punch, mints and cookies. The tea was the initial function in Rush Week activities that will keep the ladies on the run for the next 12 days. Monday and Tuesday nights co eds must attend three one-hour parties, 6:30-10 p.m. at the sorori ties. Ice water, the only refresh ment, will provide a break from the "fruit punch tradition" at UNC social functions. Three parties are scheduled for Wednesday and two for Thursday. Sunday is the next busy day with four 45-minute afternoon parties; Monday has three more of the same variety. Two dinner parties Wednesday and Thursday procede Bid Day. on Friday when coeds will receive their bids from sororities and wind up Rush Week activities. j Maryland, Brown University, Tu- lane University and Wayne Uni versity, as well as smaller schools. They range from instructorships to headship of a newly created de partment in a state university. All of the requests, he said, were received during the first six months of this year, and several of them came from institutions which have not previously offered classics study in their curricula, but are laying plans to install such departments as soon as qualified instructors can be obtained. Ullman said the number of qual ified instructors produced by his department each year usually two or three, and seldom more than half a dczen is about par for all institutions. This, he said, plus the fact that so many leading institutions are in need of instructors, indicates the problem is of nationwide pro portion and, in his opinion, grow ing worse with succeeding increas es in study body enrollment. Using the UNC department again to illustrate his theory, Dr. Ull man compared enrollment in the two languages before World War H with current figures. In 1935 the University had a relatively static enrollment of few er than 100 students in its Clas sics dept. By 1940 the figure had grown to 144, but declined during the war years to a low of 50 stu dents in 1945. ' STEADY CLIMB Following World , War H, clas sics enrollment at UNC began a steady climb which last year reach- Garbage Houses Are Up According to a survey completed yesterday, all the fraternity and sorority houses had completed the garbage houses that were tQ have been built by this year, with the exception of the Pi Beta Ph Soror ity. Their project is in the pro cess of being completed. Dr. O. David Garvin of the Dis trict Health Dept. issued a sanitat ion regulation last fall stating that all fraternity and sorority houses that served meals to their mem bers were to build fly-tigh houses in which to keep their garbage J cans. These houses were to have solid floors and drainage systems. When a survey was made last spring, approximately half the houses had completed the project. Of the 36 fraternities and sor orities in Chapel Hill, 32 serve meals. The four that don't serve meals are Alpha Kappa Psi, Delta Sigma Delta, Phi Delta Chi and Psi Omega. The Alpha Delta Pi Sorority hasn't built a garbage house yet, since it is preparing to move to a new location. ed more than three times the us ual pre-war figure. There were 319 students enrolled in the two lang uages, plus an equal number at tending classes on related classics study, such as archeology and lit erature courses. To teach these students, the Classics Dept. has six full time instructors and professors, plus four part-time instructors and 10 graduate students. According to Dr. Ullman, the rise of interest in classics actually began shortly before World War II, but dropped during the war and did not become generally notice able until the revival of interest following the war. He said it is difficult to single out any particular reason for the revival of interest, but summed it up generally with what he term ed "an awareness on the part of many Americans that our Western culture is a heritage from Greek and Roman civilizations." MOVIES He also said American movie makers are providing impetus to the movement with such movies as "'The Robe" and "Quo Vadis," which have Roman or classical background stimulating public in terest in old Western European customs. Some students, he conceded, take classics courses in lieu of mathe matics, then develop a genuine interest in the courses, and con tinue through advanced study. Dr. Ullman offered no immedi ate solution to the shortage ' of classics instructors, but he noted that increased funds for fellow ships would greatly alleviate the situation and would provide the foundation for a gradual increase in the size of classics departments and the number of instructors pro duced. , There are many students who would continue classics careers af ter completion of undergraduate work, he said, if more financial aid were made available to them for continuing advanced study. He noted that classics instruc tors generally must process one or more advanced degrees to qual ify for college level teaching. "To produce more teachers, we must have graduate students," he said. "And to get graduate stu dents, we must have fellowships and scholarships to offer them." STUDENTS LOOK AT PRICE TAG How do UNC students meet their books? With reverence and awe do they humbly ap proach the seat of knowledge? Eager scholars at the BoGker teria flipped to the price first. Cash registers were ringing and fountain pens were leaking on check books. Talk was loud, but a few persons were merely standing with vacant eyes. A sophomore was gripeing about a V inch book for $2.35. "All the books are higher this year," he wisely and uncalmly said. Two freshmen were talking to each other. "Got to get a Caro lina sticker when I go home to put all over the car." The other one answered, "When I go home I've got to get some money. Elmer Oakley, manager of the Bookerteria, . commented about business: "Pretty good so far; heavier than last year. No I couldn't give you an estimate of the to tal intake within 10,000 dol lars." He said books are sold all during the year, both novels and texts. He said quite a few students put off buying books until they have to, and many are sold right before exams. UNC Glee Club Officers Meet In Graham The officers of the Men's Glee Club met at Graham Memorial Thursday, President James Cham blee, presiding, and discussed the plans for the coming year includ ing setting the date for the ma jor tour of the year for March C, 1956.

Approximately 1,500 People Dance At Annual Coed Ball Approximately 1,500 people attended the 1955 Coed Ball, held in Woollen Gymnasium Friday night from 9 until midnight. The ball was sponsored by the Orientation Committee under the direction of Burt Veazey; The Duke Ambassadors supplied the music for the three-hour affair, and cokes and candy were supplied as refreshments.
