Smith Requests
Paving of Walks
A request that sidewalks in Chapel
Hill be paved was made to the Chapel
Hill Board of Aldermen by E. Car
rington Smith last Monday night.
Sections from the Town Hall to the
Carolina Inn and on both sides of
Franklin street from Hillsboro street
in the east to the new stores on West
Franklin street .were emphasized in
the appeal. According to Mr. Smith,
the dust and dirt tracked into the
stores makes for a very unsanitary
condition. Also the sand and gravel
is ruining the floors and carpets in
sope establishments.
Smith contended that the initial cost
of paved sidewalks would be offset by
the savins in maintenance costs. The
Aldermen talked of paving sidewalks
in all of Chapel Hill but the lack of
funds prevents any action beyond the
talking stage.

The candidates, one from each sor
ority and girls' dormitory, will pa

ensuing wolf calls. The lucky girl

"If you're a wolf, then be proud,
and bring your most varied assort
ment of wolf calls and low, lingering
whistles," says Martha Rice, Graham
Memorial's director, "for the volume
of yells and whistles will help the
judges determine who will be the
'Hubba Hubba' Girl.
"'Pokey' Alexander, president of
Sound and Fury, and Bob Colepaugh,
ROTC and cheesecake photographer,
have consented to help select the Hub
ba Girl," Miss Rice added. It is hoped
that a representative of the art de
partment and, best of all, the anatomy
section, will be among the judges.
Decorations will be entirely in the
"wolf" theme, carrying out a motif
combining Sansone's "Wolf" cartoons,
Caniff's "Miss Lace" and Varga's cal
endar girls.
Director Rice announced that the
Hubba Hubba Hop will begin at 8 :30

Editor Is Needed
For New Handbook
All girls interested in editing the
Woman's Handbook to be distributed
to prospective Carolina coeds are
urged to write a letter of applica
tion to the Coed Senate, addressed to
Speaker Lib Schofield, 315 Mclver.
Letters should contain the appli
cant's qualifications for the post, her
extracurricular interests and reasons
why she would like to edit the handbook.
Applications must be received by
Speaker Schofield by Tuesday, Janu
ary 29, the date of the next Senate
meeting. All girls who apply are
asked to be present at the meeting that
night, when selection of the editor will
be made.

will be set up to remind all students
to say "Hey" and get acquainted. Each
student will be given a lapel ticket in
the lobby of the "Y" this morning,
which they are asked to wear all day.
0$ the cards is printed the password
of the day, "Hey, how U?"
The public address system in Le
noir Hall will also be utilized to
spread the good word of the day.
Speaking for the Valkyries, presi
dent of the order, Dot Phillips stated,
"With nine hundred new students on
the campus every old student should
make a special effort to make their
fellow students feel at home. Our at
tention has been brought to the fact
that lately there has been a definite
decline in the. traditional Carolina
spirit of friendliness. In the past
when there were a large number of
new students on the campus, the
Valkyries sponsored "Hello Week," the
last one being in the spring of 1943.
It was decided that the Valkyries and
the Grail would concentrate their ef
forts to revive a feeling of unity and
friendliness among the students."
Delegata of the Grail, Archie Hood,
asked that the students cooperate in
making the day a success and said fur
ther, "Our purpose is not merely to
make students say 'Hey' for a day,
but to make friendliness and getting
acquainted a permanent feature of
our campus. .

Weather Makes Delay
In Laundry Schedule
Students are urged not to come by
the University laundry office or plant
for the time being to try and pick up
their laundry because the delivery
system will only be hampered that
much more, J. S. Bennett, supervisor
of operations for the University, said
yesterday.
Due to a combination of circum
stances, shortage of labor, prevailing
weather conditions, and the necessity
of marking all the clothing of new
students, deliveries have been delayed
but th laundry will be back on its
regular pickup and delivery schedule
within a few days, Bennett said.
