said, "We would all like to see more
interest on the part of the women in

Night Spot
To Give Party
In GM Tonight
The gala "24 Below Club" will be
open again tonight at 9:30. The Club
is making plans for an even larger
crowd than last week. Students, e
i
sure you're in on this party if you
missed the one last week.
Carolina's new night spot opened
with a bang last Saturday night. The
dance floor was crowded the entire
evening with gay co-eds and their
escorts.
Swaying Girls
The full swaying formals of the
girls blended with the dimly lighted
room and the soft music to paint a
picture of beauty and romance on the
dance floor, while other couples chose
to sit at the colorfully decorated tables
sipping cokes and whispering sweet
nothings with only a dim candle to.
light their faces. Such was the scene
at the "24 Below Club" on its first
night.- - ' v '" -, -
The cooperation of the student body
was far greater than had been ex
pected. The demands for cold drinks
and sandwiches were so great that the
serving table ran out and twice had to
send for more during the evening.
Thoroughly Enjoyed
Everyone that attended this opening
party enjoyed himself, and many have
expressed a desire for the continuation
of the club. According to the present
plans of the sponsoring committee the
"24 Below Club" intends to open its
doors and offer entertainment to the
students the ' remaining Saturday
nights in this quarter. If, by the end
of the term the campus still looks for
ward with zeal to the weekly openings,
there is no reason why the club cannot
continue indefinitely.
The Graham Memorial office dis
closed Thursday night, that on April
14, due to other conflicting dances and
parties there would be no Friday night
dance in the lounge.
Navy Lt. Bernard Carnevale
Took Part in African Invasion
By Georgia Helen Webb
The glamour of the South Sea
islands invades Lt. Bernard Carneyale's
wartime experience of a torpedoing
by German subs and a long drift on a
doughnut raft. Two trips to England
and a Caribbean trip during which
Lt. Carnevale's merchant ship was tor
pedoed and he floated seven and a half
days on a doughnut raft mark the be
ginning of his navy career.
As physical training officer for the
V-12 program, the lieutenant has been
in Chapel Hill since the last of Feb
ruary, in charge of the physical educa
tion program.
From New Jersey
Born in New Jersey in 1915, the dark,
lean athlete attended Rutgers and New
York University, where he majored in
commerce and physical education. He
played professional basketball with
the Jersey City Reds, and the Kate
Smith Celtics in New" York, as well as
the Goodyear Rubber Co. in Akron,
Ohio. After a few years punctuated by
odd jobs and basketball honors, Lt.
Carnevale launched his navy career in
December, 1941. As a member of the
V-5 group he was sent to the Boston
gunnery school where he stayed for
two weeks before being assigned to a
merchant ship as naval officer.

Pan American
Celebration
Scheduled Here
The fourteenth celebration of Pan
American day, April 14, will be ob
served at Carolina by special movies,
a library exhibit, an art gallery talk
and an informal reception.
Pan American day was established in
1930 by the republics of the eastern
hemisphere. Ihe idea grew out of a
suggestion to the Pan American Union
that the American nations observe each
other's national holidays. Since this
seemed rather complicated, it was de
cided that a single day be set aside for
such celebration.
April 14
April 14 was chosen for Pan Ameri
can day because it is the date of the
first international conference of Amer
ican States in 1890. It has the added
advantage that schools will be in ses
sion at that time all over the hemi
sphere. Celebrations of Pan American day
have increasingly stressed relations be
tween the republics in this hemisphere,
the festive side of the occasion,' as ex
pressed in concerts, pageants, dances
and other community and school activ
ities. Free Movies .
On April 14, at the Playmakers thea
tre from 2 o'clock until 4 in the after
noon, technicolor shorts on Central and
South American countries will be
, shown. Some of the films will be those
taken by Walt Disney when he toured
South America for material for a mo
tion picture. Another is a short on
three Mexican towns, narrated by Ty
rone Power, while a third deals with
the 13,000 mile trip down the Pan
American highway from Caracas to
the Straits of Magellan.
Following the movies an exhibit of
Latin American paintings will be held
in Person Hall, with a gallery talk by
Miss Harriet Adams. After the short
talk an informal public reception will
take place, during which Latin Ameri
can music will be played.
The Weekly
The Chapel Hill Weekly will carry
a full page spread on Pan American
day in its next issue. The program
here was arranged by the Spanish
and Art Departments and the Libra
ry, with the cooperation of the South
ern Council on International Rela
tions and Inter-American Institute.
On Pan American day the Library
will exhibit a collection of books from
and about the countries of this hemi
sphere. trips were "destination, England." Re
turning from both safely, he embarked
on a wartime Caribbean cruise for his
third gamble. His merchant ship
stopped among the British Isles, pick
ing up precious cargo which it carried
to Puerto Rico, Jamaica, the Barbados,
Trinidad, Brazil, and Rio de Janeiro.
The lieutenant noted in passing, inci
dentally, that the Rio harbor was, to
him, the most beautiful piece of scen
ery, though coffee plantations, and
beach and country clubs seem to have
left lasting impressions, too.
North African -Invasion
After loading cargo in British and
Dutch Guiana the ship was headed for
the United States, when unexpected
orders to join the convoy for the North
African invasion were received. Re
versing their course, the merchant men
touched Casablanca, but, in the Lieu
tenant's words, "got out of there fast,"
when the air raids became too real
istic. He says, "In the movies you don't
get the frightening effect of the noises
When it really happens you think the
bombs are right above you, and they
may be a mile or so ahead." Flashes of
anti-aircraft gunfire, he says, add
more than their share to the surreal
istic furore.

