Top Tracksters
Will Be Ready
To Enter Meet
By Ralph Parks, Jr.
Thirteen teams and 150 track stars
are on hand today for the big Indoor
Meet, which promises to be the fastest
and most colorful event of its kind ever
to be held in the history of the South.
Preliminaries for the annual indoor
classic will start at 2:30 this after
noon, but ten of the thirteen finals have
been saved for the big night show in
Woollen gymnasium at 7:30.
The most astounding fact about this
meet is that one or more entries have
equalled or bettered the existing rec
ords in eight of the 13 events on the
program, and they have come within
a shade of four other standards. Thus
it seems that new records will be writ
ten in the track annals of the now fa
mous indoor meets.
One Mark Safe
In fact, only one mark that looks
perfectly safe is a 7.6 in the low hur
dles, and that figure unofficially better
ed the world's record.
A complete list of the teams entered
are as follows: Carolina, US Naval
Academy, Pre-Flight, Cherry Point,
Georgia Tech, Virginia, Sewanee, Bal
timore Polytechnic, Fort Bragg, Col
umbia, S. C, Fort Benning, Ga., Mor
ris Field, Charlotte, N. C, and Squad
ron "H" at State College.
Georgia Tech
Two changes in entries were made
this week. Camp Lejeune has can
celled its entry for the games today,
bucthe los& was "off set by addition of
Georgia Tech's Southeastern leaders.
The Georgia Tech entry, which ar
rived Tuesday, was headed by one na
tional champion, Bill Serris, who won
the national interscholastic one-mile
run last year. '
The reason for Camp Lejeune's can
cellation, its athletic officials said, was
that two of its stars are on maneuvers,
, two or three others on the sick list, and

Review Of Yeomen of the Guard Terms Show As
Success With John Toms Music As Outstanding
By Kat Hill
On the strength of advance reac
tion to the opening night perform
ance for the Naval pre-flight cadets,
the Carolina Playmakers-Depart-ment
of Music collaborated produc
tion of Gilbert and Sullivan's "The
Yeomen of the Guard" galloped into
a two-night run before the regular,
campus last night, assured of a suc
cessful, if not great, showing. For
tunately the show has more than
enough of what it takes to justify
both the high tariff of hard work
and the optimism.
For one of the highlights of the
Student Entertainment Series, John
Toms, musical director, and Joseph
Salek, who staged the show, give
their Carolina customers a colorful
production of one of the theatre's
modern classics (though .the play

squad are favored to cop the meet.
PU Board Appoints Co-Managing Editors
As Koppel Leaves for Navy Commission
By Boo Leigh
Sara Yokley and Horace Carter
have beenvappointed co-managing edi
tors by the Publications Union Board.
They are replacing Lloyd Koppel,
NROTC, who will be commissioned at
the end of this month. Koppel, who
has been managing editor since suc
ceeding Jud Kinberg in December, in
troduced the . first semi-weekly Tar
Heel January 7.
"It is the unusual emergency situa
tion this year that made this co
managership necessary," Nancy Smith,
spokesman for the PU board said.
"The PU board does not wish to es
tablish a precedent by appointing co
managing editors. It does not believe
that the responsibility entailed in such
a position can be divided, except in
rare cases." Yokley and Carter have

Foster Fitz-Simons; beautifully gay
costumes by Irene Smart; a gener
ous assemble of girls who obviously
were endowed by nature from birth;
excellent orchestration, and inspira
tionally, one Douglas Hume, who as
the Strolling Jester was easily the
favorite with audiences.
Hampered in no small measure by
the inadequacies of the facilities
available in Memorial Hall, the
hardest, and most often little appre
ciated, job of the production fell to
the lot of the technical, crews, un
der the direction of Robert Burrows
of the department of dramatic art.
The use of a movie projector for
throwing the background scenery
on screen presented a novel innova
tion on the part of the Playmakers,
but lack of footlights on the stage,
arid the non-use of spotlights to fol
low the leading characters as their
.Be
the qualifications that make for ex
cellent teamwork on a job such as
this."
Yokley, a senior from Mt. Airy,
plans to graduate in June. She trans
ferred from Hollins College and is a
Pi Phi. A journalism major, her first
experience in the field was writing a
column for a local weekly.
Both Experienced
This past summer Yokley was a re
porter on the Durham Sun. In June
1942 during the summer school ses
sion, she joined the staff of the Tar
Heel. At present she is working on
all school publications, serving as as
sociate editor of the Yackety Yack and
staff member of the Mag. Since
Christmas she has been acting as the
associate managing editor of the Tar
Heel. She also has been serving as

path of the central lighting play

entire scenes at moments. Make-up .
was a bit too exaggerated on the
whole and a somewhat less heavy
hand in the application of grease
paint, especially in the cases of Col
onel Fairfax, William Shadbolt, and
Dame Carruthers, would have ob
viated a great deal of adverse criti
cism on the part of the audience.
Acoustics in the Hall, always a sad
lamentation " of all performers on
that stage, were not improved by
the lack of volume in the voices in
almost all the soloists.
Just as W. S. Gilbert has always
had the edge over his partner, Arthur
Sullivan, in general popularity and
literary merit, so does the music
of the local production outrank the

Carter, also a journalism major, is
in V-12 and expects to be here until
the end of the V-12 semester in July.
He has much journalism experience to
his credit, for he has served on the
staff of the Albemarle News and
Press, and has also done work for the
Winston-Salem Sentinel. During his
career here as a civilian, Carter was
night sports editor of the Daily Tar

Student Council Reports
FACTS:
A Navy V-12 student was reported by his instructor for copying almost
verbatim a theme for English that had been written and turned in previously
by another student. The theme was supposed to have been pledged as his
own work and done in accordance with the honor code. He signed the pledge
on the paper. When he realized that he had been suspected, he went to his
professor and confessed giving the impression that he did not know he was
suspected and was confessing of his own volition. .
DECISION:
The council felt that this was a direct violation of the honor code done
intentionally and with the knowledge that it was wrong. The council recom
mended to V-12 headquarters that he be brought before the Commanding
Officer.
RESULTS:
At the Captain's Mast the facts found by the council were substantiated.
The Commanding Officer separated the student from the V-12 program and
transferred him to the Naval Training camp at Bainbridge, Maryland.
COUNCIL OPINION: .
The Student Council would like to point out that when action is taken on
a V-12 student as well as a civilian, that action js recorded in Central Records
office on the transcript of the student. If a student ever wishes to re-enter
this university he must apply to the Student Council for reinstatement. If
the council decides to reinstate a suspended student, his record is cleared of
all remarks. The Council suggests that every student suspended or placed
on probation apply to the council after a suitable length of time whether
or not he intends to re-enter the University. Otherwise the action taken will
remain on his transcript indefinitely and any information given out by the
records office concerning him will include the council's action.
jointly by the Tar Heel and the War
Coordination Board, the drive has met

Schmuhl, the dance committee of the

ing on final arrangements for the ball
to be held in Woollen Gym February
19 from 8:30 to midnight.
Stamp, Votes
From now until Wednesday stu
dents may vote for their favorite pin-;
up girls in the YMCA lobby. The pur
chase of one ten-cent war stamp en
titles a student to one vote. A war
bond, based ; on . maturity value, is
worth 250 votes. Bonds bought at the
post office or the bank should be re
ported at the booth in the YMCA, the
only place where votes can be cast.
