Chapel Hill and Carrboro are
canvassed for financial aid by
practically every school, church,

Expected Enrolment

"The applications so far in in
dicate that the University en-
rollment next fall win be 1900
or over" said Roy Armstrong,
director of admissions, yester-
day.
"And we're going to have q
serious housing problem again.
We have taken down Quonset
huts with $50 roomers to make
way for the new dormitory, but
that dormitory will not be ready
for occupancy for another year.
And the Miller barracks on Pitts
boro street, which holds about
100 students, is going to be
taken over for the administra-
tive offices Of the new school
of dentistry"
Fifty students or more may
be put in the Easements Of the
new dormitories opposite the
gym, but that will be making up
only small part Of the loss of
other quarters.
In all the dormitories, wom-
ems as well as mems. rooms in
which there should be only two

Power Plant Besins Using Oil
Because Of Scarcity OF Coal;

Stoker Coal by Hand-Screenins

The University power plant,
which supplies electric current
for the whole Chapel Hill Com
munity, has been forced by the
scarcity of coal to take to the
use of oil for fuel.
Two truckloads of oil, holding,
both together, 5000 gallons,
are brought to the plant from
Greensboro every day.
Coal has not been superseded
entirely. One third of the normal
daily consumption Of rs tons is
still being used.
Eight thousand gallons of
oil is equivalent, in the produc-
tor of heat under the boilers, to
two thirds of the coal we were
using said j. S. Bennett, the

Rules about Soliciting Are frightened After
Homes Are Visited by Rude Magazine Agents

Chapel Hill is again being
subjected to door-to-door maga-
zine subscription solicitors. A
crowd of these pests recently
descended upon the village and
acted with more rudeness and
persistence than usual. Their
tactics were to get inside a
house and refuse to leave till
they had made a sale, especially
If no men were at home. At
least one householder had to call
the police to have 3 solicitor
elected.
Complaints about this situa-
tion we're discussed Monday at
a meeting Of the Chapel Hill
Carrboro Merchants Associa-
tion, and it was decided to
strengthen the organizations S

University Lake
Z Fiislhins Season
To Open Today

The fishing season at the Uni
versity lake tout beyond Carr
boro, about 3 miles from the
middle of Chapel Hill) will open
at noon today friday.
Results on a recent test-day
at the lake indicate that the fish
ing is going to be good. Brodie
Clark caught a 912-pound bass,
and there were other good
catches on the same day.
The lake, which is the reser-
voir for the community's water
supply, was well stocked with
fish years ago when it was Great
ed by the building of a dam
across Morgan creek. Most of
the fish are bass, crappie, and
Dream. Bass are the variety that
the fishermen go for most
eagerly, because they are the
largest and put up the most
spirited fight. Also, in most peo-
pies opinion, they are better
eating.
G. E. Vashaw, executive of
ficer of the local Izaak Walton
club, is in charge of all arrange
ments. He is at the Service
Plants office on Franklin street.
There is no fishing from the
bank at the lake. All fishing
must be from boats. The rental
of boat for half a day is so
cents, and the fee for each per-
son in the boat is 80 cents. Thus,
if two persons 60 fishing to-
gether, the total charge for the
halliday is $1.50.
The hours are from IL noon
to sunset six days week. There
is no fishing on Sunday.
Anybody who wants to may
attach an outhoard motor to the
boat he rents.
There are eight boats on hand
now, and there are expected to
be six more soon. There is no
formality about renting a boat.
You simply tell the man on duty
at the lake that you want one.
He accepts your money, points
to one of the boats tethered to
the pier and says, There it is.

Chapel Hill Chaf

Is there division by sexes
on the question of the merit of
candlelight for eating? ! haven't
taken a nationwide or a state
wide or even a town-wide poll on
the subject, but my observation
is~that women are much more
fond of lighting a dining-room
table with candles than men are.
In fact, from the expressions of
opinion that / have heard, /
conclude that men are strongly
against it. This, ! suppose, is be-
cause they are more brute
natured, less capable of appre-
ciating the elegances of civiliza-
tion, than women are.
Somehow we got on this SUBJ
ject when the Lewis Pattons
came over from Durham last
Sunday. | recalled the time when,
at a dinner in the Summerlin
home, Mrs. Summerlin (having
heard that | considered candle
light too dim) put a flashlight
beside my plate. She neglected
to inform the family's manser-
want about this, and when he
passed dish around and |
turned the flashlight on it to
see what it contained, he was so
astonished that he almost
dropped it.
MRS. Patton told the company
that her father, the late Robert
L. Gray, detested candlelight at
the dinner table. Once, when
she asked him why, he said that
he had hated it ever since, when
eating scuppernong grapes by
candlelight, he had eaten q june
bug by mistake.
When | was talking to Grady
Pritchard last week about his
taking over the management Of
The Strowd Motor Company, he
spoke Of how few persons there
were in business in Chapel Hill
now who had grown up here.
Those we thought Of at the mo-
ment were Bruce Strowd, Collier
Cobb, Clarence Pickard, Bob