Carolina Guys and Gals
Find 'It's A Small World'
It's either a small world or North
Carolina alumni are a big family.
When Lt. G. E. (Bo) Shepard ar
rived at a Naval base on the coast of
South America recently to inspect its
athletic program, he found the officer
in charge to be Lt. Sterling Stoude
mire.' Lieutenant Shepard was formerly
Assistant Athletic Director at Caro
lina, while Lieutenant - Stoudemire
taught Spanish, and both men are
now on leaves from the University
faculty.
Such coincidences are now com
monplace in the war zones over tiie
world, according to reports coming to
Secretary J. Maryon Saunders in the
Alumni Office here from day to day.
Meets Classmate
Capt. Craig Mcintosh recently went
to Australia on rest leave from flying
duties in New Guinea. One of the
first people he ran into was Lt. De-
Newsome in putting this plan to work.
Second, there will be a meeting of these
volunteers sometime in the near future
to clarify the honor system and stu
dent government more fully to the
volunteer committee so that they can
explain it in detail to the student body.
Third, after these steps, will come
house-to-house "bull sessions" on the
student government and honor council.
Outlines Plan
In outlining this plan of action, New
some emphasized that "the student
council is just as much yours as ours
as is student government."
Main speaker of the evening, Albert
Coates, head of the Institute of Gov
ernment, who has read all the records
of every student governing organiza
tion on campus from 1795 to 1943 com
pared the fight which students have
carried on for student government for
150 years to the fight which the people
of England waged against their king
for countless centuries in order to gain
democracy.
He said that Student Government
on
campus has gone through three
stages since the University's found
ing. In the first stage, from 1795 un
til the outbreak of the Civil War, the
trustees made the rules, the faculty
enforced them, and the students were
expected to obey them. During this
period, Mr. Coates said, student gov
ernment flourished in secret and pri
vate clubs' which the students organ
ized and ruled themselves with a de
gree of effectiveness which the faculty
envied.
Officially Recognized
In 1875, Mr. Coates continued, these
private clubs were officially recog
nized by faculty members who had
themselves been student club members
in earlier years.
The present stage with the students
in complete control of their campus
life began, he went on to say, in 1900
when the student council was formed.
Student Honor
The vital spark which brought Stu
dent Government to life on this cam
pus and kept it alive for 150 years is
student honor, Mr. Coates said. , He
likened the relation of student honor
to student government to the relation
of brick and mortar in a wall.
He declared, "You can beat down
the forms and machinery of every stu
dent governing organization on cam
pus, but leave the tradition of honor
alive, and every vital -function of stu
dent government will renew itself in
other forms. Tear down your tradi
tion of honor and the student council,
student legislature and all the cumu
lated student agencies will rot to the
core."
"What does this tradition of honor
