Hipps, Jr. Lacking only the insignificant in gredient, wine, the Saturday opening night atmosphere 'at the "24-Below Club" may be described by ; the title of the currently popular hit tune, "Can ' dlelight and Wine." When each patron had negotiated the 24 steps, from which the club derives its unique name, to locate very easily the club in Graham Memorial basement, he found himself in a world totally un like that of books, studies, and teach ers which concern, him almost all of the time. - He entered by the magic of recorded music which came floating out into the well-lighted hall, transforming it into a half real world. In the dim, soft, mellow-yellow light furnished by the steady, dickering flame of the candle which sts,clc' out - of-what -appeared to be a large-mouthed beer bottle on each individual table for two, the dancing figures looked like over-sized shadowy elves and fairies. One blonde coed in particular lent a fairy-like atmosphere to the place as she danced gracefully around in a long, white evening dress. The "24-Below" Club needs musi cians, comedians, entertainers for its program every Saturday night from 9:30-12:00. It especially needs musicians who have played with dance bands, although anyone who can do anything entertaining will be welcomed. All interested persons should contact Julia Funk, chairman, or any other member of the men women relations committee of the YWCA. Thermometer The first thing that met the gaze of the patron was a large cardboard ther mometer about three-fourths the size of an ordinary door. The red murcury in the tube stood at 24 degrees, while on either side of the tube was an out lined arrow pointing, toward the tube.

Cropped light brown hair, a hearty laugh that echoes through Harry's at lunch time, and a varied assortment of cuss words . . . that's Nananne Porcher. Her natural habitat is the Chi Omega house or the Playmaker theatre where clad in cover-alls, she may be doing anything from lugging scenery around to teaching a lab in stage lighting. Floridian Nananne hails from east Florida, Cocoa, on the Indian river. Her dra matic career began at the age of three when she played her first role as a kit ten. At a later pageant she took the part of Prince "Charming in "Cinderella in Fairy Land." She had the lead in her senior play in high school and at the same time was technician, devising dimmers out of battery jars. However, Nananne emphatically claims she is not an actress.

Berryhill Says Survey Shows Medical Care Is Inadequate Only One Doctor For Every 1600 "A survey shows that approximately one-third of the people of North Caro lina do not receive adequate medical care and that the State ranks very low (42nd in 1942) in the number of hos pital beds in proportion to population," Dean W. Reece Berryhill of the School of Medicine here, said in an address to the Chapel Hill Rotary Club at its meeting last week. Dean Berryhill was discussing some of i the points in the state-wide hos pital program recently advocated by Governor J. M. Broughton. One Doc for 1600 The number of doctors in proportion to population is 1 to 1600 for North Carolina as compared to 1 for 800 for the nation, Dean Berryhill said in ex plaining the need for expanding pres ent facilities for medical care. In some counties of the State, he added, there is only one doctor for 5,000 people. To meet this situation, he said, a group of doctors in the state has recom mended that a large hospital be built to take care of the indigent and people in the low income group; that the course in the present school of medicine in the University be expanded from two PORCHER She was manager of the famous Greek cram fit. an annual contest held between 7 the freshmen and sophomores.

Schools Insufficient Although the two four-year schools, Duke and the Bowman Gray School of Wake Forest College, are doing splen did jobs in medical education, they do not begin to supply enough doctors, nurses, and other types of medical per sonnel, the speaker said. There are only a few more doctors licensed each year on the average than are lost through death, retirement and removal to other states.

The front page which had the car toon of a legislature trial was well ap proved by many who attended the legis lature meeting earlier this year. "Vote For Frogden" was appreciated by those who knew the story behind the cartoon. Pages two and three got less atten tion as numerous readers stated that they would like to see a similar issue composed of the material run on the front and back pages published every week. . Several readers commented that some of the sports news was actually believed until they realized that it was April Fool. ft ivii ssajxvsfi .: ::::S::S!::::;:::i5::S:?::5 i i ; '. ?

As the Tar Heel went to press nothing had been unearthed as to probable opposing candidates. At present it seems possible that for the first time in Carolina politics there will be no second or third party, though independent candidates may oppose the Group Plans Entertainment A ten man committee to plan enter tainment for spring quarter was ap pointed this week by acting student body president Turk Newsome. The group is planning to reorganize the Sunday Night Sessions committee which provided weekly amusement for the campus last year. Dances, movies and other forms of recreation may also be sponsored. Members of the committee are Nancy Smith, chairman, Kat Hill, Julie Funk, Harold Gould, Phil Gilbert, Tom Avery, Betty Lou Cypert, Joan Kos berg, Dennis O'Brient and Charlie Frank Benbow. This newly formed committee will act in cooperation with the YMCA and YWCA and any other organizations which sponsor planned entertainment for the student body. They hope to aid in the establishment of the 24 Belowfl Club as a Carolina hangout. Any suggestions for various kinds of entertainment will be welcomed by the committee at any time. - Mass Meeting A mass' meeting of first year V-12, Marine, NROTC and civilian students is scheduled for Wednesday night at 7 o'clock in Gerrard hall.
