The Governor's Commission, formed to direct the celebration and composed of the Board of Trustees, a faculty committee, and three University stu dents, discussed plans for the program and reached some definite decisions. January, 1945 Exercises celebrating the formal opening of the University are sched uled for anniversary day, January 15, with appropriate addresses and cere monies marking the day. The sugges tion was advanced by Kemp P. Battle to combine this day with the celebra tion of Hinton James Day, commem orated by students and alumni in honor of the first student to enter the Uni versity. This proposal will be discussed at length at the next meeting of the Commission. On an undetermined date during the winter or spring quarter, a sympo sium of three to six prominent speak ers will highlight the season with a dis cussion on the importance of research, Influence on commencement exer cises will be the address on a celebra tion topic by an authority from a rep resentative Southern institution. An additional feature will be a pageant portraying theNhistory of UNC. Writ ten by Paul Green, the performance will be staged by students and music will be furnished by Roy Harris.

Fordham received 87 . votes. Jones, with the next highest total, 38, auto matically became Vice President. Oth er totals in the Presidential race were: Garland Scruggs, 16; William Scholle meyer, 13; Mance Bogey, 10.

Mr. Daniels, or Archie as he is com monly called at the gallery, has been, as he himself terms it, '"a rolling stone." Beginning his career as a school teacher, he soon tired of that sedentary life, and took to joining in holy matrimony, the future parents of dear little boys and girls, he was glad he wouldn't have to teach. In short became a justice of the peace. The next step was the logical one: Judge Daniels, but because of the ques tionable nature of several of the cases, he thought it best to leave the judging end of the business to others. He would report the results, which task he per formed ably for a year.

Carl Heinmil ler, Pacific combat veteran, today in a straight from the shoulder talk told eight Carolina co-eds of the very urgent need for women in the armed services. He told the eight co-eds of the real service women can do in the army. "I've seen too many young men killed because they didn't know how to handle a gun. They didn't? have the necessary training to save themselves. Women in the armed services can free the men needed to train these boys to fight and live," he said. Qualifications Cpl.

It was not long before he edited his own paper successfully. During this farrago of experiences, Archie has always had one recourse for periods of depressions; one outlet for his emotions his painting. This emotional feeling is well expressed in the works now on exhibition. His ori ginal and brilliant style has produced numerous prize-winning works. Many of his works are decorating the walls of the homes of famed personages, in cluding Archibald Henderson. In light of these last statements, his ability is all the more "remarkable when .it is learned Archie has never taken a les son in art in his life. Entirely self taught, his brilliant, natural technique makes up for his lack, if any, of tech nical knowledge. Working here for the last four years, Archie has endeared himself to all those who know him. Chapel Hill is proud to have him call her his home. f$ '- ft i&J tut 1 'srf - w 1- Theatre in London. The play is one which is infrequently done, this being its first production by the Playmakers. There are over sixty students and faculty members of the cast. Three dance scenes, involving thirty dancers, are being staged by Foster Fitz-Sim-ons,N to the music of Handel and Bach. Eighty-one costumes of the early Ren aissance period have been executed by Irene Smart, - costumiere of the Play makers, for the twelve scenes of the play. Litterateurs and scholars at the University are proving enthusiastic over the Playmaker revival. The use of the sea coast of Bohemia in the third act of the play caused Ben Jonson to comment: "Shakespeare in the play brought in a number of men saying they had suffered shipwreck in Bohemia, while there is no sea near by for some 100 miles." This supposed geographical blunder has been a source of anxiety to scholars and querulous students ever since. Co-op Cooks 16 Students Pool Ration Points When food rationing came along and the eating places in Chapel Hill became overloaded with the hungry people, sixteen students put their brains and meat points together to meet the situation. The idea was merely 'to have one meal, well cooked and served and at the same time an enjoyable atmosphere. The group was not selected or chosen according to any particular qualifications or merit; they just got together because they liked to eat. They found a place to prepare the meals in the basement of the Presby terian Church. Then they made out a budget, fixed a work schedule in which each person had an equal share of work and paid an equal amount of money into the pool. From there on out the sixteen students in the group have assured themselves of one good meal each day at minimum cost and maximum enjoyment. When the group first started the women took over the age old custom of cooking and the boys had to go re luctantly to the kitchen after the meal to clean up the dishes and dirty pans. And then one day there was a rebellion. Charles Freeman, sociology graduate student, made the statement that he could cook as good as any girl or any girl's mother. The group was willing to take the chance. The result was amazingly good.

Summer School Expects Large Civilian Glass June 12-July 20, July 21-August 29 Are Session Dates . A large enrollment of civilian stu dents for the Summer Session of the University is indicated by the fact that already the number of requests-for in formation exceeds the number last year by 200, it was announced today by Administrative Dean : Robert B. House and Director Guy B. Phillips. According to the new Summer Ses sion catalogue, which has just come from the press, the dates for the two summer terms are June 12 to July 20 and July 21 to August 29. Civilian Program Director Phillips pointed out that, despite the elimination of many sum mer sessions throughout the country, the University will maintain a civilian program for graduates and under graduates again this year with adjust ments being made to dovetail with the University's wartime speed-up pro gram. "Work will be available in approxi mately 300 courses representing prac tically all of the regular University departments," he said. "One hundred and fifty faculty members will direct the work of the Summer Session, about 20 of whom will be visiting instructors. High School Entrants "The Summer Session is being of fered as a service to undergraduate and graduate students,' he said. "Transfer students may make up de ficiencies while high school seniors, af ter passing special examinations, may enter and complete one quarter. of col lege work before the fall, thereby ac celerating their college careers and getting that much further ahead be fore entering the armed service."

Elections Bill Turned Back To Committee Rules Committee Sets Three Miss Limit on Legislators By Stanley Colbert The dance expenditures question was silenced for the third time in three years Thursday night, when the Legislature voted to table a bill pro viding for increased dance budgets. "I feel that this just isn't the time to present such a bill," stated Charlie Frank Benbow, who spoke against its passage. "We cannot consider battles as U. S. victories where American lives are being lost. The war condition has not improved, and will not, until every enemy is annihilated." Elections Bill The Major Campus Elections Bill was referred back to the Ways and Means Committee, after a very thor- ' ough discussion indicated various flaws still present in the bill. Suggestions were made by various legislators and visitors concerning the limiting of .responsibilities of candi dates' finances to a committee of three people. These three would take the complete responsibility of all financial violations. Amendment Also discussed was an amendment to lengthen the period of time be tween the deadline of financial re ports and the actual elections. This would give the Elections Committee sufficient time to investigate and dis qualify the candidates proven guilty of violations. Actually passed was an amendment made by legislator Mad ison Wright, stating in part that if a person is proven guilty of violating the Elections bill, provisions be made for re-election processes, with the added nomination of any candidates Discussion was also carried on con cerning any statements released by a See LEGISLATURE, page U Too Many Chefs Do Not Spoil Pie pie of boys in the group began' to take on their share of the cooking, until now it is almost equally divided among girls and boys.
