Richter Named TH Boss
To Succeed Horace Garter
By Mildred Johnson
Muriel Richter was named editor of the Tar Heel by a unanimous vote of
the PU Board at a meeting on Thursday, to complete the unexpired term of
Horace Carter, AS USNR. He leaves at the end of the V-12 trimester for
midshipman's school at Notre Dame. For the second time in the history of

Grail Plans
Two Dances
Will Highlight
Summer Frolicing
Two big dances to keep summer
school f rolicers in condition have been
planned by the Order of the Grail for
the nights of July 8 and August 5. The
two dances will be the only big terpsi
chorean affairs of the session for stu
dents. While plans are still tentative, the
prospect is that Freddy Johnson and
the lads will play for the two affairs.
The dances will be inexpensive, Grail
leaders said, and will afford new V-12's,
civilians, and coeds a chance to get
acquainted.
The place is Woollen gym. The Tar
Heel's staff mathematician, who has
figured out a ratio of about 4 boys to
every girl on campus, advises you to
get your date now.
Blood Stains on Rock Leave Only Clue to Disappearance
Of Lover Peter Dromgoole at Mysterious Gimghoul Castle
Round Table In
Castle Ballroom
By Georgia Helen Webb
Fencing knights, dancing ladies, and
great halls, aglitter with Arthurian
glamour and shining armour, became
a panoramic obsession with him as he
lay gazing down into the deep valley
of the Durham Triassic basin, mapping
out in his creative imagination an
Anglo-Saxon city overlooking a valley
speckled with toy islands and a wind
ing, bridged river. The city he would
call "the city of the Gimghouls," and
it3 chief defending castle would be an
impenetrable fortress Hippol could be
its name.
So Wray Martin, Gimghoul order
founder, charged with a spirit infused
by Sir Thomas Malory's Morte d'Ar
thuf , lay on a Piney Prospect bluff, en
veloped in a reverie that became a real
ity in the shape of the Gimghoul castle,
formerly known as "Hippol."
Built by the Gimghouls, who com
prise one of the University's most ex
clusive junior and senior social fac
tions, in 1925-26, the castle itself is
the crystallization of a long dream. It
was built by Waldesian stone- workers
on the pattern of a pre-Norman Eng

Approaching the. building, located
one-half mile east of the campus, you
see ivy toureens, and hickories, gums,
pines, white oaks, and dogwoods, swish
ing in the mountain atmosphere breeze ;
you're aware of a cedar smell and a
haunting, elusive awareness of mys
tery, heightened by the sight of the
rough stone fortress on the crest of
the hill. This 1944 impression was
plotted at a conclave two decades ago,
for which the minutes read : "The gen
eral idea of the new lodge expressed
in the meeting were that it should be
fireproof; of rough stone; of. unique
design; medieval and mysterious look
ing; containing dance hall, bedrooms,
kitchen, dressing rooms, club room, ob
servation tower, terrace, and unusual
rand attractive mystic' features." The
interior of the castle emphasizes the
old English appearance of the build

Summer School director, Guy B.
Phillips revealed that this year's en
rollment marks a drop of about 300
students below last summer. How
ever, late registration, which closed
last night, will bring the final figure
up.
Between 4500 and 5000 students, in
cluding the Navy V-12 and Pre-flight
units, constitutes Carolina's total stu
dent population. "We want to main- .
tain a strong civilian student body as
a balance to the military units," de
clared Phillips as the summer session
began.
Variety of Courses
"The purpose of the summer school
administration is to offer as wide, a
range of undergraduate and graduate
courses as the enrollment justifies,"
the summer semester director went on
to say.
University departments and the ex
tension division are conducting nine
separate institutes, conferences and
short courses under the sponsorship of
various state agencies.
Special courses include: the all
state music course; dramatic art for
high school students; the North Caro
lina high school English institute; the
Reading institute; the social - science
teachersMnstitute; the education work
shop; and short courses in high school
senior English, nursing education, and
public health nursing in tuberculosis
control.
Extra-Curriculars
To conduct and supervise recrea
tion facilities, the summer school ad
ministration sponsors an extra-curricular
activities program, under the di
rection of Miss Nell Barefoot.
Summer registration took place on
June 12 in the Women's Gym, and
classes began the following day.
