Coed S
$3 Per Year
Tax Charges
Are Voted Out
Kash Davis Says
Action Of Senate
To Be Permanent
The Coed Senate has abol
ished the special $l-per-quar-ter
coed activities tax on Uni
versity women students,
Speaker Kash Davis announc
ed yesterday.
The tax, refunded as a
special fee for women after the
block fee system was put into
effect in 1946-47, was a hangover
from the old Women's Association
fee charged before the 1946 Con
stitution was ratified.
Actually, the special fee was
retained on coed billing forms
after the block fee was installed
through an error in the Univer
sity cashier's office, but the
money has been appropriated and
spent under the jurisdiction of
the Coed Senate ever since.
The Senate unanimously ap
proved the move to abolish the
fee at its Tuesday night meet
ing. It also unanimously approved
a budcet for the 1951-52 fiscal
year.
Speaker Davis said ' the Senate
meant for the elimination of the
coed fee to be permanent, not
just for the next fiscal year.
The new coed budget was sim
ilar to those of past years, ex
cept for the fact that the list of
women's organizations usually
subsidized by the Senate was cut
to three the Valkyries, the Wom
en's Athletic Association and the
Independents Board.
Subsidiary groups eliminated
from the new budget ' are the
Women's Glee Club, the YWCA,
Chi Delta Phi, Pan Hellenic
Council, Kappa Epsilon and the
Town Girls' Association.
The Senate wilf operate on an
estimated surplus of $2,277.52 and
a $95 appropriation from the
Student Legislature. Total ex
penditures for next year are es
timated at . $1,596, which means
the Senate should end the 1951
52 fiscal year with a $776.52 sur
plus. WORLD,

Tropic Fruit
Art Showing
On Weekend
Lee Adams, nationally recog

sent an exhibition of about 50
water color paintings of tropical
fruits in the Morehead Building
art galleries Saturday through
Tuesday.
The exhibit will be open to the
public from 10 a.m. until 10 p.m.
on Saturday, 1 p.m. until 10 p.m.
on Sunday, and 2 p.m. until 10
p.m. on Monday and Tuesday.
Adams, a University of North
Carolina alumnus, completed
many of his scientifically accu
rate paintings under the guidance
of Dr. David Eirchild, well
known botanist. He has just re
cently returned from a trip
through the Caribbean area where
he studied subjects for his painU
ings, which have been compared
to the works of Audobon for their
beauty and accuracy.
A resident of Mandarin, Fla.,
Adams attended" the University
from 1941 to 1944 and completed
his education ' at Rollins College
in Florida. His major field of
study was botany and while a
student here professors recogniz
ed his ability to sketch accurately
and encouraged him to continue
to develop his artistic talent.
He has gone to great lengths to
present an accurate picture of
natural tropical fruits in his
paintings, often ingeniously in
cluding a cut-away portion of
the fruit, showing its interior
flesh and seed. Many of his pic
tures include tropical birds, n .

large and high ceilinged and fill

motor of a blower which sends
hot air into the room through two
big canvas tubes lying on the floor.
The ambulances back up to the
receiving room door and the
wounded come out on canvas lit

blankets, their faces showing
dust-caked beards, their arms ly

some of them, are alive or dead.
Ten soldiers lie on litters on
the receiving room floor. Some
smoke and gaze at the lights
glowing dimly on the high ceil

closed, faces sick and . gray.
They're waiting to be checked in,
screened and treated. Many still
wear their green field caps. Dried
blood mottles their stiffened
clothing.

