Chambers Tells Hardships
In Editing 1914 Tar Heel
By Mary Hill Gaston
- No typewriters,, no linotype ma
chines and worst of all, no crossword
pUzzles but Lenoir Chambers still
managed to put out a Tar Heel once
a week back in 1914. Thirty-one
years later he's still putting out a
newspaper, the Norfolk, Va., Ledger
Dispatch. That's the beginning and up to the
present in the journalistic history of
Lenoir Chambers, class of '14, one of
the many Tar Heel staff men who went
right on up.
Chambers didn't even have an office
to work in. He had a dozen or so re
porters and a managing editor who
all congregated down at the University
Printing Shop, located somewhere
near the present site of Peabody Hall,
handed in their copy in longhand, and
watched the typesetters put their
news in' shape for the press. Hand
written, hand-set and printed on a
press fed by hand, but a four-page Tar
Heel came out at the end "of every
week. , "
Sponsored by Sportsmen
The paper was the organ of the
Athletic Association then, and Cham
hprs was elected editor by vote of dues-

High Competition
In Farming, Says
CPU Speaker Here
J. B. Slack, Regional Director of the
Farm Security Administration, told
members of - the Carolina Political
Union at the weekly , meeting Sunday
night in the Grail Room that farming
in America today is a. highly competi
tive enterprise.
Mr. Slack's appearance inaugurated
the CPU's speaker-presentation series
for the 1946 program. The FSA official,
whose regional office is in Raleigh, has
been director of the administration,
which includes North Carolina, Vir
ginia, Kentucky and Tennessee, for
several years.
After Mr. Slack concluded his
speech, the forum was thrown open to
a roundtable discussion, in which he
cleared up several technicalities aboit
farming for the city-bred members of
the Union.
TH, he can't quite recall, but it seems
the Athletic Association was respon
sible for the founding of the paper
long about 1892.
Chambers remembers writing an
editorial on the 21st birthday of the
Tar Heel, plus a lot of editorials
through the year about gambling,
which seemed to have been quite the
sport in '13-'14. Carolina's 900 stu
dents began curbing their bones-rolling
activities after a number of investi
gations backed by the Tar Heel.
The paper didn't boast many pic
tures then, due to high engraving
costs, but it did have a lot of adver
tising. The business manager, to
use the words of Mr. Chambers,
"cleaned up."
First Basketball Captain
The Tar Heel didn't take all the
time of its editor. Chambers played
football, tennis and basketball, "but
not very well," he says. Basketball
took its place among Carolina's major
sports while he was here, and he was
first captain of the team.
On the social side of his Carolina
activities ledger was membership in
Sigma Alpha Epsilon. Chambers'
step-son, Bob Glenn, Class of '43, is
an SAE too, and is the reason behind

Widely Sought By
Record Companies
Bobby Sherwood, the popular young
maestro who brings his orchestra to
Carolina on November 23, is widely
known in music circles as one of the
leading instrumentalists in the country
and is sought by the movie studios and
recording companies for the use of
his talents.
Unanimously hailed as one of the
ace guitarists in the land, Bobby plays
the trumpet with equal dexterity and
disnlavs Dleasinsf voice1 in singing. Be
fore forming his orchestra Bobby was
under contract as guitarist at MGM
Studios for five years, providing
strumming for many of the biggest
stars in the entertainment world.
Attained Fame
He formed a small string orchestra
which played in Hollywood and the
Palace Theatre in San Francisco and
which rapidly attained great popu
larity because of Bobby's expert
musicianship and arrangemnet fea
tures. Enlarging his band to full size,
he soon shot up to success on the coast
and then brought his orchestra East.
Top Notch Arranger
As an arranger, Bobby ranks at the
top. He has made numerous special ar
rangements for Artie Shaw, Benny
Goodman and Dave Rose. He and his
orchestra accompanied Judy Garland
on her last group of Decca recordings
and Bobby did most of her arrange
ments. Bobby's voice, guitar and trumphet
have been heard on the Burns and Allen
show, the Woodbury program and the
Eddie Cantor program. He has ap
peared as guest artist with Rudy Val
lee and the Lennie Hayton Lucky
Strike show.
Attention Bobby Soxers
According to publicity releases,
Bobby Sherwood is six feet tall, weighs
165 pounds and has blue eyes. It is
said that he is the slightly shy college
type that "gets the girls falling al over
themselves." The reaction of Carolina
coeds to the Sherwood charm is to be
awaited.