HAMHUNG HUN GNAM
BEACHHEAD. Northeast Korea
Delayed - Withdrawal was in
process when I arrived from Seoul
Sunday. December 10, I believe
it was. Some heavy equipment
was being loaded. Marines were
still fighting out of the Changjin
trap.
On Monday the Marines cleared
into the perimeter and began en-
barking. On that and the follow
ing day Task Force Meade and
other Army units along the road
to Changjin began withdrawing
back into the perimeter. which at
that time extended from Hung
nam to the vicinity of Majon.
On Thursday the Marines had
graveside ceremony in a muddy
little graveyard between Hamhung
and Hungnam. The Marine divi-
sion went aboard. That night,
under a few arc lights that threw
a weird illumination on the scene,
the first Marines-parka-c clad and
carrying weapons and great humps
of barracks bags-trudged through
the mud around Hungnam port
and boarded.
Army Remained on Beach.
Every one here was happy to
see the Marines get off safely for
they'd had plenty. But there were
few who didn't wish some Marines
were left around to cover the
evacuation of what was still on
the beach-the Sd and 7th Divi-
sions, Army.
On Friday the first elements of
the 7th Division began embarking
and the great parade of men, We
hicles. jeeps, trucks, tanks, every
thing began. The line crawled
along the Hamhung Hungnam
road to the sea. The military
evacuees were mingled with refu-
gees who were trying to work their
way into the perimeter. I don't
know how the latter kept coming.
They knew damned we'll we were
leaving and couldn't take them
all with us. Maybe every person
thought he might be the one who
could get aboard a ship. And
some of them did.
So many South Korean soldiers,
women and civilians climbed
aboard one LIST Qanding ship,

begged down on the harbor mud
and some of the load had to be
cleared off.
Withdrawal Forced.
1t seemed when the evacuation
first started we might have suff1-
cient time to get off before the
Chinese Communist forces hit us.
On Thursday night and Friday
the Chinese Communists showed
up. On Friday, Reds in small num-
bers. possibly regiment in all,
broke through the mountains that
had been our natural perimeter
all around the Hamhung- Hung
nam fats. They did not break
through our defense perimeter but

Uneose, Not Panic, at Hungnom

their attacks forced withdrawal
and shortening of the lines.
The big threat was their getting
out of the mountains and onto
the fats.
If they broke through the line
now they would be practically in
our laps. Hamhung and Hungnam
would be endangered. Yorpo air
field (scene of an enormous evac-
uation airlift) would not be much
good if guys were shooting it up.
Navy Fire Opened on 18th.
So the evacuation proper seemed
to take on little more speed. The
public information officer. for ex-
ample. began packing. Units in
the 10th Corps hastened their de-
parture. The demolitions began
going off in earnest. The night
of Friday the 18th the Navy, which
had said earlier it was ready for
any eventuality" began firing over
the perimeter.
Friday was a gray murky day
I would have guessed few planes
could get through. Nevertheless
the Marines and Air Force banged
in over 300 missions, minority
of which were close support. The
weather and atmosphere gener-
ally were gray. which didn't do Q
lot to raise spirits.
Nevertheless, the operation con-
tinued orderly. There was un-
ease-not quite tension, although
every one was a little more on
the balls of his feet than two days
earlier. But no panic.
1t reminded me of the situation
around Pyongyang the last couple
OF days when every one was get
ting to hell out of there, but doing
it without crawling up some one
else's back.
Almond Reported Confident.
But you could feel the fear that
the Chinese Communists might
break through and the fear if
that happened panic would de-
velop and the beach become a
madhouse. Opinion varied. A
fellow who talked with Maj. Gen.
Edward M. Almond, 10th Corps
commander. said the latter seemed
confident he would get out all
right.
There was the usual: Demolition
fires leaping at night closer
hourly to the port, Navy warships
ganging way, conclusion rattling
the windows in the 10th Corps
command post. transports droning
in and out of Yonpo through gray
days and dark nights, North Ko-
rean civilians scrambling for the
food the Army gave away as the
evacuation went on, thin-legged.

the beachhead area, they set up a

liberately reduced in size day-by-
day as more and more men
boarded ships.
Reds Watch From Hills.
Associated Press Correspondent
Stan Swinton, one of the last to
leave burning Hungnam, reported
that Communist patrols watched
from nearby hills without firing a
shot as amphibious tractors
hustled United States Sd Division
rearguards off the beach.
"Dungaree- clad navy demolition
experts blew up Hungnam's port
in an awesome demolition" Mr..
Swinton added.
"Hungnam was no Dunkerque.
While the vanguard of 13 COM
munist divisions paved ineffec-
lively, the beachhead was stripped
bare of men, equipment and
supplies in two methodical weeks
of night and day labor.
Associated Press Correspondent
Tom Lambert, in a delayed dis
patch, reported that a Red pla-
toon tried to hit the eastern sector
of the beachead early yesterday.
The platoon retreated under
United States artillery fire.
Soldiers and sailors working
along the seashore could plainly
see airmen working over the near

Teaming up for the big job
were ships of Canada, Norway,

Hailed by Macarthur.
When it was finished, Gen.

ton Collins, United States Army
Chief of Staff:
The news of the completion
of the operations at Hungnam is
particularly welcome at Christ
mas time. 1t brings relief and
cheer fol the magnificent achieve
ments at Hungnam."
The Marines had word, too,
particularly about their bitter re-
treat from the Changjin ReSer-
voir. Maj. Gen. Oliver P. Smith,
commander of the 1st Marine
Division, told Associated Press
Correspondent Jack Macbeth the
morale of his men was high and
added:
But they're still mad. They
don't like being pushed around.
I still don't know what we will
be. called on to do next, but I'll
tell you this, they won't be pushed
around by the chinese, North
Koreans or anyone else"
In West Central Korea, there
were multiplying signs of Chinese
