Besides this military sen timent, students also freely sanctioned civilian military conscription by the overwhelming count of 1669 to 860, with. 40 votes cast in the undecided category. Students were none the less hesi tant in placing the affirmative check on .this question: Would you favor establishing military training at Chapel Hill? The vote of 1220 to 675 favoring the issue was. somewhat a surprise to CPU officials because of past anti-military meetings ana ais oussions by various student organiza tions. There were only 22 ballots in the undecided bracket. .

The kick-off is scheduled in Bow- maa Grey memorial stadium at 2:30. The Tar Heels are now ready, aft er a week of getting over their 12-0 upset defeat by Wake Forest and much effort spent at rebuilding, for what would ordinarily be just an other game, and their coming battle next weekend with TCU is not out of mind completely.

Worley Calls Figures in Square Dance Revival WitK Music by Chatham County Ramblers By Orville Campbell Square dancing, something most of us thought passed out of existence be fore our first love, will be revived again tonight when Graham Memo rial will sponsor a dance m the Tin Can from 9 until 12 o'clock. Admis sion is freehand everyone is invited. Music will be furnished by the Chat ham County Ramblers. Richard Worley, director of Gra ham Memorial, will call the figures, and several members of the student body who have been square dancing ately will teach the beginners. "It makes.no difference whether you have ever square danced before," Wor- ey stated. "Many students have earned how to dance to popular music by just attending square dances. One can make a mistake at a square dance and others don't even notice it. If you come to one, you won't miss an other all year." Popular During Summer School During both sessions of summer school this old-time dance was so popular that no one would participate in any of the other campus activities. Such old-timey tunes as Arkansas Traveller, Cotten-Eyed . Joe, Sally Goodin, Old Zip Coon, and Buffalo Gal proved to be quite the thing instead, of "I'll Never Smile Again" and the like. . . Many of the dances . tonight will, center around such old figures as the Grapevine Twist, Georgia Rang Tang, Dive for an Oyster, Take a Peak, Wind (Continued on page 4, column 5) .
