tatistics Sh lave Churci By JACKIE S Contrary to the usual belie group of irreligious, irreverE people, a recent report from Ch that 96.87% of the students I with some church. The Baptist and the Methodist churches lead with the greatest student membership. Out of the 3796 students here, 32.4 per cent belong to the Baptist churches and 26.5 per cent to the Methodist churches. The Presbyterian with 459, the Episcopal with 272, the Lutheran with 261, the Roman Catholic with 188, and the Hebrew with 74 are the next highest in student membership. The number of the remaining students and which church they attend is as follows: Associate Re formed Presbyterian, 27; Greek Orthodox Catholic, 25; Christian, 22; Christian Scientist, 8; Church of Christ, 5; Church of the Latter Day Saints, 5; Pentecostal Holi ness, 4; Congregational, 3; Re formed, 2; Central Union Church, 2; Unitarian, 2; and other churches, 84. - The final count leaves 119 who have no church affiliation. The list of these figures and the names of the various students has been sent to the churches con cerned. With the cooperation of the churches and the religious groups on the campus, it is hoped that the figure of 119 will be reduced even more. NROTC Command Shore Assignment By BARBARA McSWAIN Cmdr. J. C. Spencer of the NROTC says that his part in the war was minor but he would draw argument from people who know. He was serving on the "USS Oklahoma" at Pearl Harbor when the Japanese attacked. He re mained on the "Oklahoma" until May of 1942 when he was given command of a sub-chaser in the Carribean.

(1 1uropean Picks A ixaminations As I )f Two Evils In 1 3y WOLFGANG REINBACHER Surprisingly fast the time for fd-term exams rolled around, and he first of these professorial abits has already caught me. A ttle blue book was slapped down i front of me, and in fifteen min tes I tried to write down every hing I know, from Adam and Eve D now. Until I receive the mark made on this quiz, I shall con inue to enjoy the University life ere. But come to think of it, if you o 'your studying all along the ourse, these exams are not too ad. I recall with horror my semi inal examinations at Frankfurt Tniversity. From 8 to 12 I sat ehind a desk, trying to figure out ie one question that was given for ,ie essay. If the professor can ike his first pick of questions rom the whole material covered in vo or even three semesters, only lenty of work' before exams can ive you a. reasonable chance to irvive. In the average, even if e study as the course goes along, ree weeks of intensive recapitu tion are considered the minimum you want to pass the exam with mark you can show your father ithout being disgracefully wiped 'f the family roster. By no means however do I want give the impressions, that exams rer here are too easy, and I put plenty of time, particularly since je to some mistake all the books -e written in English. No matter >w much my roommates curse the Lte encountered during examina uns, I find this system as corn iredl to ours the lesser of two rils. WVhen I saidl last week, that life the campusLI gives the studlents feeling of companionship, I must Id to this, that the small classes ulp, too. Within a relatively short rViodl one gets to knowv the other assmates, and maybe their mates, idl thus a stranger soon looses the eling of being alone. With class attendance at an lerage of 150-300 students, the mance to make acquaintances is rnitedl. There you have little mance of comparing notes or udying together with several stu mnts who hear the same lecture, id copying your Ihomework from me same feller all the time, leaves ur education one-sided. Well, this has been a lot on a 'rious subject, and I just re embered something 'else. Completely new to a European. re the Cafeterias.

' Student Council Corner tI By BARBARA McSWAIN - Homecoming elections will be N teld Wednesday, Nov. 16, student it :ouncil decided at its third meet ng of the year Oct. 27. Any coed t1 it Carolina will be eligible. a To be nominated a girl's name C, nust be submitted, with a mini- st mum of 20 signatures, to George B Wright, president of student B !ouncil, or Charles Goforth, head a )f elections. This petition must be L iubmitted by 12 noon on Nov. 12. The girl receiving the most votes V becomes queen, the girl receiving the next highest number will be cl maid-of-honor, and the next two c girls will be attendants. These four d girls will be presented at the c homecoming game against Wake al Forest Nov. 26. a Student council decided on this a] rew method of election in order 43 to eliminate the emphasis on class 11 listinctions that the old home- b :oming elections increased. For- - nerly the nominations were made ir by each class at class meetings and the school voted on the four nom inees. ir The YM-YWCA has asked stu- n lent council to scfnd a delegation U 'o Admiral Smith to try to re- G ctivate the student assembly com i%ittee which was active until last ear. Its function was to arrange 'or student assemblies once or 'wice a week. George Wright and Jim Thomson will ask the Admiral About this dommittee. The iaw school held A separate lectionl to fill its vacancy on stu jent council. Charles Goforth, who planned the student council elec lions held Oct. 27, questioned the law school's right to take matters in its own hands. The council de !ided that it would have been a !ourtesy on the part of the law school to notify the president, but .t was a misunderstanding on its jart rather than an intentional )reach of the constitution. The social committee will be ap )ointed at the ne~xt meeting next week.
