The paper is run en tirely by .students and is not sub ject to control by faculty or ad ministration. It has no connection with the Scnool of Journalism, al though journalism students often work on the staff. The paper often has had its roimh moments. Twice in the last three ye irs the editor has been forcri to run in a recall election bec.iue of students' dissatisfaction with the editorial policies. The first lecall was unsuccessful; last year the editor, Neil Bass of Spring Hope, was voted out of office. He was replaced by Douglas Ei.elc from Statcsvillc. Kriilor for this year is Curtis Gan. senior from Waj ncsville. . The, occasion will be the dedica tion of the William Hayes Ackland Art Center, planned for September 20. National art figures as well as state officials will be present for the opening of the newly-completed museum1. Aeklaiul, a Washington. D. C. at torney, was born, reared and edu cated in Tennessee. But he thought beyond state boundaries in his dreams of creating a great South ern univcitoity art center. Physical evidence of that dream is a hano'some brick building, lo cated on the northwest corner of the University campus, fronting on Columbia t. near its intersection with Franklin St. j LAST WILL I Ackland specified in his last will. 50 Students Comprise Legislative Arm Here l" Of'llJ fH itn Kim lln imnri! n.!, Other publications students may! .

Considerable legal action preceded the 'building of the art center at UXC. Acklacnd had originally named Duke University as recipient of the estate, with UXC and Rollins Col lege as second choices, but later amended litis will to stipulate Duke only. work on include those put out for orientation purposes, such as the Carolina Handbook, the Woman's Handbook, and the Interfraternity Handbook. Students have been invited to work on the publication of their choice. ' Duke's rejection of toe offer, fol lowing Ackland's death, saw the beginning of six years of litigation. In a 1943 decision, at the start of litigation, the U. S. Court of Ap peals for the District of Columbia stated: "The actual beneficiaries of the trust were intended to be students and other members of the public throughout the South, interested i.i art, who 'should visit and use the building ... "The dominant idea in the mind of (Mr. Ackland) was the cause of art in the South. He intendec. that the site of his enterprise should be a university, with its well known accompaniment of students, instructors, research and publica tion facilities, permanence of admin istration and of educational purposes." Students at UXC will certainly benefit from the facilities of the center, which provides teaching and creative space for the Department of Art, formerly housed in Person Hall and part of Caldwell Hall. Many visitors from the general public who come to enjoy art in ti e years ahead will certainly fulfill the dream of the Tenncssean. William Hayes Ackland grew up in a setting which ca.t the mold for his later interest in art and all things cultural. His parents were Col. Joseph Alexander Smith Acklen, an Ala bama attorney who saw Army serv ice during the Mexican War, and Adelicia Hayes Acklen. Mrs. Ack len had been married first to Isaac Franklin, a wealthy Southern plant er who owned property in Tennes see and in Louisiana. The family home, "Belmont," near Nashville, Tenn., has been de scribed as possessing an "atmos phere of culture and refinement." Ranked as one of the finest in the in life, he visited leading art gal- south, it claimed "lawns laid out after the manner of Hampton Court and the mansion furnished with valuable paintings, pictures, rugs, china and other objects of art." After his upbringing in such an environment, Ackland took under graduate work at Nashville Univer sity and receved his law degree at Vanderbilt University.

The classics, modem literature and ori ental religions were other areas of his knowledge. Ackland was well aware of the lack of facilities in the south for the study and appreciation of art and irelt that a great need existed for an outstanding art center.