Big Pep Rally
For Duke Tilt
Slated Friday
Dick Jente, president of the Uni
versity Club, has announced the plans
for the giant Duke pep rally to be
held at Fetzer Field Friday night.
A torchlight parade, with the band
and the cheerleaders on hand, will
begin the proceedings. The parade
wil start at the Y court, leave there
at 7:30 p. m., go by Fraternity Court,
down Franklin Street, pass the girls'
dorms and the lower quadrangle, and
on to Fetzer Field where the pep
rally will begin. .
Speakers Slated
A big bonfire is planned for the
rally. The speakers will include Chan
cellor House, Coach Snavely, Con
troller Carmichael, and "the most
indispensable man on the Carolina
team," Morris Mason, who has been
the team's water-boy for over 20
years.
To Judge Posters
Jente announced that "Beat Dook"
posters will be carried in the parade.
The posters will be judged during the
parade and the presentation of the
PiKA cup for the best poster will be
awarded at the pep rally.
The two rules for having posters
in the contest are: (1) that no iden
tification of the organization can be
on the poster, and (2) that all en
tries must be told to Dean Mackie be
fore Thursday, November 22, in his
office at South Building. Jente said
any organization is eligible to enter
a poster in the contest.
In case of rain, the pep rally will
be held in Memorial Hall.
Doug Hume, Heading
Playmaker Casting,
Is Polished Actor
When professor turns archbishop,
especially when he is the suave Doug
las Hume, who in the leading role of
"Murder in the Cathedral" must make
the drastic decision of joining the
King as Chancellor, returning to his
former state, joining the barons
against the King, or having himself
killed as a martyr, then poetic drama
becomes exciting.
Tiio fast includes James Kilev as
the First Priest, James Crutchfield as
the Second Priest, and Wayne Bow
man as the Third Priest. A minor
role that promises to lend a touch of
human interest to the play is that of
the herald played by James Geiger.
Studied Here
Douglas Hume, having received his
M.A. here at Carolina, is with the
First Theatre at Monterey, Califor
nia, and among his performances was
the role of Dion Bouicault in Streets
of New York, appearing fifteen times.
He played in Oscar Wild's Importance
of Being Ernest, Yeoman of the
Guard, Twilight Zone, Winter's Tale,
and Midsummer Night's Dream.
Mr. Hume, whose smooth exterior
and piercing eyes make him an out
standing person in any group, has
proved his ability by his four success
ful years with Carolina's Playmakers
and by his productions of the Eve
of Saint Mark and the Boss of Bar
Z, he has proved himself a competent
director. 1
Perhaps the secret of Mr. Hume's
versatility is that he keeps himself so
completely hidden that his own per
sonality may well take the part of al
most any role. When not on the stage
he leaves us aware of his almost
classical features, his cultured speech
and his poise.
Vance and Walker will address all
interested members of the student
body tonight at 7:30 p.m. in Gerrard
Hall in a program sponsored by the
Tar Heel Institute of Public Affairs.
Same Polls
Charles Fulton, chairman of the
election committee of the student legis
lature, has announced that the polling
places for tomorrows runo'ff presiden
tial election will be in the same places
as they were for last Thursday's ballot
ing. They will also be open at the same
times as last week.
Although Vance received a plurali
ty of more than 200 votes in the regular
election, the runoff was made neces
sary because he did not receive a ma
jority of all the votes cast. All indi
cations point to a very close race.
Pannill Statement
Chairman Allan Pannill of the Uni
versity Party has issued the following
statement. "We greatly appreciate the
support given by the students to our
candidate, Charlie Vance, in last
Thursday's election. We cannot stress
too heavily the importance of choosing
a good man to be the head of Caro
lina's student government. We feel
certain that we have the best quali
fied man for that office. It is in this
light that we urge your continued sup
port of Charlie. Regardless of whom
you are going to vote for, we hope all
students will exercise their privilege
of voting Wednesday."
A. B. Smith, leader of the group
backing Bill Walker, stated the follow-
ing: I want to take tnis opportunity
to thank all the students who support
ed Bill Walker at the polls last Thurs
day. We made an excellent showing in
the face of strong party oposition. The
the face of strong party opposition.
The fact that we are now engaged in
a runoff election proves that an inde
pendent movement is well on the way
towards the goal of providing Caro
lina with her. first student body presi
dent unbacked by political machines.
Best Man
Those of us whom Bill has asked to
head his campaign still feel that we
are backing the best possible man for
the job a man who has the necessary
interest in student affairs, ability to
perform his task and drive and in
dustry to cary out his program. We
hope that all those who have supported
Bill will continue to do so, and we
welcome the additional support of any
students who would like to see an ad
ministration that will have as its sole
directing influence the welfare of the