Cooper Tells
How NROTC
Saves Money
The 52 NROTC units in the
nation are turning out each year
as many officers as the U. S.
Naval Academy at Annapolis and
at much less cost than would be
involved in the establishment of
another Naval Academy, accord
ing the Captain J. Elliot Cooper
(USN), Commander of the Uni
versity NROTC.
Addressing the Chapel Hill
Rotary Club at its last meeting,
Captain Cooper described the
NROTC programs throughout the
nation and the unit at the Uni
versity in particular.
A total of 15,400 students are
now enrolled in the various units,
he said. The unit at the Univer
sity is one of only 13 which can
commission officers for the Navy
Supply Corps as well as for the
Navy and Marine Corps.
At present 253 students are en
rolled in the unit here, 126 of
them regulars and 127 under con
tract basis. Thirty-seven of these
should graduate before August.
The unit here was established in
1940, followed by the Navy. Pre
Flight School in 1942 and the
Navy V-12 program in 1943. The
two latter programs were aband
oned at the end of World War II.
Captain Cooper explained that
regulars in the NROTC arc
selected on the basis of examin
ations and aptitude tests on a
state-quota basis, and that those
selected are given tuition, books,
equipment, uniforms and $50 a
month for the four-year period in

shock, which has caused his veins
to contract.
The nurse, Lt. Margaret Feil of
San Francisco, can't get the
needle in a vein. She probes and
probes, and, the wounded man
jumps and rolls his head at each
probe. A medic pulls off one of
the soldier's boots, and he writhes
in pain for he has a motar wound
in the leg.
A doctor takes the blood giving
needle from the nurse and tries
to get it in a vein lower in the
arm, but it's no use. They have
been working on the soldier's
left arm. His right arm is a stump,
blown off below the elbow. It is
wrapped in a huge rolled white
bandage, soaked with blood. ,

tators will gather at the site of
the-new hospital to witness the
cornerstone-laying for the in
stitution which the University
fought so long to get.
Governor Kerr Scott, Consoli
dated University President Gor
don Gray, and University Chan
cellor Robert B. House will take
part in the proceedings. Short
talks will be made by Governor
Scott; William B. Umstead; Kay
Kyser, one of the leaders of
North Carolina's good health
movement; Dr. Paul Whitaker,
Kinston physician representing
the state's physicians; and Major
L. P. McLendon, chairman of the
Trustees' committee on the Med
ical School.
The cornerstone will be laid in
accordance with Masonic rites,
with North Carolina's , Grand
Master of Masons, Dr. Wallace
E. Caldwell of the History De
partment, in command. The an
nual State Communicarion of the
Masons will be in session at the
time of the cornerstone laying.
Notables to be present will be
Collier ; Cobb, . Jr., chairman of
the Trustees' building committee;
Dr. Reece Berryhill, dean of the
Medical School; Dr. Henry T.
Clark, Jr., administrator of the
Division of Health Affairs; Dr.
Robert R. Cadmus, director of
the hospital; Dr. Edward G. Mc
Gavran, dean of the School of
Public Health; Dr. John C.
Brauer, dean of the School of
Dentistry; Miss Elizabeth Kemblc,
dean of the School of Nursing,
and E. A. Bretch, dean of the
School of Pharmacy.
The hospital has been under
construction about a year and. a
half and is expected to be com
pleted at the end of this year. The
exterior of the building is near
its final form, but there is much
yet to be done toward the com
pletion of the interior.
Roadways and parking lots are
to be constructed in the near
future. The formal opening of the
hospital is set for the spring of
1952, barring unforeseen develop
ments. The head surgeon, a major,
eomes over and takes a syringe
needle and begins probing deep
in the man's thigh for a blood
vessel. The guy is conscious, and
the surgeon says "How do you
feel now?" ,
"I don't feel bad at all," the
guy says. He takes a cigarette.
A medic approaches and looks
at the record card tied to the
soldier's clothes and-goes away,
shaking his head. The case is
critical. The important thing is
to get blood into him. The sur
geon has given up probing and
is cutting into one of the big veins
at the ankle. No blood comes out
as he cuts. He thrusts a hollow
metal tube through the incision
and into the vein and attaches
the bottle tube to it. The blood
level of the. bottle begins to sink
very slowly.
The soldier has lost conscious
ness. As I leave he is lying still,
his head fallen to one side, the
arm stump hanging down over
the cot . edge. He probably will
live because someone; has given
the blood to keep' him alive.
Mclntyre Elected;
Allston Runs Third;
Penegar Concedes
UP presidential candidate Dick Penegar conceded at
12:32 this morning when final unofficial returns Bhowed
he had 721 votes to 890 for Henry Bowers (SP) and 862 for
independent candidate Ben James. The latter two will
be in next week's runoff.
A recount of votes from Town Men's District I at 1
o'clock this morning provided complete but unofficial re
sults showing that both party candidates were knocked out
of the Daily Tar Heel editorship race, leaving independents
Glenn Harden with 925 and Don Maynard with 561 in next
week's runoff. Frank Allston (UP), who received 512. de

was complete but unofficial.

