Yackety-Yack staffs.
A familiar figure on second floor
Graham Memorial, sanctum for pub

Mag editor.

Tar Heel business staff, and Howard
Cohn, member of the Tar an' Feathers
business staff, were the other appli

publication has not been appointed,
but the PU board is expected to meet
on the question next week.
First coed to attain the top of the
ladder in any branch of publications

Garner Named Sports Editor
Of Tar Heel for Coming Year
Climaxing two years of working on the Daily Tar Heel sports staff, Mark
Garner rising senior from Asheville and a journalism major, has been selected
sports editor for next year, Bucky Harward and Bob Hoke, new editor and
managing editor who take office next fall, announced yesterday.
Garner brings to the editorship of the Tar Heel sports staff a wide and
varied career of sports writing, a career that has fitted him to head the staff
for next year.
He first started working on the staff
the fall quarter of 1940 when Leonard
Lobred was sports editor. He covered
tennis during the fall and for the re
mainder of the year served as feature
writer.
In the fall of 1941 he served as mural
reporter, covered boxing during the
winter and this spring has chronicled
the accomplishments of the Carolina
tennis team for the readers of the Tar
Heels sports page. He has also served
as night sports editor since the fall
quarter.
Coming to the head of the staff at
a time when the athletic program at
Carolina will be emphasized more than
ever before, Garner faces prospects of
supervising the covering of not only
the Carolina teams in action but also
the Navy pre-flight varsity teams
which will carry on a complete sche
dule.
"I realize that I face a difficult task
in editing the sports page next year,
Garner said, "and I am looking for
ward to a successful year." Garner
promised that an attempt would be
made to inject more features in the
columns, shorten some of the stories,
seek out more stories and write more
opinionated sports columns. He also
said that an attempt would be made
each week to summarize the play the
forptipp teams and the relative
standing of Carolina in the league.
Harry Hollingsworth, retiring sports
editor, said, "A wise and excellent se
lection has been made. Mark is thor
oughly acquainted with the problems
of editing the sports page, tie will ao
a competent job." ;
Co-op Groups to Show
Social Movie Sunday
Under the joint sponsorship of the
campus cooperative groups and the
Union Student Forum, the sound film
"Here Is, Tomorrow" will be shown this
Sunday evening at 7 o'clock in the
Methodist church, it was announced
yesterday.
The film will be followed by discus
sion. The program is open especially
to students in the social sciences and
those interested in consumer problems.
Juniors Play
Rival Seniors
In Softball
After a gruelling week of secret
practice on the nodding grass of Tin
ney's meadow, a muscular and polish
ed senior softball team swaggered in
to the locker-room today confident of
a victory over the juniors in the an
nual tilt to be fought on coed battle
ground No. 1 Friday at 5 o'clock.
Tommy Sparrow, manager and
trainer of the senior crew, stated yes
terday that with the exception of 23
balls knocked out of sight and lost
by hard-hitting seniors in batting
practice, the preparation for the con
test had proceeded without a hitch.
"Well have the most powerful and
most invincible senior softball team,"
lisped Sparrow, "that ever set 10
pairs of bow legs on a coed intra
mural field."
Undaunted and showing amazing
skill in fielding, the junior players
held the braggart contentions of their
rivals in contempt. Craig Phillips,
junior manager, stressed infield prac
tice during the junior pregame warm
up sessions working along the theory
that anemic seniors could not get the
ball past the infield.
"We can have no fear of the sen
iors' reputed power," drawled Phil
lips, "for our scouts posted in trees
surrounding the meadow saw nothing
but sloppy fielding and strike-outs
through their telescopes borrowed
from surveying lab." Phillips also
stated that "the game, if you can call
a one-sided contest a game, would un
doubtedly end in triumph for the jun
iors who possessed superior skill and
fortitude."

ing in her office in the arboretum,

It is a throwback to the S&F tradi

Naval Chief
Arrives, Sets
Up Offices
Commander O. O. Kessing, USN,
reported for permanent duty yester
day as Commandant of Carolina's
giant Naval Air Cadet program and
set up offices immediately in Alex
ander dormitory. ' 1
Prior to his arrival the commander
has been with the Bureau of Naviga
tion in connection with the organiza
tion of all four Naval Pre-Flight
schools which are almost ready to be
gin the preparedness program.
Commander Kessing, 51 year old
son of the high seas, has spent 20 of
them on a boat's deck. He saw active
duty in Mexican waters during 1914,
served on destroyers and cruisers
through the first World War and then
participated in one of the Haitian
campaigns.
He was the first executive officer
of .the ill-fated USS Reuben James
and served in that ship during its
duty in European waters. His last as
signment afloat was as captain of the
USS Chaumont of the Asiatic station.
While a midshipman at Annapolis,
Commander Kessing was outstanding
in athletics with positions on the foot
ball and wrestling teams. Years later
he became the first graduate manager
of athletics at the United States Nav
al Academy where he graduated in
the class of 1914.
When the Pre-Flight school reaches
full strength this fall, it will have
1,875 cadets, 192 officers, 13 civilian
instructors and 125 enlisted personnel.
The objective of the school, accord
ing to the commander, is to give the
initial naval indoctrination to the fu
ture Navy flyers and to train them in
such a manner that they will be phy
sically fit to take their place among
the Naval aviators ashore and afloat.

In a letter to Morgan, Undersecre
tary of State Sumner Welles describ
ed Dr. Hornbeck as "an outstanding
authority on Far Eastern questions.
. . . From 1928 until his present ap
pointment in 1937, he was Chief of
the Division of Far Eastern Affairs
of the Department. He is a very ex
pert colleague."
Hornbeck, now a colonel in the Mili
tary Intelligence Reserves, a Phi Beta
Kappa and holder of two LLD's, has
taken over the front pages continual
ly with his analyses and opinions on
Far Eastern affairs. His position has
grown to indispensable importance
since Pearl Harbor. His knowledge of
and information of Chinese, Japanese
and British Far Eastern war moves
is considered by the State Department
the most complete in Washington of
ficialdom. A full IRC program, from luncheon
to banquet and receptions, will greet
the State Department Adviser on his
arrival Thursday morning, Morgan
announced. The Hornbeck address will
be the first to be sponsored by the
new IRC administration.
