Mother and Quintuplets
Join Phi Alpha House
Becoming the first woman to ob
tain the doubtful distinction of join
ing a man's fraternity, the mother
who had puppies in Earl Kastner,
Julian Kline and Julius Amer's
room in Lewis dorm has been adopt
ed, by the Phi, Alpha fraternity.
The mother and her quintuplets
recently sky-rocketed the room
mates into headlines when the pup
pies coming was announced over
the radio in "News of the Week at
Carolina."
The mother and her. five children
created quite a problem in 212
Lewis which already had three in
mates. Roommates Kline and Amer
complain that they did all the dirty
work, but Kastner says that he was
the one who was kept awake nights
with whimpers and maternal growls.
Now all three sleepjn .peace while
the Phi Alphas toss restlessly in
their sleep and pull the covers over
their heads to shut out the mid
night whimpers and whines of the
puppies.
However Lewis loss is the Phi
Alpha's gain. Instead of having one
mascot to help them win intramural
games they have six.

Information issued from CVTC

the entire corps will have been out

The uniforms will consist of khaki

"During the initial stages of the or

concentrating on improving the or
ganization, and it is now believed
that the corps is ready for General
Parker's inspection. The similarity of

McKinnon, Gleicher to Runoff
In Tar an' Feathers Race
By Bob Hoke
Two recounts refused to change the status-quo established by
tabulations early yesterday morning on annual spring elections
and the forthcoming runoff balloting hazily scheduled for next
week is the only tabulation "hanging fire."
The hotly-contested political race between Denny Hammond,
UP candidate, and Dotson Palmer, SPa
choice for junior class representative If 1
ot the student council, was unaltered
after -a recount by the Student coun
cil leaving Palmer ahead by a bare
13 votes.
Second closest race between Paul
Komisaruk, SP candidate and UP's
Ernie Frankel for junior member to
the Publications Union Board. A Stu
dent council recount late yesterday
afternoon left unchanged Frankel's
16-vote margin over his rival.
Komisaruk led in the voting up un
til final tabulations came in from Stu- j
dent council counting rooms and Fran-'
kel nosed ahead on the impetus of
bloc fraternity votes.
Ben McKinnon, 1942's only inde
pendent campaigner and the dark
horse of the humor mag race, will vie
with Stud Gleicher, University Party
candidate, in the runoff election to be
held next week. McKinnon polled 754
votes for the Tar an' Feathers editor
ship, against 680 cast for Gleicher.
Charlie Colby, SP candidate and third
member of the original contending
trio was dropped out of the race
Thursday night with a total of i 522
votes.

Dr. Franz Polgar will give a unique
exhibition of mind-reading, mirth and
mystification on Monday evening at
8 : 15 in Gerrard hall under the auspices i
of Graham Memorial.
Polgar's program consists of three
parts. First, mental telepatny in
which he conducts astounding demon
strations in thought transference.
He exhibits next more extradinary
mental powers with his memory feats.
He seems to have a photographic mind,
capable of registering the contents of
whole magazines at a glance, of mas
tering lengthy lists of names and num
bers, and of repeating them in all sorts
of combinations.
Polgar sometimes tops his programs
by demonstrating the power of sugges
tion upon subjects chosen from the
audience.
Although his program has a genuine-
y scientific background, it is designed
or entertainment. Polgar is an ac
knowledged master in the art of hyp
nosis, and his experiments are "as a-
musing as they are amazing."