As ballot-counting neared a close at 12:15 this morning in
one of the closest elections in campus history, the story was
still to be told on who would face whom in the runoffs. The
only major candidate sure of a runoff berth was Glenn Hard
en, independent candidate for editor of The Daily Tar Heel,
who taught the professional campus politicians never to.
underestimate the power of a woman.
The presidential race was still wide open, with approxi
mately 2,500 ballots counted. Student Party candidate Henry
Bowers was leading with 882 votes, but independent Ben
James was breathing down his neck with 839, and University
Party nominee Dick Penegar wasn't too far behind with 708.
But the bulk of the uncounted ballots were from the
town men's districts, Penegar's stronghold. Those unknown votes
could also put Frank Allston (UP) in the runoff with Harden for
the editorship. At 12:15, however, Don Maynard, another independent,
was running second with 514, while Allston had 460, Walt Dear (SP)
415, and Bruce Melton (independent) 41.

Macs Firing
Livens Talk
On Elections
By Rolfe Neill
General Mac-Arthur's firing
wasn't the only topic of conver
sation among the dozens of class
cutting students sprawled over
South Building's steps or lolling
around the Y Court yesterday
morning.
It was election day and nothing
could crowd out the talk of pol
itics. It was an election day unusual
in many respects unusual in
that the skies were sunny and
the day warm and pleasant. Then
too, politicians, both amateur and
professional, were not making any
bets as to who would win what
major office. It was just that
wide open.
It was the usual election day
in that several humorous inci
dents occurred. .
Immaculate, wavy-haired Ben
James strolled through the Y's
double doors yesterday morning
about 9:35 with a cup of coffee

Rooms Must
Be Reserved
James E. Wadsworth, Univer
sity housing officer, said yester
day students desiring dormitory j
rooms for the summer and fall
terms must make their deposits
with the University Cashier be
fore May 1.
Students may pick up their
option to reserve rooms Mr the
terms at any time between now
and May 1, Wadsworth said, but
added that a room reserved for
the summer does not entitle the
occupant to that space in the
fall. If deposit is not made, no
room will be reserved, he said.
This will be the first time in
several years the capacity of the
rooms are reduced.
I to 1094.
The most amazing thing about
the election was the heavy voty
coed Harden got in the nun's
dormitory districts. Not women
haters, but usually skep1ic
about a woman's executive abil
ity, the residents of the quad:;
turned out in full force to givr;
her a heavy margin in the dorms.
Independent presidential can
didate James also did well in
the men's dorm district, cutting,
heavily, into Bowers' SP bloc. In
Dorm Men's District I, Bowers
Penegar was more than a hun
dred votes behind.
The dorm women .seemed to
prefer Bowers, with PencRar and
James following in that order.
In town, the coeds voted in the
same pattern.
In at least one race, a contest
ing r the election seemed cer
tain. On the senior class ballot,
both candidates running for class
treasurer were identified with
UP backing beside their names.
Allan Donald deserved the credit,
but Clay Johnson was nominated
by the SP.
Elections Board Chairman Jul
ian Mason used more than fi'J
counters, working in the three
upstairs Roland Parker lounges
of Graham Memorial. In addition,
a score of aides helped distribute
big manila envelopes filled with
tabulated returns in the student
government office.
At 10:30 the interest in Graham
Memorial switched from the bin
blackboard on the first floor
where Legislator Jim Lamm was
posting returns to the radio in
the main lounge and to the tele
vision set in the Horace Williams
Thomas Wolfe lounge. Ballot
counters even came from upstairs
to hear President Truman speak.
