Admission Office Swamped
By Entrance Applications
One of the biisiest spots on the
campus these days is the admis
sions office.
Although James Wadsworth,
university housing officer, may
disagree and claim his office has
more visitors, the fact is that
the second floor of South build
ing looks as if Gilda is putting
the blame on Mame again. The
place is literally swamped.
Roy Armstrong, the univer
sity's ambassador, says 100 per
sons a day are trying to get in
school. Besides those personal
interviews, about 200 pieces of
mail come in daily asking for en
trance information.
As it stands now, the enroll
ment for next fall should be in
the neighborhood of 5500. Last
March all former students re
turning from the wars couldn't
be accommodated so that as
many as possible will be piling
in here come summer. Very few
want to stay put this summer.

"Music in Profile" Is Theme of Program

nationally known pianist, fascinatingly different in his presenta

Sunday evening according to Martha Rice, Graham Memorial Director.
Executors
Begin Search
For Art Site
The three trustees for the es
tate of the late William Hayes
Ackland began Monday their
survey of the University to de
termine its fitness as the site of
a $1,300,000 art museum, as pro
vided for in Ackland's will.
After leaving here Thursday
the group will present their find
ings in a report to the District of
Columbia District Court, to de
termine whether Rollins College
or Carolina will receive the sum.
Arriving, here last week-end,
the group was led on a tour of
the campus Monday by President
Graham, Chancellor House, Con
troller W. D. Carmichael, Jr.,
John V. Allcott, Art department
head, and Albert Coates, director
of the Institute of Government.
According to the stipulations
of the will, a maximum of $300,
000 may be expended in the con
struction of the art museum it
self, the remainder to be used for
endowment. .
"No . announcement will be
made as to whether the Univer
sity of North Carolina or Rollins
College will get the bequest un
til late summer or fall," stated
Edson B. Olds, head of the group.
"Final decision in the case will
be left up to the . Washington
courts, but they will probably up
hold our recommendations."
Sunday Band Concerts
The University Band will be
gin its weekly Sunday afternoon
appearances with a lawn concert
under Davie poplar this Sunday
at 4:00 p.m., stated Earl SIo
cum, band director.
about as passe as last year's
straw hat. The teachers will
have a year round job.
The one reconversion problem
that seems to be solved is the
male supply. Increasing enroll
ment will make the boys com
pete more and more for feminirie
favors. It's going to be tough
boys, but only 150 new coeds will
arrive to unpack their dainty
things here next fall. And, for
you cosmopolitan romeos with
the international approach there
will have to be a slight change
in your technique for all the new
babes will be the "yall" gals from
the old home state. There just
isn't room for out-of-state girls.
The crowded condition that
exists today makes it just as
hard to get in college as it was
to get out of the army a few
months ago. Just for a sample,
the admissions office has between
ten and twelve thousand applica
tions for entrance. Looks as if
they'll have to stop calling this
place a village.
The Daily Tar Heel
Urges Yoa to Vote
For the Constitution
NUMBER 67
"Music In Profile," an illus
tration and discussion of the
vast powers of music will be the
theme of the program, in which
Gabriel will endeavor to demon
strate the ability of music to
portray the tragic, ecstatic, sa
tirical, fiery, the contagion of
dance music, and the stir and ex
citement of martial melodies.
During the program selections
from the "Water Music" of Han
del, and Etude of Chopin's, num
bers by Beethoven, Liszt Mo
zart, and modern selections from
Satie, Respighi, and Debussy
will be heard.
Founded Society
As founder and organizer of
the "Society of Timid Souls,"
Gabriel has been described in
newspapers from coast to coast.
Object of the Society is to aid
artists of all kinds, especially
musicians, to overcome their fear
of audiences. Critic's comments
such as "an ingenious young
pianist," "at once master of his
audience," and "the pianist with
a flair for the unhackneyed"
have prevented the young artist
from suffering from any lack of
stage presence or fear of audi
ence reaction.
Try Out Club
The "Try Out Club," another
organization where artists in
every field may get an honest
audience reaction to their per
formances, was also founded by
Gabriel.
Recent programs over major
metropolitan radio stations, in
cluding WEAF, WJZ, WQXR,
and WOR, delighted audiences
throughout the New York area.
In all of his programs, Gabriel
gives an informal explanation of
the music and its background.
Background
Born in Denver, he came to.
New York at an early age and
studied with private teachers,
and at the Juillard School of
Music, where he held a scholar
ship. He has appeared as recital
ist in many of New York's fa
mous music halls, and was star
red last year in a guest appear
ance on the program, "We, The
People" over CBS radio net
work. Di Senate Debates
