For Powder Bowl Performance

In a special election taken yes
terday, Liz (Woo- Woo) Currie,
star deep back in the Pi Phi's po
tent "A" formation was nomi
nated as Athlete of the Week by
The Daily Tar Heel sports staff.
Liz, a graduate student from
Reidsville, N.C., scored three
touchdowns in leading her team
to. a 19-0 victory over arch rivals,
Tri-Delta. Many of the fans placed
her running, passing, and punt
ing in a class . just below the
great Charlie " Justice, and a few
old-line "Tar Heels had far-away
visions of the fabulous No. 22 in
their, eyes as Currie romped on
her 90-yard touchdown jaunt in
the second period.
According to Carolina's new
coach, George Barclay, "Currie
is .the best broken field . runner
I've seen this year."
- The Pi Phi coach, Andy Mi
keta, said, "Hank Lauricella

Roundtable Tonight
The historical, political, and
commercial outlooks regarding
socialism as against free enter
prise will be aired tonight when
three university professors ex
plore the present and future
conditions of the two ideologies.
As the first of a series of panel
discussions, Frances W. Coker,
visiiing professor in political
science, James E. King, history
professor, and D. D. Carroll,
commerce, professor, will give
their viewpoints concerning
"Socialism vs. Free Enterprise"
in Graham Memorial at 8 p.m.
(Tennessee's All-American half
back) would look bad along side
Currie."
Only descending vote in the
tabulation was cast by Grantland
Rice (which is an honor itself).
Rice claimed that Liz didn't play
the entire game . and therefore
wasn't eligible for All-American
mention.
Rumors are thick about Chapel
Hill as to Liz's future in the grid
iron sport, but one of the more
reliable sources claims that Woo
Woo has turned down offers from
two pro teams. It is also rumored
that Dook offered the Pi Phi a
four - year, all - expenses - paid
scholarship, and life-time supply
of " Chesterfields.
Another story says that having
seen Currie run from the tail
back slot, Coach Carl Snavely is
thinking of switching back to the
single wing and installing Woo
Woo in Blue and White next sea

Henry Ingram
Named Head
Of Ike Club
The "Ike for President Club"
on campus elected Henry H. In
gram as president at a meeting
Tuesday.
. Samuel J. Blackwood, vice
president; and Harvey5 Geitner,
secretary were also elected.
Following the election Ingram
issued this statement:
- ."The 'Ike For President Club'
was formed because we not only
think he is the outstanding can
didate but we believe that the
Republican Party has not been
getting the independent vote that
it should in the past elections
and we think it imperative to get
a man nominated with the stature
and ability of .General Eisen
hower. "The reaction on the campus
shows clearly that Eisenhower
is first choice of all the leading
candidates among the students.
We now have an active club and
it is growing very rapidly. The
choice of Senator Taft, however
competent he may be, would dis
courage the young voters of the
country to the point that it may
mean the permanent loss of the
independent voter to the Republi
can Party."

working with the "Ike For Pres
ident Club" may contact Ingram
