Valkyries, the "highest honorary organization for women on the campus, bases the selection of its members upon character, scholarship, leadership, unselfish service and sound judgment. In a significant pre-dawn ceremony these girls were, ini tiated into the order: top row, right to left, Linda Nobles, Ida Prince, Mary Hill Gaston; middle row, Gerry Smith, Dot Gustafson, Linda Cobb; bottom row, Elizabeth WorraL Lillian Leonhard, and "Twig" Branch. VINSON (Continued from first page) box for a safe hit, which got him to first base. The second man walloped the first ball down past third base for the . second hit. The third man up bunted the first ball for a hit, putting three men on base. The clean-up man knocked the first ball for a line drive to the shortstop, who snatched it up, stepped on second base, threw it to first, and the first baseman heaved it to the catcher, who got the man com ing in from third for a triple play. All in all, there, were four pitched balls, three outs, and a triple play, a record in baseball history. Inciden tally, Frank Graham was on the Caro lina team at the time, but he didn't get off the bench that game. Played Against Duke One of Vinson's mist humorous baseball stories which substantiates the fact that many people who per form great works never get credit for it concerns Center's game with Duke, then Trinity College. In that particular game, Vinson, as shortstop, was really "hot," swoop ing up fast line drives with one hand, snagging flies, and leaping into the air for fast balls hit over his head. The next morning, the Durham paper came out saying: "That Center shortstop pulled balls out of the sky, and dug them out of the dirt. What a ball player! In fact, that Pritch ard looked like a big leaguer." (Pritch ard was the right fielder.) Vinson said that he guessed he just wouldn't ever get any publicity. By the way, Vinson had entertained the thought of being a professional baseball play er, but maybe it was this incident that changed his mind to law, and consequently into one of the highest positions in the United States Govern ment. Born in Louisa, Kentucky, in 1890, Vinson graduated in law in 1911, and set up a practice in his home town. In 1923, he won a seat in the House of Representatives, and stayed there until 1937 (except for a two-year period in the Hoover landslide in 1928- 29), when he resigned. In May, 1943, President Roosevelt named him director of Economic Sta bilization, in which capacity he earned the reputation of being t a man who walks into a fight and forces a settle ment. Early in 1945, he succeeded Jesse Jones as Federal Loan Administrator, and shortly thereafter succeeded James F. Byrnes as director of the Office of War Mobilization and Recon version. Due to his popularity, the confidence he commands among both Democrats and Republicans, and his excellent record in previous government serv ice, Truman, soon after he became president, named Vinson as Secre tary of the Treasury.

The office of the Director, the Dramatic Museum, the Business Of fice, the Bureau of Community Drama, the Radio Studio, the Scene Shop, the Costume Shop, and the several store rooms are located in seven different places on and off the campus all of them outside the theatre and most of them at a considerable distance from it ..." Illustrated by architectural draw ings of the proposed new theatre building, which is to be dedicated to the late Dr. Frederick H. Koch, famed founder and director of the Playmak- ers, Professor Selden's article explains plans for the building, to be located just east of the Bell Tower back of and across the highway from the Li brary. Dr. Henderson, in his foreword, says: "It is singularly appropriate that a volume which serves both as a memorial to Koch and as a survey. summary, and appraisal f the labors and accomplishments of the Carolina Playmakers, should ' appear during the culminating year of the Sesqui- (Continued from first page) waived. Classes To Begin Critic Robert Morrison announced that classes in parliamentary proce dure will begin next Wednesday night at 8 o'clock in the Di Chamber. All senators, except those excused by the critic, will be required to attend; the classes will also be open to the Phi and to members of the student body. At the regular session the Di dis cussed a number of phases of the current labor problem. Among the principal speakers were Bill Crisp, Bob Gurney, Buddy Glenn, Donald Shropshire, Tom Corpening, Morrison, and McFarland. Pittman announced that the Sen ate's Sesquicentennial Celebration Committee had invited former Vice President Henry Wallace to be the principal speaker of the program. TRUSTEES (Continued from first page) Authorized contracts provide for two new buildings housing a total of 600 students, but it was hinted Thursday that possibly five dormitories could be built. If the extra three are of the same type as those already proposed, Carolina would be able to take care of 1,500 additional students once they were completed.

Graham, writ ing the dedicatory sketch, points out that Dr. Koch was "the champion of the democratic spirit and of the free and noble imagination. He instilled in all the eternal quest of the human spirit for a freer and better world. The man became an idea, the idea be came a movement, and the movement bcame a national institution the folk drama of America." An article by "Proff " himself, Drama in the South," written short- y before he died, is also included in the book, in which he gives a sum mary of the varied activities and writings of the Playmakers. current enrollment is 4,011, of which 1,566 are veterans; estimated appli cants for the spring term, 5,000; esti mated applicants for the fall term, 6,500 to 7,500; vacant beds in dormi tories, none; vacant beds in town, none. Authorization of the new dormi tories is welcomed as the first concrete action taken to remedy the severe housing shortage here now. South Building authorities are working on a number of projects to secure addi tional housing, with particular con cern for married veterans who would like to bring their families here, but so far nothing definite has come of their efforts. No new developments have been reported concerning the University's application for pre-f abricated housing units now located outside Portsmouth, Va. Government release of the houses has not come through as yet, but when this release is given hopes are that Carolina will get enough units to go a good part of the way toward remedying the currently bad situa tion.
